I turned over in the bed, tying to block out the sun, when I heard the door open and close. I groaned and shifted so I was facing whoever decided to disturb my slumber, I peeked out of the edge of the quilt I saw Hatori leaning against the door with an unreadable expression on his face.
" Hey what's the matter?" I asked.
Hatori's head snapped up at my question and a look of regret crossed his face before he put on his poker face.
" Shigure, Ayame, Tohru, Haru, Momiji, Yuki and Kyo are coming here for the weekend," Hatori replied quietly.
I climbed out of bed I walked over to his slumped form. I knelt down beside him and drew him into a hug and let him cry.
" Shh, it will be okay and anyway they were bound to find out sometime so why not now," I soothed.
" Yes but I thought we would have a few more weeks of peace and quiet before Akito and everyone else found out," Hatori confided.
" I know, I did too but what's done is done there is no way that we can change time so we must make the best of a bleak situation," I reassured.
" When did you become so philosophical?" Hatori asked.
" When my brother decided to smuggle me away from a living hell," I replied blankly.
Hatori snorted before standing and leaving the room to start on breakfast. Five minutes I came clamouring down the stairs dressed in black short shorts and a black tank top that showed my pierced belly button with my hair down and no brown contacts in to cover up my emerald green eye colour. I sat down at the breakfast bar and started to eat the omelette he had prepared when we heard a commotion.
" Shut up you damn rat," someone yelled.
" Stupid cat," another person replied.
Hatori and I looked at each other before standing up as a unit and moving to the front door. I yanked it open and punched the person in the face. I looked down to see Yuki sprawled on the floor, a bruise forming on his cheek.
" How did you take him down and who are you?" an orange-head, red-eyed male demanded.
" That's for me to know and you to find out cat," I growled in response.
" How did she know Kyo was the cat?" a brown haired girl asked.
" Its Tohru right?" I asked.
Tohru nodded before helping Yuki up off the floor.
" I know two members of the Zodiac," I replied airily.
" Haru," a man's voice yelled before I felt something or someone knock me down and a crushing weight landed on top of me.
" Get off her Shigure she's here because of a medical reason and if this reason is made worse I will personally hurt you," Hatori threatened.
" I'm sorry Ha'ri please don't hurt me," Shigure pleaded cowering behind Ayame.
" Oh shut up Shigure you sound like a six year old," I grumbled.
" How could she hug him without him transforming?" Tohru asked confusedly.
" HIKARU, KAROU I'm going to kill you," a male voice screamed.
We all looked up to see six boys flying through the air and land at our feet. I looked down to see Kyoya and Mori had landed at my feet.
" Haru we should go inside and leave the loons alone," Shigure said loftily.
I rolled my eyes before helping up the two boys at my feet and walked to stand by Hatori's side. The Host Club stood in a line before us in their swimming gear.
" Hey isn't he the guy that came to check out Haruhi?" the twins asked the other Hosts.
" Yes he is," Kyoya said pushing his glasses up his nose once again.
" How do you know them Ha'ri?" Momiji asked.
" Because Momiji I am good friends with them," I said.
All eyes turned to me and the twins mouths dropped to the floor along with Tamaki's at what I was wearing.
" Haruhi what are you wearing? And what's up with your eyes?" three voices asked.
" Clothes and this is my natural eye colour," I replied.
" Haruhi you could have mentioned that you were staying here with the Sohma family in their private lake house," Kyoya admonished.
" Maybe I didn't because I wanted to spend time with my family," I yelled before a coughing fit overtook me.
Hatori ran towards me and bent me over while patting my back, I put my hand up to my mouth to stop the blood that was going to come but didn't get there in time.
" What the hell is wrong with her?" Kyo asked.
I straightened up and wiped my mouth avoiding the small pool of blood that lay on the ground.
" I have a medical condition," I replied.
Hatori motioned for the others including the Host Club to go inside and we followed. I sat down next to Hatori and leaned against him.
" What do you mean medical condition Haru?" Honey asked.
" When Haruhi was born the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck, when the doctors had unwrapped it they discovered that she had a big hole in her chest and one of her lungs was partially collapsed she was breathing blood," Hatori said before stopping.
" The doctors thought I was dead but Ha'ri here grabbed me out of their hands and applied pressure to my chest, I cried a strangled cry before opening my eyes to see Ha'ri staring down at me. I was operated on but as I got older my condition showed no signs of improving, I take medication to help me breathe," I finished.
Yuki stood up and walked to the window while Shigure pulled me into a hug.
" But that still doesn't explain why you are here?" Haru asked.
" I'm Hatori's younger sister," I explained.
" We're ten years apart but I was the one raising her and when she was seven I smuggled her away from Akito and she went to live with Kotoko and Ryoji Fujioka," Hatori said calmly.
" I know you're freaking out seahorse," I teased.
" Oh really you insolent pup?" Hatori mocked.
" Uh-huh maybe I need to remind you how this pup takes care of you," I cajoled.
Hatori didn't say anything but he picked me up and ran outside and dumped me in the pool.
" You damn seahorse I am going to get you," I roared when I surfaced.
Hatori ran back inside and I followed him into the lounge room where everyone else was still sitting there in shock. I looked around and saw him hiding behind Ayame.
" Hey Ayame want to get your latest fashions for me to look at?" I asked.
" Sure," he said getting up and running out of the room.
Once Ayame had stood up I pounced on Hatori. I held his hands above his head and locked his legs by sitting on them.
" Say uncle Ha'ri," I cajoled.
" No," he replied sourly.
" Okay," I said before jumping up.
" What are you doing?" Hatori asked cautiously.
" Hatori here is a seahorse and he is an absolute pushover," I announced.
" You dared?" Hatori asked.
" I dared," I replied saucily.
" Damn wolf," Hatori mumbled.
"Wolf?" Tohru asked.
So I explained to the Host Club about how my family was cursed with the Zodiac and explained that I was the forgotten Zodiac and outcast, The Wolf. When I finished the Host Club looked a bit shocked at my family secret.
" How come you can hug us then?" Hikaru asked.
I sighed and stood before pulling Hikaru in to a hug.
POOF.
Gold smoke exploded as our chests touched and everyone coughed. When the smoke cleared I saw everyone stare at me. My wolf form has gold fur and emerald green eyes, my claws are silver and on my head there is a single silver teardrop.
" Wow Haru you look pretty," Honey said adoringly.
I bowed my head and turned to leave the room before an arm draped itself over my shoulders.
" Where you going Haruhi?" Hikaru asked teasingly.
" Yeah we were just getting to the fun part," Kaoru said as he also draped an arm over my shoulders.
I shook my head and twisted out of their arms to run and hide behind Hatori and Shigure. A second later there was another POOF and Shigure handed me my clothes over his shoulder.
" Thanks Gure," I said.
I walked out from behind them fully dressed to face the questioning stares of the Host Club.
" When we transform back into our human selves there is one problem, we're not clothed," I explained.
All of them blushed as my words sunk in, except for Kyoya, and mumbled something unintelligible.
