Family maters Disclaimer: I don't own Yuki or the rest of the Sohma family. But I made up the Daniels family.

Chapter 1: Trapped

Yuki would rather be anywhere but here right now, even being with Akito. He was in a house that belonged to the Daniels family. "Hatori! You awake yet?" six-year-old Ana Daniels said through the door. Yuki was trapped at the house posing as a member of the family, Hatori Daniels.

After missing his stop on the bus, he found himself in a small city called Ocean Side. He was going to call the main house for someone to pick him up, but a girl ran up to him saying "Hatori! Its you, its really you!". She had green colored hair, wore glasses, and was wearing her school uniform. Yuki had no idea who this girl was or who Hatori was. "You don't remember me? Its your sister Joe!" She apparently thought that Yuki had amnesia and was 'reminding him' that he was kidnapped and had been missing for a month now. "I love what you did with your hair! How come you dyed it from red to purple?" She kept on going on like that while dragging Yuki to her house.

When introducing Yuki to her family it was too late for him to talk his way out of leaving. Eight year old, brown hair, blue eyes Ana, got to him with a puppy dog look and saying "Hatori you're not leaving again, right? I missed you bad." She was about to hug him, but he blocked her in time.

He decided to play along for a little while, but after asking all of their names the father put his hand on his shoulder and said "Hatori Daniels, don't you dare run off again without telling us, ok?" (He apparently was joking around) Yuki then froze. Daniels?! He thought. The whole Sohma family knew about the Daniels. They were people that could turn into different animals whenever they become nervous or are frightened. The animals that they could turn into ranged from A to Z, unlike the 12 animals (plus the cat) that he and some relatives of the Sohma family could turn into. Only the great-grandfather and grandfather of the family could turn into all of the animals, but the kids and grandkids only turned into one animal. The Sohma family and Daniels family have always been at war with each other. (It's an animal thing)

Joe led "Hatori" up to his room. Apparently Hatori must have turned into a snake, judging by all of the pictures of snakes on the walls. "Make your self at home Hatori," Joe said with a smile. "A… thanks," Yuki said. As soon as she left, he started freaking out, ok, I'm in a Daniels house and they think I'm their son. Yuki sat down on Hatori's bed. I can't leave, they think I'm Hatori. I could play along for a while and try to find Hatori in the process. Yuki eventually fell into a sleepless sleep in his thoughts.
