"Kuro! Come on! Wake up!" yelled Mahiru. I didn't answer. I didn't even move. 'Humans are so troublesome...' I thought. A few seconds later and Mahiru busted the door opened. I jumped when he did that. "Kuro! Come on! We gotta leave! I've got school and I'm not going to be late because of you!" he yelled. I looked at him. "Don't wanna..." I said. He opened the curtains. I turned into my cat form. He picked me up and put me inside his backpack. "I said I don't want to go," I said. Mahiru stopped walking. He put me down. I walked into the corner I was in and laid down. "Kuro...what's wrong?" asked Mahiru. I didn't answer. He sighed and left the room. After a while, Misono walked into the room. "Sloth, we need to talk," he said. I looked at him. I didn't answer. Lily and Hyde soon walked in. "Tsubaki wants to talk to you," said Lily. I stood up and walked to him. "Nii-san," he said.
Tsubaki turned into his fox form and walked towards me. I walked away and headed for the garden. Tsubaki, Lily, and Hyde followed me. When we reached outside, they turned into animals. I sat near daisies.
She loved daisies...She would always make a crown out of this flower...
Tsubaki in his fox form hugged me, Lily in his butterfly form landed on my head, and Hyde in his hedgehog form also hugged me. It was a group of fur balls. We stayed like that for a few minutes until Misono walked towards us. "There you are!" he said. I kept staring at the daisies.

Sleepy ash's P.O.V
"I made something for you!" she said. "What is it?" I yawned. We were in a flower field. I looked at her. In her hands, she held a flower crown made out of daisies. I sat up. "Neko-san!" she said. I walked towards her. She placed the flower crown on my head. Perfect fit. She picked me up. "Promise me that you'll be by my side," she said. "What a pain...alright. I promise..." I said.
~~~~~~~~~~~end of flashback~~~~~~~~~~~
"K---! Kuro!" yelled Misono. I looked at him. "What is it?" I asked. He sighed in relief. "Let's go back inside. We need to talk," he said while walking back. I followed him. I sat on a couch. "Lily told me everything. Don't get mad at him. I was the one who forced him to tell me," he said. I nodded. "Anyways, we made up an excuse for your behavior. You're lucky Mahiru believed it," he said.
Tell them. Tell them the curse.
No...
You only have this year! Based on my calculations, it'll happen on your birthday when the clock strikes 12.
I know that...
After a few hours, Mahiru returned. "Kuro! Let's go back to my apartment!" he said. I walked towards him and made our way back. When we arrived, I went into the darkest corner. I soon fell asleep.
Mahiru's P.O.V
When I went into my room, Kuro was sleeping. It's best not to wake him up. I changed and made some food for myself. When I finished, I started to clean. I wonder what Kuro is dreaming about. My phone started vibrating. I grabbed it and read the text message. It was from Ryusei.
Wanna hang out for a while? Me and Koyuki found this ice cream shop and we think you might like it.
Sure. I'll be there in a few minutes.
I sighed and grabbed Kuro. "Let's go Kuro! I don't want to be late!" I said while rushing out of my apartment. He yawned. "This is troublesome..." he said. I looked into the sky and noticed it was nighttime. "Hey, Kuro, can you be in your human form? I think you'll become friends with them too!" I said with a smile. He sighed and turned into his human form. We soon arrived and Kuro yawned. "Hey Mahiru-Kun!" said Koyuki. He turned to Kuro. "And who might you be? My name is Koyuki," he asked. Kuro looked away. "His name is Kuro! I met him a few days ago and I wanted him to come. I hope you don't mind," I said. Koyuki nodded. "Wait...isn't 'Kuro' your cats' name?" asked Ryusei. Crap..."His name is too long so I call him 'Kuro' for short," I said. They both sighed. "Classic Mahiru. Nice to meet you Kuro!" said Koyuki. Kuro yawned once more.
We walked into the store. "What flavor do you want, Kuro?" I asked. He thought about it. "I don't want any," he said. He soon walked out of the store. "What's up with him?" asked Ryusei. What should I do? "Yesterday, he met his father again after a few years of being separated!" I said. They looked at each other. "Yeah...I understand that. Maybe we should leave him alone for now," said Koyuki. We all nodded. I looked back at Kuro. He was staring at the full moon. He looked...pained.
Kuran/Kuro's P.O.V
What a pain..."Humans are such monsters..." I whispered. When I turned around, Mahru was standing there in shock. Crap. "Uh...Are you sure you don't want ice cream?" asked Mahiru. "I'm sure," I responded. Hopefully, he didn't hear me. Mahiru's friends were such a pain. They kept asking me questions and questions. If I could, I would like to cut off their tounges.
N----an! I-- me! T----ki!
Tsubaki! Where are you?! Are you alright?!
Mahiru soon noticed my facial expression. "Kuro, is something wrong?" asked Mahiru. I didn't answer but instead I ran away. My vision started to get blurry. "Nii-san!" yelled a familiar voice. It was Hyde. He was injured badly. "Lawless!" I shouted while I ran to him. "Hyde?! What happened?!" yelled Mahiru while he walked closer to us. His two friends followed him. "Is he ok?!" yelled the boy with brown hair. I felt like...I wanted to back them off. "How did this happen?!" I yelled. "I was walking with Tsubaki when we heard a loud noise. We rushed to the sound but someone knocked out Tsubaki. I managed to fight the guy but he--!" yelled Lawless when I hugged him. "It's ok. I promise I'll kill that bastard. I'll kill him..." I said. Mahiru and his friends seemed scared.
I stood up. "Mahiru. Take care of my little brother for me. I'll be right back with Tsubaki...and that bastards head," I said while walking away. I'll kill him.
"It-u-i-san!Happy birthday!"
"Thanks...I guess..."
Should we kill him now? It's been a while since you released the murderous intent.
What a pain...Alright. I'm only doing this for my siblings. I'm sorry...Atsuko...
??? P.O.V
"I'm sorry...Neko-san. Because of me...the curse has been activated. Because of me...because of that stupid curse!" I yelled. Tears came down my cheeks. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!
