Chapter 4: Akito's twin.

As the day went on, they wondered if any others were going to walk in and show that they were cursed. It turned out that no one had. So far they were the only ones. Akito sat there not saying a word the whole day. Finally, when it was time for dinner, Tohru made them something. Kuroko's parents said they were going somewhere leaving her to fend for herself.

"So... anyone for Leek soup?" Tohru asked happily.

"NO!" Kyo and Kuroko said in unison.

Hikaru giggled. "You were like Kyo-kun from the start weren't you?" she said. Suddenly Akito rose from where she was sitting.

"I guess we need to have a meeting... without the creatures or non- family..." she said to them all. Hikaru got scared, and said to Kuroko on the side...

"It was better when she wasn't talking."

She sighed. "I better go than..." Hikaru saw that Yuki seemed kind of freaked out. She went over to him...

"Hey, it's alright Yuki. I don't like her...him either... I'll make sure you don't get alone with him..." she said catching herself calling her by her gender when they all didn't know yet...

The Sohmas and the other members of the zodiac went out to Kuroko's back yard to have their meeting.

"I really hate that bitch..." Kuroko said to herself, however, Kyo heard her.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh... uh... You heard me?" she asked him.

"Yea... why did you call him a bitch?"

"Uh... an American figure of speech..." she covered for herself. "I have a cousin in Pennsylvania."

"Nice cover..." Ryuzaki said to her.

"Shut up!" She said, but than whispered to him... "And I don't like you like that, so I hope our fates aren't the same..."

"How can that be when Katsu hates my guts... Haru likes Tohru..." He reminded her.

"Oh... right... I forgot... but she could change..." Kuroko said to him.

"So... you're like me huh?" Kyo asked Kuroko after a while.

"Yea... I wasn't surprised that that Ninja-rat was the rat, because I already treat him like you treat Yuki. He treats me like Yuki treats you too... I can never win against that guy!"

Kyo grinned. "Maybe we can team up against those damn rats!" he suggested.

"That sounds like the perfect idea!" Kuroko agreed. From that time on, Tohru and Ryuzaki talked silently, as Kyo and Kuroko began training themselves to gang up on the rats.

Meanwhile, the others were talking about what they were going to do. Most of them were scared to cross Akito, especially the Sohmas... but Hikaru was still really pissed at her, and wanted so badly to just snap her out of it, but since she was just part of the zodiac she feared she may not be able to do anything. They decided that Shigure, Kyo, Yuki, Tohru, Kuroko, Kitsuho, and Katsu are to stay with Suzume in her house, and the rest are to stay on the estate of Akemi, Ryuzaki, and Goro.

Suddenly, it started to rain outside. The two cats immediately started getting aggravated, and stopped sparing instead annoyed at the rain. There was a sudden knock at the door... Ryuzaki answered and found a snake at the door.

"Please help me..." it said in a normal voice.

"Hold on! I know that voice!" Kuroko said when it came in and started thanking them for helping... "You're Kitsuho-san's older brother Arata-san!" she said in amazement. Suddenly with a poof, he changed, and Ryuzaki gave him blankets to cover up.

"Yea... Do you have any idea what's going on? All the sudden I was sick from the weather, and poof, I become a snake..." he explained.

"Uh... I don't know... but something slimy is going on..." Kuroko said angrily. "You see apparently we all are doubles of that Manga Fruits Basket, and Akemi came in and said she was the snake... There can't be two snakes..."

"What's going on?" Akemi said walking in.

"Arata-nii! What are you doing here?" Kitsuho asked.

"I..."

"He turned into a snake... ninja-rat..." Kuroko said glaring at him, but than made her gaze go to Akemi. "You said you turned into a snake. What's going on? What are you getting at by saying that?"

"I..." she began to say, but Akito interfered.

"You have no rite to talk to her that way... monster..."

"I can say whatever I want in my house Akito-san! I don't care if I'm cursed or not, you are not the boss of me, you're the boss of the Sohmas, not us..." Kuroko said, but than was slapped to the ground by Akemi.

"Shut up you horrible creature!" She said as everyone gasped. "Yea, I lied about being the snake... because I am the god of all of you. You taught me all I needed to gain power, and by god I did it. I control all of you idiots now, and you can't do anything about it!" she said.

Kuroko was too shocked to say a word. Her face was still stinging from that slap, and no one seemed to want to talk to Kuroko. You see, she's a witch, and taught Akemi some things... however; she never seemed to appreciate it. Now she must have done some sort of spell to make her and her friends another cursed family. Kuroko knew she had to break this curse no matter what. Even if it meant going against the "god" of her family, she wanted to break this stupid curse.

After that outburst, Kuroko ran up to the roof [it stopped raining. She curled up and began to cry. What did I get myself into? She asked herself. She blamed herself for this mess, because the day before was her really birthday, and she made a wish that her life had more adventure in it. Suddenly, Kyo came up to join her.

"You alright?" he asked.

"Yea, I'm fine..." she said angrily. "I was just hoping we wouldn't have to deal with the twin of Akito-san..."

"You're not the only one..." Kyo replied. "You know, you're the first girl I could actually relate to and talk to..."

"That's because I get pissed off easy, talks back a lot, and is cursed by the spirit of the cat..." she replied with a grin.

"Yea, that helps." He said.

Kuroko didn't want to admit it, but Kyo seemed to like her, but she couldn't let that happen; first of all, he ends up with Tohru. Second of all, she was still getting over ninja-rat. And Third of all, they all needed to get back to their world or time or whatever, so she couldn't get attached. Kuroko wished Kyo-kun wasn't so damn cute!

-

Finally, Suzume called them down in order to go to her place. Ayami-san went with Arata-san. Kuroko didn't like the fact she was stuck sitting next to Kitsuho, but she dealt with it. Since neither Shigure nor Suzume wanted to drive, Katsu drove them. They gave the bedrooms according to zodiac... Cats in one room, rats in another, dogs in separate rooms [they didn't trust each other since they were both perverts..., the cow had her own room, and so did Tohru and Ryuzaki.

Kyo and Kuroko were about to go to sleep, when Shigure started to check out Kuroko's things, and found a miniature version of himself.

"Aw... Kuro-chan! You really like me!" he said squeezing the plushy.

"Yea, I do... but... can you PLEASE not call me Kuro-chan!" she said kind of annoyed.

"Go to bed Shigure!" Kyo yelled.

Shigure whined now... "Aw, but I wanted to get acquainted with my fan!"

"Uh... What exactly do you mean by that?" Kuroko asked.

Shigure grinned, and Kuroko got up, dragged him into the hall, and put him against the wall... [It's not what you think believe me!

"Shii-chan, I like you, but you are not my type... I mean... you are my type... but..." she sighed. "Listen, I know about Akito-Chan's secret... And... I hate to admit it, but you end up with her. I didn't like it when I read it, but than I realized it was REALLY cute. So as much as I really like you, I can't do anything but hug and kiss my plushy, so can I please have it back?"

Shigure seemed a little freaked out, but than had a more serious face and gave her back the plushy. "Just don't tell anyone..."

"Don't worry; I'll try my best to not call her female names..." She smirked as she went back inside and went to sleep cuddling with her plushy.

"Is there a plushy of me?" Kyo asked.

"Yea... Hikaru-chan has one... She was gonna give me Yuki for Christmas, but I almost screamed at her telling her not to..." she said remembering that time... She than slowly fell asleep...
