this chapter is a little lighter the the one pervious.

Six months pervious

Yuki walked to Ayame�s shop with Tohru in tow. And, for some unknown reason, Kyo had decided to come along too. Spring had defiantly arrived with fresh rain fall and sakura blossoms.

�So, you stupid cat, you decided to come too?� Yuki gave him a side glance.

�Its okay, isn�t it?� Tohru asked. �I mean the more the merrier, right?� She hopped happily between them. Both guys just gave a noncommittal grunt and took her hands.

�I hope its okay we didn�t call first.� Tohru piped up.

�I�m sure my brother won�t mind.� Yuki said. He glanced at Kyo who seemed more interested in Tohru then the actual trip.

Once inside, the threesome found Mine and Ayame putting the finishing touches on a dress. The girl wearing it was a little shorter then Tohru with light brown hair and dark eyes. The pair was working on an outfit that looked like it belonged in a Middle Eastern movie with its shear forest green skirt and thin bikini top with little gold coins sewn into ornate patterns on the cups. It was completed with a waist wrap that also had complex coin patterns.

�Come now, do a shimmy for us.� Ayame stood next to Mine, ginning like a proud parent. The girl giggled a little and shook her hips in small, quick, barely noticeable movements. The coins rattled happily. The girl turned to look at herself. She beamed at the older man.

�Oh Ayame!� she exclaimed, �its perfect!� the girl jumped up and gave the man a hug. The three standing at the door took a worried step forward.

Laughing, Ayame replied, �You�re welcome. But you know, Mine helped too.�

�Of course,� The girl turned and hugged Mine, �Thank you so much.�

�You�re welcome, Miho.�

Miho turned to Ayame again and gave him another hug before stepping back. �I should change.� She beamed. And she was the first to notice the group standing at the door. �Ayame, there�s someone to see you.� The person in question turned to the bewildered teens standing in his door way.

�Oh it�s Yuki and young friends! How wonderful! What�s with those surprised looks you�re giving me? Oh! It must be the belly dancing costume I made! You�re all in shock of how amazing our little Miho looks in her outfit, a design of my own, I might add. Mine, be a dear and bring us some tea, if you don�t mind.�

�Sure thing!� the woman who was currently donning a red nurse�s uniform bowed and went into the back room.

�Well come in, don�t be shy,� Ayame laughed again, �This is one of my customers, Miho Wutase.� The snake motioned to the young women stand next to him, �Miho, this is my brother Yuki, and the beautiful Tohru.�

�Hey!� Kyo shouted.

�Oh fine, then this is Kyo.� Ayame waved in his direction.

�Oh, you�re the Yuki I�ve heard so much about! I feel like I already know you!� Miho hugged him. He stiffened, waiting for the change. Nothing happened. She stepped back, �You were right Ayame, he is handsome. You know, you look so much like you�re brother.�

�I� um�� Yuki looked dazed.

�Why didn�t he� you know� when she� you know.� Kyo stammered out.

�Oh, why didn�t you transform?� Miho asked in a low voice looking at the door that leads to the back room. Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru all nodded.

�I�m cursed too, of course!� the girl said as if it was obvious.

�Yes it appears that there is another family that shares our fate.� Ayame wrapped his arm around Miho, tilting her face up towards his, �But I must say, you look absolutely ravishing, my dear.�

The girl giggled again. Meanwhile the three visitors were trying to make sense of what this strange woman had just said. Well, Kyo and Yuki were, Tohru looked almost excited.

�You�re a member of the zodiac!� She exclaimed in a happy whisper, �What animal are you?�

�Well� why don�t you guess? It will be more fun that way! Like a game! Okay, what do you know about the animals from the Soma family?� Miho hopped from one foot to the other.

�She must be the rabbit.� Kyo said. �There�s just something about her that makes me think of�� he trailed off.

�Correct!� Miho smiled and gave him a hug.

Kyo stiffened. �Hey� um� okay� get off.�

The bunny giggled and hugged Tohru. �Just so you don�t feel left out.�

�So, Miss Wutase, are you a dancer? Yuki asked when he noticed Mine come back in with a tray full of tea cups and pocky.

�Mm-hmm! I really like it you get to jingle, jingle, jingle!� The girl turned this way and that.

�Let�s sit and have some tea.� Mine set the tray on the table.

�Oh, Pocky!� Miho went and sat on one of the couches, �Come on, everyone! Tea and Pocky!� Tohru smiled and sat next to the girl.

�Brother, may I speak to you in private?� Yuki was already dragging him to the back office.

�Well, what did you want to talk about?�

�How long have you known the Wutase�s?�

�I don�t know all of them, just Miho, Sachi, Biai, Riho, Kadan, Keito, and Onwa.�

Yuki just raised his eyebrow. �And how long have you known them?�

�Shigure, Hatori and I met Sachi in high school.�

�Why haven�t you said anything about them?�

�Well, it wouldn�t be very nice to go telling their secret, now would it?� Yuki growled in frustration and went out to the main store. Another person had joined them. The man had snow white hair and light blue eyes. He sat calmly beside the bouncing dancer. She was now wearing a pair of jeans and a flowery white cotton shirt that hung to mid-thigh.

�Sachi, welcome! Have you come to pick up Miho?� Ayame exclaimed clapping his hands.

"I have," the man, Sachi, nodded taking a sip from his teacup.

�Oh hey, Sachi, I want to go visit Riho at her shop. And I want to bring Kyo, Yuki and Tohru. Can I? Please? You know it�s not too far.� Miho asked tugging at the man�s sleeve.

�As long as you stay together, I suppose it will be okay.�

�I don�t feel like it.� Kyo spoke for both him and Yuki.

�Oh! What kind of store it is?� Tohru asked, jumping out of her chair.

�She sells ice cream, and chocolate.� Sachi said, nibbling on a piece of Pocky.

�Come on, Tohru, it will be fun!� Miho pulled the rice ball towards the door. Kyo and Yuki followed.

�It�s just down this way.� The bunny linked her arm with Tohru�s and pointed two blocks down.

The sign hanging above the door read �The Chocolate Cow�.

�This is it?� Kyo said completely monotone.

�I think I can guess what animal Miss Riho is.� Yuki rubbed the bridge of his nose.

The store was full of people, talking, ordering, coming in and out.

�Ri-chan!� Miho ran in side. �I want a strawberry- chocolate crape!**� she exclaimed, raising her hand in the air.

�Mi-chan, Riho is busy.� A woman who had been reading at one of the tables said.

�Yes, she�s very busy.� The woman behind the counter said, �In fact could one of you give me a hand?�

�Okay!� Miho said.

�I apologize for her exuberance. She�s always been like that. My name is Kadan Wutase. It�s nice to meet you.�

�My name is Tohru Honda. It�s very nice to meet you. This is Yuki and Kyo Soma.�

�Soma, huh? I don�t suppose you�re related to Ayame?� Kadan smirked.

�Yes, he�s, um, my brother.� Yuki said.

�I thought so. What sign are you born under?� The woman asked. It was the easiest way to find out what animal someone was in public.

�I was born under the sign of the rat.� The teen answered

�Oh? And what about you?� She turned to Kyo.

�Cat.� He said simply.�

�I see. I thought I liked you.� She said pulling a pendant that was attached to a long chain out of her shirt. It read �Year of the Cat.� �My brother is born to the sign of the rat as well; you should go speak with him. I�m sure you have much the talk about.�

�If I may,� Tohru started, �That pendant is adorable! Where did you get it?�

�My cousin, Biai, is a jewelry maker. She made it for me. Are you a year of the cat supporter?�

Tohru clapped her hands together, �Yes I am!� Yuki rolled his eyes and Kyo hid his smile behind a cough.

�Oh Kyo! Are you getting sick?�

�No, I�m fine. Where�d the kid get to any way? Let�s find her and get going.�

�She�s helping Riho.� The cat lady nodded to the bunny behind the counter. The girl wore a work shirt that was three sizes too big, with its sleeves rolled up. She was currently shoveling Ice cream into crapes and handing them to the customers.

�I�ll call Sachi and let him know I�ve got my eye on her, if you want to leave. And Yuki, here,� Kadan handed him a business card, �You really should go speak with my brother.�

As the threesome made their way out the door, the cat woman called after them, �It was lovely to meet you.�

�Another rat, huh?� Yuki thought to himself as Tohru nattered at him and Kyo. �I wonder what he�ll be like.�

A/N- I know this was a really talky chapter. sorry about that. but We'll be finding out what happens to the family after Yuki's suicide with in the next couple of chapters.

** My omouto-chan was saying how much she wanted one and she can be a lot like Miho (and Momiji ^_-).
