____________________________________________________________
The bell rang to signal the end of yet another tiring school day, the doors burst open and swung as wide as they could to let loose the bunch of teenagers for the weekend, oh lord have mercy on our souls. Amongst the crowd a shrill yell happened to catch the attention of a few people.
"You stupid cat! Why don't you watch where you're going next time!!?" Shouted a gentle, yet clearly annoyed male voice. As we look through the crowded yard we happen to see a clearly distraught Tohru and a couple of bundles of clothes which happened to be moving as she ran clearly panicked.
"Well it wasn't MY fault!! That girl clearly ran into me! So get ya facts right ya damn rat!!!" Shouted another male voice from within the pile of clothes?
"Well she wouldn't have ran into you if you had not 'accidentally' kicked her when you went on one of your rants yet again of how you will beat me and then finally be aloud to be apart of the zodiac!" yelled back the first voice from within the bundle of clothes.
"Please be quiet we are getting a lot of weird glances you guys…" whispered Tohru to the bundle of clothes.
"Sorry Miss Honda/Tohru." the two voices apologized from within the bundle as Tohru laughed and smiled nervously as she squeezed through the many teenagers. She ran through the gates of the school and stumbled into a bushy area.
"Here we go guys, there's noone around here" panted Tohru as she put her hands on her knees and bent over as she watched the two creatures crawl their way out of the bundles of clothes.
"Thank you Miss Honda" bowed the little rat with the big purple eyes. "We really appreciate all of your help" the rat glared at the cat who was licking his paw, the cat feeling someone looking at him looked up and growled at the rat.
"What you looking at ya damn rat!" shouted the orange cat as multiple anger veins appeared on his head.
"I seem to be looking at a stinking, rotting mess of garbage, oh no wait that's you" stated Yuki quite calmly as Kyo looked as if he were about to pounce on the poor defenceless rat as many murderous thoughts passed through his head.
"Why I ougtta-"
Poof
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! I didn't see anything!!!" yelled Tohru as she turned away from the two now fully dressed boys flushing red.
"It is quite fine Miss Honda, it cannot be changed for as you know the transformations back are quite at random." stated Yuki as he finished tying his tie, although not neatly.
"Oh shut up ya damn rodent she already knows that!" yelled Kyo aiming a well aimed punch at Yuki's head. Yuki of course dodged and with a flick of his wrist he placed his index fingers to the side of Kyo's hand and simply tapped him which sent him off course and plummeting through the thick bush.
"Ahhh oh no Kyo!!" panicked Tohru as she went to go after Kyo
"I would advise you not to go that way Miss Honda if I were you, for beyond those bushes is a steep hill leading into a muddy ravine" stated Yuki calmly as he went to pick up his school bag. This did not seem to calm Tohru any as she only seemed to become even more hysterical and started ranting about calling search and rescue or the navy.
"Miss Honda I tell you not to worry, for one that ravine is only a few inches deep and two its Kyo" stated Yuki as he put a hand around Tohrus shoulders and turned her around with her bag in tow as they walked away, Tohru sweating profusely worrying about Kyo.
With Kyo
"Damn rat, thinks he's all that, im gonna beat him one day I can feel it!" muttered Kyo as he sat in the muddy ravine, water dripping from his wet bangs and down his forehead. "I will beat him…" whispered Kyo as the water droplet rolled down his nose and dripped into the ravine. Kyo snapped his head up as he heard a rustle in the bushes. "Who's there!?" He yelled as he stood up, spreading his legs into his martial arts stance. A twig snapped in the opposite direction and he swiftly turned, his short hair fanning spraying water around him in a half circle. As Kyo concentrated on the bushes he could start to make out an object within the bushes, but as soon as he started to see it clearly it disappeared. "Where are you!? Answer me!!" yelled Kyo into the bushes as he turned around.
"Well there's no need to get so worked up about It." stated an unknown voice from behind Kyo. He gasped and swiftly turned around to face the intruder, but what he saw was not quite what he expected.
"W-What the Hell is this!!!!!" screamed Kyo as he looked upon the creature,
"What do you mean by 'this' as you can see I am clearly a fox there is nothing strange about it for foxes are common around these parts-" stated the Fox
"But you're talking!! Oh man I think I must have knocked my head when I came down that hill, I'll kill that damn rat" muttered Kyo. The fox just sat there, its golden eyes staring blankly at the boy.
"It can't be all that strange to you can it, for I believe that a similar thing happens to yourself when you are hugged by a member of the opposite sex." stated the fox. Kyo looked at the fox in pure shock which then turned into annoyance.
"What? How the hell do you know about the curse!? Who sent you?! Was it akito?! Did he send you to spy on me?!! I'll kill the bastard!!!" yelled Kyo as you could see steam practically coming out off of his head.
"No Akito did not send me, I came to you of my own accord." spoke the fox its tail swished about behind it as it lay down.
"What do you want with me?! I don't even know you, I mean ive never even heard of any ordinary talking foxes-" ranted Kyo.
"I know it's not normal you fool!" said the fox as it lay staring at Kyo. Kyo looked at the fox.
"But if it isn't normal how come you're here and talking to me?" he asked. The fox just stared at him.
"In good time Kyo, in good time." The fox replied licking its paw. Kyo was starting to get aggravated.
"Damn it just answer me.! Yelled Kyo.
"I am answering you." stated the fox calmly. Kyo fumed.
"But not properly!!" he replied. The fox looked at him.
"Yes I am, see I just answered you then, and then and then and th-." the fox was cut off by Kyo.
"I know your answering me but you're not giving me straight answers!" he yelled.
"Of course I am, im not exactly going to give you gay answers am I" replied the fox.
Kyo just looked at the fox calmly.
"That's it I give up, your not real, you can't be." said Kyo as he turned around.
"Fine then believe what you want." said the fox licking it paw still. Kyo twitched and turned back around to face the fox.
"Alright stop playing with me!" he yelled.
"Im not playing with you, do I look like the playing type?" replied the fox calmly. Steam was rolling out of Kyo's ears.
"You have got to be a figure of my imagination!" muttered Kyo. The fox shrugged.
"Like I said before, you can think what you want, but if you don't believe im not real, then that means you don't think yourself as real." replied the fox. That was the last straw for Kyo. He lunged for the fox to try and grab its neck but the fox being as fast and nimble as it was easily dodged out of its way.
"Tut, Tut, I thought you were into all of that martial arts stuff Kyo, doesn't that mean that you're supposed to calm your inner chakras or should I say in this case 'Catra'" stated the fox slyly. Kyo twitched violently from his place on the floor.
"Why are you here?" he questioned looking at the fox that was stood 2 metres away from him.
"I wanted to meet the other zodiac members." replied the fox as it stared at Kyo.
Kyo looked confused.
"Wait does that mean that you're a part of the zodiac? But how can that be possible?" asked Kyo. The fox shrugged.
"That I cannot tell you but I will tell you my real reason for why I came to you today." said the fox. Kyo looked mildly interested now.
"I came to warn you about a great danger." stated the fox Kyo just continued to stare at the fox.
"Im listening." replied Kyo. The fox nodded. An organization has recently started up, they are collecting rare, ancient objects and beings." said the fox. Kyo looked slightly confused, he was about to interrupt but the fox silenced him with the movement of his paw.
"Let me finish! This also means that they will come after the members of the zodiac." stated the fox. Kyo's eyes widened in shock.
"You must warn the other members of the danger, as for me I shall appear to you all once again when the time comes." Kyo nodded.
"But, what about you, are you being chased, are you also cursed?" questioned Kyo. The fox looked at him sadly and gave a slight nod.
"Yes, I have been since I was but a baby, I was abandoned by my father, he left me with my mother but a few years after my birth she was murdered by a group of people who came to get me, she managed to get me away before that time and ever since I have been moving from family to family, but sadly each one perished within a few months of my arrival so I am now living alone and I prefer it that way." answered the fox. Kyo looked shocked.
"So you are also human?" questioned Kyo. Th fox ignored him and turned to walk away.
"Just remember Kyo, even the cursed can have a curse placed upon them." Kyo sat in puzzlement for a long while before an anger mark appeared.
"What do you mean!? Hey don't just walk away from me!" but the fox had already disappeared. He sat on the floor for a while before he yelled.
"Damn it!!! What is with people these days speaking in riddles!!!?" With that Kyo stormed away, probably to go find Yuki.
"I'll kill that damn rat!!" Yep typical.
With the Fox
The fox made its way through the forest after its encounter with the hot headed Kyo. It came upon a large oak where a pile of clothes were situated at the bottom in a plastic bag. As the fox reached the bag a poof resounded through the area, the red coloured smoke blocked any vision for a time as the sound of clothes ruffling could be heard, as the smoke cleared a figure could be seen sitting on a rather large root of the oak tree, their black hair hung over their shoulders as they tied their laces on their trainers. Their thin, nimble fingers worked quickly on the laces crossing them, looping and then finally tying it in a knot, the figure sighed as they stood up stretching; a few joints could be heard popping.
"Ahhh man my poor back" whined the figure as they rubbed the tender area on their back. The figure looked up as a beam of light shone down through the trees leaves and lit up the clearing, the figure wore a pair of black baggy jeans with a few chains hanging off of them, their top was a white long sleeve cotton shirt, covered by a tight fitting dark blue hoodie with no sleeves. There black hair went down to their bum and was tipped with red, they had a side fringe in which was cut so it went to just below their right eye so all you could see was their left eye in which was a Dark green but from a distance could be mistaken for black. She looked towards her left and then her right and stepped forward, taking slow cautious steps. She slowly made her way towards the brush line from where a number of cars could be heard passing by.
'Almost there' they thought as she was just within a metre of getting out of the forest.
"Amaya-Samaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" yelled a childlike voice. Amaya stopped suddenly with wide eyes when suddenly she was attacked from behind and went tumbling through the bush line and onto a pavement lying on her back, she felt pressure on her stomach and so opened her eyes gradually, lying on her stomach was a small, baby fox cub, its eyes big and wide but already sharpening into the usual sharp and cunning eyes of the fox.
"Amaya-Sama where have you been? Everyone's been worried, you haven't come to visit us in such a long time and ive had none to play with, Hira is always picking on me and calling me the runt of the litter and-!" the cubs rambling were cut off when Amaya wrapped her hand around the cubs muzzle and picked him up by the scruff of his neck. The cub gave a little yelp as Amaya stuck her head through the trees and dropped the cub on the ground with a thud.
"Shut up and go home, I'll come by some time soon so hang tight until then ok?" told the little cub.
"Sure, sure Amaya-Sama, but don't forget" said the cub as it gave a little wave with his paw and turned, his small tail swishing proudly, as his little legs ran, in a matter of seconds he had disappeared. Amaya watched him until he went and shook her head with a small smile as she turned and walked out onto the street. As she walked sown the street her hands in her pockets she looked towards three teenagers arguing but were also noticeably happy, a man was to there right wearing a casual yukata and smiling goofily for a 20 year old man. Amaya looked upon them with sadness and maybe even a bit of regret.
"Will I ever be like them Kaa-san, like the other zodiac members who all have someone, although I said all those things before to Kyo I knew they were not true, they were only the truth about myself, but will I ever find someone to care about me." Amaya shook her head. "What am I saying, that will never happen" and with that she turned and walked down the street disappearing into an alleyway, welling in thoughts of loneliness and despair.
