Amaya: She still didn't get enough sleep. Instead she woke up to watch Bleach, but then she was too tired and ate one tube too many of chocolate coated sunflower seeds. Stupid writer... Even when she's devouring a sea's worth of sugar she's a health nut!
I'm so not a health nut! I EAT health nuts! I am sooooo not a cannibal! UWAH! MEANIE AMAYA! Ok, go on and read now! REEEEAAAAAAAAAAD!

"Urg…" I said, feeling myself on the ground. I must have fainted. I had been doing that a lot… It was getting very annoying. Something wet was all over my face. I wiped it away, noticing it was very cold water.
I sat up, making something drop of my body and into my lap. When I looked down, I found it to be a little black bunny.
"Tohru Sensei, you're up…" It said in Nyoko's voice, and I remembered why I had fainted. Nyoko was a bunny! "Please, don't mention this to anyone… I'll tell you about everything after school." She said, and hopped away towards the pile of clothes on the ground.
Suddenly, there was another poof of purple smoke and Nyoko appeared in her human form wearing her birthday suit. Quickly, she dressed herself and got back to painting. The rest of the children were doing the same. Thank kami for Beethoven…
As I walked over, I saw Nyoko's picture. It was a giant reproduction the picture of me and the carrot top that she had showed me before.
"Nyoko, what's his name?" I asked, and she continued painting his hair a bright orange. Eventually, she responded.
"He's Sohma Kyo, my Mama and Papa's cousin." She said, continuing to paint. I nodded, remembering that he was in the first memory I had and the memory of Hatori, too. "I can tell you a lot more after school, but Mama said not to talk about my family to normal people."
"Normal?" I asked, wondering what the bunny girl meant by it. Suddenly, the bell rang for dismissal. Weird… Had I passed out that long? I walked over to the sliding Plexiglas doors and opened them, letting the kids out to their parents. Then, I walked back over to Nyoko.
"Hai, Tohru Sensei. But you have a lot to do with our curse, Mama said…" Nyoko murmured. And talking about Mama… Rin walked into the room just then.
"Did Nyoko do something wrong, Honda?" She asked, her brown-black eyes narrowing in anger, her long black hair blowing in the wind.
"Hai, Mama. I did… I ran into a boy…" Rin gasped, her eyes widening. Then, she started fuming. I think the fuming was directed at me, but I couldn't be sure. With more strength than her body suggested, the slammed the glass door and whipped open a black cell phone so loud there was a crack.
"Haru, come over here now!" Rin practically screamed into the phone, and I could just imagine Hatsuharu's ear being blown off. Slowly, the angry mother closed the phone, staring angrily at me. I shuddered, stepping back one or two steps. "Honda, you don't know how much trouble you're causing my family…"

I shuddered. Mama was very mad now, and at Tohru Sensei! It wasn't her fault! Also, Mama had spoken so fondly of Tohru Sensei. Why was she upset that she was remembering everything? Didn't she want the curse broken? As I thought this, I heard Mama screaming, tears in her voice.
"Why couldn't you just stay oblivious to all the bad things that happened!?! Why do you insist on remembering every little drop of pain you got from us horrible Sohmas!?!" She yelled, her voice cracking. As I stared up to her, clinging onto Tohru Sensei's leg, I saw tears flowing down her cheeks from her brown-black eyes. Why was Mama sad?
"Mama, please don't blame Tohru Sensei…" I said quietly, tears flowing down my own cheeks. But Mama didn't listen.
"It was better for you that way! We couldn't hurt you anymore!" Mama shook with weakness. She was always slickly, Papa said. Falling to her knees, she continued yelling at Tohru Sensei. "You helped me so much, but you insist on stopping me from returning the favor! None of us Sohmas could stay away from you, we never could! But I stopped them, I stopped them all to help you stay out of our affairs…"
Tohru gasped as Mama shuddered, having to use her hands to keep herself from falling. She tore away from my grasp and ran over to Mama, helping her up. But she struggled with Mama, trying to keep both herself and Mama from falling over with instability.
Just then, Papa ran through the glass doors and grabbed Mama's left arm, the one that Tohru Sensei had left alone as she tried to prop Mama up on her. Together, the two got Mama in a bean bag chair safely. But as they did, Mama transformed in an outburst of smoke.

"Not again!" I yelled as Rin was surrounded by smoke. When it cleared away, I met eyes with a black mare. "A horse?" I asked absent mindedly. Why was Nyoko a bunny, yet Rin a horse?
"Yeah, Tohru. The Sohmas are cursed with the spirits of the Zodiac. We transform when weak or when hugged by the opposite gender, unless it's another Zodiac member." Haru said, as if it was common knowledge. Of course, it could be for him. "I'm the ox."
I stared at him, now realizing the reason for his odd hair. "Does that mean Yuki, Kisa, Hatori, Hiro, Momiji, Kureno, and Kyo are Zodiac, too?" I asked, and he nodded.
"How do you remember them?" Rin asked in her horse form, wheezing from exhaustion. I looked at her, not at all surprised that she was talking.
"I had a memory of Kyo first… and then in my memory of Hatori were Kyo, Yuki, and Momiji, and then I had a memory of Kisa, and she talked about Hiro, and then Kureno came here today. He subbed for me yesterday…" I answered, and both Haru and Rin looked at each other nervously.
"Kureno never leaves the main house unless Akito tells him to… He must have been ordered to keep an eye on you." Haru said, looking away. "That's going to cause a problem… You'll probably get figured out and Hatori will have to erase your memories. That type is for good."
"But I want to remember! I want to remember everything!" I said, holding my head as if to protect the memories inside it. Rin nodded her horse head as if in agreement. Wasn't she yelling at me a minute ago about how I ruined everything by remembering?
"Then you'll have to keep this remembering to a low profile." She stated, nickering as well. "Whatever you need help with, ask any of the Zodiac, except for Kureno. We all owe you so much."
"For what?" I asked, wondering what I could have possibly done that they would all do anything for me.
"Everything."

I laid down on the hard stone bench. Looking up at the stars and thinking about what Kisa had said. 'Wish something again, Kyo-nii! Wish that she would come to see you, and wish in with all your heart!'
Why did she want me to do that? It really wouldn't do anything. Wishing never did. Wishing is just the absence of taking action, a thing that I obviously can't do in here. All I do anymore is wish, because I cannot act. How pathetic.
"Would Tohru be disgusted by me if she knew what I became?" I asked no one, not even aware that I had spoken those words out loud.
"Yes, I'm sure of it, monster." A cruel voice said right beside me. It was Akito's. I hadn't heard him approaching… (Kyo doesn't know Akito is a girl, and since this is first person, he can't say her) "Although, she might be terribly proud, for she, too, is a monster. And monsters strive to be disgusting and wicked, no?"
"Shut up!" I roared, turning on Akito. "Don't talk about her that way, ever!" He backed away, a smirk still on his face. "She's better than you'll ever be, SO DON'T YOU DARE TALK THAT WAY ABOUT HER!"
"How dare you, monster, talk back to me! I am God, and you are but a monster that killed his own mother!" He yelled back, throwing a spare rock from the ground at me. Its point slashed across my cheek, creating a rather deep cut.
"I didn't kill her!" I yelled back, yet I didn't mean to intimidate Akito. Instead, I intended to distract him from the bench from which I had sprung up. Under it was the spare key, my one way ticket to freedom.
"I didn't come here to mince words with you, monster. I only want to ask you a few questions." Akito said, his eyes darting to the bench. I shuffled to hide the rusted bronze key beneath from his view and growled.
"Then ask already and get out." I grumbled, desperate to get him out. Akito laughed maliciously and motioned for me to sit on my knees on the ground. Gratefully, I did, hiding the beneath my feet. He sat down on the opposing bench, as if it was his throne.
"Do you know that your precious monster is teaching a Sohma child?" He asked, and I shook my head no. I couldn't let him know. It could make it so much worse for Tohru. "Does Tohru remember?" Another no. A yes would make it so much worse.
"I told you I didn't know she was teaching a Sohma child, so how should I know if she remembers?" I asked, trying to seem innocent.
"Liar!" Akito spat, entangling his hand in my hair and pulling it so I looked him in the eye, wincing in pain. "You know, and it's your fault! Change it back somehow, or else I will." I shuddered. Akito would hurt her. "I've had enough of her. If she meddles again, I'll bring you pictures of her murder."
"You bastard!" I hissed, slapping his hand out of my hair and standing up. "If she spills one drop of blood, I'LL KILL YOU!" Akito only laughed his malicious laugh in my face and tripped me. My head banged on the rock hard wall and it started bleeding. But I instantly sprung up, reaching for the same thing Akito was. The key.
"You won't be needing this, monster." He said, grabbing it just a second before I did. I fell over and Akito just stepped over me towards the door. As he did, I tripped him and slammed his head on the ground, giving me enough time to grab the key and rush out the door. As I did, I slammed the door, ignoring Akito's murderous threats, and locked the door. Then, I made a mad dash for it.

Hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi people! That was scary! Akito is a meanie poo! Like my friend Mandy-chan! She's Mandy Meanie Poo! Uwah, she never goes on MSN... that's why she's a meanie poo! I know it should be Meanie Mandy Poo, but I want it to be Mandy Meanie Poo cuz that's the just way that I want it. And I get what I want, cuz I'm the authoress! I can do whatever I want with my story! Hee hee, I love being the authoress! ):-D Hee hee, like my smiley face!?!
Amaya: Baka... I'll do all the serious talking. It's scary how she can write like this when she's happily hyper... -.-' Rin is the scariest thing ever when she's mad... I should know, I've kinda made her mad a lot... -.-' I've made Akito mad a lot, too... He's a bit scary when he's mad... But at least Kyo is finally doing something. He's such a lazy hero...
Kyo: Shut up, damn cat! Wow... it feels weird to say that... Anyway, I DO DO STUFF IN THE STORY! I mean, it's cuz of me that Tohru's remembering at all!
Amaya: Nah, I cold have easily wishe dupon a star. But that doesn't DO anything. She just wanted to remember. You didn't do anything, nothing at all. Tohru's a strong girl, she can handle herself. That's why she did everything herself.
Nyoko: I'm not getting any credit...
Amaya: Shuddup, you're just a fill-in character, an OC
Nyoko: But so are you...
Amaya: But I have my own fanfiction series!
Nyoko: I could have my own series if I want...
Yay, a series for Nyoko! Nn... I'm suddenly not su sure about that...
Amaya: Well duh, I'm pretty much a part of your mind!
Nyoko: I'm a part of her mind, too...
Tohru: Ano... When will I get to see Kyo-kun? I miss not being able to talk to him even outside this story... -stares off at a little tent that Kyo is living in-
Geeze, it's to build up for the moment in the story when you and Kyo are finally reunited!
Kyo: But that doesn't mean you have to keep me away from her!
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you two are used to making out at least ten times every day... Well... Tohru, you can keep getting CPR from Kureno... And Kyo... erm... a rabid fangirl can get you. I don't want your so well built up kissing skills to rust!
Kyo: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! -is glomped by random rabid fangirl-
Well, I think Everyone has been ranting enough... Ja' ne! -runs away to try to form single line for the Kyo kissing booth of sorts with the newspaper of doom-
