Sohma x Reader: Part 2

Sohma x Reader: Part 2

I continued looking through the window. "Do you know what this means?!" Makis voice was excited and I could tell he jumped away from the window. "We found people like you! The Sohmas are part of this curse you have."

My head snapped towards him. "Sohma's?" I asked and he nodded. "I thought you knew that was their name. _____? Is there something wrong?" He asked and I paused. I didn't want to tell him that those people were the ones my mother didn't want me to come in contact with. "_____?" Maki asked again and I looked at him.

"You can't tell them. The secret still stands." I informed him and Maki looked slightly hurt. I walked up to stand in front of him. "I can't let anyone know. Mom sent me away from them for a reason and I want to find out what it is. Give me time." He shifted from foot to foot and I could tell the feels he had for keeping my curse was getting to be a toll on him. "Please?"

Without looking at me Maki nodded and hugged me. A cloud of gray surrounding us. I changed into a small raven and Maki caught me before I landed on the floor. "I'll keep your secret." He whispered and I smiled inside.

For the next few weeks Maki and I kept a close eye on the Sohma family. We hung out with them while keeping our best possible distance.

"Shigure! Hitori!" Tohru yelled across the crowded room. Today was one of the annual festivals the school held to show what the students could do. (A/N My brain has decided to say "I know what you're talking about but I'm not giving you the name." F#@$ you brain.) I glanced over at who Tohru was calling and noticed two males: one in a kimono and one in a suit. The Sohmas rushed over to the elder men to talk with them.

"I don't want to shake your tail feathers _____ but we should get going. We have to watch the play we set up all this time to do." Maki said and I glared at him before following suit. As we left I couldn't help but  notice Shigure and Hitori were staring in my direction.

****Hours later****
"I'm going outside for a moment." I told Maki. He nodded in response and I walked out the double doors in the direction of the gardens. It was a quiet place because all the people in the gardening club were attending to the live flowers that surrounded the festival. A robin flew over to my shoulder and took a seat happy to tell me about it's adventure around the school grounds. I smiled and chatted with it for a moment before it flew off again to join his family on a near branch.

"That's an amazing gift you have there Miss _____." A voice said behind me. I turned to see the man in the kimono that was surrounded by the Sohma children earlier. I smiled in response.  

"It's not a gift. I mean, animal can't really talk, Mr.?"

He smiled chuckling softly. "I'm sorry. Shigure Sohma. Tohru's told me all about you." Shigure took a seat beside me on the bench and glanced up at the sky for a moment. "I know animals can't talk but they sometimes do. For certain people that is." Something about the way he said it set alarms off in my head.

I stood up and continued with my smiling. "I don't know what you mean by that Mr. Sohma but I must be going now. My classmates must be wondering where I am by now." With that I set off for the direction back to the classroom where the art department was. Where I knew Maki would be.

"I think you know exactly what I mean, Miss _____." Shigure was starting to irritate me. I wasn't going to let him win this one though. I turned to see him standing up and walking toward me. "I hate to be rash but being the year of the dog, that is, I tend to want to sniff out the interesting."

The closer he got the more I wanted to kick him and run away. He got close enough to hug me and I pushed him away with full force. Looking down at his somewhat shocked expression I walked away. Yes, he was pleasing on the eye and in another universe I would have a total crush. But this was reality. And I wasn't going to let anyone hug me.

Or so I thought.

Shigure came up from behind me. I closed my eyes as I could feel him hug me. I knew the transformation was coming and my secret would be out. Opening my eyes I noticed I wasn't covered in feathers.

'Wha--?' My mind screamed. 'What went wrong?' Mom always said that if anyone of the opposite sex were to hug me, I would change. She never told me however what it mean if I didn't....

"We found you." His words chilled me and I froze.

This was starting to look much worse than me transforming into a bird.
