I'll be gone for at least a month. My mom has some weird idea that I'm on to much, and grounded me. TT.TT Please treat my characters like temp NPCs until I get back. I'm very sorry to you all.
~Keiko~
“You’re an idiot!” Yumi was looking at me sternly, her arms crossed. “He could’ve hurt you!”
“He was hurting Ami!” I growled back. “And I was supposed to just stand and watch?” I hissed. “I’d rather die!” I gripped the sheets of the bed I was sitting on. “I couldn’t just stand there without doing anything, when I knew there was something I could do to help,” I looked down at my feet.
Yumi sighed, “Well, that won’t change anything now. What’s done is done.” She came and sat beside me, and put an arm around my shoulder, “You know you’ll be punished, right?”
I nodded, glancing at my arm that had been broken by Keiji a few weeks ago. “I know, and I’m ready for it,” tears began to sting in my eyes. Why couldn’t I have been born like a normal girl, instead of a doomed Sohma child?
There was a knock at the door, and I jumped up with a start. Keiji couldn’t of come for me so soon, could he? Yumi walked to the door with a worried look. She opened it slightly to peek out, then smiled, “Come in.”
“Thanks,” Haji nodded, making his way through the door. ‘He’s cute’ Yumi mouthed behind him and I had to stifle a laugh. “You... Uh... left this in the hall,” he held out a bundle of cloths that I realised were my clothes.
“Thank you!” I smiled widely, taking them from him. They were folded neatly, and with a start I realised that my bra and underwear were with them. I blushed a bright red when I realised that it meant he had seen them. “T-thank you,” I stammered, quickly shoving them under my pillow.
He looked like he was trying not to laugh, but, on closer inspection, I could see that he was blushing slightly too. “You’re welcome,” he nodded and left the room.
The second the door closed, Yumi was back by my side, “Omigosh! Who was that guy? Another Zodiac member?”
“I don’t really know,” I answered her. “He’s a Sohma, isn’t that bad enough?”
Ami
Keiji paces in front of me. "Ami," he says, "Ami, Ami, Ami," Keiji sighs. He crouches to my level. "I'm so disapointed in you Ami. I thought higher of you then disloyality." He pauses, waiting for me to apoligize. I don't. Keiji's frown deepens, and he stands, and begins pacing again. "The behavor of my entire zodiac since new years has been...apalling." Keiji crouches again, and looks me in the eye. "Make no mistake," Keiji's voice gets threateningly quiet, "You. Will. Be. Punished."
Keiji stands and waves my dismisal. I stand and leave. I might as well not worry about what is to come, and should just enjoy my vacation. I walk out if his room, towards mine. I'll check on Mai, and then have fun. It's a killer veiw! Perfect for painting.

Sooo, Keiji is planning on punishing everyone! How? *smiles cruelly* he's making them move in with him so he "keep an eye on them"
---Satomi---
I take the stairs two at a time, determined to apologize to Keiji-San. I didn't do anything wrong, but I don't want him to dislike me.
I turn the corner and freeze. In front of me is the room Keiji's in. The door is open, and it looks like he's being attacked by a big cat or something. I blink, and step closer, slightly confused. It's a...tiger? Since when are there tigers here? I look closer, and sure enough tiger. I blink again, not wanting to believe my eyes.
A yell breaks me from the daze I was in, and I rush to the door. I run inside, and glance around the room. Kohaku and Ryu, another teen guy a few years younger then me, and a girl of about 14 are trying to pull the tiger off Keiji, they're yelling the whole time. A little girl is standing in the corner, crying, clutching a stuffed bunny, and staring at the middle of the floor. I follow her gaze and see Ami, curled up in the fetal position. A girl from mine and Ami's school, Natsumi I think her name is, is crouched next to Ami.
Suddenly there's a poof of smoke, and a loud cry. I look up just in time to see a naked girl about 14 get thrown across the room by Keiji. Wait a sec. Something's missing here. Where did the girl come from, and what happened to the tiger?
"What the hell is going on here?" I yell as loudly as I can (which is pretty loud). Everyone glances up at me.
"What are you doing here?" Keiji says, sounding in pain. I look at him, he's bleeding pretty bad, and is wiping the blood off his face with his sleeves. I open my mouth to answer him, but there's another poof of smoke. I glance around, my eyes lighting on where Ami should be. She's not there though, and instead there's a dog, a pomeranian maybe, in her place. I feel myself pale, "What's going on?" I ask again, my voice starting to quiver slightly.

Golly, you have no idea how hard that scene was to write, I must've worked on it an hour! I had something in my head that didn't want to be transferred to paper (or really interwebz)
~Keiko~
I seethed with rage as I watched Keiji hit Ami over and over again. I tried my hardest to break out of Yumi's grasp, but she held me still with all her strength. "DAMN YOU KEIJI! LEAVE HER ALONE!" I growled at the top my lungs. He stoped for a second to smirk at me, and then when back to what he was doing.
"Keiji! Please, stop!" Natsumi begged him, but he completely ignored her.
Mai clung to Kohaku, looking scared. Kohaku flinched every time Keiji made contact. He looked like he wanted to help, but the look on Mai's face made him stay with her.
Ami whimpered, and I finally snapped. I broke free of Yumi's grasp, just to go stumbling backwards into a boy. A puff of smoke surrounded me, and I became a tiger. I cursed silently in my head, before realising something. I had claws. I growled, trying my best to sound menacing. That had caught Keiji's attention. He looked up just as I lunged for him. I clawed and tore at his arms as he tried to cover his face.
I thought I heard people calling my name, but I ignored them. My thoughts were focused solely on making Keiji pay.

Ooh, black Keiko came out again :O
