Bunny pajamas? Check. Stuffed bunny plush? Check. Teeth? Brushed. Bed? Ready for sleeping. The 7 year old climbed into his bed, and waited. His mama would be in any minute. He would ask her now. He had to know why she was so angry.
He looked up as his door opened wider. His mama walked quietly into the room. "Hi, Mama.." "Hello, Momiji.." She sat down on the edge of the bed. Momiji gulped. How would she react to his question?
"Mama..? Why are you always so angry...?" He looked down at his blanket, running his fingers along the hem. After a minute, he glanced up at the woman. She was looking at him, her expression unreadable. "I... I'm not angry..." she stuttered. "But, Mama... I heard you in the kitchen... You said you hated yourself...Why?" Her eyes widened. Her son had heard her mutterings. Why!? Why had he been close enough to hear her? She didn't want him to suffer for her issues.
"I see.. sigh... Don't worry about it Momiji. It has nothing to do with you..." "But, Mama... It's not my fault, right? I didn't make you angry...right?" The little boy looked worried. "No, it's not you. Now, go to sleep. You have school tomorrow..." He looked comforted at this, and snuggled deeper into his covers.
The woman stood, and leaned down to kiss his forehead. As she walked out of the room, she glanced back. The boy was holding his toy, already sound asleep. She smiled. She had to get over her problems. She couldn't let her son suffer for her sake. She simply couldn't...
(Kay, lil continuation of the last chap. Now for Momiji, age 8)
Momiji looked nervously at the door in front of him. His cousin, Hatsuharu, bumped into him. "Hey, what's your deal? Open the door already!" the cow said, rather muffled, his face still against Momiji's bookbag. Gulping, Momiji reached for the door handle. Today was their first day of second grade. In a different school. For some random reason, Akito had decided she wanted them in a school closer to the main house. It was funny how someone only a year older then him had so much control over EVERYONE. Even the older people, like Rin, and even Shigure and Hatori.
As the cousins walked into the classroom, all the other children looked up at them. Stuttering nervously, Momiji walked up to the teacher, handing her a note explaining who they were. "Ah, Momiji and Hatsuharu.. Yes, I ran into your older cousin, Kyo, earlier. Interesting boy..." The teacher rambled on and on about Kyo. Momiji and Haru rolled their eyes. Everyone was interested in Kyo, Sohma family or not. Somehow, people were just drawn to him because of his orange hair, or his incredibly sharp temper.
Noticing the boys looked uncomfortable, the teacher clapped her hands. "Class, this is Momiji Sohma, and Hatsuharu Sohma." "Hello, Momiji. Hello, Hatsuharu." the children responded robotically. Momiji frowned. He missed their old school. There, the people were much nicer, and didn't act like they were trained. Even Haru was beginning to look a bit nervous. They stepped closer to each other, insecure.
Following the teacher, they sat down in their seats. Luckily, they were next to each other. On either side, the other students were chattering loudly. The cousins glanced at each other. It was obvious they weren't going to fit in for a while...
