A/N: This chapter is not so happy. R&R

-Reyra-

I woke up and frowned when I saw that I was alone in my room. I sat up and groaned as my muscles screamed at me. I may have healed, but I was still sore as hell. I sighed to myself before getting to my feet and walking over to my closet. I grabbed an outfit before heading for the bathroom. I shut and locked the door after me before jumping in the shower. I pulled on the school's uniform and ran a hand through my hair to dislodge any water still there before heading downstairs. I silently walked into the main room hoping to see Haru sitting on the deck like usual, but he was nowhere to be seen. I sighed as I sat down next to Yuki and laid my head down on the table. I could smell Tohru's cooking and could tell breakfast would be ready soon.

"Morning Reyra, how you feeling?"

I heard Kyo ask and I hmm'd in response.

"Well then, good morning to you too."

He said sarcastically and I just ignored him.

"Oh! Good morning Rey."

Tohru said and I mentally groaned at the fact that everyone except for the person I wanted to see kept coming in the room.

"Morning."

I mumbled as she took her seat next to Kyo.

"Morning."

Shigure sang as he slid open the door and sat down at the head of the table.

"Good morning Shigure."

Tohru said and they started up a conversation as everyone ate. I didn't lift my head at all, I just sat there feeling miserable for some reason. The door suddenly slid open and my heart stopped a moment hoping it was the person I wanted to see.

"Morning everyone!"

I heard Momiji's happy go lucky voice say and I groaned to myself.

"Look who I found outside."

He said and I didn't have to lift my head to know it was Kagura. I could sense when another Zodiac member was near, and if I already knew what animal they were then I could distinguish who it was.

"Morning."

She said and then the usual commotion started as soon as she saw Kyo.

"That's it!"

I snapped as I stood up. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me in shock.

"Is something the matter Reyra?"

Shigure asked and I growled.

"No, everything's just peachy."

I said through clenched teeth before going upstairs, grabbing my guitar, then heading for the door.

"Where are you going?"

Tohru asked and I stopped and glared at the shoji screen before me.

"School."

I said before pushing open the door and slamming it behind me.

'Who the fuck does he think he is? I know I only asked him to stay until I fell asleep, but I at least expected to see him at breakfast. Fucking asshole.'

I thought as I made my way to school.

-Yuki-

I noticed how Tohru flinched at Reyra's tone, then again when she slammed the shoji door shut.

"What's her problem?"

Kyo asked, but then Kagura got his attention so I didn't see the need to answer him.

"I see, that's quite interesting."

Shigure suddenly said and I turned to look at him confused and that only increased when I saw the perverted smile on his face.

"What's interesting?"

Tohru asked and Shigure laughed.

"Oh nothing. Nothing at all."

He said and I glared at him before going upstairs myself to get ready for school.

-Reyra-

I slid open the door to my class and everyone froze and looked at me.

"Miss Tennali! What's the meaning of you being late!"

Ms. Saki said and I cringed at the sound of her voice, it was pissing me off and I was already in an irritable mood because of a certain ox. I shouldn't even be upset and yet I am.

"Because I fucking felt like it. You got a problem with that?"

I asked as I walked down the aisle to my seat.

"There is no need for that kind of language!"

She hollered and I growled to myself. This bitch was trying to make me snap.

"I wouldn't use that kind of language if you're voice wasn't so damn annoying."

I said and the class erupted in laughter making me smirk, but the teacher wasn't so amused.

"That's it! Go to the principal's office right now young lady."

She said and I sighed as I turned to look out the window.

"Did you hear me? I said right now!"

She snapped and I turned to look at her.

"Yeah yeah."

I said before walking over to the window and pushing it up. My first class, math, was on the second floor.

"What are you doing? Get away from that-"

Ms. Saki started, but I didn't hear the rest because I jumped out the window and landed on all fours in the courtyard of the school. I heard gasps of surprise from the students in my class as I stood back up. I dusted myself off before walking calmly through the courtyard, through the gate, and into town. I needed some time to myself.

-Tohru-

I was sitting down with Kyo, Yuki, and Momiji for lunch. Haru wasn't in school today for some reason. Momiji had just been telling us about something Shigure had told him when I heard someone say Reyra's name.

"Yeah, I saw her jump too."

Someone said.

"Who was it again?"

Another voice asked.

"Some girl named Reyra, I think she might be kin to the Sohmas."

The first voice said and I froze. What had Reyra done now?

"Tohru? Is something the matter?"

I looked up when I heard Yuki say my name.

"Oh no, it's just I heard something about Reyra."

I said and he nodded in understanding.

"Oh, you must be talking about when she jumped out the window in first period. Yeah, I heard a bunch of seniors talking about it as they passed me in the hall."

Momiji said and we all looked at him.

"She jumped out a window?"

Kyo asked in shock, no doubt remembering when he had done the same thing last year.

"Wonder why she did it?"

Yuki asked and I frowned.

"She was in a bad mood this morning, maybe she just wanted to blow off some steam."

Kyo said and my frown deepened. I knew Reyra and the only time she ever did something like this was when she was hung up over some guy or extremely pissed off. She hadn't been around any guys other than Yuki and the others, but I didn't know of any reason as to why she could be pissed.

"We shouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure she can take care of herself and she'll come back when she cools off, right Tohru?"

Yuki asked and I looked up in surprise since I had zoned out.

"What? Oh yeah, she'll come back."

I said and everyone looked at me weird for a minute before going back to what they had been doing earlier.

'I hope so.'

I thought before turning back to my lunch.

-Reyra-

"Are you sure you want this bed miss?"

The store clerk asked and I nodded.

"Yes, it's perfect. Can I take it now or…?"

I asked and the woman instantly shook her head.

"Oh no, we'll deliver it. Just give us your address and we'll have it sent by the end of the day."

She said and I grudgingly wrote down Shigure's address after stressing it was important that I got it before the end of the day. With that done I left the store and headed back out. I had been walking for a while when I remembered I still needed a bed and since I had a little money on me, I didn't see the harm in buying one. I passed by several other stores, but none of them caught my attention until I passed one that had a dark, crimson colored dress with fine black lace bordering the bottom and the collar. I checked the price and smiled to myself when I saw it was in my price range.

'It's pretty, I'll give it that, but it's probably not in my size.'

I thought with a frown as I started to walk off.

"You should come in and try it on."

A voice said and I turned around to see a man in red kimono with white pants. He had silver white hair to his back and yellow eyes.

"And who are you?"

I asked warily, I could tell he was a member of the Zodiac, but I didn't recognize him from the descriptions Yuki had told me of the other members.

"Oh, excuse me. My name is Ayame Sohma, it's a pleasure to meet you…."

He said trailing off waiting for me to introduce myself.

"Reyra Tennali."

I said and he smiled at me.

"Well Reyra, I'd love it if you would try on that dress. I can see you want to."

He said and I debated it for a minute before relenting and following him inside the shop. I normally hated to shop, but when I was upset shopping and fighting seemed to be the only two ways to calm me down.

"How's it coming?"

The woman from outside who's name I think might have been Megumi asked as I pulled on the dress. I couldn't help but smile at myself as I zipped it up and spun around. It fit me perfectly. It hugged my slim waist and stopped just below my knees.

"It fits."

I called out.

"Well, come on out and let me see."

She called and I huffed before opening the curtain and stepping out. She motioned me to the middle of the room and I moved so I was standing in the middle of the room. She rotated her finger telling me to spin for her and I rolled my eyes but did as she asked.

"Oooh, you look gorgeous."

I heard the slowly becoming familiar voice of Ayame say and I looked up to see him standing beside Megumi with a smile on his face.

"Doesn't she?"

He asked her and she nodded.

"Yes."

"So what do you think of it? I designed it myself."

Ayame said and I blushed at hearing he designed the dress I'd practically just fallen in love with.

"Well?"

He prompted and I smiled at him.

"I love it."

I said and that seemed to make his day because he clasped his hands together and jumped in joy.

"Wonderful! It's yours."

He said and I looked at him in shock.

"Say what?"

I asked and he simply continued to smile at me.

"No one has shown an interest in it and you like it so much, so it's yours. You were even so nice as to model it for us."

He said and I blushed.

"And a beautiful model you are."

He said and I blushed even more. I wasn't used to getting such compliments.

"T-Thank you."

I said as I moved to go back into the changing room.

"Leaving already?"

Megumi asked and I nodded.

"Yes, I should get back."

I said and she frowned but moved so I could get dressed. I shut the screen after me and was pulling on the jacket to my school uniform when I heard the bell on the door time.

"Ah, Hatsuharu, how are you!"

I heard Ayame shout and froze. Haru was here? Why?

"I'm fine, how are you Ayame?"

I heard Haru ask in his monotone-like voice.

"Good. So what brings you here?"

Ayame asked and I listened intently for his reply.

"Well….Rin wanted me to see if her order was ready."

He said and my heart fell.

'Rin? Who's Rin?'

I wondered as I heard Ayame move around in his shop.

"I finished it just this morning. Here you are."

He said and I heard the chink of the cash register as someone made a purchase.

"So, how are things between you and Rin? Finally made up I see."

Ayame said and I stayed as quiet as I could. I don't know why I was torturing myself by listening to them, but I couldn't bring myself to let Haru know I was here.

"Good. She called me this morning apologizing. Yes, we made up and apparently we're back together again."

I heard Haru say and I felt tears sting my eyes and my heart break even more.

"Oh? Exactly how many times did you make up this time?"

Ayame asked with a laugh and I felt the tears slide down my face as I realized what he was insinuating. I couldn't listen to Haru's response, I couldn't stay there any longer. I slid open the changing curtain, being sure to keep my head down and headed for the door.

"Hey! Wait!"

I heard Megumi yelling after me, but I ignored her and ran towards the woods with the tears freely flowing down my face. It didn't make any sense as to why hearing that Haru was with another girl upset me so much, but that didn't change the fact that it did. Then to hear Ayame ask how many times they'd 'made up' made my heart shatter. I didn't stop running until I was far away from the town, far away from that shop, and far away from Haru.
