Kage: Hee, I know, I know. I'm hitting you with a lotta chapters at once, but my Internet wass down again -sobs!!- So I'm stuck with typing and drawing. Unfortunately, I need more drawing paper, so now I'm currently stuck with.... typing or being bored.... and I so hate being bored.

DISCLAIMER: You know the drill, I don't own anything other than the plot and Kurai ((and my other stories, hint hint,))

PLEASE NOTE: This takes place just before they all start school together ((all being Yuki, Kyo, Tohru, HatsuHaru, and Momiji by the way.)) The story will definetly pick up after a bit, just be patient, .

ALSO NOTE: Momiji will appear in this chapter, and I'll be following his character in the manga, where he's half- German. I'll put the translation beside it in (())

CHAPTER 6- Transformation

Shigure's POV

Yuki-kun sighed and rolled his eye's slightly, obviously tired, just as I heard footsteps approaching behind me. "I'm going to take a warm bath." he announced, stepping fully into the room only to come face to face with Kurai-san, who had also just entered the room.

He met her gaze straight on...

Then blinked and walked past her with a small, "Excuse me."

She looked after his retreating back, only looking slightly shocked. I however, was in complete shock. Why hadn't he been affected like Kyo and I were? I glanced over at Haa-san, who was looking at me like I was an idiot.

Tohru-san stepped through us and smiled at Kurai-san with her eye's, "Hello, I'm Tohru Honda."

Kurai-san smiled back, making sure to stare at the floor when Tohru-san opened her eye's, "Pleased to meet you, I'm Kurai."

Momiji bound through us energetically and stepped up next to Tohru-san, "And I'm Momiji Sohma! I'm Shigure's, Kyo's, Hatori's, and Yuki's cousin!"

Kurai-san grinned widely at the hyper rabbit, still making sure to look somewhere other than his eye's, "Very pleased to meet you, Momiji-kun."

Tohru turned to Momiji, "Why don't we see if Kyo-kun has anything small you can wear? You can't stay in those soaking clothes all night, you'll catch a cold!" she turned to Kurai-san, "Please excuse us."

As they walked off Haa-san stepped forward, "I'm Hatori, the Sohma family doctor. If you don't mind, I'd like to examine you to make sure you're alright."

Kurai-san nodded, "Alright... but shouldn't you change first? You're soaking wet too..."

I smiled at Hatori, "You can wear some of my clothes."

Hatori glanced at me, "I'm not staying." he said, as soon as a large roll of thunder sounded.

I raised my eyebrow's at him, "Oh, yes, I think you are. I doubt you'd be able to drive through this, I'm surprised you decided to go and get Tohru-san and the others in the first place." Curiosity suddenly struck me, "Didn't you pull right up to the house so you guys wouldn't get wet?"

"Yes," he huffed, "But it's raining so hard now we got wet anyways. Yes, even though it was only two steps to the house..."

I smiled then turned to Kurai-san, "We'll be right back."

Kurai's POV

The boy with the purple hair and eye's.... he wasn't effected by my eye's.... That meant that I had seen him before today. Did I know him? I wonder what his name is....

And the doctor, Hatori-san.... he was the other teenage boy I saw with Shigure-san and the boy with the long white hair. So they must've been friends for a long time... that was so cool. I briefly wondered where the boy with the white hair was....

Shigure-san and Hatori-san walked off to get Hatori-san some dry clothes, and I was left alone. I smiled as I stepped back to the table where Kyo-kun sat with his head resting on the table.

"You alright?" I asked as I sat down. He really didn't look good.

He shrugged slightly and lifted his head up to look at me with tired red eye's, "It's just the rain. Rain blows....." he muttered, looking away to stare into the kitchen.

I smiled sadly as I wondered why. I loved the rain. It was so-

"Kurai-san?" I looked up at Hatori-san's as he stepped into the room, "Would you please come with me?" he asked, and I guessed it was time for a check up.... yay....

When he was finished, announcing that I should be fine as long as I rested a lot, everyone was gathered around the table, eating an early dinner that Tohru-kun made. The table only had four side's, so everyone was a little cramped. Shigure-san was at one end with an empty seat next to him, which is where Hatori-san was supposed to sit. On the opposite end Kyo sat by himself, still looking out of sorts from the rain. On the right side Tohru-kun sat next to Momiji-kun and on the left side was Yuki-kun and a cushion where I was supposed to sit.

Yuki-kun was looking better, and smiled at me as I sat down, "I apologize for my earlier rudeness. I'm Yuki Sohma."

I smiled back and told him my name. His reaction was almost like Kyo's when I didn't say a last name. He looked at me, expecting me to say something else, and when I didn't he looked slightly put-off and continued eating. I felt sort of bad, but just shrugged it off.

Tohru-kun's cooking was delicious! When I told her, Shigure-san agreed, then launched into some dramatic speech, which consisted of Tohru-kun coming to live with them.

"I don't mean to pry... but why are you living here, Tohru-kun?" I asked after Shigure-san's lengthy speech.

She smiled sadly, "My dad died when I was still little, so when my mom died in a car wreck about a year ago, I went to live with my grandfather. While he was having some remodeling done to his house, I lived in a tent out in the woods a little ways a way from here, so I wouldn't be in any body's way. After my tent was buried in a landslide, Shigure-kun and Yuki-kun invited me to stay here until the remodeling was done." she chuckled, "But when it was, this house felt so much like home I didn't really like staying with my grandfather anymore. So, Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun came to get me, and I get to live here in exchange for cooking and cleaning for everyone here."

I smiled at her when she was finished. She was so kind, very open and always was smiling and saying nice things. It was really admirable. I wondered why Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun stayed here, but I didn't ask, feeling like that would be too much.

Soon, Kyo-kun got in an arguement with Yuki-kun. ....Those two really seem to not like each other. It wasn't a very big arguement though, since Kyo-kun seemed so tired. Hatori-san said something to Shigure-san, which caused Shigure-san to launch into another dramatic speech. I wonder if he's a writer, because he certainly could be if he wasn't..... Momiji-kun and Tohru-kun were talking about a few people I didn't know. I heard the name's 'Kisa' and 'Hiro' a lot though.

I smiled as I looked around at everyone, suddenly understanding why Tohru-kun liked living here so much. Everyone was very kind and open.... well, other than the obvious tension between Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun.

Soon everyone was full, Shigure-san announcing that rather loudly, and Tohru-kun stood up and started to clear away the dishes. Yuki-kun and Momiji-kun stood up to help. After they disappeared into the kitchen, I decided to help as well. I grabbed two large bowls. And went to the kitchen, just as Momiji-kun came running out.

Shigure's POV
Another fine meal cooked by Tohru-san was sadly over. I was so full! I sat back, sighing in pleasure as Tohru-san, Yuki-kun, and Momiji-san all stood up to clear away the table. As they all disappeared into the kitchen, Kurai-san suddenly stood up and picked up two large bowls. Just as she got to the kitchen door, Momiji-san rushed out and collided right into Kurai-san with a POOF!

Kage: I know it was short, but I really wanted to end the chapter like this and I was running out of things to fill in between, haha.....
