"You'd think that by now you'd have come up with a better insult!" He said, loudly as he stepped closer, "all you ever say is ‘stupid cat, stupid cat,'" he taunted as he shifted closer, grabbing at the others shirt, pulling at it. Regardless of how often the other said the words, they never failed to rile him up, something that only pissed him off all the more. One day he'd learn not to pay attention to the repeated words, but today he'd kick the rats ass, finally. How the rat had gotten here he didn't know and later he'd be wondering how the rat had found himself on the island, especially when he'd thought he'd finally been done with the Sohma curse and all it represented, kind of. Had he met the island's goddess, like he had?

"Yeah, well fate can shove it!" He said, releasing his grip on the others shirt as he shoved him back, away from himself. "I'd rather be alone than stuck here with you!" He continued as he took a fighting stance, prepping himself for the fight, only growing angrier as Yuki remained calm. He'd get a reaction out of the damned rat, if was the last thing he did.

“Why?” Her sketching stopped for a moment as she thought of an answer. Why had she chosen to follow the Vietnamese version of the Zodiac over the Chinese one? Was there even a reason why? “…I guess…in the Chinese version, the cat was tricked by the rat who told it the wrong date. It didn’t even get a chance to be a part of the race.”

Once finishing her words, she continued the sketch of the rice-ball in a fruits basket; what an odd request but it would look adorable by the time she was done. This would actually be one of her easier works compared to all the other’s she done for people.

"Yeah," he agreed after a moment, "yet the rat seems to be the favorite," he muttered somewhat bitterly as he thought about Yuki and how he seemed to be Akito's favorite out everyone in the Zodiac, while he was the most disliked. "Makes me wonder how things would have turned out if the rat hadn't been an asshole," he muttered as he watched her complete the sketch. He shook the thought from his mind, not wanting his mood to sour, as what seemed to happen whenever he thought of his gray haired cousin.

AHH;; sorry for my lack of activity, I’m still around I swear orz; I'll be back tomorrow to finish the one reply on here and then the ones I owe on Riku.

“Ah, the Chinese version. I know of that, my parents wanted me to go by that but I prefer the Vietnamese one. Main reason, the cat.” Ugh, how many arguments had their been with her parents on this topic? Too many for her to even care about really. She actually had that conversation with Seraph who went by the Chinese version but it wasn’t an argument at all, it was just a small talk.

Flipping to the next page, she started on her next drawing. This one was of a cat she had seen earlier in the day that was living in the alley near the dorms. She really wanted to take it in but she wasn’t sure if she could take care of it. She’s never taken care of an animal in her life ( unlike her cousin ) so all she could do was give it some food and hope it remained there tomorrow so she could feed it again.

Ah, there’s an idea. She could do that today! Looking towards the man, she asked, “Since I’m out of inspiration today, do you want me to draw something for you? Anything at all.”

"Why the cat, though?" He asked, curious as to what her answer would be. He hadn't met too many people in his life who had taken a liking to the cat of the Chinese Zodiac; even those who didn't know about the curse, rejected the cat, more often than not, not even deeming that cat good enough to mention when parents told the story to the kids, forever seen as the outsider of the group. "What makes the cat so special in the Vietnamese Zodiac?"

"A rice ball in a fruits basket," he said after a few moments of silence passed as he stared down at the blank page she had in front of her.

#destiny!ooc #in which i'm kind of bored #and lazy to do replies #and its something I've been meaning to do for a while now;;#i will probably work on threads now;;

Guys; I ended up making a rules/guidelines page;; It can be found here I actually haven't had a rules page before, but I think I covered all my bases? I may or may not edit them in the future.

Flipping the sketch back towards her, she continued her sketch as she thought of her answer. Chihaya hadn’t expected him to ask though, perhaps he was use to the normal Zodiac unlike her? “Well, it’s the Vietnamese Zodiac where the cat replaces the rabbit. Since I have Vietnamese blood running through me, I go by this group instead of the other. Which means I was born in the year of the Cat.”

A hand moved towards her bag where she pulled out a few color pencils, carefully adding color to liven up the picture as well as a background to the animals. It had taken a few minutes of thinking to decide where the animals would be but the best place was a flower garden, one vast and filled with different color flora. After all, animals were suppose to be free.

Once she was done, she gave a sigh of triumph, moving the sketch in front of her. Again, it had been a while since she’s drawn something mundane and she loved it. Turning back to the man, a question appeared in her mind. “Why did you ask though?”

Having not expcted her answer, he remained quiet, watching as she continued to draw the remaining pieces of the picture before pulling out her color pencils to color in the image. Even his thoughts were quiet, but at the same time, not really, he idly thought what it would have been like if the Sohmas has been cursed with that particular Zodiac, would his life have been different? But then there really wouldn't be a curse, would there? He didn't know much of anything of the Vietnamese Zodiac so he couldn't even be sure and he knew very little about the Zodiac they had been cursed with and the story that they've all been told as kids.

He was startled out of his daze at her question, having thougth their conversation had come to an end when she answered and they fell into silence. "No reason really," he said after a moment with a light shrug of his shoulders, "I was raised with the Chinese Zodiac and in that one, the Cat is left out and not really considered as part of the myth. Guess I'm just curious about the difference."

Kyo & Haru

It’s early afternoon on a Saturday. The cinema barely has any people coming in, not that he minds all that much. It will be another couple of hours before people begin to make an appearance.

While the cinema is not all that busy at the moment, the few people who do come in seem perfectly content to leave their mess behind in their seats or on the floor.

Haru has actually been assigned to clean up duty that day. He’s been wandering from one side of the cinema to another since his shift began cleaning after paying customers as they leave with barely a glance at him.

If it could even be called that honestly. He doesn’t necessarily clean so much as he makes things more presentable for the next group of people. Dropped popcorn gets pushed under the seats and cups left behind go into a plastic bag he drags behind him.

#ushixx #welp #that makes two of us orz;

Why he let himself be dragged into the damned cinema to watch some god forsaken film that made no sense, was beyond him. He could have sworn he'd repeatedly told his classmates no, but they'd still refused to listen and had even gone as far as to go to his home and drag him out, with little to no care about his mood or protests. How they'd gotten his address he didn't know, but he had his suspicions. He'd been more than content to not buy a ticket and just wait outside the theater for his classmates to disappear inside the building before he made a run for it, but had been trumped when one of them had shoved a ticket into his hand, a knowing grin spread across their face as they muttered a "no thanks necessary!" Before they proceeded to drag him into the building. The lack of people in the building only made it that much harder for him to slip away, as he'd liked. "Okay, okay, I get it, I'll stick around, you can let go now," he muttered as he pulled his arm free from his friend's grip.

Seemingly satisfied with his surrender, the group hurried over to the snack bar to buy their much wanted and needed snacks. He hung back, deciding to wait for the group rather than get mixed into the mass that made up the line, preferring to avoid accidentally bumping into anyone, more specifically the girls that were gathered around. Growing bored, he looked away, taking note of the people walking in and out of the building before glancing down at the floor where he noticed the wet trail that went right past him and seemingly lead to the person dragging the bag that was leaving behind the wet mess. He thought nothing of it at first, but the longer he watched the others retreating back, the more he realized it seemed familiar, their hair color and style immediately reminded him of his cousin, Haru. But, aside from running into the damned rat, he hadn't seen any of his other cousins, and regardless of their ongoing rivalry he was pretty sure Yuki would have mentioned their cousin being on the island at some point in their squabbles. Knowing that it would only serve to bother him, if he didn't confirm whether or not it was Haru, he pushed away from the wall he'd been leaning on and made his way after the white haired male. "If you're going to clean, you might as well do it right, not make it worse," he said as soon as he caught up to the teen, and confirmed that it was in fact his cousin dragging said bag, "how have you not gotten fired yet? Especially when you have that trailing after you?" He asked, pointing behind the teen.

How long had the time passed since Yuki arrived here in this new world, these Destiny Islands as they were called? He wasn’t sure because the time had flown by rather fast. He was here long enough to get a job, long enough to have the students at his school know his name and to nominate him to their grade’s student council.

Apart from his constant worrying of somebody here discovering the secrets behind his family’s curse, though many people here seemed to also have unnatural abilities, Yuki couldn’t have felt more relaxed. He didn’t have to worry about the zodiac god, he didn’t have to worry about disappointing anybody back home. And he didn’t have to worry about the constant sputtered arguments of the stupid cat. Life was good. Though it could have been better. He missed Miss Honda. Maybe even Hatsuharu and that stupid cat on their good days.

He couldn’t dwell in the past. There were things he had to look forward to. Like the student council meeting that would be starting after class had ended. When the bell rang he packed his stuff up and headed to the room. They were the same old announcements. Event coming up, funds needed checking. The one thing that was different was the announcement of a new student that would be in their grade. Yuki froze upon hearing the name of North Star’s newest student.

The mention of the name stuck in Yuki’s mind even after the meeting and on his way home. How had Kyo arrived here in this world? Was anybody with him? Why did the cat end up in Ai of all places? In North Star? His mind was racing with the questions that was filling. He had so many questions that most likely wouldn’t be answered. But he luckily would still have some time to think within the walls of Hirojuku Complex. He would have a piece of mine once he was able to relax at home.

He entered the complex and made his way towards the stairs but not before he nearly bumped into somebody that he wasn’t expecting to see so soon, especially in such a close proximity to be considered face-to-face. Even though he had known that Kyo was in this town, he found his surprise mirroring the cat’s. His confusion had him asking himself why Kyo was here. In this complex. At this moment.

His eyes narrowed at Kyo’s question? That was the best he could ask? Why? Not how? “Lower your voice, you stupid cat,” he quickly muttered. “You’re going to draw attention.” He sighed, taking a deep breath and using the opportunity to glance his eyes toward the ground. “You’re here in this new place: are you really that surprised to see me?”

#ningoris #you're welcome! c:#& thank you ;w;//

"D-don't tell me what to do, you damned rat!" He responded, refusing to do as the other requested, raising his voice just a tad bit louder to prove a point. Not even five minutes into their reunion and they were already at it as always; a feat he realized would most likely never change, regardless of their location. "Of course, I'm surprised to see you, I thought I'd finally gotten rid of your stupid face," he muttered after a moment, watching the other through narrowed eyes, expecting the other to give him more of a reaction but knowing he wouldn't get one.

"Don't think that just because we're on this damned island that it means anything's changed!" He continued, pointing at the silver haired male across from him; the others calm facade only serving to agitate him more as the seconds passed, “I’m still going to kick your ass!”

Tired, incomprehensible grumbles barely left gritted teeth; what the hell was wrong with Kagome? It would have been better to move into his city, surely, to stick together and just abandon school. What did she need it for, honestly, if he was going to get them out of this wretched place, anyway? It wasn’t as though he could recolate to her town, obviously. How unthinkable - he had work in that city, decent work that let him buy all the familiar and interesting instant ramen he could. Ramen that was waiting for him back home (which was also just as functional as anything offered in student housing, anyway!); a thought that allowed the hanyou to trudge through the emptying streets in spite of his groggy expression. “Tch. Whatever. She’ll be sorry when she realizes what she’s missing,” he huffed, all childlike and indignant and hurt in a way only his immaturity could fashion (not that he’d let her know it), speaking to no one. The day was dimming, people were idly making their way back home, and all Inuyasha wanted was to go collect the money he was owed from a patron back ‘home’. Shuffling through the marketplace he had grown slightly accustomed to, an unfamiliar scent hit his senses, eyes following it to the source; a pile of clothes, piled together in the dirt, as if someone had been erased out of them.

“…The hell…,” he muttered, though paid the articles of clothing little more mind. This entire island was odd, but Inuyasha had more important, food-related matters to attend to. It didn’t take him long to wander well out of town, preferring to take the wooded, desolate path around Kichi rather than the designated roads. Gentle breeze gracing him, he walked undisturbed for a few paces before another interesting scent caught his attention. It smelled familiar - not wholly unlike the clothes he had discovered earlier, prompting him to grimace suddenly. He did not want to encounter whatever nudist..freak was possibly wandering the area, though as he continued to walk, he was pleasantly surprised at the sight before him.

“Heh, would ya look at that! C’mere, cat–!” Inhuman movement allowed him to race over and immediately scoop up the “cat” in the clearing, squeezing and prodding at its face.

#hanyoisms #pftlol;;#he would honestly orz;;

The last thing he'd expected while he remained hidden in the trees out of sight, as he plotted a way to get home, before he transformed back to his human self; was to be grabbed before he'd even realised someone had wandered into the area he'd been in. He was shocked, frozen in place as the other prodded and squeezed at his face, his mind still having not caught up with the rest of him, as the other continued his actions of teasing the smaller feline. He was snapped out of his confused daze as the others actions started to leave behind a dule ache. At first he'd entertained the thought of keeping quiet, the habit of keeping the Sohma secret having long since been drilled into him; but when the seconds passed and the other showed no signs of growing bored and the ache in his face only seemed to increase, it only served to agitate Kyo further. A feat that was made clear as he let out a low menacing growl, warning the other to let go. When the older male still showed no signs of letting go, Kyo let out what sounded like a combination of a hiss and growl as he clawed at the other's hands in an effort to get free; biting the silver haired male's hand once he'd gotten a good enough grip on the appendage. An action that had the desired effect as he was soon dropped or rather thrown, in an effort to get him off and away. He just barely managed to right himself, before landing on the ground.

"When a cat growls at you, it means it's time to let the fuck go!" He'd shouted, turning so he was facing the taller male once more.

[ crεατιο ] Days like this where Chihaya could just sit outside and draw to her hearts content had become quite rare as of late. With school, ability practice and what not, she just couldn’t draw normal things, unlike the times she designed what her next Zeks was. She had also visited Takahiro just for normal greetings, him giving her a new sketchbook to use, especially with her last one filled to the brim with designs.

This book would be used for leisure, for normal, everyday drawing that she did as a child. It would also be practice but it would first and foremost be something casual to use. Her last drawing was of a cat, or rather a family of cats she had seen in the neighborhood a while ago. They were quite adorable really. Now though, she was moving onto more…interesting and cultural territory. The Chinese Zodiac.

When hearing the voice, the man who had sat next to her a while ago, she was jolted out of her thoughts. Blinking her violet eyes for a moment, her mind processing his question, she smiled and lifted up the book. It was the normal Zodiac of course but the rabbit had been replaced by the cat; the Vietnamese zodiac to be precise. “Just this.”

He studied the page she held up for him to see, taking note of the various fading and thick lines, as they curved this way and that, combining to make an image of what he noticed had to be a group of animals. He thought nothing of it at first, but as he continued to study the image, he realized it sort of resembled the Zodiac he was familiar with, the very Zodiac he'd been angry and envious of. He continued to study the image through narrowed eyes, knowing something was different but not sure as to what it was; the seconds passed before he finally spotted the difference, one he should have spotted immediately, given who he was and what he'd strived for. He continued to stare at the image, almost expecting it to change into the familiar Zodiac he'd known about, for the cat to be replaced by the rabbit, but the image remained the same, no matter how long he stared at it.

"What is it supposed to be?" He asked, already knowing the answer, but somehow expecting something different, "I mean other than the obvious."
