ImageDanger Level: Practically 0

Dominant Emotion: Apathy

Personality: Miyako, like the previous Rat's, is quick-witted, clever, charming, sharp and funny. She has excellent taste, is a good friend and is generous and loyal to others considered part of her 'pack'. Miyako is ever curious, seeks knowledge and welcomes challenges of any sort. Some are even intimidated by her presence and spunk, but she never turns down a person in need and will do anything to help. But around the other members of the Zodiac, Miyako tends to be apathetic, keeps her distance, and never makes eye contact. This is mainly in front of the Head of the Family, whom she wishes to never disappoint or anger. When she does, she spirals into depression until the 'kind' words of the Head bring her back up. When she is around the other Juunishi at school though, if they are willing to speak to her, she's darn well going to speak back.

Typical Attire: Miyako loves skirts, long sleeve sweaters and slip on shoes, but she wears dresses here and there.

Keepsakes: A ring given to her from her grandmother which she never removes.

History: Miyako grew up in a household where everything was perfect. She was forced to walk a thin line by her parents, but she didn't know that. Miyako felt as though she was the luckiest person in the world to have a beautiful house, a loving family and an unbreakable bond. She was always confused by the concept of sadness and hatred.
Until she felt sadness first hand.
When Miyako was 6, her mother and father wanted to have another child, make a sibling for Miyako to play and bond with. But when they went to the Head, the Head took it out on Miyako, accusing her of wanting someone else to bond with. Miyako took the beating, and worse, believed it was all her fault. It took several weeks for her to recover fully, and even longer mentally. Once Miyako started up school, she was having issues, not only at home, but in classes to. Her parents had forced her to start learning everything out there, all the musical instruments, all the words in the dictionary and more.
It wasn't till about Miyako's last year of elementary school that they found out she was slightly dyslexic. Her parents blamed it all on her, which she believed, but pushed for her to over come it. Miyako still has troubles with it, but keeps it to herself and deals with it the best she can. Miyako had a grandmother whom she was very close to, but died when Miyako started middle school. It was a very hard time for her, but that was when she started being more like her grandmother, polite and caring.
In both middle school and high school, Miyako was elected Class Rep., giving her even more work and less time to relax. During middle school, she formed a case of Insomnia, making it impossible to sleep or sleep only for short periods of time. This only made her physically weaker and she got sick more often.
When you look at her from a glance, she looks like the strongest person in the world, but underneath it, even unknown to herself, Miyako is at her limits. Because Miyako is the Rat, she appears to have the closest bond with the Head. She loves this because she just may be the only member of the Juunishi that doesn't want the curse lifted. Because of what the first Rat did, she feels obligated to make the others hate her, as punishment for 'her' cruel and selfish act.

ImageMiyako stretched, she had received a fair amount of sleep so she was fairly happy with her more relaxed state. Shadow, her cat, meowed in protest to her moving around. "Good morning to you too, Shadow."

Shadow glared at Miyako, jumped off the bed and sauntered over to his food bowl.

"I'm sorry. I'll sleep on the floor next time." Miyako swung her legs over the side of the bed and into her slippers. "Time for school." Miyako started the day off with her usual routine. Shower, eat, clean out Shadow's liter box and let him outside. Shadow was 'officially' the cat of the Estate, going from house to house and getting cared for my practically everyone. But Miyako had bought him, raised him and loved him. She let him out when she got up so that if anyone came over, they wouldn't know she, the Rat, had a cat. The liter box was always clean and hidden, just like the food bowl.

If she could, she would let everyone know that she loved cats, but it wouldn't make the Head happy. And Miyako's entire existance was to make him happy. It was her 'position', her 'role'.

A glance at the clock revealed that it was about time for Miyako to head out. She decided to put her hair in a fairly loose side ponytail, along with a beige knitted sweater that was slightly big on her, a flowing mid-thigh black skirt, knee-high sock and a pair of slip on black shoes. With that and her shoulder back pack, Miyako was prepared for the trip to her university. Luckily, it was a very mild day, perfect for Miyako's delicate health. If it was too cold, she would faint. Too hot, she would faint. But today was perfect.

"Good morning Miyako!" One of the maids was sweeping the walkway in front of Miyako's house.

"Good morning," Miyako said with a wave. "How is everyone? Did Sona get over her cold?"

"Ah, yes! Thank you for the rice porridge! She loved it."

Miyako nodded, she was always happy to help. The walk to the front gate wasn't that long, maybe a minute or two. The Estate was huge after all, what would anyone expect. On the way to her university, Miyako passed parks, train tracks, children playing, other kids getting ready to leave for school and stores upon stores. She stopped by a coffee shop closer to her school for some coffee.

"Oh!" Miyako dug around in her bag, pulling out a small container that looked almost like a wallet. But it had her daily medications inside, for days that she left for school and forgot to take her medication at home. Miyako popped a few pills into her mouth, took a nice chug of coffee and continued on her walk to school.

Ren groaned as he rolled out of bed in the morning, why did school have to be so early? Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Ren shuffled into the bathroom to get ready. Ren noticed that his hair was especially wild today so he made a mental note to wear a hat.

After Ren had finished in the bathroom he was much more awake, grinning to himself he skipped merrily to his closet before pulling the first things his hands came in contact with. Pulling on the horribly mismatched clothes, Ren chuckled at himself as he dug through his drawers for a pair of socks. Not caring that he looked like a blind person had picked out his outfit, Ren ran down stairs and turned on some music as he readied his breakfast and lunch.

Ren had never been a very good cook, so the runny mess that used to be an egg before it was brutally murdered didn't faze him. Hurriedly stuffing his face full of breakfast, Ren put his plate in the dishwasher as he skipped out of the now ruined kitchen. How it'd gotten so messy when he'd only made two eggs and some horribly burnt toast? The world my never know.

Pulling on some brown boots, Ren reached inside the downstairs closet and pulled out a stocking cap. Pulling it over his head and down to his ears, Ren gave a toothy grin as a few wild snow colored locks of hair poked out from underneath the black cap. Running out the door Ren breathed in the fresh air before his eyes widened and he ran back into the kitchen where he'd left his lunch and school bag.

Skipping out the door and into the crisp morning air, Ren waved at everyone he passed, sending a quick, "Hello!" before carrying on his way to the high school. Ren ignored the strange looks people gave him and smiled at the thought of seeing everyone at school. He couldn't wait to see his best friend Akihiko today! Grinning at the thought, he didn't notice the part of the pavement that was uneven until it was to late. Falling Ren couldn't help but let a squeak escape as he hit the pavement. Looking up, Ren noticed that his lunch had fallen out of the bag and was now all over the sidewalk. Sighing, Ren got up and dusted him self off. Picking up the little of his lunch that could be saved Ren couldn't help but frown, "Maybe today won't be such a good day..."

Kaze never really had use for an alarm. Seriously, if you barely went to school like he did, what was the point? Of course, that didn't mean he was allowed to sleep in today. With all the hustle and noise coming from the rest of the estate, who could? With a slightly annoyed grunt as he stretched and sat up, he walked over to the edge of the Estate's main house. Taking out a canteen and brush, he began to quickly brush his teeth, spitting the water used to rinse his mouth onto the ground below. Putting the brush and canteen to the side, he watched as others left the area to go to school.

First to leave was Miyako, her air of perfection trailing behind her. Second came a rushing Ren, who ended up tripping and spilling the contents of his lunch all over the ground. Kaze just watched him from afar, attempting to cover his need to laugh out loud. His joy was snuffed out pretty quickly as a drop of rain hit him on the nose. Without any warning the skies let down a torrent of water. Kaze moved quickly, throwing a waterproof tarp over his items that were on the roof. Pros about living on a roof were having a nice view of the sunset, sunrise and stars. Cons of roof-dwelling were you had no protection from the elements. After he had covered his belongings from the rain, he turned back to the albino male who had fallen before. Only this time, he wasn't alone. He was accompanied by one pink-haired girl, Akihiko. "Awww. Isn't that cute." Kaze snickered, talking to no one in particular.

He hated school, no doubt about that, but the first day was one that he always made sure he went to. It was easily one of the more interesting days and it was on that day when he would decide whether or not he would go to class that year. Reaching under his tarp, Kaze took out an umbrella and held it in his mouth. He then pulled out his bag and slung it across his shoulder. He descended from his perch on the roof before opening his umbrella. As he started off on his way to the school he couldn't help but wish that this year might actually prove to be interesting. Of course, he had his doubts.

Kimi groaned as she heard her alarm go off. Reaching her hand out blindly, Kimi moved her hand around her nightstand trying to find the source of the horrible ringing. Grimacing as she felt her hand knock the alarm onto the ground, Kimi quickly jumped out of bed to make sure the alarm was alright. I swear Kimi if you've broken another alarm clock! But as the girl walked over to check on it, her foot caught in the bed sheets and she found herself face-down on the floor.

After Kimi had gotten herself ready, she walked into the kitchen in search of some breakfast. Opening the cupboards Kimi sighed, "Well...looks like it's bread and jam this morning...".

After a delicious breakfast of bread and jam, Kimi packed up her lunch and made sure she had everything in her bag before opening up the door and stepping outside. ...Only to find it was raining. 'Figures...', turning back towards the door, Kimi went to open it. "Seriously?!" Seriously. The door was locked and Kimi had forgotten her keys inside. Again. Kimi couldn't even begin to tell you how many times she'd had to ask the head to let her into her house after locking herself out. "Unbelievable..."

Deciding to walk on the side of the street with more trees, Kimi continued her walk to school in the rain without an umbrella. Kimi sighed as she looked down at her soaking uniform, each step her feet took a quiet squish sound could be heard. Looking up at the sky, Kimi took a deep breath of the morning air. Letting the raindrops hit her face Kimi smiled. Yes she'd most likely end up with a cold, but Kimi didn't necessarily hate the rain, so for now she'd enjoy it. Until a terrible thought struck her. Gasping, Kimi quickly fumbled with her school bag as she opened it. Looking inside Kimi breathed a sigh of relief, her sketch pad was ok. Smiling, Kimi continued her walk to school.

Reaching the school gates Kimi sighed. 'One more year' Kimi reminded herself, 'Just one more year...'. Stepping inside the gates Kimi made a beeline for the school, she'd been in the rain long enough. Feeling her face heat up as people stared at her soaked self in question, Kimi kept her head down and felt like things couldn't get worse. Until she slipped as soon as she got inside the school.

ImageA drop fell from the sky, landing on Miyako's head. She looked up at the sky, slight confusion, but soon realized what had happened. The heavens opened up on the Rat and she dashed for a nearby overhang. If she got a cold, it would be that much more school she would have to miss. She pulled out her cell, quickly texting a girl in her class.

I'm sorry, I may be late because of the rain.


Miyako shoved her phone back in her bag, a good thing to for a sudden shout made her jump. "WASSUP, CAT?!" Miyako wished she hadn't looked up, it was just her luck that she had witnessed two of her family members conversing, no less the Monkey and the ... Cat. Miyako quickly and nervously dug around her bag for a book, any book, to hide her face in. She pulled out her Advanced Physics book and practically shoved her nose in it. There was no way she needed to be seen, things would get way too ... complicated. Not to mention it, Miyako had no defense skills whatsoever.

Please, God ... I'm begging you from behind this book, but do not let them see me ... please ...

Miyako started to tremble slightly from the cold and fate tickled her nose.

"Achoo," her sneeze was small, but might have been loud enough for them to hear. She continued to hide her face behind her book, but now she was trembling in fear and chilliness.

"I know my ancestor did a bad deed, but come on ...," she whispered to herself.

Surprisingly, through the sound of pouring rain, Kaze heard a faint sneeze come from a bit away. Glancing around the area, the only other body that he saw aside from Turi and himself was another female standing under an overhang, face buried in a book. He squinted his eyes, trying to identify the person, before recognizing the sort of... perfection air around her, Miyako. He figured the sneeze had to have come from her and, and just his luck, he was definitely in a joking mood. "Turi, I'm gonna borrow this. Don't go anywhere, you'll probably like what I'm about to do." He said, taking Turi's umbrella and holding it up alongside his, getting both as wet with rain as possible.

Satisfied with the amount of water that had collected on the umbrellas, Kaze snuck his way over to Miyako in a similar fashion as he had with Turi. When he was in arms distance from the rat, Kaze abruptly yanked the book out of her hands and swiped the wet umbrellas, both in one hand, across her face. "HIYA, MIYAKO!" He exclaimed in a booming voice. "Hold on, I have someone who wants to meet you." He returned back to where he had left Turi in the rain and gave her back her umbrella. He then grabbed her wrist and brought her over to the overhang where the rain wouldn't be pouring on them.

"Well, y'see here, Miyako. This one actually really, really likes you." Kaze said, grinning all the while. "She just has trouble being honest with her emotions, y'see. So I think that yous should give her a chance and go with her on a date and all that fun stuff!" As he finished his piece, he made sure to take a few steps back so he couldmake a run for it if need be.

Of all things to happen she didn't expect the monkey to appear out of no where and wipe his wet umbrella across her face. A loud yelp that could of been mistaken for someone dying escaped her lips and she jumped back. The umbrella that had been shoved into her almost hit Kaze in the face as she flailed. She wished it had.'T-the hell?!'

Then something even more unexpected happend. The Tiger drive up to her and offered her a ride home after work. Her! She stared in disbelief as the woman drove off. What the hell was going on today? Did every member of her family want to show up?

The gods must of hated Turi more then usual today because Miyako, the rat showed up. Her eyes harden and she didn't even hear Kaze talk. Next thing she knew both her and the Rat where being dragged to an overhang. Once she was out of the horrid rain she yanked her arm away from Kaze. 'The hell are you going on about chimp? A date?!' The slightest bit of pink crossed Turi's cheek but her glare at both Sohma's was deadly as ever.

ImageMiyako was beginning to think she had actually gotten away with being unseen. That is until a booming voice greeted her and promptly smeared a wet umbrella across her face after removing her book from her hands. She squeaked in response.

"Hold on, I have someone who wants to meet you." Miyako automatically went into family mode, making herself look as unemotional as possible. "Well, y'see here, Miyako. This one actually really, really likes you." Kaze said, grinning all the while. "She just has trouble being honest with her emotions, y'see. So I think that yous should give her a chance and go with her on a date and all that fun stuff!"

Miyako could barely think, her hands were shaking and her heart was beating one hundred miles an hour. "You know Kaze," she started with a slight shakiness in her voice. "It's ignorant of you to even believe the rat and the cat will ever ..." Miyako choked up. She had to bit her lip to stop it from shaking and blink furiously to clear her tears. "I have to go to class. And Kaze ... you shouldn't step on people and toy with their feelings." Her voice broke on the very last word as tears started to roll of her cheeks. She made a mad dash, despite the rain, towards her school and away from the two Sohma's. Once she was a good distance away from the two she paused again, turning to face them. It was clear she was furious that not only had Kaze made her cry, but he had probably ruined Turi's day just as much, maybe made Turi hate Miyako even more.

"You're ...," she started quietly. "You're such an asshole! I hate you!" Miyako turned and continued to run to her school.


Miyako entered the building, eyes sore and she was soaked to the bone. She just sat in the main entrance, not wanting to track water wherever she went. As footsteps approached her, Miyako looked up to meet the eyes of the girl she had texted earlier.

"Miyako! You're soaked! When you didn't show up for class I started to worry. Have you been crying?" Miyako smiled up at her friend.

"No no, just think I might have caught a cold from the rain ..." As if to confirm it, she sneezed lightly into her wet sleeve.

"Let's go to the locker rooms! They have a dryer and you can borrow my track suit while your clothes are drying." Miyako's smiled softened slightly, nodding in agreement.

"Thank you so much."

Kaze never meant to hurt anyone, he was just being his normal self. Even so, the words that came from Miyako had quickly wiped the smile off of his face.

Kaze ... you shouldn't step on people and toy with their feelings.

That wasn't all though. Soon after, she had just darted off, which Kaze could have easily accepted, but stopping to turn back and say something... that something is what made his throat feel dry.

You're ... You're such an asshole! I hate you!

He was used to those kind of words, anyone who acted like him on a daily basis would be. However, for the normally stoic and emotionless Miyako to say those words... He respected her as an intelligent person, so the words had had an effect on him. He glanced down at the book that he had taken from the girl, Advanced Physics. He almost let out a deep sigh before he remembered that there was another person there. Quickly composing himself, he put on his normal smile.

"Well, that was unexpected! Ahahaha!" He exclaimed, letting out as convincing a laugh as he could. "Erhm. Well, sorry 'bout that, Turi. I suppose I crossed a line there, huh?" He kept his smile on his face, doing his best to not show how uncomfortable he actually felt regarding the situation. He had planned to have quite the fun day, if he did say so himself, but this chance meeting had derailed that train almost instantly. Though, it was his fault in the end. He quickly slipped the textbook into his bag and wagered his options aloud, though asking no one in particular. "Hm... Miyako might get in trouble if she doesn't have her book so I should probably head over to the college and find her... I could just skip that entire endeavor and go to that bakery though... but that would leave an even more bad taste in my mouth..." He fiddled with his headset as he thought to himself. "Maybe I could give her back her book and then just skip school and head over to the bakery... What do you think, cat?" This time, he looked straight at Turi. He wasn't good when it came to social conventions and the likes, as anyone could tell. He was legitimately asking her opinion, though he really didn't wish to make it a habit.

Turi was vaguely interested in the events unfolding. The moneky had struck a nerve with the rat causing her to run away only to scream her hate for him. She struggled to hide her laughter at this. Finally it seemed he was getting a taste of his own medicine.

Kaze then looked at the book Miyako had left behind. He let out a laugh though Turi recognized the sadness in his voice. Her own sounded like that many a time. Still she didn't really care what the monkey felt. Nope. Not one bit.

Okay maybe it was a but weird to see Kaze like this due to his usual nature but why should that be her problem? After all, she's the shunned cat.

'You really think I care what you do? Burn the damn thing for all I care. God knows she's smart enough to get through school without it.' Turi was completely unaware she had given the rat a complement. It was probably a good thing because if she relized all hell would break lose.

She glanced down at cheap watch she wore and her eyes widened in shock. 'Shit, I'm gonna be late. You better hope my boss doesn't fire me you damn ape. She's the damn devil.'

Turi glared at Kaze before shaking her head. 'Why are you such an asshole? I'm late, you took the pests book and I wouldn't be suprised if you watched the rabbit unveil her tiny angry rage upon me.' She rolled her eyes. 'Whatever. If I get fired I'm coming after you.' With that Turi walked past Kaze and bumped into his shoulder while doing so.

Kaze's facade dropped once he had heard Turi say her piece.
Why are you such an asshole? I'm late, you took the pests book and I wouldn't be suprised if you watched the rabbit unveil her tiny angry rage upon me. He barely registered the threat that came after as she bumped his shoulder, causing him to drop his umbrella. Instead of picking up the umbrella, he just watched the girl's back as she rushed off to her workplace. Today really just wasn't his day. Leaving his umbrella behind, he walked out from under the overhang and started towards the college. He decided upon returning the notebook then skipping school today. He was no longer in the mood to attend.

Along the way he thought about the best way to apologize. He was never really great at telling when enough was enough, but when things got to a point like now, he knew he should at least try and make amends. That being said, he felt unsure about whether or not to apologize in person as his habitual attitude would undoubtedly kick in and make things worse. In the end, he settled on just leaving a note with the textbook that had an apology written on it. Probably not the best way to apologize, but it did seem the safest.

It didn't occur to him until he arrived at the institute that he had no idea how to find Miyako. He stepped into the building at stood in front of the main office, water slightly dripping from his clothes. He took out a pen and two sticky notes. On the first, wihch he stuck on the cover of the textbook, read
"Miyako Sohma" The second sticky note, which he stuck inside the textbook with just a bit of it sticking out of the pages, read "Hiya. My apologies about before... went to far with my joke. Didn't mean anything by it. You don't gotta forgive me, just as long as you know I'm sorry." He kept it short and to the point, much like how he handled phone calls. Walking into the office, he placed the book on the secretary's counter, " Uh... This is for one of the students that attend the school here. Could you make sure she gets it for me?" The secretary replied with a nod. He gave a quick smile before heading back out the building.

He stopped in front of the building to check his watch. "I think they should be open by now... Maybe?" He mumbled to himself. He glanced back at the school once more before heading off in the direction of the bakery. He peeked into the windows, but saw no one. Double-checking his watch, Kaze figured that anyone in the bakery was busy prepping food in the back. He didn't want to be a bother so he slowly opened the door and closed it with equal volume. He plopped himself down on one of the chairs, his clothes now thoroughly soaked. Putting his headphones to his ears, he sighed. "I need a tylenol."

ImageIt didn't take long for Miyako's things to dry, she had only missed about half of her second class. "Thanks again Mei! I'll repay you anyway I can." The girl looked at Miyako with a somewhat sad smile.

"Then cheer up, okay? I'll text you after classes are done." Miyako stood in temporary shock, but sent a wave regardless.

Maybe I did over react ... I just get so tense and nervous and upset around Turi. I couldn't help myself. Miyako pulled open her phone, flipping through the contacts. Luckily, she had Kaze's number.

What you did was wrong Kaze,
But it was rude of me to say those things to you.
I don't hate you, you're my family.


Miyako stuck her phone in her bag, making her way to her next class.

"Miss Sohma, this book was dropped off for you in the front office." Miyako politely took the book from her teacher, it was her Advanced Physics book. She took of the sticky note and sat down. It wasn't until she opened the book for notes that she discovered the note Kaze had left.

Hiya. My apologies about before... went to far with my joke. Didn't mean anything by it. You don't gotta forgive me, just as long as you know I'm sorry.


Miyako smiled once more to herself before joining in on the class.





Image
ImageYamato continued to do what Tomaya asked of him. It was pretty obvious at that point that he was sick, so he would let her give him whatever she had so he could get better then leave the god forsaken estate. "Your ear looks fine, so you aren't getting an infection. I do believe that, with your cough and the fluid I could hear in your lungs, you have a mild case of pneumonia. However, with how poor your immune system is, it could escalate quickly and terribly. I'm going to put you on antibiotics, cough medication, and an inhaler," she explained. Setting the folder to the side, she removed a Popsicle stick from a package in her bag, along with a small flashlight.

"Stick out your tongue and say 'ahhh'."

Shining the light into his throat and placing the stick on his tongue, she nodded once before pulling away and tossing the stick into the trash. With her back turned to him, she plucked the folder back up and began to scribble some notes.

"Your throat is just a bit irritated from the coughing, so I'm also going to give you some cough medicine to soothe the ache in it. Is that alright with you, Yamato?" she asked, her back still turned.

"That's fine ..." Yamato rubbed his throat, swinging his legs over the side of the bed to retrieve his pillow. "Is it possible to take someone else's immune system and give it to me." It wasn't a question really, just a hopeless statement. He wanted to be able to go about freely without having to be watched twenty-four seven. It felt like a prison in the Estate, though it was his Estate that he controlled. That's how the fairy tale went anyways. He sat back on his bed after grabbing his pillow off the ground. Yamato only leaned back slightly before letting himself fall back into the bed, rolling around until he was completely covered by the sheets.

Well, I was just cutting these sandwiches for the day. Did you maybe want to do that while I go up front and start making the smoothies, milkshakes, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate? Besides, I heard the door open behind you. I would imagine someone came in after you, than, so I should probably take care of them. Cut them six inches apart from one another - that way they'll be perfect squares. One you're done, cut the squares in half, and then portion them out onto these plates, which will then be placed on these trays.

That was his task. Cut the sandwiches into specific measurements, place them on the plates, plates go on the tray. Simple. Of course, he never really wanted to work in the first place, but he had no choice and this point. With the knife in hand, he was about to start cutting the sandwiches when his phone vibrated. Putting down the knife, for obvious safety reasons, he took out his phone. It was a text from Miyako. He racked his brain, trying to remember if they had ever exchanged numbers before. With a shrug, he decided that he probably must have forgotten.


What you did was wrong Kaze,
But it was rude of me to say those things to you.
I don't hate you, you're my family.


He couldn't help but let a small smile appear on his face. He felt like some of the tension in his body had been lifted. Though, all the text really said was that she was possibly sorry for what she said and that she didn't hate him. She made no comment about being angry, so there was that possibility, but Kaze was fine with people being angry at him. Take a look at Gengaku for example, he appears to always be made at him, well, annoyed is probably more accurate. Kaze quickly keyed in his own response, but then immediately erased it. "Was it okay to reply...?" He asked himself, "If she's at school would it be better to just reply later? But if she sent one then maybe she's not doing anything?" In the end, he sent a message over, praying to god that if she was in class, her phone was silent or off.

It was wrong, you had the right to say what you did.
Good to know that I didn't have to add another person to the list of people who hate me!
Were you able to get the textbook? Left it at the office.
Sorry about snatching it earlier, I'll make it up to you later.


With a nod, he closed his phone, putting it back in his pocket. Picking the knife back up, he begun to cut the sandwiches as Callista had specified, humming all the while. He was starting to have hopes that this day could be saved yet. After having done so, he placed the sandwiches onto the plates, then onto the tray. He looked back at the curtain sepperating the two areas, but decided against going through it. He was in a good mood, he felt like that would create some unnecessary drama if Turi was still out there. Instead he stayed in the kitchen area and ended up playing around with the knife, swinging it around like a sword while humming some sort of dramatic fight music.

Turi didn't know another woman worked here. She raised her head as the pink haired girl walked out and introduced herself. After she was done Turi sent a glare at Gengaku. 'You told her about me?' There was something else in the question. Did she know about the curse? Or even worse, Turi's?

She shook her head and stood. 'Whatever. Hey.' Her eyes followed Callista as she reached down to grab the cupcakes Turi had suffered for. '....Damn it Rose. You could of told me you already called them....' This was mumbled rather loudly under her breath but she stopped upon seeing the little box.

A gift....for her? How long has it been since she's gotten a gift? The last she could remember was three years ago when she left her dad. He had given her a picture frame with the two of them smiling widely inside. She picked up the small box and her gripped tightened around it. 'I....yeah.' She nodded at the woman which was probably the only thank you she would get.

To say she was suprised when the details of being driven came up was an understatement. But when Gengaku agreed she was even more shocked. 'I...' She pursed her lips and grabbed half the boxes. 'Fine. Grab the rest of the boxes.' With one last nod to Callista she was out the door.

Image"Sir?" Miyako approached her instructor. "For this equation, I got something different than you. Did I use the wrong equation?" The instructor looked at Miyako's equation, quickly pointing to the gravitational constant.

"Your constant is off. The six goes in front of all this and the nine in back. See, when we work that out ... you get the right answer." Miyako internally punished herself but smiled and thanked her instructor.

Outside the room, she was greeted by a few people she knew. "Miyako" one of the girls exclaimed. "Do you want to come to karaoke with us for lunch?" It was a kind offer, but Miyako never went out in fear she would bump into someone.

"I have a lot to do at home, not to mention study."

"Come on Miyako! You have to come out with us sooner or later."

"I'll opt out for later?" Miyako let out a small laugh. "I'll text you and we can arrange something, alright?" With a wave, Miyako left for the library. She had to wait for the rain to stop so she could go home and eat. She wasn't that hungry, but a home-made sandwich was always nice. And since she was done with classes for the day, she could spend the rest of the day at home, doing homework, cleaning, playing with Shadow. "That's right! I need to go to the store and him more catnip. I could go to the student store and buy an umbrella and just go now ..." She silently thanked God that the student store was connected to the library.

"One umbrella?"

"Sure thing Miyako," a friend of hers said.

"Thanks Touma," Miyako said with a smile, handing him change.

"It's lunch time already? Wanna go out to eat? My treat," Touma said in a slightly singsong voice.

Miyako shook her head, but bowed slightly in thanks. "I have to do some shopping then get home." With a wave goodbye, Miyako carried on to the front gate of the school. I should make a list, She thought, stopping to rummage around in her bag for her phone. The front light blinked telling her she had received a message. A quick look identified it to be from Kaze.

It was wrong, you had the right to say what you did.
Good to know that I didn't have to add another person to the list of people who hate me!
Were you able to get the textbook? Left it at the office.
Sorry about snatching it earlier, I'll make it up to you later.


Miyako nodded at her phone, closing out of the message to create a list. "I can make lasagna and have left overs for a week." It sounded good enough to her. "So I need noodles, ground beef," Miyako cringed at the word. It was the same for her whenever she saw a dead mouse. She always felt like she was eating her cousin whenever she purchased the meat. "I'll have to ask for forgiveness later. What else do I need. Cheese, tomato sauce and parsley? Sounds good to me." Miyako closed her phone and continued on to the store.

Image"Your life is whatever you choose to make it, Yamato. Whether you choose to be dour and feel badly for yourself and your life is your own choice - not the choice of the people who surround you. Because I know that, at least for your brother and I ... It breaks our hearts to see you in so much pain - and I don't mean physically," she murmured, her hand once again still on his head.

Yamato felt as though he were a dog by how much petting he was receiving. On top of that, Tomaya was telling him about Frost and Poe like she personally knew the men. He actually had loved it when she used to read through the door to him. He would always say, "Go away, I don't want to listen," but he would sit by the door quietly so he could hear her words. Yamato reached up and grabbed her hand, holding it against his head. It felt like he was in an odd haze that lacked necessary oxygen.

Yamato grabbed Tomaya's hand tightly, pulling her onto the bed next to him. "Read to me," he ordered, still holding her hand. "You're useless and all you can do is read, so read to me."

Since Yamato had been up all night, the moment she began to speak, Yamato's hand let go of hers as he fell into a dreamless slumber.

ImageMiyako had managed to make it home within an hour, she even got practically everything prepared and in the oven. "I guess I could make salad to go with it," she mumbled, observing the contents of her fridge. A familiar feel of soft fur against her legs made Miyako smile ever so slightly. "Hello there, Shadow. Smell the food?" She reached down to pet him, but he jumped up and ran into her bedroom. Miyako shrugged and continued to search for lettuce.

After she found it, she made a salad and stuck it in the fridge. Vrrt ... Vrrt ... Miyako's phone rang, vibrating against the counter. "Who could be calling me?" She picked it up, but before she could say hello, someone else began to speak.

"Hey, Miyako. It's Touma. Can you meet me outside the gate to your Estate? I need to talk to you."

"Oh, uh, sure, I'll be right out." Miyako grabbed her umbrella before speed walking to the entrance. Just outside of that, Touma was patiently waiting. "Hi Touma."

"I'm sorry about calling you out here. But I needed to talk to you. Miyako, I think I really ... I think I love you." A blush painted across his face, Touma looked Miyako dead in the eyes, unwavering. "We've know each other since high school. I know that it's sudden, but I needed to tell you. I know you are probably gonna shut me down, but I was hoping that I was different."

"Oh Touma ... I'm sorry, but this ... would never work." Miyako's hardened state emerged. With her emotions gone, she could greet his eyes. "I appreciate your feelings, but they are something can't and will not share. Good-bye Touma." Miyako turned to the gates, reentering what she thought was always safety. She hated doing that, but if she didn't they would come back, more persistent. She didn't need an accident to happen and Yamato be cross with her. She returned to her home that emanated the smell of cheese and meats crafted together to a wondrous concoction.

ImageIt's raining still...

Days like this were Miyako's enemy. She was already sniffling and had a slight cough, but she knew it was nothing major. Probably just a minor cold, nothing a little soup and medicine couldn't fix. The scent of lasagna wafted through the air, but it would still be a little while until it was done. Miyako had been craving something sweet lately, and many members of her family had spoken of the bakery that wasn't that far. So, prepared this time, Miyako left her warm house to see what would be consumed for dessert.

The rain dripping against her umbrella was nostalgic in a way, it calmed the Rat on her venture. Miyako wasn't stressed, mind you, but the rain calmed her much more than she was. The Rat rubbed her tired eye, letting out a yawn to match. Maybe if she went to the market and bought some sleeping medication she would be able to get a full night of rest for the full day that lay ahead tomorrow. It was her birthday tomorrow after all. Miyako smiled to herself as she ran down the things to do. Some of the girls in her university wanted to take her out to lunch as a present. Maybe she would go out for once, Miyako would just have to be really on her toes about being near any men.

Within only a few minutes, Miyako happened upon the bakery, standing under the awning to shake off her umbrella. Once she had entered the bakery, however, she had noticed that several of her cousins were gathered there. It was really cool actually, the lot had been running into each other so much more often these days. Miyako kept her eyes down as usual, but the slick spot on the floor hadn't registered in her mind until it was to late. Miyako slipped, falling forwards and, you guess it, fell into a magenta-haired man who had been standing in front of her. She saw Gengaku pull a pink-haired woman to the back, so the only two who had noticed her transformation were Kaze and Turi. In a poof of smoke, Miyako was laying in her rat form atop her pile of clothes. She simply squeaked before skittering off to hide in the back. Miyako really hoped that no one would try to squish her. Being something that had been hated by humans for millions of years was tough. Especially when you randomly transformed and had to hide before anyone saw you.

ImageYamato listened to the words coming from Tomaya's heart. But they wouldn't reach his. Something in his mind was convincing him that it was all lies, that if they all had the chance, they would run far from him and this curse. "I won't be here for you out of some sort sense of duty given to me because of the curse, and I won't be here for you because I'm the family doctor and I have to care for you. Just as your brother won't be there for you because he feels some sort of familial obligation to be so. If that were really true, I wouldn't be here right now, and your brother wouldn't talk about you like you were some almighty deity unbeknownst to the rest of us," she laughed softly, causing a small smile to appear on Yamato's face for a split second.

"Tamaki will be here for you because he adores you. Not just as his older brother, or as the ruler of the Sohma family, but because of who you are." She paused, gathering her words and attempting to order them in the correct way. "And I will be here for you because I care about you. Not just as my patient, or as my God, but as a man. Yamato, your brother and I both love you - very dearly, might I add. And no matter how fast you run, you can't escape that. No matter how far you go, you can't outrun your problems. You may still hate me because I left you for a few months due to my being in coma, but I can't help that. I'm sorry, Yamato, but it wasn't something I could prevent. If I could go back and change that, I would - you know that. I never wanted my family to die. It almost destroyed me."

"The only reason it didn't ... Was because of you. And I'll be damned if you try to pass that off on the curse, because that isn't why. You were my best friend growing up, and I've loved you since the very beginning. You may hate me with all of your heart, but nothing will change how I feel."

Yamato buried his face deeper into his knees as he felt tears escape. Yamato wasn't supposed to cry, he was the God, the strongest of all the Sohma family. So why were Tomaya's words ripping his wall out bit by bit. With every brick that fell, Yamato felt a ping of pain and a tear fell. His hands balled into fists and he clenched his teeth as tight as he could. In a way, he felt defeated, embarrassed and pissed off at the world. All he was ever told was that the Curse was the only reason anyone stayed with him. His bitter attitude and selfish ways were to much for even his own mother to handle.

Both Tamaki and Tomaya had been there for him, but he only recognized Tamaki. Was it because Yamato was in such an emotional state when Tamaki had found him? Yamato was full blown ready to die right there in the snow. Maybe then the stupid Zodiac would recognize him. But like he had said earlier, he was replaceable. He was so disposable, yet, the words Tomaya spoke reached him so deeply that he was crying. Yamato squeezed his fists tighter as he let out a long scream of frustration. He wanted to flail like an infant, these emotions he was feeling were tearing him apart. Would it have been this way if he had grown up as a normal boy with normal health to go with it.

No more medicine or cold packs, no more bedridden weeks or months. He could play with his younger brother, free of restraints or rules or risk of isolation. It seemed like a while before he let his scream end, his voice was weak by that point and it had only lead up to a coughing fit. His lungs were killing him from the running, crying and screaming. And now his streaming tears were jerking sobs that made him shake with every breath he took. Why was he, a grown man, crying? If he knew, he would say so. But he couldn't figure out what he was feeling. If it was causing so much pain, it couldn't have been good.

Well this was getting very intresting. Obviously Calista had some sort of problem with the red head and Gengaku knew this. After an harsh conversation he brought the girl into the back. Honestly she felt a bit bad for her. Whatever the red head did must of been bad. Turi gazed at said man. 'You.' She pointed a finger at him. 'What did you do to cause her to break down like that? Some bad breakup crap maybe?' Of course this was Turi's assumption. The two had to of gotten along in the past and something tore them apart. It seemed like the only explanation to The Cat.

However he never got a chance to answer as the door open and Miyako, clumsy as ever missed a rather obvious wet spot on the ground and slipped. Now any other time Turi would of laughed but because today was out to get her she just so happened to fall into the red head.

Poof, rat.

Soon enough there sat a pile of clothes on the floor and Miyako scampered into the back. While Turi held no fondness for The Rat she knew it would be trouble for all of them if someone saw one of them transform. So cursing her bad luck Turi leaped out of her chair and towards the man. She avoided bumping into to him but still sent a tiny shove. 'Shit!' She kicked the clothes to the area Miyako had ran off too and prayed to whatever God this man was shaken enough to believe her lie. 'The hell was that? You fell over then I try to help you up? What's wrong with you?!'

Okay maybe her lie could of been a bit better but making him feel quilty made her somehow feel better about what she had witnessed earlier.

If it wasn't for the fact that gengaku was one of the terrifying things he could have run into, he would have continued to give the little pink haired creetain more of what was comming to her. But watching gengaku hoist the girl over his shoulderand make a bee line for the back made him strangely revived that he was at least out of eye shot for the moment.

Has he tried tostand, he felt something bump into his back and then looked down to see smoke. "What the hell?"he missed as he was also shoved nearly back to the ground. Granted, he was only in the country for a few weeks now, but even that was a bit odd. Even for these people. "The hell are you talking about?!someone just bumped into me and-oh..."as he turned around, he noted where the smoke was commingfrom.

A ran siting of top of a smoky pile of clothes and immidentlymaking a bee line for the back of the store."uh...long story short. We don't get along. And what in yimir's frost beard wwas that?"he asked with a look of 'please.tell-me-i'm-not-going-insane'. In his mind he had an idea that was straight out of a manga, but he really wanted to not think about it.

Turi hadn't expected the man to freak out so much. It was almost laughable. 'Yo dude. Calm down. You are pretty shaken up.' She grinned almost evilly. 'Unless you are really going insane then in that case I'd be happy to call someone to fit a straight jacket for you.'

With a groan Turi stood and offered a hand to the red head. 'Whatever man. How do you know that perv Gengaku anyway?' To be honest she was a bit curious. And maybe even a bit jealous. Why did Gengaku get to be around so many normal people. This red head guy obviously didn't know about the curse due to the way he acted but Turi was sure Callista did.

After a few moments Turi rolled her eyes. 'Oh look. Here's the perv.' Turi offered a small wave to Gengaku who had be shoved towards them by Callista. 'So how's your lover doing perv? I still think this guy is some ex coming to take her away.' Turi jerked a thumb at Aurel. 'Maybe you should go a few rounds with him cuz. I'd love to see you fight.'
