"Talking"
'thinking'
Chapter 2
"There is something on my tail." Whined the fox, tears coming out of its eyes, everyone blinked, to surprised to move.
"Well, are you just going to stand there staring, or are you going to help us?" Questioned the wolf, who glared at them from under the pile of luggage.
"Um, who is who here?" Asked Tohru. She looked at the fox, who was still crying, then the thin black snake, and last the still glaring and growling wolf.
"Aya is the fox, Maya is the wolf, and Jinsey as you know is the snake." Said Shigure as he moved a large suitcase off of Aya. "I don't know if you four remember Jinsey." He added looking at Kia, Maya, Aya, and Kamon.
"I remember him, I think." Replied Aya, everyone sweat dropped as shook her fur, then she looked at Tohru. "I think that we should go all the way inside and explain some things."
Tohru sat there blinking as Shigure finished his explanation and turned to the four new comers, who had all transformed back except Aya. And like Jinsey they transformed back with all their clothing on.
"It's nice to meet you." Tohru said as she bowed, Kamon was still keeping a five-foot distance between himself and Tohru, who looked over at Aya who was staring off into space. "Why hasn't Aya transformed back?"
"She doesn't want too yet." Replied Kia as if this was very obvious.
"Why not?" Asked Yuki.
"Ask her." Answered Maya. Everyone turned to look at Aya who snapped back to reality to see them staring.
"What?" She asked bristling a little.
"Why haven't you changed back?" Asked Yuki.
"Because I don't want to."
"Why?" Asked Tohru. Aya paused to think.
"I don't know." Everyone sweat dropped and Aya transformed back into her human form.
"Why did you transform in the first place?" Asked Kyo. He was sitting on the stairs, keeping Kia from going up and destroying his room.
"We are cursed differently and can control when we transform, just the incident earlier happened so suddenly that we transformed." Replied Aya, typing on her laptop.
"Yes, but we can still transform when we are under stress, but our stress levels are different, we can tolerate higher levels of stress." Kia said looking out of the corner of her eye at the blocked stairs, causing Kyo to shift to a better defensive position.
"She's right. Hey Aya I thought that was packed away." Maya said gesturing to the laptop.
"It was but fell out when Kyo pushed Jinsey into us." Aya said, not looking up from her work. Kia glared at Kyo, who was trying to deny the whole thing. "Looks like I let the cat out of the bag." This time both Kyo and Kia turned to glare at her.
"Not funny." Kyo said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Well pushing Jinsey into us wasn't very funny either." Maya replied plopping down next to Aya as Kia turned on Kyo again. "So what are you working on?"
"Just another story." Kia stopped glaring and looked at her.
"How many is that now? Six?"
"No, eight." Shigure's eyes got hearts in them and he moved to Aya's side pushing Maya to the floor.
"Oh another writer, you're the woman of my dreams." Suddenly he was sent flying into the wall as Aya punched him, still typing.
"Shigure, I wouldn't make her mad if I were you, you remember what happened last time." Said Kia standing up. Shigure shuddered as he remembered what had happened to his lovely house, half of one wall was gone and the roof to one room was missing. Kamon also shuddered, he had learned the hard way why not to get her angry. He wished to never witness that again.
Aya stopped typing and turned off the laptop.
"I've found a name for our curse." She said. "Since every time the five of us transform, we are black in color, and we are sort of like the normal zodiac, I've decided to call it the 'Dark Zodiac'."
Aya looked out her window at the forest slowly going invisible in the coming darkness.
'It's so peaceful, like no human has ever stepped a foot in there.'
She was about to turn away when something caught her eye. It was Jinsey. He was silently sneaking into the woods. Aya looked at the clock, 10:34, what is he doing out there so late?
Silently Aya opened the window and was about to climb out when she turned and woke up Kia and Maya.
"What are you doing?" Mumbled Maya as she sat up.
"Jinsey went out into the woods and I want to know why."
"Oh no, not again." Groaned Kia, when Aya opened the door Kia frowned. "What are you going now?"
"I'm going to go get Kamon." Aya replied.
"Why?" Asked Maya dressed and ready.
"So if we get attacked by something, he gets eaten and we run." They rolled their eyes but followed her down the hall.
Aya slowly opened the door to Kamon's room and peaked in. Looking around until she spotted him asleep on his bed.
"Come on." She whispered, opening the door wider and silently crawling into the room, Maya and Kia close behind.
Maya crept to the side of the bed and put her hand over Kamon's mouth, waking him up.
"Come on Kamon. But be quiet." Kia whispered motioning them to the door.
They crept quietly back to their room where Aya went up to the open window.
"Wait, what's going on?" Kamon asked, stopping in the middle of the room. Aya turned to him, hands on her hips.
"We are going after Jinsey that's what, now come on." She turned away and jumped out the window.
