The Curse of a Bear (Kyo Sohma FanFic)

Chapter 4

Your P.O.V.-

You wake up in a room with white walls and a bunch of full book shelves scattered along the walls. You sit up in the blue bed and look down at your...paws?

"No! No, no, no...this can't be happening. They can't know. Why did they have to come and help me?! I bet it was all that evil rat's fault! He just has to ruin everything!" you yell still staring angrily at your paws. Just then, Kyo bursts through the door with a worried expression.

"Are you ok?" he asks franticly looking around the room for any sign threat.

"Do I look ok?! I'm a bear and you know it! No one was EVER supposed to know!" you scream. Your beads start to sting again, so you take a few deep breaths and quickly calm down.

*POOF*

Kyo makes this really funny yelling sound as he hurriedly turns around before the smoke clears. You would have laughed if it wasn't for the fact that you had just changed back into your regular form completely naked. You put on the spare clothes that were neatly folded in the corner of the room for you. You let Kyo know when you finished changing and he turns around completely red.

"I-I'm so sorry. I didn't see anything I swear!" he says flustered. You laugh humorlessly as you walk over and lay a hand on his shoulder.

"It's ok. Now I'm hungry. Where's the kitchen?"

"Oh. It's down the stairs to your right. Shigure and Yuki are already down there," he replies while gesturing towards the stair case right outside the room you were in. you follow him down the stairs and into an open room with a small table in the middle. Yuki and Shigure are already sitting at the table, eating take out and they look up as you enter.

"Well good morning ____. Glad to see you up," Shigure greets with a smile.

"Yeah, me too," you reply with a half-hearted smile as you sit down across from Yuki and next to Kyo. You grab one of the boxes and start shoveling its contents into your mouth.

"Why did you call Naminé ____?" Kyo asks with a confused look towards Shigure.

"You go by Naminé now? Why?" Shigure asks you taking on the same expression Kyo is still wearing. You set down the empty box and swallow the remaining food in your mouth. You hesitate and debate the pros and cons of telling the truth.

You decide against it and reply, "It's nothing and none of your business."

"So ____ is your real name?" Kyo asks in disbelief.

"Yes," you reply shortly. You are getting kind of uncomfortable about all the truth getting out, even if it is just a small amount, because the truth can mean life or death.

"Is Jung you real last name?" he continues and looks straight at you, but doesn't notice your well hidden unease.

"No, but that's none of your concern either." You say looking Kyo in the eye.

"I'm guessing that you aren't from Korea," he states, keeping the eye contact. You are slightly surprised because no one has ever been able to do that.

"That's right. I'm not."

"Then, where are you from?" Shigure looks over at you and opens his mouth to answer for you, but you beat him to it.

"The U.S."

"Your parents?" Shigure again almost answers for you when you hesitate in surprise but you again answer first.

"Here"

"Was anything that you told us at school true?"

"Yes, but I would rather not say what."

"You really are secretive aren't you?" Kyo states more than asks. You frown as you realize he is starting to get irritated. This is last thing you wanted to happen.

"Yes, I have to be. Do you have a problem with that?"

"No, but now I have a question that you have to answer. Why did your beads start glowing?" Yuki and Shigure nod in agreement signaling that they had the same question.

"I was angry," you put simply, but when nobody says anything you elaborate, "The beads hold back and control my anger, so when I got angry, they activated and drained it, causing the pain in my ankle and me passing out."

"Finally, a straight answer. Now, why did you change into a bear?"

"Because you picked me up. I change when hugged by the opposite sex."

"Why a cub?" he asks with confusion written all over his face.

"Because, stupid, I'm not an adult."

"Now I have a question," Yuki states after being completely silent the entire time you've been there, "Who exactly are you looking for?"

"He never told me his name and I don't remember what he looks like. All I know is what he did for me and that he told me that he runs a dojo nearby."

"If you're looking for him, then why are you attending high school?" Shigure asks, his eyes full of curiosity.

Your gaze drops down to your hands that rest in your lap as you reply, "When I first arrived here two weeks ago, I was determined to find him. After three days, I found the dojo, but he was nowhere to be found. I returned the next day and heard him inside, but at the last minute, I got really nervous and walked away without saying a single word to him. Then, I started thinking that if I gave myself a brand new start with a new name in a new place, I would be able to forget the past that has plagued me since I last saw that man, so I decided to start high school and to try to be normal for the first time in my life."

"What exactly did he do for you?" Kyo asks curiously.

"He returned my beads to me after they had been removed for about two years," you answer deciding not to lie or avoid the question.

"Oh, speaking of dojos, Kazuma called and said he's stopping by later," Shigure states looking meaningfully at Kyo.

"Who's Kazuma?" you ask, wondering how he's related to a dojo.

"He's my master," Kyo states simply.

"Who knows, he may even be your mystery man." Shigure suggests before standing and skipping up the stairs.
