Chapter 1~Another Cursed One?

Hope was walking to her secondary club, The Ouran Host club. (The first was the Zuka club.)

She walked past the gate that marked Ouran's entrance. She saw five people standing there.

They looked very familiar…

"Shigure!" Hope cried out softly, "Kyo, Yuki, Kagura. What are you all doing here?"

Shigure smiled at her. "We came because these four are students."

Hope looked confused. "Four? But only three zodiac members are here. Not including you Shigure."

"Well…There is Miss Tohru Honda right here." Shigure pointed out.

"Oh! Hello there! Since you're with these four, I'm guessing you know the curse?" Hope politely asked.

"Hmm! Yes I do. Are you a Sohma?" Torhu replied.

"Yep! I'm the fox." Hope stated in the quiet voice she used, "See? I can hug Kyo, Yuki and Shigure." To make her point, she hugged them all.

Tohru eyes were wide. "You're just like Kagura!" She exclaimed.

Hope and Kagura shook their heads.

"She is far from being me. One; she doesn't like Kyo the same way!" Kagura said.

"Yep. I don't like Kyo that way. Two I can only change when stressed. I can also change at-will unlike my fellow zodiac members. In more ways than one, I'm more like Kyo then Yuki. Oh! I can't attend the banquet. That is, by myself. Oh…I also have…" Hope stopped uncertain. She walked up to Kyo and whispered in his ear.

Kyo nodded at whatever she was saying.

"Okay! I can tell you one more thing. Since you've seen his already. I, like Kyo have a third form. Unlike Kyo, mine is okayish. Right Shigure?" Hope told her quickly.

Shigure nodded. "Yes. It's true! Little Hope here's third form is cute. Now Torhu when you go back on winter break you MUST keep Hope's location secret."

Tohru looked at him confused. "Why?"

"I'm in hiding right now." Hope said really quietly.

"Oh." Was all Torhu said. Suddenly the clock tower rang.

"Dang it. Late again." Hope sighed, "Kyoya is going to have my head."

She turned to the small Sohma family group.

"Wait! Can you escort them? Please! I'm in a hurry…I have a…doctor appointment! That's it. A doctor appointment. Please?" Shigure plead.

Hope looked at him in doubt. Shigure cheered. "Thank you sooo much Hope! I owe you…again."

Hope smiled softly at him.

"I keep telling you, all I want is for you to keep my location secret." She shivered, "I'm sorry but I can't return. Akito…Akito would kill me. Stupid rule. Not my fault."

Shigure turned to Tohru. "There's a rule in the zodiac that there can only be one fully cursed person. The cat and the fox are equally cursed and hated. So do you see why we need to keep this secret?"

Torhu nodded.

"If you want me to escort them, we'll leave now. They can come with me to Host club." Hope pointed out.
