Chapter 2: Of Kish and Fights

Princess Sango

The mew mews giggled as they watched the faces of the Sohma family turn into a funny face. Ichigo let out a loud giggle and everyone turned to her, "I'm…sorry…it's just that…ha-ha…the looks on your faces…"

Retasu tried to calm down Ichigo but she just kept laughing and Ryou sighed, "As you can see, some of our so-called "members" aren't exactly human anymore. Ichigo just happens to show more than anyone else."

Ichigo stopped laughing and turned to Ryou, "Excuse me, I do not!"

Ryou smirked and pulled out a ball of string and flung it around her and soon after Ichigo was found chasing it, "See my point?"

Ichigo, pulling out of her cat-faze looked at Ryou with contempt, "You're so mean! If it wasn't for my powers I wouldn't have gotten in gymnastics and I wouldn't have been able to impress…"

Ryou gave her a sly look and Ichigo covered her mouth, blushing furiously. "Isn't that cheating though," Shigure asked.

"No it's not, but then again, maybe you're right. I think she thought she had a cause for it, or thought she did," Mint explained with a smirk.

Ichigo blushed even redder and Zakuro asked, "I wasn't there when that happened, tell me more Mint."

Well as Mint couldn't resist explaining this story to her idol, she continued, "Well, Retasu was there with us but anyway, she was late for school as usual, and that idiot who's our leader, used her powers to get there. Well, the gymnastics teacher saw it, and recruited her, at first she thought on quitting, but then decided against it because Masaya-kun was going to be close. Well, needless to say she joined for that reason."

Ichigo blushed and ran out of the room, while the rest of them laughed. Zakuro giggled, "Really? She did that?"

Mint nodded, "She still likes him too."

Meanwhile with Ichigo…

Ichigo sat on the porch quietly crying when she heard a voice, "Ah, my poor kitty cat, why are you so sad?"

Ichigo looked up to come face to face with Kish's face and she shrieked, "What do you want?"

"Ah, that's no fair, I can't drop by?" asked Kish as if he was innocent.

"Usually when you drop by it's trouble and I'm not in the mood okay?" Ichigo yelled at him.

Kish smirked, "I don't care if you're upset, guess you need a preticite to brighten your day?"

Ichigo bit her lip and Kish brought out his creature and she sighed, "Fine, Mew Mew Metamorphisis!"

Soon after, she had her companions next to her and they were fighting the creature and before you know it, the creature was defeated and they changed back. The onlookers caught sight of Kish and Tohru watched Ichigo and Kish squabble, "You didn't have to do that kitty cat."

Ichigo snorted, "Yes I did, if I let you win, then this planet is destroyed!"

Kish got close up to her face, "I really wish you'd join me kitty cat, then this would be half easier."

Ichigo slapped him and Kish transported away, "The nerve of him!"

Tohru giggled slightly, "Like Yuki and Kyo almost, that's what Ichigo's fighting reminds me of."

Soon they transformed back and Tohru hurried into the kitchen to get them something to drink and a little snack. Coming back she gave them to the team of super heroes and Ichigo thanked her, "It feels nice, having someone tell you good job and feel rewarded. Japan is kind of ignorant to us, and I guess I don't mind some praise now and then."

Ryou hit her head lightly, "Can you please shut up about that? If the press really was on your every move then you'd never get anything done."

Kyo sat there staring, someone else actually shared a curse, but they didn't have to worry about transforming, all but Ichigo, but even then it's not as easy as everyone else in the Sohma family. Shigure sat back down on his chair, "Oh, about us, as in the Sohma family, we're not a very social family, you could say we have our own world. It is very rare for anyone to know our secret. Tohru is an exception, but as long as you keep this quiet, and don't let this slip we can not tell Akito."

Ryou looked at each mew mews and Ichigo spoke up, "It would be nice to be friends with someone who at least shared something in common with us!"

Ryou smirked, "We promise to keep your secret as long as you keep ours. Promise not to tell?"

Shigure smirked, "I don't know, I should check with my committee. What do you think guys?"

Tohru smiled as Momiji nodded and Kyo and Yuki were neutral, and Momiji smiled as he came forth, "Welcome to the Sohma family secret!"

Purin jumped up and down with Momiji as Shigure watched their happy antics. Tohru turned to Rettatsu and smiled, "So what's your name, I think I shall be seeing you more often."

Rettatsu smiled, "My name is Rettatsu and I'm the finless porpoise on our team. I didn't quite catch your name though."

"Tohru Honda, it's nice to meet you Rettatsu-san, I never thought I'd meet people with something similar to the Sohmas," Tohru answered, "Hey Shigure-san, if they have animal instinct, shouldn't they be able to hug them without worry?"

Shigure shook his head, "If it wasn't for Momiji, they wouldn't have known."

"That's true, but we're different animals Shi-chan, maybe it's different with people with the same animal," Momiji answered from his little happy dance with Purin.

Ichigo sat up, "Let's try it!" She walked over to Kyo and hugged him, but only came up with flesh, not fur of a little cat. Backing away she nodded, "So it is only compatible animals, so who else shares an animal here?"

"I'm a wolf, and that's close enough to a dog," Zakuro affirmed and walked over to Shigure and sat in his lap. Flesh on flesh, and no dog in the chair. Zakuro stood up, "Wow, good guess Momiji."

Mint, Rettatsu, and Purin sighed, "I guess no zodiac has us."

Tohru shook her head, "No that's not true at all, you have Kureno-san for Mint, Hatori-san for Rettatsu, and Rit-chan-san for Purin."

"Did someone say my name, oh I'M SORRY PITTIFUL WORLD, I'M SORRY!" Ritsu yelled out as he pranced around the room.

Shigure poked his side and the yelling instantly stopped and Ritsu fell on the floor, "The magic touch!"

Yuki sighed, "That's no magic touch."

"Oh but it is Yuki, or should I call Ayame?" Shigure asked, his hand reaching towards the phone.

Yuki and Kyo both jumped up and hit there cousin, "DON'T YOU EVER CALL HIM!"

Tohru sighed, "This is their normal attitude, Ayame-san never really got along with Kyo-kun and Sohma-kun."

Ichigo's ears perked up and turned, "Who is Ayame?"

"Oh Ayame is Sohma-kun's older brother," Tohru explained, "He's the snake of the zodiac."

Suddenly a loud noise came form the front door and Tohru scrambled up to go look to see who it was, "Hello?"
