Hello!

I love you guys! I was rereading through all the reviews you guys give me

and I love how much support and all the ideas you give me. Thanks!

I apologise for the incredibly late update, I haven't had any ideas at all...

Sorry, but I won't be revealing the chicken just yet!

?'s POV

Lucy and Gray left the guild a while back... I could see the attachment Gray had to her... but I could also see that Natsu had grown quite attached to her over the years too... along with Yuki... and the other two, the twin dragons... Sting and Rogue... You have become a fine young lady Lucy Sohma... Now who will you choose? It would seem it comes down to how you feel about them... or will your feelings waver for another not known to us yet? I'm looking forward to the development in your interesting life... maybe I should interfere somewhere along the lines... I should soon make myself known... Akito... What would you say to me... if you found that I was here with Lucy the whole time... and you didn't even realise it... so close... yet unknown...

Gray's POV

I wrapped my arms around Luce's waist to prevent her from falling into the river, but as I did... I felt her disappear and be replaced by something else. I couldn't see anything as there was a gold fog that blocked my sight of anything. I slowly released my grip from the unknown object and waved my arms to get rid of the fog. As my vision cleared I saw a beautiful horse standing in the place of Luce. I looked at the horse and it seemed to stare right back at me... It had large, sparkly brown eyes... "Gray... I'm so sorry..." I looked around in confusion as I heard Luce's voice, I couldn't see her anywhere, "Gray... I'm the horse..." I looked back to the horse standing before me... Is this the zodiac curse? I took a deep breath, "Luce?" I asked quietly, the horse nodded in reply. I smiled at her and gave her neck a hug, "It's okay... I'm sorry I had to find out like this." I whispered into her ear, "Thanks Gray." She whispered back. Even as a horse she was beautiful...

"Just one thing... Try not to hug me again, the curse reacts to someone of the opposite sex hugging me... and the rest of the Sohma's are cursed too..." she said, "and..." POOF! I took one look for her and blood flew out of my nose, "When we change back... we're naked..." She quickly changed into her clothes and faced me, "Sorry Gray..." I laughed, "It's okay... It's not like it was your choice to be cursed..." She nodded and smiled. It must be so hard to have to handle such a curse, no hugging boys or having contact like that... But she hugged all the Sohma's didn't she? "Luce? How come you could hug the Sohma's then?" I asked as we continued the walk to her house, "Well... I can hug a male who also has the curse, but I can't hug any Sohma who doesn't... It's just a curse thing I guess." I nodded. I want to protect her from all the people out there... all the boys out there...

Lucy's POV

I walked silently next to Gray back to my apartment. When he caught me before I fell into the water my body changed from being held by him, I got so worried that he found out about my secret... Nobody had found out about the family curse since Tohru... At least I don't have to worry about Akito-nii-chan being strict on him, he hasn't been like that for a while now. It was only a matter of if we could trust Gray to keep it a secret, otherwise we'd have to erase his memories... and I don't want to do that to him... Though I'm amazed Gray's reaction to my curse was so calm... I'm glad... He accepted me even though he found out about my curse... about the curse of being born a Sohma... I'm so happy...

Akito's POV

I felt an interesting sensation flow through my body. It means that another had learnt of the curse... Nobody knew that I would know when someone discovered out secret. I hadn't told anyone that I had the ability to feel when someone found out. I closed my eyes and focused on the 12 animals of the zodiac, along with Kyo. As I did, I felt another connection return that I hadn't felt in a long time... Whenever I sent a signal out to the 12 animals, plus Kyo, never once had the chicken answered... I would only contact them like this when I wanted to speak with them... We would always meet and talk in the Sohma estate, the reason I contacted them today was to give the person an opportunity to tell us that another has found out the family curse... and I had sent my electric waves to the animals of the zodiac and they had all answered... Including the lost chicken...

I had never talked to the Sohma's about the chicken... In fact... Shigure, Ayame, Hatori and I had agreed to never speak of him again. It was his own decision to leave Sohma house... and I let him... I would never had let him leave, but he wanted to find his father and his grandfather. His father had abandoned him when he was a newborn, leaving his mother to care for him... Until she died when he was only six, during the birth of his younger brother Momiji... When Momiji was born, his mother had remarried to another man... this man cared for Momiji, but his mother hadn't told him that she had another son... and when his mother held Momiji for the first time... he turn into a rabbit... his mother was discouraged to have another child curse by the zodiacs... forcing her into depression, leaving Hatori to erase the memories of him and his brother...

He left Sohma house when he turned six, claiming that the would find his real father and gain love... but instead something happened and he stopped replying to my signals altogether... Only Hatori, Ayame, Shigure and I were old enough to remember the chicken... The other Sohma's knew there was a chicken... but have never asked about him...

Laxus Dreyer... Why have you suddenly decided to reply?


Yay! You now know who the chicken is!

I was lying when I said you wouldn't find out... I wanted it to be a surprise!

I seriously need ideas to flow in! I have a vague idea of what's gonna happen, but

I need some fillers, like things they could say while on the mission.

Thanks! Over and out!
