'thinking'
{authors note}
"Well...Its kind of a long story...Have you ever heard of the twelve zodiac tale?"
"Oh yes! I love that story!"
"Well me and my family, are cursed with the zodiacs. When we hug someone of the opposite gender, with the exception of other zodiacs, we turn in to one of the 12 Chinese zodiacs, plus the cat. Kyo, who is the cat of the zodiac, also has another piece of his curse to handle."
"Another...Piece?"
"Whenever he doesnt wear a special bracelet, he turns into a monster. And i mean that literally. He transforms back after about a hour, at the very most. But once he transforms back if he doesnt put the bracelet back on soon he transforms into a monster again."
"Well why doesnt he just keep the bracelet on?"
"Well...He lost it a long time ago..."
"Oh..."
"Hey umm Kagura...I have another Kyo was part of the royal family, why would he be taken all the way here? I mean the castle is hundreds and hundreds of miles away from here."
"Well...I think they just wanted him to be as far away as possible. After all, if anyone in the town near the castle found him...Who knows what would happen? And anyways, we have a deal with this town. We give the a few thousand dollars for every week or so he is here. And i guess since it was kinda away from your town anyways they agreed.."
"So if I find the bracelet then he will stop turning into a monster as long as he wears it?"
"Yes..Well...I have been looking for that bracelet since he lost its been about a year. I feel real bad for Kyo, i heard the cats transformation is very painful. You can look for it..But i doubt you will find it.."
"Do you know where it might be?"
"Well..The place he lost it was is the castle town village. A thief stole the bracelet swiftly and then ran off..The only problem is, Kyo is the only one who know what he looks like...So if you wanted to find it you would have to bring him with you. But i know a way to keep him from transforming into a monster." Kagura pulled out a necklace, which was a long black piece of thread with a orange jewel attached to a small piece of silver. "This is the necklace version of the bracelet. If you get him to wear this, then you can have him help you find the bracelet."
"But...If there is a necklace, then why would you need the bracelet?"
"Well, for one thing, Kyo doesnt like things around his neck, so its bound to make him miserable. And also, its impossible for the curse to break if he isnt wearing the bracelet. Not to mention if he wears the necklace for to long without giving it a break, he will die. But still that takes weeks. And anyways, there are obvous signs of him wearing it for too long, like sudden loss of appetite, and i dont mean just not hungry i mean days of not eating. Also sudden weakness and pain."
"Whu? How does the necklace work?"
"It eats away your soul."
"WHA?"
"You see a curse has benefits, it wraps around your soul like a cloth, so if someone or something is eating your soul away, they have to cut a hole in the cloth first, making it take more time. The problem is that no matter what the curse wont fully break, and any damage done to the curse will just heal back after the someone or something stops eating at your soul, because curses can only be cured for a certain reason. And that reason is usually unknown. Every curse can break somehow, but sometimes you need a item (such as the bracelet) to make sure nothing interferes with the cure. Do you understand?"
"I...think so.."
"Great! Come back here around the same time seven days from now, by then i should have a plan."
"Okay..."
Tohru headed back home. She was a little tired and couldnt wait to go to bed. She was worn out from all the running, and she new she would still have a little bit of work left to do. As she opened the door to her home she snuck carefully towards the stairs, praying that no one noticed she was gone for so long. But as she took her first step up the stairs she herd her moms voice
"Tohru? Come here for a moment please." Kyoko said kindly
Tohru took a breath and walked towards the dining room table were her mom was sitting.
"May i ask were you went? I have been looking for you. I was starting to get worried you know."
"Oh, sorry mom, i just went for a long walk and lost track of time. I will be more careful next time. Sorry!"
Kyoko smiled and hugged her daughter tightly. "Thats okay! I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
