*Ayame Sohma*
I laughed as I chased after Amaya. She giggled and smiled brightly. "Come here my sweet Amaya. My dear, dear sweet Amaya!" A unicorn pranced across the sky leaving a rainbow behind it and I smiled. It was so beautiful. I felt as if I was dreaming. "You'll have to catch me!" Excalimed Amaya. I smiled brightly and went to jump on her. That was when I was slammed down into the ground. I looked up at Hari who had his foot on my head and had a pair of bunny ears. "That's enough Ayame."
"NO COME BACK AMAYA!" I shot up and looked around. I was in my bedroom and Hari was standing beside the bed looking at me with a disdainful look on his face. "I dont even want to know what you were dreaming about. But I came to wake you up." I sighed. "I guess I should get up and get ready, huh?" Hari nodded. I pulled myself from bed and got dressed. I grabbed my bags and took them down stairs discarding them beside the door with Hari and Shigure's bags. I was about to head back up stairs when I heard a yell. I headed to Shigure's room and saw him sitting on his bed panting while Hari stood in front of him rolling his eyes. "Man, there was an evil giant spider after Amaya and I." He rubbed his head and I smiled. I launched myself onto Shigure and he laughed. "Really? In my dream I was chasing Amaya through a field of flowers and there were unicorns dancing across the sky!" Shigure smiled brightly and a sparkle lit in his eyes. Amaya in a beautiful pink dress danced across my mind. "You two are a couple of perverts." Hari then left us to our day dreaming while he went to wake Amaya.
*Amaya Suzuki*
My eyes slowly opened and I saw Hatori standing beside the bed. "It's time for you to get up." I sat up and met Hatori's eyes with my own. "How do you feel?" He asked. I yawned and covered my mouth. "I feel better, thanks for asking." I small smile formed on his lips. "That's good. Call me if you need anything." I nodded and watched as Hatori walked from the room. I got out of bed and got changed into a light blue strapless dress. It went down to my knees and was in a plaid design of different blues. I put on a pair of leggings that went about three inches past my knees on underneath and put a ribbon in my hair. I looked at my bags. "HARI!" I yelled. After a few moments the door opened and Hari stood there looking at me. "Can you help me carry my bags down stairs?" I asked. He nodded. He grabbed all my bags and began carrying them down stairs. I followed, turning off the lights behind me. When I got to the door I saw that Ayame and Shigure were already waiting for us. "Are you two ready?" Asked Shigure.
Hatori and I both nodded. "Well then let's GOOOOOOO!" Exclaimed Ayame.
~2 hours later~
I sat on the bus with Hatori, Shigure and Ayame. I looked out the window at the surrounding area. It was truly beautiful. Something then caught my eye out the window by Hatori. I crawled over Hari's lap and looked out the window. I saw something large and brown then it was gone. "Did you see something Amaya?" Asked Shigure. "Yes I thought I saw something big and brown." I looked down and flopped into the seat by Hatori. "Maybe it was Jason!" I looked at Ayame and tilted my head. "Who is Jason?" I asked. He smirked. "Jason is a bear rummored to live by the lake!" My face went pale and I smiled sheepishly. "Relax, it's not true. Jason is a character from a Horror movie. Ayame and Shigure simply enjoy using Jason to scare people whenever we come to the lake." I sighed. "I knew that." Hari rolled his eyes. "No you didnt." I pouted and looked down. Ayame then bolted over to me. He cupped my face gently in his hands and smiled. "You dont need to say it so coldly Hari. I mean honestly, our little Amaya is a delicate flower, she needs the warmth and kindness." Hari rolled his eyes again. Ayame released me and ran over to Shigure. I got to my feet and grabbed my cup of tea. I heard Hari move behind me but I didnt really pay any attention to what he was doing. I was about to take a small sip of my tea when the bus lurched. I then felt the bus go out of control and after a minute we hit something and the bus tipped onto it's side. I let out a small yelp as I began falling, then closed my eyes waiting to feel the back of the chair ramming into my spine. But it never happened. Instead I felt my back hit something soft and firm. I opened my eyes and looked to see that I had landed on Hatori. I looked around for Ayame and Shigure to see that they were hanging from a chair at the now top of the bus holding hands. I pulled myself off of Hari and sat down beside him. "Are you okay Hatori?" I asked. He nodded. "Yes, what about you, you didnt get hurt did you?" He asked and I shook my head. "No im fine thanks to you. Thank you Hari." A tiny smile lit his face. "It's alright." "HARI, CAN YOU HEAR ME!" We both looked up at Ayame. "Ayame, I am not deaf. I can hear you just fine." I heard Aaya sigh. "That's good." Ayame and Shigure both smiled. "So are you two okay?" Asked Shigure. "Yeah were fine!" Shigure sighed. "Alright well Ayame and I will be down in a minute. Shigure and Ayame inched their way down to Hatori and I. "I AM SO GLAD MY PRECIOUS AMAYA IS OKAY!" Ayame grabbed me and spun me in a circle before placing me back at Hari's side. "I wonder why we crashed." We all headed to the door. It was closed, obviously. Ayame and Shigure then managed to pull it open and we all crawled through. I sighed as I crawled out, Hatori right behind me. We both stood up and I saw that Shigure and Ayame had stopped. We walked over to them and gasped. There was a huge bear standing in the middle of the road. "It's...it's... IT'S JASON!" We all exclaimed then we ran to the door of the bus and crawled back in. "Phew that was a close one." A bear paw
then shot in right beside me and I gasped, my whole body qivering. Ayame pulled me away from the door and sat me behind himself, Shigure and Hatori. I then heard a gun shot and after a minute a girl peeked her head in the door. "Are you four alright?" She asked. We all nodded. "Well you can come on out now, I just tranquilized the bear so it should be fine now. We all crawled out of the bus and got to our feet once again. "I assume you four are headed to the lake." We nodded. "Well you actually arent allowed to, the lake is Sohma property meaning that unless you were given permission by the Sohma family you cant go there." Shigure and Ayame both smirked. "Unless we are members of the Sohma family of course." She blinked in surprise. "Are you members of the Sohma Family?" She asked. They both nodded. "Yes, I am Ayame Sohma. This is Shigure Sohma, and the one back there is Hatori Sohma. The other one is a girl who lives with us who we are bringing with us to the lake. Her name is Amaya Suzuki." The ranger
nodded. "Well I am the ranger for the area around the lake. If we can retreive you're things then I can give you a ride down to the lake in my car." We all nodded.
*Ayame Sohma*
I hummed as I pulled two of Amaya's bags from the bus. I put them in the car then walked back to help grab more bags but gasped as I ran straight into the ranger. "Hey Ayame... Uh oh." I sighed as I transformed. Shigure shot past her and grabbed my clothing and I quickly slithered away to Hari. I slithered under his shirt and sat right around his neck. "You have to be more careful Ayame." I looked at him. "I know, i'm sorry Hari." Amaya then walked over and I hid under the collar of Hari's shirt. "Hey where did Ayame go?" She asked. "Oh he already got in the car." Amaya nodded and walked over to the car to put her bags away. "What do we do Hari?" I asked. "We just act natural." I nodded. Shigure then walked over with my clothes and a silver wig and pillow he went to the car and layed them all down on the seats so it looked like I was in there. Hari walked over to the car and I slithered into it, under my clothing. Hari left the door slightly open so that I could get out if I wanted to before walking back to
help grab more of our bags. I peeked my head out a bit to see what was going on then saw Shigure run right into the Ranger and transform. He grabbed his clothing in his mouth then ran for the car while Hari distracted her. I pushed the door open a bit more with my head and Shigure jumped in. He flopped his clothing on the seat before grabbing the handle with his teeth and pulling the door closed a bit more. "We have to hurry and get Hari out of there. If Hari transforms then the secret is out." I looked at Shigure and nodded. "You're right. Because the mobility of a sea horse is kinda limited on land. And plus..." The door then opened and Amaya looked at us. We both closed our mouths. "Ruff!" She rolled her eyes. "I heard you talking." She climbed into the car closing the door behind her. I slithered over to Amaya, wrapping myself around her wrist. Shigure then layed down on her lap. "Okay you caught us. You see we have a family curse that makes members of our family turn into the animal's of the Chinese
Zodiac. As you can see, I am the dog and Aaya is the snake." She blinked in surprise. "What is Hari?" She asked. "Hari is the Dragon." I answered. She seemed to be day dreaming for a minute before she snapped back to reality. "Alright, now we need you to go out there and make sure that Hari doesnt run into that girl. Because that is how we transform. It's when we are hugged by a member of the oposite sex but running into them causes us to transform as well. Now shoo." Amaya glared down at Shigure. "You're the dog so you shoo." Shigure jumped off Amaya's lap and I released her arm. She climbed from the vehicle and was about to close the door when Shigure stopped her. "And if Hari does transform, hide his clothing behind you and grab Hari!" Amaya nodded.
*Amaya Suzuki*
I walked over to Hari. "So I assume you heard the whole story from Shigure and Ayame. So do you think we are freaks?" I blinked in surprise then smiled. "Of course not." Hari looked at me. "I'm betting that this secret is what made you three the people you are today." I saw him blush ever so slightly. He then turned around and ran straight into the ranger. I gasped as a puff of smoke shot into the air. I grabbed Hari's clothing and stuffed it in a bag then looked at Hari. He was... A sea horse. I gasped. "AHHHHH! WATER!? SEA WATER!? WHAT DO I DO!? HARI!" I grabbed Hari and he looked up at me. "Relax." He said quietly. "What's up with the sea horse?" She asked. "Oh it is my pet sea horse Hari. But it seems he got out of his tank somehow. I seem to have the last of our bags so shall we get going?" She nodded. That was when Shigure and Ayame came bolting over. Shigure cuddled against my legs and Ayame hid under the collar of my sweater. I looked over at the car to see a bear ripping at the car. I sighed. "Guess were walking." I put Hatori in my pocket and grabbed as many of our bags as I could. Shigure then grabbed some in his mouth. Ayame slithered onto Shigure's back and grabbed the final bag with his teeth. We then started walking. "Sorry to make you carry most of the bags Amaya." I looked at Shigure and smiled. "It's alright." I glanced at Hatori and saw him looking up at me. "Yes and I am sorry that I cannot be of any use in this form." I blinked in surprise. "That's fine Hari, you deserve a break. You have been doing so much lately. So you deserve a break so you can just relax and let us handle everything for once. Right Shigure, Ayame?" I looked at them and they both nodded. That was when a puff of smoke shot into the air and I gasped when I saw Shigure and Ayame standing together naked. I dropped all my bags then turned away and covered my eyes. "Hari. My mind has been scarred." Hari chuckled. "Well it's not our fault that we turn back naked." I sighed. "Well I know that but still." They both dug out some of their clothing and put it on. We then all began to head for the lake again. When we got there a smile spread across my face. It was beautiful. "Can you put me in the water Amaya?" Asked Hari and I nodded. I took him from my pocket and put him in the water. He sighed. He then dissapeared under the water and showed up again about a minute later. "There, that's better." There was then a puff of smoke and I closed my eyes. "You can open you're eyes, I'm covered by the water." I opened one eye and saw that it was true. Hari was sitting in the lake with water dripping from his hair and down his face. I grabbed Hatori's clothes and put them down on the ground with a towel then turned around. After a minute Hari walked over to me. "Alright let's head to the house." I nodded and we all headed over. I had a feeling that this would be the most interesting vacation I had ever been on.
