Chapter Eight: Missing

Losan road her bike to work as always, but on her way there she took a detour to the police station. Upon walking in the lady at the front desk looked up briefly to see who had entered and than looked back down at her paper work.

"I'm sorry Miss, but we still haven't had any work on them. I swear that we'll inform you the moment we do." the lady said, never looking up.

"Oh," Losan sounded as if she had just lost her dog. "I see."

As Losan turned to leave the station, the lady looked up again and spoke, "Miss."

The scorpion turned quickly with anticipation.

"Maybe, you should just let them go, it's been two years since they went missing. For your sake, let them go."

"I can't, they're my friends, my family. Things don't seem right without Anishi and Shigure around.

The lady simply nodded and went on with her work as Losan left and went to her office building where she would work on Mogeta

After work that day she went home, where Mayumi was waiting for her. Ever day since they found out that Shigure and Anishi were gone, they had gone down to Shigure's house to keep an eye on it and keep things well kept. This time, as they walked to the door they noticed it was opened just slightly. The two looked at each other and Mayumi hurried to go upstairs, as Losan check the downstairs.

Halfway up the stairs Mayumi heard Losan scream loudly. Mayumi was quick to turn around and jump down most of the stairs grimacing in pain at the shock that hit her knees, but dealt with it and hurried in the direction of the kitchen, where she heard Losan's scream come from.

She stepped into the kitchen and saw Losan with her back against a wall, glued their in fear. Mayumi fallowed her gave and her eyes widened. In the middle of the kitchen a small male lion cub sat eating a rice ball that came from a plate of eleven others sitting on a the kitchen counter.

"Shin! There you are. You had me worried sick!"

The voice came from behind Mayumi. She slowly turned her eyes even wider now. There, standing behind her with her black hair and eyes was the Archer of the astrological zodiac.

"Oh my word…" Mayumi breathed quietly.

Losan peaked around the corner to see what made May so shocked and her eyes widened too, just like her smile.

"Anishi!" She ran to her friend, pushing Mayumi out of the way. Just as she reached her friend her legs failed her and she fell toward Anishi.

Anishi caught her as Losan wrapped her arms tightly around her friends torso and gently cried into her chest.

"Losan, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Anishi was worried as she gently hugged her friend.

"I went there everyday, hoping they had found you. I… I almost gave up hope. I was worried you were dead. I was worried you were hurt somewhere with no one around to help! I'm so happy you're alright, Anishi!" She wept fiercely into her friends chest, unable to hold back anymore. She let out all the tears she had held in for the past two years.

"I'm sorry, Losan. I didn't mean to."

"Anishi," Mayumi's voice was quiet, and her face was sheet white.

Anishi looked up at her friend.

"Who's Shin?"

Anishi looked down for a moment, not answering. She looked at Losan who had ended up falling asleep from the combination of crying so much and her lack of sleep. " I should get Losan into bed. It appears she needs it."

Compared to Anishi, Losan had always been fairly small, but Anishi would swear she seemed lighter now as she carried her upstairs into bed.

As she turned from the room to go back downstairs Mayumi was at the door to the room. "Who is he, Anishi?"

"He…He's my son, May. He's my son."

"I sure hope you mean you adopted a lion cub and you are calling him your son for the hell of it!"

"No, May. I mean me and Shigure conceived him and nine months later I gave birth to him."

"Dammit, Anishi! What they hell were you thinking! What the hell ever runs through that head of yours! I should just do it to all three of them! If I had a brain in my skull I would have done it when this whole mess began!" With that Mayumi turned and left the room. She quickly and angrily walked down the steps to the downstairs and than headed to the front door and to her car. She left without another word.

"Mayumi, no! don't do it! Not after all this time!" Anishi fallowed her, or tried. Tears ran down her eyes as she did, so she couldn't see where she was walking well and ended up tripping, unable to stop Mayumi from leaving.

No more than ten minutes passed and Shigure came through the front door.

"Anishi! Are you alright?"

Anishi rubbed the tears from her eyes and forced a smile. "I'm fine. Just had a little fight with Mayumi."

"I see. So that's why she drove off so fast. What of the monster?"

"Losan?"

"Yeah, that one."

"She's upstairs. She broke down when she saw me. I guess she really missed me."

"I see. Well, Hatori said he'll be here in a half hour. He just had a patient he needed to see before he could get away to see what's wrong with Shin. Speaking of who, where is he?"

"Hewwo Dada," A little boy, about two or one and a half came walking int oward them.

Anishi chuckled lightly. "Let's get you dressed little Leo." She stood and picked up the little boy as she headed upstairs where she had put her suitcase in seizure's room and found a good pair of clothes for her son. As she dressed him she heard the phone ring downstairs, but it was quickly answered as she heard Shigure's voice say, "Shigure Sohma speaking, how can I help you?"

A moment later Shigure's voice became solemn, "You're sure? You did? Alright. I'll be there soon. I'll bring Anishi, Losan and my son with me."

Anishi had come down stairs by now and looked at Shigure who closed his eyes as his listened to the person on the other end.

"Sohma hospital right? Alright. We'll be there soon."
