Recaps brought to you by Andy's clumsiness:

Andy and Destiny moved in with Shigure and Yuki.
Andy shot lightning out of her fingers.
Destiny had a fucking near death experience.(Excuse my language)
Yuki accidentally hugged Andy because he was trying to prevent her from hurting herself, but never changed.

Andy's POV

After Destiny made me promise that we would try out what else I can do out in the forest, I notice that two guys were super quiet. I turn around to find out they have been looking at me with a weird expression and that is when I realize that Yuki didn't turn into a rat when he hugged me.

'Is this somehow connected to my newfound powers?' I ask myself in my head, as I remember that I "didn't know" about the Sohma's curse.

"What's wrong?" I ask pretending that everything seems normal.

"You- you shoot lightning out of your fingers!?" Shigure yells.

"Yeah, that is a surprise to me, too." I say, as I look at my hands.

"Were you not able to do that before?" Yuki asks.

"No, not at all. But I have always believed that magic existed in the world. The universe is too big to not have something magical and unexplainable, right?" I ask them.

"It is admirable how quickly you adapt to obstacles and instead of looking at the bad, you look for the good. That is an amazing quality, Akemi." Shigure says, amazed at my sudden change of perspective.

"Haha, thanks." I give a close-eyed smile.

"Don't you guys believe in magic?" Destiny asks.

"Yes, we seem to have no other choice..." Yuki says, as he looks away.

"What do you mean?" I ask, already knowing what he is talking about.

Everyone is silent as they stare of me. I blush under the intenseness of their looks.

"Who are you?" Yuki asks me again, breaking the silence.

"Why do you keep asking me that?"

"Well, that is a story for another day~!" Shigure chimes in as Yuki is still staring at me with an intense gaze.

I look away from his eyes, as my stomach growls loudly.

"I'm hungryyy." I whine.

"When aren't you? Why don't you just marry food?" Destiny says.

"Is that an option? Can I actually do that?" I ask seriously.

Everyone sweat-drops at my comment.

"We can go out somewhere to eat~! I heard about this great restaurant that just opened in town!" Shigure says, obviously dying to go there.

"That sounds like a great idea, Shigure." Destiny says cheerfully.

Before we went out, Dest and I fix the door I ruined with some of Shigure and Yuki's help. After we were finished, Dest and I went upstairs to change into decent clothes to go out. When we were finished, we went back downstairs and we all left to the restaurant.

~ Time Skip~

As we walk back from the restaurant, Shigure starts to speak.

"How can a little girl like you eat as much as you did?!" He asks surprised.

"I haven't eaten at all today, so I was hungrier than usual." I say as if it were no big deal that I ate five large meals at the restaurant.

"Told you she eats a lot." Destiny tells Shigure.
