Another cursed/blessed family besides the Sohmas?

Chapter 1 – A visit to the Sohma estate

(At the Timika estate, in one of the main houses)

Toyoko laid down onto her bed as she called out, "Come in!" Two ladies of age 27 entered, bowed their head and knelt down, while Toyoko sat up.

"You sent for us, Toyoko?" asked one of the ladies.

"Yes," Toyoko replied. "Today, Ritza, you, me and Mingzashi will go and visit the Sohmas." Mingzashi grinned, "Of course! The day we've been waiting for! It's finally come!"

(At the Sohma estate)

Ritza pressed the button for the doorbell and waited for a reply. A voice boomed out from the speaker,

"May I have your name?"

"I'm Toyoko Timika. I have come to visit the head of the family."

"I will ask someone to welcome you in," was the reply, and the person hung up.

"That was so friendly, I don't think," said Ritza sarcastically. "I'll say," replied Mingzashi. "Ladies, please. We must remember what we've come here for," Toyoko interrupted and ended their conversation.

After a few minutes, and a man of age 27 opened the door.

He gave a cold smile and said, "Welcome. May I know why you ladies want to see the head of the family?"

"First, we have to wait. Then now you won't even invite us in before you ask us anything. We ain't robbers or murderers, you know!" Ritza said with an equally cold smile.

The man gave a nod and opened the door wide. "Please, come in. My name is Hatori Sohma."

Toyoko nodded and went in, while Ritza and Mingzashi followed.

Hatori led them into the main house's living room. Toyoko sat in the middle, with Ritza and Mingzashi at either of her side. Tea was served by a maid and was left alone with Hatori sitting right opposite of Toyoko at the table.

Hatori then asked again, "May I know why you want to see the head of the family? That way, I'll be able to check if he wants to see you."

Toyoko put down her cup of tea and answered, "Oh, so you are a close one to the head of the family?"

"Yes."

"What is the head of family's name?"

"Akito."

"Alright. Since you are a close one of Akito, let me ask you. Do you know anything about the Zodiac?"

Hatori was taken aback. He thought, "How did these ladies find out about the curse? Should I erase their memory immediately or talk to the Akito first?"

Toyoko, as if she had read his thoughts, said, "Don't you dare erase our memories. I understand that one of you in the family has the power to erase another's memory."

Hatori was even more worried now. "How did they know so much about our Zodiac curse?"

"Will you take us to Akito now? It has been quite a long journey for us, and quite a long wait too," Toyoko asked.

Hatori stood up and replied, "I will go and inform the head of the family first. And if he agrees to it, I'll come back and bring you there." With that, he bowed and went out of the room.

On the way to Akito's room, Hatori thought to himself, "I had the strangest feeling when I first saw her. I felt as if she was a goddess or something. It was like the feeling when Akito is around me. But one is a happy feeling and the other is a bad feeling. What's going on?"

(Back at the living room)

"Do we have to show him our true selves?" Ritza asked.

"No, but if necessary, we will. But until then, there's no need. I've read the book. Took me such long years and now I still have to 'accomplish' what it says… It's not easy. And I know what kind of temper Akito will be like, but you don't. So don't fret if his character is not like me, ok?" replied Toyoko.

"Yes," Ritza and Mingzashi said in unison.

(In Akito's room)

"Akito?"

"What is it this time, Hatori?"

"There are three ladies waiting to see you. You won't believe this, but they know a lot about the Zodiac curse. They told me. Do you wish to let them visit you?"

"What do you mean by knowing a lot about the Zodiac curse?"

"They know about it. Should I erase their memories?"

"No. Don't. Let them in. I want to see what they're like."

"Yes, Akito sir."

(Hatori left the room and returned to the living room 10 minutes later (for the ladies))

"Akito is willing to see you all," Hatori said.

"Excellent," Toyoko said.

And the four of them left the living room.

Hatori knocked on Akito's room. "Come in." came the reply.
