I woke feeling hazy. It had been quite a drink I had sipped last night. All part of the plan, John? I think not.
I had a wicked hangover.
I looked in the mirror. I looked normal, maybe it didn't work!
Oh, shit.
I touched my now black and haphazardly cut hair. Ugh. It HAD worked then.
I padded outside my room in socked feet. I heard screams, and edged back as Akito was dragged off into the quiet room.
Worked a little too well. I groaned.
I stepped into the dining hall. Yuki and Kyo were fighting as usual, and I headed to get something to eat when—
Bump! I had crashed into Haru, knocking him over.
A couple of Mugenzu kids laughed and pushed on him. "Cow tipping! Cow Tipping!"
I grabbed each one by the shirt and lifted them up with a wicked smile. "Now. Where's Moa?"
No answer, then one of the girls, Sarah I think, spoke up.
"She's not our teacher!" Sarah said. "Nina-sensei is!"
I put them down. "Oh really." I muttered. "That little brat is in big trouble. When I get my hands on—" I squeezed the air.
"Oi! Kuri!" Haru called again. "I've been calling you for awhile."
"You have?" I shook my head. "Sorry about the Mugenzu kids. They don't know any better, they don't…know…" I struggled, but couldn't explain.
"Want to explain how you became a Sohma? And Zodiac member?"
Oh man, that plan had gone too well. I was gonna GET John!
