tohrou smiled a bit but the she realized what exacty Rita had said " wait.... blood" she said a bit shakily "yea , its not that big adeal , i was 9 back then , and it wasn't even the first time i got nto a fight where i drew blood... Markal should remember my first fight , everyone was there except for the youngest members" tohrou tilted her head now a bit curious " who did you fight" Rita looked at Markal then a tohrou and with a single word the room went silent " akito"

Markal put his homework away as Tohrou and Rita chatted. He shifted uncomfortably when she mentioned the fight between her and Akito though. He definitely remembered, how could he forget? It was almost like a bomb going off. Rita was extremely strong, even then, and no one wanted to get in between the two of them.

tohrou looked at Rita with disbelief " y-you fought akito" rita nodded " yea, i was tryng to maake friends with the other zodiac kids and he told me that i needed to stop , that i as simple trash unlike him , and that i didn't deserve to be a sohma let alone a member of the zodiac... so i yelled at him... i said ... 'At least im the actual god figure instead of a fake one'.... so he slapped me across the face", thats how it started"

Tohrou and Markal listened with rapt attention. He'd been one of the first Zodiac members to completely be open and friendly with Rita. The others were more wary, knowing that it would probably cause problems with Akito.

tohrou swallowed " w-what'd you do then" she asked quietly Rita stood up " hmm .. what did happen ... oh yea when he slapped me i honestly was a bit suprised because i was only 6, but after a moment my rage started to build up. The next part was actually kinda funny. my rage caused me to actually transform into my fox form , so i jumped onto him and bit his arm like five time, it took three people to get me off him. That was when i first started living here"

Rita was 15 now and that fight was about 9 years ago. He was only one year younger than her and he almost felt nostalgic thinking back, it felt so long ago. He'd visited every now and again when Rita had left the main house. "When did you leave to go study abroad?" He'd never really been sure just when it happened, all he knew was that she wasn't here when he visited.

Rita thought a moment " about 4 years ago , and trust me , if it was my choice i would'nt have gone , but that was when yuki came to live here so akito had made plans already to have me out of the house , though he would'nt take me back in the main house , so he sent me away. god it was so hard though" tohrou looked up at her " why" she asked. Rita looked down at her with a look that said 'are you serious' after seeing tohrou's expression not change she sighed "it was tough because i was the only person there that could change if hugged by the opposite sex , so imagine this , some guy hugs me and i transform , who's gunna think of a cover story"

Markal chuckled a bit imagining a guy's face when he found out Rita was a fox. Literally. "You could always tell them they were having hallucinations from the levels of hormones in the air." He grinned. He'd used that one before, and it was actually what got him at the house he was currently in. Markal still couldn't believe that the girls had believed him. Akito had still insisted on having their memories wiped though.

rita looked down at him : i tried , but they didn't believe me, its just a good thing i learned to erase memories" Rita sighed and looked into the hall way " i guess i should get back to cleaning , and no neither of you may help me"

Markal nodded and smiled. Rita had always been pretty independent. Tohrou looked like she was going to object, but changed her mind and said "See you at dinner then." She picked up the empty cups and left. Markal didn't really have much to do since he finished his homework so he decided to go outside and train a bit.

Rita walked down into the basement and several hours later of loud bangs the sound of sweeping and the occasional loud thud she finally came out just a tohrou called dinner. " oh i hope shes a good cook" she said to her self.

Markal ran in as soon as Tohrou called. Kyo came in after him. Kyo glanced at Rita and pointedly sat at a spot on the table as far from her as possible.

Rita Walked in next to yuki who was clearly avoiding her touch " com on yuki , i won't hurt you , i swear your still scared of me after all this time" she sighed and sat next to shigure across from Markal.

Markal looked down on the array of foods. There was sekihan, botamochi, ayu yakizakana, and many others. "You've really outdone yourself Tohrou!" Markal started to pile up his plate. "Itadakimasu!!" He dug in.

tohrou smiled " well its a speacil occasion Rita has returned and i get to meet her" Rita smiled and bowed her head " whyy thank you tohrou ts an honor, and all the food looks great....ITADAKIMASU" rita then began to dig in and eat "mm it tastes great to". After a few moments of eating in silence rita spoke up " oh yea shigure , i assume since you forgot to tell them i was coming home , you probably forgot to tell them im also attending their school to didn't you"shigure paused a moment then started to fake laugh as her avoided every ones eyes.

Markal brightened at the news. He swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I can give you a tour of the school tomorrow!" He laughed. "You wouldn't believe how much girls fan over Yuki."

rita smiled "i've got a pretty good idea as to how popular he is" yuki jumped a bit "he's always been popular with the girls even when he wasn't aloud to go outside. when we would play outside , we'd see him from the window and the girls would just 'AHHHH'" she mimicked a girl swooning as she spoke her 'AHHH'.

Markal laughed. "Yup, that's about how it is. As long as you don't get caught in his fangirl crowd in the halls, it's pretty easy to get to the classes."

rita laughed and nodded " yea yea , but you know i can always give them a pretty mean glare to get them to go away" this is when kyo spoke up " like the hell thats gunna work , i've tried that since day one and it doesnt work" Rita looked at kyo for a moment " no offense kyo, but your not scary , your actually a bit cuddly .... like a cat"

"Yeah, I think yours is lacking something... Tohrou's friends Arisa and Saki seemed to have mastered it." Markal snatched up the last botamochi just before Shigure and ate it with obvious relish. "Too slow."
