If Ayame was entirely honest, he had no idea what to do in a situation like this. All he knew that it his heart absolutely ached to see his brother consumed by fear. He was the wrong person to handle this, and part of him wished that Hatori was nearby, he would know what to do in a situation like this. Though he forced a deep breath, and very carefully moved a little closer to his brother, trying to figure out what to say in order to snap him back into reality. 

“Yuki.. it’s going to be okay, listen to my voice. You are safe, I won’t let anything happen to you baby brother.” that was a promise, one he absolutely planned to keep. It wasn’t rocket science to figure out what could possibly put his brother into such a state, and there was a part of him that was so thankful that Akito wouldn’t go anywhere near him. As long as Yuki was by his side, his younger brother should be all means be safe from Akito. 

He blinked a bit when Yuki launched himself into Ayame’s chest, but he didn’t turn the other way. Instead he very gently wrapped his arms around the younger Sohma in a protective hold. He would stay this way for as long as the younger boy needed, managing to stay calm and relaxed so unlike his usual self. 

“hello, kisa.” he greeted the member of his family with a smile when he heard her voice. such a sweet girl. as much as he does not want to be a part of the zodiac, he really loves his family. everyone cares for one another. despite a handful of them getting at each other’s throats but that is what family does, right? or, at least his chaotic family does.

“i’m sorry i got back so late.” he could already smell that dinner was being made. probably by tohru. unless kyo decided to get into the kitchen, being impatient as ever. lord knows that shigure wouldn’t even step foot in there. “i had things to finish up at the school.”

kisa shook her head. “oh no, it’s alright. tohru-onee said you had important student council work!” even thought she was a member of the zodiac, until recently kisa only interacted with yuki during the new year so she was still a little shy around the older boy. but she wanted to get to know him better.

“Yes, thank you,” Kisa said, smiling softly. She was spending the weekend at Shigure-Oji’s house which meant she got to get to spend time with not only Tohru-onee but also her two cousins she didn’t get to see very often. “Oh!” Kisa quickly pulled out a box from the bag she’d brought with her. “I made these cookies with mom after school. As a thank you for having me for the weekend. I hope you like them, Yuki.”

did she want to be sitting here, sharing a table with yuki? not really, but then again, when did she get what she wanted? tohru was busy changing out of her school uniform, or getting food, or just charming local birds. whatever it was that girl did when she first got home. and so, here rin was. “what do you want?”

      ❛ you think so? ❜ good eye now focuses on the bangs so eloquently draping over the bad one before offering naught but a shrug. akito preferred when his hair was long, and not that he felt any differently over the matter, but perhaps it was getting a little out of hand. fingers lift to card through, watching as it falls back into place. when would he ever have the time to get it cut, and who would even do it? he’s certain akito would not be pleased knowing hatori was going to outside means. finally the dragon shrugs, resigning to rejection.

Rin loved her mom, but for some reason lately she had been keeping an extra close eye on her, and that made sneaking off (which was Rin’s favorite hobby) difficult. So the first time her mother got distracted, Rin quickly snuck out and headed towards the wall to that separated the Outer and  Inner compound. She wasn’t allowed on the far side normally, but she often heard children's voices and she just had a nagging feeling she needed to see what was on the other side.

Luckily, Rin was agile and quickly climbed the wall. Softly, she landed on the ground and without a second though she headed towards the nearest building. It was small and unspectacular, not something she would have imagined for the Inner Family, but something about it drew her in and soon she found herself sneaking through the side door. Soft foot falls traveled down the hall as she followed the sound of...crying? That was it, she was sure she heard someone crying somewhere close by and she was determined to find the source.  As she got closer she was sure it was a child crying and she picked up the pace a little.

“Um, hello?” Rin called out softly as she made it to the end of a long, winding hall and slowly pushed aside the door. “Hello? Are you okay in there?”
