Hello everybody! Thank you for all the gracious reviews, they really help! Well, I've actually got my story planned out now. And I think I should change the summary. Because it's going to be very different now, but Mina's still going to be moi importante, very important. So on with the story!


Tohru's point of view.

We walked home silently. I mean very silently. Really, it seemed as if we weren't moving at all. There was absolutely no sound. Even the trees seemed to be pondering their thoughts.

Then, Yuki said, "Mina-san, Shishou's house is that way."

"Yes, I know, but Shishou's gone out somewhere, I have to spend the day at Shigure-san's house. Kunimitsu had called"

That was all we said through our whole trip. Right before we reached the house however, a few words were exchanged.

"So, should we tell Shigure about well, what happened?" asked Kyo.

This had not occurred to any of us. "Well, I don't think it will be very wise. I think we should wait for a little bit. You can never know what Shigure is thinking and he is very close to Akito." Mina pointed out.

We all agreed. "But, how do we know if Shigure-san still has the curse?" I asked timidly.

"Um……… well there's only one way to find out, Tohru. And that would be for you to……" Mina said, awkwardly. I nearly fell over.

"No way" said Kyo and Yuki at once, their tone final. I sighed in relief.

"Well then, you could hit him mercilessly until he transforms. But I don't think that's a good idea" Mina said.

"Forget about it. Come on let's go home." Kyo said and opened the door (he had a key)

Normal point of view:

"Welcome home!" Shigure said. Then he noticed Mina, "Ah, yes, Kunimitsu had called and told me you would be coming!"

Yuki and Kyou grunted as they headed to their rooms. "Thank you, Shigure-san. I hope your day went well?" Tohru said

"Ah, yes it did, actually. I went to go visit Haa-san today. He asked me to give you something, Yuki. Yuki? Yuki!"

"Something, what do you mean something?" Mina said.

"Well, it's the most peculiar thing." Shigure replied. By this time Yuki had come down.

"What is it?" he asked. Kyou peered out of the kitchen (he was drinking milk)

"Well, Haa-san said that one of the maids cleaning your room at the main house found something." He reached inside a cupboard, and took out a book. The book had a leather cover which was wrinkle with age, but in the center, there was a depression, the shape of a sun. It was dusty and dirty. It had a lock on it, which stopped anyone from opening it. "I hope you have a key Yuki, because I can't open it. I've tried every thing. I can't seem to open it. It's like it's enchanted" He reached out to give the book to Yuki.

Yuki shivered as he touched it. He ran his hands over the cover. "It seems………. familiar" he whispered. That was the last thing he said before he went to his room but he could hear Shigure asking why Tohru had not gone to work today. She had replied that she had the day off.

Yuki's point of view.

I was doing my bio homework, when Tohru called me down to dinner. I told her I'd be there in a minute. I was about to leave when I spied the book. I took it. There was something about it that seemed… magical. I stroked the spince and I felt a slight bump at the very end. That's odd. I looked at it with interest. I pressed it down. Then something very unexpected happened.

The spine came open, like a secret compartment, and from the spine fell out a key and a neatly folded piece of paper.


So that's chapter 7 everybody. I hope you enjoyed. I finally feel like we're getting somewhere! And as usual please REVIEW!
