Yay. Seems people actually like this so far. Let's hope I can continue living up to it. Also, thank you every one who has read this and liked it so far, it's nice to know I'm doing okay so far. ... I say so far alot. Well... To the actually story!

Me? One of them? Kyo thought to himself. How could I be? I'm the cat... I've always been the loner. I've never fit in, so why should I now?

"Um... Kyo?"

Kyo shook his head quickly and glanced over at Tohru. She probably has nothing to worry about... Lucky her.

"Yeah?" Kyo said out loud.

Tohru glanced at the Soul Reapers. Who were they? She didn't have the nerve to ask. it just... Didn't seem like she was supposed to know. Not now, at least.

"If any of you need any thing... Just call for me, alright?"

Kyo nodded. "Alright."

Tohru walked off, deep in her own thoughts.

"Now. Who was that black haired guy? And the Purple haired one?" Rukia asked.

"Shigure and Yuki Sohma." Kyo said, sounding annoyed when he said Yuki's name.

"... Both are a Sohma? What, are you related?" Ichigo asked as he walked in with Renji, both of which had bruises on their heads from Rukia's scolding.

Kyo sighed, an anime tick mark appear on his forehead. "No. It's just a mark."

"A mark of what?"

Kyo seemed suspicious, but sighed and figured, What the heck, they reveiled a secret that involves me, plus that Ichigo guy turned into a cat... Maybe he'll know something.

"The mark of a curse. The Curse of the Zodiac." He explained.

"... The Zodiac? Like... The 12 animals? You were a cat, though... There's no cat in the Zodiac." Ichigo said with his head tilted some to the side.

"Hmm... Not in the normal Zodiac, sure." Torishi said.

"What do you mean?"

"What Tori-Tori means is that there's another bit of the legend not normally said. About the cat. It goes this way..." Rakuen started.

"A long long time ago, god decided to invite all of the animals to a banquet. He sent word for all of them to come to his house the following evening, and don't be late, he said. When the mischeivious rat heard the news, he decided to play a trick on his neighbor, the cat. He told the cat the party was the day after tomorrow."

"The very next day, all of the animals lined up for the celebration and the rat led the way on the head of the cow. Every one had a wonderful time. Except for the foolish cat who missed the whole thing."Rakuen finished. Torishi looked off, almost sadly.

"Wow. Cats ARE Foolish." Ichigo deadpanned. Kyo bristled.

"YOU'RE A CAT, IDIOT!"

"NO I'M NOT!"

"THEN WHAT WAS THAT OUTSIDE?!"

"THAT WAS A FLUKE!"

"THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!"

The two continued bickering, Rukia stared with a sweat drop. "They ARE Too much alike."

When Ichigo and Kyo were finally done arguing, Ichigo looked around. "Hey... I just noticed... Were the hell did Kenpachi go?"

"I'd rather not know." Rakuen and Torishi said as they shrugged.

"Riiight." Ichigo sighed.

"Now. I'm also curious... Who's that girl? Is she a Sohma too?" Toshiro asked.

"No. Her name is Tohru Honda. She's just living with Shigure, Yuki and I. She doesn't have a home. In fact, she used to live in a tent. Her mother was killed in an accident. I feel kinda bad for her, truthfully.. Don't go telling Yuki I said that, though." Kyo muttered the last part.

Rakuen shrugged, "It's not bad too feel emotion, ya know. You're almost as bad as Toshiro when it comes to that, I'm guessing."

Toshiro sighed. "I show emotion."

"When?"

"Every day."

"How? I only see you annoyed."

"That's an emotion."

Kyo couldn't help but laugh silently for a split second at that. These people were weird, sure, but at least they were friendly.

"So, you're the cat in the zodiac? And Some how Ichigo is too?" Rukia asked. Kyo nodded. "I am the cat, and I'm only guessing Ichigo is, too."

"Well, that's weird enough." Renji deadpanned.

For a second, Rukia thought in silence, then her eyes seemed to brighten... a lot.

"OH!!! Do you know the rabbit??? Is there a rabbit, too? Were is he? or Her.. Were is the rabbit?" She asked ecstatically.

"Uh... That'd be Momiji. He's not here... I don't think... Why are you so curious about the rabbit, any way?"

"She's obsessed with rabbits. She needs Rabbit therapy." Ichigo sighed. Rukia kicked him over. "Don't. Diss. Rabbits. Or me... Or my drawings, just for future notice."

Ichigo groaned. "But your drawings suck!!!" Rukia kicked him again and he decided it would be in his best interest if he shut up.

"Before you start kicking any one else.. Care to explain what a Soul Reaper actually is?" Kyo asked.

"A soul reaper is some one who helps Souls. There are good spirits, called Wholes, and bad spirits, called Hollows," Rukia explained.

"Soul Reapers preform Konso on Wholes, which gives them passage into Soul Society."

"And what of the hollows?" Kyo asked.

"The hollows, like the thing you saw earlier today, have to be vanquished. A Soul Reaper fights that hollow and kills it, which cleanses it's soul so it can go to Soul Society. Not all hollows can go to Soul Society, though."

"Which ones can't?"

"The truly evil ones. The ones that have done horrible crimes when they were alive."

"Well, that's interesting enough." Kyo said.

Rukia nodded. "You just need training... You need to learn how to be a Soul Reaper. And in doing so, you may learn who you truly are, and how you became who you are."

Well, chapter 3 is complete. I think this is a good little place to end for now. Oh, and i decided I may be doing little special one shots here and there, depending on certain things. Also, when i spend the night at Rakuen's house... I'm gonna be having little 'convorsations' with her at the end of a chapter. Yay for randomness.
