"Honda-san," called out the voice of Yuki from inside the corridors, "Are you in there?"
Tohru looked up from a huge box covered with dust as she answered, "Hai, Yuki-kun. Please come in."
The door opened slightly as a fair featured figure entered the room, "What are you doing in here Honda-san?" he questioned, eyeing the box suspiciously.
"I was just cleaning out my closet," she answered, almost embarrassed by the mess in her room, "it's been a while since I last looked at them. So I thought it would be nice if I clean it out."
Yuki nodded in understanding, as a book lying on top of the bed caught his attention. No matter how hard he tried, he wasn't able to take his eyes off of it as if it was calling to him. Tohru saw the direction of his gaze and picked it up as she answered, "I got this from an antique shop when I was eight. I was in there with my mom, when the shopkeeper said that it was calling to me and it wanted me to take it."
"It was calling to you?" Yuki inquired, fingering the leather cover of the dark green book in Tohru's hand, as he read the letters up front, "Endless Tale," he said in a slightly interested tone as he squinted his eyes to read the smaller letter on the bottom, "Our destiny is something we cannot escape from. It's something destined to happen one way or another, with or without our approval. We live in an endless cycle that we can never quite get away from. We are doomed to repeat our past life over and over again until the end of time."
"It seemed like an interesting book so my mom bought it for me, but I was only able to get to the first page of it, because the other pages seemed to be stuck together," Tohru answered, slightly disappointed as she handed Yuki the leather covered book, "I haven't seen this in years. I thought I lost it 8 years ago, when we moved."
Yuki nodded in acknowledgement as he read the name on the bottom of the book, he then gasped in shock as Tohru stared at him, evidentially worried, "its written by Souma Yunosuke during the Edo period. 1618 to be specific."
"Souma?" Tohru questioned, "now I know where I've heard the name Souma before I even met you. It was from this book. I probably would've remembered it, but I really thought I had lost this. I'm sorry Yuki-kun!"
"Dai-jo-bu Honda san," Yuki smiled kindly before opening the front cover of the ancient book, "this really should be a family artefact if it was actually written by a Souma during that time. I wonder how it ended up in an antique shop." Yuki slowly scanned the first page of the book before reading it out loud, "Our family was bound together by the curse, the very same one that separates us from the rest of society. It all started with a simple wish that would change our lives forever-, 1598-1601 Azuchi-Momoyama." 'So Yunosuke-san knew about the curse. I never knew it went so far back. Maybe, maybe he knows how it all started, and maybe he knows how to break it,' Yuki thought hopefully as his eyes scanned the page once more.
"Curse? It means that this is actually by a cursed member of the Soumas during the Azuchi-Momoyama period?" asked Tohru, going off to her shocking mode; "You mean I could've known about you earlier without me knowing it? I'm sorry for not telling you about this book! If I did then maybe I could've understood you even more! I'm sorry Yuki-kun!"
"It's alright Honda-san, really," Yuki tried to reassure the apologetic girl before reading further from the book, "Blood is the strongest bond of all. It is the key to unveil many mysteries," Yuki finished uncertainly before asking Tohru, "Did you say that the pages were stuck from now on?"
"Hai Yuki-kun," Tohru answered, relaxing a little, "It wouldn't open no matter how hard I tried."
"Maybe the last passage meant something…" he read the sentence once more as he chewed his lower lips, "blood is the strongest bond of all… what could it mean? And how would it be the key to unveil many mysteries?" Yuki trailed his finger along the ancient pages of the dark green book, before trying to pull it open, but without any success.
"Maybe it means that families share a special bond. Only with that bond that this book can be opened?" Tohru suggested, eyeing the book with new interest.
"That makes sense Honda-san," Yuki answered, shooting her a sweet smile before getting up from her bed, "maybe I should call Shigure or Kyo to see if they can open it. They are family after all."
"Hai, Yuki-kun!" Tohru agreed before, rushing out of her room and down the stairs, calling Shigure and Kyo's names.
"Sometimes she gets way to excited and gets too reckless. If she keeps going on like that, she'd get hurt one of these days," Yuki muttered to himself hopelessly, as he made his way down the staircase with the leather-covered book tucked safely under his arm. 'Maybe this is the key to unveil the mystery within our curse?'
