[center] Kai followed after Aiko, turning his head back to look at Mai for a moment before continuing down to the sidewalk. As they walked together, Kai stayed silent. He enjoyed feeling the sun on his skin, the breeze through his hair as they walked. It was good they weren't too far from the nearest grocery store, but also good they were far enough away for a short walk in the sun. 

When Aiko asked them what they thought of the new place, Kai looked at Mai expecting her to answer first. But she seemed busy humming to herself as she walked, which made Kai smile. [color=red]"It seems peaceful, which is a nice change after living on the estate,"[/color] Kai said in a soft tone, still loud enough that Aiko and Mai could both hear him.[color=red]"Im really looking forward to getting into my writing again. I could never get enough quiet time in the main house to actually do much writing,"[/color] 

[color=yellow]"Well I think it's perfect! And we finally get our own rooms which is even more perfect! As much as I loved sharing a room with Sachi, it's nice to have my own space,"[/color] Mai said as she fell into step next to Kai, a small smile on her face. 

[color=red]"Try sharing a room with Hideshi," [/color] Kai said with a small laugh. Back at the Sohma house, Kai had shared a room with another member of the Zodiac, Hideshi. His parents had also rejected him when he turned out to be the boar. Kai liked him well enough, he just was known for making a mess out of well... Everything. Kai liked things neat, so their living situation wasn't the most peaceful. Kai was happy to finally have his own room, all to himself. 

Mai laughed next to him,[color=yellow]"Oh right, I guess that is a good reason to be happy about having your own room," [/color]
