Chapter 6
morning
It was the last day of december, therefore it was the day for spring cleaning. Everyon in the house was helping, Tohru even had Hana and Uo over to help.
You were lucky that you normaly helped Tohru clean other wise it would take ages to realy clean the place. Having done the chore hat, Yuki got wiping down the doors, Kyo the moving forniture and dusting it, Ou had dusthing the high places, Tohru got the rugs, Hana had been unlucky enought to draw the bathroom duty, but it seemed she didn't realy mind much, Shigure was one of the few to not have to clean since his edito was there pleading for the last five hundred pages of his book witch he had failed to finish do to wedding plans Akito was wanting have done, because of this Shigure was being forced to work double time to finish them today. It was your job to keep her out of his way and get him to work on the book.
So far he has ditched our on her several times and has been forced to miss lunch and dinner. No matter how much as she was torchered you knew ecatly why he was doing it. Secretly he had it all finished, he just loved to get his editor worked up for nothing.
...
that night
"Siwa, Yuki, Kyo it's almost time to go don't you think you should be getting ready?"
"Done." You sighed coming out of the bathroom. Looking up you seen the stuned looks on Kyo and Shigure's faces. Laughing a little you remembered that they never seen you in a dress let alon a skirt.
"Shiwa you look..." Shigure began and Kyo finished for him
"Beautiful."
"Thank you bout don't you think you two should get ready also?"
"I'm not going," both replied.
"Why not, Yuki you know Towa is going to be there and probably wnats to see you."
"I haven't been to that place in four months I'm not going to go now just cause of some stupid new years thing."
"I had my reasons for leaving home they would seem almost meangless if I went back tonight."
"Well I know that I'm goign to miss you being there tonight Kyo."
"You have to remember your supposed to be with me tonight, we don't want Akito figuing out you are seeing Kyo instead of me till the wedding."
"I know." Sighing you got up "Well I'll be outside waiting for you if you change your mind."
"You should go it is your first chance to see your parents in a year."
Smilling a little you heard Tohru's comment to get them to the house.
Walking with Shigure you bumped into Hana you had known this waould happen, since this was the first year she has been without her mother. You couldn't help but smile as Yuki and Kyo took off to be with the girl who was like a sister to them.
...
Sohma family estate
"Welcome home Shigura, who is this with you?"
"This is Shiwa Jenova, my fiancee."
:You actually are ingaged! Never thought it was in ya. One queston she know about, well you know?"
"Yes, actually it turns out there was another family with our curse, she is from that family and is under the curse as well."
"Prove it!"
"Shigure, Shiwa!" Momiji called runing up and giving you a hug.
"Momiji, hello."
"Wheres Yuki and Kyo?"
"They both decided their staying home tonight, but I for one am looking forward to seeing your dance."
"same here." You said smiling even though you knew you wouldn't get to see it.
Following Shigure you went into a dark room. Spotting someone by the window you couldn't tell who it was till Shigure motioned for you to bow.
"Ah welcome back miss Shiwa. It's been a while Shigure."
"I'm sorry to inform you Yuki and Kyo won't be joinging us."
"That is fune that just gives us more time to talk to our newest cursed members. If I'm correct you turn into a raven if you get huged by a male outside of our two families, correct?"
"Yes sir."
"Good and one of you is a cat and the other a wolf. Seph explained a few days ago after we got a chance to meet with each other.
"Now I'm sure you have heard about the zodiac banquit, it is tradition that we keep the animals that were absent from the origanal one out of it, but i feel this year we should make an excepption seeing as each of you is to wed one of those animals going to be there, we can't leave you out of all of he fun now can we?" Akito said giving one of his famious smirks.
"Thank you for allowing me to join in on the festivaties even though I am not yet a member of this family."
"But Shiwa you are family, just by being ingaged to Shigure here."
"Thank you sir, I'm glad to have such a wounderful and kind man as head of my in law family." You replied with another bow.
"You two can go to the banquet now, have fun and I hope you wishes comes true for the new year."
Three weeks later
It was around noon on a sunday and you had just got back from helping Tohru with shopping. It seemed to you that Yuki was starting to get a cold. You had been back in school and it seemed that tomorrow was the endurance run in your pe class. This was the one thing you looked forward to, you had talked to the tearcher on friday and got him to agree to let you run with the boys seeing as you were one of the top runners in your class. Even better was the fact that by running with the boys your get to finaly have your rematch race with Kyo.
PE class next day
"Allright ladies let's get on your mark, get set, go!"
With that the girls group was off.
"Hey why arn't you in with the rest of the girls?"
"One I have permission to run the boys track. Two I'm faster then all the girls and three, I'm even faster then all of you boys. Only ones who stand a chance of beating me are Yuki and Kyo."
"Ya and this time i will win."
"We'll see."
"So what's your record Mrs. faster then though?"
"200 laps in half an hour, that's with a mile long track."
Looking at the boys who questioned you, you added, "But If I did it here it would be about 20-25 munutes (I wish that was true, I can barly do one lap -_-!)
"I so got to see this girl run then." the boys laught.
"Then here's your chance."
"Boys to your mark, get set, go!"
With that you were off and way ahead off the rest of the group in just a few minutes.
As you were running you spotted a rope pulled in front of you and jumped but unlike you Kyo didn't see it and triped falling flat on his face."
"Fuch Kyo you okay!"
"Damn I almost had you! What do you think you were doing!?"
"If I hadn't of tripped you you wouldn't have stopped."
"Haru?"
"Um who is this?" You asked.
"He is one of the zodiac, didn't you see him on new years?" Yuki asked.
"No he wasn't there."
"That fugures he has a terrable sence of derection and probably got losed on the way to there."
"I see."
"By the awy Tohru this is Hatsuharu, he's still in his third year of middle school one year behind us. Haru this is miss Tohru Handa and miss Shiwa Jenova."
"Nice to meet you both, pleasure realy."
"Smae here."
"What are you doing here any way?"
"I came to challange you to a fight."
"No way, can't you see I'm in the middle of soething here?"
"I've allready waisted three days trying to find you!"
"That's your own damn fault!"
"Let's go!"
"This could get ugly, hey Kyo maybe you should just do what he says, before..." Yuki tryed to reason.
"No, I said no, and I mean no, now get out of here, I'm busy!" Kyo said walking off but before he could get far Haru head butted him in the back of the neck.
"To late."
"Huh wat's going on?"
"He brought out black Haru, he's easy to deal with unless he snaps."
"So he's like Kagura?" Tohru asked.
"No, he's a thousand times worse."
"Yuki, are you comfterbal, enjoying the show, hope so cause I'm coming for you next."
"Oh is that a fact?" Yuki challenged.
"Get up Kyo!"
"I've been up, were the hell were you?"
"I'm right here, come on and fight."
"You know this could go on for hours you two don't have to stay."
"Might as well he did interupt my race." You sighed sitting down on the grass.
"Go away leave us alone, when did you become such a pansy huh?"
"You nkow when you go black your a real basterd!
"Oh yeah just for that when I'm done with you I'm going to take your little girlfriend Shiwa."
"What the, your going to what?"
"Oh you know, I'm going to do this and a little of that, and I'm defently going to do that." Haru stated with a silght smile on his face.
"Your sick, and if it's a fight you want then you got it, so bring it on."
"that's so, now like it coward it's about time you came around."
"This realy will take a while you should head back if you want!"
Shrugging your sholders you watched as the two finaly began to fight.
"IT's fine I like martial arts battles anyway, the longer the better, I can pick up more tacks that way." You explaied to Yuki.
Suddenly Yuki started to gasp for breath, "Fuck Kyo, Haru, Yuki needs help!"
"We need im to get to Shigures house,"
"Carry him, by the looks your the cow."
"Right might as well, I mean if I'm going to do this be with someone cute right?"
Sudden'y he turned on you and pulled you into a hug.
"Wrong person, hug Tohru."
"Okay," Quickly he turned to Tohru and hugged her turning himself into the cow, "hold onto my neck so I don't change back okay."
"Huh uh, sure, okay."
"I'll fly ahead, their should be a boy up above just be ready to grave my clothes Kyo."
"Allright."
Running to the top of the bridge you speotted a small boy playing near by.
"Little boy want to see a magic trick?"
"Sure!"
"If you give me a hug I'll turn into a pretty black bird."
"Okay!" the boy replied and hugged you. With a puff of smoke you turned into a raven and the boy clamped.
"Hey kid that's alll for her trick she can't do the rest for you since she is in a hurry." Kyo explaied as he grabbe the rest of your cloths.
Flying off you hot to Shigure with in five minutes.
"Yuki is on his way home he collapsed, haru is helping him."
"Oh thanks for the warning, but what about you, what happened?"
"Magic trick for a little boy, wanted to get to you and warn you before they got here," right as you got done explaining the door opened and in came Haru, Kyo, and Tohru.
"You came all the way here looking like that?"
"It's not funny."
"He still has a slight fever we shold let him rest, Kyo call Hatori."
"I'll call him, wher'es the phone again."
"Put some cloths on first!"
"So why is it I didn't change even though I hugged you, your not related to us that I know."
"I am also cursed, but your right I'm not part of your family, well not yet."
"I'm going back to school."
"Allright I'll see you when you get back." Haru had allready called Hatori and well got yelled at for being gone for three days.
It took a while for Hatori to get to the house and by the time he did kyo and Shigure had got sick to. They had sat outsde playing old maid in the cold for hours, of course Hatori took care of Yuki like he was asked but since he wasn't asked before hand to help Shigure or Kyo the punishemt for not thinking was to tough it out. Feeling a little sorry for the two of them you helped them out while they were sick, not only was it cause you felled sorry for them but Hatori had asked you to so that they wouldn't give the cold back to Yuki when he just got his fever down.
