Chapter 2

Mai's POV

I remember the first time my parents found out about the curse. It was after I was born and my dad tried holding me. But I disappeared in a puff of smoke and was replaced by a small foal. I was just a mass of brown fur wrapped in a pink baby blanket. I looked up at my father and apparently he almost dropped me, but kept his grip and gave me back to my mom. I don't remember any of this, but my mom explained it to me when I was old enough to know.

I knew I was different from everyone else. Just like everyone else like me. Our eyes, our hair, we look different from everyone else. Like my brother's before me, I inherited the curse that had plagued our family for centuries. My siblings and I always got teased for how we looked and after our mother died we used the money from our savings and insurance pay outs to buy the house we currently live in.

It was immediately that we all felt free. We didn't have to hide or shy away from people. We were free in this house. It was huge. Two story house, ten bedrooms, two bathrooms and a massive garage. Of course my brother Takeshi, being the swimming bug he is, insisted we get a pool in the backyard. So that only added to the extravagant place that is the house we live in.

How ever one rule of the house was never to bring strangers around without letting each member know first. So how is it that my boss and everyone I work with just happen to be at the very place right now?

I didn't think Naru and the others would find out about this. The one place that was just our own was just something that I never thought they would discover. But now here we are, sitting in the dining room of our house. The walls are painted white, with one wall painted a deep blue color. It had a fireplace with a painting above it that my cousin Asakura painted, just before we started fixing it up. The dining table could seat a whole army, which is generally the purpose for the sheer mass of people in the house. It's a deep brown oak wood with craved legs. The chairs are the same, only the seats have an embroidery gold and ivory material on them.

As always, Takeshi sits at the head of the table, near the fire place, while I sit to his right along with Naru and Bou-san. Hara-san, Ayako, John and Lin-san sit to his left. I can feel the tension in the air, as my brother serves out cups of tea to everyone.

'I'm sorry about earlier. I guess we should explain our little…ability shouldn't we?' Takeshi says nervously, but he's still polite. Mai laughed nervously, scratching the back of her neck with her hand.

'Watch out Serena!'' Came a yell from the hallway, but no one was there so the voice couldn't match a face.

'So there are a lot of people here, having a party or something?' Bou san said, looking around the huge table.

'Nah man, we're all related here.' Came a voice from the entrance to the dining room. He had long silver hair that was tied back into a pony tail and deep purple eyes. He was leaning against the door frame with a smile spread across his face. His t-shirt had sweat patches on it and his jeans are torn on both knees.

'Itski!' I jump from my chair and run over to him and as always, I'm greeted with a bone cracking hug.

'Hey baby girl. How are you?' Itski asks cheerfully, still holding on to me. Bou-san gave a nervous laugh before saying anything.

'You were joking right. When you said all these people live here.'

'No joke.'

'Not everyone.' Bou-san says, not really believing it.

'Well aside from you six, everyone else is.'

'Oh god. There must be…How many people are here?' Bou-san tried counting in his head but his face was scrunched up, showing he didn't know how many people were there.

' Thirteen people Bou-san.' I said, smiling at him as he looked up shock at me. Itski finally let me go and I walked back to my seat while he took the seat next to Bou-san.

'You all live here. In this house.'

'Have done for years. Just like one big happy family. But in the literal sense.' Takeshi says, like it's the most obvious thing in the world. He takes another sip of his tea and places the cup back down on the saucer.

'Well I'd love to take a tour to see this beautiful home.' Ayako said, her eyes glittering towards Takeshi. I hope to god she isn't trying to play the flirtation act.

'Ok come on.' Takeshi, Itski and I stand up from the table and push our chairs back in before heading towards the door. I look back over my shoulder and see no one else is moving.

'Well come on you lot.' They all stand up and follow suit. We walk out of the dining room and back towards the entrance but stop and the double French sliding doors. Takeshi opened them to reveal the large study room. Bookcase line one whole wall while two big windows are opposite, showing the fence and driveway out front.

'This was the family room but we change it into a study area.' Everyone looks shocked at how big the room is, and I laugh slightly. The doors close and we head back towards the dining room entrance but stop when level to the wall on the left.

'This door to my left is Mishima and Corina's room.' He walks around towards another door. 'This is Wesley and Kobayashi's room.' He then disappears behind the stair case and we follow him, seeing him standing next to another door.

'This one is my room, that's Ichigo's room.' He then walks towards another hallway next to Ichigo's room and points down towards another door. 'That leads to the backyard. But I think we can get lost out there another day.' He gestures for us to follow and he leads us up the set of stairs leading from the family room up to the second floor.

'Ok to my left you have Itski's room, Mai's room then the guest room one. To your right are Asakura's room, Seji's room and guest bedroom two.' He then gestures to the sliding doors up near Itski's room.

'That's the storage cupboard and directly down the other end is the bathroom.' He says pointing down the other end.

'Onee.' I look down to see Corina pulling at the hem of my skirt. "When did she come up here?" I kneel down to her level and take her hand.

'What's wrong Corina?'

'Can you come outside? Mishima found something really weird and we need your help.' She pleads, giving me her puppy dog eyes. She knows I can never ever say no to that.

'Ok.' I stand up and she pulls my hand to make me follow her. We skip down the stairs and out the back door and towards the swimming pool where Mishima is squatting down using a stick to poke at something. Corina kneels down next to Mishima and I bend over next to Corina, holding onto the tops of my knee's keep me steady.

'I don't see anything Corina.' I seriously can't see anything. Mishima and Corina both get up from the ground and I look up them in confusion.

'Maybe you thought you saw something cause there isn't anything there.'

'No its here. It just won't be here for much longer.' My eyebrow creases but then I notice the evil glint in Mishima's eyes. I then look down at my feet and notice I'm getting closer and closer to the pool.

'Don't you dare?' I warn them both playfully and threatening. They both grin widely at each other then reach out and try and push me in I can feel my foot slipping but I ain't going in alone.

'If I'm going, you're coming in with me.' And I grab hold of them both in a semi hug then deliberately jump into the pool. We all submerge from the water, giggling and Mishima and I start throwing water at each other. Corina climbed onto my back, giggling widely and she hugged me around my neck.

'We missed you sis.'

'I missed you all too.' I gripped her hand in my and kissed her wet forehead through the bangs stuck to her face. I've missed home. The peace, the calm and the quiet just like a perfect summers day.

'If you don't mind I'm paying you to work not to fool around in a swimming pool.' And then the rain came. Naru had to butt his head in and say something rude and bring the rain in.

'Coming. Stupid idiot boos.' I grumbled, climbing up the steps dripping water every where.

"I'm at home, with my boss and colleagues, my family of animals, and now I'm dripping wet and all my boss can think of is how much he's paying me." I huff and follow everyone back into the house, Corina and Mishima tailing behind me looking like drowned rats.

The end

There we have it chapter 2. I promise chapter 3 will be longer and well... better!

Till then. Cya
