Chapter 2: The Big K'poof
Donovan felt Tohru fall onto him, her warm skin against his. He blushed as the cute girl fell on him but that wouldn't be noticed in his current state. He heard someone running up to Tohru and himself.
"Tohru! Are you ok? I saw you fall," Yuki said running up to Tohru breathing slightly heavier than before. Somebody came up from behind him. He had bright orange hair and rusty red-orange eyes. He also was panting. How far did they run? Tohru was paniking.
"WHERE DID HE GO!" She said hurriedly. Yuki and the orange haired boy looked at her with confused faces.
"Tohru are you ok?" the orange haired boy asked. She looked up at him with teary eyes.
"Yea but Kyo, where did Donovan go? Did I squash him!" She paniked some more. Oh God I did squash him! After this I'm going on a MAJOR diet! Tohru thought to herself even though she is as thin as a twig and couldn't weigh more than 110 lbs. Then she noticed something. She was sitting on Donovan's clothes...
"Tohru...your sitting on me," came a muffled yip. Tohru looked at a wiggling bludge in the clothing and quickly got to the side of the clothing and untangled the pudgey ball of fur. A wolf pup?
"Donovan?" Tohru asked slowly to the pup that she grabbed under the arm pits and held up to eye level. The pup had the cutest annoyed face ever. Brown fur covered its baby fat body, one small patch of cream fur on his chest and one short fluffy tail hung down lamely. One patch of very long hair covered one eye just like in his human form with his bangs. Small baby paws resting on Thoru's arms softly and a small tongue resting over blunt milk teeth. Two or accually one big grey eye looked into Tohru's two big chocolate eyes.
"...yea," Donovan huffed, getting ready for the next step that he was all to fimiliar with...the smothering. Tohru squealed and smothered Donovan into a huge hug for such a small animal. Donovan whined and tried to wiggle into freedom. "If you keep hugging me I will never turn back!"
Tohru smiled and placed Donovan into the middle of his clothes which were now far to big for him. He heard some laughing from behind Tohru. Yuki and Kyo were laughing at him. Who wouldn't? Besides Hatori, his animal was pathetic. Who in their right mind would be afraid of a baby wolf? Expecially since he had blunt milk teeth and tinie paws with big cute eyes. I mean the pup didn't quite scream "FEAR ME FORE I WILL EAT YOU!" ya know? Or maybe I'm just crazy, eh?
"Whats so funny?" Tohru asked in a paniced voice. Was she missing something here? Donovan growled in his cute puppy form which provoked even more laughter.
"You have to be connected to Hatori somehow!" Yuki said softly through laughter. Then something struck him. There were only 13 cursed beings like him. The zodiac childern. The 12 animals and the cat. So how come Donovan changed? Wolves aren't even in the zodiac or in a zodiac story. What the hell was happening here?
"Uh...Guys? Isn't the bell gonna ring soon?" Donovan said slightly panicing inside. His heart beat quickened in pace when he heard the doomful dings of the bell. He heard the students feet begin stomping to their next class. HE WAS A WOLF IN A CROWD OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS! Tohru quickly wrapped him in the clothes and out of sight, clenching the clothes and pup to her chest. Kyo grabbed Donovan's bag while Yuki grabbed Tohru's. Then they set off down to the parking lot. All them (except Tohru) wanted to get out of school anyways. They would deal with punishment tomorrow. Tohru jumped into the back of Kyo's car and placed Donovan on the seat. Unlike Kyo, Yuki and the others, Donovan took a while to change back. Usually around an hour so he wasn't worried. When he finally won in his battle to get free fro his binding clothes he plopped onto the seat with a "oof" and looked around. Where were they?
Kyo had taken the wheel, Yuki in the passenger seat and Tohru in the back with him. They had left? So much for going to school, eh? They were driving on a dirt path that led to a very large house. This was the forrest Donovan placed his tent in!
"So you finally escaped your clothing, hm?" Tohru smiled, her smile could melt snow and warm you to the bone. Donovan merely stared at her, the light hitting her just right. She glowed with happiness. Donovan admired such emotions and souls, "Well we are here."
"Where?" Donovan questioned. He could barely see the sky out the window.
"At Shigure's house. You'll meet him soon. Don't worry. Your among friends," Yuki said softly, getting out of the car and opening the door for Tohru. Tohru lightly grabbed Donovan with one hand and scooped up his clothes with the other. Kyo grabbed Tohru's bag while Yuki grabbed Tohru's.
"Yuki-kun! Kyon-kyon! Tohru! You're HOME!" said a happy voice from the doorway. Who was he? Donovan looked over the smiling man dressed in a old fasioned Kimono.(sp?) (Sorry if I am wrong) The man was waving as if his life depended on it. He somehow seemed fimilar. But from where? His brown hair was untidy, and he looked like some one who slept when he wanted. Donovan had no doubt in his mind that this was Shigure, expectially since he was the only one there.
"Yep!" Tohru waved back to him happily. His fur stood on end as though he was in a freezer and just stepped in the warm sunlight. Her smile just seem to warm him to the bone. She made all the pain memories fade away, just by smiling she did this. Donovan blushed under his dark fur and looked away. She was holding him! He shouldn't be thinking about her. He shouldn't let girls get into his mind. Love will just screw up his pplans and get in the way. He had to much to do! This was no time to think about...girls...he drooled slighty then smacked himself with his paw. STOP THINKING ABOUT HER! He yelled in his mind.
When they reached the door step Shigure looked down at Tohru and her little bundle that she was holding, "Tohru? What are you holding there?"
"This is Donovan. He's like you, Yuki, and Kyo. He transforms when you hug him," Tohru said brightly. Shigure frowned.
"Impossible! Only the Sohma family members can do that if they are posessed! He is not in the Sohma family and there is no wolf in the zodiac," Shigure said defensively. Donovan growled at him.
"Oh yea? Bite me you butthole!" Donovan snapped. Shigure looked shocked. It was indeed a male voice that came from that pup but...but HOW! Shigure poked it to make sure it was real. Donovan growled and bit Shigure's finger with his blunt teeth.
And so they stood there. Shigure with his finger in Donovan's small mouth, Tohru holding Donovan, Yuki and Kyo watching silently until a roar of laughfter broke out. Yuki and Kyo fell down onto their butts laughing, holding their ribs as though their insides would spill out if they didn't. Tohru looked around cluelessly while Shigure and Donovan held a staring contest.
A forty minutes later of talking we find Donovan sitting on a coffee table with Shigure sitting in a lounge chair. Tohru sat on the couch with Yuki and Kyo sat leaning against the couch by Tohru's feet even though there was another chair avaible. (Yuki beat him to the couch) This is after Tohru and the gang explained everything.
"So Donovan, you have been like this ever since you could remember. This is very puzzling. I don't understand how you have a curse like ours," Shigure said, then began to mumble to himself.
"So where are you living right now Donovan? I would love to meet your parents sometime," Tohru said happily, hopeing to make conversation.
Donovan wouldn't look up into Tohru's eyes as he said, "I ran away."
Yuki stared at Donovan as if he saw a reflection of himself for a breif instance. Donovan had ran away. For good reasons or not he didn't care, Donovan was like him but he was better. He had the courage to do what he himself could not. Donovan ran and hasn't looked back. Another person Yuki could look up to has now entered his life. What will he do?
TBC- dun dun dun...
