Hello and welcome to chapter one of 'Meet the Black Zodiac'.
I own nothing.
Areku's P.O.V:
My name is Areku Honda. I have long black hair, blue eyes with gray specks, red pouty lips, and am a punk goth. My mom died in a car accident and I ran away, isolated from the world, leaving my fraternal twin sister, Tohru Honda, to live alone. Only I and the other members of the Black Zodiac know what I am. And this is my cursed life.
The curse of the Black Zodiac says one of us must fall in love with one of the Chinese Zodiacs. Just great. I am the 12th Black Zodiac, the Weapon (in the movie 13 Ghosts, the ghosts aren't really the real names of the Zodiac). I have the symbol of the Weapon on my back in black, it comes with the curse. The thing is that if the opposite gender touches the symbol that takes up my whole back, I turn into the rage filled Weapon. If I angry or if I am in danger, the Weapon takes over.
The bad thing is that we can't find any members of the Chinese Zodiac. I mean they could be anywhere. This is my story.
After six months of hiding, I decided I needed to find Tohru. So I went back to our old house, only to find it empty.
"I'll stay here." I sigh. In the morning I decided I needed to enroll in a school. I was questioned and placed in the school. I got food and my style of clothes before returning home. I decided to go to sleep early, I had school tomorrow.
I growled as I walked to the school.
'This is doing nothing to find Tohru.' I mentally seethe. I calmed down quickly before I turned into the Weapon. As I got to school grounds, I could tell people were shocked by my presence. I was wearing the school uniform except I wore the skirt to my knees and got the darkest colored allowed, black and silver shoes, a necklace with the symbol of the Weapon on the center bead and a spiked bracelet.
As I was about to walk into the school, I heard three familiar voices with four unknown. I followed the voices and found a group of people talking. I noticed three people I was sure I knew. Arisa, Saki, and Tohru. They were talking with four boys. I walked to stand in front of the group. The boys formed a barrier in front of the girls before they could see me.
"What do you want?" the orange haired boy growled.
"Kyo, quit being so rude to such a beautiful women." the black and white haired one spoke.
"Move it, let us see who it is." I heard Arisa growl before hitting the one known as Kyo in the back on the head. As the girls saw me, they went into shock.
"What no hug for your sister." I teased Tohru.
"Sister? Tohru, you have a sister?" the boy dressed in the girl's uniform cheered, jumping up and down.
"Areku!" They yelled before crushing me in a hug.
"Hello Tohru, Saki, Arisa." I said. As Saki and Arisa let go, Tohru held on a minute longer.
"Miss. Tohru, why did you not tell us you had a sister?" The boy with violet eyes asks her.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Areku, this is Yuki, Haru, Kyo, and Momiji. You guys this is my fraternal twin Areku Honda." Tohru introduced them happily.
"Yay!" Momiji squeals. I am really starting to get annoyed with this kid. As he ran t give me a hug from behind I bent forward, lifting one leg in the air, kicking him so it hit the area between his chin and neck. I heard a few grasps. In a few seconds me mood had gone from happy to angry.
"Do not touch me." I growled at the boy, who was at the moment of the ground with tears in his eyes.
"Finally, someone other than me hates the kid." Kyo laughs happily, coming to stand beside me.
"Why d-did you do that A-Areku." Tohru asks me shocked.
"I don't like people touching me." I lie slightly. Yuki looks at me skeptically.
"What does the symbol on your necklace mean?" Yuki asks me, ignoring Momiji.
"I um..." I was saved by Haru.
"Why the hell did you kick Momiji!" yelled Haru. He was a whole different person.
"Black Haru." I heard them mutter. I turned towards him.
"I don't like being touch. And I am really getting sick of repeating myself." I growl.
"So what makes you think you can kick people for trying to touch you!" he yelled at me again. I could feel the Weapon wanting to beat him easily to a bloodily pulp. I needed to calm down fast.
"Saki, shock me." I demand. I see everyone's eyes widen.
"Why?" she says, shocked.
"Do it or something very bad will happen." I growl, trying to control the Weapon. She hesitantly reaches her hand to touch my shoulder.
"Do it!" I roared, almost loosing control. She shocked me with all she had. I could tell the others were surprised at how much she could shock someone. As she stopped, I felt the Weapon calm down. I stood up straight again.
"Thank you." I nod to her.
"How...that was enough to kill someone!" she says. My eyes narrow slightly.
"Let's skip school today and go to Shigure's." Tohru says. Everyone but Arisa and Saki came. As they led me to the house, I felt awkward. When we reached 'Shigure's' house I was sad.
"What really happened." normal Haru asked me after they informed Shigure of what happened.
"Have you guys ever heard of the Black Zodiac?" I ask them. Their eyes widen and they shook their heads yes.
"Well, I am the 12th Zodiac, the Weapon." I let the secret loose. We sat in silence until.
"YES!" they shouted.
"What?" me and Tohru ask, curious.
"We are part of the Chinese Zodiac." Yuki explains. My eyes narrow.
"How can I trust you?" I ask. Kyo walked over to Tohru and hugged her. There was a poof and where he was standing was an orange cat.
"How can we trust you?" Shigure asks. I turn my back on them. I start to take off my shirt.
"What are you doing!" Kyo cat yells.
"Showing proof." I answer simply. I take off my shirt completely and show them the large symbol on my back.
"If a male touches it, I turn into the Weapon," I explain.
"Black Haru." I heard them whisper before someone touched the mark. I felt the change slightly. As I turn around to face Black Haru, I felt rage consume me. I now had black hair with blood red stripes, midnight-blue eyes with red pupils, I grew taller, my body got stronger, my teeth became canines, and my nails turned into claws. I turned around to face him (she has a black bra on). I growl, feeling nothing but rage. I picked him up slightly and threw him through the door. As my eyes scanned the place I felt a sudden change of tension in the room. Kyo turned back to normal. Except that he was naked! That was enough to change me back.
"Put some clothes on!" I yelled at him, as I covered my blushing face. As he put his clothes back on, I put my shirt back on.
"Back it was such a lovely view!" complained Shigure. In a second Kyo was punching him in the jaw, sending him spiraling on the floor.
"Thank you." I thank Kyo, kissing him on the cheek. Him and I blushed slightly.
"What happened?" normal Haru asked, walking back into the room.
"Nothing." Momiji says innocently.
Well, there was chapter one. I hope everyone enjoyed it.
