That morning
Sensei? I'm here to pick up your manuscript! If you'll just hand it over, i'll be on my way! Very funny. Pretending you're not home again. Hello? Come on, you've had your fun! Sensei! Mitsuru says knocking on the door for the final time then groans. Please, sensei! I know you're in there! Don't do this to me! Mitsuru shouts then growls pulling out her phone dialing shigure's number. After a couple of rings he answers. Hiya. shigure says. Sensei! Uh, where are you right now? Mitsuru shouts. I got the biggest craving for takoyaki, so i took a stroll to octopus dude. Have you ever tried their food? Shigure asks. But today is your deadline! Mitsuru shouts. Is it really? Totally slipped my mind. Shigure says then hangs up. Oh, no, you don't! You're hungry? Great! Because i'm gonna feed every last one of your blank pages to you. Mitsuru shouts then screams. Shigure peeked out of his room chuckling. Mitsuru runs yelling jumping off the stairs then dropping next to a woman who was walking up the stairs. Whoops. I'm so sorry! Mitsuru apologizes. No, i'm the one who should apologize for walking in front of your leap... ritsu says bowing over and over again. It's my fault. I'm rushing because sensei cares more about downing street food than his deadline! He'll be the death of me. But, i'm sorry that's not your fault is it. I must be going now. Mitsuru says after bowing then running down the stairs. I'm coming for you, octo-sensei! She shouts while ritsu watched her. Star walked up the stairs with her earbuds in jamming to some bts songs while humming. But she heard someone shout tako-yucky! Making her take out her earbuds and see mitsuru running down the stairs towards her. Oh? Hello there, mi-- star says but stops seeing mitsuru run past her. Welp i tried. Star says then hears someone screaming. Making her stuff her ear buds in her backpack and running up the stairs. Once she made it to the top she saw a woman holding a bag but it was ripped at the bottom. The bottom of my bag broke. This is a disaster! Ritsu says while staring at the books on the ground. Star sighed glad no one was hurt then jogged over to help. Here. It is no biggy. I'm more than happy to give you a hand. She says crouching down and picking up the books. No, please, that's far too much to ask of you. Ritsu says, making star look up at him. No, it's cool! It's good to help each other when we face problems. At least that's what my friend tohru would see in this situation. Star says, smiling at him. Forgive me. See, it doesn't matter where I am; I always cause problems for the people around me. I shouldn't be taking up space, or using up oxygen. Still, even though I feel bad, I'm making you get on the ground and help me. Star looked up at ritsu as he was rambling on. I apologize. Not just to you, but to the entire world! Listen, all of humanity, I'm sorry! Ritus shouts, making Star remember someone who acted like this. But until then, I'll apologize to the entire world! I'm sorry! The proprietress shouted. Wait, are you ritchan? Star asks making ritsu look at her. He then screams. Am I so horrible that even strangers on the street know what my name is? Of course they do! My cursed name must be infamous, so everyone knows to avoid me. I've been living... no, i figured... star says while ritsu kept rambling on. Star says while sweat dropping. Ritus kept shouting when Shigure poked his head outside to see what was going on. Ah. Why are you here, ritchan? Shigure asks making ritsu stop shouting. Then he starts again. Ah! I apologize! Someone of my low worth should have the honor of visiting you. I'm just so sorry!

What a rare treat this is. You're usually so timid. Not the sort to drop in out the blue. Shigure says. Oh! Yes, sorry for barging in. and for causing tohru so much trouble because i overloadded my bag. Ritsu said while star set some tea down and grabbed one. No don't sweat it! I was happy to help. And even happier to meet you. Star says setting the tea down infront of ritsu. Ritsu sighed in relife making star giving him a cheeky closed eye smile. I was hoping i'd get to meet ritchan, the zodiac monkey. Who knew she'd end up being such a pretty girl? Star said in her mind looking at ritsu. So, then why the impromptu visit? Shigure asks. No, this is terrible. I must be intruding on you. Ritsu said. Mh-hm. Shigure said with a closed eye smile. Star used the plate and smacked his face with it. I'm sorry! I'll run home immediately! You'll never see me again. Ritsu shouts trying to run away but shigure held his sleeve. I was just kidding. Sit down, it's a joke. Shigure said muffled till star took the plate from his face placing it down on the ttable. So, what's on your mind? Shogure said tilting his head a bit. Well, you see, most of the other zodiac had already met thour since she starrted living here, so i figured it would be rude of meif i din't introduce myself to her. Ritsu then turned to her. My name is ritsu soma. You know my mother from the hot spring you went to. It's such a pleasure to meet you. Ritsu said while bowing. No, the pleasure is all mine. My name is star takashi. Star says bowing. Ah. right. It's not nearly enough, but-- ooh, you brought a gift? Yay! Shigure said interrupting ritsu as he grabbed for the books he brought. Yes. but I didn't know what fruit you would like, so I got you some books on fruit instead. I hope you find them enjoyable. Ritsu said putting the books on the table. Shigure and star stare at the books and ritsu not saying anything. Or not! I'm so sorry. This must be a terrible present-absurdly rude. Ritsu apogized while freaking out. Well, yeah. It kind of is. Shigure said while he had a irk mark on his head but he was smiling. Star kicked him in the knee under the table making him jerk a bit. Ritsu tried running away again but shigure held his sleeve. I'm the worst! I'll go to the market and get some real fruit. All the fruit! Right now! Ritsu shouted. Kidding. Sit down. Shigure said. Ritsu sat back down but with his head on the table. I knew I shouldn't have come here today. Why am I making you put up with my stupidity? Ritsu said. Don't be so hard on yourself. Shigure said while reading one of the books ritsu bought. Yeah, he's right! I'm excited to meet you, sitchan, so don't worry! The fact that you came to visit me today makes me very happy. I swear it! I'm glad that you're here. Star says. Ritsu sniffs making star look at him. You're so kind. Thanks for that. Ritsu says with a smile wiping his tears away. Wow. she's even more beautiful when she smiles. Star says in her mind looking at ritsu in awe. I see you still take after your mother. The two of you panic so easily. You're going to be a working adult soon; you can't constantly act on edge in the real world. Shigure says while still reading. I know. I apologize. Ritsu says with a saden look. With that in mind, maybe it'd be wise for you to grow a little more backbone. Shigure says. Yes, I hope to! I want real confidence in myself more than anything. And maybe one day, i'll be overflowing with self-assurance just like aya is. "Ayame, brimming with confidence as he eats soba." wouldn't that be wonderful? Ritsu asks. Yeah, that's not happening. Shigure says pushing that idea away. Huh, but why not? Is it because i'm too weak? Ritsu asks in chibi form. Aya's the issue. He has what you might call a "superhuman level" of belif in himself. Shigure says. Oh. i see. Ritsu says starting to lose confidence. Let's start small. You must know you apologize far too quickly. Sigure says shaking his fan. Yes, you're right. Sorry. Ritsu said staring at the table. Point confirmed! Here's an idea. As the first big step toward a new, better you, you're banned from reflexive apologies. Shigure says making ritsu gasp. And, star, cheer ritchan on, yes? He asked pointing at star. Stupid dog! She shouts in her mind. Yeah. sure, of course! Star said with a smile. They're going through all this trouble for my sake. What kindhearted people. Thank you. I will take on this challenge! Ritsu says as they all smile at him till they hear the front door open. I'm home. Yuki says from the main door. ah. Well, talk about your perfect timing, right? Yuki will be the first test you must pass. Shigure says making ritsu jump a bit. But i need to prepare myself emotionally. Ritsu says. Nah uh. You got this! Star says in a determined voice. Hey. ritsu, what're you doing here? Yuki asks surprised to see ritsu. Yukiiii. Star drages out doing an x motion with her arms as a sign to say something else. But he doesn't get the memo. Ritsu yells. You're right! The likes of me shouldn't be allowed anywhere near your home, should i? I'm so sorry! This is totally... star put her head down on the table sighing. While yuki sweat dropped. That's not what i meant. Yuki said sighing. Star picked her head up. Hey! Try it again! Star says in a motherly tone making ritsu calm down. Y-yuki. You're beginning to resemble your older brother so much. Ritsu said making star smack her fore head and yuki walk away. We're done here. Yuki says leaving. Ah! Did I say something to make you mad at me? Ritsu asked trying to stop yuki. Yuki turns around with a cold stare that even made star shiver in fear. Not at all. Yuki says in a icy voice. No! I'm so sorry! Ritsu shouts making star scratch her head. Then the front door opens and closes. Ah. here comes kyo. Ritchan, pull yourself together and try again. Shigure says with a closed eye smile and pointing his fan towards kyo who walked in. huh? Ritsu asks looking at shigure. Huh? What're you doing here, ritsu? Kyo asks while kyo was trying to signal him to say it nicer. Uh! You're right. The likes of me shouldn't be allowed anywhere near your home should i? I'm so--I came to introduce myself to star. Ritsu said after realzing how he was acting. Huh? Kyo asked not understanding what happened. By the way, I wanted to say I'm happy for you. Ritsu said. Why? Kyo asked. You and yuki are living under the same roof now. I bet you're becoming good friends. Ritsu says with a closed eye smile. Like hell we are! Kyo and yuki shout in unison. Ritsu yelps because of there yelling. I couldn't be sorrier! I take it back! You hate each other! Shigure laughes while star smacked his shoulder as he still laughed. I knew someone as worthles as me shouldn't be visiting here! I'll be taking my leave! I apoligize for staying so long. For ever showing up! For ever being born! Thank you for putting up with such a worthless person for as long as you managed to. I'm leaving now and i'll never return. I'm sorry! Ritsu says about to run away. No, please stay! Star says but running into ritsu hugging him. All of a sudden green smoke appeared. Shigure, kyo, and yuki grunt in unison. Star yelps falling back on her butt shocked at what happened. Huh? But wait, I don't understand this. Aren't you a girl? And I thought only males in the zodiac transformed when I hugged them. (by the way star isn't wearing her bracelet that looks like kyo. I gotta incorporate how she finds out.) uh. But you... what the hell is happening? Star say as her eyes swirl in confusion while ritsu in monkey form sat there sweating. I... i'm so sorry! Ritsu shouts.
