~Shino/Dog~

I was happy that Aaralyn had decided to come with us. Now I just had to get through this supposed meeting. We were across tge park and almost to the entrance when I saw the cat sleeping in a tree. She had to come too. I turned to the others. "Excuse me for a second...I think I spy another relative." I headed off and climbed up to the branch she was sleeping on. "OI! AIBORI!!" She jumped and almost fell out of the tree. "W...WHAT THE H*LL YOU DUMB DOG?!!" I smiled up at her. "Could say the same to you stupid cat." I pointed to where Kaoru and Ta were. "Kanayuki's called for an all zodiac meeting." Her eyes narrowed. "Pfft like I count. I can't even go to the banquet..." I sighed. "Don't be a pain. You still have to come to the main house." She shook her head. I noticed something off about her. "What's wrong Kitten?" She looked down. "H...he hit me..." My eyes narrowed. "He said I need an escort to go out, and when I tried to beg him to let me out he fliped...." I climbed up a branch higher so I could give her a hug. She started freaking. "H...hey!! Dumb dog!" I let go her go and she fell backwards out of the tree. I looked down and laughed. "See what happens when you thrash about on a branch. Stupid cat." I jumped down and helped her up. "Anyway cone on. I have your back I promise." She looked into my eyes untrusting. "You know I hate seeing him hurt anyone. As long as I'm around I'll do anything I can to draw his anger to me." I took her hand and drug her over to everyone else. "This is my other cousin Aibori. Aibori this is Aaralyn and her little brother Kai. I'm gonna have them stay with my mother." Aibori's eyes widened in surprise. Kai smiled. "Does she change into an animal too?!" Then Aibori turned to look at ne with horror. "Uh yeah...about that... long story...she's the cat that was tricked by the rat in the old zodiac story. Oh and yeah...they kinda found out about us." I knelt down and looked Kai in the eyes. "It's our secret ok Kai. When we get to our house you can't mention this to anyone. Understand. If you do we won't be able to see you anymore." I looked up at Aaralyn. "That goes for you too. You can't say anything. They'll erase your memories of us if they even suspect you know." I stood up. My phone started going off again. I sighed, and ignored it. "Who was that?" I looked at the ID. "Whoops..." Aibori, Kaoru, and Tatsuya's eyes widened. "Whoops?" I started walking fast. "Let's just say that Kanayuki-San is not gonna be too happy with me when we get home hehe." But at least he'll be mad at me. With this fresh in his mind he'll deffinately leave the others alone.

~ hege I though Aibori and Shino could hav a funny almost brother sister relationship being he's a dog and she's a cat ^^; I mean he's kinda like that w most of the zodiac but more so w her cause she's the outcast cat
