Meet the Sohma Family
With this series, I wanted to try and write some thing new and continue a long forgotten fight. This series shows three Shinobi ninjas finishing a fight and stumbling on the Zodiac curse like Tohru Honda
As told by Nanaki, son of Seto, from firsthand accounts of Neyla Kaiou
Ever meet someone, no a family, with a dark secret? That's what Neyla and her ninja friends stumbled onto. Even I hadn't heard of the Sohma family when I came across some of Neyla's diary entries and a few mission files in which she and the Shadow Marines had to protect them from corrupt cops and gang bangers from the United States.
"Are you that Deepground Soldiers are in there?" Neyla asked her two ninja friends.
Sakura and Sasuke said they were sure of it. As they readied their weapons Neyla got a chill down her spine, there was something there that made feel that way. Sakura and Sasuke were about to charge toward the estate when Neyla stopped them. Sakura looked into Neyla's eyes and could tell there was something wrong, guess Sakura could read Neyla's mind.
"There is something strange in this place," Neyla said looking at the estate, "the inhabitants here guard an ancient curse. We must proceed with the utmost caution."
"What kind of curse is it?" asked Sasuke.
"I can't really put my finger on it," answered Neyla, "It must a closely guarded curse that not many in this estate know about."
Sasuke tried to guess what expect in the estate.
"Just be on your guard and try not to get caught."
The three Shinobi ninjas moved silently through the Sohma estate quietly killing the Deepground soldiers and evaded detection. They were making excellent progress when Neyla came face to face with a 12 year-old girl named Kisa Sohma. She was being chased by a DG Elite and two DG Beast Soldiers. Apparently Deepground was up to their usual half-assed scheme; try to awaken Omega by making a pure Lifestream and lifting the life from a planet. They tried it on different worlds and failed. As Neyla watched she heard a tiger's roar for help in her mind. She looked around and then realized that Kisa was calling for help in some unknown way. Neyla leaped out of the tree she was hiding in. As she landed, Neyla unsheathed a Spartan combat knife her mother gave her and threw it the DG Elite's neck, to prevent him from screaming in pain from how hard the knife was thrown. After the DG Elite was dead, Neyla picked up his knife and threw it at the nearest DG Beast Soldier aiming for its head. Then she killed the second Beast Soldier with a knife from the first Beast Soldier. While Neyla fought with the three Deepground soldiers Kisa ran away. After the confrontation Neyla got her knife out the Elite's neck and wiped the Elite's blood on his own hands signifying that his own blood was on his hands. Kisa came back with another member of the Sohma family, Kagura Sohma. Neyla thought about making a run for the exit but dropped the combat knife and surrendered.
"You must be ninja who saved Kisa," said Kagura as they walked to the main house, "I'm Kagura Sohma; it's nice to meet you…"
"Neyla Kaiou."
"Princess Neyla Kaiou?"
"Yes," answered Neyla, "just call me Neyla and please don't bow, I get annoyed by it."
Kagura looked at Neyla stunned, why would a princess get annoyed by someone bowing to her? Neyla met up her friends at main house. Kisa ran towards Neyla and hugged her, Neyla smiled at Kisa. Neyla began to understand the curse the Sohma family was guarding had to do something with animals, but she still couldn't put her finger on what kind of curse the Sohmas were guarding. Kagura went to talk to someone on the other side of the main house and rumbled back in two minutes.
"Akito wants to meet you three," said Kagura, "One more thing, please leave your weapons here on the foyer."
Neyla nodded to Sakura and Sasuke and they put their weapon pouches on the foyer and followed Kagura to meet with this Akito. Neyla wondered if Akito would let them off the hook and let them be on there way, because they cleared Deepground out of the Sohma estate. When they entered the room where Akito was in, they found him reclining on a tatami accompanied by Hatori Sohma, the family doctor.
"So you must be the ninjas who were trespassing on Sohma property," Akito said without making eye contact, "May I ask why?"
Neyla took a breath and calmly explained their ongoing fight with Deepground, the Second Omega War and they left their homes to finish the fight. Neyla wanted to show Akito some of the mission reports on the battles fought on different worlds and in the past but remembered that they were classified. Akito turned and stood before the three ninjas, Neyla became tense because she sensed Akito's anger. Akito was angry that soldiers tried to attack the Sohma family. He thought of what he was going to do with the three ninjas. Neyla felt a chill run down her spine like when she encountered Kisa, but the chill came from Kagura, Hatori and Akito.
"There's an ancient curse here isn't there?" asked Neyla, "I don't know what it is, but I can sense it."
All of the Sohmas froze, their secret had been discovered. Akito shooed Kisa and Kagura outside so he could talk with Neyla, Sakura and Sasuke.
After asking a few questions, Akito gave them two options, "Either you three can work for me and help keep tabs on the family or Hatori can erase your memories." Neyla looked at Sakura and Sasuke and they nodded to her.
"We've got your back no matter what," said Sakura.
"We'd like to keep our memories," Neyla said to Akito, "When do we start?"
Then Neyla, Sakura and Sasuke became permanent guests of the Sohma family. Sakura lived with Kagura, Sasuke lived with Hatori and Neyla lived with Kisa because Kisa asked Akito. Akito thought the ninjas were the only outsiders who knew about the Zodiac curse, he was wrong. Tohru Honda stumbled on the curse by accident, when she hugged Kyo Sohma while slipping on a piece of wood. Akito let her stay with Yuki, Kyo and Shigure Sohma. From then on Tohru Honda became guest of the Sohma family.
