The smoke swarmed Yasou's entire body, he felt as if his entire existence was being changed. He tried to keep calm even though the situation was frightening to him. Finally the smoke cleared and the room became bigger to him.
"That was weird….what just happened?" he said as he tried to stand up, but for some reason he couldn't get back on his own two feet. "Why can't I stand up?" Yasou asked and he turned to Tohru to see that even she seemed bigger than before, "Hey Tohru? When did you get taller than me?" The look on Tohru's face was very shocked as she began to stare at Yasou.
"She didn't get taller….you shrank" said Shigure "By the way……..you might want to look in the mirror." Yasou crawled his way to the room's mirror to see something astonishing. In the mirror looking back at him was a small brown fox, which had a very similar surprised look on its face. Yasou then looked down at his hands to see that they were not hands but small furry paws. He tried to stand up again but fell over, it was true…..Yasou had turned into a fox.
"W-what's happened to me?!" yelled Yasou in shock, he really couldn't believe it he turned into an animal somehow but he didn't know why.
"H-he talks too?!" Tohru said in amazement and shock. "We must get these two to a hospital! The doctors will cure him!" exclaimed Tohru as she picked up the animal Yasou and tried to head for the door, but suddenly even more debris fell from the wreckage and hit Tohru smack on the head. She wobbled about for a bit and then fainted a little on both Yuki and Shigure, suddenly another puff of smoke appeared and the two of them turned into animals as well. Shigure became a full grown dog with black fur and Yuki became a small white mouse of some sort.
"Them too, what's going on here?!" Yasou thought to himself as he watched Shigure and Yuki transform before his eyes. Tohru then flipped out (again….she seems to do that a lot don't you think?) as she scooped up all four of the animals and ran down stairs frantically. She then saw a delivery man by the door so she ran up to him screaming and panicked.
"They're animals!" she screamed
"Why yes they are, I didn't know Mr. Sohma raised pets. Well anyway I've delivered a package for Mr. Sohma." Said the delivery man putting down the box he was carrying with him. "That will be 1600 yen please." The dog Shigure then took out a wallet and gave the man his money. "Wow, what a clever dog. Thank you for your business" He said and he walked away closing the door behind him. For a moment the house was quite, total silence filled the house. Then suddenly a loud voice came from the cat.
"You guys changed too, you can't blame me for this so stop looking at me like that!"
"You let your guard down first you stupid cat!" Yuki yelled back to him.
"Well it's not my fault and look at that guy! He's an animal too! Now we have a witness and another secret to hide!" the cat yelled pointing his paw at the fox Yasou.
"That's enough you two! They've already seen, so we might as well tell them" said Shigure as he walked over to Fox Yasou and the shocked Tohru "Tohru….I'm the dog, Yuki's the rat, Kyou over there is the cat, and apparently your friend Yasou is the fox. We're possessed by the 12 animals of the zodiac and there are 10 other people in the Sohma family who are possessed as well. When our bodies are under a lot of stress or get hugged by a member of the opposite sex we transform into the animals of the zodiac. It's temporary and eventually we change back, but when we do….we're naked." suddenly another puff of smoke surrounded Yuki, Kyou, Shigure, and Yasou and they instantly became human again….with the exception of their clothes though. Yasou got embarrassed and quickly ran up stairs to get his clothes back. He later came down when everyone else was dressed as well. "Sorry we let you see something you shouldn't have" said Shigure
"In more ways then one I presume" replied Yasou with a worn out look on his face (Kind of like this -_-'). "But one thing I don't understand, How come I can transform?" asked Yasou
"Well, there's only one explanation for it. You must be a Sohma" said Shigure
"But, how's that possible?! I don't remember anything! On top of that…..the fox isn't part of the zodiac, so how come I turned into one?" said Yasou still confused. Shigure let out a sigh and sat don on the floor.
"Well I think I know why…..do any of you know the story of the moon spirit?"
