Hatori had the look on his face that could freeze beer. "Akira Sohma what are you doing out of bed? Your ankle and head have not had the proper time to heal."
Everyone stared at Hatori. He was not one to loose his temper.
"I just wanted some breakfast too. Momiji came in, woke me up, and told me breakfast was ready. Haru was standing at the door. Momiji suggested that I have breakfast in bed, but Haru would not have it." Akira told him honestly.
"And why would you not have it Hatsaharu?" Hatori said without looking away from Akira.
"She just met us, all she knows is our names. She might as well get to know us." Haru said without any emotion.
"Oh Hari, don't be so harsh on the kids." Shigure said trying to break the bleak atmosphere.
"Akira does your ankle hurt?" Hatori said calmly.
"Kinda, it hurt yesterday, I think I can walk off the little pain now." She said looking down; she wasn't one to let pain get in the way of her life.
"I was wandering why didn't I transform when I hit my head?" Akira asked with genuine curiosity. She did not see Tohru in the chair next to Yuki.
"Oh you are a member of the zodiac too? Which animal are you then?" Tohru asked standing not 6 inches from her. Akira, who is the exact same height as Kyo, jumped back. She was so startled to see Tohru that when she fell she accidentally knocked Tohru off her feet. While landing Momiji and Yuki tried to catch Tohru, and Haru caught Akira. Poof. Poof. When Tohru finally landed she looked down to see a rabbit and a mouse scampering out from under her.
"Sorry, Miss." Akira said helping Tohru up, "I was just so startled to see a female in the mist of transforming men. I didn't see you, otherwise I wouldn't have said what I did."
"It's okay. I've known about the curse for a while. I just want to know which animal you are." Tohru smiled.
"Aww, Tohru sat on me." Momiji whined trying to get some attention. With hearing this Tohru quickly turned around. The rat was rubbing his head and the rabbit was whining.
"I'm sorry Momiji. Sorry Yuki-kun." Tohru said quickly.
"I suppose you were just caught up in the moment." Yuki said politely.
"To interrupt would be rude but before she forgets the question…" Hatori sighed… "We believe since you weren't weak you didn't transform other than that I don't have an explanation."
"Thanks anyway" Akira said politely.
"Oh please tell me what your animal is." Tohru pleaded with her hands tightly pressed together.
"I'd rather it be a surprise." Akira said softly, "Before you ask mine does not belong in the zodiac, but rather represents what the cursed are."
Tohru's face slid into a confused look.
"You'll understand when the time comes." Akira said nicely. Poof. Poof. Akira instantly covered Tohru's eyes and turned to face the wall.
"Nice save Akira." Yuki said fully clothed. Momiji on the other hand was having trouble getting his shirt back on. Yuki tied the back for Momiji. As soon as his clothes were completely on he hopped around the room.
"I'm hungry. Can we eat yet?" He continued to whine.
