Chapter 2

Entering The Dog House

Last time on The Curse I Never Had -Rachelle Kasimana had a magical 'power' that allowed her to have anything magical, from powers to curses. Then the one day she forgot, she accidentally inflicted a curse upon herself and was in a different country! She had messed up space and time continuum and in a bad way, not the good way. Now she's going to live with Shigure, Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru at Shigure's house. How will things turn out? Well, read away!

Midori's POV (just a little reminder)
"Well, we're here," Ha'ri announced to me.

"So this isSensei's house? I thought that it was smaller. Amazing what manga and anime can do to make things look smaller...," I replied. I thought that they made things look bigger.

The car that Ha'ri was in came to a halt and he helped me get my things out and helped carry them in. How nice of him!

Sensei and company greeted me kindly. Well, maybe not Kyo-kun.

"Well, I'm afraid we don't have any free rooms, but you can stay in Tohru-kun's room. Would you like that?" Sensei asked.

"There's no need. I can build another room in a few minutes with my magic. Where should I put it?" I wondered.

"What do you mean 'with my magic'? Is this a joke or what?" Kyo-kun shouted.

"I have magic, so get used to it. I'll explain later. Sensei, is there anywhere you would like the room to be built in particular?" I asked him.

"Well, I could use a basement...," he remarked.

"Okay, I'll start right away! But first, is there a place for a staircase? Any room that you want it in? This is your house after all."

Yuki-kun spoke up for him, "Well, you could put it in the living room, over there." He pointed to an empty space that could possible occupy a stairway.

"Good idea!" Sensei, Tohru-chan, and I said in unison.

"Then I'll begin my work. Please be quiet." And so I began.

First I had to make a hole for the staircase, then I built the actual stairs. I had to extend the foundation to a lower level so it would support the right way and not send the house crashing to the ground. I made walls for a hallway, bedroom, and a bathroom, as well. I even put in lights and water pipes. When I was done, everyone looked at me as if I was crazy.

"Well, I'm done," I said wiping the sweat off of my face. "Would you like to go down and see what it looks like?"

"Sure, of course we would!" Tohru-chan, Yuki-kun, and Sensei replied. Ha'ri and Kyo-kun followed us down the stairs.

They were amazed and gawked at the place. I was impressed at my own handiwork. After everyone was done gawking, Tohru-chan helped me unpack.

"Well, Shigure-san, I guess I'll leave now. Have her come by every Sunday for a check-up. She has weak bronchial tubes and beware of asthma attacks, please. Keep Yuki-kun away from her when she has one. She'll explain it herself later," Ha'ri said as he walked up the stairs and out the door.

Back upstairs, Sensei had me explain everything. As I did, everyone began to wonder how I got cursed...then I had to tell them that too. Then we had a wonderful dinner that I helped Tohru-chan make. She just told me what to do since she had already planned something.

I was anxious about going to school that next day and if I was even in one! When I woke up, Sensei took me out after breakfast to go and take an entrance exam. So apparently, I wasn't enrolled in any school...go figure.

When we got back around lunch, Tohru-chan had made another scrumptious meal! Nothing odd seemed to have happened yet (except when I came) which was a good sign that maybe I could live a somewhat normal life. (A/N: They're having Spring Break right now, forgot to mention that one earlier. So they don't have any school.)
After lunch, I set up a video game and played for a while, waiting for everyone to come home. Yuki-kun was out at his secret base with Tohru-chan, Kyo-kun was out in the woods training, and Sensei went to go and pick up my exam results and get a class schedule ready for me. I wasn't lonely at the least, but I wanted to meet the other members of the zodiac. I really wanted to meet Kisa-chan, my favorite character. She could be my best friend, well, apart from Tohru-chan. I wondered what it felt like to turn into an animal or to get into a fight with Yuki-kun, Kyo-kun, Kagura-san, or even Hatsuharu-kun...well, then again, maybe not. But so many things that I want to know, but I'd just have to find out in time.

While I was playing, someone knocked at the paper door so I went to see who it was. It was Kagura-san and she was looking for Kyo-kun. I told her that he was probably in the woods or on the roof. At least he wasn't inside...then I'd have to explain why every wall and door was knocked down...I hope that she doesn't get lost trying to find him. Naw...that only happens to Hatsuharu-kun.

Alas, I was back in the house playing my game. Then something hit me, I wondered if I could find the Fruits Basket anime or manga nearby. Perhaps if it was, they could see it or read it and see how they've changed, or at least how I know everything about them. For all I knew, they could think that I wasa stalker, but they just better not havebeen thinking that. I'd have to kill them with magic. I'd never do that! I thought. Maybe just hurt them. I really hope that they aren't thinking that, though.

I scrounged the house looking for some evidence that I wasn't a stalker, just a fan. Drat! No luck was coming my way. But then, what did I expect? I messed up space and time continuum and the books and anime must've disappeared. Oh, how sad! I can't live without it, but maybe Sensei just didn't have it. I know! I'll write a note saying I went out, I mean, it's not like they're home either. I scribbled a note saying "Went out, be back in an hour. Right now it's 2:00 P.M.. See ya later!" No worries for me.

On my way to a manga store, I saw some familiar faces. It was...Kisa-chan and Hiro-kun. I went and approached them and they wondered who the heck I was. I took them down and alleyway so that no one would hear and explained. They didn't believe me until I hugged Hiro-kun and nothing happened, that gave them some proof. Little kids! They never believe anyone, at least not Hiro-kun. Wait, I was the same age! What an idiot I was! Oh well, it's not like I said anything Kisa-chan wouldn't believe. Why did Hiro-kun have to be so pessimistic? I hated it.

Then they asked me what I was doing anyway. I told them I was going to look for a manga called Fruits Basket. Kisa-chan said that she had never heard of it, but then she didn't really know much about that kind of stuff. Hiro-kun, being Hiro-kun, didn't even say anything.

We went to the manga store and looked around but it was no where to be found. Yeah, I did make it go bye-bye and I have no one left to blame but myself. Oh well, I wasthe only one on the planet who evenknew about it. Perhaps, though, I could explain the whole thing in detail and then they'd believe me. I said that I was going to go back to Sensei's house to write some stuff down, I mean, Iwas a writer.
When I got there, still nobody was there plus the walls were intact (which was a relief!). I probably wrote that note for nothing but I went intoSensei's office to get some paper. If you want to be convincing, you have to add lots of detail. Good thing I had read the stuff so much and watched the anime a billion times (no, not really, just three times). I began to write and by the time I was done, still nobody was home.

When would they get back?

Find out next time! I know, I'm not very original in ending my chapters, but that's the life of a teenager. Get used to it and review review! I love reviews! Oh,Midori called Shigure Sensei because he is a writer. She's just showing respect. If you noticed in the texts that everyone has a suffix at the end of their name, it's because this IS in Midori's POV, which means that she's telling the story and so would attach those suffixes at the end of a person's name, except for Ha'ri, because he's Ha'ri. You'll get it.
