((Hmm, perhaps we should conduct a plot. -mischevious twinkle in her eyes-

PM me plot ideas, people! -sneaks off- I think I'll be able to RP tommorrow...

and I was wondering the same thing, Naoko-Chan...so please fix that, Naruto.))
 
Whoa. Sorry. I think I wasn't thinking straight. XD Sorry 'bout that again. Lots of things happened to me yesterday and I am still sick too. This broncular(still can't spell it right) infection is really doing it's job. Anyway... I have edited my previous post.
 
Reya was still poking her food not really feeling hungry. She just ate some of her carrots and other vegetables that Dante prepared. She had some of the meat that was on the plate but still wasn't eating much due the to fact that she had gotten somebody in trouble while another guy was mad her. She wishes that Kin wasn't mad at her. She only want to be his friend.

Reya then said to Kin, "What are you planning to do tomorrow?" She then stuck another carrot in her mouth.

Robert was no shoved into another room. He was trying to figure out what was happening but wishes that somebody will explain what was happening. A rabbit and a cat. Then two naked girls. What are the connections with the two. He was beginning to wonder if the rabbit and the cat were the girls. "That is impossible." he said.

"Hm?" Lyon said as he heard Robert murmur something. He was still holding him in something of a headlock, but he wondered if it really was necessary, being that they were in the windowless cat room. He lets go and stands by the door, waiting for either Rue or the Head.

He knows barely anything...but if he thinks intelligently, he laughs, Nah, that isn't possible. When are they going to get here...?

Mikka locks the door behind her, shuddering from the naked cold. She was in Lyon's room again, and began to tear at her luggage, rapidly pulling on clothing of the sort. When she was fully dressed, she lets out a quiet sigh and lays on the bed. Her stomach growls, but she ignores it.

"I'm so stupid..." she thinks, getting out a book and flipping through it rapidly. Once everyone's asleep and that ****ed boy is gone, perhaps she'll go down to sneak some food from the kitchen.
 
Rue had pulled her hair away from her face with silver clips and headed for the cat's room.

"Miss please-"

"Dining room Dante." Rue said simply, striding over to the cat's room door, and turning the handle and sighing before pushing it open with difficulty.

But she paid no attention to her lack of strength, and brushed off her skirt, walking in and signaling Lyon to wait at the door, and to close it as well. Kousuke would be waiting for her to explain this all to him, and it was Rue's duty, yet again. Just because she was his doctor, she always got the brunt of things.

"Let me ask you something." Rue starting coldly with a chilly glare "Do petty theives know how to cook and clean?"

~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~

Kin closed his eyes before Dante put a plate of food before him. He muttered something to the old man and he nodded but had a pleading look in his eyes that told him to just EAT.

But Kin did not touch the food, and merely said to Reya "Nothing."

He stood up and brought the plate into the kitchen, where he would be able to eat in peace. It was technically breaking Rue's request, but he was also technically still in the dining room, as the kitchen was ever so slightly open to the dining room.

But he sat on the side with out the stoves, and therefore was hidden from view of the dining room. He exchanged his plate of food for some stew and ate it silently, thinking on what Kousuke was planning, letting so many outsiders into the beach house. He of course, knew that that boy was going to be let inside, by Rue's anger. She would not throw a fit had she needed to erase his memory.

He chewed thoughtfully on a peice of celery, and dearly wished the cat's room wasn't sound proof. But Kousuke had taken all priorities on the cat's room, and unless somebody wanted it, nobody could let the cat out. Only Rue had the keys for the inside and out, and he had no idea where she kept it. He didn't think anybody did except Kousuke.
 
Robert heard the question with some intrest. He knew how to cook and clean to some degree but he really wanted to leave the house. He wonder where this was leading. Possibly a job he thought. He did need money but if they did offer him a job how will he be able to get it out of the house. Still why would these people offer him a job if he stole something. Maybe it was the work of the blond girl but was unsure.

"I can cook and clean." said Robert. Then he added, "Why?"

Reya notice that Kin just left the dinning room. She wonder why though. Maybe she said something that offened him like she always seem to do around him. She only want to be with him. Reya then took a bit to finish the food on the plate. She then got up and left for the kitchen. She saw that Kin wat there eating a stew. Reya dropped her plate in the sink and stood there. She could smell the scent of a stew and saw a carrot cake too. Reya jsut stare at it.
 
Kin froze, his spoon laying on the very surface of the rich stew. He slowly raised his glare up to Reya, and asked as coldly as he could

"Can I help you?"

He hated being watched while he ate. He hated being seen while he ate. It made him feel like a pig, no matter how little he was eating. Dante walked in and asked Reya kindly

"Would you like your carrot cake now?" He asked notioning to the little cake on the counter with an orange frosting carrot on the very top.

Kin rolled his eyes and tipped a small portion of stew into his mouth while Dante had the distraction. He wasn't exactly hungry, as he'd learned what starvation was when his father lost his job, but nonetheless, the needles stung at his stomach, and each spoonful quelled one needle.

Dante saw that Kin had slowed his eating pace, and sighed "Reya, Kin dislikes to be seen eating. Perhaps you should eat this outside of the kitchen. Kin can play with you later. Right Kin?" Dante asked stiffly.

Kin grunted and hopped off the counter, and pried the refridgerator door open and grabbed a bottle of water.

~ + ~ + ~ + ~+ ~

Rue folded her arms, and said "I don't think you're in the position of asking questions."

"Our head of house, has come to the conclusion of your punishment." Rue's voice quavered with anger and frustration but she kept her face passive "You will help Kari, our present outsider who is serving her punishment, as her assisstant. I will leave her to explain the details of Mikka and Reya's transformations, but one wrong move little boy..."

Rue took one hand to brush indigo hair off her shoulder before continuing "I will erase your memories without asking our Head. If you try to escape. You will be found. Trust me." She smirked and tapped the side of her head "Kin has an amazing memory for faces, and Inu can sniff out nearly anyone. You won't be lost for long."

She turned and stopped "This. Will be your room. You will notice that there are no windows. You will notice that there is a lock on the door to the outside of the house, but you will also find that not even the best lockpicker can open that lock. I've tried it myself. Only the real key can open this door, and this is the only moment that I will have this key on my personal self.

She dangled an odd looking key with different spikes jutting out in random places off her finger. It was no ordinary key that was for sure.

"Lyon, I will let you find someone to bring him his meal tonight." Rue said as she walked toward the door "Anyone of your choice...except Reya." She added before unlocking the door.

"You will stay in here for the rest of the night. Kari and yourself are not needed, as Dante has already cooked us our evening meal." Rue said pushing the door open before stepping out to leave, "Tell Reya, that this boy is her responsibility, as she seems to care so much for him. If he does anything wrong, the punishment will be her duty." She said to Lyon, before leaving the room entirely.

"Dante." Rue said walking into the kitchen and freezing at the sight of Kin and Reya. She raised her eyebrows and continued "I'd like some dinner."

"Of course." Dante said handing her a bowl of stew.

Kin grimaced and glanced at his own half-eaten bowl.

"Kin, please just eat it. Rue is not eating your own bowl, it doesn't matter that you're eating the same thing as her." Dante said sighing, as he shook his head.

Kin grumbled and Rue smirked before sipping her stew right from the bowl's rim in the traditional japanese style, although she kept quiet as she drank, and insult for Dante's cooking. Sipping loudly meant that it tasted good, but Rue could very faintly taste the scent of pork. A meat she detested with pleasure. She knew Dante never cooked chicken, or any kind of bird if he could avoid it, although she dearly liked the bland taste of chicken, she never said anything about it.
 
Lyon nods at Rue as she adresses him, and leaves the room as well, leaving Robert alone.

He enters the kitchen to fix up Robert a meal, picking out the worse (if there was any) of Dante's cooking. He looks at Reya while holding the stew, and adressed her.

"Reya, if this boy of your's gets into any trouble, you will be the one to punish him. And believe me, you would be required to give him a harsh punishment," and with that, he made his way to his room. He tried to open it, but only to find it locked. **** Cat.

"Mikka! Mikka!" he calls out to her, rapping on his door. He hears a shuffle of feet, and she opens the door reluctantly. He hands her the stew and she wrinkles her nose at the sight of it. "Go into your room with this," and with that, he leaves. He was starving and in no mood to put up with protests.

"Hmph, I shoulda exprected something like this to happen...the Head has assigned me to go back to my room...great." she reluctantly opens the door, her bracelet clattering against the bowl as she looks around...and sees a sight that nearly made her drop the bowl.

"Oh, this stew is for you." She growls, at the moment thinking, Why the hell is he in this room? At least that means I won't be required to...
 
Reya blushed at what Dante's suggestion of Kin playing with her. She smiled hoping that it will come true but she doubt that. Still it is nice to hope. Reya nodded at Dante's suggestion of eating in the dinning room. She would like some carrot cake even though she didn't really like carrots but loved sweets like cakes and she couldn't resist carrots. Reya grabbed a plate to serve herself.

Robert listen to what Rue had to say. He was a bit puzzled at what she meant by erasing his memories. That is imposible he thought but still. He only wanted to know a few things like if he getting paid. Still by the sounds of the girl's tone it sounds like a true punishment which means no pay. Robert frown because this just made his situation worse. I choose a wrong place to rob tonight he thought.

He heard the name Reya. That must be the name of the girl who keeps on apolgizing to him. Makes some sense as Rue kept metioning her name and the connection with her as how it was her responiblity to deal with him. He only hopes that this Reya girl is as nice as she acts. Hopefully she is more of a listening person then this Rue girl.

Robert then asked Lyon once Rue was gone, "So can you help me connect the dots about this transformation thing? Can this Reya girl change into a rabbit or a cat?"

Reya then heard her name coming from Rue for the first time since she yelled at her earlier tonigth. Reya guessed taht Rue must have open the Mikka's door because she can hear what Rue was saying. Rue's voice sounded harsh and angry. Reya heard Rue saying that the new kid is her responiblity and that if he does anything wrong, his punishment will be her duty. Reya was a bit worried aobut what she meant. It sounded as if this kid was her pet. She didn't like the idea of this kid being her pet and was horrible.

Reya then saw Rue enter the kitchen. Reya froze at the sight of her and knew it was time to leave with her slice of cake. She then said to Dante, "Thank you for the cake. I will enjoy it."

She then said to Rue before she began to leave the kitchen, "I will do my best with him."

Lastly, she then looked at Kin and said, "I see you later." She then left the kitchen and took a seat at the dinning room table. She quietly at her silce of cake.

Rue laughed, a genuine one, but it was still mocking and cold. For the very plain reason that everyone had misinterpreted her statement.

"No No!" Rue said in mock cheerfulness "I meant that Kousuke will punish YOU if he does something wrong. We can't go around beating up outsiders, we'll get sued. So the one to take responsibility of his actions, is you Reya."

Rue turned out of the kitchen and back to the cat's room "You will have three meals a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. During your stay here you will obey the commands I give you, and the first one is to stay here until Kousuke releases you. Whether you follow the command or not is a personal choice."

She turned to Mikka, and signaled for her to hurry up and give the boy his stew "Tomorrow, you will state your name for the entire family." She said taking out the keys again and waiting for Mikka so she could lock the door.

She strode back into the kitchen and with a fluid movement picked up her bowl and dumped the rest into the sink "Dante, you will keep tabs on how much the thief eats per day. Make sure Kari does not feed him more then thrice a day. Speaking of Kari, where is she? I need to speak to her." Rue snapped.

"Is she in her room?" Kin asked looking up from his stew. He wasn't bothered with eating before Dante, and he knew Rue could care less, so he hadn't paused with his meal upon her re-arrival.

Rue raised her eyebrow's at Kin's two cents and said "Maybe having you bring her to her room was a mistake." Then she simply turned out of the kitchen, Kin silently fuming at his sister.
 
Robert looked up at the girl that enter the room. He reconize her as the orange haired girl that was in the arms of the guy. He was wondering if this girl was the one who was a cat. maybe it was the rabbit girl. He had no idea. He then got up and took the bowl. He ate is slowly since this was the only thing he had to eat for the last couple of days.

The food was the best he had in his life. Then he stopped. "How can I eat this?" He then remember about his home. He can't be grateful for this food when his own family was straving. He then place the bowl on the night stand half empty.

He then heard what the Rue girl said. State his name in frount of the family. He was beinging to feel like a pet to these people with the blond haired girl as his owner. "Great" He said to himself. "I guess I will do that then. Miss."

Reya dropped her fork at what Rue told her about being punish for the boy actions. She couldn't believe that it would happen. At first she begged the Head for allowingher to come on this trip now she is responible for actions of a boy that she had gotten in trouble. It makes som sence because this was all her fault. She picked up her her fork and said, "Yes Madam. I will try my best to care for him."

Reya then thougth about possible punishments that could happen. Maybe it won't happen but she still didn't want to ruin her vacation. She put on a smile and then said, "Ok." She then took another bite of the carrot cake.
 
Kin rolled his eyes "You won't be taking care of him you rabbit." He snapped "Kari will. You're going to be punished if he does something wrong. That's the only thing you've got responsibility with him. Why Rue is as stupid enough as to put any kind of responsibility-....Ugh, nevermind." He downed the rest of his stew and dumped the bowl into the sink with a wooden clatter "I'm going to my room Uncle." He announced to Dante who nodded, serving the rest of them dinner.

Dante knew that without words, he'd been assigned the task of finding Kari. Rue had a way of using him like Kousuke did. But he didn't quite mind as he scrounged the house.

"Kari, would you like some dinner?" He asked when he finally found her.

OOC: Where is Kari anyway?
 
((Maybe we should try PMing Lily to remind her she is need here? Just a suggestion.))

Reya then finish her cake and got up from the table. She saw that Dante had left for some reason. She could hear him walking around the house like he was looking for something. She then enter the kitchen and put her plate in the sink. She saw that the plate from her dinner and her cake plate was in there. She then smiled and said, "The least I can do is wash my own plate to say thank you for a wonderful dinner."

Reya began washing her plates and was thinking about what Kin and Rue said. She remember Rue's voice and remember how mean was her voice. It seems like she really didn't want to deal with any of them. Then Kin was mean to her all the time but he never gave her a chance to be with him. She only want to be his friend. "Rue and Kin have wuite in common." she said.

Reya then dried her plates and place them on the rack. She then left the dinning room and kitchen on her way to her room. She saw the cat's room and said, "Still. I make sure that he is taken care of. I know what I my role is here and I do my best to try."

She then saw Kin's room and started debating on asking him something.
 
Mikka just glares at the boy before leaving the room.

She makes her way towards Lyon's room, supposing she's just going to sleep there tonight...if not, on the roof at least. Ah, to heck with it. She had watched the weather before getting here, and it was suppose to rain tommorrow...just her luck. She'll be in a worse a mood all day tommorrow.

"Lyon," she says, opening the door. Lyon had just finished dinner and was now resting in his bed with a book open. He looks at her and turns to his side. He merely wore boxers, therefore his chest was bare. But who could blame him, summer's hot!

"I'm sleeping on the ground tonight. That ****ed boy took my room."

"Good for you, I suppose. You didn't even want to sleep there. Bad for me, though." He closes his eyes with his free hand as she changes, and then watches her (when she's changed, of course) lay a blanket on the ground to make something somewhat of a makeshift sleeping bag.

" 'night, Mii-Chan," he says, shutting off the light.

"Don't call me Mii-Chan."

((Let's RP for the next day. You can have concluding posts and whatnot. Perhaps I PM Lily, and the others, soon. But you guys don't do it, it is my responsibility!))

Lyon woke up, rubbing his eyes. He had half expected the sunlight to be pouring in from the window, but it wasn't. Alarmed, he looks at Mikka on the ground...still fast asleep. Strange, for Mikka usually was up before him.

He groans, realizing that it was raining. He had hoped to enjoy playing on the beach, but now it frothed and foamed from the storm, and thunder sounded, distantly. The pitter patter of raindrops hit the winder, and Lyon rises, rubbing his face.

"At least the day matches out feelings. ****, I'm going to have to put up with Mikka like this...all day. And there's no going out to escape. What the hell are we to do at the beach when it rains?"

Mikka turns restlessly in her sleep, agitated by his low voice.
 
OOC: I never said I would PM her. I wouldn't either way, it's not my issue anyway. It's sort of hard to RP when one of the main characters is gone for awhile though.

IC: Rue awoke to a splitting headache, with the fact that she'd have to get up and unlock the door for that stupid boy. She groaned, and turned over. It wasn't her problem anyway. She'd gone to bed early last night, having been exhausted from her explosion of anger. And when she was half asleep again, her eye-lids snapped open. D*mn. It was raining.

Kin sighed as he sat on his bed, a lone lamp lighting up the small room. He held the thick textbook in his hands as he read, rubbing his eyes from the contrasting colors. He'd managed to finish the rest of his homework the night before, staying up only till about 11:00 PM. He found it annoying that there was no small sunlight to shine onto the words, but still, was enthralled as he watched the rain come in sheets.

He'd always watched the rain. The snow. The hail. The light. He watched everything. It calmed him somehow, but this rain...This rain was unsettling. It told him that he'd be stuck with a whole bunch of crazy transforming freaks and two outsiders for the entire day. The cat would be moody, the rat would seize the advantage, the outsiders were bound to bump into somebody again, and all in all, Kousuke's punishment was going fairly smoothly.

Kousuke sighed as he layed dejectedly in bed. Yesterday's frustration at the stupid freak theif had worn him out considerably, and now, Dante had to keep watch on him. Rue couldn't possibly cure him now, because she wasn't to know he was in the beach house.

"Dante. I want you to make sure the boy works hard. Tell him if he works hard, then he will be released without any consequences. If he doesn't...well once I'm on my feet, we'll deal with that later." Kousuke said through a haze of coughing. Dante nodded and left the room.

"I hate being sick." Kousuke said as he fiddled with tarot cards "And I personally, hate the future." He tore the card he held in half.

Rue huffed as she turned back over and sat up. She looked at her pathetic reflection, with unkempt hair and sleepy eyes.

And with that, she fell backwards and continued to sleep. The boy had food last night, he could last awhile more without it if she could. Dante would be up. She knew this as she stared at the blaring neon lights of her alarm clock that read, '8:46 AM'. He always rose at an early 6:00 AM, and went to bed at 8:00 PM. It was a feat, but he always did it. No doubt he would probably be cooking breakfast today until Kari got into the habit of getting up early...unless she was already in the habit.

Rue scoffed into her pillow and shook her head. A wasted thought.
 
((I was just suggusting tha we PM her. That all I meant.))

Reya then let out a huge yarn. She notice that she was tired now. "Looks like I need to sleepie time." said Reya then she whisper, "Night Kin." She then made her way to her room.

Robert went to sleep as soon as he got done with his dinner. He place the half eaten stew on the night table close by and tried to make the bed confortable. The bed was very unconforable but soon he fell asleep.

Reya enter her room and began to unchange to change into her night clothes. She then pulled out a pair of blue earplugs and place them in her ears. She then looked at Mr. Bun and said, "For those noise people who like make noises at night. Do you know how know noise people are when they are asleep?" She then twich her nose.

She then made Mr. Bun do the same. Reya then smiled and said, "Yep. Now lets sleep." She then jumped into her confortable bed and began to sleep.

Robert let out a yell in his sleep. "No mom. Don't leave." He then jolt up in his bed and saw that he was in a different room that he was use to. He then remember that he was in the beach house. He then said, "Oh. I still here."

He then got up and headed for the door to see it was stil lock. Doesn't matter. Not like he able to leave anyways. His stomach then growl and he took a look at the half eaten stew from the other day. "I guess this will be my breakfast. He quietly ate the cold stew.

Reya then got up with and streach a bit. She was unable to hear anything including the noise she was making when she got up. She then took out her earplugs and put them in the case. She instandly heard the pounding of the rain. "Aww. There goes my plans for today. I so really wanted to go outside and enjoy the sites."

She then changed into a white top and blue jeans. "Maybe I can just play with the others today." She then looked at Mr. Bun and said, "You just always sleep in do you?" Her clock read 7:45. She then started to organize her clothes into the dresser.
 
((I know, but I PMed her anyways! ^.^))

"Ngm..." murmured Mikka, rubbing her eyes. She was dreadfully worn out for some reason, and it was not because of the fact of last night. The rain wore her out quite easilly, and she lacked energy. Sure, she still gets peeved, and a lot more often then usual. Already was she feeling sour, and to help this agitated feeling, she was sure as hell hungry, too.

She stumbles down into the kitchen, still wearing the clothes she slept in (which were in fact what she changed into after she transformed.) She knew that Lyon was up, for she heard the bath running. More than likely he was taking his usual morning bath. Opening the refrigerator with great force, it groans in protest. Rubbing her eyes, she welcomes the cool blast of air that follows, and takes out a carton of milk. Like all the cats before her, she adored milk. Uncaring about the fact that others may need milk, she takes a deep chug of it out of the carton.

"Disgusting, Mikka." Lyon says suddenly. He was done with his bath, and was picking out water from his ear with a pinky. He notices her wrinkle her nose in distaste, and takes another swig.

"I know you're in a foul mood today," she groans, sitting down wearilly at the table, "And weak, as well...but that doesn't mean I should treat you in a way that's different." She grumbles something.

"Ever hear of a glass? Or perhaps a saucer of milk for our lil' Mii-Chan."

"Aargh! Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!" she yells, rising quickly from her seat. She grows dizzy from the change in height, and grips the chair. Lyon takes a step back and grins. Mikka rubs her face. "Can't you find anything better to do than to mock me? ****, I'm so tired and annoyed, you wouldn't..." she slinks back onto the chair and places her head on the table. Her voice was muffled in a worn out manner. "Want me...to do that...to you..."
 
Reya was finally done unpacking her clothes into the designated shelves. She then wiped her forehead and felt a bit dirty. She then said, "Oh. I feel so dirty. I didn't took a bath yesterday after I transformed and I had too hopped in the sand too."

She then took out some clothes for her bath and took Mr. Bun who was wearing a small shower cap. "Let take a bath."

After ten mintues, Reya was done with her bath and was headed for her room to dropped of Mr. Bun in her room. "Sorry Mr. Bun but you know that you not allowed at the table."

She then made it to the dinning room and saw that Mikka and Lyon were argueing about something. She had no idea what was happening. She then said with a huge smile, "Good morning!! How are my wonderful peoples doing today?"
 
"Good morning indeed..." grumbled Mikka, glaring up at Reya in utter dislike. "Where's your stupid stuffed bunny? Realized that he was just a figment of foolish child's play and threw him in the sea. Good for you." she hissed, lifting her head up and rubbing her eyes thoroughly with her palms in a desperate attempt to rid herself of the tired feeling. Thunder roared outside, the storm getting closer as the rain pelted down harder. And to think...it was a beautiful day yesterday.

"Reya, I'm sure she didn't mean that...she's just in a bad mood." He looks down at the Cat with a childish grin on his face. But it soon evaporates from the knowlege that he was going to be stuck with this attitude all day long...and there was no escape.

"What I mean is, in a worse mood than usual..."
 
Reya smiled disappear for a moment and then smiled even wider. "You so funny. I glad to see that you reflecting the weather outside" said Reya to Mikka.

Reya then hugged herself and said, "No. Mr. Bun can't swim. He a stuff rabbit so how can he swim? That a silly idea." She then let herself go and then grabbed the milk infrount of MIkka and pour some in a glass. She was going to drink it from the carton but she knew that the others would see her do it so she drink it from the glass. "Anyways. Mr. Bun can't come to the table because its a house rule. Anyways, he doesn't eat and most likey a sleep again." She then laugh.

Reya then heard what Lyon said and was reminded of the kid from yesterday. She hoped he is ok. She then said to Lyon, "I ok with what she said. Its ok. She not the first one to say something like that about Mr. Bun. She just showing how much she loves him that all." She then added a smile.

She then looked at the frige and said, "Whats for breakfest?"
