Magenta blinked, and let go of Kyo. Okay, she knew that wasn't normal. She'd hugged/flirted with/did other unmentionable stuff with humans before, and none of them had done that. "You are from another planet?" That was the only thing she could think of that made sense to her. "Give him rum and get 'im drunk?" Jack suggested.

"No!" Kyo spat, still bristling. He landed somewhat gracefully on his feet, but was too angry at the moment to keep his voice down. "Damn it rat, stop snickering and DO SOMETHING!" "Well, Kyo, you know if you hadn't let yourself get hugged this wouldn't have happened," Akari told him truthfully. "Don't you go taking HIS side!" Kyo snarled at Kari. She rolled her eyes and decided to explain. "Well, I guess I better start with our names. I'm Akari Sohma. This is Kyo Sohma-" she gestured to the cat, "-and Yuki Sohma. See, the Sohma family has a terrible curse on them, er, us. We're possessed by the vengeful spirits of the Chinese Zodiac, plus the cat. I'm the rooster, Kyo's the cat that was tricked into being left out, and Yuki's the rat, the one that did the tricking. When we are under a great deal of stress, or sick, or hugged by a member of the opposite gender, we change into our animals. Although it's okay if it's two members of the zodiac. After a little while we do change back, but..." at almost the exact same moment, Kyo's body decided to change back. "...We're completely naked." Kyo scrambled into a conveniently placed closet. "Stupid cat," Yuki muttered as Akari opened the door very slightly and handed Kyo his clothes. "Just go get me some damn rope!" Johnny snarled. "It'll take Tim FOREVER to find any!"

Magenta was still a bit confused, but dropped the subject. When Kyo changed back, she had naturally glanced at his unmentionables, grinning devilishly. What? Transylvanians happened to admire the body. There wasn't anything wrong with that. She was from a different planet-- galaxy, even. Jack grinned and turned to go back to his ship. Maybe this wouldn't be a good time to mention exactly how far away his ship was...

Akari, who was a naturally talkative person, was still babbling on. "But you know it makes sense if you think about it, I mean clothes can't just pop in and out of existence and they don't fit when you change into your animal form, except Kyo's pants still fit when he takes his true fo-" Akari cut off as Kyo seemed to come out of nowhere(fully clothed) and cover her mouth. "Shut. Up," he growled. He knew he shouldn't blame her because she couldn't help being this talkative, but she should know better than to bright that up. He glanced nervously at the beads around his wrist to make sure they hadn't come off. "Uh, Jack? How far away IS the Black Pearl? Because I've never seen a whole lot of water around this place..." Johnny asked, still trying to hold Sweeney down.

Jack grinned at Johnny. "I'll jus' go get yer rope," he told the actor, then turned and raced away as fast as he could in that staggering, stumbling, waving-arms-wildly way of his. Magenta remained silent, for two reasons. First, she didn't really have anything to say, and second, the whole human-becoming-animal thing was still confusing her. But then again, she wasn't the expert on humans. If she had ever needed to know something about Earthlings, she'd ask Frank.

Akari pushed his hands away from her mouth. "Why don't you MAKE me?" she growled, narrowing her eyes as she stood on tip-toe to look him in the face. Then they both 'hmph'ed and turned away from each other. "Stupid cat, you make it so obvious that you're hiding something," Yuki said with quiet sarcasm. "SHUT UP!" Kyo spat, leaping at him and aiming a swift blow to Yuki's stomach, which the rat-boy cleverly dodged and backed up with a vicious kick to Kyo's head that launched him into the wall. Kyo glared balefully at him. "Idiots," Akari muttered, turning to walk away in a huff... Only to run right into Johnny Depp as he struggled to stand while still restraining Sweeney. There was a bright red poof of smoke, and there was a rooster where Akari had been a moment before. "DAMN IT!" she yelled furiously, feathers fluffed and looking like she was ready to kill someone. She hated her zodiac animal. I mean, a rooster is a GUY animal, and she's a girl. It made no sense that she turned into a ROOSTER. "You didn't answer my questio-huh?" Johnny Depp looked highly confused as he looked at what had been a normal human girl. Had he missed something?

Jack continued running until he was out of sight, then slowed to a walk. He glanced around, then bent down and opened a small trapdoor. So he kept stashes of weapons, rum, and rope everywhere. Didn't mean he'd give the rope to Johnny willingly. However, he did pick up the rope and start back towards the actor. Magenta frowned at the fighting boys. "Why are you two fighting?" she wanted to know.

"Because I want to be in the zodiac! It's all the rat's fault that I was left out!" Kyo snarled, aiming another blow at Yuki. Yuki dodged once more and gave him a low blow to the stomach, making him double over so he could kick him in the face. "Because he's a stupid, foolish animal that doesn't belong in the zodiac," the silver-haired boy said coldly. Kyo looked ready to kill him. "Just let them fight it out, they do this all the time," Akari muttered, trotting over to stand beside Magenta. "Really, they can hardly look at each other without making some smart-ass remark or beating each other up."

"Zodiac...?" They didn't have anything like that back on her planet. She just wasn't used to fighting. Back at the castle, when Frank had still been alive, it had pretty much been "do as Frank says or be punished". So nobody really dared to fight him. Jack sloooowly walked back with a rope. But it wasn't like he'd just hand it over. He'd see what Johnny would give him before handing over the rope.

'The Chinese Zodiac is a actually just a counting system of tens and twelves. No one knows why or when the animals were added in, but since then we've used the year of someone's birth as a way to tell their personalities and things like that. Like if your born in the year of the Rat, you're charming like Yuki, or if you're born in the year of the Rooster you're over-talkative and like being the center of attention," Akari explained. Kyo and Yuki were still fighting it out, seeing as it was the only way they could resolve any argument that came up between them. "Jack, get the hell back in here and get me some rope and I'll get ya more ruuuuum!" Johnny called, struggling to hold Sweeney back from attacking anyone.

Jack perked up, and ran the rest of the way, dragging the rope behind him. He stopped directly in front of Johnny. "So. Where's the rum?" he wanted to know, holding the rope just out of the actor's reach. He wasn't handing it over until he got his prize. Magenta gave a small nod, not really listening. She was watching the boys curiously.

Finally Kyo stopped attacking, deciding he wasn't going to beat Yuki today. "Damn it..." he muttered, punching the ground next to him. He hated loosing to Yuki. "Now that that's taken care of," Yuki turned to Magenta to introduce himself. "Hello, I'm Yuki Sohma. And you are...?" He was extremely polite and very charming. Well, as long as you weren't Kyo he was anyways. "Bag...on...floor..." Johnny muttered through gritted teeth, still restraining Sweeney as he motioned with his elbow at the little bag he had brought on the floor.

"You wouldn't be able to pronounce my real name, but you may call me Magenta," the domestic said softly, drooping a tiny bit. Just mentioning that her real name is difficult for humans to pronounce had brought on a wave of homesickness. When were she and her brother going to go back to Transsexual? Jack dropped the rope in a spot where Johnny could get it if he really tried hard, and went over to the bag to paw through it.

Yuki tilted his head to the side. "Is something wrong?" he asked. Kyo was still glaring at him, though he didn't go on the attack again. "WHY is it taking so long to change back?!" Akari snarled angrily, claws digging into the floor in anger. Her feathers were all standing on end in annoyance. Johnny nudged the rope closer with his foot, then scooped it up and tied Sweeney's hands together, sitting him at the base of a wall. "Now sit there and think about what you did," the actor said sternly.

It took Magenta a moment to realize Yuki was talking to her. "Oh. Nothing's wrong, it's just..." She sighed a little. "My brother keeps promising that we'll go home, and we haven't been able to get away from this-" she was tempted to say 'planet', but decided not to because you never knew who worked for the government, "-this place." Jack glanced over at Sweeney, having pulled a bottle of rum out of the bag and was in the process of downing the contents. "Not fun bein' tied up, eh mate?" he said to the barber.
