I realized that half the time Ales called Hatori Ri-nii, and the other half, she calls him Tori-oba-nii. That's because when she was little, she thought of him as an infallible father figure. But when she got older, she thought of him as a friend and a brother, rather than a father. Make sense? Sorry, I only just realized that I hadn't explained that yet. :3
POV 3rd
By the time Yuki arrived home, Ales was asleep. She had curled up in the wad of blankets that she had been sleeping in for the last few days. Though he had a lot of questions to ask, Yuki let her sleep. When Haru left he had said, "What an Anti-climatic evening." Yuki had agreed. Eventually, morning came. Ally still didn't wake up. Finally, at 12:30 she stumbled down stairs in a blue t-shirt and rumpled jeans.
POV 1st Shigure
I was on a rescue mission. Yuki was going to pounce Ales as soon as she was fully awake, I had to distract them. "Guess What! We have to go see Aya!"
"Hmm..." said Ales, still not awake, "Why are we going to see Aya?" She asked.
"Well," I said, pleased to get a response, "Aya's having a sale, so I promised we'd go. And I thought it would be fun if everyone else went too. So let's go.
"Wha... No! I don't want to go to his store!" said Kyo.
Tohru, however, beamed. "Let's go Kyo! It will be fun."
Yuki sighed, "If you think so Honda-san, let's go."
Mission accomplished. Now, it was 12:45. We had better get to Aya's shop soon, and I didn't have a drivers license. "Well, we had better get walking or we'll be late. Let's go!" I marched out the door, and was glad to hear them follow me.
POV 3rd Ayame
Shigure was coming! Shigure was coming! I hummed a little. "Mine! Shigure is coming!"
"Yes, Boss." Mine said happily.
"It's 1:00! Let's open the store! People will be arriving any moment. I wonder who will come?"
POV 1st Kagura
I knocked three times on the door. "Hello?" I called into Hatori's room., still no answer.
Suddenly, there was a shadow behind me. I turned around, there he was. "Welcome Kagura. Come in, this will take a while.
"Okay!" I said. I was going to learn about Ales! I sat down. "I'm comfortable. Why don't you begin?"
He did, "Ales is Ren's second daughter. She was raised by Shigure, Aya, and me. We tried to take care of her, but she found that the most fun thing to do, was to visit the other members of the zodiac, and try to solve their problems. It was her hobby. Ales was the one who showed you to Kyo." He smiled wryly "Not all of her ways of helping worked out, but how would you feel if you'd never met Kyo? She was the one who brought that. You, she, and Ritsu were fast friends. She also was close with Rin, and Yuki. Rin used to sit in Yuki's room and look-out so Haru wouldn't be in trouble. She was doing that or Haru, but who first convinced her to go meet Yuki? Ales. She also would radomly show up and pick Hiro up at his school.
"Ales was always like that. Somedays, she was just there. But, one day, she showed up where she shouldn't have dared. Ales had over heard Akito yelling, and ran to see what was wrong. You know the story of what happened between me and Kana, yes? Good, well my right eye had been injured when she threw open the door. Akito was about to throw another pot at me. Ales dove in front of me. Has anyone told you her zodiac?" asked Hatori. Kagura's hands had curled into fist, white with excitement. She shook her head, no one had. This was it!
"Ales Loki is the Phoenix. When the shards collided with her back, she transformed and immediately fell unconscious. When she isn't conscious she can't control what she's burning, so she'll burn anything she touches. Akito's rooms burnt down. After a while, I released Kana from the memories that haunted her. Then Akito took her revenge. Everyone and Anyone who knew Ales was eased, except for three people. the first was Rin, Akito didn't know that Ales and Rin were friends, so Rin remembered her. However they weren't able to meet, except for one final goodbye. The second who remembered was Kureno. He didn't know Ales personally, just knew her as Akito's sister. So, Akito decided to let him remember. And the last was myself. I can't erase my own memories, and so I still remember her clearly as day."
Hatori sighed, "If you want to know more, ask Ales or Rin. That's all I know about her childhood. After I erased her frineds memories. She lived with Akito for a year, then she lived by herself for a year. Finally, Akito offered a compromise of sorts. Ally could go live with her old friend Yuki, but only if they wouldn't remember, and if she would be a spy for Akito. Ally agreed, but yesterday she was freed from her promise. Now she should be allowed to live with Shigure normally. The end"
Hatori stood up, but Kagura grabbed his arm. "One more thing. Aya is having a sale today from 1:00 to 5:00. He would be happy."
Hatori smiled. "Okay, I'll go." The two of them turned to walk out the door. Now they to were going to Aya's store.
Ta dah! I think the next chapter will end this, but it might take two more. I'm losing readers T-T, so i want to encourage people to read my other stor and review both. Very truly, Kagaya-Mitsukai
