AN: sorry I haven't updated any of my stories recently... I've been kinda busy with school and everything. I try to update about every two weeks or so...well here's a one-shot dedicated to my science teacher for giving me the idea. You ROCK Mr.B!!!!

Disclaimer: I wish I could own it, but it belongs to the brilliant Natsuki Takaya.

What the- ?

poof

Shoot. Why me? This always happens to me. Perhaps I deserve it...sigh I'd better get moving anyway.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

"That's the last of them." A man, about 6'2" had put me in a cage that wasn't big enough for me to change back, let alone move in the solid mass of fur and tails.

"Let's get back to the lab, shall we?"Another man, about 5'9" asked the first.

"Let's." And we were off. Wait a second, lab?!?!?! Are they scientists or something? Oh no.

The trip to the lab wasn't horrible(other than being trampled by the other rats...)but I was too busy worrying about what was going to happen to me to care. When we arrived I was put in a smaller cage by my self and the men went away for a while.

"Squeak?" one of the other rats was trying to ask me something, I couldn't tell what though. Now, how to get out? The latch on the cage was too heavy to lift in this form...

"Little one," the men were back. "Stay still. We're going to make this as painless as possible for you." 6'2" said as he picked vo up. I tried to struggle, but gave up quickly when I realized I wasn't going anywhere. Might as well get this over with.

He injected me with some thick liquid that made my whole body tingle.

"We'll be checking up on you later." the men walked out forgetting to close the latch on the cage. I scurried out and transformed. Looking around, I found a lab coat that had been left behind. Luckily, it covered my body to half-way down my calf. Using a conveniently-located back door I left the building to find myself about a block from where I had been captured. Walking back, avoiding being seen(I would have gotten a lot of strange looks)I managed to get my clothes on and get back home in time for dinner.

#after dinner#

"Let's play ghost in the graveyard!!!

"Sure Tohru-chan," (Kyo)

"If you want Honda-san," I had told everyone what had happened during dinner and Tohru always knew just how to cheer me up. We went outside and Kyo and Tohru gaped at me. "What is it?"

"Y-y-you're glowing!" (Tohru)

"Hahahahahaha!" (You can guess who.)

"What?" Were they laughing at me Was I truly that pathetic?

"Yuki-kun is glowing!" (T)

"You look like a freaking glow-stick!"

I looked down at my hand and, sure enough, I was glowing. I'm fairly sure I was blushing by now and rushed back inside.

#the next night#

"Yuki-kun is the new student-council president... I volunteered to bring the good news" a girl from said council said. I stepped outside to accept the papers I would need to review before term started and she started laughing.

"This will be a lot easier than I thought, I see. Get him girls!

I ran and tried to hide forgetting I was more obvious than a flashlight and was eventually surrounded.

"Dearest Yuki, we love you."

Just when I thought all was lost, a girl with brown hair cut long in the front, short in the back dragged me away from the horde of crazed fans.

"Thank you."

"No problem, they looked too vicious for me to leave you there in good conscious."

"They are crazy."

"So I figured. I'm Sakamoto Yumi by the way."

"Sohma Yuki."

"Nice to meet you."

From that day on, I had a new friend and I never went outside at night alone again.

the end.

AN: we're doing our genetics unit and Mr. B was talking about how a rat had been genetically altered to glow like a jellyfish in the dark, so I immediately thought of Yuki glowing. So cute! squee glomps Yuki lol. : )
