H Cubed: Take 2
This is a sort of revival for Hatori's Hidden Heartache. You're welcome to read that story but quite honestly the writing/editing is atrocious until the last few chapters. Because people continue to find and favorite that story (I'm honored…but really? I guess it had potential…) I've decided to start up something new and give it another go. This first chapter will be a summary/prologue with new story to follow. No promises on how great or how often updates will be but I'll do my best! I owe any and all readers that much.

Premise: The Sohma family is cursed. 14 members carry the spirits of the animals of the zodiac along with the god of the zodiac. They transform into animals when either hugged by a member of the opposite gender or when their bodies are under too much stress. Some members are more cursed than others, whether it be by mental stigma or heavy burdened feelings of love and hate. Hatori stands as one such individual. He, who carries the power of suppressing memories, is consumed by depression and by feelings of love he dares not express.

Previously: Shigure and Ayame stop Hatori in the process of cutting. He becomes quite ill and they take him to the hospital where it is revealed that his history of self-harming has inadvertently caused e-coli poisoning. While in the hospital Hatori and Shigure learn that their curses have been broken. They also confess their feelings for each other and end up sleeping together. Ayame reveals to them that he had anticipated this happening and that he is in love with his shopkeeper, Mine.
Once released from the hospital, Shigure brings Hatori home with him rather than subjecting him to the main house. He goes to inform Akito of the entire situation, letting her know that his and Hatori's curse have been broken. Shigure confesses that he must be the most cursed Sohma of all because he loves both Akito and Hatori. He feels that it is Hatori who needs him and agrees to be Akito's slave for the day, essentially to be with her one last time, so that he and Hatori can go free.
Back home, Shigure tells Hatori that he's free. Shigure admits that in order to free Hatori he slept with Akito. He further admits that he and Akito had a sexual past but that any relationship he had with Akito is now over. Kyo reveals that he and Tohru are together and that his curse has also been broken.

There was also a brief songfic!Christmas special in which Shigure leaves a trail of clues for Hatori throughout the house to let him know that all he (Shigure) wants for Christmas is Hatori.
