*The Horse and the Rooster*

Author's Notes: Thank you so much to Vashkoda who reviewed! You're review made my day! I was so happy! And yes, the boys do need someone to hug!! ^__^ I think this chapter will, eventually, answer your last statement as to why they're surprised to see the two. If not then the next chapter most definitely will.
If anyone has any suggestions for pairings, review and tell me what you think. I'll do shounen-ai parings, too! Just tell me... please.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do ya hear that?" Kyo stood from the table, looking out the open door.
"I believe that you are imagining things." Yuki said softly, taking a sip of his tea. "Now please sit and finish the nice dinner that Tohru has worked so hard to make us."
"I am not hearing things, ya damn rat!!" He went to the door, trying to peer outside into the woods that surrounded the house. "The laundry is in the way."
"Oh... heh heh, I'm sorry about that, Kyo. I'll get that first thing in the morning." Tohru bowed as much as she could from her seat at the table.
"You don't have to be sorry. Just be quiet." The slightest of blushes touched his cheeks before he waved it off.
"It sounds like a horse, though a small one at that." Shigure piped up, just as calm and composed as Yuki.
There was another moment of silence before there was a splash from the small fountain, and a small pony came galloping into the clearing, as graceful and composed as ever, though there was the slightest glint of panic in the black eyes. "No shit..." The words barely passed Kyo's lips before he started forward.
Immediately Akume backed away, a white sheet just behind her. 'Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Not yet. Stay away...' She could feel the fear of being spotted by another without Tsukeru near, and on top of that she was losing hold of her form. 'No...' A frightened whiney escaped her lips as she backed further away, letting the sheet separate them.
"Hey now, I'm not gonna hurt you." 'What the hell is a horse doin' out here?' Kyo continued to advance, his hand lifting to pull back the sheet.
"Don't come near me!!" Akume cried, reaching out to grasp the sheet in her teeth and pulled it down around her just before she changed back into her nude, human form and dropped to her knees, curling into a fetal position.
Kyo just stared, wide-eyed, at the girl in front of him. She had to be his age, certainly not younger, maybe a year or two older. "Uh... Tohru... I think you should come here."
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? A lost pony, it seems." Shigure commented, a soft smile on his lips as he walked up with Tohru at his heels. "You really don't have to be afraid. I assume you're one of the Sohmas that contacted me earlier, no?"
Tohru's eyes got wide as her grin did. "You must be the horse!! Wow, it's been a really long time since I've met another zodiac!! What's your name?"
"Her name is Akume, the wild horse who's as timid as a kitten." Tsukeru strode calmly into the clearing from the way that Akume had earlier entered, though she made sure to miss the fountain. She picked up the sheet and carefully held it so that it covered the younger as she handed over her garments.
"Thanks, Keru." Akume looked up at her with a smile before she set to getting dressed.
"No problem, hun." Tsukeru smiled back at her before she turned back to the others, her smile becoming quite serious. "My name is Tsukeru Sohma, though the young one has opted to nickname me Keru, the lazy rooster. I assume you're the Sohmas we were able to write to?"
"That we are. I am Shigure, the dog, and I'll let the others introduce themselves. Is timid Akume always your scout?"
"She loves to run, so I let her run. She's usually more in control of herself, though, and doesn't change back so easily." She felt a hand on the sheet, gently pulling it from her grasp, and when she looked down to see that it was Akume she let the younger have it to hang it back up.
While the redhead dressed very much like Ayame -- in fact, exactly like Ayame, save that the outer garment was dark blue - the younger had different taste. She wore a short-sleeved, black, skin-tight black shirt with a loose, spaghetti-strapped, short dress, and spandex shorts that came down to her mid-thigh. She was built almost completely like Tohru, save that her legs had slightly more muscle. Her hair remained as it had earlier been, tied back into a braid.
"I'm Tohru Honda! I'm afraid that I'm not a Sohma, but I have been living here for about a year and a half now, so I know about the curse and everything. Well obviously, because I asked you what zodiac you were. But, anyway, it's very nice to meet you both!!" She bowed to them, grinning.
"My name is Yuki Sohma, born under the rat. And the... boy who advanced upon you without knowing better is Kyo, the cat, and I guess that should explain everything." Yuki was still calm and composed as he smiled softly to the two newcomers. "It's quite nice to have you both back among us."
"How... can you say that?" Akume asked, her dark brown eyes narrowing at Yuki, making everyone look curiously back at her, everyone but Tsukeru. "How can you talk so rudely about the cat? You're the one who screwed him over, and yet you speak of him as if he is the one who messed up. As soon as everyone knew what you did, they should have kicked you out of the zodiac and made him one. I can't believe that you have the gall to be angry with him for something you did. It's... disgusting almost, and you did such a horrible thing, pushing him into the river like that. I don't appreciate it at all, so the fact that he is the cat explains nothing."
Kyo, who had started to get quite angry at Yuki's remark, immediately calmed and looked all the more surprised at her.
"I used to teach, and Akume was one of my students. It's customary to tell them of the legend of the zodiac, the race and the feast. For most children it means nothing, but I guess it would naturally hit home for her and me. She yelled at the children who commented at how foolish the cat was, and has ever since. I'm not sure I exactly understand. She doesn't necessarily hate the rat, though, she just sympathizes with the cat, because like the cat, the horse was pushed back in the race because of the snake." Tsukeru explained, ruffling Akume's hair fondly. "She completely surpasses me in every aspect of writing, now that she has graduated on the high school level. My pride and joy!!" She looped her arms around Akume's neck possessively, yet lovingly.
"Oh, so you write?" Tohru asked, gaining a slight nod from Akume. "Shigure writes novels!!"
"Shigure Sohma? Yes, I've read his books, there's really not much that I don't read. It was because of his novels that I was able to contact him." Akume smiled broadly. "He's really quite a good writer. Perhaps I can learn some from you!"
Shigure blushed and nervously rubbed the back of his head. "Ha ha. Well, I'm not that good, but I'm glad that I have a fan at least."
"The food... is getting cold." Yuki said, daring to speak up again since Akume had snapped at him.
"Oh! That's right! Dinner! There's plenty, and I can always make more." Tohru gently took Akume's hand and started to pull her towards the house, hoping the others would follow, causing Akume to blush slightly.
"Well, I think we were hoping to make it to the main house tonight. Akume and I ate already, and I doubt there's much room for us here, what with three boys and a young lady living here."
"No no, it's late, you two really should stay here. After all, I doubt Akito would like it very much if you caused such a big commotion so late at night. Everyone... will gather for you two. It's been many a long year since the rooster and the horse ran from us, so it will be a great thing to have you back." Shigure argued, his usual smile on his face. "I have a few extra mats, since we usually have unexpected guests dropping by all the time."
Tsukeru thought over this a moment before she finally nodded. "I see. Well, in that case we can stay for the night. We won't take up much room, and Akume will cook breakfast to thank you."
Akume turned to glare somewhat at Tsukeru, about to protest that she should do it instead of volunteering someone else when Shigure spoke and silenced her. "That will be just fine. I'll look forward to it," he said, smiling at her. Akume blushed slightly and crossed her arms across her stomach, quickly turning away.
Tohru had already brought out two more sets of plates for the newcomers, and Yuki and Kyo had already claimed their usual seats. Tsukeru walked right in and sat down, Shigure having already gone to his own normal seat. Akume lingered by the doorway a moment, unsure of whom exactly to sit by.
"Oh! Here." Tohru quickly moved her things slightly over before she patted the small sitting pillow next to her. "If you'd rather sit by Tsukeru, I can move things around for that?"
"No, it's fine." Akume gave a small smile as she moved to sit by Tohru, every step and action fluid and graceful, as was one of the natural characteristics of a horse. "Thank you."
"So tell me, Tsukeru, Akume, how exactly was it, living away from the Sohma house?" Shigure inquired after the meal had finally gotten under way.
Akume bowed her head slightly, hearing his unspoken question as if he had come right out and said it. How did you manage to hide? The words rang in her head, causing the hands on her knees to tighten slightly, and her body to become rigid. She could feel Tsukeru watching her from the corner of her eyes, and knew that the older would take her unspoken rejection of the topic as her cue to answer the question.
Calmly Tsukeru placed the teacup back on the table before she looked back at Shigure with yellow eyes. "My parents, both the horse and the rooster, were forced from the main houses because of the leader's antics about love within the curse. It was hard for them to know, at first, if I was a zodiac or not, so for many years I was fine. When the incident did happen, my father, the horse, was there to easily erase the memories of those who saw. That was when he decided to teach me to erase memories as well." She paused, taking another sip of tea slowly. "Akume was born to my mother's friend, who had nothing to do with the curse. When her family rejected her, we took her in, creating a Sohma house of our own."
All was quiet for another moment before Akume spoke, her voice soft and timid, yet calling for the end of the conversation. "We knew there was somewhere else we had to be, so we came."
Silence once again fell over the room for a moment before Tohru took it upon herself to relax the uneasy girl beside her. "Will you be going to school with us, Akume?"
"I graduated last year, from Tsukeru's school." Akume explained.
"Oh... I see." The disappointment in Tohru's voice made Kyo and Yuki shift slightly, not liking for her to be is such a mood.
"But it might be fun, to go to a public school. I might actually learn something new." Akume added quickly, trying to lift the dark mood that had settled over everyone but Shigure and Tsukeru.
"I can get you enrolled, if you're sure that's what you want." Shigure offered.
"Shouldn't we talk to the head of the house first before start making any future plans? Who's to say that we'll even stay?" Tsukeru was slightly on the defensive side, taking the fact that Akume wanted to go to a public school the wrong way.
"Oh, but you must! It would be so wonderful to have you both stay with us!! I really hope that you will." Tohru pleaded.
Akume smiled at her, trying to quell the worry of the brunette. "Don't worry. Nothing will be decided until we speak to the head of the house."
"I'll call Hatori first thing in the morning to set that up." Shigure informed before sitting back and sighing contentedly. "Thank you for another absolutely delicious meal, Tohru! You never cease to amaze my taste buds!"
"Oh! But I'm sure it's not that good." Tohru said, waving her hand and blushing. "I mean, Akume didn't even eat a bite of it."
"Horses are vegetarians by nature, are they not?" Yuki pointed out, taking another sip of his tea before he set the empty glass on the table.
Akume nodded sheepishly. "Yes, I am."
"Well in that case, we have some vegetables in the fridge. I can make you something else if you'd like." Tohru offered eagerly.
"No, it's all right. I'm really just tired... I've been carrying a rooster on my back for some time now." She cut her eyes over to Tsukeru, giving the older a slight glare before she smiled back at Tohru.
"Right! I'll go set up places for you to sleep right away." Tohru jumped up from where she sat, but then looked back at all the dishes that needed to be cleaned, and immediately she was torn between the two tasks.
"Don't worry, Tohru. I think Yuki and Kyo can handle cleaning up just this once. Go on ahead and help our guests." Shigure said, noting the look on her face and knowing that it could turn into something big if he didn't react quickly.
Tohru nodded. "Right! Right this way." She moved to lead both newcomers out of the room and up the stairs.
Shigure waited until he could no longer hear their retreating footsteps to speak, eyeing both Yuki and Kyo. "Well well well, I must admit that I am surprised you two were able to keep from fighting for one whole meal. It just lifts my spirits to see you two getting along for once!!"
"Oh yeah right, like I would actually get along with that damn rat. Ever. It pisses me off just to look at his ugly face." Kyo retorted, crossing his arms indignantly across his chest and glaring at both Yuki and Shigure.
"You're not that pretty on the eyes either." Yuki replied, his low voice an invitation for a fight.
"Is that a challenge, rat boy?!" Kyo jumped up, assuming a fighting stance.
Yuki calmly rose, cracking his knuckles as he did so. "Yes, I believe it was." He too assumed his own stance.
Kyo lunged forward in his never-ending rage for the rat, and thus the one- sided fight began, Yuki easily dodging every one of Kyo's blows.
"Boys, boys, at least take it into the yard. I can't afford any more damage to this house. And you have dishes! Please!" Shigure begged, the words falling on deaf ears. Finally he sighed, knowing that they would go at it until one of them lay in the yard, presumably Kyo, and got up to pull open the doors of the house so at least they wouldn't get smashed for the billionth time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What to be expected: The meeting with Akito!! *Dum dum duuuummm* Hatori and Momiji meet the newcomers, Tsukeru thinks she's in love, Akito's temper flairs and violence erupts, Akume shows her rebellious side, the dog has a heart-to-heart with the horse, and Tohru is just a whole bunch of confused!!
When to be expected: Hopefully by Wednesday. We'll see how SAT camp works out.
Please review!! I beg it of you! I want to know what you think!!
