Sora: It's been a long time since I last updated. I guess… Anyway, I have here chapter 5. Woo hoo! Nothing too exciting has happened lately… as usual. Well, I can't just blab all day/night I better get this chapter started.

Ch. 5 The Talk

"Awww… do I have to?" It was Sunday morning and everyone was sitting at the table as Tohru served breakfest.

"I'm sorry Ari but you must go to school. And don't worry, I'll work everything out with 'him'," Shigure said sternly to Ari.

"Fine… but I won't like it," Ari pouted.

"Ari-chan," Tohru said getting Ari's attention, "If you want I can take you to the school to have you enrolled!" Tohru beamed at Ari. Ari smiled back. No matter how hard she tried she could never say no to Tohru. Nor could anyone else in the Sohma family, like a certain orange-haired boy.

"Okay, how about we go now?" Grabbing Tohru's hand they slipped on their shoes and ran out the door. Kyo got up from the table.

"Don't go stalking any young girls, Kyo-kun," smirked Shigure. Kyo grabbed a pillow and smacked Shigure in the face. Slipping on his shoes, he too went out the door. He ran down the dirt path when he could see to feminine figures walking down the trail. He ran as fast as he could to catch up. Ari, sensing someone approaching, spun around and punched Kyo right in the face. Blood dripped from his nose as he glared at her from behind her fist. And once again something sort of 'clicked' inside Ari's mind.

FLASHBACK

Ari and her orange-haired brother wrestled on the floor. Her brother happened to be winning and out of reflex she punched him in the face, drawing blood from is nose. He glared at his younger sister. She removed her hand from his face only to find him smirking at her. Suddenly they were on the floor again. Her brother tickled as she screamed and held her ribs as the ached with the pain. (laughing fades)

END OF FLASHBACK

Removing her hand from Kyo's face Ari could make out a angry expression.

"Why the hell did you punch me in the face?"

"Why the hell did you come sneaking up on us?" The two siblings continued to glare at each other until Tohru could finally calm them down enough to continue walking to the school.

At the School

"All you have to do is fill out these necessary documents and all will be set," smiled the secretary. Ari took the paper and pen from the secretary and began to fill out the forms. Pondering over these questions, Shigure had problems of his own to attend to.

Main House

Shigure lay sprawled on the floor, unable to move due to the pain cursing through his body.

"You expect me to let that little bitch live with you," snarled the leader of the Sohmas. Akito walked over to Shigure, menacingly. Grabbing a fist full of hair, he brought Shigure's ear to his mouth. Hatori sat watching with horror on his face as his friend was beaten by Akito.

"Fine, let's see how the little slut acts. Can the miracle worker work her magic on that monster as she has done the others?"

Inside Shigure's hatred towards Akito burned greatly. To mock Ari is one thing, but to bring Tohru into this was unacceptable. Akito released Shigure from his grip.

"Get the hell out of here," the God spoke, "Before… I kill you."

Rising off the floor, Shigure slowly walked to the door. He looked over at his companion who's head was down, ashamed to look at his friend. Walking out the door Shigure ran the rest of the way home, not even looking back at the death house. As he walked inside his house he was thankful to be living here, his sanctuary.

The School

"Finally," Kyo said as he stretched his arms over his head. Ari roose from her seat and handed the documents to the secretary.

"Thank you," she said handing Ari her uniform, "You can start tomorrow." Ari bowed to the kind lady and followed Tohru and Kyo out of the school. Just as they walked out the door a girl brushed past them, almost knocking Tohru to the ground.

"WATCH IT," yelled both Ari and Kyo.

"I'm so sorry the girl apologized and went inside the school.

"Are you hurt, Tohru," Ari asked with concern.

"Really, I'm okay," Tohru said frantically waving her hands in front of her face. The trio continued to walk back to the house, anticipating the start of the school day.

End

Sora: Oh yeah, chapter 5 is done! Yea! But who was that girl that bumped into Tohru? Hm… we'll just have to find out, now won't we? (smirks)

Ari: Oh my gosh I can't believe what Akito did to Shigure-san! DAMN YOU AKITO!

Sora: I hope I didn't make Akito too out of character… or any of the characters for that matter. If my readers have any suggestions… like what to put in future chapters or how to make the characters more like themselves I would greatly appreiate it. Oh, and until I have at least 6 reviews for this chapter, I won't be updating anytime soon. So have you're friends read this and have them review; ANYTHING for at least 6 reviews. Also, I was going to have some pairings going on. I need votes on these pairings (Ari isn't going to be paired with anyone):

Kyo X Tohru

Yuki X Tohru

Please Review AND vote!
