The Curse I Never Had 2

Chapter 1: Intro

Yes, it's finally here, the sequel that all y'all have been waiting for for at least six to eight months now...The Curse I Never Had 2! That's right, here it is.

Intro: Rachelle was a normal girl...well, as normal as you can be when you posses magic! She has the incredible ability to have any power or magic in the world, fiction or not. But with it she made a mistake...she inflicted the Sohma curse on herself while sleeping. She ended up falling in love with Hatsuharu Sohma as he did for her. She had brothers Yuki and Ayame to back her up.Yuki's with Tohru, and Kyo is with Miroto. Now it's been seven years since the last story took place...how will it all go now? Read to find out! Note: I decided to change Lauren's name to Midori. Get over it.
Just as a precaution, I'm most likely going to go slower with updating than usual because I want everything to be perfect and up to my new standards (which means going through my four editors, Chelsea, Asia, Carmen, and now Stefi and then me) and it needs to meet the standards that you, the people want as well. All y'all are in mind when writing this, I hope you know that. No more than one or two chapters in a week because I have a life, I have school, I read stories too, so yeah...just hang with me and deal with it. I get really lazy when it comes to typing things up. I may be good at typing, but that means nothing.

On the title...some of y'all may be wondering what The Curse I Never Had means.Rachelle didn't have the curse to begin with so therefore, it's the curse she never had. This is mostly in her point of view so that explains it all. And, just to let you know and give credit it to someone, one of my editors, Carmen, helped me come up with the name a year ago (or maybe it was Chelsea...well...it was one of them!) and we had all these other names written down. This is what I came up with and we agreed on, so this is what it's going to be.

Oh, yeah. STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY! So be it (and you thought that I might forget.)
WAIT! Before you read, let me tell you this: This story is written kinda like in a journal from whose ever POV it's in (mainly Midori's) and that's just how it's written. No dates, just how the story sounds, if you may. I actually write in my journal religiously everyday (seriously) so it makes sense that that's how I write when I write things in first person. You may now read on.
Midori's POV (point of view)
Seven years after Haru-chan moved into Sensei's is where we are now. Let me begin my tale of love, triumph, angst, and humor. Listen carefully now...
Haru-chan and I had adopted one child and we named her Hotaru, meaning "firefly". It was a beautiful name. Haru picked it out. I had wanted to call her Sephira or Gerri, but when I heard Hotaru I quickly changed my mind. Right where my story takes place, she's eight-years-old since we adopted her when she was six. Haru couldn't hold her because he would transform into the ox and we didn't want that.

Yuki and Tohru had a child named Isamu, meaning "brave". Those two had broken the curse...but it was only for the next generations, not ours. This one had to suffer, but we were all still happy since the Sohma's would soon be at peace. Isami was five-years-old now and starting kindergarden at Kaibara Elementary.

Kyo and Miroto were happy together, but didn't plan on any kids, not even adopted. We didn't get to talk to them much.

No one knew where Rin was except Akito...but he wouldn't say. His time was almost up in this world and it didn't matter. We wouldn't need a head of family to hold on to the curse now that the curse was broken. But something told me that he wasn't going to let us forget him...ever. There's got to be something that he could do before his hour glass was out.

There were rumors going around about a pair of twins...Kiri and Kira Horidagorem. I was truly tired of oddball cursed people roaming around everywhere. I wanted to learn more about them, but I'd have to meet them for that to happen. That just made me more impaitent. It could be years before I would meet them.

Shigure was still going strong and writing smutty novels, just as if he was still in his twenties. He planned on staying single, so be it.

Ayame and Mine were still making clothes. In fact, a lot of Tohru's and mine, and various other family members had tons of clothes that they had made. Everything my precious Hotaru had was made by Ayame and Mine.

Hatori still couldn't heal from Kana and hadn't learned to re-love yet. Maybe one day he would...even if it would be someone a lot younger.

Kisa had finally gotten out of school, but went to the states for college.

Hiro moved away from the Sohma Estate to start a new life and none of us expected to hear from him again. It was just his nature.

Ritsu was with his mother at the hot springs to help her since her health problems had gotten worse. He had more courage and confidence now, but he still had his spasms, but the "magic poke" was all he needed. We only got to see him whenever we went to the onsen.

(Major...or maybe minor...SPOILER FOR KURENO)

Kureno had eluded Akito's clutches and left his side to be with Arisa Uotani. He could live a peaceful life since he had become uncursed. We don't know anything else about him or Uo-chan because we lost all contact with them.

Saki Hanajima and her brother Megumi Hanajima were famous for their abilities. They had tried to keep a low profile, but it didn't prevail. We could never talk to them because they were always so busy.

Momiji went to be a kindergarden teacher since he still had all the energy of one. In fact, he was Isamu's teacher. We could actually see him and so we was still holding strong ties to the family.

I guess that you want to know more than where they all are, huh? Well...if you insist...

This is just a short chapter to get y'all into the grove of things. This also helps set up the plot a little and adds some mystery and suspense. Now that you know where everybody is and what they're up to, maybe we can get a real story goin' here.
Here is everyone's ages. You'll get this little thing down here (or at the top) everytime the saga changes. This story is divided into many sagas that are split and separated with time gaps here and there. This little thing down here should straighten things out for you:

Midori- 20, Haru/Momiji - 23, Rin - 25, Kyo/Yuki/Tohru/Hana/Uo/Miroto - 24, Shigure/Ayame/Hatori - 34, Kagura - 26, Hiro - 18, Ritsu - 27, Kureno - 33, Megumi/Kisa - 19, Isamu - 5, and Hotaru - 8.

You'll notice that Akito isn't on this list. Well, it's a little hard to know how old someone is if you were never told how old they were in the first place. So I'm screwed about his age, but just imagine, how about that? Doesn't really matter to me how old he is because at this point and his place, he'll die sooner or later anyways. Never liked him that much to begin with!
