A/N : Finaly I got this written , I spent 3 hours yesterday just staring at my laptop trying to figure out what to write , although it didnt realy help that I stop writing right in the middle of a thought an tryed to pick back up later --'' anywayz , hope you enjoy the chapter.
" So what do you need to talk to me about shishou-san , an why did kyo need to leave? " I was feeling kinda on edge with kyo gone.
" We'll get to that , kyo had to leave because it's better if he dosn't know this , in fact after I tell you , you can't tell anyone, an call me kazuma theres no reason to be so formal , im not your shishou after all." he seemed kinda up beat an was starting to pour some tea.
" Ok , I understand , an how bout I call you kazu-san , so what's this big thing that no one can know. " I was now sitting across from him an waiting for an explination for why I was being kept from my sparing practice with kyo.
" How much do you know about your family and its past ?" this cought me way off gaurd , no one asked me about them , ever.
" Um , little to nothing , im . . . . . by myself , my parents died quite some time ago an I dont have any other family , so I've lived alone since then. "
" I see , well you may have been to little at the time to remember , but I knew you an your parents , back when you were 5 or 6 . "
" What , your right I dont remember , that was so long ago . . . . . . . . " I was thinking realy hard now , trying so much to remember.
" Remember , I brought you here to the dojo once , that was the day you first saw kyo . . . . . . . an you asked who the boy with the orengy hair was. "
" . . . . . . . OH YA ! I - I remember , I use to call you kazushu back then , an I remember seeing kyo , he was drawing in the sand with a stick . "
" Yes , yes he was , its good that you remember , it will save me some time , ok so I can tell you now what it is that no one can know outside of us. "
-------------------------------------
Kyo was outside going through his usual warm-ups , punching an kicking the air things like that , an every now an then he would cast a glance at the door that led into the room kasu-san an I were sitting in as if he expected to be able to just see through it or something.
The longer he was out there the more iritated he got , an eventually went to a part of the dojo where he wouldn't be able to see any part of the room.

" Your family is very special , it , like the sohma family , has a . . . . . gift , but the one on your family was put there to counteract the sohma family's. "
" So what your saying , is that theres a curse on my family , what kind of curse , whats is purpose ?" I was feeling just a little weirded out now.
" It's more of a blessing than a curse really , it's purpose was so that oneday the curse on the sohma family could be lifted . "
I was just sitting there now nodding my head as I tryed to soak all this in , my family . . . . meant to help the sohma family , what are the odds.
" See there are people in your family who were actually born in the year of the cat , its a very small window of time between the year of the boar an the year of the rat when the cycle starts over , an there is a new cat born every seven cycles . "
" Ok , I get it so far , but how are we suppose to help them , or . . . . how am I suppose to help the sohmas . " I was half confused half not.
" Well thats where it gets . . . . . . interesting , see to lift the curse you have to kill the one who is a direct desendent of the person who put the curse on the family in the first place , and the only living decendent of that person is akito. " he paused now an took a sip of his tea befor continuing.
" Also , you have to kill him with a special sword that was crafted by the one that blessed your family , who you are a direct desendent of ." I could tell he had stoped talking for now so I decided to add my two cents on the matter at hand .
" Ok , so what your saying is that I have to kill the head of the sohma family to lift the curse , an I have to do it with this special sword you speak of , that of which you wouldn't happen to know where I could find it would you ?" right about now I dont know wether to be happy that I know how to lift the curse , or to be weirded-out because I have to kill someone to do it.
" Actually , I do know where it is , your parents gave it to me to watch over untill you were old enough to know about it. " at this he got up an went into the next room an came back with what I can only guess was the sword wrapped in a cloth. When he unwrapped it . . . . . it looked so cool , it was a long twin edge katanna with a black an gold handle , an the sheath was black with an inlayed gold dragon and writen in japanese near the bottom was "The Spirits Freedom "
