A/N: Alright here's the next chapter. School starts next week so chapters will probably be posted on weekends, but keep in mind i have three stories to keep up, and it depends on what mood I'm in. So I suggest that you read my others so you can at least read whatever chapter I happen to post. Reviews make my day and make me want to keep writing this.

When Teresa woke up it was an hour and half later. She pried herself out of Akito's arms and made her way to the door. When she got to her room Teresa collapsed on the floor and lay there for a moment. She felt so alone, and helpless, like nothing she did would make any of this better. She scrambled off the floor and into the shower.

Teresa slipped out and put on some clothes before starting her homework. More and more she found her thoughts slipping to Kisa. Why wasn't she speaking? What was going on?

When Teresa turned off her light for bed the darkness scared her. She felt herself shivering, Teresa clutched the blanket to her body and her eyes flew around the room. I'm all alone, I'm always alone. No matter who I'm with I'm always alone. I'm alone when I'm with Akito, I'm alone when I'm here, but I'm not alone when I'm with Haru, or Yuki, or Kyo. A single tear slipped out of her eye at that thought, I won't be alone any more, I can't, I can't do it anymore!

Teresa got out of bed and pulled on her black cloak and sandals. She ran blindly through the main house and found herself in front of Hatori's. Teresa knocked on the door and a few seconds later Hatori stood in the doorway, "Teresa," he caught the girl as she threw herself to him.

"I can't do it anymore Hatori, I can't stay alone anymore," she sobbed.

"Alright, you won't have to, come on," Hatori led her to a spare bedroom he had and within minutes she was asleep. You would never notice just by looking at her that she was hurting so much; I guess she finally had enough. Hatori left the room and went into his office; he would talk to Akito tomorrow.

The next morning Hatori left sleeping Teresa and went to Akito's.

"Hatori what are you doing here? We didn't have anything scheduled," Akito said when he came.

"No we didn't. I wanted to talk to you about Teresa. She came to me last night as asked to stay with me, Akito I think that maybe we should have Teresa stay with Shigure."

"Hmm, I see what you mean. I suppose that will be allowed, but don't think this will get her out of seeing me Hatori, far from it. Leave," Akito said with a threatening tone.

"Of course," Hatori nodded and left going back to his office. When he returned he saw Teresa in the kitchen making something.

"Oh Hatori, I hope you don't mind, I made something for you to," she gestured to the bowl of noodles on the table.

"Of course not, I just didn't know you could cook. I went to see Akito, and he has agreed to let you stay at Shigure's, assuming you want to of course,"

"Thanks Hatori," Teresa hugged him, "I'll go pack."

Hatori smiled and watched her leave.

I can't believe it, I'm not staying here, Teresa smiled lightly before running off to her room and packing her things.

After school, Hatori had offered to drive her to Shigure's but Teresa declined and decided to walk instead. Everything was looking so wonderful, until she remembered that Tohru was staying with them. Hmm, I guess I'll have to live with it, literally.

Teresa walked up to the front door and knocked, Tohru opened the door cheerfully. "Teresa what are you doing here?"

Teresa sighed, "Akito wanted me to stay here, Shigure's here is he?"

Tohru nodded, "Come on in," Teresa stepped inside and Shigure poked his head from behind the wall.

"Tohru, sweet, who's here?" he cowered when he saw the raven standing there.

"Pervert. Here," she shoved a note to Shigure.

"So Akito wants you to stay here does he? Well we don't have any extra rooms so I guess you'll have to share with Tohru. I'll help you unpack if you'd like?" he asked hopefully.

"Shigure, if you come in I'll see to it that you end up on the ground!" Teresa called from the stairs as Tohru was leading her upstairs.

"Well here it is," Tohru opened the door to reveal a room with a huge bed with pink bedspread. "I know we'll have lots of fun!"

Teresa's eye twitched first I have to share a room with her, and now it's pink! I suppose it's better than the main house, but that's looking better every minute. "Yeah totally," Teresa tossed her bag on the floor and began placing her things in the drawers Tohru had just cleared out for her.

"And here's your half of the closet," Tohru opened the door to reveal an empty half of the closet, how does she move everything so fast?

"Thanks Tohru," Teresa hung up her shirts and one or two school skirts.

"Well I'm going to make dinner now," Tohru said turning to leave.

"Tohru, do you mind if I put my computer under the bed?"

"No go ahead," Tohru smiled then left. Teresa slipped her laptop under the bed and surveyed the room. Her bags were against the wall and contained the books Teresa hadn't put up yet, that was until she saw a nearly empty bookshelf. Perfect.

Meanwhile Tohru was cooking happily in the kitchen.

"You damn rat, shut up about it!" Kyo yelled.

"Kyo, I still don't see what's so hard about a simple project," Yuki calmly stated.

"Because I have to work with you on it!"

"Kyo, stop being so loud."

"Kyo, Yuki, you came home. Did you get everything?" Tohru asked.

"Yeah," Kyo thrust the shopping bags at Tohru.

"Thanks," Tohru smiled and went back into the kitchen.

"Stupid cat shut up about it," Yuki sighed.

"I had to do everything-"

Kyo was cut off by Teresa who had just come downstairs, "Kyo shut up, I can hear you all the way upstairs."

"Teresa what are you doing here?" Yuki asked.

"Akito wanted me over here," Teresa walked over to the door and looked out.

"I suppose that's good then," Kyo said.

"Yeah, it's better than staying at the main house."

After dinner the five of them were in the room talking.

"Teresa?"

"Yes Tohru?"

Tohru rubbed the back of her head, "I, uh, was wondering what your zodiac form looked like, but I guess you can't show me because there aren't any boys around. And you don't have to show me I was just curious, and-" Tohru started rambling.

"Tohru, I can show you anyway," Teresa stood up and went outside.

"How?"

"Because I can make myself transform without anything else," Teresa got on her knee and suddenly large raven wings appeared wrapping themselves around her.

"There so pretty!" Tohru said. Yuki, Kyo and Shigure, raised an eyebrow at this, I wouldn't call raven wings pretty. They thought.

Teresa chuckled lightly and stood up, the raven wings extending, "I suppose they are," she bent down a little and suddenly flew straight up. The wind whipped around her and Teresa sighed, this was the one good part about the zodiac curse, her wings. After she finished circling the house, Teresa stopped above where the others were she suddenly stopped her wings and plummeted to the ground. She landed on her knee and the wings moved around her form before they disintegrated into raven feathers blown away by a wind which also caused Teresa's hair to blow around although no one else felt it.

Teresa raised her head and smirked before standing up, "Very pretty indeed," she walked back into the house and up the stairs where she fell onto the bed to sleep, that had used her energy up.
