"Why are we going to the Sohma house again?" Natsuki asked as her, Kami, Miyako and Aki walked together.
"Because I want to make sure they are all alright. Plus I wanted to bring back over another batch of soup." Kami smiled as she carried a pot of soup.
"Poor Yuki." Aki said. "But I'm sure he'll get better after having some of your soup Kam." She laughed. "I know I always do."
Kami smiled and laughed. "It's more of Shigure and Kyo I'm worried about. They were idiots and sat outside playing cards in the cold. It's no wonder they caught a cold!"
"Poor Kyo, but I do agree. That was a bit idiotic to catch a cold that way."
They all laughed, and none of them noticed the brown flash that was following them. It dashed from bush to bush, then to behind a poll, and then back to bushes. They were in front of the house when Natsuki finally noticed something. "Uh.. Hey guys." She whispered.
"Huh?" Aki asked.
"Anyone else notice that?"
"Notice what?" Miyako asked looking back. She froze. "Oh no!"
"What is it?" Kami asked. She glanced back and sighed. "Oh."
"WHAT?!" Aki asked. "Everyone is in on this but me! What is going on?!" She turned, but didn't see anything. "What is going on?!"
"Black and fuzzy... Hard to miss." Natsuki sighed.
"Way too energetic." Kami nodded.
"And loves sweets." Miyako sighed.
Aki paused. "Oh, Yin is following us?"
The other three nodded. "Yin! Come out." Kami called. They watched as a little black otter shot out at them and smiled. "Geez Yin, what are you doing here? And like that?"
"Shouta gave me a cookie!" She jumped up and down, happily.
"So it's that idiots fault." Natsuki growled.
"That's really cruel." Shouta frowned as he walked up right behind Natsuki. "What did I ever do to get that much venom when saying my name?"
Natsuki turned and glared. "You..." She punched him angrily. "You stole my lunch this morning! I was starving!"
Shouta blinked and then laughed. "Oh yeah... That's actually where the cookie came from." He watched as Yin scrambled over him. "Sorry Yin, no more on me."
"Aw!" The otter turned into an 18 year old girl with long black hair and black eyes. "But I wanted another one."
"What are you two doing anyways?" Natsuki growled. "Why are you following us?!"
"Because you looked like you were up to something and I wanted to find out what." Yin said, no long hyper. She seemed more relaxed and mellow. "So I followed to see where you were going."
"And I followed Yin so she didn't get into trouble." Shouta said calmly.
Kami sighed. "We are just going to give some soup to some friends of ours who are sick."
"Those Sohma guys?" Shouta asked. "The ones that are also cursed?"
"There's another curse?" Yin blinked. "What kind of curse is it? Do they change genders or something whenever they see a certain color?"
"No." Kami sighed. "Come on. You can meet them, but please stay calm and don't transform again. We don't want Yukio to lock you up in the main house again."
"Nah." Yin shrugged disrespectful. "I don't really care if Yukio finds out that I'm causing trouble."
Kami sighed. "That's why I'm worried. And listen, Yukio doesn't know about this family so you have to remain silent and not let him know about them. They know about our curse too, so even more reason not to tell Yukio, alright?"
"Not telling Yukio something, sounds fun." Yin smirked.
Kami sighed, and the group of cousins walked up to the house. "Hi Tohru." She smiled as the teenage girl opened the door. "How are they guys?"
"Uh... They are all fine... What are you guys doing here?" She looked at Yin confused.
"We came to check on the guys. Oh and this is my cousin Yin, she followed us. Shouta followed her." Kami sighed.
"Oh.. Okay, come on in." She watched the small group walk in. Kami headed for the kitchen, while the others made themselves at home.
"Hey Tohru, who was-?" Haru blinked as he spotted the crowd. "Who are yo-?" He paused seeing Natsuki. "Oh. These more of your family?"
"Yeah." Natsuki shruged calmly.
"Who's this?" Shouta frowned.
"This is Haru Sohma." Natsuki shrugged. "Kami and I only just met him the other day. He's also part of their curse."
"So is Yuki still in his room?" Aki asked. "Is he feeling any better?"
"Yeah." Haru said calmly. "But he's still asleep right now. And I wouldn't wake him up... He's not a big morning person."
"What about Kyo, and Shigure?" Miyako asked looking over at the stairs. "Are they feeling any better?"
"Yeah, Sensei is is old self, but had to run an errand. Kyo is off sulking somewhere because he still has the sniffles." Haru said calmly looking over at Natsuki. "I'm hungry."
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME FOR?!" Natsuki growled puffing up angrily.
Haru blinked, but before he could say anything Shouta grabbed Natsuki and pulled her close. "MINE! You stay away from my Natsuki! I don't care what you have to say, she's only mine!"
Haru blinked. "I was only stating a fact. I wasn't asking her directly... But that would be nice." He just ignored Shouta's challenge.
Tohru laughed. "That's white Haru for you."
"White?" Aki blinked. "What do you mean by that?"
"Oh, it's just Haru has a split personality." Tohru said calmly.
"Oh?!" Yin asked intrigued. "What are the two sides?"
"White and Black." Natsuki said looking over. "Right now he's white. His black side is entertaining." She laughed. "You should have seen him fighting Kyo the other day. I couldn't stop laughing."
Miyako looked a little shocked. Shouta just looked annoyed. "I bet I could beat either of them."
"Oh shut up Shouta, and get your hands off of me." She pushed him away.
"Oh come on!" He whined like a child. "You don't have to be so mean!" He gave her puppy eyes, begging for her to forgive him.
She ignored him and went to sit down. "Kami can we leave?! It's boring here."
Kami walked out. "I guess so. I was just dropping off some soup... We can go now I guess. Tell the other guys that I hope they get better."
"Alright." Tohru nodded. They were interrupted from leaving when Yuki walked down.
"Oh." He looked them all over. "What are you doing here?" He asked looking at them all over. "I see there is a new one?" He looked at Yin.
"Oh hi Yuki. This is our cousin Yin. Yin this is Yuki Sohma." Miyako introduced.
"Hello." He nodded and looked at the whole group of them. "So why are you all here?"
"We came to bring some more soup." Kami smiled. "I thought it might help you guys feel better. The others tagged along." She smiled. "Our family is pretty close because of the curse."
Yuki nodded. "Well the soup did help. Thanks for that." He smiled. "It's nice to see you guys again." He nodded to Miyako and Aki.
"Hi." Miyako flushed slightly.
Yuki nodded and headed into the kitchen. "I'll see you at school later."
"Alright." Kami smiled. "Bye Yuki. Alright guys let's go."
"Good." Shouta smiled and warped an arm around Natsuki again. "I don't want mister black and white to be near my Natsuki."
Haru frowned, starting to look annoyed.
"Uh oh." Tohru froze.
Haru's face darkened. "What?! You think you can stop me from being anywhere near any person of my choice?!" He jumped up angrily.
Shouta laughed. "I'm not scared of some little brat."
"Shouta." Kami sighed, but before she could do anything, Haru swung his fist and hit Shouta in the face.
Shouta's face darkened and he suddenly transformed into a black wolf. He growled at Haru and bit down on Haru's arm. Haru didn't seem to care and threw him off, right out the door. He followed angrily.
"Oh great." Both Tohru and Kami sighed. They all followed them out. The two were fighting as much as they could. Shouta as a wolf and Haru as 'black Haru.'
"Wow, I'm gone for a bit and Haru is already causing trouble." Shigure said walking up.
"Oh, hey Shigure." Kami nodded. "You're back."
"Yeah... What are you guys doing here?" Shigure asked and then noticed Yin. "I see you brought a new friend. Hello." He gave her a smile.
"...You're an idiot." Yin said coldly.
Shigure blinked shocked. "Wow... You're cold."
Shouta looked over and started laughing as he transformed back. He dodged Haru's attack. "You just meet the real Yin. Don't be too cold Yin."
"Can I have a cookie then!?" She transformed into an otter again and jumped up and down.
Haru growled. "HEY! Wolf boy! Get back here! Continue our fight!" Haru growled.
"Naw!" Shouta said, calm again.
Kami sighed. "Thank goodness. Now come on you guys. Let's head home. Shouta you get to carry Yin since it's your fault she's transformed again."
"Fine." Shouta shrugged. "Hey Tohru, do you have any cookies?" He looked over at Tohru.
"Yeah, I'll go grab some." Tohru rushed inside.
Haru frowned, but Natsuki hit him on the head. "Calm down you idiot!" She blinked as she realized that she had slammed him into the ground. "Ops. Sorry." She laughed.
"Aw, Natsuki." Kami sighed.
"...Huh?" Haru blinked sitting up.
"Come on." Kami sighed and grabbed Natsuki's arm. "Let's go."
"Alright." She laughed. "The rest of you coming?"
"Yeah." Aki nodded. "You coming Miyako?"
"Yeah." She glanced around slightly. "Let's go. Shouta and Yin can catch up later." She started to walk off. Aki followed.
"Well bye." Kami waved at Shigure and the others.
As she walked, she smiled. Life has become so nice. Even if Yukio is still waiting as home. She laughed to herself. "Come on you guys. Let's get home so I can make us some lunch."
"Sounds good." Miyako laughed.
Kami patted the girls head. "Let's have a picnic sometime soon."
"Yeah!" Aki smiled. "And we can invite the Sohmas!"
Kami nodded. Yeah... Those guys have become a true part of our lives.
