Ayaka headed up into Aya's room and started to unpack the few things she'd need.

"I guess so. Well.. I'm not sure." Aya just shrugged her shoulders and returned to the sweet making. The milk canes were coming along quite nicely now.

Takeshi wrapped an arm around Shoji's waist and pulled him close, enjoying the attention. "Mn. You cute when your wet~"

Kioshi snorted at this. "Boys? How can they call themselves guys? There's very few 'guys' in this place anymore. Guys don't shave their legs, for one."

Madoka nodded and followed his brother to find a spot for their carrots.

Aya pulled out her outfit for the reunion and set it down on the bed. She also pulled out several items for her hair and a hairbrush.

"Rings instead of chains? We could do that." She had the ring moulds somewhere in the cupboards. "With caramel too? That sounds as though it was nice. Though unfortunatly, we don't have any caramel left. Satoru ate it all."

"Yes." Takeshi replied, relaxing back against the side of the bath and into the water. Muscle by muscle, he started to relax.

Kioshi nodded in agreement. "Then seems most of the guys in this house are very gay." Takeo had his legs shaved twice? Atleast they weren't by choice. "Yeah, you never back down from anything."

Madoka raised a brow at the squeal and followed his brother towards the patch of dirt. "Oh, it does look like a nice spot." he said as he knelt himself down.

Ayaka looked to Haruko and frowned. "Really? So you haven't gone out shopping to buy new things especially? I'm having my hair and nails done later too."

"The ring moulds are under the sink with the other moulds and the shape cutters." Aya said having glanced over her shoulder to watch Haru look for them. "Behind the garbage bags. They will need washing first though."

Takeshi purred and let his chin rest on the cats shoulder. "Everyone in this house gets my attention for numerous reasons. Kazuki because.. he's like my little brother. Satoru because he's always causing trouble. Tatsuya because he's the head of the family. Shigeo because I have to keep an eye out for him. And you, because your cute and fluffy and nice to cuddle with."

Kioshi closed the bedroom door after having stepped into the roosters room. "True men cry as its a sign of strength and shows they are human." He said, leaning against the wall and watching Takeo. "Your mother isn't gone, she'll always be watching over you." Thats what his mother had told him when his grandmother had passed away. "Yes, I suppose your lucky. Only males can carry the rooster curse. Poor Haru though, the only male cow."

"Okay!" Madoka took two packets of seeds and moved to the left side of the dirt patch. "Okay then. After three!" After making sure he'd opened one of the packets, he waited for his brother to do the same, then started counting backwards from three. "Three... Two... One.. Go!"

Ayaka shook her head and started to brush her own hair. "Well then, you'll just have to come with me when I have mine done. They'll only be too happy to do your hair too." She said with a smile. "It is kinda trademark of you. And as usual, I suppose Takashi will turn up in one of his simple shirts. You know the shirts I mean.. the kind that a lumberjack would wear."

Aya nodded and finished off the mixture, taking care as she did so. Once she was handed the mould, she thanked Haru and started to pour some of the mixture into the moulds. "Would you like to do some too?"

"Yes, it seems as though you have won my heart." The tiger spoke, fingers gently rubbing the cats hips. "Just as I have won yours, it seems."

"She still went down fighting though, didn't she? Disease is a cruel way for a fighter to go down, but she went with dignity."

Madoka quickly started to plant his seeds too, intent on winning and beating his brother. "Nu-uh! I'm gonna win~"

"Then I'll have them dye your hair for you too. You'll have a nice pampering session." She said shortly before sitting herself down at Aya's beauty table and staring into the mirror. A minute later, she started to work on her hair.

"That sounds fair." The sheep said and divided the rest of the mixture, half was placed in another bowl and handed to Haru.

Takeshi smiled and watched Shoji for a moment. "Well.. we should start washing 'else I'll be asleep in the water. Want me to scrub your back?"

"You may be short, but your bigger than most with personality and ferocity." Kioshi said, sighing softly as he glanced around the males room and then back to the male himself. "So.. why are you in here?"

"Nu-uh, I'm gonna win." Madoka replied and quickened his pace with planting the seeds. Soon enough he'd planted one full pack and was starting on the second.

Ayaka nodded her head in agreement. "It'll be a thing of the past when your being pampered."

Aya took her own half and quickly finished off her own moulds. It didn't take her long and she watched Haru. "These have to go somewhere nice and cool now, to set."

Takeshi reached behind him into the small container of wash things and pulled out a wash cloth. "Nah, don't worry about it. I'd much rather wash your back."

"Ah.. I see. I've been looking for you outside, didn't think of looking for you in here until very last." The horse sighed. "Nothing. Ended up giving the bunnys a ride though."

Madoka wasn't going to let his brother win that easily. He continued to work quickly and was soon almost finished with his packet of seeds.

"Doesn't matter. Everyone has their own sense of fashion. You prefer more tradition clothing, nothing wrong with that."

"Perhaps in the fridge, the bottom drawer has a lock to keep people out of it."

Takeshi took the cloth and started to wash the cats back slowly and gently.

Kioshi looked down to his clothing and then back to Taeko. "They soaked me with the hose and my clothes went see through, so I ended up as a horse."

Madoka pouted as he finished seconds after his brother did. Wiping his brow, the bunny sighed and nodded. "Yeah, they need a good drink."

Aya soon finished her hair and stood herself up. "Well, you've always been stared at in the wrong ways. Come, sit down." She said, motioning to Aya's chair. "When we're all done with you, they'll stare at you in a completely different way."

"No.. Satoru hasn't learnt to pick locks yet. He tends to just tug at it, get annoyed and give up."

Takeshi smiled faintly to himself as he washed the cats back. His hands and the cloth moved all over Shoji's back, upper and lower, though he didn't pass the base of the tail.

"But they're always mischevious around me. I may aswell never wear white again." The horse sighed and ran a hand through his hair again. "Yeah, your lucky. I get through dozens of clothing a month."

"Okay." Madoka turned and went to drag the hose as close to their carrot patch as he could manage.

"Its easy enough to sort out." Ayaka said, gently swatting Haruka's hand from her hair. Instead she sprayed something on the knot and gently started to work her fingers through it, easing out the knot as best she could.

"Yes, lets hope and pray." Aya placed hers in with Haru's and placed the lock on the lower drawer. "Do you want to keep the key with you?"

"So... you want me to go lower?" Takeshi asked, his free hand gently running along the soaking wet Shoji tail now.

"Mn. Yeah. Happens when I'm really worked up. I shrink into a Shetland Pony." Kioshi sighed and shook his head. "Which only makes things worse as the others seem to think its cute."

"And I got the hose!" Madoka said, waiting for his brother to hold out the cans so he could fill them both with water.

Ayaka didn't seem to mind doing Haruka's hair as she was so used to doing Aya's hair - though she hadn't been able to do that in a while. Ah well. "You really need to see a stylist or something.. go for a new look for your new life and love." she said, gently brushing the cows hair once she was sure the knot had been gotten out.

"Ah... okay, I'll keep it then." Aya placed the key into her pocket and smiled. "We're both as scary as one another. The smaller one's are afraid that you'll step on them and they don't like me because I bite when I'm a sheep."

Takeshi watched the tail and smirked as he washed down the males back, past the base of his tail, right down to where the cats rear was set on his own lap - and then back up.

Kioshi snorted and folded his arms firmly across his chest. "If people didn't keep making me change then we wouldn't have to spend so much money, would we?" He snorted again. "Besides, its my own money I'm spending." A personal trainer at the local gym. Well.. once or twice a week, anyway.

"Okay!" Madoka tried his best to fill the constantly moving cans. Though he had a little difficulty and seemed to get more of the water over his brothers hands than the cans.

"Curly, cotton like and as white as snow." Ayaka said, obviously quite fond of her and her daughters hair. "But.. well, I suppose a trim and a recolouring wouldn't do you any harm. It would bring back the black instead of having this faded colour. Much more like those Geisha your so fond of."

"When any of us are human, we wouldn't harm anyone. But.. when your a cow, your one of the largest animals in the house so its only natural some of the others are scared. They don't want to be trampled over."

Takeshi's chin remained on the cats shoulder as his hand moved lower once more. "You like that, hm?"

"Yeah well, Tatsuya complains about everything." The horse said, eyes on the rooster now. "No, well I wouldn't purposly try to harm you. But if you were a rooster and I was a horse and I didn't see you.. well, I'd probably trample over you."

"Its okay! Cans are filled now anyway!" Madoka said with a wide grin.

"Yes, your still looking young. You'll find those aren't wrinkles, just stress lines. They should start fading now though." The sheep said, smiling faintly as she continued to work on Ayaka's hair.

"Heh, I suppose Takeo is the exception. No one particularly likes being within reaching distance when he's angry."

Takeshi continued to wash below the base of the males tail, enjoying the purring sounds it brought. "Anywhere else you need washing?"

Kioshi nodded and sighed. "I suppose I could try and see if I could change my transformations. Change into a Shetland rather than a shire. Though.. I do like being a large horse. Its.. nice."

"Okay! I'll water your side and you can water mine~" The bunny said as he moved to stand where his brother had just planted seeds.

Ayaka simply nodded her head and finished brushing Haruka's hair. "I'm going to the salon tomorrow and your coming with me, alright?"

Aya gave a small nodd of her head. "But he's a rooster, they are known for fighting. Cock fighting and all that."

"If I didn't want to carry on washing you I wouldn't have asked." The tiger said, arms around the cat and the cloth gently rubbing his stomach.

"Yeah and I suppose its something to aim for. If I can be a miniature pony or something, I wouldn't get shooed from the house each time I transform."

"Ready, steady, Go!" Madoka c ounted down and then slowly started to water the dirt.
