Yeah. Another Furuba fic. But this one will be multi chaptered so lets see how i do.

..:~: Tohru POV :~:..

I always love coming to the park. Even when it rains. On sunny days the park is filled with children and people and it's just so alive. One rainy days not many people come but you can appreciate the simple beauty of the scenery of wet grass and tiny liquid crystals falling from the leaves if trees.

Today is one of those rainy days. I take a deep breath and smell the air. I love the smell of rain. My mom said I was born on a rainy day. Usually it's considered an omen but I've only ever had good days on the wet days.

I walked along the soft ground until I saw something run by me. It looked like a cat. I turned around and saw a ball of black and orange fur under a tree. When I went closer I realized it was a small tiger.

A tiger. In this area? A tiger?

It looked pretty harmless so I slowly walked over to it. The closer I got the more clearly I could see it's face.

…It's so CUTE!

I smile and squat next to it, lightly petting it's head. It flinched and looked up at me.

"Are you okay?" I ask it. The tiger put it's head down so I think the rain is making it feel tired. That's it. I'm taking it home. "You're coming with me." I said about to pick it up. The tiger starts to panic and backs away from me.

"It's okay. I won't hurt you. I promise." I smile. It stares at me apprehensively for a couple minutes until it relaxes and licks my fingers. My smile widens as I take the small bundle in my arms and start walking home.

I live with my grandfather ever since my mother died. We live in a medium sized house and it's only the two of us. He calls me by my mother's name, Kyoko. I tell him my name is Tohru but he still calls me Kyoko. I'm actually getting used to it.

When I get home my grandfather isn't home so that's a relief. It'd be a little weird to explain why I have a tiger in my arms.

I place the tiger on my bed and tell it, "I'll get you some milk and a towel, okay?" It looks up as if to answer 'Yes'. I smile and go downstairs to the kitchen to warm some milk in a bowl. Then I go back upstairs to get a towel from the closet. As I do this I hear a poof from my room. What was that?

I place the milk and towel down and open the door to my room. On my bed I see a girl about 13 years old with orange hair the same shade as the tiger. Even her eyes are the same color as the tigers. I notice she looks extremely panicked and that she's using my sheets to cover her seemingly bare figure. I would get her something to where but first of all, where did she come from?

"Um…I…you see…" she tries to explain but what can she say? That she was the tiger from just a few minutes ago. That's impossible! And yet it's the only thing possible at this moment.

"I…uh…first let me get you something to wear." I tell her. How am I so calm? She nods but still looks worried. Probably trying to think about what to tell me.

I go into my closet and look for the largest shirt I have so she can where it as a dress. I don't think any of my skirts, shorts, or jeans would fit her. I find a button up that reached about four inches above my knees but it would fit her perfectly. I hand it to her and ask, "Are you hungry?" She shook her head and I left her in the room to change. I went downstairs and warmed the milk again but this time in a glass and got a plate with some cookies and went back to my room. She was finished and was sitting on my bed. She was biting her lip and looked nervous as I gave her the snack. I smiled and told her, "Go on. It's not poisoned if that's what you're worried about."

She smiles a little and starts nibbling on a cookie. It was then I realized…she was so adorable now too!

"I'm Tohru Honda." I tell her sounding as pleasant as I could. "What's your name?"

She hesitates but the says, "I'm Kisa Sohma. Thank you for the snack." I grin at her. Even her voice is cute. Sohma? I think I have a couple classmates by that name. But I think I should stop holding this off.

"So…do you want to tell me about…this? Whatever it is." I ask her. She looks nervous again. As if she's deliberating something.

"Before I tell you, you should really know. You can't tell anyone about this. Not even everyone in the Sohma family know about this." she says urgently. I nod for her to go ahead.

"Okay. First I need to ask you, how much do you now about curses?" Curses. Now I get it. If I know Hana's little brother then I definitely know about curses.

"Oh. So that's it." I say. He face lights up a little. "So you know about them?" I nod and say, "But nothing like this. How did you become a tiger?"

"I'll get to that. So what about the Zodiac Legend?" The…no way.

"I love the Zodiac Legend. My mom would tell me story when I was a kid. It was so sad though, how the cat was treated. I loved the cat so much that I actually told my mom that I'd stop being the year of the dog and become the year of the cat!" I told her excitedly. I really love the Zodiac Legend.

Kisa was grinning widely as I said this. "Really? Well I wonder how he's react to this if he heard that." she murmured the last part. He?

"Okay. So you know the story. That's good. Basically the Sohma family is cursed. There are 13 of us who are cursed because even though the cat isn't part of the zodiac it was still in the legend. Anyway it's called the Curse of the Zodiac because anyone who is hugged by a member of the opposite gender turns into their zodiac animal. But it doesn't happen if a member of the zodiac hugs another member." she said. Wow. Wait. If they are hugged by a member of the opposite gender then…

"So when you transformed it was because someone hugged you?" She said no one was supposed to know. "Well actually sometimes if we are really sick or really tired we also transformed. I don't really handle the rain very well most of the time so I transformed then. No one hugged me so no one found out. Except for you, that is." Oh.

"So now that I know what's going to happen? Won't you get in trouble?" I asked her, worried. I wouldn't want her to get in trouble.

"Usually when someone who isn't supposed to know finds out, their memories are erased." she said sadly. My eyes widened.

"Erased? How?" I asked.

"There is a member of the zodiac who has the ability to erase memories. He's had to do it a couple times before and it's not a happy story." Now she looked like she was about to cry. I couldn't take it. So I hugged her.

She seemed really surprised but after a minute she hugged me back. She didn't cry but she still needed it.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"It's not really my story. But you should know that because you know about the curse Akito has to know." she said warily.

"Who's Akito?" I asked. She was really nervous.

"You know how in the legend God called for the banquet?" she asked. I nodded. She doesn't mean…

"Akito is that God. He rules over all of us. Every one of the Sohma's. So if you know about the curse then he has to decide if you lose or keep your memories." she explained.

God. That's really amazing. Then I her the doorbell ring. I was confused. Grandpa shouldn't be back yet. I went downstairs and Kisa followed me with a sheepish look on her face. I told her to wait by the stairs and went to open the door.

When I opened it I got a pretty big surprise. "Kyo Sohma?" I asked. He looked surprised for a minute but then he asked, "Uh…hi. Um…I'm gonna ask a strange question. Have you by any chance seen a tiger around here?" Tiger? Don't tell me…

"Brother!" Kisa said running towards him. Kyo's eyes widened but he had a smile on his face as he kneeled down and took Kisa into his arms.

Brother? He is Kisa's brother?

"Don't scare me like that! What happened? Why did you run away?" he asked worriedly.

This is weird. Kyo Sohma is known to be a tough guy who is pretty hot headed. He doesn't get along with a lot of people. To see him as the protective older brother just seems so…out of place. Like someone up there made a mistake.

"I'm sorry. I got worried that someone would see me so I tried to hide. But Tohru saw me before I could." They were looking at me now. Oh yeah. I'm not supposed to know.

Kyo's face was hard. "You didn't tell her anything, did you?" he asked her. Kisa looked nervous. "Actually, she knows almost everything. She saw me as a tiger and turn back human." Kyo sighed and got a worried look. So there is more to the story.

"Look. Akito will know if someone finds out. If anyone asks, tell them I told her." he said to Kisa. She looked scared.

"Kyo, I won't-" Kyo cut her off by saying, "No. You know how Akito is. He'll get mad and punish you. I'm not going to let that happen again." he said firmly. He brushed Kisa's bangs from the side of her face and I noticed a little scar there. I gasped. I can't believe someone would do that to her.

They seemed to remember I was here after I gasped. "Um. You should come in. It'll look a little strange if someone see's Kisa from the outside. Kyo looked at what she was wearing and said, "Oh yeah." He picked up a bag that I hadn't noticed before and stepped in. I locked the door behind him.

"Kyo, what's that?" Kisa asked him pointing at the back. "It's your clothes. I went home and got you some dry one's because, you know." he said gesturing to her. Yeah. Of course. Kisa took the bag and I pointed her to the bathroom across from the stairs. I went back to the living room and found Kyo still standing.

"Why don't you sit down." I offered. He just said, "It's okay. I'm fine." His voice was still hard. I guess he's worried about his sister. I giggled quietly at that thought. He looked at me weirdly. I said, "It's just that I would never have thought you to be the over protective big brother type."

He didn't smile. He just said, "You wouldn't understand. It's something that happens by default when you're like us." Then I remembered something Kisa said.

"Kisa said that the members of the zodiac change if they are hugged by a member of the opposite gender." I said. He nodded apprehensively. "She also said it doesn't happen if they are hugged by one of the zodiac even if they are opposite genders." I said looking at him.

He sighed. "Yeah." No way. "So that means that you-"

"Yes. I'm also a member of the zodiac." he said reluctantly. There was no point in denying now that I already figured it out. This is so cool!

"So which one are you?" I asked him excitedly.

"What?" he asked, surprised.

"I know that Kisa is the tiger so which one are you?" He was a little uncomfortable and didn't say anything. I gasped.

"I'm so sorry! I really shouldn't have asked. I mean I'm not even supposed to know about the curse in the first place and here I am trying to get out more information! How could I be so stupid?" Shut up Tohru! You're ranting!

"Wait, stop! It's okay! You just caught me by surprise! It's just that whenever someone finds out about the curse they get scared and run away from us. They don't try to get closer." he said quietly. Oh.

"Is that what happened before?" I asked quietly.

"Excuse me?" Kyo asked.

"Um…Kisa mentioned that when someone outside of the family finds out about the curse their memories are erased. I was wondering if someone found out and they got really scared so their memories were erased." I said.

Kyo seemed to get sad when I said that and I asked, "Did that happen to you?"

"Oh. No. Not me. But to a couple of my cousins. Though one of them went through a lot worse then just having someone run away from them." He said. I didn't ask anymore of that matter. It just didn't seem like I should.

"What do you think Akito would do about this?" Kisa asked, coming out of the bath room. She handed me my shirt and said, "Thank you" I smiled and told her it wasn't a problem.

"I don't really know. Like I said he most likely would punish you but I won't let him touch you." Kyo said looking at Kisa. He really loves her. Kisa just hugged him.

"Oh. By the way Kisa, how old are you?" I asked her. "I turned twelve in January 15th." What?

I turned to Kyo and asked, "I remember that you didn't come to school this January because you're cousins dragged you off somewhere to celebrate your birthday! On the 15th too!" I said.

He grinned and said, "Yeah. Kisa and I are 4 years apart but we have the same birthday. It's really weird but it's kinda cool at the same time." (I actually have a friend whose brother was born on the same day as her but they are actually 6 years apart. And they were both born on St. Patrick's Day)

Wow. I never noticed before but Kyo looks kind of cute when he smiles like that. Then Kisa said, "You go to the same school Kyo does. right? Did you know that I go to the middle school just a few blocks from there?"

"Really? That's so cool! Maybe I can come visit you one day. I mean, that is if I'm still allowed to remember you." I said the last part sadly. Kisa's face fell but she still had a sad smile on. Even Kyo's smile was a little gloomy.

I kneeled in front of Kisa and asked, "Can I ask you something?" She nodded.

"If I lose my memories of the curse, will you still be my friend?" I asked. She started crying then but she nodded and hugged me. I held her and a few tears fell from my eyes too.

I've only known this girl for less than an hour but she already seems like the little sister I've always wanted. Kisa let me go and said, "I promise. No matter what Akito says."

I smiled though personally I wouldn't want her to get in trouble because of me.

A minute later Kyo's phone rang and he went to the hallway to speak. He looked a little frustrated and Kisa looked nervous.

When Kyo got back he sighed heavily and said, "Akito wants us at the main house. Right now."

"You think he knows already?" Kisa asked. Kyo shrugged and said, "Most likely. Remember what happened with Yuki? Akito knew even before it happened. That's why Hatori got their so fast." Yuki? As in Prince Yuki? Who else is cursed that I should know about.

"Yes. Yuki is part of the Zodiac. If you really want to know which one he is you can ask him on Monday. I won't tell him you know though. I want to see his reaction." Kyo said grinning wickedly. Kyo and Yuki have been known to have a weird brotherly relationship. They often argue and sometimes end up in fist fights but they're also always playing. It's like after all the fighting they are still best friends. Maybe it's just me and because I'm a girl that I don't understand. Boys. Tsk tsk.

"Okay Kisa. We should go now." Kyo said after a minute. I pouted a little and he smiled but they were right. Based on what I heard about Akito, it really wouldn't be a good idea to keep him waiting.

I walked them to the door and Kisa said, "See you later." She looked so hopeful that I couldn't help hugging her tightly. "You're so cute!" We all laughed and Kisa said bye. As they walked away Kyo turned back and waved at me. I smiled and waved back. When he turned around Kisa seemed to tell him something embarrassing because he blushed. I smiled one last time as I closed the door.

Now to just wait for Monday to come.
