[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
"Laurie. I want you to meet the rest of them" Amber said. Laurie gulped down a huge lump in her throat, she had only found out a few minutes ago, and a part from meeting her dad, her mom and one of her two half brothers she never met anyone more than that (well..except her cousin..obviously.. considering she had a huge crush on him).
"Are all of your relatives like this.. do they all turn into animals?" Laurie said looking at Angel.
"no" Angel said "only 12 others"
Laurie let out a long sigh 'maybe theres a chance kyo isn't one of them.. it would sure give me less of a chance if that was true' Laurie thought inside her mind quietly.
Laurie nodded, telling Angel that it was okay that she met the rest of them in small doses.
"Where would we start?" Laurie said, smiling.
"We can go visit my cousins and half brother.."
Lauries heart skipped a few beats.. she knew that one of her cousins happened to be kyo and there was a chance she'd get to see him.
"Where do they live?" Laurie asked cheerfully
"Out in the woods a ways away from here" Amber said, pulling on her shoes. "we're leaving now"
"Angel.. isn't it alittle-" She noticed that Angel was gonna take her wether she liked it or not so might as well think about it possitively.
Laurie ran to the bathroom to take off the bandage, she brushed her hair and put on her shoes going off to join her friend as she walked through the door.

"How far away is this?"Laurie complained after walking for an hour through the woods.
"Just alittle futher" just as she said that they walked into a clearing where a nice sized house sat, a few holes were in the walls, most likely from something ramming into the side. Laurie looked at it with wide eyes "It sure is beautiful"
A girl stepped out and looked at the two passing girls. It was Tohru.
Laurie paniced "This is Honda's house!" Laurie bushed and hid behind a bush, Angel knew that if they had stumbled across hitlers house she would have reacted in a cool manner but Tohru in Lauries mind was much more.
"Tohru lives with them." Angel said coolly
"Lives with who?" Laurie asked about to snap if she heard a certain name.
"Shigure, Yuki and "Angel saw the look on Lauries face and gulped the last name "Kyo" Laurie clenched her hands into fists and looked at her best friend, her eye twiched a bit "lucky" Thats all she said before she put on a big smile and shot in front of Tohru "Hi! Just coming to visit" Laurie squealed at Tohru. "This is Angel, Yuki's sister."
"Oh how nice. I didn't know he had a sister" Tohru said in a sweet voice
"We try to not to share bonds in school so I can avoid the fangirls" Angel said quietly.
Tohru showed them inside gingerly, showing them around like a proud housewife.
"Listen Tohru, I wanted Lauren to talk to my brother and my two cousins.. can you call them into the kitchen so we can speak quietly."
"Sure thing" Tohru said in a tone that lauren heard on a childs TV show once and never wanted to hear it again.
"That girl is way too nice"Laurie whispered to Angel "Its kinda creepy"
"Just go with it" Angel whispered back.
Laurie followed Angel into the kitchen and waited.. she walked around looking at everything, waiting for Angels family. Three boys walked in, two were her classmates, Yuki and Kyo and the third she had never met before. Laurie blushed at the site of kyo, getting a long mean glare from Angel.
"Laurie, you know Yuki and Kyo.. and the dark haired one is Shigure."
Shigure came up to Laurie, a strange look gleaming in his eyes. Laurie blushed harder "Hello." He said smiling "So I take it you're in high sch-" His last word was cut off by Yuki smacking him across the head. "sorry for my cousin's behavor" Yuki said.
Kyo stood at the back leaning against the wall like he didn't care. Lauries eyes kept wandering towards him.
Angel grabbed all three of them and pulled them to the side, "Listen.. she knows about the curse but theres a problem.."
everyone stood quietly as Angel explain
"Somethings going wrong with our transformations.. I know it." She said whispering so no one but them could hear.
She pulled Kyo's ear. "I'm sure there was something wrong with you.. spending the whole day as a cat cant be nomal for you.. its just a matter of time before the other part kicks in"
Kyo looks at her angerly and then gulped, he couldn't aford anything like that to happen.
"watch." Angel said pointing to Laurie. "hug her"
"Are you crazy?!"
"If I tell Laurie to attack she'll do it herself.. its just easier this way." Angel smirked
"I'll do it" Yuki stepped forward
"Oh no you won't you damn rat" Kyo pushed him out of the way, he'd never let Yuki upstage him in anything he ran up to Laurie, grabbing her and embracing her from behind.. he waited for the 'poof' and the small tingles that usually ran down his spine from the transmutation... but it never came.
Laurie blushed wildly.
They all took turns hugging her, making Laurie unusually uncomforable.
"I have a stange feeling about this." Yuki said looking at Angel.
