Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's been one month since a girl named Thoru Handa, left the Sohma house and the guys have gone back to their old habits of take out, sea of garbage and of course for Yuki and Kyo they go to school. Little did they know the Sohma House was going to be taught a lesson in "myths and what they know as `real'?

-----------------

In the forest two girls run for their lives from hunters *Crack! * A gun went off sending peaces of bark flying near the two runners. One of the runners fell to the ground the other stopped running and went to the other," Trinity! Get up we have to keep moving! I have to get you to safety!"

: Trinity- A beautiful woman with long black hair down to her waist and kept in a pony tail, Light brown eyes that seemed like they can see straight through you and light skin that can use a tan not used for combat but what she lacked in strength she made up in personality and social class:

"I Can't! I think I broke my ankle!" The other one bends down quickly to look at the ankle," No, you just sprained it, Danget if I could of just protected you like I was supposed to none of this would of happened!" "Jackie, it's not your fault or anyone else's, so don't take it out on your self!"

: Jackie -A Warrior of a different race on earth, her hair color is a dark cherry that shines purple strands in the light and is kept short with long bangs on the sides, blue/green eyes full of emotions that doesn't show on her face or body gestures, Hot- headed and live to fight and protect: *Clack! * A dozen shots were fired, "Jackie!!! Oh no your shot!" Trinity scrambles to get up to where Jackie was but in that instant she was pushed back down as another round was fired," Danget stay down! And don't worry about me! I'm none of your concern and I..." *Clack* "Jackie your leg it's shot!" Jackie looks into Trinitys' eyes, which were beginning to show her, pain in her ankle, "Trinity... you can't run anymore right?" She said in a calm low voice that trinity had to struggle to hear over the gunshots, "I can try but I won't be able to run fast."

Jackie looks around then back at Trinity, " Well then I always welcome a challenge I'm going to carry you out of here so try to bear with you leg a moment until I find a safe place to prepare it ok." Trinity looks up at Jackie confused by her statement," Jackie, your shot on your leg and I know else-were and I doubt" with out another word Jackie picked her up like a feather in her arms and ran faster than the wind, the trees seemed to blend in with each other *Clack* Jackie stumbled a little but maintained balance, The feel of blood on her chest had proven her right about more than one bullet had hit it's target, but She didn't seem to flinch at it. It made Trinity feel weak because she had to be carried and that a little sprain made her tear in pain but as if knowing her thoughts Jackie spoke to her, "Trinity, Your really brave and at times your a wuss at most of the time but don't turn in to a whining cry-baby now because I need as much of your strength as mine so suck it up and bear with it!" Trinity was shocked, "Cry-Baby! Why you, when I get better I'm going to punch you and ... And ... Beat you to a pulp, are you listening to me!" with that, got her blood boiling and made her more angry than she's had time to be in a while but later she considered the thought that by making her mad she wasn't thinking of her ankle and this made her smile through the sounds of bullets.

-----------------

Although she was hurting and felt the stickiness of the blood on her clothes she felt comfortable and as if Jackie would really protect her from anything like she'd done for her family for many years. Suddenly Jackie stopped and out of nowhere a man that looked no older than her-self jumped out of the trees. Tall, with purple eyes that seemed to glow in the dark, and clothes that looked like a school uniform. Trinity tried to suppress a shiver when she felt Jackie's muscles tens up under her. Her grip tightened around her she couldn't stop herself from yelling out, "Ouch!" Jackie looked at her so quick that it looked as if she forgot that she was holding Trinity at all. She released her grip a little but not enough to drop her. "What do you want?!" Jackie snarled. Yuki flinched at the bite in her words but stood his ground. This made Jackie irritated that much Trinity can feel from her Jackie Bared her teeth and said, "I Don't have time for any armature hunters so make this quick I'll give you one shot, better make it a good one!" "Jackie! What on earth are you thinking?!" Trinity was shocked shed even give this person a chance to even pull a gun. Yuki just stood there like a deer caught in headlights until another figure jumped in the middle of them. Yuki jumped out of the way, "Kyo!" "Dang rat! Can't you just listen to me for once! Hey you to!" He turned to Trinity and Jackie, "Follow me, I'll get you to safety." Jackie looked at the guy called Kyo and bared her teeth, "And why would I do a stupid thing like that! I don't need your help I can fend for myself!" Kyo looked angry at this statement and then looked at Trinity, "And what of her can she fend for herself she's obviously bleeding and sprained her ankle." Jackie went as pale as a ghost "Listen", Kyo said in a calm voice "I don't think you want her to die but I've only stalled the hunters for a little while and very soon they'll be on our tails, I don't care if you don't trust me, but she needs medical attention and my cousin Shigure can help." *Clack! Clack! * Gunshots flew past Jackie almost hitting its target. Jackie looks at Trinity and then Kyo, "Fine lead the way she dose need time to rest but I will not let you guys lay a finger on her! Got it!"

The next morning started off as a nice quiet morning and then… everyone woke up. "Stupid rat! You're getting on my nerves!" Yuki and Kyo were in the dinning room waiting for the delivery man to bring breakfast Shigure was reading the paper and Trinity well… even with her ankle sprained she insisted to clean the house and she wouldn't take no for an answer. "Foolish cat you'll never beat me as long as you live so get a life or go occupy your self with a ball of yarn." Yuki smiled at Trinity who finally decided to sit down with a cup of tea in her hands. "I wonder what Jackie's doing? She hasn't said a word to me or even made a sound… I hope she's ok and not mad at me or something." Shigure looked towards the door and then back at Trinity, "Don't worry about her she's fine. She's probably deep in her thoughts or maybe even sleeping." "Ha! Sleeping, Jackie? Never seen her do that before." Trinity laughed. Kyo and Yuki stopped arguing and sat down at the table looking curiously at Trinity. "She doesn't sleep?" said Yuki. "Dose she do anything besides jumping down peoples throats?" Kyo said silently. "Hey! That's mean you just have to get to know her to understand why she's like that, and besides your not one to talk. I herd you're a real hot head yourself." Trinity pointed out. Kyo looked taken by surprised by the statement and then looked away from Trinity. Yuki was laughing in the background and Shigure was just smiling. "What are you laughing at Yuki? If you got something to say, say it!" Kyo sneered. "The delivery man is funning really late I wonder what's keeping him?" Shigure pointed out. "Delivery man for what?" Trinity asked. "Oh for breakfast." Shigure smiled but his grin was short lasting when Trinity stood up so fast she almost fell over. "You guys have delivery for breakfast!? You know that you guys are going to kill your selves with that kind of diet! I won't allow it I am going to cook for you guys from now on! No one will eat take out as long as I'm here!" Trinity said triumphantly and marched towards the kitchen as gracefully as she could. Yuki looked at the guys who both had a shocked expression on their faces and went to go help Trinity around in the kitchen.

Shigure looked at Kyo who was starting to fidget, "Why don't you go see if our delivery man came yet… or maybe you can check up on that Hot-head out side? Maybe this time around you can talk and get to know her instead of freezing in place? Oh yah and see if her injuries got taken care of maybe she'll let you get close enough to see." Kyo looked at Shigure and then the door, "And maybe she'll rip my head off in the process." He sneered. "Well since you don't use it much it wont be such a loss right?" Shigure said. "Ha, ha very funny why don't you go chase your tail or something you dumb dog." With that said Kyo got up and left the dinning room to the door. "Ok guys breakfast is ready! Come and eat!" Trinity called. Kyo opened the door ready to get his head yelled off but to his surprise Jackie was just sitting there, staring straight ahead at nothing… with her legs bent up in to her arms as if she were hugging them for comfort. Maybe she could be talked to? Thought Kyo, "What are you looking at?" Said Jackie in a calm distant voice. Funny since it didn't even seem she knew he was there. Kyo blushed a little and tried to force words out of his mouth any words, "Uh… Breakfast is ready so why don't you come and eat?" Jackie looked at Kyo as if finally recognizing who she was talking to, "I'm not hungry!" she turned back to face the opposite direction. Kyo stopped himself from going back inside in defeat and said, "Are you scared of me?" What kind of question was that!? Kyo yelled at himself. But it caught Jackie's attention is that what he wanted? Jackie stood up and went to stand face to face with him, "Me scared of you? What kind of question is that? I'm not scared of nothing! You got that nothing!" Shigure, Yuki and Trinity were standing in the doorway when Trinity decided to come into the conversation. "Nothing? Yah right I know what your scared of your scared of ghosts, vampires, goblins, umm… what else was there?" "Trinity!!" Kyo smiled slyly. "Well at least none of those things are real I mean wear wolves can be pretty scary… Are you scared of were wolves to?" Jackie looked away from the others and decided to sit back down. "Huh, did I say something wrong?" Trinity was about to answer but Jackie beat her to it. "Kyo are you scared of me?" she was looking at him now with something in her eyes what was it? Was it fear? Pain? Sorrow? Or is she waiting for him to say something, to judge her? Kyo couldn't look away from those eyes like if he looked away he'd fall on his face of into… into them. "What do you mean? I'm not… I'm not scared of you why should I be?" "Okay! If we don't hurry up and eat the food will get cold and no one wants that right lets go eat!" Trinity said. That snapped Kyo out of whatever trance Jackie had on him. Jackie looked away and stayed where she was. "Jackie come on your eating if you like it or not!" With that Kyo grabbed Jackie's arm and practically dragged her in to the dinning room were he sat her down next to him. "Kyo! What part of I'm not hungry don't you get!" snarled Jackie. "Not, maybe I often get that part confused." Kyo smiled triumphantly as if he won something, which made Jackie want to hurt him even more than when he asked her if she was scared of him! The nerve of that guy thinking he of all people can boss her around like this. "Just because I'm here doesn't mean I have to eat what ever Trinity has cooked up!" Kyo didn't answer all he did was smile the whole time. "Gosh what's with you!? Your really starting to piss me off you know that?!" Kyo just sat there and still smiled and to add to that so was Shigure who was also sitting at the table waiting for breakfast. Finally before Jackie can get any more irritated Trinity and Yuki brought out food and bowls. Trinity served the food and gave the last of it to Jackie. She took one good look at it and then poked at it with her spoon. "What the heck is this crap!?" Jackie yelled. Trinity just stared at her and said, "It's my secret recipe that Yuki helped me make so now he know how to make it if he likes it." Jackie looked at the stuff in her bowl and pushed it away. "I will not eat that pile of crap you call food! It looks like sh" Smack! * All the guys jumped in place at the unexpected sound. But ended up realizing that Trinity slapped Jackie across the face before she can finish her sentence. "Danget Jackie! You know that saying don't judge a book by its' cover?! Well same goes to food!" Jackie smiled at the fact that Trinity would even be brave enough to touch her but she made sure none of those emotions showed, except her anger of course. "You cooked a book? No wonder why it taste like paper." Jackie smirked and Trinity was practically shaking of rage. "NO Danget! I didn't cook a book you moron! It's a saying!" The guys just looked back and forth drinking their tea and eating their food as if watching the white ball in a ping-pong game. "Moron? You got the balls to call me a moron? When you're the one who got us into this mess in the first place? Miss spoiled princess!" Trinity stood up as if to throw something at her, "Spoiled princess? If I recall I thought it was you that got the hunters to shoot at us remember? All the guy did was still my purse and run! I could have gotten another one I mean it didn't have any money in it! But no! You had to chase him down and beat him to nearly an inch of his life! Do you remember?!" Jackie finally stood up, "I remember but I only did what I did for seventeen thousand years." Jackie said in a calm tone of voice. "What you killed people?!" Trinity said with anger showing on her face. "Listen I…" This was the first time ever that Jackie looked away from an argument and Trinity sat backed down as if she was going to faint and face as pail as new fallen snow. "You killed people? Tell me the truth… Did you?" Jackie started for the door until something caught her arm. Kyo just happened to be the one to stop her. "Listen, just sit down and… Just sit down you don't have to eat anything I just want you there… I don't know why so don't ask ok?" Yuki looked at Kyo for a moment and then to Shigure. Shigure just sat there and ate his food calmly reading the paper as if nothing happened. "And all this time I thought I knew the worst about you…" Trinity said with a shaky voice. Yuki covered her hand with his and then continued eating.

A little passed eleven o'clock Yuki and Trinity arrive home, just in time to catch Kyo and Shigure at the door. Shigure turns and smiles, "So guys… how was your movie?" Trinity blushes, "It was interesting I never would have thought the mom would end up being the killer." Yuki looks at Trinity, "Trinity! Your not supposed to give away the ending Shigure was planning to see it!" "Oops! Sorry Shi." Shigure smiles widely, "Oh, its ok I already figured it out anyway." Yuki, Trinity and Shigure turn and look towards the door where Kyo was standing. Kyo was standing so still and pail it was as if he were carved of stone. "Kyo? Are you ok?" Trinity asked. Kyo looked at Shigure, shaking with unease, "Somethings wrong… I can feel it…" Kyo said in a distant but worried tone. Trinity ran to the door were Kyo was standing. "Fine! I can't take the suspense anymore I'm going in if you guys want you can stay outside!" With that said Trinity flew open the door and went in. Shigure walked in with Trinity, "I'll look around the living room, Yuki you take the dining room and kitchen and Kyo you check the downstairs rooms and Trinity I'm leaving the upstairs to you." In unison they nodded and ran off. Trinity walked up the stairs and noticed some dirty footprints. As she got closer she saw more, there must have been and gang of them, she thought to herself. She followed the footprints toward her room, which was always dark. Always liked to conserve energy as much as possible. From the corner view she saw her door knocked down. Why would Jackie or anyone want to knock down her door? She doesn't have anything worth value? As she got closer she stepped in something wet and sticky. By the time she got to her room it had a very familiar sent to it. Trinity can feel her thought clogging up almost chocking her. She hopped what she thought and what kept crossing her mind wasn't true she prayed it wasn't. Tears filled her eyes as soon as she reached the entrance… pitch black and reeking of death… Jackie? Her mind cried Please prove me wrong. Without more hesitation she flipped the light switch. "AHHHHH!!!"

Yuki, Shigure and Kyo jumped in place then ran up the stairs. They saw Trinity backed into the wall across from her room crying hysterically and hugging her knees to her chest. Yuki ran to Trinity while Shigure and Kyo stood staring at her. "Trinity what's wrong? What happened? Tell me Trinity!" Yuki asked. She pointed to her room still with tears falling from her face, "T-There m-my room." Trinity pushed out. Yuki turned his head towards the room and jumped himself, "K-Kyo… S-Shigure you guys have to see this yourselves…" Yuki stood up stiffly and backed towards the wall to where Trinity was sitting, practically leaning on it for support. Kyo ran to the room and saw what caused Trinity and Yuki to back away. Shigure stood at the doorway staring in surprise. "Jackie?! Where the hell are you?!" Kyo called. The room was covered in blood; prints of shoes and hands were all over. The window was leaking with blood as if the people wounded jumped out of it. The walls had hand marks and droplets that have dried up. And there were smears of something being dragged out of position that can only be dead bodies. Who would do this? Kyo thought. He walked deeper into the room feeling his throat tighten with every step. He spotted something in the middle of the floor not realizing he was already walking toward it. What is it? He bent down towards it and picked it up. "A pile of clothes?" His voice sounded alien to him. He examined the clothes closer, "No, I-It can't be… Jackie's clothes…" He looked around and saw some strange prints on the floor… Wolf prints? But they're too big to be wolfs but too small to be anything else. "Trinity! Come here now!" Kyo yelled. Trinity walked in holding on to Yuki's arm holding on for support. "Trinity, are these Jackie's wolf prints?" Trinity looked around with hope in her eyes again although she was still crying she nodded through the tears. Shigure walked towards the window where he picked up something drenched in blood almost unnoticeable. "A Gun? Hmm… Obviously they were well prepared… Trinity do you have any enemies?" Shigure asked in a calm tone. "Me? Not really… at least none that would come looking for me but… Jackie… I should have seen this coming! I should have!" Kyo turned to her and put his hands on her shoulders. "What happened? Trinity I need to know… please." Kyo said. Trinity sniffled, "She's always being hunted because of what she is. The legendary, white, three tailed wolf. My father told me stories about her… that she'd fight to protect her owners, her friends, and… her home or she'd die trying! That idiot!" Kyo stepped back from Trinity and Yuki and looked at Shigure. "Shi, I'm going after them… I've got to get her back… I … I love her." Shigure nodded, "I figured that out a long time ago. Love at first sight right? Well smarty cat, how are you planning on finding her?" Kyo Marched out of the room, "I DON'T KNOW! I don't know… I guess I'll just start outside."

Kyo walked slowly to the door and saw a pack of wolves standing there together as if they were waiting for him. One wolf walked toward Kyo, the leader of the pack. Shigure, Trinity and Yuki froze at the door afraid to move. The wolf circled Kyo then threw its' head back and howled. The others joined in the mournful yet enchanting melody. The lead wolf had beautiful silver colored fur with black paws and muzzle, Golden eyes that almost seemed unreal and a brown tip on its tail. It pawed the ground where Kyo stood then the pack ran in to the woods leaving the wolf at Kyo's side. Kyo turned his head to the others, "I'm going you guys stay here and I'll be back soon. Oh and Yuki… When I get back I'm going to beat you once and for all got it?" Yuki smiled, "Don't get your hopes up stupid cat… I'll take care of Trinity because I don't what to be hit by Jackie." Trinity laughed. "You take care and I'll take care of things here now go." Shigure said calmly as he watched Kyo leave.

Trinity Yuki and Shigure all camped out in the living room, Trinity on the couch, Yuki and Shigure on the floor. Morning came and Shigure was the first one up. "Ahhh!!" Shigure screamed waking up both Yuki and Trinity. A wolf had been standing in front of Shigure as if waiting for him to wake up. "Trinity did you let one of the wolfs in last night?" Shigure asked backing away slowly. "No, but it looks like it's trying to tell us something" *Bark! * The wolf ran to the closed door, and then ran back to Trinity. Yuki smiled, "I think it wants out." Trinity, Yuki and Shigure went to the door to let the wolf out. Shigure opened the door to see two people lying on the porch covered in dry blood. "Kyo! Jackie! Your alive!" Shigure said happily. "Wake up you two! It's a beautiful day!" Trinity said smiling. Jackie woke up and gave a huge yawn and stretched like a lazy dog then smiled. Kyo however still slept. "Stupid cat! If you don't wake up then you're never going to beat me." Yuki challenged. Kyo jumped up to his feet, "Oh yah! Dang rat your going down!" Kyo said raising a fist. "So how are you feeling Kyo? The bullet passed through and missed me…" Kyo turned around as if realizing he was alive, "How come I'm still alive? I don't remember I just saw lights." Shigure and Yuki both had confused looks about them, Trinity however ran to Jackie. "Jackie tell me you didn't… Did you?" Kyo looked as lost as the others. "Trinity it was my choice to make. For once I wasn't protecting the royal family… I was protecting the one I… the one I love." Trinity gave a smile and hugged Jackie then ran to Kyo. "Kyo you better take good care of her from now on you got it? She gave up her immortality to save you." Yuki and Shigure looked stunned now and Kyo looked at Jackie and smiled, "Your still a wear wolf right?" Jackie nodded. "Well now look at us we have cursed people with zodiac spirits, a princess of fairies and a wear wolf! We've got a weird family here don't we?" Shigure pointed out. Trinity held Yuki's hand and Kyo walked to where Jackie was standing. "You know… since you came I haven't really had time to fight Yuki. You really messed things up you know." Kyo smiled. "Well if you remember correctly you're the one who invited me in to your house you idiot and as for messing things up you did that by your self." With that Kyo kissed her letting his love show in the kiss. "I'll always protect you Kyo… like it or not you can't get rid of me now." Kyo smiled, "I think you got that backwards wolf girl." Kyo laughed happily and everyone else joined in. "Wolf Girl! Is that the best you can do? Man you practice." Laughter rang threw the Sohma house and of course they lived happily ever after. *Crash! * "Stupid cat!!" "Damn Rat, I'm gunna!" *Crash! * "Can you guys stop breaking the house?!" Shigure yelled. Well… Almost happily ever after.
