Revised. Just incase anyone has this on their alert list, this is just a revision of my story.

It was a lovely day. The sun was out, the clouds were a pure white, and the crisp air would only blow when the sun popped up from behind its covering cloud. Even though the day was absolutely perfect it would have been made even better if Kyo and Yuki could get along on their walk that day. Tohru and Kisa tried in vein to settle their arguments as they strolled through the Sohma grounds.
"Guys! Come on, its such a nice day!" Tohru commented, looking up at the sky as proof.
Kyo shrugged. Yuki tried to continue her conversation and said flatly, "Yes it is Miss. Honda though," he looked up at the clouds pondering, and everyone leaned in to hear his next statement. "I think we may get some rain." Just as Kisa and Tohru looked to the sky to see if he was correct, Yuki added with a sneer, "And we all know how cats are in the rain."
Kyo straightened up at the sound of being insulted, "Hey, Rat boy! I didn't do anything to you today but if you want to go! Then let's go! I'll beat you're ass to the ground!"
Yuki yawned, bord with the repeative threat. Kisa made sure to hold onto Tohru and Tohru made sure to search her memory for a good saying her mom had told her that would end this fight. Unfortunately she had used up all her good arguments before hand and now could only stand between them, unable to move: begging them to stop.
The tension between the feline and rodent began to rise. Yuki waited to dodge whatever pathetic throw Kyo had and Kyo was waiting for the idiot Tohru to get out of the way. Neither of these things happened. They were all distracted the moment a high cry called out:
"Ah! Ito! You're awful!"
The four hikers looked towards the caller. A young, blonde girl ran out of the woods where they had heard the intial cry. She was apparently being followed by another person; she kept twisting around see her persuer and she didn't pay attention to where she was going. With her upper body awkwardly facing behind her, she ran forward yelling back at the same time. She ended up colliding with both Yuki and Kyo.
She carefully stood up and looked below her, "Oh my God." She giggled a bit then graciously and easily helped the boys to their feet. "I am so sorry!"
Just then a young boy, with broad shoulders and short, brown, hair emerged from the same place as the young girl had come from. "Mako? Oh man you're almost as clumsy as me!" Then the boy saw Kisa and bent down to say hi. "Oh my gosh you are sooooooo cute!" he then gave Kisa a couple of hugs. "Oh! You are just so cute!"
The girl-Mako-glanced down at her watch, and gasped. "Ito! We're late!" They both waved goodbye and began to run back the way they had come.
It was only after they had left that it dawned on Yuki and Kisa what had happened. Yuki looked over at Tohru, "Hatori! He slept over at our place last night, right?"
Tohru nodded. "Yes, he's still there talking to Shigure about very important—"
"Let's go!" Yuki grabbed Tohru and started to run back home, dragging her behind him. Kyo and Kisa followed, knowing exactly what Yuki had planned.
They burst into the livingroom and demanded that Hatori see to them. Half an hour later, Yuki, the last of the three zodiacs to be examined, sat on the kitchen counter, carefully pulling his shirt on as he waited for Hatori to make his diagnosis.
"You're all insane." He sighed and put his stethoscope down back around his neck. "What the hell made you think you were sick? You're all perfectly healthy!"
Kyo looked over to Hatori, angry from having a check up. "Well a girl just collided with Yuki and me! And a boy hugged Kisa!"
"And…what? You turned into a rat, cat and tiger? Yes we know that happens. It has been happening for hundreds of years. That's the catch on the 'Sohma family curse'." He sat back down and drank his tea quietly.
Yuki began to button his shirt and explained, "That's the thing. We were hugged but we didn't change." He buttoned the last of his shirt then looked at his cousin, "is it possible that the curse is over?"
Hatori looked up, his face turned for a moment: hopeful. Unfortunately he went back to his reserved self in a matter of seconds. "Why were these two on our property in the first place?"
All three looked at each other. None of them had asked that question. Then Tohru's little voice rose above all of their pensive silence. "Maybe they're from that school that Shigure was talking about this morning at breakfast." They all turned to her, trying to remember what Shigure had said. Although he said a lot of things, none of the ramblings that Yuki and Kyo remembered had anything to do with a school. "Remember? He rented out some land for some extra money to fix the house. He rented it out to a drama club then he started singing that song that he always sings. You know…that very cute one?"
Then, as if on cue, Shigure walked down the hallway from his room. Chanting, in a loud, gleeful voice, "High school girls! High school girls! All for me! High school girls!"
Hatori stood up and decided to get everything in order. "Alright, Shigure come here."
Shirgure happily bounced his way over, still humming the song. Hatori did not comment on his peverted cousin and only began instructing him on what had to be done. "Now, we need to check this camp out. If what you say did indeed happen then there may be a flaw in the curse. It could be that there's something very different about these two or it could just be that you're hormones are acting up. Either way, I shall check it out, Shigure do you know where the campsite is?"
"Yes! I do! I was going to rent them the very muddy land but once I saw how young they were and the rather attractive females that were—"
Since he had already gotten his answer; Hatori interrupted Shigure's ramblings. "Then Shigure shall accompany me in my car. You kids can wait here."
Kyo did not like this idea at all. "Why the hell do we have to wait? We should come to! We can point out the freaks that hugged us! What if there's something in their genes that makes us vulnerable to them! You have to find the right people! There is enough damn room in your damn car for all of us!"
Hatori sighed, "Unfortuneatly there is not. Ayame has pretty much taken over my back seat. He lives there, eats there, sleeps there, the only thing he doesn't do is clean up in there. I'm not saying don't go," he told them when Kyo began to glare at him. "I'm merely saying that Ayame is still sleeping in the backseat. Either walk there on your own or try to slide in with him."
Kyo was about to leap on Hatori and demand that Ayame be moved but Yuki grabbed his shoulder. "We'll walk!" he assured Hatori. Not wanting to spend any time with his brother that day.
please Review. Thank you.
