Kami paced anxiously. Hatori had left a few hours ago to talk to Akito, she was worried about him. If Akito was anything like Yukio…. "Oh Hatori." Kami whispered. At that moment she heard the door open. Kami had to restrain herself from running out in case it was someone else.

"Kami." It was Hatori's voice.

Kami hurried out and found Hatori setting his jacket coat on a chair. She flung herself into his arms. "Hatori!" He wrapped her in his arms tightly.

"I'm okay." He whispered.

"Akito?"

"Upset but calmed down." Hatori had her sit down, while still keeping his arms around her. "It seems that mine wasn't the only cures broken."

"What?" Kami stared at him. "Who else?"

"Everyone." Hatori smiled and then sighed and looked down. "My family's curse has finally been broken completely."

"I see…" Kami looked at him. "And Akito is okay with that?"

"At first no. Akito was throwing a tantrum when I first arrived. He had broken many of the things in his room. Shigure and I got there at the same time. Akito practically threw himself at us in anger. But we sat him down and calmed him." Hatori smiled. "After crying and talking Akito seemed to calm down…. You see Akito has always relied on the zodiac members. We helped Akito realize that even though we no longer have the connection we still care about him…" Hatori sighed. "I guess I should say her."

"Her?" Kami blinked.

"Akito was born a woman but because of the zodiac curse was raised as a man. Because of that Akito has always been… unstable. She needed the zodiac to feel connected to the world around her. When the curse broke she was distraught but when she realized that we still care about her and were willing to come to her Akito calmed down. She's going to have a meeting tomorrow for all the zodiac members."

"So… they all broke…" Kami whispered.

"Yes."

"And Akito… She won't hurt anyone anymore?"

Hatori nodded. "I think she's finally accepted everything."

Kami smiled and stood up quickly. "I need to go talk to my cousins!"

"Kami?"

"I was worried Akito would hurt you. And then I was worried Akito would hurt the rest of the zodiac members if Yukio told Akito. That is the only reason I didn't go back to talk to them!"

Hatori looked at her and smiled. "You want to help them break their curse."

"Yes." Kami looked down. "I'm sorry I need to go now."

"It's okay." Hatori took her hand. "I'll come with you."

"Really?" Kami smiled. "Thank you."

"I won't leave you." Hatori kissed her gently and wrapped his arms around her. "Let's go."

"Right." Kami grabbed her own jacket and they hurried out.

Natsuki sat on her bed and frowned. Haru's curse is broken… And he… He likes me… He's my boyfriend… Natsuki was having a hard time believing it all. She sighed and flopped onto her bed. "UGH!"

"Hey Natsuki!" A voice called out.

Natsuki frowned and pushed up off her bed. "Miyako?" She walked out to find Miyako standing in the hallway. "What are you doing here?"

"Can I talk to you?"

"Sure. Come in."

Miyako looked down. "Not here."

"Okay…" Natsuki frowned but followed Miyako. "Where are we going?"

"Outside the-." Miyako froze. "That was… KAMI!" Miyako took off running.

"Kami!" Where? Natsuki looked around and spotted Kami walking into the Kibaru complex. And even more surprising Hatori Sohma was with her. Miyako flung herself at Kami, almost knocking Kami over. In fact it seemed like only Hatori held her up. Natsuki didn't wait any long and rushed towards them. "Kami!"

"Hey Natsuki." Kami was laughing as she hugged Miyako. "Good to see you two."

"Where have you been?!" Natsuki glared at her cousin and then turned her glare towards Hatori. "And what are you doing here?!"

Before either of them could answer a cold voice spoke out. "Kami." Yukio came walking towards them. A dark glare in his eyes.

"Yukio." Kami spoke calmly as she turned to face him, but her hand was shaking. Natsuki noticed Hatori take her hand.

"What are you doing?" Yukio hissed.

"I came to talk to my cousins." Kami said sternly. "I'm going to tell them the truth!"

Natsuki was confused and Yukio looked extremely angry. In fact he looked like he was about to hit her. Instead though he glared at Hatori.

"And what is he doing here?!"
"Hatori is my boyfriend!" Kami said sternly. "He means the most to me."

"And you would risk that?" Yukio seemed to be grinning darkly. "Don't forget the promise I made you."

"That promise means nothing." Kami was smiling and she leaned in and hugged Hatori. Yukio seemed shocked. "Things have changed." She pulled away from Hatori and took a step towards Yukio. "The truth will come out."

Suddenly Yukio slapped Kami straight across the face full powered. Natsuki stood there stunned. Hatori was the only one to move as he rushed over to Kami. He crouched down and helped her up. She was bleeding from her lip.

"YUKIO!" They all spun and watched and Shouta came running towards them, a full sized wolf. He lunged at Yukio.

"Stop it Shouta!" Yukio roared as he avoided the wolf. "Your anger!"

"I DON'T CARE!" Shouta roared. His body seemed to shift slightly and then he was stumbling forward, fully human. Yukio looked shocked.

Kami just smiled from Hatori's arms. "You did it too… Good job Shouta…" She smiled. "You broke your own curse."

Natsuki froze. Curse broke? She slowly walked over to Kami. "Kami? What?"

"Our curse can be broken!"

"Kami!" Yukio roared.

"NO!" Kami yelled. "You can't threaten us anymore!" She smiled. "Miyako go get the others… It's time this ends!"

Miyako nodded and took off.

"MIYAKO!" Yukio yelled but Shouta leaned over and punched Yukio straight in the jaw.

"I've been meaning to do that for forever." Shouta smirked. "So Hatori… You and my cousin right?" He smirked and Hatori nodded.

"Well I guess I should tell you me and your cousin Rin are kind of dating now."

"What?" Natsuki looked at him. "When did this happen?"

"Not too long ago." Shouta shrugged. "After her and her old boyfriend broke up it kind of just… Happen." He shrugged.

"Well this is a little weird." Natsuki flushed and looked down. "I'm… dating your girlfriend's ex."

Kami just laughed. Yukio groaned from the ground. A moment later there was a storm of feet and Miyako came back leading all of their family members who were cursed.

"Kami?" Takuma came running and hugged her.

"Kami?" Raine and Hitomi said together.

"Hey guys." Kami smiled and Hatori and her stood up. "There is something I need to tell you. My curse broke a while back." Everyone looked stunned. "I would have told you but Yukio threatened both me and Hatori." She took his hand. "But there is a way to break our curse." She looked at each of them. "You either must fully accept your curse or completely reject it."

Everyone started talking in loud confused voices.

"Calm down." Kami spoke up. "I don't know how long it will take to break your curse but I know it is possible. I was the fourth in our family line… and Shouta was the fifth."

"Yep." Shouta grinned. "I can be as angry as I want. Speaking of." He glared towards Yukio. "Is it bad that I want to beat this jerk to death?"

"Shouta calm down." Ksmi sighed.

"He doesn't have to anymore." Natsuki folded her arms over her chest. "His curse is broken now."

"Yes but it's not Yukio's fault that we were curse." She sighed. "As mad as I am at Yukio for everything he has done… He's not our enemy… and he is family."

"You think you can leave me?!" Yukio yelled at Kami. "Abandon us?! We are connected! You want to take that away!"

"Shut up Yukio." They all spun as they heard a new voice.

"Akito?" Hatori whispered. A girl came walking towards them. She had short black hair, in a boyish cut, and wore a extremely feminine kimono.

"Akito." Yukio hissed.

"That's enough." Akito smiled. "Let's go inside and talk."
