Sora: Well, it's been a long time, but I've finally got chapter 4 ready! OH YEAH! GO ME! (cough) Sorry about that. Anyway, I'm glad that all you peeps out there like me story. And since I didn't do it in the last 3 chapters, I'm going to give answers to your reviews. I'm only answering the signed reviews, because I don't want to be giving out anyone's personal info.
Hikari980: I never said he was a sweet and loving brother. What makes you think that he is? That was only one flashback. They could have fought a lot before. Oh, and HAHAHAAAA! CLIFFHANGERS ROCK! (sticks tongue out)
teenyugiohpotterphantom: Yep, it's Kyo! Candy for all! (passes out candy) Thanks for reading my story.
I've got a secret: In this chapter, I'm taking your advice and separating the dialogue. I hope it makes it longer. Yes, I know I'm evil. Bad Sora-chan, bad. (playfully slaps hand)
Ferocia: I would be scared too! Thanks for reading my story. Please continue reading.
Sora: Once again, thanks for reading. Well, on to the chapter!
Chap. 4 The Meeting"Damn it!"
Kyo slammed his fist on the dining room table,
'Why is she here?'
"What's the matter, Kyonkichi," said Shigure smiling his perverted smile.
"Shut up!" Kyo got up to leave the table.
"She'll remember eventually, Kyo." Turning around, Kyo saw Yuki leaning against the walked towards Kyo, "You know that, right?"
Kyo glared at him, "I know that! I don't need to be told by someone like you; you weren't even there when it happened!"
And with that, he stormed out of the house, leaving Shigure and Yuki staring after him. A few minutes later, Tohru came downstairs with Ari's dirty clothes.
"How is she, Honda-san?"
Tohru smiled at Yuki, "She's getting cleaned up."
in the bathroom
Ari turned the knobs and watched as the steaming water filled the tub. Once filled, almost to the rim, she inched herself in, wincing as the soothing water washed her cuts. She lay motionless in the water, letting her body soak in its warmth. Closing her eyes, she looked back at her old memories, trying to find some clue as to who her brother was. But every time she thought about it, her thoughts always wandered to how her father abused her and how Akito raped her. Ari let silent tears drip into the water, dwelling on the past, hoping for an answer.
Back in the dining room
Kyo walked back into the room. Shigure was reading his newspaper and Yuki was helping Tohru with the dishes. He sat silently at the table, listening for any signs that Ari would be entering the room. His ears perked when her heard the creaking of the stairs. Kyo turned around to see Ari enter the room, fully clothed; hair dried, and bruises clearing visible on her face. He clenched his fist under the table. Yawning, Ari looked around the room. Her eyes widened,
"Shigure-san!"
Shigure looked up over his paper and smiled, "Well Ari-chan, it's been such a long time. And my, how much you've grown!"
Ari ran forward and wrapped her arms around him, "It's so good to see you again!"
Shigure patted her on the head, "Yes, it's great to see you too. Now please let go, you're wrinkling my paper."
Looking around again, she saw Yuki in the kitchen, "Don't tell me that damn rat is here, too?"
'Same as always; Very kind, but a fiery temper like her brother,' thought Shigure, chuckling.
"What's with the hair," commented Ari, turning her attention to Kyo, "Did you dye it or something?"
"IT'S NATURALLY THIS COLOR," yelled Kyo, turning to face Ari. Something clicked inside her mind when she saw his face. Crimson eyes filled the in some of the face of her brother in her memory. (A/N: Does that make sense to you?) Shaking her head she responded,
"Is that right?"
"THAT'S RIGHT!"
They continued to glare at each other until Tohru walked into the room,
"Ah! Ari-chan you're here!"
Ari turned around to look at Tohru. Her eyes softened and she spoke in a quieter tone,
"I'm sorry for being rude earlier. Thank you so much for your hospitality."
Tohru waved her hands in front of her,
"No, you don't have to apologize! I shouldn't have looked at your locket with out permission!"
Kyo's eyes widened when he saw the locket around her neck. It brought back painful memories. Ari looked over at Kyo,
'Why does he look so familiar?' She noticed that he was looking at her too. "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing," he responded quickly, "Are you any good at fighting?"
She gave him a confused look. Then realizing what he meant, she put her hand on her hip and smirked, "If it's a fight you want, then you better get ready for a serious ass whooping!"
"You're on!" The two walked into the yard. Ari took of her black jacket, revealing a white tang-top. Kyo got into fighting position.
"Ladies first," he said, bowing slightly.
She charged at him and aimed a punch to his stomach. Kyo easily dodged and elbowed her in the back. Wincing, she quickly flipped over and nailed him in the head with her foot, making blood drip from his lip.
Yuki, Shigure, and Tohru watched with interest as the two cats fought. Kyo and Ari were slowly getting tired, but neither showed signs of weakness. Again, Ari charged at him as though to punch him. Kyo jumped out of the way, but then was sent to the ground when Ari kicked him square in the back. (She had flipped behind him and kicked him) Smiling, she grabbed her jacket,
"I'm starving what's for dinner?"
Later that night, Tohru served everyone fish for dinner; then took her place at the table. Kyo, who had a black eye, a swollen lip, and a sore back looked over at Ari.
"HEY!" Everyone turned and looked at Kyo with a confused expression. Pointing at Ari, he yelled, "Those are MY clothes!"
