Chapter 13
The Curse
Lunch was quiet and Tohru knew that it was only like this when something bad had happened. She frowned knowing that it was because of her that silence had covered the table.
It was almost as though she were a burden to them. How could she have been so careless to fall into the river? And then today when was helping the girl, Kagura, fix lunch for the group she kept making mistakes. While Kagura had smiled, and told her it was okay, Tohru knew that it was annoying to the older girl.
When Kagura asked Kyo to help her clean up the dishes Tohru knew that she had broken one too many dishes for the girl's liking. Ayame and Shigure went to finish something they had been doing in Ayame's room leaving Tohru and Yuki alone.
She frowned again when Yuki sighed loudly. I really am a burden to them; maybe it would be better if I just left, Tohru thought to herself.
"Let's go upstairs to our room," Yuki said standing up and holding out his hand to her. She nodded and rose to her feet.
Yuki acted as if she was as delicate as glass and would break if she fell. He carefully helped her up the stairs even though she assured him that her foot was fine.
The two of them slowly unpacked their things. When Tohru placed the picture of her mother on the nightstand, Yuki noticed a hurt look in her eyes. He wanted to say something, but wasn't sure if she was quietly talking to her mother as she often did.
"Tohru-kun?"
"Hai?"
"Is everything all right?"
"Yeah, it's fine."
He smiled softly, "You always were a horrible liar."
Tohru giggled at this, "You're probably right."
Yuki sat down on the edge of the bed and invited Tohru to do the same. "Tell me what's wrong."
"I feel like I'm being a burden to all of you," she said sitting down.
"No, you're never a burden to us. You are family after all."
"I know that but I think I just annoyed Kagura today. I kept breaking dishes and I burned the first fish."
Yuki smiled at her, "Is that what has you so upset? Kagura loves you Tohru. You're like a sister to her. And I'm sure that she knows you were only out of your element. It's a new kitchen, you have no idea where things are or go or how things work, and you did fall in the river the other day."
She tried to smile, but had to frown at that last part. "And that too. How clueless could I be to fall into the river?"
Yuki had to giggle. He had never thought that he would ever hear Tohru call herself clueless. "Well, you can be a bit..." He paused trying to find another word that would fit, but couldn't find one. "A bit clueless sometimes, but that's just who you are. We love you for that. I love you for that."
Tohru blushed and quietly asked him to explain for her.
"Explain why I love you?"
"Ha-hai! It might bring back somemore of my memories."
Yuki grinned, "All right, if the princess wishes it."
This made Tohru blush a deeper shade of red.
"Well, you're cute and compassionate. I always love to help you whenever you find something that you think is right and helpful. Like for the cultural festival. You wanted to help out so much that you made almost a hundred rice balls just to test flavors. I love how you are when you're out of your element, as well as in it. You look really cute when you get flustered, but I'm always in awe of you when I watch you cooking us dinner at home.
"You always think of others before yourself. Your smile can light up a room, and you have an innocence about almost everything."
Tohru smiled sweetly at him as he finished. He grinned at her, "So did you remember anything?"
She twisted her face in thought, "I remember the cultural festival. That's when I met Mo..." She frowned trying to remember the name. "Momiji?"
"Hai."
She smiled brightly. "That's when I met Momiji, and the sempai dressed you up like a girl!"
Yuki sweat dropped wondering why she had to remember that. "Do you remember anything else about the festival?"
Tohru blushed this time, "You told me I was cute."
Yuki smiled, "Hai. You are very cute."
She only looked at her hands, her face red with embarrassment. Yuki thought that maybe she was more herself than she thought she was.
"Tohru-kun?"
"Hai Yuki-kun?"
"Do you remember your mother?"
"Yes, I do. I remember lots about her."
"What about the stories she would tell you as a child?"
Yuki knew that telling her about the curse might be the only way to bring Tohru back to her old self. Hopefully he could tell her in such a way that she wouldn't freak out too badly. Of course, she had taken it quite well last time.
Part of him still felt like he was breaking Akito's wishes. But she had known about the curse before and he had agreed to let her stay with them. Surely it was all right then, wasn't it?
"The one about the Chinese zodiac?"
"Yes, do you remember the legend?"
Tohru nodded, "The gods decided to hold a banquet for the animals to be in the zodiac. However the rat played a prank on the cat and told him that the feast was the day after it really was. So then all the animals except for the cat went to the banquet while the cat was home dreaming of the feast that wouldn't be held the next day. And so because of that the cat cannot be part of the zodiac."
Yuki smiled at her, "Yes, that's exactly it."
"Can I ask you a question Yuki?"
"Hai?"
"Why did you want to know if I knew the legend of the zodiac?"
"Well, there's a reason that your mother told you story as a child."
"Really?"
"Hai. You see your mother fell in love with a member of the Sohma family, however the Sohma carries a very heavy curse upon it."
Tohru looked as though she were going to panic at any moment. "Aren't you all Sohmas?"
"Hai. Now, only certain members of the family carry the curse. Some of those members are Shigure, Kagura, Ayame, Hatori, Momiji, Haru, Kyo, and..."
Tohru cut Yuki off before he could finish. "My brother's cursed?"
"Yes, Kyo is one of the members of the family that carries the curse."
Her eyes were wide with fright. "You're not trying to tell me that I'm cursed, are you Yuki? Kyo's not hurt or anything like that, is he? It can be fixed, can't it?"
Yuki sweat dropped, "Slow down Tohru. One question at a time. Kyo is fine, just like all the other members. They live a fairly normal life. We're not sure if the curse can be lifted, and no you're not cursed Tohru. I am."
"You are?"
"Yes, would you like me to show you Tohru?"
"Will it hurt?"
He smiled, "Not one bit."
"O—okay," she said nodding.
Yuki pulled her into a tight embrace for a spilt second before the puff of smoke covered them.
"Yuki?!?"
"I'm all right Tohru. It's fine."
"Where are you?"
When the smoke cleared Tohru saw a small mouse sitting next to her.
"Right here," the mouse said.
"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Are you okay Yuki? What happened?"
"I'm fine Tohru. This is the curse of the Sohmas."
"You turn into mice?"
"No, no. The angry spirits of the Chinese zodiac curses us. I'm cursed by the year of the rat, Kagura's the boar, Shigure the dog, Ayame the snake, Haru the cow, Momiji the rabbit, and Kyo is the cat."
"The cat?"
"Hai. Whenever we're hugged by a member of the opposite sex who isn't cursed, or when our bodies have a lot of stress put on them we transform into animals of the zodiac."
"Oh my... That sounds horrible!"
Yuki nodded, "But we can live normal lives, except that many times the cursed members never fall in love or get married. Most of the family doesn't know about the curse, and if an outsider ever learned of the secret their memories would be erased of that time."
Tohru nodded, "So they never fall in love because they're afraid of the secret getting out."
"Yes."
"Did I know about the curse before..." Tohru trailed off.
"Yes, you learned about the curse a few days after moving in with us, but Akito let you keep your memories and stay with us. We only found out a little while ago that you were also a Sohma. And yes, you knew that I was cursed before we fell in love with each other."
Tohru blushed, it seemed so childish to have to have him explain all of this to her.
"Has anything come back to you?"
"I remember about when I first found out about the curse," she smiled. "You told me that Hatori might have to erase my memory, but I didn't care. I just wanted you to be my friend, because even then I was in love with you Yuki."
Yuki blushed a bright red. He couldn't believe that the quiet girl who he had never talked to before she showed up on his doorstep had been in love with him. Most of the other girls who cared for him had told him straight to his face, but Tohru had kept it all to herself.
"Do you remember what happened just before spring? With Kyo?"
"What happened to Kyo?"
"Because Kyo is cursed by the cat he carries a heavier curse."
MoonHawke: Greetings again! I hope you enjoyed the latest chapter of Sister Sohma!
Kyo: Do you have any idea how dumb that title is?
MoonHawke: *frowns* What do you mean?
Kyo: Well I mean jeez, you pretty much explain what's going to happen and it just sounds stupid.
MoonHawke: Well, it was the only thing that fit the story. *eyes well with tears* I'm sorry if it's not good enough for you.
Tohru: Kyo! You're going to make her cry.
Yuki: You shouldn't bad mouth her Kyo; she is the author and the one who pays you.
Kyo: *grumbles* Stupid rat.
Yuki: The title's fine MoonHawke, don't listen to him. You know he's just a dumb cat, what do they know?
Kyo: Hey! I heard that.
Yuki: Good, now I don't have to repeat myself.
Kagura: Can you two stop fighting? We have questions to answer, don't we?
MoonHawke: Let me check. *goes through the mailbox* We've got a few.
Momiji: Read one! Read one! *bounces around happily*
MoonHawke: Let's see... *ruffles through the mail* Okay here's one. Kate writes "Yay! Kyoji and Tohru would make a cute couple! (Please include the college students in the story!). P.S. Yuri is such a cute name!"
Tohru: *smiles* We had a lot of fun working with Kyoji and the others. They were all very nice and enjoyed helping us out.
Yuki: However, I don't think all the readers would have been happy if Tohru had picked Kyoji over me. This is a Yukiru isn't it?
MoonHawke: Hai! I don't know if Kyoji and his friends will be back in later chapters, but we'll see what happens.
Shigure: Yuri means Lily, if you guys didn't get that before.
MoonHawke: I think they did, I explained it when Yuki and Tohru were buying seeds.
Kagura: She's right. But Yuri is a Japanese name, so that part wasn't made up.
Momiji: *tugs on MoonHawke's sleeve* MoonHawke?
MoonHawke: Yeah Momiji?
Momiji: Isn't that one of your character names?
MoonHawke: *laughs* Yes, I got the name so stuck in my head that I made one of my characters in my series named Yuri. But we're not talking about that. Anyway, thank you for your review Kate. I'm happy that it did come across that Kyoji liked Yuri, I wasn't sure if I made it very clear because I was trying to be subtle about it.
Shigure: Puppies!
Kyo: *rolls his eyes*
Ayame: Hey MoonHawke, where's the pizza?
MoonHawke: It should be here any minute.
Momiji: Next review! Next review!
MoonHawke: Okay, hold on. *returns to digging through the e-mails* Monica writes, "You broke Tohru! Fix her! You broke her, you did! Why didn't Yuki say anything when they called Tohru Yuri? Didn't he understand what was going on?"
Tohru: *laughs* Don't worry, I'm not broken. All my memories will come back in a chapter or two, so just wait a bit longer. All right? Do you want to finish off the rest of that one?
Kyo: Why is it always that stupid rat?
Yuki: It isn't always me.
Kyo: Yes it is! You answer all of the questions and I haven't even gotten one yet! *turns to MoonHawke* And how come he has a bigger part than I do?!?!
MoonHawke: Because I like him better than you. *sticks out her tongue*
Kyo: *steams*
Yuki: All right, if you're done now I'll answer Monica's question. I didn't say anything because I was just a little angry.
Kagura: Try a lot.
Yuki: Okay, fine. I was really P.O.ed because 'Yuri' was supposed to be my pet name for Tohru. I think anyone would get annoyed if they saw their boy or girlfriend with another guy or girl and heard them calling them the pet name that you gave them. Sound fair?
Tohru: I think so!
MoonHawke: Great! Okay, this is the last one we have for this chapter. Nina writes, "Kyo, are you going to go out with Kagura? And if not, will you go out with me? Tohru get your fricking act together and remember Yuki!!!! Are you a vegetarian Tohru? Kyoji if you ever go near Tohru again Monica and I will kill you. And it will be a horrible, horrible death. We will beat you with your arms."
Kyo: I am not going out with Kagura ever!
Kagura: But Kyo!
Kyo: And I will not go out with you!
Kagura: Another rival! *glares daggers at Nina and grabs hold of Kyo's arm so tight that it starts to turn blue*
Kyo: Kagura!
Ayame: *laughs* I think that's a big no Nina. Sorry, but I'm always free. *winks*
Shigure: Hey! Learn to share Ayame!
Tohru: *bows deeply* Gomen nasai Nina, but you'd have to talk to MoonHawke about that. It is her story after all, but like I said before, I will be getting my memory back in the next chapter or two, so just hold on a bit longer.
Kagura: Why won't you go out with me Kyo?
Kyo: Because I hate you!
Kagura: But why Kyo!?!?
MoonHawke: *rolls her eyes, then snaps her fingers and Kyo is gagged and tied up in a flash*
Kyo: *mumbles something*
Kagura: Yey! Thanks MoonHawke!
MoonHawke: Anytime, just go and get a room, all right?
Kagura: No problem. *drags Kyo off*
Kyo: Ammmm!!!
Tohru: *giggles* Okay, and no I am not a vegetarian. This may be kind of confusing in the anime and manga because I really only talk about fruits and vegetables that I like, but fish is also one of my favorite foods. I think it would be pretty hard to be a vegetarian in Japan because we eat meat at every meal.
MoonHawke: *laughs* And Kate, I think Nina summed up why Kyoji would never end up with Tohru. I fear for my life if I did. *smiles* Sorry. Okay, well that's all the time we have for now.
Shigure: Liar! You ran out of comments and questions.
MoonHawke: *blushes* Okay, yeah I did, but I think 3 is still pretty good for the first time. So I wanna hear from you all!
*doorbell rings somewhere in the distance*
Shigure: Puppies! Oops! I mean pizza! *runs off*
MoonHawke: See you next chapter!
Tohru: *waves* Bye!
Yuki: Good day all.
Shigure: *mumbles something through the pizza*
Pizza dude: *stares in horror at Shigure* Umm.. dude, I need my money...
MoonHawke: Coming! Hold on... Bye everyone! *runs off to pay the pizza dude*
