I haven't the faintest idea what to write next, so here goes nothing. This is my eighth chapter (I'm so happy) and I'm actually getting reviews. Thank you again people who reviewed, you know who you are! Those who haven't I take anonymous reviews so is it so much effort to type in 'Good job'? Anywho, I'm sure you're sick of me ranting, so here's chapter 8!!!!!
POV 3rd Kagura
Kagura was still in shock after her conversation with Ritsu. Ales was Akito's sister? That was so...wrong! Let's see what else Detective Kagura Private Eye can find out. Now, she was going to call her friend's Idol. She picked up the receiver, braced herself before she dialed the number.
"Hello, Ayame?"
"It is I, the magnificent Ayame, older brother of Yuki." Came the answer "Who is it who is privileged to address me now?"
"It's Kagura. Look Aya, I just have one question to ask."
"I will stop you there. I already know what it will be. Doubtless, you have found out from shii-chan that I'm having a sale at my shop tomorrow. Well it will be from 1:00 - 5:00, see I'm physic.
Kagura sighed inwardly. "No, actually I had wanted to know if the name Ales Loki reminded you of anything or anyone. Does it?"
The line went quiet. For a moment, Kagura thought the call had been dropped, and almost hung up to call again, when the answer came. "Nope, nothing. It reminds me of nothing at all. Good night Kagura."
"Wait, Aya?" Kagura said hurridly into the phone. Nothing at all? The dial tone interrupted her, Ayame had already hung up. That's strange, she thought. Detective Kagura Private Eye made a note on what he had said and prepared to call the next home, Kureno.
POV 3rd person Ayame
When Kagura had called, Ayame had been in a great mood. He had received and e-mail form Shifure saying he was coming to the sale. Kagura had ended his joy. He had, of course, had a flash back when he heard Ales's name.
An amber-haired girl of fourteen tears was curled up in his lap. Though he seemed to always remember her smiling or laughing, now tears streaked down her cheeks and her whole body shook as she sobbed. I lifted a hand to dry her eyes and spoke, "Ally, what's the matter?"
This made her cry all the harder. Taking me into a bear-hug, she whimpered as if she was still nine, "Aya-nii, don't forget me. Promise you won't forget me." I blinked once, why would I forget her.
"Of course I won't," I said, "You're like a little sister to me. I would never forget the fourth member of the Mabadachi trio."
Ally hugged me tighter. "Yes you will" she whispered.
Hatori appeared at the door. His left eye was still in bandages from the incident with Kana. "Ally," He spoke her name more gently than he had said anything else in days. "You wanted to see all your friends, I know, but Akito was watching them. I could only sneak in Rin. Would you like to see her?"
Ally nodded grimly. She wiped a her eyes and stood. Then, she abruptly turned to me, and kissed me on the cheek. "Aya-nii, Tell Gure-nii this too, I love you both. Don't tell Rit-chan what will happen, he'll blame himself, and Kagura would tell him, so don't tell her either. Do me one more favor, take care of Yuki." With that she squared her shoulders and walked out the door.
When Kagura called, Ayame could only think of Ally's words, Don't tell Kagura. If that was what Ally wanted, Ayame thought, I could at least do that for her. And if I told no one I remembered, then I wouldn't have to forget again. Ayame Sohma returned to his room to think about his new-found knowledge.
POV 3rd Ales
Ally knew she was asleep. She was dreaming about the past, or would one say nightmare-ing. She watched as her past-self peered out the second story window, just as she had then. Her dream-self wasn't able to see but she knew she saw Tori-oba-nii propose to Kana. She also knew that Kana agreed. She saw her past-self clap her hands twice, beaming in a childish expression of joy. She know knew what she hadn't then. First Tori-oba-nii would have to get Nee-sama's permission.
Ally followed her past-self as she ran to her Nee-sama's room. It was the day after the proposal, and Ally's past-self had heard screams coming from Nee-sama's room. This can't be good, she had thought and took off. Ally's dream-self ran after her. Ally threw open the door in time to see Gure-nii trip, and Nee-sama grab a nearby vase. Tori-Oba-nii was on the floor with one hand over his left eye, it had already been taken out. This isn't right, Ally thought as Nee-sama threw the china vase. Without a second thought Ally's past-self threw herself in front of Tori-oba-nii, blocking the blow that had been meant for him. Ally's dream-self cringed as her past-self's back was covered in shards of broken china. The scars from the vase were still on her back today. Weakened by her injuries Ally's past-self had changed into her zodiac animal. Nee-sama was furious, not only had Ally interfered, but she had burned down her Nee-sama's rooms.
Tadah! There's chapter 8. I really hope you liked it. There was a major hint to Ally's zodiac here. If your confused Ally is having a dream and she is walking in the past. So she watches herself so things that she once did. Okay? I'm thinking about revealing Ally's zodiac nest chapter, which means if you want to read the next chapter guess! If yuo won't at lest review. - Kagaya-hime
