Jazz with the dog
Jazz saw the dog lying on its stomach. 'It looks just like Shadow. Come to think of it, Shigure's dog form looks like Shadow, too.' The dog was fully black and the foot was broken. "Aw, you, poor, dog. Here, let me help." Jazz bent down to check it's foot. 'Yup… it's broken.' Jazz brought it into a hug and carried it into the house. "Shigure, do you mind if this dog stays here for a while?" "I don't mind. What happened to it?" Shigure asked. "She~," Jazz started, "broke her foot and I'm going to the store to get some supplies." "Why don't you take it to the vet?" Yuki asked. Not wanting Shigure to rub it in his face that she likes dogs. "Are you kidding? By the looks of it, she was abused. She wouldn't do well with a bunch of people around. That and since I showed her affection, she is now attached to me~!" They looked at the dog in her arms and it was cuddling up to her. "Well, I'll be back!" she set the dog down. At first the dag whined, but Jazz said, "Don't worry, I'll be back, Shadow!" The dog stopped and tilted her head. "Is that the name for her?" Yuki asked. Jazz nodded, "She looks so much like my dog Shadow. Shadow was the same kind of breed and everything. Shadow was 13 years old when Shadow died, and I was 12 when she did. Anyways, I'll be back in a while." Jazz left and left Shigure with a dumb smile on his face. "What are you smiling at?" Yuki questioned. "I'm not smiling~." Yuki sighed, 'At least it's not a cat.'
3 weeks later
Jazz managed to heal Shadow and found someone who would take Shadow and treat her nicely. Thursday morning, Jazz was in her room. She always made sure not to go with Yuki in the mornings just in case the 'Yuki Fan Club' managed to see her. Then the day she really not wanted to come, came. Jazz was walking downstairs when she heard, "My word, do my eyes deceive me or is there a strange young girl standing on my porch." The scene went on I went to my room and changed by the time I was done Yuki left with Tohru. 'Time to start my plan,' Jazz sighed. "Shigure," Jazz started, "I got a new job and want to go out to eat later today~! What do you say~?" "Ahh, my little flower got a job~! Yes, of course we can go out~!" He answered. "Just because Yuki isn't here, doesn't mean I can't hit you. Besides I see that bump on your head, I bet Yuki already hit you." Jazz stated in a deadpanned voice. Shigure now had crocodile tears, "Everyone is so mean to me." Later she went to school as normally as ever. She heard Hana say something about her, something about her and Yuki's strange electric signals. She giggled. Of course, she would notice. I left school early and waited for Yuki to finish his talk with Tohru. When I caught sight of him, I hurried to him to tell him the good news. "Yuki, guess what~?" They start walking towards the house. "What?" "I got a new job and we're going out to eat later for dinner. It's going to be fun~!"Jazz finished. 'Yeah, fun.'
Later
All three of them are walking home. "So, Jazmin, are you going to tell us where you work?" Shigure asked. "It's a secret~." Jazz said with a big grin. "Are you going to tell us someday?" Yuki asked. Jazz paused, "Is- is that Tohru?"
The next Morning
Jazz went out to run since she knew what was going to happen. Instead of the mailman, Jazz came in. "Oh, Jazmin, it's terrible, you see, they're all animals!" Tohru screamed. Jazz blinked, "Tohru, they are supposed to be animals," Jazz sweat-dropped and sighed. "No, no, we got to do something!" Jazz bent down and pet Shigure. "Such a cute dog~!" everyone froze, well, except Shigure he's enjoying every minute. "Is- is that a rat?" 'Here it comes,' Yuki sighed. He didn't want to know Jazz hated rats. "That's the cutest rat I ever seen~! Tohru, where did you get these cute animals?" Jazz asked. Jazz was hugging Yuki. Yuki, even if he was a rat, was blushing like crazy. "Are you going to turn into an animal, too?" Tohru asked. She was now on the floor, looking tired and freaked out at the same time. "Damn it, how am I supposed to come up with an excuse if both of you transform, too?!" Kyo asked, very angrily. "Don't you dare try to blame this on us, you stupid cat!" Yuki answered back. "Go ahead, say that again!" "Stupid. Cat." "Why you little, rat!" "Cut it out, both of you!" Shigure cut in. "Shigure, Yuki? What the heck?" Jazz said, 'confused'. "Anyways it's too late for excuses. Might as well tell them the truth, Tohru, Jazmin, I'm a dog, Yuki, here, he's a rat." He turned to Kyo. "That's Kyo, don't let his temper scare you, he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder." Shigure finished. Jazz put Yuki back on Shigure's head. Jazz took out her pendant and stared at it intently. "So is this… normal?" Tohru questioned. "Those are a strange choice of words, but yes. Our family has lived with this curse for generations. We transform into the 12 members of the Chinese Zodiac." Kyo glared at Shigure, "Sorry, the 12 animals, plus the cat. Anyways, whenever our bodies come over a great deal of stress, or we are hugged by the members of the opposite sex, we transform. It takes a while to change back; the thing is that," he was cut off with three poof sounds, "we're naked." Jazz just closed her eyes while Toru screamed for her life. 'Was she always this annoying?'
