"Hey Kyo, wait up!"

Tohru shouted as she went racing after Kyo, who had stormed out of class because of some silly remark that someone or other had made about him. Seriously, that boy had to stop being so sensitive, she thought, smiling to herself as she picked up speed.

Suddenly, her heart nearly stopped in fear when she saw someone mopping in the hallway.

"Wait, stop", he yelled, but unfortunately it was too late for Tohru and Kyo, who both went sprawling right on top of each other. Arisa, Hanajima, Yuki, and some other students came eagerly running to see what had happened, and time seemed to stop for Tohru.

Oh God, no, no, no,she thought, full ofdeep dread and despair. Everyone was going to see Kyo transform. It would be absolute chaos all around school, and Hatori would most likely have to come and erase everyone's memories. It would be horrible and she would probably be forced to leave the Sohmas as a result of her carelessness, and, and... Tohru stopped going over all of the agonizing scenarios in her mind long enough to realize that she was still on the floor on top of Kyo, and absolutely nothing had happened.

"Will you two lovebirds get up and end your little romantic moment here," Arisa said while looking down at them.

"Uh, sorry," Tohru said while quickly and nervously getting up. Normally, Kyo would've snapped back with some sort of nasty retort, but he just stood up in a kind of confused daze.

"Earth to Kyo,"Arisa said, but he remained shocked into silence. " I sense that something very, very odd has just happened," Hanajima said with a suspicious tone of voice.

" Of course it did," Arisa said jokingly. "It was the forces of attraction at work." Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki stayed behind as everyone else walked into class. "You didn't transform," Yuki asked,shocked and amazed."Is that a good thing or a bad thing," Tohru asked,wondering how things would change if it was permanent. BeforeKyo could answer, Yuki said, "we'd better ask Shigure about it when we get home.888888888

"Well, well, you three certainly look like you have something interesting to tell me," Shigure said when the three of them arrived home from school.

"You have to see this," Tohru said excitedly as she hugged an annoyed Kyo. Once again, nothing happened. Shigure's eyes went wide with surprise and he started to walk around the house in deep thought.

"Aren't you the lucky one Kyo, you just might be outgrowing the zodiac curse," he said. Kyo looked shocked and elated.

"Are you freakin kidding! What in the hell do you mean, outgrowing," Kyo shouted. Shigure answered, "well, many, many years ago I remember hearing some old man say that since the cat wasn't officially a part of the chinese zodiac anyways, a person, if they were particularly virtuous, could outgrow the curse of the cat. It would then pass on to someone else. It's suppossed to be an extremely rare, once in a lifetime thing though. I never once believed it was true, but now it seems it is. For once Kyo, you can consider yourself the lucky one in the family."

"I thought you said the person had to be particularly virtuous," said Yuki, who was feeling slightly jeolous. "I feel sorry for whatever poor soul has to get the curse of the cat now," he said. Kyo didn't notice though.

"So, so you mean I'm a freakin normal human being now," he said with a wicked smile. Shigure nodded. " So it would seem at the moment. I guess I'll need to to speak with Hatori and Akito about this," he said. Yuki sighed. " How quickly the wicked prosper," he said while walking to his room. "

"Shut up, don't try to spoil my one moment of glory, you damn rat," Kyo yelled. Poor Tohru just stood there, unsure whether to be thrilled for Kyo or to feel sorry for Yuki. Suddenly, they all heard a knock on the door. Shigure went to get it.

"I'ts Kagura," he said, looking at Kyo. " Kagura, oh bloody hell," Kyo screamed while running to find the nearest hiding place. " I guess your one moment of glory has already been spoiled," Yuki said with a satisfied smile, rather looking forward to watching Kyo catch a beating from Kagura.

" Where's my darling Kyo," Kagura asked sweetly.

"Darling Kyo has some very important news for you today," Shigure said. " Well, spill it then," she said clapping her hands excitedly. Kyo just stared down nervously and looked for the nearest exit. " Looks like he's not cursed anymore," Yuki answered.

Kagura's face went beet red. " What! You're lying! You mean I can't hug you, or touch you, or love you anymore, God dammit! You've ruined my life forever. How the hell could you do this to me," she screamed. " It's not like I did it on purpose," Kyo began to say but Kagura proceeded to attack him with all of her strength while Tohru and the others watched helplessly. " Please don't break anything, Shigure said as he left the room.
