After breakfast everyone went about their own business, almost forgetting this morning's incident. Tohru left to get the weeks groceries, and of course Yuki and Momiji went with her. Kyo laid on the roof reviewing the past couple of days. Haru and Akira went to get the stuff she left behind. That left time and privacy for Hatori and Shigure to talk.
"So this is Kyo's sister." Shigure speculated the obvious.
"Yes." Hatori said blowing out some smoke from his cigarette.
"How did you know?" Shigure gave Hatori a questioned look.
"I know most of her life's story." Hatori said putting out his cigarette and slowly getting up. Shigure slapped him on the back. Hatori looked down in disgust, "What was that for?" He said in a monotone voice.
"You're beginning to be quite the stoker." Shigure explained.
"No I am not, I just watch the story unfold in front of my eyes." With those words he left before the conversation became too deep.

Momiji pushed the cart around while Tohru looked at the list and told Yuki what to get.
"So um Yuki-kun, what is Akira-San's animal?" She asked looking at the list and checking off an item.
"To be honest Miss Honda, I don't know." He said politely.
"What do you mean you don't know?" She looked at him with a pleadful face.
"Well I remember seeing her face at New Year's, but we had the banquet to go to. We never really got to meet any of our relatives." Yuki looked down.
"Oh I see." Tohru said. "I wonder what she likes to eat."
Momiji spoke up. "Why don't we make some soba noodles? They're so good."
"What a good idea Momiji." Tohru said writing down the ingredients for soba noodles. "Okay now down the next isle."

Uh how could I have a sister? I'm the cat, an only child. My parents would have told me if I had a sister right? This is so confusing. If she is my sister then why did she have to show up now? I hate this I can't decide what to think anymore. Kyo laid on the roof. These thoughts would not leave his head.

"So this is all you got?" Haru said looking at the bedding and coffeepot.
"Well not exactly, I knew one of these days I would be kicked out. So I asked a friend to hide the rest of my stuff. I hope you don't mind a walk because we have a ways to go." Akira said as she helped Haru out of her once home.
"I don't mind. I hope you have more clothes, because the ones you got on are Tohru's and they don't exactly fit you."
Akira looked down. She didn't even consider where the kimono came from. She was well aware it didn't fit. It stopped at her knees and the waist did not go completely around. Because she is modest she wore an extra large underneath this. Haru pulled out his wallet. "I brought some so you could get a change of clothes. You may have some at this friend of yours but I doubt you'll want to walk all over the place looking like that." He said with a smirk.
"I won't get much and I'll pay you as soon as we get to my friend's house. I can't believe how much taller I am than Tohru that is sooo crazy."
"Let's get a move on." Haru said leading her to a clothes store near by.
