This was literally her last resort. Her parents would never help her, she certainly couldn't ask Kiyoshi for money, not anyone on her mothers side of the family, and if she asked a Sohma, well then she would have to ask the head of house. She felt right now that she knew exactly what she was getting into. Without a doubt, she would be yelled at, most likely hit. But she needed a house. Something, somewhere to live. And if it could not be done this way she would have to get a loan or something.
Walking through that gate, and those doors after being gone was... So strange. For so long she had been bound to Akito by the curse. Was she giving in by coming here? The girl had pride, just not enough to stop her from asking for money when she needed it. Knocking on the door, to what she was pretty sure was Akito's room, she then stepped back again. Any pain or screaming, she would endure. She was pretty sure she knew what she was getting into.
((Bad... And I think I've used that title before. XD))

((I don't think so. XD))
Akito glanced up from her book. She could certainly quote this thing, word for word, by now. Why she was reading it, she wasn't sure, but... Well, there was nothing to do. She closed the book, marking her page, and watched the door.
"Enter."

Enter. Myra froze for a moment. She took a deep breath, and did just that, walking into the room. She bowed respectfully and knelt down to sit back on her legs after walking forward a bit. For now she gathered what she would say, how to explain. But she had kept her head bowed, trying to be respectful.

So she was back, hm? Anger rose in Akito. Of course, she didn't show it yet.
"How nice to see you, Myra," Akito in that sweet voice, with that smile that didn't touch her eyes. "Why are you here?"

Myra took in a silent breath and thought hard about how to word things. She was seven-teen now and having trouble earning enough money to hold up a home of her own. Why couldn't she do it? Now she had to come and see the person that had told her to leave in the first place. Who had kicked her out, like her parents had. Was there anyone that wouldn't push her away?
"I can't keep up an apartment, or rented house. I don't have enough money. The only jobs I can get are minimum wage and I am hardly earning enough to pay rent." She bit her lip. Did that sound right? Would Akito get angry because she had come for money? Probably. "I need money. My parents won't help. They never have. I can't go to my mothers side of the family. Because I don't know where any of them are anyway. If I go to a Sohma I might as well come to you." She explained her reason for coming here, for what she thought to be clear enough.
"If you say yes, I will be eternally grateful. Like I already am... If you say no. I'll leave without another word. And I am sorry for bothering you." There. That should work. Myra hoped that she wasn't going to get hit. Possibly not to much yelling. Although Myra in her current position felt as dominant as a mushroom. There was no temper left to flare.

Akito arched an eye brow. "Well, you certainly can't have already emptied your bank account. I haven't refilled it, but it should have plenty of money in it, unless you wasted it. So, maybe you brought this upon yourself. Therefore, why should I help you?" Akito's look was dark, a twisted smirk playing on her face.

Myra sat up straighter and met Akito's eyes.
"I didn't have a lot of money to begin with. Formerly my parents took advantage of me being a Zodiac. Then of me living in the main house. Or at least getting money from you." She said sighing.
"It's not like I wasted it buying crap I don't need. Not that any of this matters to you." She added looking down. Why did she think Akito would help her? It was stupid to hope like that. A foolish hope. Considering Akito thought pretty much on the same path as her parents. That she was worthless. If Kiyoshi wasn't so worried about biting her she could ask him if she could stay at his house for a while. At least till she had enough money.
"I haven't done anything to make you dislike me that I know of. At least before the curse broke." Not that telling Akito that Myra knew about his, or rather her, secret would help anything. But still, Myra had not told anyone Akito's secret. She was trustworthy. Or would AKito see it as blackmail? Yeah, right. Like Myra would think of ever doing that to her most hated enemy, which happened to be her father but that's beside the point.
"Or is it just because of my gender that you dislike me? Because you think I'm like your mother or something?" She sighed again. A quiet sigh, hardly noticeable. Now she just stared at the floor.
((Hm... I think Myra needs to mention some time that she found out about Aki being a girl. XD))

((XD Yes. I don't think Akito would stop her from leaving, but I don't want this to be the end of the thread. What naow?))

Akito's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smirk vanished. This was an unexpected turn.
"What do you know about my mother?" Oddly enough, a reasonable question. Akito didn't tend to ask those, not often. But really, few Sohmas knew anything about Ren at all, except for the fact that she was Akito's mother. There was only a handful that knew Ren's true nature, as opposed to what she acted like: Kind, friendly.

How to explain?
"That day I saw you in the woods, when I was walking back I heard Devon and Kureno speaking about you. As a female. Later, a day or so... I figured since Hatori was the family doctor he would have to know why... He told me it was because of your mother. Otherwise, I haven't told anyone."
Well just perfect. That sounded really stupid and a bit shallow. Myra didn't like how thrown together that had been. But there was no changing it.
((I don't like it either Myra, but we've all got to deal with it. XD))

((XD))
Akito looked positively shocked. "You... you know?" She was furious that Hatori would tell Myra, instead of simply saying she must have heard the conversation falsely. Why didn't he?! This was supposed to be a secret. But now it was getting so hard to keep. Why? She felt so stupid that she couldn't bring herself to say anything else, and was annoyed at the shocked expression that she felt on her face. But she couldn't change it.
((Poor Akito. People keep findint out!))

"Yes. And don't go thinking Hatori told me. I asked why you dressed and acted like a male. Not whether you were male or female." Myra added looking back up keeping her expression blank enough. Her voice calm and controlled. It seemed Akito saw no reason what so ever to trust Myra. So Myra figured staying calm and collected was the best way to speak to Akito. Still, Myra thought she was trustworthy. The only outsider to ever find out about her being in the Zodiac was Kiyoshi. And they were close enough that she was positive he would never tell anyone about the curse. Not to mention now, she hadn't told anyone Akito's secret. Myra realized how secretive her life was and frowned. Vampires, curses, parents, and werewolves... Oh my. Probably more that she couldn't quite recall at the moment. The thing was, she had kept these secrets. So she was trustworthy. Right?
The girl started to wonder if she was just trying to convince herself this...

"He still told you," Akito responded coldly. Of course, she couldn't do anything about that. Not anymore, not now that Hatori was a vampire, and free. Free from her... Would he ever return?

"So what? What's the big deal? Why do you have to know every single little thing?" Myra said shaking her head. None of it seemed that big of a deal. Well, aside from Akito's secret. But if Myra already knew, why did it matter? She sighed and frowned.
"Hatori's a vampire. You can't hurt him anyway." She added tersely. Then she realized who she sounded like and her eyes widened. Her mother. That women who disowned her just as well as her father. And here she was sounding like the person that was supposed to be her mother.
"I sound like my mother..." She muttered mostly to herself. But she looked down again and her eyes simply stayed staring at the floor.

((I don't know... Have Akito get aggravated and yell at her or hit her or something. You have permission to hurt her. XD
Myra: What?! 0.0 Did I just get sold out?
Me: Yes. I'm so sorry. But she needs ideas.
Myra: S***...))

Akito didn't really hear what Myra mumbled, or notice that she looked apologetic. What the girl had said had angered her too much to really pay attention. She was on her feet in a matter of seconds, hand colliding with flesh on the girl's face, creating the satisfying sound of a smack.
"You think you can talk to me however you like just because you're not cursed anymore and you've moved out! But you are still a Sohma, and I am still the head of your family! You have no right to speak to me in such a way, you stupid b****!" Akito roared, towering over the girl now, glaring down with fiery, unforgiving eyes.

Myra put her hand to the side so she could catch herself from falling over. Well, she had expected this much. Just not for this reason. She felt some blood in her mouth but lowered her head and swallowed it gagging slightly. How did Kiyoshi think that she tasted good? She coughed a bit unhappy with her decision not to spit it out.
"I didn't mean it disrespectfully." She said tensing up; her head still bowed to where her hair fell over her eyes. Her eyes remained focused on the ground. Yelling went with hitting. That was always the case. Still, this didn't hurt as much as being bitten by a vampire. The venom felt like fire. Burning you from the inside out. It was painful. She was glad she hadn't had to deal with three days of that. And glad that she hadn't been bitten the other day when Kiyoshi had been over... But Akito still hit hard. So it still hurt.
She looked up slowly looking at Akito as though trying to figure something out. What was it that Ren does to make Akito so angry?
"Is your mother like this?" She questioned still looking at Akito. Her voice was flat. Emotionless. There was no emotion available for that question and this moment. At least not one that Myra could spare. Aside from temper. But that would turn things to h*** in Myra's eyes.

"That's none of your business," Akito snapped. "But I'm nothing like her! Don't ask me something like that!"
((Angry Aki. x3))
