Two figures were sitting on a canyon, looking out at the sunset.
One of them was Shinkei, a young boy at 15. He had short brown hair that waved in the wind. Of course, he always - well, usually - has a big smile on his face. Unfortunately for Shinkei - and the ones around him - he has almost uncontrollable mood swings. Most of them are normal emotions, like happiness and sadness, but on occasion, he gets so angry that people swore his eyes glare red and his voice booms heavily. Shinkei was the nicest and meanest member of the Sohmas.
The second one was a girl - Seijitsu - whom was very polite and shy. Like Shinkei, she had brown hair, but it was longer. Seijitsu was very wise, but she was also quite impulsive, doing things out of the blue that spawned from her creative mind. She was the most creative of the Sohmas.
"Do you think we should tell them?" Shinkei asked, still staring at the sunset. His naturally romantic nature caused him to be entranced by beautiful things.
"I think so..." Seijitsu said quietly. She turned to Shinkei, "Do you think they already know?"
Shinkei sighed and said, "I suppose - we are Sohmas,"
"How?" Seijitsu said, standing up, "How can we be Sohmas? We aren't of the Zodiac!"
"Well," Shinkei said, in a slightly scared tone, "We don't know who our parent's are, and we... well, you know..."
Seijitsu rolled her amber eyes, "Transform? Into what? A koala bear and a hummingbird? Those aren't of the Zod-"
"-I don't care!" Shinkei interrupted in a harsh tone. Seijitsu knew what was happening, Shinkei was having another mood swing. With out another word, Shinkei got up and walked into the forest behind them.
He walked into the clearing that he and his sister had been living in. It was in the shape of a crescent moon - on side was protected by trees and a large outcrop protected the other. A small tent lay in front of the outcrop.
In an angry fashion, Shinkei crawled into the tent and quickly shoved the zipper up. Seijitsu sighed from the outside, followed by asking, "Are you okay?"
The tent door zipped open and Shinkei looked out at Seijitsu. "I guess," he said in a saddened tone, "I'm sorry..."
"I guess we should go to Shigure's house..." Seijitsu said, "I mean, shouldn't we?"
There was a short silence, followed by an 'okay'. Shinkei and Seijitsu walked to a trail in the forest and followed it until nightfall. It was about 7:00pm when they had seen Shigure's house. Shadows of three men and a girl flickered on the screen.
Seijitsu and Shinkei waited, hiding in bushes. They decided to walk up to the house, knock on the door and... improvise, to the best of their ability. Shinkei followed close behind Seijitsu as she walked to the door and knocked three times. Shinkei bit his lip in hesitation.
The door slid open, and a 16 year old boy stood in the doorway. He had purplish hair and deep, purple eyes.
"Hello...?" He asked, probably wondering why two complete strangers walked to his house deep in a forest at 7:00.
"Umm..." Shinkei began to say, but Seijitsu's quite thinking went to the rest.
"I think..." said Seijitsu weakly, "I'm going to faint,"
With those words, Seijitsu fell weakly into the man's arms.
POOF!
POOF!
Seijitsu's clothes fell to the floor, as did the mans. In place of human bodies were a hummingbird (on top of Seijitsu's clothes) and a rat (on top of the man's clothing).
"Yuki?" A man said, running to the door. He had black hair and dark eyes. He was Shigure, the only Sohma Shinkei and Seijitsu really knew. Shigure looked down to see a rat and a hummingbird looking back up at him. Then, Shigure noticed Shinkei. In an attempt to stop him from seeing an further, Shigure tackled Shinkei.
POOF!
POOF!
Shinkei and Shigure were no where to be found, instead were a black dog and a little koala bear sitting on the clothing of Shigure and Shinkei.
Then, another man (accompanied by a woman) ran to the door. The man's red eyes looked in horror as he saw the four animals staring back at him.
"Shigure? Yuki...?" He said, "Who are... they!"
POOF!
POOF!
POOF!
POOF!
Suddenly, all the animals changed back into their human forms. The rat transformed into the purple haired man, or Yuki. The black dog changed into Shigure. Seijitsu came from the hummingbird and Shinkei from the koala bear. All of them were naked. Butt. Naked.
Later on, in the Sohma household...
Four men and two women sat around a table drinking tea. Fully clothed, of course.
"So..." Shigure said, "You are Sohma's, too?"
"Yes," said Shinkei, "That is what we believe,"
"Tell me, Shinkei," asked Yuki, sipping his warm tea, "How come you transformed when embraced by Shigure?" He shot a glare at Shinkei.
Before Shinkei could say anything, Seijitsu cut in, "It's always been like that, we don't know why,"
Kyou, the one with the red hair and orange eyes, spoke up, "How come you are not the horse or the rooster? Those are the two Sohma's we have not seen..."
Seijitsu again cut in before Shinkei, "That's something we don't understand."
Kyou and Seijitsu glared daggers at each other, while Shinkei innocently sipped his tea. "More?" the girl, Tohru, offered. Shinkei declined, but asked if she would sit down.
"So," Shinkei asked politely, "Are you a Sohma?"
"Oh, no," Tohru said, "But I still live here with Shigure, Yuki and Kyou."
"I see," Seijitsu said slyly, causing a slight blush to arouse on both her's and Tohru's faces.
"Would you like to stay here for the night?" Tohru offered.
Shinkei shook his head, "No, we couldn't impo-"
"-Sure!" Seijitsu interrupted, smiling. Shinkei scowled.
"I'll show you to your rooms, then," Tohru said, leading Shinkei and Seijitsu down a dim hallway and into two rooms.
"Thank you!" Seijitsu said. Shinkei stomped into his room and slammed the screen shut.
The next morning...
Shinkei yawned as he got up. The morning sun beamed into his room as he dressed into his normal clothing. He knocked on Seijitsu's door, but she didn't answer. Shinkei assumed she must've been downstairs with the rest of the Sohmas. When he got downstairs, a savory, aromatic scent filled the air. He walked into the dining room to see Yuki, Kyou, Shigure, Seijitsu and Tohru eating a delicious breakfast.
"Good morning!" Tohru said in her usual cheery voice. She offered Shinkei a seat and some food. He quickly ate, filling his empty stomach.
"How was your sleep?" Shigure asked, smiling, "I hope it was to your liking!"
Shinkei nodded, "Yes, it was-"
A loud knock interrupted Shinkei.
"KYOU! HONEY!" A loud, shrill voice called from outside. Kyou spit out his tea in surprise, got up and ran up the stairs.
"Get her away!" Kyou said, slamming the screen shut upstairs.
The front door opened, and a girl, around 18, stood there with watery eyes.
"Kyou doesn't want to see me?" she said silently.
"Oh no," Tohru said, getting to her feet and hugging the woman, "It'll be okay, Kagura!"
Behind 'Kagura' was two other people. The first one was a little boy with blonde hair who looked about 8 or 10. The second one was older, about 15 or 16, with white and black hair. The smaller one had a big smile and the older one had a straight face.
"Seijitsu? Shinkei?" Tohru said, turning around, "Meet Kagura, Momiji and Hatsuharu!"
"You may call me Haru," the white-haired boy said. He looked at Shinkei and blushed. Shinkei blushed back.
"So," Kagura asked, sitting down, "Do you have any other siblings?"
"Uh, yes," Shinkei said, taking his attention from Hatsuharu, "I am a quadruplet. My two sisters are Panda and Yokuguma, and my brother is Haiiroguma."
"I have a sister, Takaha," Seijitsu said, "She is of the hawk,"
"Oh," Shinkei said, "Haiiroguma is the grizzly bear, Yokuguma is of the polar bear, Panda is the panda bear and I am the koala bear."
Tohru giggled, "You must be great at bear hugs!"
Shinkei sweatdropped but still held his smile. Next to him sat Haru, who again smiled at him.
"Uh-oh..." Tohru said, looking at the time, "I think it's time for school!"
There was a moment of complete and utter silence followed by an echo of, "Oh crap!" from Haru. Tohru, Seijitsu, Haru, Shinkei, Yuki and Kyou rushed upstairs to get their things. Later, after all the commotion, they returned back downstairs with uniforms and backpacks.
Before Shigure could say, "I can drive you!", the six students jolted out the door and sprinted down the dirt path.
Well, that's the first chapter... I hope you like it... I know, you don't really, but heh, it'll get better! I may even write a lemon...
