Everything felt disgusting. Everything was too hot! For Ri's sensitive, weak body, at least. The Sohma family had taken a break to the Summer home, and Ri had decided to come too, for the first time. His continous scowl worsened. He hated summer. It made him want to kill himself. Ri stretched slowly on the sofa. A swift breeze came into the room, but Ri couldn't enjoy it. He leaned back and crossed his arms angrily. Everyone else goes out to swim and enjoy themselves, but I'm left to die, completely alone. This is the thanks I get?

Thistle was sitting on the porch just outside Ri's room, contently downing some melted vanilla icecream that he had managed to sneak from the fridge. His hair blew about his face as a strong breeze passed over the lake and up the hill twards them. He looked silently out at the shimmering lake, fearing large amounts of water, he looked up to the sky to make sure the sun was still shining and the clouds still fluffy and white.

Ri stared up from his desolate bed of doom, to notice that one of his family members was not too far off. Ri rolled over to stand up on his feet, and he walked over to the edge of the doorway, to discover who it was. It is the cat. he realized. The monster. Ri racked his brain, but had no memory of ever seeing the cat's true form, only learning about it from the rat. The cat is the only one of which I do not own, however, it is still him who is sucking out my life. Ri thought angrily. They were all stealing from him.
Ri walked out on the porch as well, and stood next to Thistle. He gave him a quick glare, but then tossed his temper aside. "Are you enjoying yourself?" he asked intensly, not even caring what the answer was.

Miyu was one of the people out swimming. One thing herself and Ri had in common was weakness in extreme temperatures. She knew summers in Japan were hot, but she never really remember quite how annoying it really was. At least the water offered her a welcome coolness, compared to the hot outside air.

Thistle nervously looked up to Ri, slightly pale. "I-I was unaware you were awake...Kairi-san is out somewhere, and I stayed behind to look after you... if that's fine with you ..." He unintentionally wrung his hands in his lap, something he did when he was nervous.

Ri nodded. It is the monster. The disgusting monster. Ri pushed the thought temporarily out of his mind. He knew how to hide his personality behind a mask, even though Thistle probably knew already how he acted when he errupted. Ri smiled patiently at Thistle, as if a parent waiting for a child. Despite the fact that he was younger than Thistle... So the cat is the caretaker today. This will indeed be an interesting experience. Ri stared at Thistle, innoccently, and curiously. He really hadn't known very much about the cat.

Thistle felt like he was shrinking under the heads immense stare. Ri probably couldn't help but stare, he was indeed the horrid cat for who so long had been rejected by society and quite normally rejected it back. He forced a smile, but it turned out to be the smile of someone very meek and timid.

Ri looked in shock. Already the cat had annoyed him, smiling in such a manner. But it proved that Ri had intimidated him, at least a little. How disappointing. I assumed the cat would be strong, and hold up to me. Ri sighed in slight content. Oh well. It makes life so much easier this way, to not have to fight, like I do with Miyu. Ri opened his mouth, to merely begin the barrage of insults and cruelty, when someone else ran up to the porch.
(Assuming you've read "Kamichama Karin", Kazune is not going to act how he does in the book. I'm changing his personality for this character.) Kazune hopped into the conversation. "Hello Nii-san." he said to Ri, bowing very politely. "I wanted to come up to keep you company, but I suppose someone is already here for that." Kazune turned and looked curiously at Thistle. Who is this? he wondered, tilting his head. He smiled warmly, and bowed at Thistle. "Hello!" he said kindly. "My name is Kazune, what is yours?" His heart was beating quickly, as it always was around Ri. He had never been hurt physically by Ri before, ever, but he had scarred him mentally, keeping himself and his feelings behind a wall.
Ri huffed, annoyed at the interupption.

Miyu, who was still in the water, enjoying a welcome refreshment, suddenly noticed Ri sitting outside with Thistle and another person who did seem familiar but, whom she couldn't really place. She also noticed, even from the distance, that Ri was, as per usual, not looking all too happy. "Maybe it's time to get out of the water and get acquainted with the new kid." Miyu smirked as she got out of the water. As intimidating as Ri was, she often got a thrill out of argueing with him. And she felt quite in form today... She wrapped her towel around her waist and got her clothes, then walked back towards the summer home. "Hello, Ri-sama, Thistle-kun, Sohma-san." She bowed. She'd dared assume the new person was a Sohma, since, as this was a Sohma estate, owned by Sohma's and where only Sohma's worked... "I'm Miyu.. Who might you be?" Ri's annoyance was now even more apparant, not only was she closer to him but... She was now actually near him, which would probably have annoyed him more. It only made her smirk even more...

Taishi was also one of the people swiming, but when he saw Ri come out to talk to Thistle, he moved a bit closer to the farther edge of the swimming area, and continued to swim there. He was surprized to see Miyu go over to them, so he stoped swimming and watched intently from his current spot.

Thistle looked at the small grouup of people, and stiffled a sigh, averting his gaze from theirs. He didn't much like social interaction since he had been cooped up since a young age. He looked out to the lake, his thoughts drifting elsewhere.

Miyu noticed the cat avoiding everyone's gaze and sighed... the cat... ahh... he hates me... She'd always liked being around Thistle, but at one point in life, he'd turned into a cold and distant person...

Taishi, not realizing he was staring at the group, accadently established eye-contact with the cat of the family. Knowing that Thistle had probably looked away to avoid people, he simply put on a small smile, turned his head, and moved around aimlessly, closer to the group this time, so he might be able to hear what they were saying instead of looking.

Kazune looked nervously at everyone, all slightly making him nervous. "My name is Sohma Kazune." he said again for Miyu, and for the boy that had just come closer. "Ri's younger brother." Ri grew tense at the sight of Miyu. d**n, it's the snake as well! Why does she enjoy pain?! The sadistic fiend. She is truely evil. I should punish her. I really ought to punish her. Kazune turned to Ri, understanding his pain, but feeling scared. "And who are all of you?" Kazune asked the crowd. "And are any of you cursed?"

Miyu smiled at the growing discust on Ri's face when she'd arrived. She then bowed towards Kazune. "Sohma Miyu, the snake. I'm very pleased to meet you. I hope your brother treats you well.." She then turned to Ri. "What's wrong Ri? Did something bad happen?" She'd felt like laughing. She was being extremely cruel to the God, but every once in a while this was exactly what she needed. A good vent against Ri. 3I hope you and your little brother here get along well. He seems like a cute kid."

Taishi gave up, and came out of the water and nervously joined the group of people talking. "And who are all of you?" Kazune asked the crowd. "And are any of you cursed?" Taishi waited until Miyu stoped talking, and turned to Kazune and bowed slightly "Taishi Sohma, I'm the monkey." He said quietly. If Ri had something to say, he didn't want to cut him off.

Ri glared again at Miyu. "Don't you think I'm a cute kid too?" he asked innocently, not allowing himself to be outdone by his brother. Kazune stared at his brother, seeing right through his pathetic cry for help. He wished his brother would be able to actually speak his feelings one day. Kazune smiled at the monkey and the snake. "Nice to meet you." he said, bowing. " Kazune wished that Ri wasn't there at the moment, because, as he suspected, the family members were a little tense around him, at least. At Kazune might seem to be as similar to Ri around him. Kazune tried to hide his thoughts, and he piped up. "Would anyone like to go back down to the beach with me to swim? I haven't had a chance yet." Immeadiatly after saying this, Kazune realised his mistake. He knew that Ri couldn't swim, as he was too weak, so he therefor suggested swimming. Of course, Ri assumed the worst, but this time was correct. That little jerk! I can't believe he would be so heartless, as to take away my precioius animals! Why? My own brother! Ri's blood boiled, as he stood up. "You're so self-centered!" he yelled at the little boy. "You are stupid, you can't think at all! Why would you steal my animals from me? Why do you take what little I've got? Without even trying, they all like you better than I?" Ri was panicking in utter rage, and losing control. He weakly fell to his knees, and sat down in the summer chair again,unable to speak more. Kazune closed his eyes, to block out the sitation. He didn't respond, from fear. Ri sighed when he calmed down. "I suppose it's too late anyway. Whoever wants, may go with him to the beach.Except...one must stay with me." Kazune looked thankfully at his brother. He...does somewhat want me to have friends too! Kazune thought. Perhaps, he doesn't really want me to end up as alone as he is. At least, not all the time.

"Oh, but, Ri-sama. You're the cutest of them all." Miyu said in a thick sarcastic tone. "Well, Kazune-chan, I'd love to go to the beach with you, but I'm rather tired. I think it might be best if Taishi-kun went with you. If he doesn't mind that is. If he does, which I highly doubt -you're too cute-, I'll go with you! Now now. I'll teach Ri to be nice to his little brother while you're gone" Miyu smiled and patted Kazune on the head.

Taishi was just about to extend the invitation to Miyu to go to the beach with Kazune, but she beat him to it. He really didn't want to stay with Ri, but it was the polite thing to do. He hated to think what could go on between Miyu and Ri when he left them. "I'll come with you to swim Kazune, lets go" He said, with an attempt at excitement, which he couldn't quite reach in the presence of Ri.

Kazune smiled at Taishi. "Sure! Thank you." he said. He hoped that Taishi wasn't too much bothered by his brother, he hated to see other people feeling awkward. Kazune ran down towards the beach, excited as it was his first time swimming the entire summer.
Ri sighed as he watched his brother run off. "What a pathetic little child." he said aloud to himself. Yet not more pathetic than you... It was as if Miyu had gotten in his peaceful thoughts. Damn! The only one in this family that will pay any attention to me is always messing with me! Ri wanted to kill the not existant Miyu in his head, but decided perhaps he could mentally torture the real one instead. He glanced over at the cat, wondering when he come back over. Then, he turned to the snake. He began kindly, as always, although he wasn't fooling anyone. "Are you enjoying yourself, Miyu?" he asked, a smirk on his face.
Meanwhile, Kazune was splashing and running straight into the water. He wanted to get to know Taishi, hoping that they could be friends, but was unsure of himself in starting a conversation.
