There sat little Hotaru, her clothes, the wall, her hands, everything was covered in shaving cream! Usagi heard a soft snoring and knew Haruka was asleep, that must have been why she wasn't already scolding the child. Hotaru looked up from her position on the floor and smiled. She was drawing pictures in the shaving cream that was on the floor, and had already drew some on the wall.
"Hotaru! You know better then that!" Minako said picking up the empty can of cream. Hotaru turned to Usagi.
"U-SAAA!" she cried and run over to her to hug her legs. Usagi quickly pried her off but not in time as now she had the stuff all over her skirt and legs.
"I guess I'll give her a bath. Wake Haruka-papa and tell her to clean this up." she said lifting the small child but holding her at arms length away. She then ran to the bathroom and proceded to get them cleaned up.
"Um try to avoid the mess. The study room is just over there. I'm going to go get Haruka-papa." the blonde said as she went into the den. "Haruka get up. Hotaru made a mess at the entrance and you have to clean it." she said shacking her guardian awake.
"Nani?" she asked rubbing her eyes.
"You heard me. Me and Usagi have some friends over and will be studying. You clean up. Hotaru is getting a bath right now." she explained then went to the study. Haruka stretched and went to get a small wash cloth to clean up the mess, not knowing she would probably need a towel.
"Sorry about that. Hotaru is always causing trouble, she just likes to push our buttons." Minako said as she entered the room.
"It's ok, but she looks so innocent to be doing it on purpose." Tohru said. Minako snorted and sat down next to her. Muttering something that sounded like, 'if only you knew.'
"Well are we here to work or gab about two year olds?" Kyou asked holding the back of his head with his hands in a relaxed state. "Oh sorry. Well lets get started." Minako said. They all got out there notes and homework. Usagi soon joined them, and so did Hotaru. Hotaru just sat in the corner with her coloring book and crayons, drawing who knows what. They were just glad she was occupied.
Yuki helped Tohru and Usagi through some math while Minako helped Kyou and Haru wright a poem. Momiji was reading a book having wrighten the poem in class. There were almost done when they heard someone enter the house.
"Girls I'm home." it was Setsuna.
"Oh Setsuna-mama's home. Would you guys like to meet her?" Usagi asked. Most agreed except Kyou who was still having trouble wrighting a decent poem.
"I'll meet you guys in a moment. I'm almost done with this." he grumbled, chewing on his eraser.
"Ok Kyou-chan, I'll bring I some snacks in a few minutes." Minako said. He nodded to them and they left.
"Hi Setsuna-mama. How was work?" Usagi asked. She and Minako went to hug her. She hugged them back and hung up her coat.
"It was good. We got a lot of customers today, and Mine even wanted me to design a dress for her." she told them, she then saw Tohru and the others. "Oh hello. I didn't know we had guests. I'm Setsuna Meioh, by the way."
"Nice to meet you. Im Tohru Honda, this is Yuki...uh Yuki? Are you ok?" she asked, he had a weird expression on his face.
"Di-did you say...Mine...does that mean you...work at...?"
"Oh your Yuki Sohma aren't you? Your brother Ayame has told me so much about you." Setsuna said. She smiled at him, Yuki looked a little surprised.
"He-he did?"
"Well yes, you were all he ever takes about. Honestly your lucky to have such a nice brother. Well I better start making dinner. Would you four like to stay fo it?"
"Actually there's five, ones still in the room. But yes we would love to stay. If it's not to much trouble?" Tohru said.
"Not at all, but I better get cooking. Hey about you all help me. We can make all kinds of foods." Setsuna suggested. They agreed and followed her into the kitchen.
Meanwhile Kyou was still having trouble. "Damn it, this is harder then it looks...ouch!" he looked down to see what had hit his head. It was a crayon. He looked over and saw Hotaru glaring at him.
"Bad word!" she snapped, then turned back to her coloring.
"Whatever. What are you coloring anyway?" he asked walking up to her. She handed him the picture. It was a bunch of colored figures all around the paper. The five on the top were silver, orange, blue, green, and red. The four bottom were aqua, gold, purple, and black. Each sort of looked like a person. "Nice picture." he said and handed it back. Hotaru beamed and stood up.
"NEKO!" suddenly she latched onto his leg.
POP!
Kyou opened his eyes, there Hotaru sat giggling at him. He gasped when he realized he was in his cat form. Hotaru picked him up and gave him a tight hug then proceeded to shack him back and forth as she did so. "Neko, Neko, Neko!" she sang with each swing.
"Hey caught it out, let me go!" he groaned, struggling to get out of her grip. She released him and clapped her hands. Kyou was about to run out the open window when he heard the door open.
"Hotaru are you ok? What was that noise?...where's Kyou." Hotaru rolled her eyes at Minako as if to say not this again and pointed at Kyou.
"Neko."
"Why..yes that is a cat. But that's not who I'm looking for. Where's Ky-ou?" she asked. Hotaru let out an aggravated sigh. Minako turned to the cat and smiled. "Anyway how did you get in here kitty?" 'Oh great! This is just perfect!' Kyou thought as she came over to him.
POP!
Minako shielded her eyes as an orange cloud formed in front of her. She waved it away and looked to see what had caused that to happen. What she saw shocked her."Oh my god! KYOU put some clothes ON!" she shouted.
She grabbed Hotaru and covered the small girls eyes, before shutting her own.
"Minako! what's wrong?" Haruka and the others came bursting in. Kyou had just finished putting his pants back on, but it still looked like something wasn't right. Haruka's face turned red with anger.
"You sick bastard! I'm going to kill yyyuuuooooo...!" she screamed. She balled her hands into fists and prepared to lunge at him when Setsuna and Usagi got a hold of her. "Haruka don't jump to conclusions! Think this through, why would Kyou try to do something like that in our house, that's practically suicide." Usagi reasoned.
"Then he's getting his wish! Let me go!"
"Wait Ms. Haruka please. I can explain." Tohru said getting between her and the very shocked Kyou. Yuki just let a sigh of frustration out. 'Stupid cat always has to screw things up.'
After finally calming Haruka to the point she wouldn't lunge at the guy, but just give him glares that would make anyone scared senseless, Tohru and the others had no choice but to tell them the truth.
"You see...we Sohma's have a curse. Whenever we are hugged by the opposite gender or our bodies are under to much stress we transform into an animal of the zodiac." Haru explained.
"We don't know why this is so, but it's plagued our family for generations. I am the rabbit, Haru's the cow, Yuki's the rat, Kyou's the cat." Momiji continued.
"But the cats not a member?" Setsuna stated.
"Yeah but I am included." Kyou grumbled, which earned a piercing glare from Haruka.
"There is also the head of the family, he is...born to die for them." Tohru said looking down.
"As you well now when we transform back into people we're naked. That's why Kyou didn't have any clothes on." Haru said. "I was wondering when this would happen." Setsuna said standing up. Minako looked up at her.
"You knew about this?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well being who I am, I know a lot of things. But I am always informed about people with strange powers or curses such as this. You'll be surprised how many I've heard of. Well enough of this. Would you mind if we visited your home. We also have something to tell you." Setsuna asked.
"Setsuna are you sure?" Usagi asked her guardian, looking a little stunned.
"They told us there secret, now it's time we told them our's. well shall we?" The Sohma's took them to Shigure's. When the got there Usagi and Minako were still a little hesitant about the man. Haruka was glaring at all the guys if they got to close to any of them, Setsuna just walked confidently with a curious Hotaru in her hands. The left a note for Michiru back at the house.
"Well why have all you lovely ladies come to our home?" Shigure asked in his usual carefree voice.
"We know about the curse." Setsuna said bluntly, his face fell. "We came here to tell you our own." now he looked really confused. Setsuna sighed and began their story of the Sailor scouts.
Minako and Usagi played with Hotaru, having not the need to here the story they lived. Hotaru was trying to run up to Haru to give him a hug, but they kept taking her back. Haruka stopped her glaring to look out the window having nothing better to do. Soon Setsuna was finished.
"Well...that's quiet a tale." Shigure said.
"If only it were just a tale." Setsuna took a sip of tea. "And can you prove this.?" Kyou asked.
"A duh! Watch this. MOON PRISM POWER MAKEUP!" Usagi called out. Silver light engulfed her and after two sec. She stood in her regular sailor fuku. The Sohma's and Tohru looked shocked, except for Shigure who had a very smug look about him. A book came flying and smacked him in the face. Haruka stood over him with a murderous look in here eyes.
"Stop staring at her like that, before I cut out your eyes." she hissed.
"Haruka try to be nice for once." Haruka slightly gasped and turned to see michiru in the door way. "I'm sorry, I let my self in when no one answered the door. I'm Michiru Keioh."
"Oh..hehe...nice to me you." Shigure said, his face red and a tear attached to his eye. Usagi had de- henshined, and was sitting back down next to Minako, giving Shigure a disgusted look. Hotaru just laughed at Haruka's temper then ran up to Michiru to hug her. She pointed to introduce them to her.
"Doggy, Neko, Nezumi, Cowy, Bunny, Toe-uu." she said. Michiru nodded at her and smiled.
"Thank you Hotaru." she said. "Now can you go sit with Usagi please." Hotaru nodded and went to sit by her 'sister.' "So you told them. Well at least we also now their own secret."
"I'm glad you're here Michiru. Well Hotaru may have given you a little introduction, but I'll tell you there real names. This is Shigure, Kyou, Yuki, Haru, Momiji, and Tohru."
"Yes I met a few of them before. Sorry I'm late auditions went by really slow." she apologized.
"It's ok. Not much really happened, well that's not really true." Haruka shrugged, Michiru smiled at her. "Anyway we better be going."
"Yes, oh and Shigure?" Setsuna said standing up.
"Uh yes?" he asked, worried he would get hit again.
"You may tell Akito about this, and arrange a meeting if he wants." she said then left the room. The Sohma's looked shocked, the other senshi said good-bye and followed the eldest. "Ho-how did she know?" Tohru asked.
"She did say she was the guardian on time, I guess that has something to do with that." Haru said. "Anyway it's late would it be a problem if we stayed the night?"
"Um no. now excuse me I need to go think this over." Shigure said entering into his study.
"Um Setsuna-mama. Who's Akito?" Minako asked cradling a tiered Hotaru.
"He's the head of the family, the one who was born to die."
