The echoes of a slap could be heard through the room. You could feel the stinging sensation in your cheek. You were slapped across the face by none other than head, Akito Sohma. For a reason as stupid as asking for freedom, for the right to step outside.
You, (Name) Sohma, were a part of the Sohma family, a part of the curse. But what's unusual was your animal wasnt a zodiac, you were the 14th member. The Panda, a young, small panda.
You looked at Akito, once more. You couldn't help but glare at him. In that moment you had to decided to run for your life, to run and never come back. And you knew exactly where to go Shigure Sohma, and Yuki Sohma. And exactly as you planned, you ran.
Due to the constant build of stress and pressure along with the physical challenges of running away you had transformed into your zodiac form along the way. But it didn't matter.
You just kept running, something you are far too good at. But you, (Name) were running for your life, running to the only people you thought could trust. There was no other choice, if you stayed with Akito... you would only lose yourself even more.
And before you knew it you were there. Exhausted and out of breath, perhaps even on the verge of collapse. You circle Shigure's home before pausing when you heard an unfamiliar voice,"Uh, good morning! Sorry for snooping around!" You knew it wasn't safe running while being transformed espically when someone unfamiliar was there but you had no choice.
You ran right into.. "Huh! Who's this?" The voice spoke while picking you up, Shigure instantly recognized you, and his eyes widened but he took you from her. "Oh this! Its uh, my pet!" He responded to her, holding you gently in his arms.
"Aw, how cute! Pandas are a weird pet though? Your zodiac figurines are adorable too!" She said, making small talkZJust then Yuki Sohma walked out, and upon laying his eyes on you he froze. His eyes curiously staring at why you were here."Hello Honda-san, hope my cousin here isnt causing any trouble." Yuki politely said, smiling at the girl. He turned his attention to you, softly resting his hand above your head, "I'm glad to see your all right."
As they all spoke to one and another, you slowly driffted of to sleep. Your exhaustion had caught up to you, but the feeling of finally knowing you were safe was stronger and you couldn't help but rest your eyes.

You woke up in an unusual room, you frantically looked around and saw a few clothes cleanly laid down for you. You change into the new clean clothes before making your way downstairs. "Shigure-san..?" You called out quietly, as the male turned his attention to you. He offered you a smile.
"Ah! (Name)-chan! Your awake! Good Morning! Or evening as I should say!" He said as cheerful as always. You slightly nod your head in acknowledgement, finding the atmosphere to be rather tense. "Yuki, and I are going out for dinner, would you like to join us?" He asks, carefully observing you.
"Sure!" You say, the excitement evident in your voice. Akito had barely ever allowed you to leave the estate so you wanted to use this to your best ability.

"God! Its so hard to get dinner everynight!" Shigure complained, as the three of you made your way to go get food. "Forget that! (Name) are you alright? You have bruise on your cheek." Yuki spoke, his eyes staring at you full of worry. "Yeah, you know Akito, always getting harsh." You say, laughing to yourself, however Yuki simply frowned in response.
"Nothing new. As expected." He mumbled before giving you a bitter smile. It was expected, everyone in the zodiac knew."How have you been Yuki? Shigure-San?" You ask attempting to change the conversation. You and Yuki had a decent relationship, he cared for you as a brother. As did Shigure. In fact, everyone in the zodiac, protected you.
"We're fine. everything being the same as usual. Yuki being awful at cooking and I writing to the best of my possibilities." Shigure responded, patting your head, and offering you a kind smile.
"Don't touch her, you pervert." Yuki grumbled, shooing the older male away a"Hey Yuki?" You call out, noticing something weird."Yeah?" Yuki asked, glancing in your directing, as he gave you his undirected attention
"Is that not the girl from this morning? I might be mistaken though." You say, pointing towards the brunette who was walking to what looks like a tent."Ah! The lovely lady from this morning!" Shigure confirmed, as you stared the brunette from this morning. Yuki observed the girl carefully, "Honda-San?"
