All Things Together

Chapter 3: Secrets Unveiled

Wolfie-chan: I'm back! Didn't you just love my cliffhanger?

Haru: No. I hated it.

Wolfie-chan: ….T_T...killjoy…on with the story!

Claimer: Chihiro belongs to me

Grimmjow: SHE FUCKIN' BELONGS TO ME!

"Everyone, just calm down. We are going to be civil people." Rukia glared at them all, daring them to say anything. Ichigo hugged her. And got pushed by Renji, and bumped into Orihime, who crashed into Haru. Haru turned into a cow. Everyone stared.

Grimmjow broke the silence. "What the fuck?"

"Oh shit." Kyo stared at the now cow Haru, then at the aw-struck group.

"Well…should we call Hatori?" Kureno didn't seem to upset.

"I guess. Go call him. I'm gonna explain this shit to them." Everyone stared. Not only was Haru a cow (or really, an ox), but he was a talking cow (ox).

"Explain. Now." Renji felt the need to say that.

"Kay…so…our family, the Sohma family, is cursed. We turn into an animal from the zodic when we come into contact with another person of the opposite sex. Haru is the ox, I am the rat, Kureno is the rooster, and Kyo is the cat." Yuki explained.

"Wait…you said the zodiac…but the cat's not part of the zodiac.." Rukia looked at them all, confused.

"I am not explaining that and neither are they." Kyo stated.

"Okay…so why are you calling that person-Hatori?" Ichigo was pretty sure that was his name.

"Hatori can erase memories…he'll erase your memory of this." Yuki said as Kureno walked back in.

"Hatori is coming. He's gonna make them a deal. He'll be here soon."

Oo0oO

"Hello." Hatori glanced at them all. They all stared at him. He hated to do this.

"Kureno said you'd make us a deal?" Ichigo stared boldly at Hatori.

"Ha'ri? You in here?" Shigure pranced into the room. "Akito~ oh, who's this?" Shigure was staring at Orihime.

"Shigure…I'm working." Hatori growled.

"You were saying.." Rukia prompted.

"Yes. You tell us your secret that I know your hiding, and you can keep you memory."

Ichigo, Renji, Rukia, Orihime, Chad, Uryu, Chihiro, and Grimmjow glanced at each other. Was it worth it. They decided- "Fine." Ichigo stated.

"Good. Start talking."

"We are soul reapers. We help the dead move on. We are from a place called the Seireitei. Ichigo is a deputy soul reaper. He's from here. Orihime has powers, as does Chad. Uryu is the last Quincy, which is sort of like a soul reaper, Chihiro has powers, and Grimmjow's an Espada." Rukia explained.

"Can we go to the-" 'poof' Haru changed back and started putting his clothes on. "–Seireitei?" Tohru looked hopeful, ignoring the half naked Haru.

"Sure. Why not? We're supposed to go back now anyway." Renji said.

"Fine. But we're bringing Ayame, Mine, Hiro, Kisa, and Momiji too." Shigure grinned.

"Sure. Why not?"

Oo0oO

They soon found out why not. Ayame was the most dramatic person any of them had ever met, and that was including Rangiku, Shunsui, and Rangiku's daughter, Kazuma. Mine wasn't much help, either, always fluttering around Ayame.

"Shut up and pack, Aya." Hatori sighed. Why oh why did he let Shigure decide they needed Aya. He rubbed his face, then winced. He had a large, mottled purple bruise over his right eye, because Akito had been very irritated. Shigure had been coming to find him when he went to the Kurosaki's, and Akito had wanted him. When he came so late, she decided he needed to be punished.

"You shouldn't rub it, darling Tori. It will make it hurt more." Aya glanced at Hatori, concerned.

"I know. I am, after all, the doctor."

"I know, Tori. By the way, what are we gonna tell Akito?" Aya sang.

"I don't know."

Oo0oO

I the end, they decided telling Akito nothing and just leaving was the best idea. And so Renji, Rukia, Ichigo, Orihime, Uryu, Chad, Chihiro, Grimmjow, Hatori, Ayame, Kyo, Yuki, Mine, Machi, Kisa, Hiro, Momiji, Kureno, Uo (Arisa), Tohru, Shigure, and Haru left for the Seireitei.

"So….how do we get there?"

Oo0oO

Wolfie-chan: I am very very very very sorry for the shortness of this chapter, but this seemed like a really good place to stop. R&R!
