Cow Tipping

Armed with a glamour spell and knowledge of the Sohma clan, Kuri deems herself the protector of the Zodiac! But what will she do when the glamour runs out? Can she be the Horse forever? Or will Haru spill her secret?

2. Confined

"I-I don't know what you mean." I rebutted softly.

"Suuure you don't." Haru grinned. "Maybe you mean you want to take a walk?"

I nodded glumly. How was I going to get out of this?

"You're the Horse right?" Haru asked.

"Yes I am." I touched my hair again. Did he recognize it? Did he remember Rin?

"Huh. I always thought they weren't born yet."

I sighed in relief.

"So you gonna tell me how?" Haru said seriously. "I am not going to tell anyone by the way."

"Really?" I spoke up in spite of myself. "Why?"

"I figure you got enough to deal with." Haru grinned. "How long do you think you can keep Akito confined? Either he'll escape or one of us will have to release him. We can't help it. Might even be you." He poked my chest.

I shuddered. "We'll confine him as long as we can. We have to protect the Zodiac. Including the Cat."

Haru's eyes narrowed. "So that's what this is about." He smirked suddenly. "You're in love with Kyo."

I groaned. This was gonna be harder than I thought.
