Chpt.3- To the rescue!

Kageru ran from the banquet, tears in her eyes. She could hear people shouting her name and calling her back.

"W-where is she going Akaido?" Bunny asked, his eyes wide.

Akaido said nothing. "Oh Bunny, she just went to do something… I think female stuff." Rat said, blushing. "Why don't you go play with Tiger?"

Bunny huffed. "She's playing with Ram and he wont let me play." He looked at Akaido. "Did Akaido do something to Kageru?"

Akaido glared at him. "Do you want me to do something to that bitch?" Bunny shook his head in fear.

Meanwhile…

Kageru reached the tree where Cat was fast asleep. She jumped on him. "Cat! Oh Cat, wake the hell up!" Kageru yelled in his ear.

"Huh?" he looked at her. "Oh hi, you came to snuggle with me?" he sat up.

She shook her head and he realized that she was crying. "What's wrong? Ketno, Kageru's crying. Are you hurt?"

Kento jumped off his favorite branch and walked over to them. "She never gets hurt, someone else did this. Kagi, what's wrong?"

"You guys, the Banquet isnt tommorrow, it's today! They fooled you and now you're going to punished by the Gods." Kageru screamed.

"What?" Cat sprang to his feet. "I knew that Rat was being to damn nice…" he mumbled.

"Who cares?" Kento started running. "We need to get to that banquet! Come on!" they all raced away.

The Banquet…

"Are those all the animals already?" the Gods asked. All the animals looked at the sky. No one ever saw the Gods for it might kill them.

"What about Kento?" Tiger whispered in Ram's ear. He shrugged.

Akaido spoke up. "Yes, your holy-ness. That is everyone." Rat looked away and said nothing, Bunny sniffled.

"Very well then, if there are no more animals wrothy, then we will tell you at sunset."

"Wait!" Kageru burst through the crowd, followed by Kento and Cat. "You holy-ness, we beg for forgiveness but you see, my brother and Cat were tricked." She glared at Akaido.

"Didn't you lock the door?" Akaido hissed at Rat.

"I- I did, sir." He looked around and Tiger pulling a piece of wood from Ram's head, he smiled. "Maybe someone opened it?" Akaido said nothing.

"Akaido! What is the meaning of this?" Akaido bowed.

"Most apoligies sire, but it seems as though these three did not want to pay attention to how late they are." Akaido glared at Cat.

"But wasn't the blue fox here on time? Explain me that."

"I think I can, sire. You see Akaido purposely made Cat and Kento receive the wrong information. When I found out, I immediately went back for them." Kageru said, bowing.

"That was very noble of you. You may still join the Zodiac but as the last member. As for Cat, you were a fool for not asking the other animals, so if you want to join my Zodiac, you are going to have beat the Rat."

Cat got a devilish smile on his face, Rat glared at him. "Thank you." Cat bowed his head.

"As for you Red Fox, you are to roam with the Zodiac but never be part of it… unless you kill the one who made you miss my banquet. Akaido, come with me." Akaido followed the Gods voices over to the other side of a hill.

Kento laid down. "Guess I'm not joining the Gods Zodiac." Cat looked at him.

"What do you mean you idiot? All you have to do is kill Rat." Cat saw Kagery's eyes getting watery again.

She shook her head. "No, Cat, he would have to kill you." Kageru ran towards the hill where Akaido was being punished.

With the Gods…

"Akaido, we give your animals an opertunity to part of us, something so blessed, and you use it for your own benefits? You defy us?"

Akaido said nothing but hung his head. "For this, you alone Akaido will have to always be with the Zodiac but never be part of it. But do not worry about it, you will not bear this alone, for I place a curse opon the animals as well."

Akaido's eyes widened in fear but he dared not say a word. "Your human family line will be possed by the spirits of the Zodiac animals. And not only that, but if they are hugged by the oppisite sex, they will turn into their animal."

Kageru burst through a berry bush into the clearing. Akaido stared at her. "Dear Gods! I am sorry for this intrusion and I know the gift that you hve bestowed upon us animals, but I do not wish to be part of the Zodiac. Not without my brother and Cat. I'm sorry."

"If you feel that way my child, you will be forgotten as long as time keeps going." Kageru departed, quickly after hearing what the Gods had said to her.

Akaido was now crying, actually showing feeling. "Please, dear Gods, I know I have disgraced my animals and myself but is there no way to break the curse?" there a long silence.

"Fine, there is a way to break the curse, but you nor any of the Zodiac animals know. The casted out member will have the knowledge but not know of it. It will be hard to retrieve it. Now begone."

Akaido rushed off. When he was sure the Gods had left back to the heaven he began plotting. "They're not going to take them away from me… Cat took her away and I'm not letting them take my Zodiac away. I will keep them under my rein always!" he said to himself.
