Wheeeee. Chappie 2. I'm so good. Hee hee. I am not psychotic. Or at least I don't think so. When I original write this I'm using Arial font and size 10 font. And I'm using WordPad. Not regular Word. It's malfunctioning on me. Anyhoo-

All characters belong to Natsuki Takaya, not me. Maybe someone should make that into a song. wheeee. Anyhoo and Whee are my favorite words.

A/N: I have learned that I can type 56 words a minute. Yay for that. O right the story. Welcome one and all to the second revised chapter of The Second Cursed Family. Now as I recall the 2nd Chapter title was "The Lion, the Virgin, and the Balance". This is a spin off of "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe". Okay anyway, I hope you enjoy this. I think there is a plot twists from the original version. I think, you'll just have to see won't you.

The Second Cursed Family

Chapter 2: The Lion, The Virgin, and The Balance

"You have what?" Shigure said in shock.

"I. Have. The. Curse. Of. Libra." Tori said slowly.

"How is that even possible? They only-" Hatori started.

"-Exist in the stars. I heard you the first time."

"Who told you about this?" Shigure asked.

"The guy who was cursed by Leo. Before Soji anyway. Arin." (I am so creative with names aren't I? Tori is Japanese for bird.)

"What does your curse do to you?" Tohru asked.

"I have psychic powers, as you already know. When people touch me or I touch them, I get there inner most secrets. The longer they touch, the more info I get. I also have telekinesis. When I was a baby, whenever I cried stuff would float and get thrown around." Tori said. "I am trying to control the telekinesis. And—uh—never mind."

"Your parents must have freaked when they found out." Kyo said.

"Not exactly. They knew, once. But their memory was erased. They have know idea that I'm their child, they have no idea I exist. It's a pain in the ass really, but I guess you have more freedom than other teenagers."

"Okay?" Kyo blinked.

"In prophecy, every time a Cursed child has been born, a shadow spirit will appear at dusk. The shadow spirit will take said child away so it can be taught, nurtured, and be disciplined. There are 12 subjects with 12 rules each. We are taught to obey these rules, or there will be drastic measures. Each time a member dies, a random child is chosen to take his or her place in the Zodiac. There is no way to end the cycle. Even if the world ends. I don't know what happens after that. All I know is that it's a horrible thing and it will not stop."

"Oh my god." Yuki gasped.

It was silent for a few moments. Kyo broke the silence.

"What about Soji. Or whoever it was."

"Leo, right?" Tohru asked.

"Yes. All people who has Leo's curse have irregular colored hair, have orange cat eyes, and are really really smart. I took her in when her family rejected her. She said she had a brother but she barely remembers him. Her mom was married to someone but I don't know his last name. So I went by her mother's maiden name. Kanannu."

"Does Rika Sakari know about it?" Tohru asked.

"Does she know it? She has Virgo's curse. That makes her eyes act like mood stones. She can ask anybody to do anything. Unless, it's life threatening. If she asked someone else to beat up Yuki, they would of done it. She can also make people tell the truth. She came to Soji and I. It took her awhile to warm up to us, though."

"Is it true that the summer members are really hot-headed?" Shigure asked.

"Sometimes, yes. The spring members are nice. The winter members are cold and a little insensitive. Summer members are hotheaded. Autumn members are calm. I belong with the autumn members. Soji and Rika are summers."

"Hey, do you, Rika, and Soji want to live with us?" Shigure asked.

"No, we're fine where we are."

"You live in a freaking warehouse!" Kyo exclaimed. "Oh, shit. I shouldn't have said that."

"Do not fret. I noticed. You're not very quiet. So, I didn't say anything. I didn't want to draw to much attention to you."

Kyo just glared.

"We're saving money. Soji figures in a month, we'll move out."

"I am giving you a month. After that, I will give you money to move out." Hatori said concerned.

Tori glared "We're not a charity case." Her face calmed. "But I will accept your donation, if it is given."

Silence.

"Where was Sakari-san today?" Tohru asked.

"She was sick. Horrible really. Sneezed on everything." Tori said.

"I'll check her out." Hatori said.

"Where have you learned this courtesy? Honestly, I think you've learned this from someone."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Just thinking out loud."

Next Day-KHS-Lunch

"Sorry about, uh, stalking you." Tohru apologized.

"It's okay, we always have someone watching us from branches."

"O my god, you knew I was there the whole time." Kyo whined.

"Of course. I'm not blind."

"So it wasn't telepathy."

"A blind man could tell where you were hiding."

Kyo sighed.

"Hey, I have a question." Tohru said breaking the silence.

"Yeah, me too. What if one of the Astro Zodiac hugs us do we change?" Kyo interrupted.

"If one of the winter members or the spring members hugs you, that happens." Tori said.

"Why?"

"Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue." Tori said staring into her food.

"Is the Astro Zodiac like a reincarnation thing?" Yuki asked.

"Yes, that's why Soji's eleven years old." Tori said. "I was 5 when Arin died. And at the moment he died, when his brain shut down completely, Soji was born. And now it's eleven years later. I'm sixteen."

"So, what's this thing about her unknown brother?" Tohru finally asked.

"Her mom and dad had a kid 5 or 6 years before her. I don't know who he is?"

"How did you know her mother's maiden name?" Yuki asked.

"This is more questions then I expected. After living with her for awhile and letting her mind open up to me, I finally got some information."

"Is Sakari-san still sick?" Tohru asked.

"Yup, I didn't let Soji stay there. Right now, she's going through people's lockers. It's funny, what she's finding in those things."

"Hey, Tohru." Uo said walking up with Hana. "Amikara, right."

"Yes. Uotani?" Tori asked.

"You really can read minds." Hana said.

"Yes. And you Saki, you can read waves." Tori said scanning her.

"Yes, and I can see yours are very calm, calmer than other people."

"Hey, onee-chan. Look at what I found." Soji said jumping out of nowhere. "It's the notebook of the "PYFC". Whatever that is."

"O my god." Yuki rolled his eyes.

"The Prince Yuki Fan Club. It's a group of girls who are obsessed. No, wait, obsessed doesn't cover it. Worship is the better word; they worship Yuki. They think he's a prince. I think he's far from it." Kyo said.

"Something seems scratched out on the cover." Uo stared hard at the cover.

"Lemme see it. It looks like it was originally written with a ball-point pen and a Sharpie was used to destroy the evidence of the previous title."

Uo handed it over. Soji closed one eye and held the notebook at an angle so the sun glared off of it, in such a way to reveal to her the damaged title.

"K.R.F.C? I suspect Yuki-kun has a superior. The King, insert someone else's name here, Fan Club."

After School-Shigure's Home

"Come on, Rika. One foot in front of the other." Tori said. She was helping Rika in the house. "Dammit, start walking or I will drop you!"

"I'm so dizzy. I can't walk. I just want to die." Rika said.

"If you do that, I'm gonna have to deal with a baby who's been rejected. I've never done that, and I don't want to."

"Huh?" Kyo sounded.

"The reincarnation will make the curse spring into another vessel. And it is always a baby." Soji stated behind Tori.

"So you're some kind of super genius?" Kyo asked.

"Just like everyone else before me." Soji said. "Did you know that Confucius had the curse of Leo?"

"But don't they have irregular hair colors? His hair was black, wasn't it?"

"Nope, it was a very very dark blue. It looked black, though."

"The Libra before me was Arin's grandfather." Tori said.

"Wait, doesn't that mean you have to be in the same family?" Kyo asked.

"Not exactly, sometimes the Astro Zodiac will be in the same family or it won't. It's strange, really. But the Chinese Zodiac has to be in the same family. Sometimes the Astro will crossover into the Chinese Zodiac's family. Not one of the Chinese Zodiac, never that, but rather just in the Zodiac's family." Soji said.

"Please, I want to die." Rika yelled. "Tohru kill me."

"Oh, crap! Someone has to knock Tohru out." Kyo said. "Why did you do that?"

"Please this is horrible. The stars said it was my time."

"They didn't mean it was your time to die." Tori said. "Your time for your powers to be erased for a couple days. That's why you're having this cold. My time was when I was 4. Soji hasn't had hers yet. Your power won't work anymore and your eyes will go gray."

"Oh, thank you. I didn't want Tohru to get hurt." Kyo said. Everyone stared at him. "What? I can't have empathy?" Everyone nodded and went back to what they were doing. Kyo blushed.

Wow. A cold thingy and a little Kyohru. Next chapter will be more Kyohru. Trust me. A little more info on the Astro Zodiac, also.

RxR peoples.

A/N: I have decided to ditch the certain amount of people must review for an update. A certain friend of mine stopped me. I will try to get the next chapter up today. Review if you do so wish. And yes, I suppose Tori is like Hana. But in later chapters the difference will be clear. Until then, this is Spuffy signing off. Here's your moment of zen. (My mini random-ness series of Naruto)

Naruto: Believe it!

Sasuke: Believe what?

Naruto: The Boise State Broncos damn near pwned the Oklahoma Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl.

Sasuke: Yeah I saw that too. 43 to 42. I guess the BSU Broncos have really made a name for themselves, instead of some unnoticed team of a northern desert.
