'So that's the Souma's curse….'Kurapika said finally.
'You knew??' The Souma's stared at him. How would someone not in the family know? Sure it was not Tohru who told…she had been keeping their secret ever since the moment she knew about it.
'Yes. Of course I knew…'Kurapika began.
'That Akito Souma…..he's a friend of Hisoka……the magician…when I was trying to kill him, just before I pushed my sword into his heart, he said something……something about animals of the Chinese zodiac animals……he then became unconcious. I really wanted to understand what he was saying and so I searched through his pockets and things. After reading everything- letters, notes and his cards, I drew a conclusion-Hisoka was trying to help a guy called Akito, who was head of the Souma family. Hisoka tried to find a way to take a curse away, whatever it is.'
'So….does it mean……, there's one more "outsider" who knew about the Souma thing? Akito actually had a friend??? It really is unbelievable…'
said the dog.
'I guess there's one more thing I can no longer hide from all of you. I'm really sorry that I lied to you guys but I had to do it 'coz it would make things more convenient.' Kurapika took a deep breath.
'Actually, I am……I am……'
Kurapika had no courage to admit it. How would everyone think? How would Leorio, Killua and Gon react?
'I am, actually…..a…a…'
Everyone stared at him. Wating for him to say the word after 'a' . NO one had ever seen him so anxious. He used to be a calm person. He might get really angry or even out of his minds sometimes, but certainly no one has ever seen him tremble like this. It's just isn't something one would expect from an oustanding guy like him.
No, Kurapika just couldn't do it…no, the usual courage had gone away completely.
Tohru didn't want to see her friend so anxious. She decided to help. She put her encouraging hands on Kurapika's trembling ones.
'A girl, ' Tohru said lightly.
There was complete silence.

—POP!!!!!
'Would you mind wearing something!!!!!!!' Kurapika shouted as she saw a naked Shigure. She's really angry but relieved that something like a dog turning into a human again happened so that the whole serious atmosphere changed a bit.

'But why is Kurapika a girl?' Gon asked innocently.
'Well, I find no better way than telling the truth when I don't really have a reasonable excuse.'
And so Shigure explained the curse about the particular 12 Soumas turning into Chinese zodiac animals when hugged by someone of the opoposite sex.
Everyone fell into deep thoughts and there was once again complete silence.
