Second Zodiac
Chapter One
Family
The Zodiac members had just gotten home from the summer home the week before, and school had started. In fact, they were currently in class.
"We have a new student today, and his name is Daisuke Honda. Please make him feel welcome," Mayuko told her class.
Daisuke had shoulder length blonde hair, blue eyes, and looked much like Tohru. He sat down next to the shy girl at the teachers instructions, and was greeted with a cheerful hug.
"Dai! It's great to see you!" she chirped.
"Same to you, My... Tohru!" he corrected as she subtly shook her head no.
"Honda-san, do you know him?" Yuki asked.
"Yep! He's my cousin!"
Yuki and Kyo glanced at each other, not knowing that Tohru had family other than the members that lived in her grandfather's house.
After school, Yuki, Kyo, Hatsuharu, and Momiji were waiting for Tohru by the gates; the girl was talking to Daisuke a few yards away. Soon they both walked over to Tohru's friends, and Tohru explained that Daisuke was coming for dinner; she had cleared it with Shigure on Daisuke's cellphone during lunch.
When they arrived at Shigure's house, they were greeted by the Dog Zodiac, as well as a mysterious teenage girl. She, too, looked a lot like Tohru under her black cape, only she was dressed in black leather. In her arms was a baby wrapped in a black blanket.
"Tohru, this young woman says that she's your cousin," Shigure told the girl, "is this true?"
"Yes, it is! This is Daisuke's wife, Kiraya, and their baby girl Natsuki."
"You're already married! But neither of you could be any older than seventeen!" Hatsuharu exclaimed.
"We aren't... but none of this was by choice," Kiraya said quietly as both hers, Daisuke's, and Tohru's eyes darkened.
"I'm sorry it had to be this way," Tohru said softly.
"It's not your fault, My... Tohru," Kiraya said, in the same manner as Daisuke earlier.
Kyo and Yuki glanced at each other again; what was going on here?
