Chapter 7

"Can you…transform?" they all asked each other.

They all stared eyes and mouth wide open that they had both asked the same question to each other.

"Well can you?" asked Kyo.

"Can you?" questioned Tala.

"We asked you first," countered Shigure.

"What happens if we say no?" inquired Kai.

"Well we could say no as well," said Shigure.

Tohru stepped away from the crowd at the bottom of the stairs and stood on the middle of the stairs, looking from one group to the next.

"Look this is getting us nowhere. We should just sit down and talk about it," she suggested trying to keep peace between everyone.

They turned their gaze away from one another to her before quickly glaring at each other then nodding. The smaller group then followed the bigger one into the main room and they sat down around the table, silence reigning over the room.

Tohru placed cups around the table and poured everyone some green tea before sitting down and pouring some for herself. It was silent for a little while longer, each one of them trying to catch the other one out.

"Can someone please say something," said Mariah breaking the silence. They turned round to look at her before looking at each other again and sighing.

"Well can you?" asked Tala, being the first one to ask this time.

The Sohma family looked at one another before nodding, and Tala and Kai looked at each other before nodding as well.

"So is it just you two or are there more of you?" asked Shigure.

"Just the two of us…we think," replied Tala mumbling the last part.

"What is your curse about?" asked Yuki.

"Curse, who said anything about a curse?" asked Hilary a bit confused.

"Well then why do you transform?" asked Momiji.

"We don't know, we just do," replied Tala.

"So you don't know why you transform?" Both of them shook their heads.

"How do you transform?" asked Tohru.

"When a girl hugs us," replied Kai, the Sohma's nodding.

"So you transform the same way as us, you just don't know why?" Kai and Tala nodded.

"Well what's your curse about?" asked Hilary, this interesting her.

"Our curse is about the vengeful spirits of the Chinese Zodiac, and they possess one person in the Sohma family. We transform when we are hugged by the opposite sex or when our bodies are put under a great deal of stress," explained Shigure.

"So is that why you were looking at me weird when I caught Kisa?" asked Kai. They all nodded.

"We just thought that it was weird that she didn't transform when you caught her," said Haru. It was silent for a bit.

"So Tohru you're not cursed, are you?" asked Tala. She shook her head, as she was not a member of the Sohma family.

"Well what do you each transform into?" asked Mariah curious just like a cat would be.

"Dog," said Shigure.

"Cow," said Haru.

"Rabbit," said Momiji.

"Tiger," quietly said Kisa.

"Rat," told Yuki.

"So that's why he called you a rat," said Mariah getting it now. Yuki and Kyo just nodded.

"Cat," said Kyo wondering what their reaction would be.

"But the cat is not in the Chinese Zodiac," pointed out Hilary.

"I know, it's because when Kami-sama invited everyone to the party the next day, the rat told that the cat that it was the day after tomorrow and the cat missed it," explained Kyo his head down the whole time, not wanting to tell them the other part of his part of curse. They all nodded.

"Are there other people in your family that can transform into the rest of them as well?" asked Kai. They nodded, and Shigure got out a photo album.

"My older brother, Ayame can transform into the snake," Yuki told them, pointing to his brother's picture.

"Yes he, Hatori and I were best friends in school, we still are. Hatori can transform into the seahorse or better known as the dragon," told Shigure pointing to the picture of Hatori, Ayame and him.

"Why a seahorse?" asked Tala wanting to laugh but knowing that he shouldn't.

"Because the Chinese say that seahorses are descendants of the dragon," made clear Yuki.

"Ritsu transforms into the monkey," told Momiji pointing to a picture of Ritsu wearing normal clothes.

"Kagura can transform into the boar," Kyo told them pointing to a picture of the girl, which happened to show Kagura hugging Kyo very tightly.

"Why is it that when two people who are cursed hug they don't transform?" asked Mariah.

"We don't know, and we don't think that we ever will," replied Shigure as they turned back to the photos. "Oh and one more thing Kagura has a slight crush on Kyo," added Shigure smiling.

"Slight! Slight! How come every time she sees me I get pummelled into the ground?" shouted Kyo.

"Why does she hit you if she likes you," asked Hilary not really feeling the urge to hit Kai right now.

"Because Kagura shows her affection in a different way," said Shigure and they all sweat dropped remembering the last time she was here.

"This is Isuzu, but we call her Rin and she transforms into the horse," Shigure tells them, pointing to a picture of her.

"This is Hiro, he transforms into the ram," Kisa quietly tells them.

"And we don't have a picture of him, but the rooster is Kureno he stays with the head of our family Akito Sohma most of the time," explains Yuki. They all nod taking this new information in.

"So what do you two transform into?" asked Tohru curious as to what they would transform into.

"Well I transform into a phoenix," told Kai.

"And I transform into an ice wolf," replied Tala.

"An ice wolf?" asked Yuki a bit puzzled at what that was.

"Yea it looks like my Bit Beast Wolborg," he told them, "just like Kai looks like his Bit Beast Dranzer."

"What's a Bit Beast?" asked Tohru.

"Well it's inside a Beyblade," replied Mariah.

"What's a Beyblade?" asked Yuki.

"You don't what a Beyblade is?" asked Kai. "Do you know who I am; do I look familiar at all?" They all shook their heads.

"I'm the Beyblade World Champion along with my team the Bladebreakers ever heard of them?" They all shook their heads again.

"Do you watch TV?" asked Tala, they all nodded.

"Then how come you have never seen him, or Mariah or Hilary or me before?" asked Tala. They all shrugged.

"Well this is a Beyblade," said Kai pulling Dranzer from his pocket. "And this bit chip in the middle is my Bit Beast Dranzer and that's what I look like when I transform." Tala also took out his Beyblade and showed it to everyone, showing them what he transformed into, now getting what an ice wolf was.

"So a bit beast is just a picture that's stupid," said Kyo lying back on the floor.

"It's not a stupid picture carrot top. When you put a bit-chip into a Beyblade, and a Beyblade into a launcher and rip it this is what happens," said Kai putting Dranzer into his launcher and ripping it.

"What'd you just call me?" shouted Kyo standing up but jumped up onto the table as Dranzer spun around his feet.

"Come on out Dranzer," Kai shouted as Dranzer came out of her bit chip shrieking as she did. Tala also stood up smiled as he ripped his Beyblade and letting Wolborg out, him roaring.

"Still think it's just a picture?" asked Tala.

"No it's a hologram," Kyo said trying to prove them wrong.

"Nope, wrong again if it was could it do this. Dranzer Fire Arrow," Kai shouted as Dranzer flew up into the air then came back down fire covering the Beyblade and burning Kyo and Tala took this chance to freeze him.

Yuki smiled at this, "where do I get myself one of those," he asked as Kai and Tala smirked.

"The objective of the game is to be the last one spinning," Kai told them as his Beyblade and Tala's hit each other before returning to their masters' hands. "If they both go out at the same time it's a draw, just like it was now, though usually I beat him."

"Hey I do win as well," Tala shouted as Kai just smirked.

"Still think it's not real?" asked Kai.

"Nope," Kyo quickly shaking his head not wanting to get hurt again.

They then all sat around the table again Tohru pouring more green tea as they all started to talk to each other feeling more comfortable now that their secrets were out in the open, well maybe not all of them.
