Chapter 1
(crinkle)Transmission: Zodiac 3 Received (crinkle)
I'm sure most have heard the first Zodiac legend of all the Zodiac animals going to God and becoming of the Zodiac. I'm sure you've heard of the second Zodiac when the cat cat was tricked and excluded of the Zodiac but… have you heard of the third…
The true Dragon was one of God's most trusted. God told the Dragon that he was going to have a wondrous banquet and make all those who attend part of the Zodiac. The Dragon was delighted to hear this but God continued. God explained how he was also going to cast away some of the animals.
The Dragon was troubled by this and looked at the list of those who were to be casted away. The Dragon questioned why God was sending away this strongest of his empire. God simply responded that they were the ones most likely to rebel and fight back. The weak ones he was going to invite would never think of revolting. The Dragon said no more. The day continued and the Dragon continued to ponder upon this wretched event.
Soon the day of the banquet came. The Dragon supervised the exile of the strong animals. The abandoned one were as listed:
Wolf sister of the Dog
Fox brother of the Cat
Bat sister of the Mouse
Elephant brother of the Boar
Anaconda brother of the Snake
Goat sister of the Sheep
Raccoon brother of the Rabbit
Bison sister of the Ox
Leopard brother of the Tiger
Zebra brother of the Horse
Lemur sister of the Monkey
Sea Dragon brother of the Sea Horse
Eagle brother of the Rooster.
In its heart, the Dragon knew this was wrong. The Dragon watched as the exiled slowly trudged into the desert. Then the Dragon flew back to the banquet. The Dragon came to the banquet just in time to see the Mouse hop of from the Ox's back. God congratulated them all.
The Dragon's gnawing conscience got to it again. It began to question if the other animals cared that their siblings were being abandoned and cast away. The Mouse was the first to respond. It said it was their fault that they were cast away and it had nothing to do with itself. The other animals agreed as well. With that simple statement, the Dragon came to a decision.
The Dragon spread its wings and told God that it no longer held a bond with God. And from that day they shall always be enemies. The Dragon flapped its great wings and flew into the sky. It soon became a small black dot going towards the desert.
As the Dragon glided through the sky it called upon rain for the Abandoned ones. From that moment on when the Dragon landed before the Abandoned and it was named their savior and they swore their loyalty to it, the Dragon and God had broken their long time bond of friendship and become sworn enemies.
The Dragon looked to the setting sun as it told itself that someday, someday whether near or far, it would free the other animals from the torment they had just put themselves in. Someday….

The Sohmas and Tohru sat around the table eating dinner. It was peaceful… actually it was too peaceful. There was a looming silence as the four ate their dinners as if something terribly good was about to happen.
They were surprised by a knock on the door. Tohru shot up. "I'll get it," she said happily and went for the door. She opened to see a girl by looks looking at least 14. Hair covered her right eye and she was leaning against her large black suitcase.
"Nii-kun?" she muttered and then collapsed on the floor.
Tohru's eyes widened and she left out a high-pitched scream. Shigure, Kyo, and Yuki ran to Tohru.
"What is it?!?" growled Kyo.
"Oh my," said Shigure holding his hand to his mouth.
"Kan-san?" Yuki muttered.
Shigure ran and put a hand on her head. "She's running a high fever."
Tohru gasped as she frantically said, "We have to call Hatori-san!"
Yuki simply nodded and immediately went to the phone.
"Hatori, we need you here now!...Yes, it is quite important… Hatori, Kan-san, had just appeared on our door and collapsed… I thought she was in America as well… Okay see you here."
"Hatori is on his way," Yuki confirmed.
"Kyo take Kan-chan's suitcase. Yuki help me bring her to her room," instructed Shigure.
Tohru's PoV
Everyone seemed to be extremely worried especially Shigure. Kyo took the suitcase as told much to my surprise. Yuki held 'Kan' under her arms and Shigure held her feet. They didn't transform! Maybe she was part of the Zodiac as well! I was quite excited.
I followed them up the stairs and they entered the room that was always closed. The room itself was beautiful. From the window, I could see the sun setting just above the trees. The Zodiac animals were running across one wall, the next wall was a black tinged purple as was the one across from it. However, the one across from the parading Zodiac had a bunch of random animals: Wolf, Fox, Bat, Anaconda, Elephant, Goat, Raccoon, Bison, Leopard, Zebra, Lemur, Rooster, and Sea Dragon. Leading them all was a majestic black dragon. Its black scales gleamed and its leathery wings were stretched out. The room's furnishing was quite plain however. There was only a bed, dresser, mirror, desk, computer, and a bookshelf. The bookshelf was quite large.
I finally snapped out of my trance and turned to Shigure. "Shigure-san, what should I do to help?" I asked.
Shigure seemed to think for a bit. "If it wouldn't be too troubling, could you make some Karee Udon?" Shigure said sheepishly which was quiet out of character.
"Of course!" I said and eagerly raced to the kitchen.
Normal PoV
Now Yuki, Shigure, and Kyo all stood in a room with deafening silence. In a bed that hasn't been used for over eight years lay the girl who belonged there. The girl was not suppose to be however for she was exiled by Akito. Akito wouldn't be too happy. The girl was also quite sickly and was tossing and turning in the bed in which she belonged.
They heard voices downstairs and then Hatori appeared at the doorway. He put down his bag and was about to put her hand against Kan's forehead but a hand stopped him. The girl who was formally asleep was now holding the doctor's hand. Sweat rolled down the girl's forehead and her hand was terribly shaking. It seemed an eternity that the doctor and girl stared at each other in total silence.
"Don't touch me!" she barked in a soft voice as she glared at Hatori.
"Kan-san, please you're sick," Yuki pleaded.
"Kan-chan," murmured Shigure.
At the sound of Shigure's voice she let go of Hatori's hand and fell back asleep. Hatori carefully felt her forehead and checked her symptoms.
Hatori let out a sigh and said, "She is only sick from the plane ride. It was probably too long and bumpy. She'll be better quite soon."
Everyone sighed in relief. Tohru appeared at the doorway holding the steaming Udon. "It's done," she said happily.
"Thank you," Shigure said, "place it here." He said patting his hand on the desk. Tohru nodded and placed it on the desk.
Tohru stared at the girl for a moment until she finally asked, "Who is she?"
There was no response at first. The Sohmas turned to Shigure waiting for him to show something.
"I-I'm sorry if that's a tough subject!!" exclaimed Tohru waving her hands through the air, "You don't need to say anything!"
"No, no," said Shigure, "You should know."
There was another silence.
"That girl sleeping in that bed is Haiki Sohma Kanjou. Kan-chan is my sister as well as the head of the Haiki branch of the Sohma family. She is cursed by the true Dragon."
