Okay for me the first chapters are always much shorter than the next chapters because I try to write them that way, so don't worry if you do continue to read the next chapter will be longer. Secondly I'm sure there are people with butterfly nets who will be looking for me even more with the release of this fic, and third I'd like to thank Cindersarah for RPng the "what if Ren turned into a dog" question with me and therefore inspiring me to write this fic.

These Paws Are My Hands

Chapter One :: Short Transformation

Maria stared in horror at the spell she had just cast, she had tried to keep herself away from voodoo types of things lately, from Wiccan enchantments, from black magic, but when her eyes had streamed across that line in the book her heart had burst with excitement. She hadn't read the full spell, but instead just skipped past the summary of what the spell was supposed to do and gone to the ingredients, it had seemed like a good description as far as she had read. A spell to keep one by one's heel. This spell will make the person loyal, trusting, and unable to leave their master's side... What she saw now in front of her though was the final sentence. To turn man into man's best friend, she shook her head, spells weren't real right? She hadn't really turned Ren into a dog had she?

Meanwhile

Ren started to feel sick as he got changed from his latest modeling shoot, he had done fine in the shoot and was now preparing to meet with the director of the next drama he was going to appear in. He stared at his reflection in the mirror. It had been three months since he had forgotten his watch and he had appeared as Cain Heel with Setsuka Heel by his side. Ren knew that he should be thinking about other things, but instead he was thinking about what might happen if he saw her again. All of a sudden he started choking and breaking down into heavy coughs which tasted of smoke and incense, that felt extremely weird to him.

His chest seemed to shrink and his head became cloudy, was he catching a cold? He touched his neck, but his eyes widened as he realized that his fingers glueing together and his hand getting smaller, he looked at himself again. His hair was getting longer, but apart from that his whole body was shrinking and he found a great force push him to all fours. Was he having one of those episodes where you take drugs one time and then ten years later you go on an episode? No, he couldn't remember anything which caused these kinds of hallucinations. "Yashiro!" he tried to call out for his manager before crumpling on the floor, his clothes seeming to cover him now. "Yashiro!" he called again however this time it sounded like a dog barking.

He felt his body grow even smaller as he attempted to yell again; yet, no matter what he called out it just sounded like a mix of barks. He then found himself covered entirely by the shirt he had been putting on, his cheek resting against one of the buttons and he looked at it in horror at how large it had turned. He reached out his hand to touch it 'What is th-" as he touched the button he stared wide-eyed at his hand which had now changed into a little paw covered with golden fur.

He heard the door open and started barking again trying to tunnel his way out from beneath the shirt, he could hear Yashiro's voice which seemed much louder than usual.

"Ren? Is there something wrong?" he asked confused since he had thought it was Ren's voice he had heard from outside, in fact he was sure of that, but the guy didn't seem to be in the room. "Ren?"

Ren finally managed to make his way to the collar of the shirt and peeked his head out, he looked up at Yashiro and barked again, 'Yashiro! Yashiro! What's going on? What's happening?' His eyes opened even more as he heard his own voice, he looked around nervously before catching his reflection except it didn't seem to be his reflection it was the reflection of a golden retriever puppy.

Staring at the dog with wide-eyes and an open mouth the manager let one word slip from his mouth, "Ren?"
