When Two Clash

Chapter 1

First Sighting

Yuki stared off into the distance as Tohru went on and on as she has that way of doing. H thought it was a little bit funny of her for looking off in to the distance as she did this.

"Mom would have loved this house you know," She went on.

He sat on the porch of Shigure's house as he gazed off. He watched a dog trot by, and as it walked it looked around, as if nervous. It was gray, but a very dark gray, not a color you would expect in a dog. His ears perked up, like in Shigure's dog form. It stopped. It stared at him as if analyzing him. It's blood thirsty red eyes bit into him. He began to feel dizzy. The world was spinning around him. He tried to stop it by grabbing on to the porch.

"Miss Honda…" his voice trailed off.

Tohru gave him a funny look, "Yuki, are you okay?"

Tohru's voice sounded far, far away. He slowly blacked out. A small rat fell off the porch.

"YUKI-SAN!" She cried

He was picked u by Tohru, and she rushed him inside

Yuki, in a small rat form blinked his eyes. He was lying in a bed inside the house. He heard familiar voices.

"Calm down Tohru," Shigure said. "I am sure he will be fine." Tohru noticed that he had woken up.

"Yuki!" She exclaimed. " Are you comfortable? How do you feel? Are you okay what happened?" She bombarded him with questions.

" I am fine Tohru-san," Yuki explained, "As for what happened I am not sure. I was watching a dog in the distance and all of a sudden I felt a little dizzy. Then I just can't remember anything. I blacked out. Shigure do you know what happened.

Shigure's face had went white when he had mentioned a dog. "I -I am just going to make a phone call to the main house." He left the room.

Kyo came in. "Whoa," he said, "What happened to rat boy over there?"

"We were sitting outside and all of a sudden he turned into a rat and fell off the porch," She explained. " We don't exactly know what happened."

"Did you ask Shigure what might have happened?" Kyo wondered.

"We tried," she said, "but he turned very pale, and didn't answer. Then he left to go call the main house."

"He's hiding something if you ask me," Kyo stated.

"For once I actually agree with him," Yuki said surprisingly.

Maybe they are actually getting along, thought Tohru.

"That's a first," Kyo said in an annoyed tone.

"I wonder what Shigure knows that he isn't telling us," Yuki stated.

"And how important it is," Tohru pointed out.

"She's right, you know," said Yuki vaguely, "It could be something to worry about."

"I hope not," Tohru said.

"Maybe it has to do with the curse," Kyo thought out loud.

They sat silently for a while, thinking. The silence grew eerie after a while finally Yuki spoke, "You don't think it is, do you?"

"Well," Tohru began, "We can't be for sure, but I have a feeling it is."

"She's right," Kyo agreed, "And it probably is." There was another long silence. Tohru decided It was time to change the subject as Shigure entered the room with the color back in his face.

"So," she began, "What would you like for dinner?"

"Anything without leeks an onions," Kyo reminded her.

"Anything you cook is good tohru," said Shigure, "You are such a wonderful cook."

"Shut up Shigure," Said Kyo.

"You need to learn when to speak Shigure,"
