The Main House Meeting
We reached the main house.
"Thank you for walking me here. It was fun" I said to him. Momiji gave me a peck on the cheek.
"Call me when you get home and tell me what happened. Tell me everything. Well, I'll leave you here for now. Auf Wiedersehen!" He said to me. He turned around and skipped off. I watched him skip around the corner singing to himself.
I turned to face the front door. Before I knocked someone, opened it. Shigure stood there smiling at me.
"You're missing all the fun! Come in" He said while grabbing my arm. He dragged me in. Before I knew it, I was in Hatori's office. Hatori was sitting at the table drinking coffee. The coffee smelled really good but I'm not much of a coffee person.
"Akito has been waiting for you" Hatori said. I nodded. Akito is scared of me for some reason. I don't know why. I left the house and went toward Akito's room.
His room was separate from the house. The main house is huge. I thought about the past when I first came to the main house.
-Flashback-
Shishou was holding my hand. He smiled at me. I was only 5 years old. Akito was 7 years old.
Shishou's hair was really long. He had it pulled back. I loved playing with his hair. It was fun.
Shishou bends down. His hair fell to the side of his face. I looked up at him.
"You're going to meet Akito. He's a head of the Sohma family. He's the one who let you join the family" Shishou said in a cheerful tone. But in his cheerful tone was fear. I knew he was scared that Akito would say hurtful things to me.
I looked at the ground shyly. He stood up and opened the door. I looked up at Akito. Akito stared at me like an alien.
Shishou pushed me inside.
"Akito, This is Sara. She's part of the Persian Zodic. She is the year of the cat" Shishou explained to him. I bowed.
"Nice to meet you" I said in a high pitched, soft voice. I was very shy. I usually ran away or hide every time I meet someone. Akito came toward me.
My eyes widen with worry. Then he expanded his arms and put them around me.
"You don't have to bow. You're family. But you'll never join my Zodic. Shishou" Akito said turning to look up at him. Shishou looked down at him. "Leave me alone with Sara. We need to talk."
I looked up at Shishou. I tried to send him a message saying don't leave but Shishou left. He closed the door behind me. I turned to face Akito. Akito beamed at me. His smile looked cold. I started to shiver. I didn't if it's from the cold or I'm scared.
"So" Akito said while trying to break the silence. "Tell me about the Persian Zodic."
"Well, right now I know that there are more people who are part of the Zodic out there. We have the same animals as you except we don't have the year of the Rabbit. We have the year of the cat. We all of something special we could do. Everyone in the Persian Zodic has there own power. Like I can do stuff with my mind. But I'm Wiccan. I do good stuff to help people and the earth. I don't like people who harm people and the earth.
"If I had 3 wishes, one would be to protect my friends. Second one would be to be able to save the earth and third would be to make my friends happy.
"Anyway, the one thing we all can do is change into the whatever year we are. Like I can change into a cat" I explained to him. Akito smirked then started to frown.
I looked into his dark brown almost black eyes. His eyes were filled with fear. He looked away. We stood silent for the rest of my visit.
-End of Flashback-
I look up at the door. I got closer and knocked on the door.
"Come in" Akito said. I opened the door and walked. He laid on the ground staring at the ceiling. Akito turned over to his side and stared up at me.
His eyes looked empty. His hair was black but in a mess. He wore a long dark brown robe. Akito stood up to give me a hug.
"How are you Akito?" I asked him.
"Sick as always. I hate this weather" Akito says while opening the window. He looked out.
"I think it's beautiful. You should come to the forest with me sometime or the beach. It would be fun. You're always sick because you never get enough sunlight" I said to him. Akito whips around to face me. He was going to say something but then decided to drop the subject.
"How's everything with you?" he asked. Usually he was mean and hurtful to the other Zodic but doesn't do anything to me.
"I'm okay. I have a question. How come you're scared of me?" I asked him. He stares at me with disbelief. "Do you not love me?" A grin showed upon his face. He walked toward with a weird look I couldn't explain.
He gently put his hand on my cheek and stroke my check. I felt strange.
"Of course I love you. I'm not scared of you. Why do you think that?" he questioned me. I looked away. He raised my chin and forced me to look into his cruel eyes.
"Just wondering" I answered. "So Shigure told me you wanted to talk to me about what happened today?" I asked him. This day felt like it would take forever to end. It was getting dark outside.
"We already took care of that. Don't worry about it. Tell me about this Tohru girl that is living in your room" Akito asked. I looked away then back at him.
"She's really nice. I like her" I told him.
"Good. You're allowed to go" Akito said to me. I bowed then left the room. I knocked on Hatori's door. He opened it.
"I'll give you a ride home. Shigure already left" Hatori told me.
"Thank you" I said smiling. Hatori grinned back then turned around to grab his keys. After he got his keys then he walked in front of me. I shut the door and followed him.
I looked at his car. It was a red Honda model 1990. I got into the car.
"Nice car" I commented.
"Thanks. So anything new?" Hatori said trying to make a conversation.
"Not really. There's going to be a dance. It's going to be really fun" I said. I explained about the dance to him.
Before I knew it, we were in front of Shigure's house. I got out and thanked Hatori for the ride. I closed the door and headed up to the front door. When I opened the door, something flew by leaving a huge gust of wind hitting me. The wind threw me off my feet. I landed on the ground.
I got back up my feet. Someone grabbed me and used me as a shield.
"Sara! HELP ME!" Kyo shouted. The next thing I knew I got pushed into the wall.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I screamed. Then I saw Kagura. I sighed.
Great, it's not like this house was crazy and loud enough. I ran into the kitchen where Tohru was making something.
"What are you making?" I asked her. She was putting something in the oven.
"I wanted to try a new recipe. I like your cookbooks. You cook?" Tohru asked me in a cheerful voice.
"I cook desserts. Sadly it takes me longer to make something then most people" I told her.
"STOP!" I heard Shigure yell. "YOU'RE BREAKING MY HOUSE!" I chuckled. I went out to the living room to see if Kyo was all right.
Kagura was hugging him now and petting him. Kyo looked dead like a zombie but I knew he was a live.
"Are you okay Kyo?" I asked him. He didn't answer. Kagura let go of him. Kyo scooted away from her.
"Sorry about that. It just that he left for so long. But now we're reunited" Kagura said in a charming away. Kyo crossed his arms and looked away.
"Why don't you stay here for a night" Shigure suggested. Kyo jumped 3 feet in the air.
"WHAT?!" Kyo shouted. Kyo's face turned red.
"Now, now Kyo. You need to be happier. Your lover is spending the night. But" Shigure looks at Kagura. "You have to stay in your room."
"You can sleep my room" I told Kagura. Kagura picked up my cat Snoopy. "I can sleep in Kyo's room."
"That's okay" Kagura said.
"Are you sure?" I asked her. She nodded and grinned.
Tohru came in with plates.
"The cake is going to be ready soon. Is everything alright?" Tohru asked everyone.
"We're fine" Yuki said. Tohru went back into the kitchen. I got up.
"Kagura, you're welcome to borrow my pjs" I said. Kagura stood up. Snoopy was wrapped in her arms.
I opened my closet. One side of the closet is Tohru's and the other side is mine. I pulled out a pink panther pajama outfit.
"That's cute" Kagura said. I handed it to her and smiled.
"Here you can borrow this" I told her. I looked around for my pink short shorts and an Evanescence T-shirt that was XL. The T-shirt is huge on me. I'm only a size small/medium. I closed my closet and turned to stare at Kyo.
"So" Kagura said trying to make a conversation.
"So what do you like about my brother? I always wondered" I asked her. Kagura's face lit up.
" I love everything about him" Kagura said with enthusiasm. I looked into her brown eyes. Her dark brown hair was half way up. She took down her hair. Her hair went a little bit past her shoulders.
Kyo came into my room. Kagura jumped up. Before I knew, Kagura and Kyo were running around the house.
"STOP!" I heard Shigure scream. "YOUR BREAKING THE HOUSE!" I couldn't help but laugh.
I left my room and headed to the living room. Everything went quiet. When I got into the living room I saw Kyo half dead. Kagura was struggling him in a hug.
"So Kyo" I said. "What were you going to tell me" I asked him.
"One of your friends is on the phone" Kyo said softly to me. Kagura let go of him.
I went into the hall and saw the phone off the jack. I picked it up.
"Ello?" I asked over the phone.
"Hey Sara, It's meeeeeee!" Patty yelled over the phone.
"Ello luv. What's up?" I asked her.
"I gave Zad your phone number and mine too" Patty said. I laughed.
"Why did you give him mine?" I asked her.
"Because he asked. But I also gave him mine just for fun. He's hella hot. I want him" Patty joked around.
"You can have him."
"I can? Really? YAY!" Patty got really excited. I heard my cell phone go off in my room.
"Patty, I got to go. Sorry. I'll see you . . . " I stopped for a second to think. "Today is Friday so Monday!" We hung up. I ran over to my room and picked up my phone.
"Ello?" I said to them.
"Hey" A guy said on the other side. He had a low voice. My eyes widen.
"Who's this?" I asked him.
"Guess" The guy said.
