Sagura hopped about the courtyard outside. She was bored. There was nothing to do. She wandered around looking for Neji. She wanted to talk to him.

((Negi left already XD I'm pretty sure he's back at his teahouse))

(she dont know that lmfao ^^. Im hoping someone will pop up and talk to her.)

((I would but Yukina is in haruka's house))
((Kk, Ignore this post))

((lol can't Rei's preoccupied XD))

(OOC: Ember, did you make it morning? lol. Poor Sigoru hopping around outside all night...*giggles* Still no word from the dragon?)

Peng looked at her and shook his head. "You are wrong Rei-chan. I want to know about your problems. There are few of us in this family. We need to stick together." Peng gave her a smile as he walked over to her and looked her in the eyes. "Rei-chan are you ok?" He moved closer to to her and gently tried to straiten out her hair.

(lol arechi is still mia. Idk where shes at or whats going on.......kinda worried. Hope its ok. I might take over her character until she returns. Im going to wait till tommarrow.)

((so is it morning then?))

((Oh IDk, I'll change it to night/early morning if you guys want me to. Sorry))

(yeah make it early morning guys. Why not)

((early morning would be good))

Rei flinched back unconsciously, away from Peng's hand. A flicker of fear shot through her eyes. Then her eyes widened slightly and she lowered her head, "I'm sorry. I didn't...I didn't mean to do that." She whispered. She sighed and closed her eyes again, images that haunted her dreams flashing through her mind.

{I know, i'm worried about arechi too.}

Leiko stirred in her bed. It was still early in the morning. After waking in the middle of the night she had a hard time falling back to sleep. Restlessness had clawed at her mind for several hours. She shivered as she went to stand up from her bed. The cozy warmness of her bed felt icy to her skin. Snuggling back under her covers the rat fell back asleep still exhausted.

((Kk))

Yukina woke up and yawned, she looked out the window and saw that it was early morning about five. She grabbed her clothes and changed into a white t-shirt, with pink swirls, and a skirt then pulled on some leggings, then combed her long brown hair, and put on some cover up, and a little eyeliner. She then walked to the door quietly so she wouldn't wake anyone up, then stepped outside, it was cool and refreshing. She slipped into her shoes and walked out into the yard. The sun was beginning to rise, so a few birds were chirping and she could hear a few dogs barking. She wished she could turn into a dog, just so she could chase the birds around the yard. She yawned quietly, then started running. Every morning she ran, wither she was at home or not. She loved running, the wind in her hair and the cool breeze keeping her cool.

Peng hung his head and nodded. "It is fine Rei-chan. Have a nice night or day or what ever it is." He turned and gently open the door and showed himself out of her room. He walked about the compound as he thought about the day. The sky was beautiful with all the stars out though the cool wind wasn't. Peng sat down in the guardian as he closed his eyes eyes as he began to drift off to sleep there.

Haruka jerked awake again. She took a moment to catch her breath and then blearily looked at her clock. 'Five fifteen." She grimaced but knew trying to sleep anymore was futile so she stretched and lumbered out of bed. She gathered her clothes and took a quick shower to refresh herself before dressing in a black and white striped shirt, back skirt, black and white striped socks, and white leather arm warmers that laced up her entire arm. (OOC: See pic, lol)

She brushed her hair without bothering to dry it and wandered outside. She was intending to go by the main house's kitchen to see if they would give her some breakfast. One of the cooks there was always really nice to her and would usually leave something in the refrigerator with her name on it.

Haruka was halfway to the kitchen when she realized she hadn't put any shoes on, but she decided not to go back for them even though the January chill was creeping into her feet and making her toes go numb.

Rei moved to the door and watched Peng's retreating back until he turned the corner, then she gently shut her door and moved to her bed. She curled up on her side, covers pulled up to her shoulders. Instead of sleeping though, she stared blankly at the wall, had she been insensitive? Had she hurt Peng's feelings? maybe she should go explain it to him? He had said that they needed to stick together. She pushed her covers back and got back to her feet, dropping her hoodie on top of her desk before grabbing a thin blanket, which she draped over her shoulders before venturing out of her room.

She found him a few minutes later, dozing in the garden. She didn't wish to disturb him, it was so late already, early morning by the looks of it... She shed the blanket and placed it over Peng's sleeping form before retracing her steps back to her room. First she would shower, then she needed to go see Negi, after all they did have a lot to catch up on. Almost two years worth of catching up in fact.

Yukina came to a stop and leaned against a tree catching her breath. She didn't know how far she had ran, but she was out of breath and was now tired again. She looked around and made sure no one could see or attack her, then sat down, and closed her eyes. With in seconds she was passed out.

Kyo smiled and fomming out of te bathroom from taking a shower. He had gotten up at sunrise and had trained like bile always did. He pulled on his pants and jumped out of his window. Jerking his head so his shaggy brown almost black hair was out of his eyes he and walked to the tree. He jumped up ino the tree silentl and looked around. He smiled seeing Yukina and whistled. Smirking he waved slightly. He then realzed she had passed out and jumped down. He looked at her peaceful face surprised and nudged her softly. "Hey... Yukina..." he whispered.

Sagoru hopped down a path in the garden. She was bored. Neji was gone and she had nothing to do now. She wandered around until she came to her garden. She smiled and went to it and began to munch on a carrot. She did love carrots.

Yukina jumped when she heard whistling and saw Kyo sitting in a tree watching her. "Oh K..Kyo-kun. How are you?" She asked jumping up and smiling/waving at him.

The rat rolled out of her bed and hit the floor. She jerked up looking surprised as she sat on her cold floor. The girl shivered and pulled herself back into her bed. Looking at the time she decided it was a good time to get a shower. Grabbing her robe and her bath things she headed for the bathroom. Leiko shivered as she walked down the hall hurrying into the bathroom. She entered the bathroom, and turned on the warm water to take her shower.

After taking her shower she blow dried her hair and changed into a gray pleated skirt, a brown short sleeved turtle neck, gray tights and black ballet flats. Leiko walked down the hall and went into her room. She made her bed and put her pajamas in her hamper. Sitting back down on her bed, she wasn't sure what to do.

Kyo smiled and leaned against the tree on the branch. "Why are you up so early?" he asked and jumped down fromhis branch. He smiled and looked at her raising an eyebrow. She had looked cute sleeping and he was surprised to find anyone up so early. He then realized that he had forgotten a shirt and hoped it wouldn't make Yukina uncomfortable.

Haruka made it to the kitchen, having only gotten a little turned around once or twice. She was rewarded for her effort and frozen toes when she found a bento in the refrigerator with a note taped to it bearing her name.

She happily dug into the carefully prepared sushi, rice and pickled vegetables, wincing a bit as her toes protested warming up now that she was inside.

Leiko heard her phone vibrating on the table. "Hello?" she asked quietly.
"Hey, sis," the male voice answered.
The rat always talked with her older brother. Her mother may have forsaken her daughter, but her brother still loved her. She hurried out side to continue her conversation with her brother. Gently she sat herself on her rock she had yesterday and spoke with her brother. She missed him. Leiko hadn't seen him in weeks. She had been to busy practicing talking with her dance instructor again to help teach her some more.
