Chapter 4: Spells
Disclaimer: I think that everyone knows that I don't own.
AN: I'm so sorry this is like four months late but I got a serious case of writer's block, school, family problems, and then the writer's block was back. I'll do my best to not make you guys wait so long for the next chapter.
This chapter is dedicated to all my readers, thanks for putting up with me guys.

Emiko poked her head around the kitchen door frame. "Come on into the kitchen, I've got lunch waiting for you boys."
Satoshi paused, "Behave," he stooped and placed Krad on to the floor.
The white cat sniffed, //"I'm an angel, remember."//
Satoshi rolled his eyes as he repeated what his curse had just said.
(("To bad his horns are holding up his halo."))
Daisuke gave the fox-dog a look, ("You're one to talk.") He headed into the kitchen with Satoshi.
Dark and Krad glared at each other for a moment before they followed there host.
Emiko glanced at the two curses, "I've got you two something made up too." She placed two bowls on the floor. The angels looked at each other thinking the same thing, `that better not be
Pet food. `
Krad cautiously walked over and sniffed at the bowl. He could tell that it was some kind of meet but other then that he was clueless.
Emiko put her hands on her hips, "Oh come on guys, it's just chicken."
Daisuke and Satoshi snickered.
"Anyway," sighed Emiko, "I'd never hear the end of it if I did feed you pet food."
Both curses gave her a look that even in animal form plainly said, `you bet your ass.`
As they ate Emiko explained what had been going on while Daisuke and Dark had been at Satoshi's. Kosuke has been looking up possible solutions to our problem."
(("Your problem, I'm the one that's furry."))
("Shut up Dark.")
"He's found a spell that we can try to see if we can change them back to human form and if it doesn't work we have a spell that can at least enable them to communicate with everyone not just with there host."
(("Yeah, I'm going to be a thief again!")) Dark who'd finished his lunch bounded to the door. (("Come on Dai-Chan let's go!"))
Krad rolled his eyes, //"I can see why Mousy ended up as a dog."//
Satoshi sweatdropped.
"I'll take that as Dark wants to try," sighed Emiko.
Daisuke nodded, "we might as well try the first spell now."
Emiko beamed, "I thought you might say that. Everything is already set up in the living room."
The whole group trooped into the other room.
Emiko pointed, "Dark, Krad, please go stand in that circle."
The two curses for once did as they were told without complaint.
Emiko raised her hands chanting in a strange musical Tung. Daisuke and Satoshi watched as there curses forms blurred and change.
Dark blinked as the sparkles faded from in front of his eyes but instead of being back to normal everything was gigantic. (("What the hell!")) He heard a chirp from his left that sounded suspiciously like a laugh. The Kaito turned his head and stared eyes widening in horror. (("Oh hell no!")) The white hawk cocked its head peering at him from one golden eye.
Daisuke, Satoshi and Emiko stared at the white hawk and the black mouse for a moment before all started laughing their collective asses off.
Krad chirp in amusement at the plainly horrified mouse that was his counterpart. He then cocked his head, //"Hmm..."//
Dark took a step back suddenly very uneasy with the way Krad was eyeing him. (("Uh, Dai-Chan, why is he staring at me like he wants to eat me?")) The black mouse turn to make a break for it but his opposite was just a little faster.
Krad pounced pinning the mouse beneath one taloned foot, the hawk then reached down picking mousy up by the tail.
Dark flailed his paws squeaking in mingled distress and anger. (("Put me down you bastard!"))
Even though Krad had known idea of what his counterpart had just said he got the gist from the furiously protesting mouse. He cocked his head pretending to think about it "Well... no." The hawk tossed his head tossing the mouse up into the air and then catching him by the scruff of the neck.
Satoshi sighed, as amusing as it was to watch Krad toy with Dark like this it really wasn't helping get them back to normal. He walked over crouching in front of the hawk and mouse holding out his hand. "Drop him."
The hawk cheeped in the back of his throat turning his head from side to side looking at his host from first one eye then the other. He finally seemed to come to a conclusion, //"nope, fun."//
"Drop him," snapped Satoshi he glared at the hawk who seemed unfazed, "Krad, drop him right this instant!"
//"Or what?"//
Satoshi smiled creepily, "I tell Emiko to feed you nothing but fish."
The hawk blanched, //"awe, alright."// He dropped the mouse into his host hand fluffing up his feathers in annoyance, //"Spoil sport."//
Satoshi set the black mouse back on the floor and got out of the way as Emiko cast the spell again.
Dark cocked his head still not human but definitely an improvement from the mouse. The large black wolf turned his head and came nose to nose with a white puma. The two stared at each other wondering who would win in a fight.
Emiko sweatdropped noticing the way the two curses were eyeing each other and hurriedly cast the spell again. This time a raven and a smaller bird stared balefully at her.
"Hmm, I wonder what kind of bird Krad is," mused Daisuke as he waited for his mom to attempt the spell again. "I know that Dark is a raven..."
"From the looks of him, I'd say he's a finch of some kind. Most likely a gold finch." said Kosuke from the doorway.
Satoshi smirked "I could say something but... ouch!"
Krad apparently knowing what his host had been about to say, had flown over and pecked him sharply on top of the head. //"That's not nice Satoshi-Sama."//
Satoshi winced rubbing the top of his head as the finch flew back landing next to the amused raven.
Emiko raised her hands again.
This time two annoyed squirrels stared at her.
"I know that you two were a little squirrely but that takes the cake!" Satoshi and Daisuke fell over laughing.
Emiko tried again.
An eagle and an owl.
Again.
A snow leopard and a stag.
Again.
A nightingale and a bat.
Again.
A pair of rabbets.
Snickers.
Again.
A dove and a crow.
Again, again, again…
Finally the two curses were back to the white cat and the black fox-dog as Emiko raised her hands once more two pairs of eyes widened and both curses bolted taking refuge behind Kosuke.
((//ENOUGH!//))
`Well," sighed Emiko, "it looks like that spell only shifts them between animal forms. I guess there is no point in trying it any more. At this both curses crept cautiously out from behind Kosuke.
((//"Thank God."//))
Daisuke sighed, "I guess we'll go hang out in my room until dinner." Satoshi nodded and followed the red-haired tamer from the room with the two angels trailing behind.
Daisuke sighed once more flopping down on his bed. "I was really hoping that spell would work."
"I know," Satoshi nodded settling a little more gingerly on to the bed.
Dark sighed and flopped down on the floor much like his host had done on the bed.
Krad eyed the fox-dog for a moment then walked over to the edge of the bed. He gathered his feet beneath himself and jumped up next to his host.
Satoshi blinked in surprise as Krad hesitantly placed one paw on his knee. The cat paused uncertainly for a moment before climbing the rest of the way into his host lap. Satoshi stared down at the cat for a moment before he glanced up at his red-haired friend. "Do you know any more about this thing that will allow them to talk?"
Daisuke shook his head, "I know as much as you do. I wonder what it could be?"
Satoshi sat pondering the question for a few minutes not noticing that he'd begun to scratch the cat's head. He started, looking down at the cat in surprise once more as a soft rumbling was heard.
Daisuke's eyes widened, "Is he purring?"
"Yeah," Satoshi nodded fingers pausing in there movement.
Krad opened one sleepy golden eye, //"Don't stop that feels good."//
Satoshi blinked and began stroking the cat again. Krad's eye closed and the purring got a bit louder. The blue-haired teen smiled silently to himself, Krad probably had know idea of what he'd just said, when the blond was almost asleep he usually said stuff that he had no recollection of later and most often it was the truth.
Dark snored from his place on the floor as Daisuke and Satoshi relaxed in companionable silence.

AN: I hope this wasn't too bad.
