Kami headed upstairs to check on Yuki, with a new bowl of soup. Natsuki had come down a bit ago covered in soup as a cat. She knew that Natsuki was cleaning herself up in the downstairs bathroom. She poked in and found Yuki still asleep. Tohru and Haru sat looking over him. "Hey do you guys want some food?"

"Sure." Haru said getting up calmly. "Come on Tohru. Let's go."

"But..."

"He just needs some rest." Kami smiled. "Come get some food. I'll keep an eye on him in your place. Go ahead and eat some."

"Alright." Tohru nodded and the two teens headed downstairs.

Kami looked over at Yuki and touched his forehead. "No fever, that's good." She smiled and set the bowl down on the table. "For when he wakes up." She got up and turned to walk out. She froze as she ran into a tall man with black hair. She blinked. "Oh sorry... Um... Can I help you?"

He stared at her. She tried to move past him. "Who are you?"

"Um... My name is Kami Kibaru. I am a friend and classmate of Yuki and Kyo. Who are you?"

"My name is Hatori Sohma." He said calmly. "I was called to check on Yuki."

"Oh." Kami nodded. "He's fine right now. He's just resting." She nodded. "I made him some soup. And he doesn't have a fever,so that's good. But if you still want to check on him, you can." She nodded.

Hatori watched her walk out and blinked. She... And I didn't transform? He frowned looking at Yuki. Why did Shigure not mention this girl?

Kami headed down. "Um... Hey guys... There's a guy who calls himself Hatori upstairs."

Haru, Tohru, and Natsuki looked up. "Hatori?" Tohru blinked. "He's here?"

"Yeah. Up checking on Yuki. Does he um... Know about the curse?" She glanced up the stairs.

"Of course he does." Haru said calmly, like it was obvious. "I'll go check on him." He got up and headed upstairs.

"Alright... Natsuki you okay now?"

"Yeah I'm fine..." She leaned back against the chair. "Haru's just an idiot."

Tohru blinked watching the two cousins. "So are you two going to head home now?"

"We'll wait for Shigure to at least bring our stuff back." Kami smiled. "And I want to make sure that Yuki is going to be okay."

"What is taking that idiot dog so long anyways?" Natsuki frowned. "He was only suppose to go get our stuff, then he was to come back."

"Maybe he got caught up talking with someone?" Tohru blinked.

"That idiot is probably flirting with girls too young for him." Hatori said from the door.

"Oh! Hatori!" Kami said getting up. "How's Yuki? Did he wake up?"

"Yuki is fine. Give him a few days rest and he'll be perfectly fine." Hatori nodded. "Now Haru informed me that you know of the curse."

"Yeah." Natsuki shrugged. "What of it? You know about it as well."

Hatori frowned, but before he could say anything Shigure and Kyo walked in. Both gave a small sneeze. "Oh, hey Hatori!" Shigure laughed. "Nice to see you! I see you've met Kami and Natsuki!" He laughed.

"Hmm, Shigure why exactly have you not told anyone about these girls? Especially since one isn't affected by our curse?"

"Huh?" They all blinked. Natsuki and Kami looked at each other.

"One of us, isn't affected by your curse?" Natsuki asked.

"What does that mean?" Kami asked looking at Hatori. "Are you talking about being hugged?" She paused as she remembered in the doorway to Yuki's room when she had run into him. "OH! Are you talking about that?"

Hatori nodded. "Kami and I ran into each other and I didn't transform."

"OH!" Shigure blinked. "Are you just an odd ball?" He sneezed slightly. "I guess you just are special! But to check it out we can try an experiment!"

"No way!" Natsuki frowned. "I'm not letting you freak hug my cousin. Maybe it's just Hatori's curse is gone."

"I don't think so." Hatori frowned.

"Well there is one way to check..." Haru said calmly. "Natsuki and Kami both hug multiple guys. And if none of us transform, then we know they they are immune."

"...I'll check first." Natsuki frowned. She hugged Kyo suddenly and watched him poof. "Nope, he transformed."

"Try another guy." Hatori said calmly.

Natsuki frowned. "Why?"
"Hug me! Hug me!" Shigure smiled.

"No way." Natsuki frowned, and decided to hug Haru instead. She blinked as he didn't transform. She flushed and quickly moved away.

"Huh... I think it only works part of the time... I know that Haru transformed earlier... So maybe it's a fifty-fifty chance of transforming. Because we are cursed as well."

Hatori paused. "What?"

Kami shifted. "Well... Natsuki's and my family is cursed... Whenever we experience a certain emotion too strongly we transform."

"Kami don't say too much to this strange guy!"

"He's part of the zodiac curse though, so it's only fair we let him know what we let the others know." Kami said calmly. "I'm sorry Hatori but we won't say any more than that about our curse." She said seeing his curious look.

He paused for a moment and nodded. "I take it you haven't told Akito about this." Hatori looked over at Shigure, but found that he had transformed into his dog form and was laying on the ground weakly.

Kyo was in the same condition. "Are you two okay?" Kami asked leaning down and looking at the two animals.

"They both have caught a cold." Hatori sighed. "Haru will you go get two beds for them?" He shook his head. "The idiots, what were you doing?"

Shigure coughed. "We were playing cards." He laughed slightly. "I won a hand!"

"Who the heck told them to play cards out in the cold? It's flu season too." Haru sighed after they had the two sick animals in beds.

Hatori sighed. Everyone in this family seems to want to work me to death. He paused as he glanced over and spotted Kami bringing in more bowls of soup. "Soup?"

"I made it for Yuki since he was sick, but it might help Shigure and Kyo feel better as well." She smiled. "You can have some too, it's not just for sick people."

Hatori nodded. "Thank you for helping take care of my family members."

"Oh it's no problem." She smiled. "They are my friends, and Kyo and Yuki are my classmates so it's only natural that I wish to see them get better."

Hatori stared at her in confusion. "You are their classmates?"

Kami flushed slightly. "Oh... Uh, yeah... I got held back a few times... When my curse took effect I couldn't go to school." She looked down.

"Hmm." He nodded slightly and looked over as Natsuki yelled at Haru for something he had said.

"We should probably be getting home. It is getting late." She looked over. "Natsuki come on." She grabbed her bag, that Shigure had brought back. "We have to hurry."

"Alright." Natsuki grumbled. "Anything to get away from this idiot."

"Hey." Haru grunted.

Kami smiled. "It was nice meeting you Hatori Sohma." She nodded to him and then turned to leave with Natsuki.

Hatori watched them leave and frowned. I understand why Shigure didn't tell Akito. He would be upset to learn there is another family cursed, and they know about our curse. He looked over at the sick Sohmas. I will follow that idea and not tell Akito either.
