Chapter 8

"Akito! What are you doing out of the main house?" Shigure said to the other person, supporting him.

"Hao..." Akito said before collapsing on the floor.

"Hatori! Quick!" Hatori had taken Akito's pulse.

"It doesn't look good... Where's the nearest clinic, Yoh?" Hatori said asking the brown headed boy.

"Let me..." Faust had gotten next to Akito and took his pulse.

"Eliza darling... would you mind holding my tools?" Faust said as he checked Akito, "He shouldn't be out walking about... he seems to be suffering from at least five sickness!"

"I know... I am his doctor...

"So you are also a doctor. Eliza, the morphine please... and get the IV from my room." Faust worked hard on Akito.

"There... his condition should be all right but he will need to stay here... he can't be moved anywhere for now." Faust said as he injected Morphine into Akito and hooking Akito to an IV.

"Here? Out in the open?" Yuki said dumbfounded asked he did not believe how fast Faust had been done with Akito.

"Of course not! Anna, can he stay in the inn for the time being?" Faust asked the girl.

"I think about it... but you can bring him in for the time being, and they can tell what happened back then..." Anna pointed to the Sohmas.

"Well then... Okay... How do we start?" Haru said scratching his head.

"Why don't you start by why Kisa was able to turn from a tiger into a human?" Ren suggested.

"Okay... Why... because erm... Certain Sohmas are cursed by the vengeance-filled sprits of the Original Zodiac... And the Sohmas here happens to be affected by the curse... As you can see from the Sprits of the Zodiac Animals that stands beside you can guess which Zodiac we belong to... Yuki, the Rat... Momiji, the Rabbit... Hatori, the Dragon... Ayame, the Snake... Hiro, the Sheep... Shigure, the Dog... Kyo, the Cat... Kisa, the Tiger... and me, the Cow. We transform into our animal forms when we are hugged by an opposite sex... or most likely in Kisa's case... from exhaustion..." Haru said.

"So there others?" Jun asked, "I can't believe it... Ren, You always liked the tiger of the Zodiac when we were young... and now you can see it..."

"Baka... I DO NOT believe in some stupid ani..." Ren said stopping as the tiger of the Zodiac growled at him.

"Oh really... Then the sprits and Akito... And Hao? How did that Akito know Hao?" Yoh asked Haru anxiously.

"Okay... the sprits are the some kind like a guardian angel or sprit...they are actually kept by Akito... He doesn't let us use them but I guess with the eight of us... we were able to break through the shield that Akito placed... and got them back... and I guess that Hao was the one who made Akito seal up the sprits..." Shigure answered.

"So then... I allow Akito to stay... in return... Faust, you must do Yoh's chores for the next month...and you all... you must do the chores also... stay if you must... Tohru... you want to stay... I really don't want you staying with a group of men in a house..." Anna said starring at the girl.

"I wish you'll stop reading my mind." Tohru said glaring at Anna.

"Fine... stay... we haven't talk in a long time." Anna asked.

"All right." Tohru said.

"Fine, we're staying. We need to take care of Akito but Ha and I need to inform some people so... we'll come back later..." Shigure said to Anna and the rest before heading towards their own cars. (They are going to different places BTW.)

"Uo and I can't stay... but we will come back to visit Tohru." Hana said to Anna.

"So see ya, Tohru!" Uo shouted as Hana walked out of the room.
