((OOC: Ok everyone, I thought it would be cool if we could all get involved in this thread. Though I do hate to see people get left out once they join a thread, we have all had it happen, you join then leave for a few days then come back and there are three pages that you have to read...Yes, so to however joins this, please let us keep an order to this thread. That is all)) Momiji walked down the strait, slender path of the hall. His sock feet making a soft patting on the hard wood floors of the Sohma's summer home. There was to be a dinner tonight, of course, not a banquet, but a nice dinner non the less. He had heard that Akito was sick again and would not be coming, which suited him fine, but due to this the possibility of Kureno and Hatori and maybe even Shigure being there was slim. He wasn't in his clothes yet, and even though he wasn't to dress in his banquet dressing clothes, he still had to be in nicer clothes then what he was in at the moment, his school clothes. He sighed picking at his shirt. He hated having to change so many times every time the family had dinner together...but this was the way that all Sohma lived, so he had to live with whatever he had to deal with. He walked to a big door and turned to face it. He stared at it for a what seemed to be a long time and then reached for the door nob. He twisted it, feeling nervous already. He was unsure of why this happened so many times when he became nervous. He walked in his room, closing the door behind him, and flopped down on his bed. He stared up at his ceiling and sighed. Who would come? It wasn't a HAVE to thing...seeing as Akito wasn't there...but of course, he would get in trouble if he didn't show up, so he had to. But not all Sohma's had guardians watching over them and telling them what to do, as Hatori had been with Momiji lately. He usually got elected to keep Momiji when they went to the summer home. Momiji sat up, it was getting close to the time of the dinner, so he needed to get ready. He stood and walked over to a small chest where he kept his clothes during his times here. He pulled out his clothes and proceeded to change. When he finished he walked back out of the room. He made his way back down the hall and through a few other halls and small rooms leading to more halls, then he found his way to the dinning room door. He opened it and made his way to the table. He was alone. "I must be early...." He muttered confusedly to himself. Well, that was what he hopped, he wished that he wasn't the only one showing. He had heard some lady somewhere in the Sohma house gossiping about a young girl that was coming...Tohru? Maybe...but this could have just been old lady gossip...they tended to speak about things they didn't know. He made his way to the table and say down on a small sit-upon and sat down. He rested his head on his arm, waiting to see if someone else would show. Word count: 605

Kagura was over excited. Although this was just a dinner, it was with her whole family, and as she wasn't exactly unpopular, she was looking forward to seeing all her loved ones. She had taken a lot of time in choosing her outfit, and did her hair as best as she could.
She had been sitting in front of the mirror pulling poses, happy to see that all her make up, outfit ideas and hair had all gone to plan. Finally, someone had called Kagura, and told her to get out of dream world. Happily, she leaped off her chair, grabbed her tedddy bag full of make up and some random junk, and skipped her way to dinner.
Once she got there, although she was out of breath, she happily opened the door and saw Momiji!
'Hello Momiji Chan!' Kagura said, sitting next to him, hoping the others would come soon 'You're here early, Momiji Chan!'

Momiji's mouth spread into a wide smile as he saw Kagura walk in. He clapped his hands a few times as she walked over and sat down. He watched her and listened to her speak. "Yes, I was really excited so I decided to come early!" He exclaimed, still smiling brightly. He leaned against the table and sighed, though happily, and looked around the table. "Can you believe that no one is here yet? I was here early and you came kinda early. But then again..." He paused for a second. He rubbed his finger over a sthingy sitting on a napkin.
He looked up at Kagura oddly. "I heard some old ladies talking about a young girl that was coming tonight...Do you maybe think that they could have been talking about Tohru?" He asked her looking down at his lap. Then his head shot up something hit him. "Is Kyo and Yuki coming? I know Akito won't make it....so do you think they will be here? I know you usually keep track of Kyo's every moves." He giggled a bit after his last sentance.
He looked up at the ceiling. "I hope they come...and Tohru too...that would be nice...yes." He said, only this time he was mainly speaking to himself.

((I'm so sorry i took so long to reply!))
Kagura's face lite up at the sound of Kyo's name, and she barely acknowledged the mention of Tohru. SHe clasped her hands together
'Kyo will come! I made sure of it!! Although, when I mentioned that I was going, he did seem a tiny bit unsettled,' Kagura knew this was an understatment, but didn't want to admit to it 'But none the less! With a bit of convincing from all my heart, and a few words from Tohru chan, he seemed fine with the idea!' Kagura beamed, again knowing that this was untrue, and that she had to beat him up just to get him to say he would go, and if it wasn't for Tohru, he may have not agreed at all.
'I just hope he doesn't get too caught up in things, you know, like the dojo,' she said. Finally, the fact that Tohru may be coming clicked
'If Tohru chan came... KYO'S SURE TO COME!' With all the excitment, Kagura almost caused her chair to topple backwards, but gained her balance quickly, a smile still spead all over her face

((lol don't worry about it.))
Momiji smiled, and laughed a bit. "Yeah!" Momiji exclaimed. "I hope they do come, that would be so cool! I hope lots of people come, but it would be really nice to have Yuki and Kyo, and Tohru! I hope Tohru comes! That would be super cool." He giggled a bit more.
He rubbed the table and and looked at Kagura. Sometimes he wondered how she felt about Kyo liking Tohru so much. He knew Kyo liked her, and the odds were very high that Kagura knew it too. His smile faded a bit as he thought of how sad Kagura must be sometimes. He looked back at her and thought for a second.
"Kagura...Um..." He paused a for a second. He was unsure of exactly how to do it, how to bring it up for her. "What do you think of Tohru?" He asked, smiling trying to lighten the subeject. He also decided to add something to brighten it up a bit. "I like her. Must people seem to." He hated asking her this, but they hadn't been around each other much, and he did want to get to know her. And her feelings towards Kyo might have made her feel bad towards Tohru. he hoped that hadn't been the case. He didn't want her to hate Tohru even though Tohru had not done anything.

The smile on Kagura's face fell. Tohru was a really great person, but the truth was, Kagura was jealous of her, and extremly concious that right this secound, she was probably with Kyo, and what was going through his head while he was with Tohru Kagura did not want to know.
'Tohru... is nice.' Kagura said, looking down at her feet while they were tapping the floor and swinging, in attempt to distract herself

Momiji nodded kind of sadly. He was afraid that she would get sad...and judging by the way she was tapping and swinging her feet...He had hit a wound within her. He continued to rub the napkin, only he was rubbing it harder as though his life depended on keeping this napkin strait.
He looked up at Kagura, his eyes were full of sadness. Momiji kind of knew where she was coming from. He liked Tohru...A lot...But seeing the way Kyo acted around her, there was no way he could even think of...and maybe, just maybe...This was what Kagura was feeling now. He could only assume, which he had to do most of the time.
Without really knowing what he was doing his hand reached out for her and he patted her arm. Only when his hand touched her arm did he really realize what he was doing. Then, after patting her arm a few times, he decided he had to speak, he couldn't just pat her and make her think she was being dramatic. Also he knew that it wouldn't be wise to just say 'Hey it will be ok'. He had to say something...Meaningful.
Looking to the wall he thought hard. "Kagura...I'm not going to pretend I know what you feel...Nobody can get in your head, just like nobody can get in mine...Like you can't get in someone else's..." He paused thinking once more. After only a second of thinking he looked at Kagura, his eyebrows knitted together, clearly he was still thinking hard.
"You know..." He paused again trying to think of how to word what he was about to say. "I...know its hard seeing him with her...Tohru. But...Something tells me that just as I know, you know too, that they need to be together...Kagura...I know its gonna be hard...but..." He sighed. He wasn't doing near as good as he thought he would do...It had sounded much better in his head. "I don't know..." He finally said. "All I can tell you...Is..Just do what you think you should do..."
The sadness in his eyes was gone for the most part, but he was still thinking hard. All he wanted was to help her...But the way he had said everything...
Maybe I just made it all worse... he thought looking at his lap. All he could do was hope he hadn't ruined it all, as he waited for her to say something.

(again, sorry for taking so long. things keep coming up! I'll try to get on her more often, i'm so sorryyy!)
Kagura was thinking of running out the room, like she would usually do in these cases, but deep down, she knew she would be running away from the truth. She really did like Kyo, and she was quite sure Tohru did too, but why did Kyo choose Tohru over her??
'Is there something wrong with me?' She whispered, wondering if Kyo truely hated her... 'Oh yeah...' She said outloud. She remembered again that she was the one who ran away, screaming, when he had turned into his true form, and maybe that now that happened, Kyo could never truely like her, because Kagura's intentions had turned out selfish. Still, her feelings towards Tohru trulely were mixed. Didn't she like Yuki, too? Or was that just a rumour? Will Yuki be hurt? Is she being selfish too... No, Tohru isn't like that...

((OOC:Please Kagura-Chan! Don't worry about it! I understand. ^_^ No worries))
Momiji saw Kagura, and felt the mixxed feelings in the air. He could tell she didn't like this conversation, but he also knew that maybe the more she spoke of her feelings the easier it would be. That made sense to him, anyway.
Suddenly he looked up, hearing her speak softly. 'Is there something wrong with me?' She whispered.
Momiji shook his head furiously. "Kagura!" He started, though he knew this sentence was not likely to be for him to hear, it was one of those things he had never been good at, hearing someone speak bad of themselves and then him not saying anything about it. "Kagura! Honestly, nothing is wrong with you! You are great, it's just..." He paused. He couldn't get in Kyo's head, so he couldn't be positive what his reasons for not choosing Kagura would be.
He put his head down, a bit ashamed for not having any good ideas to help cheer Kagura up with. "I-I don't know..." He looked up to her and his eyes were sad. "I don't know Kagura...Everyone is different, but I can say one thing...Nothing is wrong with you...You are fine! Kyo just...I don't know..." He said. It was hard to say that to her, that she was fine, but not good enough for Kyo...He didn't come right out and say she wasn't good enough, but no other reasons came to him. His voice had choked a few times while he was speaking.
He had never had a good relationship with Kagura before, well it was good, just not full. They had never spent too much time together, but still it was hard not to have a good reason for her love to not want her. Sadly he rubbed his eyes, he had begun crying a bit. No sound left his mouth, but tears rolled down his face, and he steadily wiped them up.

Kagura smiled sadly. She really appriciated Momiji trying to help her, but nothing he said was getting through to her. She hated to admit it, but she was simply swimming in her own depression. She had tried hard for such a long time, and even if her desires had been selfish, she still loved him, and that's what counted, right? But there was no way she could compare to Tohru- she was kind, selfless, caring, and adorable it seemed, but Kagura held hardly any of those qualities, and if she did then they were surely weaker than Tohru's. Was is that Kagura just wasn't good enough for him?
At this thought, it was as though the dam holding back the tears had broken, and Kagura's face screwed up in attempt to hold in the tears, but it was hard. After a few secounds, she burst into violent tears, and there was nothing she could do to stop them from continuing to flood

Momiji had looked back down to his napkin, tears rolling down his face. He had just given up on whiping them up, because as soon as he more replaced them. He had been silently crying up until this point, and a small whimper left his mouth. He covered his eyes, he felt as though he shouldn't have been crying, but there was no way to stop it.
As Kagura busrt into tears, he jumped up, not expecting it, and knocked over his chair. The sudden surprise had stoped his ever flowing stream of sadness that had been coming from his eyes. He stared only for a second, seeing Kagura crying, then found words, and found himself able to speak.
"Kagura..." He started saying. But the words left him. He had always been so good at cheering up others but- And there it was, the things that might help if he said them. He walked the few steps between him and Kagura and wrapped his arms around her, embracing her in a tight hug.
"Kagura, I know Kyo means a lot to you, but really...He's just one person. Maybe you aren't the person to please him...But think of how many people there are in the world. Certainly there has to be someone out there for you to please." he paused, it needed someone else...
"Kagura...You can't bend your whole world around Kyo...He's just...One person, no matter how emportant he is to you...He's still just one person in this world...And even though you two together would make you so happy..." Another pause came.
"Think of it this way. There is always someone out there better at something than you are, right?" This was said as a question, but he left her no time to answer before he started again. "Then if Kyo is good at making you happy...Then, that means there is someone out there even better at making you happy then he is." He brushed her hair back. "Right?" He wasn't sure how well the speach had went, but it would have made him happy. To know that there was someone better at making him happy then one person who made him feel so special.
And Momiji thought for a second, stroking Kagura's hair comfortablely, trying to keep her calm, though he was so deep in thought he hadn't paid attention to whether or not she was. Tohru made Momiji happy...And maybe, even though he couldn't be with her...There was someone out there who could make him even more happy...
A smile came to his face. "Right." He repeated, not as a question this time, but more of an acceptance.

Kagura sniffed. She knew Momiji was right, even though it was extremly hard to accept. But he said the words with a lot of confidence, and Kagura couldn't help but put a lot of trust into his words. She wiped the tears from her eyes, and hugged Momiji back. 'Thank you,' She said, feeling another tear come up 'You're right... I guess... maybe Tohru deserves the happiness I've been going through these years, even if it has been running on false hope... she's gone through a lot... maybe it's her turn to have something good... and if... she makes him happy...' Kagura didn't want to say the next part of her trail of fault. Letting go of Kyo in her own mind was hard enough, but to say it outloud might make her totally break down.

Momiji's face lit up as Kagura began to speak.
'You're right... I guess... maybe Tohru deserves the happiness I've been going through these years, even if it has been running on false hope... she's gone through a lot... maybe it's her turn to have something good... and if... she makes him happy...'
"Thats right, Kagura!" He said happily. "Thats a great way to look at it." He hadn't heard her voice trail off and had mainly just heard the good beginning of her sentence. He brushed back his hair and sighed.
He looked around the empty room. "So...do you think anyone else is going to come? Or do you think waiting for someone would be silly?" He asked. He didn't want to wait to eat if there wasn't going to be other people coming. He peeked over sideways looking at the kitchen door. "If not...Then maybe we could go sneak in there and get some food." He blinked. "Not stealing!" He added quickly. He didn't want her to think he was a theif...But he was getting hungry.

'I really had hoped more people would come...' Kagura said, looking eargerly at the door, as if hoping these words would cause a parade of people to come bursting through the door 'How could they miss this!! They're so boring! Unless... Akito caught them..' Kagura said, her imagination running away with her again

((OOC: I am going to use Hinata in this post. If it isn't ok ket me know and I will change the post. But I figured she really didn't count as a character and I could use her.))
Hiro walked down the halls of the Sohma Summer Home. He had heard that there would be a dinner tonight, but that it wasn't a 'Have To Come' type thing. But being bored he had decided to go...at the last minute. Though by doing so his mother had needed him to watch his baby sister Hinata. So here he was, walking down the halls with a baby in the small stroller, kicking her feet and giggling. It was odd to have to watch her without his mother around, he hadn't done it often, and it was mainly only for her to take a shower or use the bath room. But he loved Hinata and she was the light of Hiro's life, so he didn't mind it much, though there was that tiny voice in his head that said 'what if she hugs you and you transform...no one can help you then.' But he tried to push that thought out of his head.
"Besides," He said, half thinking out loud, half talking to the laughing baby he was pushing in the stroller. "The odds are good a female Soma is here...I mean...There's Rin, Kisa, Kagura, and those are just the Sohmas with a curse." He nodded to himself. "Everything is going to be fine...Unless Akito's there...and no one else came...But I think Rin had said that Akito wasn't going to be there...that would be nice." He blinked, realizing he had been talking to himself, and that he had arrived at the door.
He pushed his sister up to the door. He looked at her, then the door, not wanting to release her stroller long enough to open the door. He sweatdropped. Stupid! She'll be fine long enough for you to open the door... He swallowed and let go of the handle and opened the door.
Looking in the doorway he blinked a few times. Momiji was there....and Kagura. A sigh of releif came. Not thata Momiji was there, he slightly annoyed Hiro, but that Kagura was there, he hadn't had too close a relationship with her but he knew she would help out with Hinata if need be. He smiled widely.
"Hey Kagura, Momiji." He looked around the room, just noticing that the room was empty other than them. "So...we're the only ones here...?" He said half a question. He pushed his sister on in and took a seat at the table, pushing Hinata beside him. "In case you all don't know," He said pointing to Hinata. "This is my sister, Hinata."
