"I think for dinner we should have leek and rice balls" Tohru mentally told her self as she headed back to the Sohma's after going to the supermarket to pick up some groceries for dinner,

When suddenly she heard a rustling behind her, a man covered completely in black jumped out of the bushes with a sword in his hand poised to strike, the sword aimed at her neck.

"So if finally found you" he told the stunned Tohru and before he could get another word in she dropped the bag and ran away into the bushes where she was covered in a brilliant gold light.

The Sohma's

Kyo looked worriedly out the window, it had been six hours since Tohru had left to go to the supermarket and she still hadn't returned.

"What is taking her so long?" Kyo asked Shigure who for once was looking at his manuscripts.

"She might be catching up with her friends? I don't know but I'm sure there is a good reason that she is late, there is no need to fret about it!"

"Okay for once in your life you sounded Serious Shigure are you sure you're not coming down with a fever or someth…….

A scratching sound reached their ears and it was coming from the front door. Slowly Kyo crept towards the door and opened it, and there on the door step was a cat with an auburn colored coat lying on the ground passed out.

A dark, majestic Room,

A man smartly dressed was sitting on a stately chair stared down at the man who was bowing low on the ground.

"I am sorry my Lord Kei the girl escaped, but the mission did come to bear some fruit"

The dark clothed man, who attacked Tohru, said bowing low to the ground with a sniveling voice.

"What do you mean, came to bear fruit?"

Asked Lord Kei in a somewhat bored voice.

"She transformed into her animal state" Roiyaru replied

Lord Kei sat up straight and looked Roiyaru straight in the eyes to see if he had lied then when he was convinced enough laughed loudly, the sound echoed through out the large unoccupied manor

"I am pleased, very pleased in deed you have done well Roiyaru, you are dismissed"

The Sohma household

"I think it's waking up" Shigure yelled to Kyo who was in the kitchen trying to find something for the cat to eat when it woke up.

"I'm coming, hold ya horses" he yelled back finishing up the food he had prepared for the cat which in truth looked like some one's puke rather than food.

"Well hurry up it's waking u…" before Shigure could finish the cat began pulsing with a blinding light which made Shigure shield his eyes in agony.

As Kyo entered the room the first thing he noticed was Shigure shielding his eyes, the second, made his eyes bulge out of his head and with his surprised look he dropped the bowl containing what looked like puke which went crashing to the ground.

"WHAT THE HECK" Kyo yelled

"Uh hi Kyo" Tohru said nervously while trying to cover up her nudity with a small towel.

Kyo just stood their looking as though someone had just struck him on the head with a saucepan,

Though wither it was because that Tohru had just moments before been a cat or that she was practically naked.

It took several minuets before either Kyo or Shigure came around, by then Tohru had been able to put some clothes on.

The first word that either of them was able to get out of their mouths was "EXPLAIN!"

Tohru looking uneasy at them both shouting at her turned to face them, sighed and began.

"There were never just, 13 animals and god, there were 13 clans and god. Each clan held all 13 animals and their own individual god to rule them and those 13 gods were governed by the one god who ordered the banquet to be held, each clan also represented an animal."

Tohru paused to take one long breath and look at Kyo and Shigure faces now they both looked as if someone had hit them with a saucepan.

"these clans were spread all over the world as to stop conflicts between the clans and to even out the impact that the clans had on each other and their surroundings, over time the clans stopped communicating between each other till most had forgotten each other"

"The Sohma clan represents the Rat while the clan I come from the Hondas represent the cat, each clan was invited to come to the banquet but the clan of the rat tricked the clan of the cat, the clan of the cat has been forever angered by the injustice caused by the clan of the rat and they still are very bitter towards you.

And that is my story." she said staring at their faces waiting for them to say something or for some emotion to cross their face. But before either of them could speak the door bell rang.

Tohru The door opened and in came Yuki "hey so sorry I'm late but I was held up with a council meetin… what the heck is going on?" he stopped in a stun voice as he noticed Kyo and Shigure staring at Tohru their faces gob smacked.

"Um, hi Yuki" said a slightly flushed and nervous Tohru then with a sigh she filled him in on all she had told Kyo and Shigure.

When she finished her explain to Yuki about the 13 clans Kyo and Shigure had finally come to their senses whereas Yuki seemed to take her news better than the two and was sitting down waiting for dinner as Tohru began to make Leek rice balls.

"So Tohru what's happened to your clan, and why are you here?" Shigure asked while they began to eat Tohru's rice balls which Kyo was getting upset over and refusing to eat them till Yuki slammed one down his throat forcing him to eat, just to shut him up.

Once the commotion had calmed down Tohru began to explain " you see Shigure, a while a go I was banished from my clan for disagreeing with what our god had to say about how we should be treated. So I started searching for a place where I could stay and not fear for my life!"

"Your life? "What did you mean by not having to fear for you life?" Yuki and Kyo both asked unable to keep the concern from entering their voices, then a nock was heard from the front door, before Tohru could answer it the door and windows were smashed.
