A/N: Hope you guys enjoy. Reyra gets a little emotional in the chapters to come, but that just shows you who she is or some shiz like that. You'll see what I mean. Read and review.
-Reyra-
I looked at all of them before looking back at the oldest one here. He had black hair to about his shoulders with brown eyes and he was wearing a beige colored robe.
"So I take it you're Shigure?"
I asked after a while and he nodded.
"Yes."
He said and I sighed at his one word answer.
"So, you are all members of the Chinese Zodiac that goes along with the kids story?"
I asked and heard Kyo scoff.
"My bad, members of the Zodiac plus the cat. If it makes you feel any better I really like cats."
I said and smirked when I saw him blush.
"So, how is it you're a part of the Zodiac?"
Shigure asked.
"yeah, I thought there was only twelve members."
Tohru said and I smiled at them.
"Well, in all actuality there are the twelve members of the Chinese Zodiac and the four hidden Zodiacs."
I said and everyone looked at me confused.
"The four hidden Zodiacs?"
Yuki asked slowly and I nodded.
"Yep. You all know the animals already in the Zodiac. There's the lamb, the rooster, the monkey, the dragon…."
I said starting to list them off.
"The snake, the tiger, the horse, the boar…."
Tohru said and I smiled at her.
"The dog."
Shigure said.
"The rat."
Yuki said.
"The rabbit."
Momiji said.
"And the Ox."
Haru and I said together and I smiled at him which he returned with a small smile of his own.
"Then there's the cat."
I said and noticed Kyo flinched slightly. Looks like he still wanted to be included.
"So what are the four animals of the hidden Zodiac?"
Tohru asked and I smiled at her.
"Well, there's the fox, the wolf, the raccoon, and obviously the panther."
I said and they all stared at me.
"Okay, staring is still creepy no matter who's doing it so stop."
I said and they all looked away, a few of them with blushes on their faces. Yuki, Kyo, and Haru were among them.
"Hey Shigure, do you think it'd be alright if I stayed here?"
I asked suddenly and everyone turned to look at me.
"I mean, having another girl in the house means the chores will be done quicker, not to mention it'll give Tohru here someone to talk to. Plus I kinda don't want to be on my own now that I know there are others like me."
I said and he rubbed his chin in thought.
"But didn't you already know about the Zodiac curse? You must have known there were others like you."
He said and I looked down at my hands.
"It crossed my mind sure, but I never actually thought there were others like me. I'd thought I was alone until just a few minutes ago."
I said and heard him hmm in thought.
"look, if you don't want me to stay then I can just go."
I said getting to my feet and going to grab my guitar that I had leaned up against the wall.
"NO!"
I heard Momiji yell before I was suddenly tackled to the floor with a teary eyed Momiji sitting on my back.
"You can't leave!"
He cried and I groaned. It would be so easy to knock him off of me, but then again I might send him flying through the house and end up breaking something.
"Haha, it would seem like Momiji has become rather attached to you. You can stay as long as you promise not to tell anyone our secret."
He said and I rolled my eyes at him as Momiji allowed me to sit up. He moved so he was sitting in my lap and buried his head into my chest. I saw looks of shock and disbelief coming from Kyo, Yuki, and Haru. Though Haru looked like he wanted to kill the little boy in my lap, and Shigure had a really weird look on his face.
"What? He's just a kid."
I said as I wrapped my arms around him.
"Momiji is actually as old as Haru. They're both Juniors."
Yuki said and I froze before looking down at the rabbit-boy in my lap before smiling down at him.
"So what? He's cute."
I said before giving him a hug which he eagerly returned. I looked up and almost laughed at the evil glares Momiji was getting from the three boys across from us.
"Right, well one of you boys show Reyra to her room. If you need me, I'll be working on my book."
Shigure said before leaving and I noticed the perverted smile on his face as he passed.
'I'm not so sure I want to know what his books are about.'
I thought to myself as I got to my feet. I let Momiji go and he pouted before I smiled at him and ruffled his hair. I walked over and grabbed my guitar since it was really he only thing I owned before turning to Kyo, Yuki, and Haru.
"So, which one of you boys is going to show me to my room?"
I asked and nearly burst out laughing when they all jumped to their feet at the same time, thought Haru was just a few seconds faster.
"I'll show you."
Kyo said I nodded to him.
"Oh please. You couldn't show her the way to the front door let alone her room you stupid cat. I'll show her."
Yuki said and I smirked as those two started to fight and Tohru tried to break it up. It was obvious she liked Kyo so I'd leave him alone. Though Yuki and Haru seemed to be free game.
"Well, seems like I've effectively been forgotten."
I said to myself before Haru came over to me.
"If you want, I can show you to your room since Yuki and Kyo are busy."
He said nicely and I smiled at him. He was sweet, but I could sense there was something else about him. Something he was hiding other than the curse and I was determined to find out what that was.
"I'd like that."
I said with a smile before following him out of the room, down the hall, and up the stairs.
