Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Kyo's Kitten Reika ❯ Info: I Can't WHAT? ( Chapter 13 )

Hatori wrote in his little booklet as he glanced at Kyo.

 

“I believe Shigure seemed to ignore my advice. Kyo, when a new zodiac animal is born into the world, they take over being the zodiac. There are never two of the same animals at one time. Now, a new zodiac born while the current zodiac is alive is rare, but it is not unheard of. All it means is that you are no longer cursed with the spirit of the cat.”

 

“Then why can I hug her, and why do I still feel so fuckin' bad when it rains?”

 

“Simple, because you were the cursed cat, you have the symptoms that the cat would have. The only exception is that you don't turn into, or turn anyone else, into a zodiac animal when hugged.”

 

Kyo shook his head and left the main house to pick up Reika from Ayame's.

He walked and listened to the laughter of the people around him.

 

The wind stung his face harshly, the air told of a storm yet to come, and every step he took felt like his feet were made of lead.

 

Kyo couldn't understand it. Why did the ones with problems have to be on the receiving end of trouble? Kyo knew he should have been happy that he was no longer cursed, but the feeling of him being free didn't compare to the feeling of passing it on to someone else, let alone the person he considered a daughter.

 

Kyo swung his fist in the air before him, the swooshing noise ringing in his ears.

He soon arrived at Ayame's store.

 

Ayame had a worried look on his face as he talked on the phone, but when he hung up, Ayame picked up Reika and spun her around.

 

Kyo entered the shop and shoved his hands in his pocket.

 

“Yeah, you're back!” Reika ran over to Kyo and hugged his knees.

 

Kyo picked her up and waved good-bye to Ayame before leaving and giving Reika a piggyback ride.
