Hey I'm back again. I don't even know if anyone's reading this. So I keep this short. I'm happy I received word today that someone close to me might be moving back into my city!
Kyo scoffed "What the hell are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the states." Bane sighed, "I still don't know what I ever did to you that makes you act the way you do." The redhead shrugged ignoring his twin grabbing something from the counter top and walked back out. Tohru blinked and looked from the door he had left from and then to Bane's down-turned face. She felt very sorry for the girl. Yuki walked out as well. Ayame hugged the girl slightly "You'll be fine, he's just shocked I'm sure." He reassured the younger girl. She tugged out of his embrace "No, he's very distressed, but it's not his fault. He's always been that way. He will always refuse to deal with something like this." She looked over at Tohru who was still working on cooking "You mind if I watch?" she asked leaning against the counter by the slightly shorter girl. Tohru looked over at Bane "No, I'm sorry Kyo's acting so cruel." The other older men left to keep from being distracting. "Its fine," Bane replied her red eyes turning toward the floor; "I don't need other people worrying over me and him. He's my twin I can take care of my own position with him." Tohru nodded "He's really not that bad." She replied with a bright smile. Bane couldn't help but smile back. Tohru tilted her head "Do you want to help?" she asked motioning to where she was cutting vegetables. Bane's eyes widened a bit, she had never cooked before, she paused a second then smiled again softly "Sure I'll help."
It wasn't long before they had dinner mostly done. Tohru asked Bane to go tell everyone it was time to start rounding themselves up. Bane nodded and headed off not having to go far to find Ayame, Hatori, and Yuki. They were in the living room Ayame was pining over an old high school tale with Yuki pinned under one arm while the other flailed about dramatically. The rat's eye twitched in annoyance. "Tohru says its time that everyone start gathering up." She said after watching for a few more seconds. The guys simply shuffled over to the table in the other room. Bane watched them go before moving on to find the wayward cat, and dog.
She had searched several parts of the house before she came to Shigure's study. And she stopped upon hearing her name in the middle of a few other words. She couldn't make out most of what they were saying, but she distinctly heard a very loud 'And why the hell does she have to stay here?' Bane was saddened by the comment, however she had half expected him not to want her around. She knocked, walking in after a few second. The other side of the desk was taken up with the two people. Her hands tangled a few of her finger into her back belt loop, "It's time to come out for dinner." She stated quietly. Not dejected, she wouldn't let on that she had heard her brother. However, she did seem lost in her own little world on the way to the rest of the group.
Dinner was almost an awkward time, some people found comfort in talking. Bane was mostly silent; except for the random questions that Aya or Shigure threw her way she sat in her spot looking down and seeming dead to the world. Kyo didn't seem to notice much at all sense he wasn't exactly the happiest about this turn of events. Bane looked up at Aya to answer another question, and caught sight of him glaring at the snake. Bane answered the question slightly longer then she had the last few she'd been asked. Tohru brightly added a few questions as well. Bane smiled lightly at the whole group. She was thankful about the whole deal. Getting to come and see the family she had known as a child. She did wish that she could stay, but she didn't feel right about it. Maybe someday she could stay there, be with them, with him. Now wasn't the time for it though. He was hurting too much for her to come in and cause more. The rest of the dinner went rather quickly, and without much trouble. There was one incident of Yuki and Kyo getting worked up and yelling their respective insults. Bane winced at first upon hearing them, but it seemed only natural sense they had been at it from practically birth.
Everyone seemed to be sitting around doing next to nothing it had started raining causing Kyo to go into a grouchy mood. Tohru was running about keeping him and Yuki under control sense Kyo would most defiantly start another fight, and he was in no condition for it. Hatori, Ayame, and Shigure had formed their normal trio and were off in another room talking. Bane was sitting against a wall in the same room as the other kids her age. She looked from her brother, to her cousin who was doing homework, to the new girl living with them who was walking back into the room with a blanket for the other cat. Kyo muttered thanks taking the offered blanket and rolled over facing the back of the couch he was curled up on. Bane removed herself from her spot and started to wander off toward the room with the older men. Kyo noticed his sister's departure, and lazily got up to follow for a distance. Bane let him alone, and he wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not. He punched the wall "God damn it! Why the hell did you have to get up?" he yelled. Bane jumped not expecting him to have been following her. She turned as the door to Shigure's study slid open. "I don't know." She replied simply. He glared heatedly at her maybe it was the rain. Maybe it was just the fact he was on sensory overload, but either way he was pissed off "You didn't have to come here!" Bane shook her head, "I know that. I have no intention of staying. Hatori…could you take me to see Akito? Please." She looked up at the dragon solemnly. His showing eye widened she wanted to see him by her own choice, why? That could be a death wish. He nodded though as uneasy as he was. Ayame seemed faint, and clutched onto Shigure. The dog frowned "Why?" he nearly whispered. Bane shook her head "Because I need to." Kyo glared at her again "You're being stupid." She looked back "I've always been stupid. Maybe once you wont have to be alone." She replied and walked out the door, and into the rain. She stopped letting it wash over her, her knees trembled and she got into the car. At least this way she could sit. It wasn't long until Hatori came back to the car as well. He had left Aya inside, must have told him to stay the night she reasoned. The drive back was calm, almost too much so. Bane watched the rain listless much like her brother was bound to be back at Shigure's house. Hatori sighed, "You don't have to see him you know." Bane glared sharply up at the older man "You don't know what I'm thinking." She said softly, almost a complete contrast to her look. It was scary, how detached the girl was. He guessed it was fault of her condition. They pulled up to the main compound in a short amount of time, Bane going strait for Akito's sanctuary. She didn't knock, she stepped in, and she closed the door before Hatori was able to enter after her. She locked it from the inside.
It wasn't until hours later that the second cat of the Zodiac was back out of the closed off room. She had a large bruise under her right eye. Hatori asked what Akito had done Bane replied nothing she hadn't asked him to do. The dragon looked bewildered at the statement. Either she was lying, or she had asked something that had gotten on Akito's bad side. Something that was very easy to do. He hadn't expected her to go there alone. She was quiet after that, and in the morning she was gone again.
