Yuzuyu remained facing the wall a little longer until Chris was finished explaining about why they turned into animals. "Uh... So this is, um... normal? So then it's like... a curse?" she tried to keep herself calm as she asked but her mind was in a frenzy. Who turns in to an animal every time someone hug them. Or someone of the opposite gender. Then Satoshi said something about not being able yo do it without someone's order. "Do it?" he explained that Hikaru was the head of their family. "I understand, I guess if someone like me found out about your family curse it could be a problem..." A family curse... What would it be like to live with a curse like that?

Taiyo rapped his fingers on the counter as Kaname grew annoyed. He knew his sister could be annoying but still he didn't want the problem to escelate any further. "Kaname, she didn't know, alright?" He said cooly, and politely. He rarely raised his voice and he wasn't going to start yelling now. With that he turned around to look at his sister and other cousin.
There was a bit of an awkward silence before Tora's question finally made it's way through Tokaru's head. "No, I'm fine. I hope your burn isn't too bad, Tora." She said thoughtfully. She was trying to process two conversations at once and smiled at what Kaname had said, "High school sounds like so much fun! More time to learn in class, and I love gym it's like a whole nother recess."

((Alright, I'll just roll with it... ))
A rather loud clatter came from the front door of Akio's house, making such a noise that one might believe the sliding door had just been blown off it's frame. And soon after there was a moment of shouting, argueing, maybe. Someone was pleading the other person to calm down.
And sure enough, the doors had crashed into the opposite wall, leaving a large opening in the wall to the outside. As the moon's light flooded in, a shadow was cast in the form of Katsuya.
After another moment Suzu could be seen with a mixture of agitation and nervousness plain on her features.
Katsu stepped forward with a dark grin on her face as she glared holes into the back of Chris's head.
"If I'm going to live here than we best get this over with, damn rat! I'm taking you out!!" she said while cracking her neck.

(that's the spirit!)
Tora smiled sweetly.
"Oh I'll be fine! I really must go now though, Tokaru. My mom will get mad if I don't get home soon. I wish I could help decorate the cakes though." She then turned her head to Taiyo.
"Maybe your brother can help?"
Kaname rolled his eyes, but managed to calm his temper. Growling under his breath, he stomped over to Tora and grabbed one of her piggytails, trying to drag her out the door.
"Yeah, ok, whatever. Have fun with your stupid cake guys."
Tora squealed and held out her arms to Tokaru, but they had already left the house.

Tokaru smiled and waved as they left the kitchen, "Ok Bye Tora-chan, Kaname-kun, I hope to see you guys soon!" She called louder than needed through the house. Once she couldn't hear them anymore she turned back to the cake. "So you want to help with the cake decorating nii-san?"
Taiyo finished arranging the ingredients and had paid no attention to Kaname's and Tora's departure. "Sure, What were you going to do?" he asked as he turned around and took a leaning stance against the counter.
"Well the first cake we were going to have strawberry icing, with chocolate covered strawberries around the rim, and the second we were going to decorate the cake with the different zodiac animals." She smiled.

"Uhh... Eh?" Yuzu turned around to see a girl with purple hair by the main door. Rat? Oh Chris! Take him out? The way that she said it made it clear she didn't mean taking someone out as in on a date. It was quite clear she meant taking out as in beating him up or something along those lines. One, they turn in to animals. Two, they talk as animals. Three, They turn back to people but just that they're naked. Four, They tell her they're cursed and turn in to the animals of the zodiac. Five, Satoshi says he can't do it without Hikaru's permission, who is the head of the family. And now Six, some girl shows up wanting to fight Chris!?

Chris turned around as he heard the loud crash. 'Great, it's that stupid cat. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse,' Chris sighed before brushing his dark blue hair out of his eyes. "Wait, wait! I think I've heard this before!" he said sarcastically.
"Don't worry, this goes back much farther than just today," Satoshi said whe he noticed Yuzuyu's expression. "It won't last much longer..." he buttoned up the cuff then brushed off his white dress shirt as he moved away from Chris. "Hiro, the first-aid kit if you don't mind. I think we'll be needing it now."
The blue-haired boy unbottoned the top two buttons on his shirt. "I'll give you the honors of striking first. Or atleast you could try," he said smugly. "Miss Katakura, it'd be much better if you moved back a bit..." he smiled turning to the girl. "It won't take long."

An unfamiliar voice threw Katsu off a little, she turned her head to see some girl standing there. Her stuttering was what caught Katsu's attention, and the girl seemed quite confused and a little overwhelmed.
When Chris started up, her head whipped back around to face him, a fresh scowl crossing her expression. Satoshi's comments to this new girl didn't help either. As he went on, his words only fueled Katsuya's temper and she started to step forward, her hands curling into tight fists. But then, when Chris had adressed 'Miss Katakura' and again emphasized that this would 'not take long', the last thread that had held Katsu's anger back finally snapped.
"Shut up!! That's it!! I swear I'll wipe that damn smirk right off your face, rat!!" she yelled as she leapt towards him, cat-like in her swift movements.
She made to punch him sqaure in the face and was within inches of Chris, her fist swinging for him, all in just a moment.

Kaname had managed to drag Tora all the way to her house. There were two cars parked in the drive-way and the tiger seemed to shrink away from them a little. Kaname noticed and felt a bit guilty at her discomfort. He let go of her hair and sighed, turning to her.
"I'm sorry Tora, but you know I don't let anybody boss me around, at least not when we're betting or something. Now you PROMISED to do whatever i said if I went to school. Do you want to be labeled a liar or something?"
Tora looked up at him with large, red eyes and slowly shook her head. Her smile was gone and instead, the corners of her mouth were turned down. Kaname rubbed the back of his head, feeling odd.
"Eh...don't look at me like that Tora. You'll be fine. You always are." He managed to give her a small smile.
"Don't worry, I won't make you do anything bad. Just come over when you can ok?"
Tora looked at her door and nodded slowly. A light had turned on in the living room and she flinched. Kaname sighed and grabbed her arm, pulling her into a loose hug.
"Don't worry...you'll be ok. And...I'm sorry."
Tora hugged him back reluctantly, her usual perky and loving self gone. She nodded and let him go, walking into the front door of her house. Kaname watched her and turned around to her a shout and something hard hitting something else. He grimaced, but glared at into the night as he ignored the sounds and walked towards his own home.

"Yes, it would be better if you stepped away from those two," Satoshi told Yuzuyu as he pulled her away and sat her down next to the low coffee table. "Now, your ankle. Is it alright?" the male inquired setting the white plastic box on the table next to him.
Katsuya didn't do things much differently than she usually. She lunged right at him after saying telling him to shut up or telling him that she'll wipe the smirk off his face. It was predictable, they meet they fight. Briefly, of course. In the end, the only thing that's bruised is her ego.
"I'm not smirking, stupid cat," in the blink of an eye Chris had brought his leg up and the sole of his right foot connected with Katsu's chin.

Right when she was expecting her punch to collide with him, Chris had moved. And right in the same moment she was suddenly looking up at the ceiling as his foot thrusted her chin upward. It was a bit of a painful hit, and she flew back a couple steps, her hand going to her sore chin. But just after a moment she was up and coming at him again, twirling in mid-air for a round house kick to his legs. In her anger, she wasn't thinking about tactics or what to do. She wasn't thinking much about much of anything, really, besides the desire to hurt him. To finally cause Chris pain instead of herself and win. Katsu longed for that moment.
By this time Suzu had come in through the hole Katsu had left from kicking in the door. She rolled her eyes, unsurprised, as Katsu and Chris started at it again. This was such a routine by now that no one really took note of it. Suzu walked towards Satoshi and the unfamiliar girl, her attention else where while she silently searched for Akio. She stood beside Satoshi, still looking around.
"Hello, Satoshi-san! Sorry to bring her and cause all this fuss... rather inevitable though. And who is this lovely girl?" she asked, her finally resting on the both of them with a kind smile.

"Eeek!" Yuzuyu shut her eyes as the new girl's fist closed in to Chris' face but unexpectedly she was sent flying in the air. But the purple-haired girl was relentless, sooner than she knew it she was back in the air aiming a kick at Chris.
"Euh... Really shouldn't we at least try to stop them?" Yuzu asked nervously. "I mean someone could really get hurt," then she noticed the lady standing next to Satoshi now.
"Oh um, it's nice to meet you! I'm Yuzuyu Katakura!" quickly she bowed her head from her seat on the floor since she still couldn't stand. Just in the last about three hours so much had happened her head was spinning. Literally.

"You just don't know when to give up do you?" Chris asked coldly as Katsuya retaliated with a round-house kick towards his legs. Swiftly he deflected her kick with a kick of his own. And while Katsu was still in mid-air infront of him he struck with his fist to her stomach, holding back a bit. The stupid cat, she just didn't know when to quit. Finally garbbin her ankle he threw her down on to the ground. "I told you you should've stopped sooner," he said brushing off his shirt.
"Miss Katakura, is your ankle alright? That was quite a fall we took down the stairs," the boy said turning around to face Yuzuyu who looked rather terrified at the scene. "This goes back much longer than today," smiling he knelt down next to her. "It's good to see you again Suzu, although I can't say the same for that damn cat..."
"Don't worry about them," Satoshi said puling out a white roll from the box. "Nobody ever dies," he assured her as he noticed her expression. "I don't know about anyone else but I'd rather not be the one who gets caught between those two."
"Good to see you again Suzu," the white/silver haired man said without even bothering to look up as he bandaged Yuzuyu's ankle. "It's nothing serious so she'll be alright by tomorrow afternoon," he said to Chris as he approached them from the side.

[I need to get online more often. -sigh- That certainly won't happen, but I will try. ]
Hotaru stepped out of the shadows, a shy look on his face. He'd been watching all the action from a slight distance, always feeling a little bit awkward when he was around Tokaru. He flipped his purple bangs out of his face and looked at his cousins. "May I help you decorate the cake?" he asked, trying to keep his voice from cracking in nervousness.
Kaida walked up the steps of Sohma house, taking a deep breath. She could hear noises coming from within the various houses on the estate, but she didn't feel comfortable with the idea of entering any of them. She couldn't even remember why she'd come in the first place. She stared at the entrance to one of the houses, contemplating her next action.
