Hatsuharu mooed aloud and looked up at Ayame. "Maybe we should take them to Shigure's?"

"What a nice cow.." Momo said sweetly, petting Haru's head. Haru looked up at her with an annoyed look. Momo took her hand away from him and backed away, chibi form. "Never mind..."

"Yes, I think that's a good idea." Ayame agreed, nodding his head. Millie twitched at the snake.

"You, the one freaking out, hold on to me." Haru ordered, mooing at her when she just looked at him, eye twitching from so much mayhem. "Take hold of my neck so I won't change back on the way to Shigure's."

"..Okay..." Millie stood up and moved slowly over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and climbing on carefully. "C'mon Momo."

"Okey dokey." Momo grabbed Hatsuharu's and Ayame's clothes and hopped on.

"This looks so weird." Millie mumbled as they 'rode' threw town on the back of Hatsuharu. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ They arrived at Shigure's house within an hour, which was a good thing; Momo had started to complain again.

"Here we are!" Ayame sang happily as they came into view of a large two story home.

Momo opens up the screen door and walks in, looking around. "So where's this Shigure dude?"

"This will totally suck if he's not here." Millie mumbled, walking in and releasing her arms from around Haru's neck.

"He's here, he rarely leaves his house." Haru stated plainly, walking in also.

Ayame had slithered off of Momo's neck and onto the banister next to Millie, who had almost sent him across the room, giving him frequent flier miles. "Shigure! We're here!"

Shigure's head popped out from a room down the hall. "Oh hello Aya...me?" His voiced trailed off when he noticed Millie and Momo. "Oh me oh my."

Millie shifted feet and moved over next to Momo, who started to wave idiotically at Shigure. She turns to face him and bows. "It's very nice to meet you."

"So I'm guessing they know?" He raised his eyebrows to Ayame and Haru, who nodded.

"Know what?" Momo asked unthinkingly, blinking curiously.

"Know that Ayame and Haru turn into animals, Dumb-dumb." Millie mumbled, rolling her eyes at Momo and crossing her arms.

Realization formed a weird look on Momo's face as she went, "Oh yeah!"

Shigure turned on his Charm as he shrugged and turned to lead them to the living room. "Well, I guess I can tell you the Souma Family secret. Ladies, Cow, Snake, please follow me."

"Who's the Soumas?" Momo requested, tilting her head and following Millie and Haru into the living room. Ayame was around her neck and Millie would shiver anytime she saw that snake.

"They're the Soumas." Millie stated, forming a sweat drop. She laughed when Momo blinked twice and went 'I knew that.'

Shigure gestured for them to sit. "Please, sit."

Millie sits down with ease, but unfortunately for Momo, she trips over herself and falls on the floor. "..Oops."

"Well, the Souma Family has a secret that you tumbled into." Shigure began, even though they already knew that.

"I kind of noticed..." She looked around to Haru, then Ayame, and quickly back to Shigure after she did this demon like glare. "So do you guys stay like this for a-" stops short as she hears a 'popping' sound and looks at Hatsuharu, who was next to her and who had just transformed back and was now completely naked in front of her eyes. She blushed deeply and looked away. "Oh my god! I am sooo sorry!"

Ayame then went poof and turned with a sweet smile to Momo. "Ah, much better!"

"You're not a snake anymore.." Momo said sadly. She then noticed he was naked. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!"

"Um..Hatsuharu.dude.." Millie uses one hand to cover her eyes as she searches for Haru. "Here's your clothes." and pulls it back when her hand touches his bare skin.

"..Thanks.." He blushed and quickly took his clothes, getting dressed in a flash.

"Okay..." Millie peaked threw her fingers, to make sure it was safe to come out.

Momo's eyes were snapped shut as she runs behind Millie and hides her head behind her shoulder. "Ahh! Millie, hide me! He's naked!"

Millie thought she was referring to Haru and sweat dropped, again. "He's dressed, Momo."

Momo looks over her shoulder at naked Ayame. "NO HE'S NOT!" hides again.

Hatsuharu walks over to Ayame and hits him on the head. "Put some damn clothes on!"

"Ow...fine." Faux tears ran down Ayame's eyes as he got dressed in a long white shirt. "Alright, you may look now."

Momo peaks again and looks straight at his hair and runs over. "OoOoOoOoOoOo! Let me touch your hair!"

"Momo! No touchy!" Millie snapped.

"But."Momo protested, her hand was one half of an inch away from his hair.

"Momo, no touchy!"

"But.but.its sooo pretty!"

"No Momo." Millie confirmed, getting annoyed. A large vein appeared on her head.

Momo pulls her hand away and sits back down. She began to sob faux tears as Millie just rolled her eyes. "Fine...meany."

"Please continue, Mr. Shigure." Millie said, more like commanding.

Shigure suddenly snaps out of his little world, done starring. "..What? .......Oh, yes! The Souma Secret! Well, we change into animals of the Chinese Zodiac anytime we're hugged by the opposite sex, as you know."

"Now what?" Momo inquired.

Millie sweat dropped again. This was a common thing to do around Momo. "How they turn into animals."

"Who turns into an animal?!" Momo begins to get very excited as she looks around the room madly.

"The Soumas."

"Who are the Soumas? Where are they?"

"There right there!" Millie yells, getting very angry, and magically gets demonic teeth. She makes sharp jabs towards Ayame, Hatsuharu, and Shigure.

"Oh, what about them?" Momo asked innocently, looking at them. She turned chibi as Millie leapt to hurt her, but got pulled back by Haru.

Millie sighed very heavily, trying to calm down and turned to Shigure. "Please, ignore Momo. She suffers from short term memory- MOMO! No touchy, Mr. Ayame's hair!"

Momo suddenly stopped. "But..."

"No! So the time between 'poofs' when you're an animal is.."

"It varies. Sometimes a couple of minutes, some times hours." He stated matter-of-factly.

"Gure-San, why don't they stay here? I mean, they know our secret and they are so cute!" Ayame giggled as he pinched both Momo's and Millie's cheeks.

Momo looked as though she might cry. "Ow..my cheek..."

Millie glares at him and growls, "I'll bite you."

Momo blinked, gasped, making all their attention turn to her and stood up. "If you're a Souma..do you turn into an animal too?!"

Millie looked blankly from Momo to Shigure, then back. "Momo, don't be so rude to Mr. Shigure."

"But I'm not being rude...I just want to know what animal he turns into to."

"Well-" Shigure started to say, but stopped when Momo tackled him and hugged him.
