Our classes for the day had finally ended. I couldn't wait to eat the wonderful mean that Tohru had promised to cook. After all, it's nice to have someone else cook for a change. Amaya's cooking skills were worse than horrible. She tries, poor thing, but she can barely manage to boil eggs.

Home cooked meal, here we come!" Amaya shouted as she hopped out of our last class. With her usual antics I just couldn't help but laugh.

"Was it really necessary to have a spitball war with the person sitting next to the teachers desk?" I asked Amaya grinning all the while. I still couldn't believe that she had done that. She never ceases to amaze me.

"Absolutly, he was being weird at you," she proudly stated. It's always so hard for me not to laugh at her when she does these kind of things.

"Rei, Amaya! Over here!" Shouted Tohru gleefully as Kyo and Yuki stood next to her. Amaya and I walked over to her. I tried to be calm but suddenly the guy that Amaya had a spitball war with came walking out of the classroom. He was covered head to toe in spitballs. I don't think he even hit Amaya once!

"Heya Tohru! Ready to go? I sure am!" Amaya said. For some reason Tohru didn't look like her normal cheerful self. She had an air of sadness about her even though she kept a smile.

"Whats wrong Tohru?" I asked her, being genuinely concerned.

"Oh Nothing at all!" I could tell that this wasn't true and I knew that Amaya knew it too from the annoyed look on her face. Amaya really doesn't like it when people pretend that things are great when they aren't.

"See you later Miss Honda, Please be careful." said Yuki as he gave her a graceful bow. He and Kyo left after that. It seemed that Amaya and I didn't even exist to them. Obviously they both had feelings for her. Amaya and I looked at each other as they left wondering why we were ignored for a second, then decide to shrug it off. Amaya grabs Tohru's arm and leads her away.

"Off we go to the wild blue yonder! Where food awaits to be eaten in our fair stomachs!" said Amaya while she tries to lead Tohru to her home that we have no idea where it may be.

Finally we make it to her home. Our trip was,for the most part, silent. Of course Amaya had to have her random moments where she would just burst into song. She makes me giggle every time she does things like that. Tohru seemed to smile a bit at it too. When we got to her home we were greeted by an odd man wearing traditional Japanese clothing.

"Oh my lovely little flower welcome home, and what have we here Highschool girls!" said Shigure while looking at me very creepily. When Amaya saw how he was looking at me she let out a low growl and popped her knuckles and gave him a look that scared him so badly that he gulped and made whimpering sounds. She's always rushing in to save me.

"Shigure this is Rei and Amaya, I invited them for dinner I hope that's okay?" said Tohru politely.

"Uhm sure...I just uhm...have a novel to write." With that he scurried away, off to write his novel, I guessed. It was just the funniest thing. I thought so anyway. Tohru quickly left to start on supper.

"Man Amaya, if looks could kill, Shigure would be frozen, shattered, buried 50 feet under, and spit on."

"Oh come on! did you see that look! He was practically undressing you!"

"Yeah that was kinda creepy...." I shuddered at the thought of what he may have been thinking about me. Yikes! That's a scary thought. Then I smiled and nudged Amaya in the ribs. "You sure your not into anyone....like Momiji perhaps...?"

"Nah, he's cute but....just not"

"Awww how sad"

With that Tohru rushed in. "I am so sorry I didn't even get you a seat, please have a seat, its almost done!" she bowed to us and asked if we could set the table as she went into the kitchen again. She quickly emerged with the most wonderful smelling food that I had ever smelled. My stomach was growling just thinking about it. The food must have smelled good to Shigure as well because he came out of hiding to sit at the table with us. I thought that he was smiling about the food but when Amaya glared at him that smile quickly vanished.

"Where's Yuki and Kyo?" I asked curiously and also trying to divert my attention from everything else.

"Oh....Yuki had school things to do and Kyo had training..." Tohru sounded so sad when she said it. Amaya and I looked at each other and then knew why she seemed so sad before our walk here. We both knew that Tohru and Kyo liked each other. Why they never admitted it, I'll never know.

"Say Tohru, you have a crush on someone?" Amaya asked her in her usual teasing, taunting way.

"Uhm...well, that is, Uhm..." Tohru stammered as she blushed heavily.

"Tohru my flower I knew you loved me" Shigure said with stars in his eyes. Goodness, was girls the only thing on this guy's mind? Amaya didn't like that comment and threw her tea all over him!

"Simmer down, she wouldn't be in love with an old moron like you" she said with her evil eyed stare. All of a sudden we were interrupted by the sound of running and someone screaming 'Tohru!' They ran in so fast all I saw was a blur that apparently ran into Tohru. The voice was Momiji's so I assumed that it was him. The second that he collided with her there was a loud pop and smoke filled the room. I instinctively tried to back away from it but Amaya lunged into the smoke. What she was doing, I wasn't sure of. When the smoke started to clear Amaya was on Momiji's clothes and the cutest little yellow bunny that I have ever seen.

"Where's Momiji....?" I asked after being stunned for a minute or two.

"I'm here..." said the bunny looking kind of sad.

"AWWWW SO CUTE!" Amaya squealed as she squeezed the poor little bunny.

"He can't breath Amaya" said Haru as he walked into the room. Amaya shook poor Momiji apologizing to him. All the while I was so stunned by all of this that I couldn't speak.

"I am so sorry Momiji you just looked so cute and I just had to hug you please don't die!"

"Uhm Amaya I think your making him dizzy now"

"Oops, erm, sorry" she said as she set the poor bunny, that is Momiji down on the floor. He started to shake himself off and then another pop followed by more smoke. I couldn't believe my eyes. There in front of us was Momiji completely naked! I stared for a second because my mind wasn't making sense of things then hurried to close my eyes.

"So uhm....this may need some explanation..."

"Aww if I hug him again will he turn back into the cute wittle wabit?" Amaya said in her best innocent voice.

"Amaya, concentrate, human turning Rabbit isn't normal" I said, still pretty confused about the whole thing.

"So...? Still cute"

"That is true....Does it happen to all of you?"

"Oh can I test that?" Amaya asked eagerly as I signed and held her back from jumping on the others in the room.

"Uhm well....We' re cursed" Shigure says starting his explination. When he finished explaining we had to leave. It ws starting to get late. We promised not to tell their family secret to anyone. Tohru left the room to fix us both bento boxes of the dinner she had made. My head was still swimming with zodiac animals, people turning into animals, and all this talk of family curses.
