Chapter 3: In Which There Is Confusion

The next day, KT and Megan journeyed to a neighboring park to relax. It was a gorgeous sunny day just perfect for being psychotic in the park. Though it was a great day, Megan was having a not so great day. She had been attacked by a squirrel hat probably had rabies, tripped over absolutely nothing….twice, and almost got ran over by a biker and his dog. KT however was having a great day. She found $10 in the street, some hot Japanese guy gave her his phone number (if only he had a twin), and was the 1000th person to walk by a ramen restaurant and therefore, received a free bowl of ramen. Lucky her.

As KT walked on the path like a normal person while Megan hopped from bench to bench, they caught sight of a volleyball game in progress to their right.

"Hey isn't that the orange haired kid we saw in the store yesterday?" Megan asked jumping down from the current bench. KT looked to the right.

"It looks like it. Why?" KT verified.

"Donno. Just pointing it out." Megan said jumping up on the next bench and began walking on it.

"HEADS UP!" someone yelled. Megan turned around thinking it came from behind her. No one was there.

"Who was that –muraAH!" Megan began but stopped when a volleyball made contact with her head at an alarming speed. This caused Megan to stumble backwards, over the backrest of the bench, doing a goofy little twist, and finally landing on her back behind the bench. KT didn't freak out to much as this was a part of Megan's everyday life. But she went to check on her just the same.

"Are you ok?" KT asked and trying really hard not to laugh.

"Isn't one curse enough? Today really isn't my day." Megan said with her eyes closed.

"God must hate me or some-" Megan continued but was interrupted.

"Oh my goodness are you ok!" a girl cried running up to her. It was the same girl from the store. The non crazy one.

"She's fine." KT said.

"Good job orangey! You injured an innocent pedestrian!" Another girl said walking up with the orange haired kid, followed by the other players.

"Its not my fault! She should have been paying attention!" the guy yelled back.

"Honestly Kyo…are you sure you're ok?" a silver haired boy with purple eyes asked.

"Yup. Happens all the time." Megan said picking herself up and finally standing.

"Really?" the girl asked.

"Yes! You wouldn't believe how clumsy she is." KT said.

"Thanks friend!" Megan said clenching her fists.

"Well I'm Tohru. This is Yuki-kun, Kyo-kun, Hatsuharu-san, Uo-chan, and Hana-chan." She explained gesturing to each of them.

"I'm KT and this is Megan." Kt replied.

"You both have interesting waves." Hana suddenly commented. Megan and KT were very confused.

"Sorry. Hana can read people's waves." Uo explained. KT and Megan weren't exactly sure how to respond. Tohru noticed and immediately changed the subject.

"Would you like to join us in a game of volleyball?"

"Sure! We got nothin' better to do." Megan shrugged.

"Great! Lets go." Tohru said.

"Are we playing by any special rules?" Megan asked.

"Rules are there are no rules. Just sudden death." Uo said sounding tough.

"I like that. Those are easy to follow." KT said cracking her knuckles.

"Ok, KT you can go with Yuki's team and Megan can be on Kyo's" Uo said.

Megan and KT walked to their respective teams. Megan was on a team with Kyo, Tohru, and Hana while KT's team consisted of Yuki, Uo, and Hatsuharu.

"You're goin' down KT!" Megan said with competitiveness dripping from her words.

"Oh I don't think so. Bring it on!" KT yelled back.

"Oh its been brought!" Megan yelled back with an evil smile.

"I'll believe it when I see it you crazy sea goat!" With that, KT and Megan took their place in front of each other with only the net separating them. Then the game began.

The game was very intense, at least for Megan, KT, Uo and Kyo. Megan was very good at serving while KT could spike like no tomorrow. Some of her spikes ended up hitting Megan in someway (today really isn't Megan's day).

"Out." Yuki said.

"What! That was in you damn rat!" Kyo yelled.

"It was out you stupid cat." Yuki said calmly with his eyes closed. KT was confused. Why were they calling each other rat and cat? Some crazy nickname?

"I'm pretty sure it was out." Haru chimed.

"No freakin way! Tohru was it in or out?" Kyo yelled.

"Ah…um…I-I didn't really see." She said sweat dropping.

"Ugh you're no help. KT? Which is it?"

"Um…it hit the line?" KT replied slightly questioning herself.

"Does that mean it's in our out?" Tohru asked.

"We were always taught that lines were in." Megan added.

"YES! In your face you damn rat!" Kyo cheered.

"It doesn't matter. Its not like we're keeping score anyway." Yuki reasoned.

"Since when!"

"Since the very beginning. But obviously you weren't listening." Uo said.

"I'm serving! Ready or not!" Megan said trying to move on.

After an hour, they decided that they had finally had enough. Yuki and Kyo's nonstop fighting had gotten on everyone's nerves. And the fact that they were all drowning in their own sweat was also a contributing factor. Unfortunately, it wasn't over yet. Now Kyo and Haru were goin' at it. God only knows for what reason. It sounded like it was over who won even though no one was keeping score.

"Our team won god damn it!" Kyo screeched.

"Bullshit our team won you pansy! There's no denyin' it!" Haru yelled back before delivering a punch to Kyo's face.

"His black side." Yuki groaned under his breath. Megan had a question mark floating above her head.

"Whadya mean?" KT asked Yuki.

"Never mind."

"Haru please calm down. It's not that big of a deal." Tohru said.

"Hey! Who won?" Haru asked, grabbing the nearest person. Which happened to be Megan.

"What?" Megan yelped.

"Do you need further convincing?" Haru asked pulling Megan into a hug.

"Noooooo!" Megan cried. KT stared in shock.

"Oh no not here!" KT screamed in her mind.

"Ah!" Tohru yelled. The only ones who felt left out were Hana and Uo. And since they were feeling left out, and being that they thought the Sohmas were acting kinda freaky today, they left.

Nothin was happening. Both Haru and Megan stood in shock.

"What?" Yuki asked quietly. Megan didn't change even though she should have. Likewise, Haru should have changed also, but of course, Megan and KT didn't know that. Haru let go of Megan like she was on fire. They stared at each other wide eyed. Megan slowly began to wander over to KT and pulled her aside. Haru and the others, formed their own little group. Anyways, back with KT and Megan.

"Why didn't I change!" Megan whispered feverishly.

"I don't know." KT answered stealing a glance at the other group.

"Why didn't you transform?" Tohru asked Haru. Haru shrugged.

"He's back to his white self." Kyo said angrily rubbing his cheek from where Haru punched him.

"Are they part of the zodiac?" Tohru asked Yuki.

"They shouldn't be. If there is more than one of the same animal, the whole zodiac would be thrown out of whack." Yuki explained. They all stole a glance at the strange group of two.

"This is really weird." Megan said adding in some shifty eyes for dramatic affect.

"You're tellin' me. Maybe they are part of the zodiac." KT suggested.

"That's possible. I've never met any of the other zodiac except you, Tony, and of course my brother. Or…maybe I'm cured!" Megan said.

"That too." KT said.

"I'm gonna go with the I'm-cured idea. Maybe that means that you're cured too!" Megan exclaimed. KT brightened at the thought. They then both looked at each other for a minute and then broke into their own happy dances.

"What should we do?" Tohru asked.

"Well, she seemed almost as shocked as Haru did. Maybe she knows something." Yuki reasoned.

"She was probably just surprised because Haru can't stop himself from being a pervert when he goes black." Kyo said. Haru got a -.- look on his face.

"Maybe Shigure-san would know." Tohru tried.

"Maybe…he does have a bad habit of keeping important information secret." Yuki replied.

"Maybe we could invite them to dinner and get to the bottom of this." Tohru suggested.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Kyo questioned.

"For once, the stupid cat has a good point. If they don't know anything and we tell them about us, I would prefer not to send them off to Hatori." Yuki said.

"Well whatever we do, we better do it fast." Haru explained crossing his arms over his chest.

"Maybe the best solution right now is to not to do anything." Yuki said. They talked about it some more and agreed to ask Shigure it. They then turned back to Megan and KT who were dancing like idiots.

"What are you doin?" Kyo asked. Both girls stopped immediately. KT was about to say some made up excuse but Megan beat her to the punch.

"Umm…there was a bee. Yeah! A really big one! It was gross!" Megan lied through her teeth. Tohru seemed to buy it but Haru, Kyo, and Yuki were not that dumb.

"Ok well…we should probably go. Places to go, people to see." KT said starting to walk off "bye you guys!" Megan lingered behind.

"Well it was nice meeting you. Thanks for letting us play with you. We had a lot-!"

"Megan come on!" KT yelled.

"Right! Well see you guys later." Megan said waving and running to catch up with KT.

"You ok?" Megan asked once she caught up.

"Yeah its just really weird. Maybe our parents know something. We should probably call them." KT said. Megan agreed and they walked back to have a serious chat with their parents.

"Little brother!" Ayame yelled his greeting before prancing up and giving his brother a bone crushing hug.

"Get off me." Yuki said with a little pulse mark. All the while, Shigure sat calmly sipping his tea.

"Good afternoon Ayame-san." Tohru greeted.

"The princess! Gure-san, I have decided that I will share a room with Tohru-kun!" Ayame announced proudly. Tohru blushed furiously.

"Go home!" Kyo and Yuki yelled in unison. Ayame sighed dramatically and sat back down next to Shigure.

"I thought you were going to spend the day at the park. Why are you back so early?" Shigure asked.

"We actually have something we wanted to ask you." Tohru said.

"You want to ask me? You want my worldly advice!" he exclaimed. Yuki and Kyo both grew pulse marks.

"What a glorious day!" Shigure exclaimed.

"Would you pipe down so we can ask already?" Kyo yelled. Shirgure quieted but he never wiped the stupid grin off his face.

"Are there two members of the zodiac that we done know about?" Yuki started. The smile fell from Shirgure's face.

"No. Why?"

"We met these two girls in the park after Kyo almost killed one of them…" dramatic pause " and we asked them to play volleyball with us. They said yes and when the game was over, Kyo and Haru began to fight. Haru turned black and hugged one of the girls." Yuki continued.

"She saw him transform?" Shigure asked.

"that's the thing. He didn't transform." Yuki finished. There was silence as this sunk in. Ayame suddenly piped up.

"What did they look like? Did you catch their names?" he asked.

"They were both tall with brown hair. One had glasses. Their names were KT and Megan." Tohru described. Ayame was quiet (for once).

"Aya-san?" Shigure asked.

"Two girls with those names and descriptions were in my shop a couple days ago."

"Yea so?" Kyo said.

"They said they were members of the zodiac." Ayame explained. More dramatic silence. He explained the whole encounter.

"What animal could they possibly be?" It would throw the whole thing off." Shigure said. They discussed various plans of action.

"If you see them again, invite them over. We have to get to the bottom of this." Shigure said. After that was settled, Ayame resumed to being his flamboyant self and Shigure resumed to being his pestering, slacker self.
