[IC] Black Butler: Curse of the Zodiac

[MegaraFoxfire]

She nodded, not buying it but went inside to meet the rest of the group. She bowed and said "sorry for intruding. Lady Margaret Shade, at your service"

Bane was curled up on the floor, hitori standing by the window. Bane said "my partner is at the house now...I can sense her"

[Luna]

Hatori looked over at Bane before looking back at the computer doing research wondering what caused Tohru to react the way she did the other night typing rather fast.

They bowed "So you are here to help Miss Honda am I correct" Yuki said with his usual calmness as Kyo glared at each of them

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane looked up and asked "Doctor what are you working on?"

She nodded nad said "and your family as well. I was brought in by Ms. Honda to help your family. But now I must know everything that has happened the past month"

[Luna]

"Finding what caused Tohru to freak out the way she did it isnt panic disorder I know that but it has to be something" he said

"Nothing really but Miss Honda's attitute changed from its usual cheeriness to a flinchy nervous attitude and we had no idea why she wouldn't tell us either"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane sat up and said "Doctor, its not a medical problem...her natural senses were warning her of a threat. Its a trait humans still share with animals"

Maggie nodded, looking around. Then she asked "Well, that's not everything. As you might know, I'm a sage of sorts. And sages can sense magic energies...and this room is full of them. So shall we skip the 'its nothing' or 'I don't know what your talking about's and get to the maybe reason why your family is being targeted? First lets start off with this rumor I heard that the Soma family is cursed" Tohru dropped the plate of food she had been carrying, stunned.

[Luna]

"Hmm but still...I have to at least check because that can lead to panic disorders" he said seriously side glancing him "How is that you can talk when you yourself are an animal"

The other Somas froze and Yuki stared at her heard "Where did you hear that rumour our family never said such things ever" he said as Tohru shook a little 'Could she somehow know' she thought watching them

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane chuckled and said "whoever said I was just an animal?"

Maggie smiled and said "no where. You all just proved my point. Anyone normally wouldn't have looked so panicked as you all just did. Don't worry, it's part of my contract to protect my clients interests, including secrets. So, whose going to let the cat out of the bag? Either you tell me or I figure it out on my own, which will waste time I could be solving the problem"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane chuckled and said "whoever said I was just an animal?"

Maggie smiled and said "no where. You all just proved my point. Anyone normally wouldn't have looked so panicked as you all just did. Don't worry, it's part of my contract to protect my clients interests, including secrets. So, whose going to let the cat out of the bag?

[Luna]

He blinked "What do you mean"

The others nodded as she returned with a very nervous look on her face as Sebastian stared at her with his eyes before he smiled and sat down drinking the drinks that were served but he was obviously on guard.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane chuckled and his eyes glowed gold. "Like I said....I'm no normal animal..." He looked around and said "Seems the game is about to start...my partner is getting the rules of the match now...then we will start this game with our foe..."

Maggie looked around again and said "Please...all I wish to do is help...but I can't do that without knowing everything my foe may know... and I know they know more then I" Tohru sighed and looked at the boys. They were her family. But she had to help Maggie save them. She said "Well...we can start the way we did...sorry guys" She jumped forward and hugged Yuki, knowing he wouldn't mind as much as Kyo. There was a flash of smoke and where Yuki was was a grey rat, sitting on the table.

[Luna]

Hatori looked at Bane with confusing before going back o whatever he was doing on his compute with a sigh.

Sebastian chuckled at seeing the rat that replaced Yuki as Cie continued to sit there unfazed by what happened considering that he seen a lot of things since their contract began.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane looked out the window, the grin gone from his face. Then he said to the doctor and head of the family "this curse...what does it intail, and yes I know about it, I can smell it from a mile away"

Maggie blinked then said "a contact curse...,that's new. I'm guessing it only happens when a girl touches you?" Tohru nodded and Maggie looked at Shigura. "Mind filling me in on the details?"

[Luna]

"We are cursed to become animals of the chinese zodiac if we are hugged by the opposite gender that is not inside the family" he said sadly as he looked up at Bane

Shigure told her what was the curse was about as everyone listened, including the ones who didn't know about the curse at all

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane faced him and nodded, thinking it thru. "Interesting...you don't see these cursed very much...but it would explain why someone is after your family. Would you mind calling all those cursed to the main house? I think my partner will want to talk to everyone..."

Maggie listened carefully then stood and said "If you would pardon me for a few minutes, I need to speak to my friends for a few moemnts" When they walked out into the back yard Maggie looked at Ciel and Sebastian. "We have a big problem...if I've heard everything right, I fear all those cursed are in danger. Someone could be after the magic that is tied to those cursed..."

[Luna]

"I dont know not all of them like to be contacted very much" he said trailing off with a sigh before he looked at his cellphone. "Plus Akito might not be so willing to talk..."

"Indeed we do and the only person who knows about this outside of the family i Miss Honda" Ciel said thinking about it. Sebastian looked back at the others before looking at Maggie "What are we going to do" he said

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane stood up and said "Tell him that if he really wants his family safe...he will want my partners help. Its what we do. And really...we are the only ones who can help"

Maggie paced for a few minutes then said "First we need to get everyone in one place. The main house is likely the best place. High walls, easy to keep an eye out...then see if anyone else has had the same feelings has Ms. Honda...meaning we need to get all of those cursed in the same room...lastly, Bane and I will need to get a better idea of who this could be. Not just anyone can send demons like the creatures you and Bane dealt with last night, Sebastian"

[Luna]

He nodded and called Akito telling him about what was happening and who was able to help with the sitation pale the entire time since Akito never really accepted outsiders.

Sebastian nodded in agreement "What about Miss Honda's friends they are in danger as well....I heard that the master of the family is not very friendly to people outside of the family...." he said glancing back at the small house "Plus I think Kyo is not going to be very willing with the plan at all"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Bane sat and listened to the call, his head tilted.

Maggie nodded and said "We bring everyone in...and I'll have a talk with this Akito...and Kyo. We have to put this family's safety first. The others will just have to deal with it...even if I have to fight the family as well, I will to do my job. I was hired for a job and I will carry it out, no matter what."
