AN: okay, the set up is, Kaname asked Zero to come over yesterday because he had to talk to him, only it turns out the water or something in all the night class boy's dorms was contaminated. Now they all have ears and tails and have been quarantined to the moon dorms until a cure is made. Ruka and Rima are sharing Zero's room in the chairman's building, and Seiren will be rooming with Yuuki.

Day 1 in the Animal Kingdom
"Damn vampires water pollution." Zero grumbled as he was escorted to the moon dorms by Yuuki.
"Oh, cheer up, Zero. Having ears and a tail can't be that bad." Yuuki said. She saw a twitch under his black woollen hat and one of his pant legs move in irritation.
"Damn pureblood, inviting me over there in the first place." Zero continued. Seeing that Zero wasn't very enthusiastic about his new neko appearance, Yuuki tried another angle.
"Well at least you don't have to go to school and you've been relieved of prefect duties." Zero turned to glare at her.
"Yay, no dealing with vampires at switch-overs and all night. Now I get to live with them 24/7!" he yelled. Yuuki sighed and gave up. She could sense the negative aura around Zero as they approached the gates to the moon dorms. The old man stood up and opened it for them and they went inside. Yuuki pushed open the large door, Zero following behind her, a miserable scowl still in place. Yuuki didn't manage to hold back a smirk when she saw what was waiting for them inside. The night class boys were gathered in the common room, sitting on the couches. She knew they'd all changed similarly to Zero, but she hadn't seen the rest of them yet. Kain had small rounded black ears and the black and white striped tail of a skunk. Lovely, she and Zero thought sarcastically, resisting raising an eyebrow. Takuma was adorned with large pink ears and a skinny pink mouse tail. Cute, she thought. Shiki had rounded white ears and a slender striped white tiger tail. Cool. Kaname had pointed dark brown ears and a shaggy wolf/dog tail. Suits him. But the oddest sight that met them, was Aido with floppy white bunny ears and a puff ball tail. As soon as they entered, everyone looked over at them. Kaname stood up and walked over to them with an uncharacteristic grin on his face, his tail wagging behind him near the floor.
"Yuuki!" he said, wrapping his arms around her. Yuuki giggled as the doggy vampire hugged her, wrapping her arms around him as she patted him on the head. Kaname froze before removing himself from her, clearing his throat and composing himself.
"I see you brought Zero." He said, nodding towards the silver-haired prefect. Yuuki nodded and went over to Zero, wrapping her arms around him. Zero let out a quiet sigh as Yuuki pulled his hat off, revealing his grey ears.
"Isn't he cute?" Yuuki asked, still hugging Zero tightly as she watched for Kaname's reaction. She was distracted by the brunette's tail wagging when she was suddenly thrown off by Zero. She stumbled, almost falling before Kaname caught her. They looked at each other, smiling.
"Regardless of his change in appearance, it seems the Zero Kiryuu we all know and love hasn't changed a bit." Kaname smirked at her. Zero didn't react, but there were some guffaws from the other night class boys, particularly Aido.
"Well, I better go. Chairman asked me to help the night class girls get settled." Yuuki said, reluctantly breaking off from Kaname. Oh well, she'd get to see them all later, though not to their knowledge. Kaname had sad puppy eyes as she turned around, waving to them all before leaving. The atmosphere was instantly more tense now that Zero was there alone with a bunch of vampires.
"Alright, lets see your tail." Kaname said, crossing his arms. Zero sighed, rolling his eyes as he pulled his tail out. It was covered in sleek grey fur, matching his touchably soft ears.
"Cute." Kaname said, smiling. Zero blushed but didn't get a chance to retort as Kaname turned around, motioning with his hand for Zero to follow.
"Come. Your sleeping in my room." Kaname said. Zero now noticed that Kaname was barefoot and was actually wearing grey pyjama pants and a simple black t-shirt instead of his usual uniform or formal wear. It was relaxing to see Kaname so at home and Zero actually found himself smiling as he followed the pureblood to his room.
"And so the relationship between dog and cat begins." Kain said quietly, smirking as they left. As soon as the other two were out of sight, Aidou got up and started doing cartwheels and somersaulting around the room. He'd barely been able to hold himself in, but now he could let it out. Kain face palmed as he watched his goofy cousin bounce around the room.
"I can't believe I'm stuck rooming with you while you're like this." He said.
"Well, Kain, if he becomes too annoying you can probably spray him." Shiki pointed out.
"No thanks." Kain said, preferring not to shoot strange things out his arse, though he was glad he was a skunk and not a spider, as cool as that may seem to some people.
"Hey, you know how we're all mammals?" Takuma asked. Kain and Shiki nodded lazily.
"Do you think there's a chance one of us could have turned into a dolphin? They're mammals right?" Takuma asked. Kain shrugged.
"I don't know. You could probably ask Aido, but he seems a bit distracted right now." He said. Takuma nodded, still wondering what one of them may look like as part dolphin.
"You don't suppose we'll turn into furries do you? Growing fur all over out bodies?" Shiki queried, propping his chin on his hand.
"I hope not. That'd be pretty weird." Kain said. Suddenly there was a loud bang as Aido bumped into one of the walls. Takuma squeaked, scurrying under the coffee table to hide.
"It's okay, Taku. It was just Aido." Shiki said. Takuma poked his head out and looked up at Shiki.
"Sorry, this is wreaking havoc on my brain and behaviour." He said, crawling back out from under the table.
"Yeah." Shiki agreed, "I just hope we don't have to separate the herbivores from the rest of us so we don't end up eating each other." He said sadly. Takuma nodded.
"Well, I'm going to bed. Are you coming, Takuma?" Shiki asked, yawning as he stood up.
"Yeah. Goodnight, Kain. Good luck with Aido." Takuma said.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow." Kain replied, also getting up to go to his own room.
"Goodnight, Aido." They all said, not expecting him to respond, and not disappointed.

So, what'd you think? Also, let me know if you think they should become furries or not. Also also, let me know if this should have an mpreg. I might just do it near the end as an epilogue or something, but it probably won't be the main focus of the story.
