Introduction
There are only 12 Zodiac animals, then one unfortunate animal who never made it into the Zodiac... The cat. The cat's curse is the worst of all.
The story states that long ago, god held a banquet for all the animals. The rat told the cat, the banquet was the next day. So while all the animals were having a good time, the cat was at home dreaming of the banquet that would never come. The cat never made it into the Zodiac, and it's all because of the rat.
There is a way to break the curse, the members of the Zodiac must fall in love with someone who loves them for who they are.
Two houses connect the Koichi family, each house has an outsider living there, two orphans who were taken in by the Koichi's, of course their leader...the dragon, doesn't approve, but many of the members think it's a good idea for the Zodiac to be around others, others who might accept them for who they are.

History:
The two houses that the Koichi family own are connected, all members live within the two houses. The dragon is the ruler, meant to be a strange boy who has a fiery temper and a very sadistic attitude. He should be cruel and very hard to get close to. If nobody plays the Dragon, it will not effect the story.

Light orange hair was tossed messily over his eyes, as he sat up. Most of the others would be coming home from school or work around this time, he hoped that the leader of the family wouldn't find out he skipped school again... but his ego wouldn't allow him to hide or admit he feared punishment.
His odd red hair dangled infront of his forehead, tickling his nose as his bangs were a bit long. Breathing softly, the vampiric looking boy pulled out a red inhaler, now at the doorstep of the house as he solemnly sucked in through the tube, making a soft sigh as he shoved it back in his pocket.
Yuji looked up, seeing the cat ontop of the roof. Raising his arm to wave, he added a small comment. "Don't fall off."

Kazu jumped down, quite elegantly which was rare for him, he didn't bother brushing the hair from his eyes he just walked quickly inside and to his room. It was obvious he tried to avoid Yuji, but he also wanted to avoid their leader... the dragon. Nobody could predict how the Koichi leader would behave, but most likely he would be angry for Kazu skipping class. The dragon seemed to favor being angry.

Purple eyes showed a gleam of happiness when she saw Miku, her eyes always lit up when she saw members of the family. She gave a pleasant wave and ran inside, finally taking a breath, she grabbed an apron and began cooking.

Sliding down the wall and into a sitting position, his chest rising up and down softly, he rummaged through his bag and pulled out a black book with the word "Yuji" on it in kanji.
Opening the lock in which the book had, taking apart the chain, he opened the book and solemnly began writing. It was like a diary almost, keeping his most deep and darkest secrets, what he thought about the cat, and more importantly, his life. He used a red ink pen, and some of the writing dripped, almost seeming like blood.
".....and so, I guess it's my fault for making people sob. I'm the rat after all, the one whom tricked the cat, the one whom began the hatred towards the cat. Fun... he wrote after a long paragraph, and then stopped, setting the pen on the book and resting his arms ontop of it, laying his head in the gap between his arms and just staring at his writing, blinking his half-closed eyes.
Getting up, he set his books down and headed towards the kitchen and began cleaning the dishes, since he pretty much guessed no one else was going to. Unfortunately, he left his stupid diary open. What a smart idea, considering the cat was around...
"Fool," he murmured to himself.

Eric came back just in time to see the conversation between Kazu and Yuji. He watched as Kazu walked towards his room, and decided that he would go try to get Kazu to be a bit more friendly - maybe even come to school more often! But first, Eric entered the kitchen; he needed to pay back the family, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford staying here. As he walked in, he saw Sayu already there. "Hey, Sayu! Whatcha makin? Need any help there?" As he said this, he was already pinning up his hair and putting on an apron; the helping wasn't really a question. Everyone else told him that using hair pins was girly, but he refused to cut it, preferring to let it grow.

He walked the rest of the way to the kitchen and threw the book at the back of Yuji's head "Here you damn rat... Next time don't leave it where I'll trip on it!" he shouted, immediately feeling a bit upset that he yelled when Yuji clearly didn't do anything. He felt even more upset when he saw Sayu was in the room "What are we eating... better not be leeks." He instantly turned his back to Yuji and Sayu and took a seat at the table.

were extremely quiet until she saw Sayu running toward home. Inori hadn't really spoken to Sayu since her family took her in. Inori didn't want to bother because
she was probably trying to get settled into her new life. I would just be a annoying to her, and she probably wouldn't want to talk to me any way. Once she got home, she opened the front door. Inori walked up to her room, to just be alone until diner started.

"You better not have read it, stupid cat." He retorted, grabbing a small cloth to dry his hands as he leaned down to pick up his book. Setting it next to him, his gaze solemnly turned to Eric and Sayu.
"Good afternoon Sayu, Eric." He said with a small respective bow. "How are you two?"
Coughing a bit, Yuji reached into his pocket and grabbed his inhaler, though he fumbled it like an idiot for practicaly 5 seconds, then stuck it in his mouth to breathe. He hated this so much; you never knew when you were going to have an asthma attack. It could be at the randomest times.
Shoving it back in his pocket, he sighed and continued on washing the dishes after putting hand sanitizer on his hands. "It's alright, Miss Sayu. I can deal with things being thrown."

He realized Yuji had said something to him during this time. "Oh, I'm fine, thanks. But hey, why don't we save those for after dinner? Could you please set the table instead?"

Sayu made sure to put little pieces of cod fish in Kazu's, she liked keeping him in a good mood, since it was extremely rare.

Kazu's eyebrows narrowed as he was scolded, and he turned away, pulling his chair farther from the table and closer to the corner of the dining room. "I didn't read your stupid book.." he huffed at Yuji, slightly twitching as he lied. He only skimmed it, and didn't really understand what it was saying, but he still read it.
When Eric mentioned vegetables Kazu was quick to protest, not being one to hold back his input. "Yuck, why do we need vegetables?" He had an obvious pout plastered on his face but didn't rant as long as he usually would, the smell of cod fish calmed him down quite easily.

Abandoning the dishes and turning the faucet off, he dried his hands and walked over, putting a blue paper covering over the table so if food got on it, it wouldn't stain. Occasionally, he'd look up to stare somberly at the cat, then get back to setting it. Putting comfortable padding on the seats, his eyes glazed over the cat as he walked to Kazu's seat.
"Up. Let me set the padding, please," he requested, rather more politely than expected. "Also, scoot up to the table."
Eric finished the bok choy and threw it into a giant bowl. He gave Kazu the sternest look he could muster, saying, "C'mon, Kazu, you don't have to eat it. It's there for anyone else. Not everyone has the same taste as you." Eric gave him a small pat on the shoulder, then ran off throughout the rest of the house. He shouted, "Hey everyone, dinner's almost done! Please come on to the table!" He made sure to go through the whole place, then ran back to the kitchen to save some. Looks like not everyone's quite home yet.
"I'm hooommee~" Skidding into the hallway, he saw Eric go back into the kitchen. Fallowing the boy, he saw the table already set with bock choy and other foods. Liking his lips he went to his respective seat. It seemed like he was a bit late since Izaya was already home as well. "Looks good as always Sayu....or Eric, whatever, whoever made it." Suddenly remembering his manners, Akashi set down the pair of chopsticks waiting for the rest.
"So.....how's everyone's day been?" He asked cautiously.

Kazu was so awkward when it came to people, even having a family meal was weird to him and he didn't know how to deal with the situation. Naturally his pride caused him to be rude as a way to deal with others. When Akashi questioned everyone about their day, Kazu ignored and began twirling the chop sticks between his fingers.
Kaji exited his room and made his way down for the kitchen. He started to get irritated with the loud noises, but told himself not to let it ruin his mood. He passed Izaya asleep on the couch. He couldn't help but smile. As he made his way to the entrance of the kitchen, he witnessed Kazu throwing a book at Yuji's head as he cleaned the dishes. He remained in the shadows where he couldn't be seen. He observed the children as the held their conversations and shouting. Kaji laughed lightly to himself as Yuji looked to be in some pain. After it had settled down, he walked in grabbed the offending book, and threw it at Kazu's head. "Don't throw things at people who are doing stuff!" He growled at him. He chuckled a bit, turned around and grabbed for the cuboard that contained his teas.
"Hey, Kaji-san~" A cheeky smile still plastered on his face, "How was your day today?" He halfway hoped the man would answer him, he doubted it though. He tried hard to interact with the others of the house hold, but he seemed to take a liking to Sayu and Izaya more. The rest were hard to talk to.
