CHP 5

POV 1st Hiro

"Ally, I think I like Kisa." I said to Ally. She was always so level-headed, if anyone knew what to do it was her.

"Hiro, honestly that's a good thing. I'm glad you're going to think before you do something. Now what do you plan to do about it?" Her red/gold hair was flowing back as the wind blew. It made her look both majestic and intimidating. I thought of her zodiac again, it fit her so well, in a way sheep will never fit me.

I paused a moment before I spoke. Ally was one of the few people I wasn't mean to. When we first met, I'd try to make her do what I want and she just turned and raised her eyebrows until I mumbled "sorry." "I think I'll tell Akito. Maybe he'll give me permission-"I stopped and looked back. Ally had stopped dead and gone pale when I said Akito.

Ally was closer to Akito then the rest of the zodiac. Neither Yuki nor Kureno didn't know him as well as she did. When Ally gave you advice about Akito you listened, she was uncannily right every time. "No, if you love Kisa you won't tell Nii-sama. It would be…" I could feel her searching for the right words "almost fatal." Those words sent a chill down my spine making me forget my previous question, why do you always hesitate before the 'Nii' in Nii-sama.

POV 1st Kisa

"Hello, I'm Ales. You can call me Ally. You're Kisa right?"

"Yeah" This had taken place before Hiro had come and driven of those mean girls. I was terribly shy then. I gave a half-bow and said "pleased to meet you."

She laughed "Don't be so formal, I'm Hiro's friend. I came to give you a prophesy." At my face she laughed again. It was pleasant, her amber/gold eyes that had looked so cold and formidable warmed. They looked comforting. Her voice changed to a deeper more serious one, but her eyes still laughed. "Don't lose hope. Salvation is at hand. Your hero will come tomorrow." Next day Hiro transferred into my class. He saved me from the girls.

POV 1st Kyo

"Good morning, Shishou tells me he adopted you! Is it cool to have and adopted parent?" The girl had just finished practice, I think she was waiting for a ride. Her white gi was brown from dirt and int contrasted nicely ewith the green belt. Her hair was brown, but it had sheens in it that suggested it would be gold if clean.

I looked at her "No." I said sulkily then something made me allabrate, maybe it was that she seemed to expect more. "Being adopted means my Mom's dead."

I think she was the least sympathetic person I've ever met. Her response was to smile again and say "My dad's dead. That makes us even right?

Ave you ever meant anyone who smiles when saying that? I hadn't it startled a laugh out of me "My dad hates me, because I'm the cat." I said entering the contest of misery. Who's more depressed. Maybe it was because misery loves company, but being 'depressed; with her was the happiest I'd been in a while.

"My mom would have hated me anyways." She said brightly. A car pulled up and she got up. "I've got to go! See you soon, kyo-kun."

I never found out what happened or why, but knowing her for a few years after that, she never smiled as blissfully again.

POV 1st Haru

"Shut up, your making a fool out of yourself."

A spun around, damn, had I really just thrown that at the kid cowering over there. "Who are you to tell me what to do!" I heard myself Yell. Shit, I'd gone black. I had no control on what I'm doing when I'm black, but it gives me time to observe the people I'm shouting out.

She had stunning red/gold hair and gold eyes. It was like she was on fire or something. "You're the 'stupid ox' right?

"I'm not stupid! You must be the rat! I hate you!" She smiled, it was somewhat malicious and slightly audacious.It was actually quite infuriating.

"No, I'm not the rat. The rat is a boy, stupid ox, don't you know anything?" The way she said actually calmed me down. She was mocking my tormenters. It made me want to laugh, but I was to far gone.

"I said I'm not stupid!" I aimed a punch at her midle, but she simply stepped aside and almost let me fall onto myself. But she caught me instead.

Now she was shaking slightly as she set me upright. "I've come to solve your problems. Come meet Yuki." and not giving me a chance to refuse. She dragged me across the 'inside' to a small window where a gray-haired boy coughed faintly.

He turned to look at me and smiled weekly. I yelled at him "You're the rat aren't you!? I hate you, It's your fault that I'm slow and stupid. They're was a chuckle in the background and fading steps. I never learned the girl's name.

The girl was obviously the same as the on in my … was it a memory?

POV 1st Momiji

"Are you knew to the school?' I asked failing to conceal my general happiness.

"No, I'm just looking for my friend. He'll be here soon." She stopped and gold eye looked me over. "You're the rabbit right?"

"Huh?" Oh.. She meant in the zodiac. "Yeah, how do you know?

She snorted. It wasn't a very lady-like laugh but it made me want to giggle uncontrollably. "How many other Momiji's do you know?" She asked sarcastically. But she turned to me as I began to hum softly. "Words?" she said.

"Huh?" I said again. Words? What was she talking about.

She clarified "to your song, it sounds nice. Do you have words?"

"Actually no." I said, still smiling I wondered who her friend was, that she should just stand around waiting for him or her. Maybe for a ride home? I was going to walk after talking to her, but when she knew I was the rabbit curiosity got the better of me.

She smiled warmly, "OK lets make some up!" Then she began to sing. I was really surprised. I mean, Kureno (the bird) was a good singer, abrilliant singer by noraml standers, though not the best. But this girl was better, she was brilliant! I would never hear my song again without hearing her singing it. I was elated!

Momiji is the one

Hopping gaily through the sun

All the little animal

Call to the joyful bun!

Koi and Salmon

Seem to neigh

Like a rabbit on

Easter day!

She finished and said "Well, them saying to neigh didn't make much sense, but I kinda like it."

"I love it! But let's use Herring roe instead of salmon, it both fits better and tastes better." She smiled. "Ad can we include mountains. She cocked her head in a silent "why" I flushed lightly and rushed on "because I always think of mountains when I sing it."

She smiled "I thought of sunset ,Okay let's start with 'sunset on the mountain' and after that… Let's mess the order around, they'll call to you, thengreet you."

She sang again.

Sunset on the mountain,

Come out, Come out Momiji.

Frogs and lizards,

Say hello.

"I love it!" I said happily. "Okay Now the nest part you said 'koi and salmon seem to neigh like a rabbit on Easter day..' Let's take out the rabbit so
I can sing it to people who aren't 'in' on the curse."

"Ok, then what if it was a little two line part? ''koi and the herring roe…' something about horse…"

"Let's keep it simple, like 'looks like a horse'."

She laughed gaily. "Okay I like it, then we go back to the sunset part."

"Yu! Let's sing."

Well we sang she pulled out a sheet of paper and wrote down what we sang. After we finished she gave me the sheet of paper, and got into a black limousine that just pulled up I never saw the drivers face.

Sunset on the mountain,

Come out, Come out Momiji.

Frogs and lizards,

Say hello.

Koi and the herring roe,

Looks like a horse.

Sunset on the mountain,

Come out Come out Momiji.

Frogs and lizards,

Say hello.

ByAlly Loki and Momiji Sohma.

I still have its somewhere, and I can't read her signature. I sometimes think I see her around the corner, I never talked to that girl again.

POV 1st Shigure

"Gure-nii,"

A small gold/red haired girl up to me. "yes, Ally-chan." She looked terribly grave for a young girl. She was still in elementary school, what was she sad for?

"Gure-nii! Mayu-sensei is sad?

"Sensei?"

She scowled "Yes gure-nii, she's a teacher! But she's lonely, make it better."

Though it was cute it was a rather childish remark. "She's not just lonely, she's harboring something in her heart." The girl, Ally ,cocked her head in a silent inquiry. "She's in love." Ally-chan's eyes widened 'with who' she mouthed not wanting to break the quiet. I wasn't that caring, "With-Hatori."

Now she did look shocked "But, Oba-nii dating Kana."

"That's why she's holding inside, I will go make her feel better." I swept out of the room and wondered to myself why Hatori was Oba-nii (literally father/ older brother) and I was only -nii. Jealous, I asked myself and shook my head and headed over to talk to Mayu.

POV 1st Yuki

"Can I talk to him for a minute Nee-sama," said a female voice outside my door. I couldn't here the rest but I assumed this 'Nee-sama' gave permission to enter as the door slid open.

"Hello," said a girl as she shut the door and walked over to me. She seemed so bright… I shut my eyes. She seemed to take a tep bak when my eyes shut "sorry," she muttered almost to quietly to hear.

She sat down on the floor and watched me. "I can't help much."" I opened my eyes and turned to her slightly. Her hands where held out in a sorta shrug. "I've helped the others, in ways more than even they know, but I can't help you. I'm sorry."

I must have looked puzzled, because she went on more rapidly as if a little embarrassed or flustered "I'm Ally Loki, I'm sorry I can't help so I promise I'll send you people who can. Now might I suggest getting up?" IO did and she put Kyo's hat on my head and said, "Good, now go and don't come back until you've done good in someone else's life."

I did, later I realized it was Tohru who I'd saved. But Ally always kept her promise. She would show up in my room randomly, and just talk until IO felt better and she was the one who led Haru to my window. However, no matter how fast friend we became she never would tell me who 'nee-sama' was.
