Chiro

I watched as their eyes became clear and started to look as confused as I felt. "Dam Cat," Yuki muttered. All eyes widened as they turned to him. "That idoit was right." I knew that Yuki and Papa didn't get along in there youth, but I had never heard Yuki speak of Papa in such a manner. From the look on Haru's face, it had been a while. "Yuki," Haru started to say, but Yuki cut him off. "He was right! He was right! I didn't believe him, but he was right. She is the Goddess." Haru looked shocked as did Mama. "Chiro's the Goddess?" My mother whimpered. "Isn't Akito the Goddess?" I knew the answer to that one. "Yes Mama. Akito is the Goddess. At least for now. I won't truley be the Goddess until the Zodiac follows me. Think of me as a Goddess in trainig." Mama thought about this for a moment then nodded. "It used to be easier to tell." Rin said. "It used to be that we knew who everone was when they where born. The curse is weakening. First Hatsu, now Chiro. I would have never guessed." Tears where wellding in her eyes. Hatsu knelt in front of his mother and put his hand on her knee. "It's okay Mom. It's okay. I'm fine with it and I'm sure Chiro is too. Isn't that right Chiro?" He turned to me and waited for an answer. "I'm not sure what you mean, Hatsu." I was really confused then. What about Hatsu? " Have you excepted that your the Goddess?" "Yes, of course I have." "See Mom, it's alright." Hatsu said turning back to Rin. "I just feel terrible." She reached out and stroked Hatsu's face. "I thought that you where safe from it. If I had known that Kuerno..." "Mom, I'm glad you didn't. Think about it. I can help Chiro. That's what I'm meant to do. The rooster is the Goddess' measager. Right Chiro?" Once again, I was caught off guard. "Ro..rooster?" Hatsu looked at me for a moment, trying to understand. It took a moment, but Hatsu's face quickley showed understanding. "Of course." He sighed. "How could I forget. That was after you where taken." What was going on? What does Kuerno have to do with this? "Chiro, we didn't know for a long time, but... I'm the rooster."
