"I was angry." Akito stared blankly in front of her. "Andromeda needed to be punished..." She turned to the Wildcat, her servant and guardian. "Leave." The look was enough to make Andromeda stand, backing away from the Goddess, she reached the door and turned running away from her family.
"DRAMA!" Hatori glanced back at the crowd before running after his love, leaving the Sohma estate.

((My backstory is mucked up... >.

"Aki...?" Minouru sighed, shook her head, and turned to follow Hatori, "I...see you later."

She bowed awkwardly, before silently leaving the room.

((Okay, I need a moment to work out what exactly happened during the Minouru/Akito relationship. All I currently know is 'something'. I think they were kind of half-together, and the Min left the family and Aki freaked out. I think.)

Akito stared after the departing figure of Minouru, turning slowly she met Nami's eyes. "What are you all looking at?" She snapped, wiping her face with the back of her hand.

Andromeda kept running, gasping for breath as she got further and further away from the estate. Hatori followed her, running faster as she slowed down. Wrapping his arms around her as she stumbled to a stop.
"It's okay Drama." He whispered, stroking her back.
"I've got to leave..." Drama spluttered breathlessly.
"Well then we'll leave, but we should really go back and get my car..." Hatori looked thoughtful.
"Tori... you can't?... what about Akito?" The wildcat stared up into the dragons eyes.
"I'm not letting you leave without me again." Hatori's words were firm, nodding slowly, Andromeda took his hand.
"I was planning to come back... I don't want to stay away as long as I did last time.... I was going to come back in a few months..." She stuttered.
"Well then we will..." Hatori nodded, leading the way, away from their family.

Minouru watched them leave with a sad smile,

There is something wrong in this family. Maybe that Tohru chick...I hope she saves us. Then they can be at peace, and Aki and me...maybe we could make things right. Somehow.

And with that thought, Minouru tucked her notepad under her arm and set off at a run towards Shigure's house.

Away from the family, Adromeda could finally breath freely. She remembered this feeling as though it were yesterday, stepping out of the car, she glanced around her. Kicking off her shoes, she ran towards the field, loving the feeling of the grass tickling her feet, she laughed. Freedom felt good, but she could still feel the tug of the bind that held her to the Goddess, her master.

Hatori smiled, he hadn't seen his wildcat this happy ever, he knew it was wrong of him to choose her over the Goddess, but it felt so right. Leaning on the car, he watched his Drama running through the field, they had stopped to take a short break. Freedom did feel good, he now understood why she was so reluctant to come back to the estate.
