Authors Note- Feh. Only two chappys left. It will have a semi-happy ending. But, any and all Gure fans, I say this- kande. Translation- Bite Me.

It took a lot of cars to get us all to the main house. Tori-nii's car only fit four of us. There was no way that we would all fit. We ended up calling Ayame-nii to give the rest of us a ride.
Gure-nii, Kyou, Yuki and Honda went with Tori-nii. Haru, Hiro, Kagura, Satsuki and I went with Ayame-nii in his van. Of course, it advertised his shop...
We got there about two hours after Kureno called.
Ritsu was waiting for me with Kazuma. Ritsu gave me a hug, and a change of clothes. To my surprise, he brought a really classy outfit. A knee-length black skirt, with a red wide strapped tank-top, and a black jacket to wear over it. Okay, so it wasn't classy, but it did look good.
After I changed, Kazuma came up to me. He put his hand on my head, as he did when I was a child. "I'm proud of you, Isuzu." If it weren't for the fact that I would turn into a horse, I would have hugged him.
Kureno came out to greet us. "Momiji-kun and Kisa-chan are already inside. Please come with me."
This is it. Things could all end for better or worse.

I cannot believe that I am wearing a womans kimono...It feels strange, to say the least.
Kureno brought them all in. Needless to say, most of them were shocked by my appearance. I chose to ignore their stares.
"Everyone, there is an important reason as to why I have called you here. But first, I must ask that you all stop staring at me. Yes, I am really a girl. I will not say why I have hid this from you. It is a matter for my mother and I alone."
Ritsu smiled at me. I guess it made him feel better to know that he wasnt the only crossdresser in the family...but then again, that brat Momiji does the same thing...Yuki andAyame, God, they may as well be women due totheir looks...
"Isuzu, Kyou, and Shigure, please come forward."
All three of them had a look in their eyes that clearly said that they would rather be anywhere than here. If they only knew how I felt about this...
"It has been brought to my attention, that the Dog, Shigure, has commited a crime against the Horse, Isuzu. To take another without their concent is possibly she second worst crime one can commit against another Jyuunishi. It is believed that the Cat is the most wretched of us. In my eyes, this is no longer true."
I paused. The knots in my stomach tightened. I have to do this.
"As the God, I declare the Cat and the Dog will trade places with one another. The Dog will now be the outcast. The Cat shall join the Jyuunishi, and his curse shall be lifted once I take his bracelet off. This is the price to pay for raping a fellow Jyuunishi."
Everyone was in shock.
I walked up to Kyou. "Give me your wrist."
He shook as he lifted the wrist with his bracelet. With one swift pull, it came off.
There was no transformation.
At the same time, Shigure began to undergo his transformation into his cursed form.
All the traits of the cat became those of the dog. The warped shape, the rotted smell...Everything that the Cat was, is now the Dog.
He put his hands over his head, and began rocking back and forth.
I threw the bracelet at him.
"You will be locked away when those staying with you graduate from school. I cannot say that I am sorry. You knew better than most how I hold the Bond we all have with one another. You broke that Bond. Shigure, you let jealousy blind you. Blaming someone who had no fault in the matter..."
I turned to Isuzu.
"Isuzu. I have seen how I have treated you in a different light. In reality, I am just as horrible as Shigure. I do not deserve your forgiveness. But, if theres anything you wish, tell me."
She just looked up at me and said, "I want Haru. I want to be with him."
I saw that one coming.
"I will no longer interfere with your lives. As soon as he leaves school, you have my blessing."
I looked at them all. "I will see you at New Years."
Sohma Isuzu
Its unbelievable.
I never thought that any of this would happen.
I only have to wait about another year...Then the one thing that I have wished the most for will come true.
Despite what he did to me, I feel sorry for Gure-nii...
