Nami stayed silent, patiently waiting for the skittish wildcat to let it all out. She knew this was the best method.

"She was only a kid...eleven years ago...She was the head of the family... I thought he would choose her o...over me..." Andromeda stifled a Sob. "I ruined her childhood." The wildcat fell silent.

Nami laid a comforting arm over the wildcat's shoulders.

"You were a child. You weren't to know what she would become."

"I wasn't....I wasn't though..." The wildcat whimpered.

----FLASHBACK----

Andromeda watched as the eleven year old walked hand in hand with Hatori. He said that he had been made to. He didn't seem to mind or seem to notice that the wildcat was sinking into the shadows, tears running down her face.

It was later that night when she acted. Walking into the head of the household's room. Sitting on Akito's bed, Andromeda watched her stare. It was rare for the wildcat to visit during the night.
"Yes... Annie-chan? Onii-chan.. what is it?" Akito called her older sister, that should have mad her stop and think but it didn't
"Akito... Stay away from Hatori..." The wildcat's voice was a growl.
"Why?" Akito had that look in her eye, the one that said I know I'm the head of the family, I'm better then you.
"HE'S MINE!" Breathing deeply the wildcat controlled herself. "Besides he doesn't like you -she stared out the window- no male does... your not feminie enough, they only act like they do because your the head of the household..." She trailed off at the sound of a sob, as Andromeda turned to look at the childe the blast of energy hit her. That was when the wildcat stood and walked out, not looking back.

----END FLASHBACK----


Andromeda blinked. "Now you know...how pathetic I am and have been..." She stared as a rain drop splattered on her nose.

Before she knew it, Minouru had drifted asleep, head resting against the window pane. For the time being, Andromeda's problema didn't concern her.
