Takuya kitty and Kouji puppy were slowly adjusting to their new surroundings, and of course, the new bodies. The absurd things they did didn't bother Taichi one bit; though it did disturb our poor Yutaka. Takuya and Kouji would sit together on the couch, discussing how to return to normal in their minds, while Yutaka would be staring at them, forgetting his term paper. In his mind, this little kitty and puppy were plotting to conquer their house, and make it a home base for other flea-bitten critters to live. He didn't care that they were the damned cutest things he has ever seen, nor did he care that they were pretty smart. It infuriated him on the fact Taichi would laugh off his worries and say he was being paranoid. Yutaka was not paranoid; he was an ingenious college student who lived with a soccer freak! Okay, now that Yutaka ran this over again in his mind, he realized that if he was an ingenious college student he would not be living with a soccer freak nor dealing with a cat and a dog that were plotting to take over the house. Though, Yutaka did not know that Takuya and Kouji held no interest at all in the house, they just wanted their bodies back.

While Yutaka was thinking of all the ways the two could take over his house, Takuya and Kouji were musing how to get back to normal. Takuya, what did you do to get us into this mess again? Kouji's voice sighed in Takuya's mind for the millionth time now. I told you! I argued with a stupid book! Takuya scowled, getting irritated by Kouji. This was slightly unusual, because usually Kouji was the one irritated with Takuya. In this case though, it was understandable because Takuya found himself irked by the fact all Kouji seemed to care about was that they were stuck as animals, and not… not what? That didn't matter, it irked Takuya any ways! Of course, Kouji wasn't only worried about their current predicament. He was worried by A LOT more than Takuya was, but being himself the only way he could express this anxiety was unfortunately the way he had done it in the Digital World. By being an irritable jerk that Takuya wasn't sure if he still wanted to be his friend or punch his lights out. Arguing with a book does NOT turn you into an animal! Kouji repeated for the last time. Takuya tossed him a glare and gave the cats' famous 'high and mighty' stance. Kouji was unintimidated, and rather raised an eyebrow in question at Takuya's feeble attempt. Sulking, the brown kitten looked around, and noticed Yutaka glowering at them. Kouji then glanced at Yutaka, who oh-so slowly began to get unnerved by the unwavering stares he got from the two animals. Disturbed to the highest level, Yutaka took his book and fled the room.

What's his deal? Takuya asked, his voice flowing like water into a creek through Kouji's troubled mind. Luckily all they could do was hear the other speak to them, rather than read each other's thoughts. Kouji was sure there were more than two things in his mind that might scare Takuya away from him, and he could not permit such a thing to ever occur. Beats me. Any way, Takuya did anything happen AFTER you argued with the book? Kouji asked, trying a different question. Duh, I was turned into a cat! Takuya scowled, causing Kouji to sigh yet again. Anything happen other than the argument with the book? Kouji asked, hoping this might work. Well… I did read something from the book… Takuya answered slowly, minorly recalling the stupid poem from the book. Not knowing he had enraged a force, Takuya's tail yet again caught on fire today, causing the kitten to hop around in alarm. Kouji became rather alarmed, concerned for his friends safety, but instead of helping him like he wanted to, instead his stupid mind said, Be careful or you'll light the couch on fire! It came out rather annoyed and angry, and as a result the fire went out instantly, and Takuya stopped his hopping, and gently licked his scorched tail. The couch wasn't lit on fire, Kouji. Takuya responded back to Kouji in a rather hurt and angry tone, especially on the puppy's real name. Sighing with knowledge he just made matters worse, Kouji looked around for some way to change the subject. He wasn't quite sure how to apologize, and even if he did it would probably make matters worse with how he would say it.

Finally discovering a topic that wouldn't land him in a world of (emotional) hurt, Kouji voiced his question, So uh… why did your tail catch on fire like that? Takuya's sour look didn't hold much of an answer, but when he did reply at least it wasn't that resentful tone, more of a calmer one. Beats me, second time it happened. Though, when I voiced my opinion this rhyme from that stupid book my hand caught on fire… He trailed, thinking over this. That's right, you read something! What was it? Kouji said with a giddy bark, and jumped up. After doing so, he froze when landing on the cushion of the couch, and stood there horrified. Takuya did his best to contain his laughter, which seem became a difficult task indeed. A moment later Kouji's head was filled with Takuya's laughter, and while he did enjoy the happy sound coming from Takuya because of him, he wasn't particularly keen on the fact it was AT him. Releasing a growl of warning, Takuya's laughs went from many to slow in between, until it finally died done to a soft chuckle now and then.

To be honest, all I remember it was a bad poem and involved something about a moronic kitty, soulmates, and unknown. Wait a minute… Takuya thought, and it was Kouji's turn to give a chuckle. Maybe I have to help you, my moronic friend, find your soulmate. Kouji was silent, then snorted. Doubt it, that could take us several human lifetimes, and as animals those lifetimes are shortened by a lot. He continued, and Takuya remained silent and contemplative. You think the poem turned us into animals? Takuya asked, and Kouji gave a shrug. Beats me… They remained quiet, and then, Well, when you remember we can return to our normal selves. Try to make that soon though, my parents will spazz if we don't return home tonight. Kouji sighed, and received a grin from Takuya. Taichi walked into the room holding two plastic bowls, one with tuna fish and the other with some steak. Right as he entered the room to feed the kitten and puppy, Takuya glomped Kouji, who fell backwards from the force exerted by Takuya's jump to hug him knocking them both down. Having been the observer of this adorable phenomenon, Taichi laughed whole-heartedly and placed the two bowls down.

"That was too cute…" He chuckled to himself. "All right Mamoru, Chi, get you food!" Taichi exclaimed, and before he stood all the way up again, there he watched Takuya and Kouji gulping down the food. Nothing out of the ordinary for once… unless you consider the fact Kouji puppy was eating the tuna while Takuya kitty ate the steak. Taichi allowed himself to stare for a moment, then chuckled again and left the room. Inside the kitchen, Takuya and Kouji listened to Yutaka and Taichi discuss the pet matters while they ate happily. Besides breakfast, the two have yet to have eaten anything else, and turning into another species and losing more than a decade and some odd years worth of growth can really make a guy hungry you know.

"Are you taking them to the vets or what?" Yutaka asked, causing mild alarm between Takuya and Kouji. Well, if anything they could do with rabies shot, no harm done there.

"Yah, tomorrow. The vet is going to see if they need fixing or not, and if they do…" Taichi let this trail, and Yutaka released a sigh of relief. Takuya and Kouji did not find this news to be relieving whatsoever. In fact, this news was a very scary thought, and they were hidden in some deep corner in the house when Taichi re-entered the room to see what the gorging sounds were gone. His brows twisted together in his confusion, and he looked around the room.

"Taichi, I know you think I'm crazy and paranoid for thinking this, but I can almost swear those animals know exactly what we're saying." Yutaka said warily, looking around as if expecting Takuya kitty or Kouji puppy to pop out of nowhere just to frighten him.

"This coming from the guy who thought that they couldn't understand a single word I said?" Taichi asked with a grin, and continued on with his easygoing search. He was in no hurry to find him, but he was worried they might get themselves in trouble unsupervised.

"Well it's just, they have this intelligence you don't generally see in animals…" Yutaka murmured, and Taichi gave him a large quick goofy grin.

"Don't worry so much all right, from the moment I saw the cute little guys I knew they wouldn't be any trouble for us. Why, we might not even have them for long…" Taichi continued, while his head was turned from Yutaka with a strange smile. Yutaka, slightly confused raised a brow at Taichi.

"So… we're not keeping them?" Yutaka asked, and Taichi got up and sent him a part-pout, part-glare look with some minor annoyance.

"I never said that." Taichi scowled, then resumed his search. Sighing, Yutaka went to his room, where little did he know Kouji hid beneath the covers, while Takuya laid under the bed. When entering, Yutaka plopped down onto his bed, and got a yelp of surprise from puppy Kouji. Panic and worry flowed through Yutaka's every limb in fear he might've squished the poor dog. When finally finding the white and black puppy glaring at him, Yutaka couldn't help but release a laugh of relief.

"Here I thought I squished you…" Yutaka laughed, his worry melting away. He didn't like animals too much, but he didn't hate them so much he wanted them dead. He wasn't an animal person, but he did like playing with them on the rare occasion. An irritated Kouji permitted himself to be picked up by Yutaka, and looked over by the brunette. Sighing, Yutaka put Kouji into his lap and gently petted him, figuring he could probably talk aloud, as from hearing the door close he knew Taichi's odd mind led him to believe they were outside. "You know… you are kind of cute." He found himself half-admitting. Kouji gave him a death-glare, but being a puppy it actually looked like a pout. Chuckling, Yutaka scratched him behind the ear, and seeing that the brunette was going to do him no harm, Kouji rested his chin on Yutaka's thigh, and tolerated this all. "You know, my little brother Tomoki had always wanted a pet. He was sort of a spoiled little brat, our parents always gave him what he wanted." He sighed here, and Kouji mildly wondered why exactly Yutaka was telling him all this. Wasn't it a bit… random?

"They said no, as our dad was allergic to dogs, and that was exactly what Tomoki had wanted. He kept asking, and would throw a tantrum every time they said no. One day though; he had suddenly seemed so… different. The good kind, you know… more mature. He stopped asking for everything, and actually started to try helping around the house. It was strange. He even apologized to me for being a brat, and it completely caught me off guard. In the same day he somehow met these older kids too, it was really strange. Kouji, Takuya, Kouichi, Izumi, and Junpei… wonder how they met? Of course, you're a puppy and whether you understand a word I'm saying is beyond me but… there's something I have to let out of the bag." Yutaka then yawned, and looked around. "Ah, I'll let it out later…" Then he fell backwards on the bed, and slowly drifted off to sleep. Kouji sensed that Takuya was napping, probably bored to death by the confessions of Yutaka about random things, and with a shrug Kouji figured he needed a nap too. This was exactly how Taichi found them, not more than an hour later, and left smiling.

At some point, Takuya groggily opened his eyes, and became somewhat curious as to what awoken him. Then he heard a loud window-shaking noise. He jumped, and bumped his head on top of the bottom of the bed, and scowled mentally. It was a horrendous sound, like something was sucking in everything and grinding it up to bits inside, then there was a following 'chuuuu…' noise. Thoroughly confused, Takuya left the safety of the bed and hopped on the bed, where the noise became increasingly louder. What he saw, would forever be his eternal source of amusement. There, lying on the bed was Yutaka snoring like an engine refusing the die. On his stomach, Kouji laid on his back with his feet thrusted in the air, and making some snoring noises of his own. Kouji. Snoring. It was priceless. Takuya had always been a heavy sleeper, and usually he fell asleep before Kouji, and so even if Kouji did snore as a human, he would have never known. Feeling it was now his duty, Takuya discovered he now had blackmail for Kouji, and released an evil little cat laugh. Little did he know that he just awoken a certain small animal not too far away…
