Reviews:

Cor-chan - Thanks, I guess.

Neo Koneko-chan - Thanks for pointing out the mistake. I have already added another paragraph to help you understand. Well, whether or not Ran is going to listen to Akito, you'll have to find out yourself.

Aura Black Chan - You'll get to see Dumbledore's reaction in a future chapter. I'm planning on making it the next chapter.

summrpnkprncess9 - Thanks!

Introductions and True Appearances:

The trip to Shigure's house was a quiet one. Whilst Shigure had tried to strike up a conversation or two half the trip, Ran just folded his arms and looked out the window. Personally, Shigure thought that Ran had been even more unresponsive after the visit to the Main House. Hatori just remained as emotionless and quiet as he always did.

Ran's PoV

He was positively seething. That man had one hell of a nerve to think that he can order him like a dog. Not only that, he had never seen that man before in his life and he didn't know anything about him except that his name was Akito and he was the Head of the Family. He will be the biggest fool if he thought that he would obey him. But what Akito said about the curse came back into his mind.

So that's why so many people got killed in his expense. He was the cause of them, all because he loved and cared. 'Well then', he decided to himself, 'if that's the case, I will not love or care again. That way, people won't get hurt in my expense.'

End of Ran's PoV

After some time (and walk), they have finally arrived at Shigure's house. The 2 took off their shoes and went into the living room to see Honda Tohru, Souma Yuki, Souma Kyou, Souma Kisa and Souma Hiro watching some sort of anime.

Spotting them, Tohru greeted them with a warm smile. 'Welcome back, Shigure-kun.'

'I'm back.' Shigure returned the greeting. 4 other heads turned in his direction. Silence reigned supreme as the 5 stared at Ran who stared back at them in an uninterested way. Shigure looked from the 5 to Ran and back again.

'This is Souma Ran. He'll be staying here until he graduates from Kaibara High School.'

Kyou was the first to react. 'I didn't know that there was another Souma! And why the hell is he going to our school too?!'

'Baka neko, don't you care about first impressions?', Yuki said.

'Damn nezumi, who would care about that?!'

Before another fight could break out, Shigure said, 'Ran is going to your school because Akito told him to and you don't know about him because not many people knows about him.' Everyone went quiet at the mention of the feared Family Head.

Using the silence, Shigure introduced the 5 to Ran, 'Ran, the one with brown hair is Honda Tohru, the orrane (orange) head is Souma Kyou, the purple-hair guy who loos (looks) like a girl is Souma Yuki, the lita (little) boy over there is Souma Hiro and the lita girl is Souma Kisa.'

Shigure turned to see 5 very confused faces looking at him. 'Shigure, what language were you speaking?', Kyou asked. The other 4 sweatdropped.

'Baka, ever heard of English?'

'I knew that you damn nezumi!'

'Why did you ask if you knew?'

'Argh! I'll kill you today!' And so the fighting ensues as Tohru tried in vain to stop them and Hiro protected Kisa from the fighting pair. 'Don't destroy the house!' Shigure said and motioned Ran to follow him.

Once upstairs, he pointed to the room next to his work room. 'This is yor (your) room. The one oppozit (opposite) you is Tohru's and the room right to yor's is Yuki's.' All he got for response is an short nod acknowledging that he was listening. 'Goo (Good), tomorroll (tomorrow) we would get you new crothes (clothes) and register into yor new school.' Short nod.

With one last look at Ran, he went back down to see the damage that was done. Ran went into his room and leaned against the wall. Why couldn't his life be normal for once? A prophecy, a curse, what next? He didn't have time to think anymore when pain dominated him.

Hugging himself tightly, he forced all his pain-filled screams inside, which was hard to do because it felt even more painful than the Crucio. Soon, the pain was too much and he collasped onto the floor still hugging himself and his eyes shut tightly.

That was how Tohru, Kyou, Yuki, Hiro, Kisa and Shigure found him a couple of minutes later. Tohru slapped both hands to her mouth, Yuki, Kyou and Hiro watched with their jaws open, Kisa looked close to fainting and Shigure rushed over to Ran.

That's when it happened. Ran's hair suddenly turned red and it grew to his shoulders. His body stretched until it was 2 inches longer than it had originally been. He suddenly grew some fats and he looked just about healthy although he looked as tanned as before. His nose turned smaller as his lips also shrank a little. All in all, he looked handsome if it had not been for the pained expression. Finally, it stopped.

Thud!

Kisa had fainted. 'Kisa!', Hiro rushed to her side, tearing his gaze of the newly-introduced Souma.

Thud!

This time it was Tohru. Yuki immediately went to her side while Kyou looked at the boy again before doing the same. Shigure stared at Ran dumbly.

Finally Ran opened his eyes to reveal a pair of grey orbs. Sitting up, he wiped off the sweat, the pained expression replaced by an emotionless face. Looking at Shigure and the others with the exception of Tohru and Kisa who were staring at him, he said the first sentence Shigure have heard so far, 'what are you staring at? And why do you have a big bruise on your face?'
