Introduction
Once upon a time, God told the animals, βIβm inviting you all to my banquet tomorrow. Donβt be late.β Hearing that the mischievous rat lied to his neighbor, the cat, and told him the banquet would be the day after tomorrow. The next day the rat rode on the back of the ox and nimbly landed before the banquet hall. After him followed the ox, the tiger, and all the rest, and together they feasted until morning. All except for the cat who had been tricked.
The Sohma family has been living with a curse for as long as they could remember. They are possessed by the vengeful spirits of the Chinese Zodiac. Whenever they hug a member of the opposite sex, who isnβt a member of the Zodiac, they transform into their respective animals. They stay away from crowds to lower the occurrences of them transforming and stay to themselves more often than not.
Those who know of the Zodiac curse live inside the gate as they always have and those who do not live outside the gate. Some of the older Zodiac members have received permission from the head of the family to live outside of the gates, but only a few are allowed to do so.
This story will occur a few generations after Yuki, Kyo, and Shigureβs generation. The curse wasnβt lifted and they family remained cursed. You may not have the same names or pasts as the original characters from the series. You will obviously be related to that generation, but they are not allowed to be your parents. They can be your grandparents or something of the like, remember you are a few generations younger than them. Only if you want your character to be in his twenties or thirties can they be your parents, but please try to be reasonable in the fact that not all of the characters can be that old, we do want some to be teenagers or younger. Also try not to have too many younger Zodiac members, try to stay within reasonable ages.

" Today at school I ate lunch with a girl named Akane Hirogatsu, the nicest girl at the school. She notice that I had no one eat with and nothing to eat. Akane offered me food but I refused, so instead she came onto roof with me and kept me company. She asked question about my favorite things. But when she asked me about my parents... I told her good they were, well... mostly my mom anyway. After lunch I couldn't stop thinking about them and how much they cared for me.
When I first came here, I was banned to ever see them or talk to them. I know the dragon erased their memories but I just want- I wanted to know where they live, if their back on their feet. If my mother okay, or if she dead. I want to see them. And I have kept my promise to be by your side at all times. Only once have I disobeyed you and that was only because I was scare of you. I think I desire to atleast see them and how their doing."

And he wasn't happy with her questions.
He waited for her to finish, and then he sat in silence, staring straight into her eyes, expressionless and motionless. His hand hovered half way between them, frozen as he was, seemingly caught between strike and caress. But perhaps he should have moved that hand, should have struck. To many a physical blow would not seem as cruel as the words that slipped through his lips.
"You have no parents," he told her softly, in a voice that might have seemed gentle, concerned, if it were anyone but Masahiro speaking. "You have no family. No friends. Without me you would have nothing in this world. You would be nothing."
Shifting gracefully, he came to his feet, standing over her. He tipped his chin up, glaring down his nose at his own personal dog.
"Remember that, pup," he hissed at her. "You owe me your life. Without me you would be worse than dead."
He whisked around, turning his back on her and heading for the porch, to take his customary seat and stare out over the garden.
"Outsiders are dangerous," he told the girl icily. "Do not befriend that girl. Do not reveal our secret to the world."

Mitsuki watched the fish in the pond swirl around in the cold water. She poked her finger in, and giggled when the fish nibbled on the tip of her finger. She then begin to yawn. "hm?" A red balloon was floating in the air while the wind gently pushed it. Her icy blue eyes twinkled before she slowly got up wobbling a bit. Running slowly out as if there was no care in the world. Her thin hand reached out as if she can grasp her fingers around the string of the floating balloon. Soon enough she made it to town. People eyed her strangely at her odd color hair and eyes. Mitsuki looked a bit to federal to be in the modern time. She was wearing a kimono and her bright ivory white hair hit the floor. As she continues running, she crashes into something or someone. She falls back and painfully lands on her back. Mitsuki peers up to see a girl.
Mizure Sohma
Mizure was near the god, and his personal "dog" as they spoke. Her eyes narrowed a bit at their interaction. Of all people it had to be taki who lost it all. It was sad and she almost pitied the girl, but she didnt. Sighing she softly spoke not wanting to offend the god in any way. "God-sama even though she makes a foolish mistake i could always erase the girl's memory, so dont worry." She swallows nervously hoping Masahiro didnt hiss at her. "Masahiro-sama," She looks at Akihiko, the rat. She didn't talk to him much but she knows enough. Mizure runs her fingers through her dark mute black hair as she took a step back.

"Are you alright?" she cried, crouching beside the child. Her hands fluttered anxiously over her, checking for wounds. "I didn't hurt you, did I?!"
_____________________________________________
Masahiro turned to Mizure, then to Akihiko, watching the passing crowds through dead violet eyes.
"There are certainly a lot of people passing through today," he murmured. "I wonder why everyone is so restless? You all waste your time at that outside school. Don't you have homework to do?"

She shook her head respectfully. "No Masahiro-sama not today, but if you want me to leave i would do so. " She questions softly. Her dark purple eyes show no defiance nor any hate it was calm.
Mitsuki Sohma
She rubs her head as the pain slowly goes away, she looks up at her and smiles cheerfully. "Im fine..but why am i on the floor." Her voice asked in confusion. It seems her illness kicked in once again causing her to forget things randomly yet slowly. Mitsuki's head cocked to the side, before she got up weakly. "Anyways! my name is Mitsuki Sohma nice to meet you!" Mitsuki greets cheerfully like nothing happened.

Takuya sighed. Rukishi sure knew how to dampen an already sour mood. Amora seemed to sense his discomfort, and nuzzeled her way deeper into his arms. He looked down at her and smiled, petting her softly. She then sat down on the floor, leaning his head against the wall. He wondered if there was any way he could ever get out of living at the Main house. Even as he thought it, he knew it was impossible. Being one of the actual Zodiac, the Horse, there was no way Masahiro would ever let him leave.

"Oh, but you do, Aki-kun," he whispered. "You mean all the disrespect in the world..."
He turned to Mizure, eyes frigid.
"Stay," he murmured, offering no explanation or further orders.

Akane blinked, startled by the girl.
"U-um, hello?" she answered quietly. Then something registered. "You're a Sohma? Ah!"
She bowed quickly.
"My apologies. My name is Akane!"

Akihiko should know of the punishments which might happen if he got any further.
She turns her focus to the god to only shiver at the cruel smile he gave, before he commanded her to stay.
Mizure composed herself and nodded.
"Of course."
___________________________________________________________________________
Mitsuki blinks a couple of times in confusion before smiling. "It alright and nice to meet you Akane!" She then said randomly. "Akane..thats such a pretty name!"
She giggles before dusting off her kimino.
So Akane-san where might you be going?"
She questioned her head tilted to the side a bit, it literally screamed "innocence"

All that Taki wanted was to be outside that house.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Rukishi toke Tezu advice to look from Akihiko, to check up on him. That joke was funny and they know it. These kids are not going to make it if they kept this depression thing going. At least try to have some happiness to your life- it the only way to beat Masahiro. I guess it will take someone outside of this family to make them realize that. Rukishi was inside of the Main house, just a few feet away from Masahiro's door. He could hear some voices coming from the room. Hmmm, get risk being seen by Masahiro or go back out and watch high school girls. Rukishi slowly walked away singing the high school girl song.

"Mitsuki, you shouldn't be wandering around by yourself. I don't think that Masahiro-sama would be all that happy about it," he said quietly. He looked over at Akane and smiled gently. "Hello again, Miss Hirogatsu," he said just as quietly as before.

"Do you understand, Taki?" he asked in a whispering tone. "I don't expect you to. You're just a dog... why would you understand? You're not smart enough to know..."
_____________________________________
Akane turned red around the ears. She seemed to be doing that quite a lot lately.
"H-hello, Sohma-san," she murmured, bowing rapidly to him. "I-it's nice to see you again. Do you know... Mitsuki-chan... somehow?"
It was a stupid question, but she was too flustered to think of anything else.

Taki nodded refusing to look up at Masahiro, fearing that he'll see how upset she is. " Of coarse I understand, I shouldn't have asked in the first place. Should've known the answer would be no... I just thought- I thought. I thought nothing, just hope that I get to say thank you to the people gave birth to me. Even though it's not anything to be thankful for."
_____________________________________________________________________________
It started snowing and it was to cold for anyone to be outside. Making Rukishi very sad, because their were barely any high school girls to flirt with. Yet, there's hope! Rukishi was walking down at sidewalk to see Akihiko and Mitsuki with a very pretty young girl. Probably a high school girl! Aaaaw, the rat has a crush! Time to ruin it! Rukishi picked up speed, then slowed down as tragedy happen.
A transformation...
" Akihiko! No!"

Of coarse I understand, I shouldn't have asked in the first. Should've known the answer would be no... I just thought- I thought. I thought nothing, just hope that said thank you to the people gave birth to me. Even though it's not anything to be thankful for."
"Taki.." She thought sadly. Even though we were cursed, we were still humans and for Taki to be so "loyal" it was sickening.
___________________________________________
Mitsuki turns to see Akihiko. She smiles at the mouse. "Mitsuki, you shouldn't be wandering around by yourself. I don't think that Masahiro-sama would be all that happy about it," She pouts, and smiles a bit sheepishly. "Im sorry its just i saw a balloon and i wanted to catch it and- well i mean...i forgot." She giggles weakly as she rubbed her neck a bit embarrassed.
All of a sudden what happened came in a flash. Soon enough Akihiko transformed into a rat. HEr eyes widen, she quickly picked his small form into her hands which were covered by long kimino sleeves.
"Mitsuki, how many people do you think saw?"
She looks around, to see a small girl tugging onto her mother's sleeve, and a couple of other people who were watching a street show.
"I dont think anyone saw Akihiko-kun, but Akane.."
She whispers nervously looking at the human girl. If she saw then she would have to have her memory erased by Mizure..
Mitsuki turns hearing running footsteps. It was Rukishi, she ran to him but wobbled a bit.
"Rukishi-kun what do we do!"

"Good girl," he murmured, reaching out and fondling Taki's hair, as anyone might fondle a dog's ears.
Then he turned to Mizure, and his eyes sparked.
"Problem, Mizure-chan?" he asked evenly.
________________________________________
Akane was not expecting the fall, but that didn't matter. She was good at falling. She did it all the time .and managed not to hurt herself too badly. Normally she would have just jumped to her feet and started bowing an apology.
Normal did not seem to apply to this situation.
She lay on the ground, propped up by her elbows, staring open-mouthed at the tiny gray rat that she could have sworn had once been Akihiko. It certainly spoke in Akihiko's voice. Her eyes flew around, to Rukishi, to Mitsuki, to the rat... Akihiko... rat...
She shook her head rapidly.
"Wh-what... just happened?" she squeaked, then blinked, turning to stare at Akihiko. Suddenly, she seemed worried not about her own surprise, but about Akihiko. "A-are you alright?" she cried, completely over the fact: it seemed: that he had turned into a rat in the first place. "It doesn't hurt, does it?! Was it my fault?! I'm so sorry!"

She stops when he spoke to her.
"Problem, Mizure-chan?"
Mizure was about to shake her head until she caught Taki's sorrowful eyes. It caused her to snap.
"Yes there is Masahiro!" "why do you treat Taki-san so unfairly, your just the same as us!" She pants after the non stop yelling, but her eyes widen in fear. She rose her voice toward the god of the sohmas. Why did she have to snap! Why couldnt she hold it in. Her bangs shadowed over her eyes waiting for a painful hit.
"i-im sorry.." She whispers.
______________________________
Mitsuki blinks at Akane's reaction. It was a first, she was actually caring about Akihiko then running away. Her icy blue eyes gleam. Maybe..just maybe she was the one to break the curse. Before she heard a story about a girl named Tohru but the memory faded ever so slightly. It caused her to smile just a bit, though her eyes still remain to it dreamy look.
"if we need somewhere private.." She looks toward Akane. "We can go to your home?" She says suggestively.

The smile that crossed his face was cruel and false. Slowly, gracefully, he came to his feet, sweeping his streaming black hair out of his face and turning to Mizure.
"Come with me, Mizure-chan," he commanded calmly. "And you as well, Taki-chan. It is time to remind you of your places..."
He turned then, striding away from them. Striding away from his favorite room on the estate... that black room where he took those who displeased him to receive their punishments.

Akane blinked at Mitsuki, confused for a moment. Then she scrambled to her feet.
"O-of course!" she cried, bowing rapidly. "Please, come with me! We can go to my home!"
Beckoning eagerly to them, she led the way down the street.

She gets up and looks down at Taki.
"im so sorry..its all my fault y-you should just run.." She whispers down to her, her purple eyes glistening with guilt and fear.
Mizure slowly following attempting to hide her fear of the pain.

Akane's also wandering around town, if you feel like leaving the estate and crashing (maybe literally) into her. I think she should find out soon, so she can get more involved with the family~
