"Kai, Kai whats wrong?" Hatori tried to reach out to my cut arm. I cried harder and turned away from him.

I was crying because it was Christmas soon, because I had no one to be with. I cried because I was alone. I was scared.

I felt Hatori take my arm and I trembled as he held it and examined my cut. Hatori sighed and got up to get a bandaid. Slowly, I stopped crying and watched him, shaking. He got the bandaid and came back, putting it on my cut. I watched silently and looked up at him. He was calm, almost amused.

"h-ha-hatori?" I whimpered.

"Yes Kai?" He looked at me. I got up and went to hug him. He stepped back. I stared at him confused. "Dont..." I blinked confused, and then sighing went back to the bed and curled up shivering. He shook his head. "okay, fine... just dont freak out to what happens."

So then I got up, and went back over, and hugged him. Nothing happened. He pulled away and looked at me.

"Hatori...whats wrong...?"

"I... I didnt change... The curse isnt broken but I didnt change..." I stared at him confused.

"What curse...?"

Hatori then explained the Chinese Zodiac to me and their curse. I shook my head.

"Im not one of you... Im not a Sohma..."

"I know you're not, but I know you are not a guy either." I blushed slightly and looked away. I went back over to my bed and curled up tired. Hatori sighed and covered me up. "Sleep now we'll figure it out later." I nodded and fell asleep, suddenly feeling connected to this man somehow.

A/N:

Thank you all for enjoying this story! To clear up about Hatori knowing her thoughts and "reading her mind", He is using her body language as a guess. I leave you all with a cliff hanger on why he didnt change and how she feels connected! Thank you all again I hope this story becomes greater then it is at the moment.
