  Tsuzuki then looked up to Rin and asked feebly, "Do you think...maybe..I could move in with you?" He looked into her eyes, giving her the puppy dog eyes that were so infamous among all of those out there who had a heart, or any care for people other than themselves.
Rin smiled down at him and said, while patting the top of his head, "Don't be silly! You have a mother who loves you very much and needs you at home to help clean, and cook, and fill the rooms with you brigh, smiling face." Rin then pulled the cart along and said to him, "Let's pay for this and get back home, alright?"
Tsuzuki smiled and nodded, "Alright, but when I get older I'm moving in." As they came up to a register he bagan unloading the carts and basket, placing the products onto the conveyor belt, as they all got whisked away to the cashier, who scanned the items without a word. Then they were sent down another conveyor belt to the baggers.
Rin looked to the two baggers, who were two handsome men, one about seventeen the other probably nineteen. She smiled at them and said to them, "I'll give you both the tip of a lifetime if you'll help me carry those bags to my house. It will probably only take a few minutes of your time, I promise." She then held out five twenties, which was more than they made in a day, even just half of it. The two baggars just nodded and agreed to it, since the register was closing after this, and they didn't have another shift untill later anyways.
After all of the items were bagged, most of them were placed in a cart, that bagger one asked to borrow, to bring with them to Rin's house, and bagger two carried about eight plastic bags, four in each hand. Tsuzuki carried his four bags of treats, and Rin carried two bags with the bread and eggs. "So Miss, are you married?" bagger one asked. "No, the single life is the life for me," she responded as she looked back at the bagger and smiled. "Is he your kid? He looks just like you," bagger two asked, with a tone that sounded like he was trying to be careful at what he said. Rin stopped in her tracks, and so did the three others. She glared back at bagger two and asked, "Do I look old enough to have a fifteen year old kid? Do I?" "Fifteen!?! I'm sorry ma'am, he looked younger than that!" bagger two added quickly trying to protect himself. Rin quickly walked back to this bagger and glared straight into his eyes, "I'm not paying you to talk, or question me. I'm paying you to bring my d groceries to my house." And after that, it was totally quiet the rest of the way to her house
As Rin arrived at the house she froze, the front door...It was kicked in. Wood fragments and paper everywhere. "M-My...My door..." Rin mumbled in shock, "The door was unlocked, so...why would someone kick it in like that?" Rin then looked to the baggers and told them to unpack everything onto her front porch. She then looked to Tsuzuki and said, "Start bringing the things into the house." Not that Rin was worried someone could be in there and kill him. .
Tsuzuki looked to Rin and nodded, "Alright." He then headed inside with his four bags of treats, as he entered and headed to the kitchen he noticed what seemed like a person sprawled out on the couch. He then took a second look and saw it was Yuri. "Yuri?" he asked, surprised to see her heer.
(( Long, but I got through it...For you Dustmop...I did this for you! gonk ))

((I feel so loved. :'D))
Yuri got up when Tsuzuki came into the room. "Well hello there Tsuzuki, I'm surprised to see you here. I didn't see you in school today, you must have been busy." she said calmly, ignoring the fact that she'd also skipped school, and that she'd kicked Rin's door in. She giggled, wrapping Tsuzuki in a painfully tight hug, though he didn't transform. Being 'God' she could hug anyone in the Zodiac without them transforming, though if she really wanted to she could make it happen, even in the Sohma girls. "So what brings you here? Is Rin paying you to carry her groceries in? Speaking of which, where is Rin? I haven't seen her in a few months."

Tsuzuki didn't even try to say his sick excuse to explain to Yuri why he wasn't at school, there was probably no point in even trying to play that card with Yuri. She was smarter than that. "She's not paying me, except in food I guess. This house is barren and she needed a shopping buddy," He told Yuri, not mentioning Nariko at all. "Rin's out front directing the baggers."
Rin had heard Tsuzuki, when he said Yuri, but she didn't make an effort to go to her or anything. She just watched the boys as they put all of her groceries on the front porch. As they finished, sweating, and panting, she said to them, "Now for your tip...Refrain from eating strawberries if they have beards." She then laughed and acted like that was all, as they turned to leave she called out, "Oh, don't be so serious, take a joke!" She then held out four twenties, two for each. "Here!" They quickly returned and grabbed there cash, turned and walked off, waving back as they left.
Rin then sighed as she picked up a few bags full of food and headed inside, after Tsuzuki. She walked up behind him and looked to Yuri as if surprised to see her here, "Oh, Yuri. Glad to see you again."

 Nariko began making her way down the path to Rin's house. She saw to figures up a head and realized by their uniforms they where bagger boys, she smiled and nodded. Poor boy's Rin must of made them carry her groceries. She then continued on not really thinking about anything.
She walked in through the door way, she placed her suitcase next to the wall seeing fragments of what was left of the door scattered all over the floor. "Rin?" She called out. "Tsuzuki? Are you here?" She picked up an umbrella near the door way in case it had been a robber.
What if they got Rin and Tsuzuki?! Her jaw dropped. What if it was those bagger boys!? She slowly crept forward to the living room ready to swing if necessary. She hoped nothing bad happened. Rin could have simply forgotten her keys and became frustrated and kicked the door in. That sounded like something she would do, but Rin wouldn't have liked to pay for the expenses.

Rin quickly walked back out of the living room, hearing Nariko. Seeing an umbrella held in Nariko's hands like a baseball bat, Rin held up her hands just in case she were to swing, "It's just Yuri! She stopped by to visit! Please, don't hit me!"
Tsuzuki looked back out towards Rin and Nariko but didn't because he was being hugged by Yuri. "Eh, Yuri, how have you been? You look gorgeous today. Just like every day."
(( Sorry, that was EXTREMELY short! sweatdrop ))

Yuri smiled. "Aww, Zuki you always know just what to say." she said, letting go of him. For as long as she could remember she'd always had a soft spot for the boy, and was much more lenient towards him as compared to some of the other members of the family. "Who else is here?" she asked, walking out into the hall. "Why, if it isn't Nariko? Fancy seeing you here!" she exclaimed, eying the suitcase next to the shattered doorway. "Are you planning on going somewhere, Nari?" she asked, her eyes narrowing. The cat was one of the ones she wasn't as fond of.
Jun sighed as he hung up the phone. "Today's going to be a long day..." he muttered, digging around in his pockets for his keys. "Kana, I'm going out for a bit." he called to his receptionist as he walked outside. He got into his car and drove off towards the Sohma compound. Someone there was sure to have some answers. He felt a little bad for whoever it was that had defied Yuri, they probably wouldn't be alive for long. Still, he was more worried about her. She's been healthy lately but if its true that someone's trying to run away from the main house she might relapse again.
((Er, awkward intro post for Jun, the Rooster. Dunno where his profile went. Anywho he's hopelessly devoted to Yuri, who happens to get quite sick when other members of the Zodiac drift away from her.))

Rin looked back to Yuri, she felt like she was in a very awkward position, "Oh, ummm, Yuri." Rin then set down her bags of food and turned herself to face Yuri, "Nari here wanted to move in with me, and I told her it would be okay. If you don't mind Yuri." Rin scratched the back of her head nervously and laughed anxiously.
Tsuzuki smiled when Yuri told him that. I am such a ladies man. He then followed after Yuri as she followed after Rin, to Nariko. He saw how nervous Rin seemed so he then walked up next to Yuri and looked up to her and asked, "Is she supposed to be going somewhere? Or is she not allowed to move in?" He wanted to help Rin by moving Yuri's attention away from her. Tsuzuki then added looking around, "Where's Jun?" Whenever Tsuzuki saw Yuri, he usually saw Jun somewhere around.
(( Probably PM the creator again or something, I don't know. )) (( And sorry for the shortness again, Idk, there's something wrong with me. lol ))

Nariko dropped the umbrella letting it hit th floor with a hard thud. "Y-yuri..." Her brown eyes grew wide with horror. She hissed,"W-what is she doing here.... W-why?" She was about to turn and run when she came through the doorway.
"Y-yuri!" She squeaked, her voice had gotten lost somewhere in her throat. "What a surprise seeing you here." She said forcing a smile. Her hands fidgeted with the edge of the coat.
She looked back to look at her suitcase. "Oh that? No..." She lied keeping a straight face. "Where do I have to go?" She said smiling as she began to try to relax and get over the shock. Hearing Rin and Tsuzuki she tensed back up and shot them a thanks a lot guys look, which was a harsh glare. She hadn't want Yuri knowing she was living here.
Nari's father walked in the door way after having just gotten off of work. He shook his head and snatched the note off the fridge and crumbled it up walking back out side. He was debating on if he should go find someone. He would love to see Nariko get in trouble. if he was lucky maybe they would lock her up.

Jun had been walking around the compound for a half hour or so when he stumbled upon Nariko's father, looking irritated and pleased at the same time. "Hello sir, how've you been lately?" he asked brightly. Though he was not fond of the man, who reminded him of his own father, he figured he might learn something. Nariko was the most likely person to run away from the house. He couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her because he'd shared her family situation once long ago, but with her being the Cat and him being so close to Yuri, he tried not to get to fond of her.
Yuri simply ignored the terrified Nariko. She still needed to think about this. Instead she turned to Tsuzuki. "Oh, he's around. I asked him to run an errand for me but I'm afraid that won't really do much good now." she said calmly, closing her eyes and breathing deeply. She slowly approached Nariko, and grabbed her hand, looking into her eyes. "Nari, why would you want to leave the Sohma house? Is it because of your father? Because I can pull some strings, maybe have him evicted from the property. Plus, living here, you'll probably starve, no offense Rin." she sighed. She couldn't afford to lose another zodiac member, even if it was just the Cat.

Nari's father looked up and smiled. "I've been doing much better thank you." He then held out the note. "Nariko has run off to go live with Rin. I'm kinda glad, now she's out of my hair." He said laughing once he stopped he looked back up. "I didn't think she could move out with out Yuri's permission..." He said waiting for an answer.
Nariko stood absolutely still when Yuri grabbed her hand. She racked her brain trying to think of any excuse no matter how lame. "Actually I thought me being here would be good for Rin. I could cook for her so she wouldn't pay for so much take out." She lied. "My father is no problem, we no longer see each other very much anymore." Now that was true, they only saw each other at lunch and that was it.

Yuri was silent. "I see..." she said quietly. She didn't like being betrayed, and she had half a mind to drag Nariko back home by her hair and lock her away for the next ten years, but something told her that this wasn't such a bad idea. Maybe it was because she didn't "love" the Cat as much as she did the other Zodiac members, or maybe it was because she was quite bored.
Jun smirked. He loved being right. "She can't." he said, then turned. "It's been nice seeing you again, sir, but I have urgent business to attend to." He ran back to his car and quickly drove to Rin's house, parking his car at the edge of the woods and running the rest of the way. "Oh, Yuri-sama, you're already here." he said, ignoring the fact that the door had been completely destroyed. He glanced over at Nariko then back at Yuri. "What are you going to do with her?"
Yuri turned, her face still expressionless. "Absolutely nothing. For now. Nariko, you will be allowed to live with Rin and Kairi, but you will live with the same rules as if you still lived in the main house." she said, referring to the protection of the family secret.
Jun blinked, speechless. He couldn't understand how Yuri could let such a thing go unpunished. The scars on his back tingled, a lasting reminder of Yuri's power over all of them. He still had nightmares about being locked away in the Cat's Room, a cell in the basement of the main house that in generations past had been used to imprison the Cat. That was nearly five years ago but the memory was still fresh in his mind. He'd foolishly began dating a girl from his college biology class and not soon after they'd began dating she tried to hug him and was horrified when instead of a handsome young med student she was holding a sparrow. Yuri who had just become head of the family at that time had to do major damage control, wiping the memories of the girl and everyone else who was present and punished Jun by locking him in the cellar for a month and beating him nightly. When he finally got out, he became a totally different person, fully devoted to Yuri and the rest of the family. The term Stockholm Syndrome had been brought up numerous times but he didn't care what they thought. They didn't see Yuri like he did.
((Wow Jun is a sad little *****. Sorry for the length.))

With that Rin grinned brightly, and raised her arms above her and shouted, "Wonderful! We'll make sure this little rascal behaves, Yuri! You can count on me and Kairi!" Rin then ruffled Nariko's hair and said to her and Tsuzuki, "You two should start putting away my groceries, alright? Let us important people talk for a moment?" Rin wanted to talk to Yuri, in a little more privacy, she wanted to know if there was a catch or anything she wanted Rin to make sure of.
Tsuzuki looked to Nariko, then Rin, then Yuri, and smiled and said happily, "Alright Rin. C'mon Nari, let's unload these bags!" Tsuzuki grabbed his bags of treats and the bags Rin had begun to bring in and took them into the kitchen and began unloading the food into the cupboards, and fridge.
Rin looked to Yuri and said, with an anxious tone, "You don't mind if we talk for a moment, in private do you?" She then quickly added, "Oh, but Jun can come along as well, unless a strong man like you would mind helping with the groceries?" She looked to Jun with a smile and then Yuri, she didn't wast to tell them what to do, just suggest what they could do...if they wanted.
(( *****? He teaches the class then? what? >.< ))

Yuri shook her head. "No it's no trouble, I'm not busy at all today." she said with a smile. Of course the reason she didn't have anything to do was that she basically played hooky from all her responsibilities, but she wasn't going to tell Rin that. Why couldn't the head of the family have a little fun every once in a while?
Jun looked over at Nariko and Tsuzuki, then back at Rin and Yuri. "I guess I'll go help with the groceries." he said somewhat reluctantly. He didn't want to be stuck with those kids but Yuri liked Rin for some reason so he figured she would be pleased with him if he did the woman a favor. He headed off into the kitchen, grabbing a few bags off the counter to unload into the cabinets.
Yuri turned back to Rin. "What is it you wanted to talk about?" she asked, like she had no idea what it could be.
((Hmm maybe I'll make him stand in for Yuri and Kaname's depressed alcoholic homeroom teacher? :'D))

Rin smiled at Jun as he agreed to help Nariko and Tsuzuki with the grocies, "Thank you Jun; you are quite the gentleman aren't you?" Rin did find this man handsome, which wasn't surprising, one would think if Yuri would have someone be her right-hand mand, he'd be a looker. Rin slid the door for the dining room open and gestured for Yuri to step inside, so they could have some privacy, "Oh, just a few questions, no big deal really."
Tsuzuki made his way to the front porch, grabbed a few more bags and headed back to the kitchen setting the bags on the counter, making a few of these trip and soon bringing all the bags into the kitchen, all on his own, and then started to unload them all. As he began unloading them he looked over to Jun and asked, "Hey Jun. Yuri doesn't hate Nariko, does she?" Tsuzuki was asking, even though Neriko was in hearing distance, he just wanted to know.

Yuri nodded, heading inside the dining room. "This is about Nariko being able to live with you, right?" she asked, sitting down cross legged on the floor. She looked around and smiled, she always liked Rin's house. It wasn't nearly as large or magnificent as the main house but it just had a certain je ne sais quoi about it that made her wish she could live there too. Maybe it was how Rin lived with no real structure or rules that was so appealing to her, but she didn't really want to think about that right now; she had business to take care of.
Jun looked over at Tsuzuki, a bit surprised by the boy's question. "Uh, I don't really know." he said, "I don't think Yuri really hates Nariko as a person, but I think that as the God of the Zodiac she feels obligated to dislike the Cat, it's almost tradition. We're all monsters, cursed to transform into something not human, but the Cat has always been worse off then the rest of us. A subject of ridicule, meant to make us feel better about ourselves. We're still abominations but at least we're accepted into the Zodiac." He sighed, leaning out the window to light a cigarette. "But that's just my theory."
