Everyone had a different definition of love.. everyone craved a different type of love.. some craved  love from parents.. some craved love from siblings.. others craved friendship love.. and the rest craved romance. Sohma (Name) was like that.

You sighed, looked upon the stairs that you would have to climb to get to Shigure's house. There were at least 50 of them. "There's so many stairs!" You puffed out, exhausted from the bike ride from Ayame's house to Shigure's. Why were you biking to Shigure's house? let me explain.

Sohma (Name), just like her brother Sohma Yuki was neglected by her parents, and received very little love from them, but thankfully her brothers loved her much more then her parents ever could. She lived with her brother, Ayame. And on the weekends or during holidays, she liked staying with Yuki, hence why she was biking to Shigure's house

While I was explaining this.. (Name) had finally conquered the 50 steps, as you yet again let out a huge sigh. "They really should get an escalator." You mumbled to herself, knocking on the door.

"Coming!" A voice was heard, before a brunette, with big curious eyes opened the door. "Sohma-chan! Welcome home!!" She announced, giving you a big smile. "I'm home Honda-san!" You replied, returning her smile.

Honda Tohru.. a young girl around the same age as Yuki who had been taken in by Shigure. She's been living with them for about a year now, she was a very kind person, and always cheered the people around her, up. And whenever you stayed at Shigure's, she was your roommate.

"Were you making dinner? Do you want help?" You asked, entering the house, and placing the bag full of gifts, Ayame had sent for Yuki, down. "Of course, if you'd like to help!" Just as you began, walking towards the living room, you heard the voice of Hatsuharu Sohma.

And unconsciously stopped, before you knew it, your heart beat picked up, and you could feel heat crawling on to your cheeks. "..on second thought, I might go say hi to Yuki-nii-chan, first." You mumbled out quickly, rushing the other direction.

"Oh god, my hair is so messy! I should've asked Ayame-nii to brush it!!" You cursed yourself, rushing up the stairs. "I'm a mess today.."

You knocked on Yuki's door, excited to see his reaction to Ayame's gift. You stood in silence and well.. darkness. It took a while but his door did eventually open: "You're visits are much more frequent, these days." He greeted you, unlike most brotherly love he didn't tackle you nor did he hug you.

But he did offer you a smile and ruffle your hair. It was Ayame who risked turning into a Zodiac for brotherly affection.

Ah, let me explain. There are two reasons why (Name)-chan's love story isn't a normal one. Reason number 1: almost all the teens of the private Sohma family had a curse. One which if they hugged a person with the opposite gender, they would shape-shift into animals of the zodiac.

However the curse didn't apply when a fellow zodiac hugged another fellow zodiac. Which (Name) wasn't but her brothers and Hatsuharu were. And the Reason number 2: Hatsuharu had been dumped, by his former girlfriend Isuzu Sohma.

A member of the zodiac, a beautiful, independent, confident woman, and like you.. Hatsuharu's childhood friend and first love. It would take so much time and love to even get him to look at (Name) as a woman.

Yuki waved a hand in-front of your face when you didn't respond to him. You snapped out of your daze, blinking a few times. "My bad! Did you want to see this weeks gifts from Ayame-nii?" You asked as Yuki groaned.

Last week it was a blue bikini for Yuki, saying it would match his eyes, coincidentally.. Tohru had gotten one too. And the week before it was a wedding dress for Yuki.. adorned with blue pearls. And you don't even want to remember what he gave Yuki 2 weeks ago.

He grabbed the gifts and chucked it into his room, hoping to forget about it. You laughed at his actions. He ushered you down the stairs, as you quickly fixed your hair.

It had been two days since you had comforted Haru from his break up, you hadn't seen him since that night. You gave him the best advice you could, but no matter what you said, his mind was still on Rin. For a moment, you felt slightly bad. It felt as if you were betraying Rin. An older sister figure who had always supported you.

In fact you had tried to get over Haru multiple times, you ignored the heart thump, the jealousy, you even dated other men to forget about Haru. But eventually you gave up, now that the two had broken up, you had a chance, yet the familiar feeling that you're betraying Rin returned. How could you butt in, when the two obviously loved each other?

You ran a hand through your hair, and followed Yuki into the living room, where Momiji, Haru and Kyo sat. Kyo, was the first to notice you, he simply nodded towards you, before diverting his attention. While he didn't hate you, he wasn't fond of you either, but you were the most tolerable out of all your siblings.

"(Name)-chan!" You heard Momiji yell, as Haru too looked in your direction, his eyes met yours. And he offered you a wave. "(Name)."
