Disclaimer: Come now, you know what I'm going to say so why not avoid the fact that I'm a pathetic teen making a fan fic about something I don't own, so there, don't own it, wish I did!

Also…chapters will come weekly at the most…sorry. Also if you're a Harry Potter fan, I might make a story on that one too, Sirius x Hermione (don't know why but I love this couple) or something along those lines…

Chapter 9: Tone-Def Hippy Fest

Shigure was walking down the hall, book in hand, not paying any attention to where his legs were taking him, a few stumbles here, a few stubbed toes there, nothing out of the usual. Uo on the other hand couldn't find Tohru anywhere and their plans for today were to go swimming or at least do something, Uo really didn't care as long as she wasn't locked up in a room, with nothing to do, she was particularly agitated about being bored right now and stalked the halls calling out Tohru's name.

"Hey perverted, writer guy, have you see-", and Uo fell right on top of the "perverted writer guy" causing vast commotion. There was Shigure trying to shield/hide himself before he transformed into a doggy and Uo cursing as she got up and dusted herself off.

"Um… I'm not that crazy when I'm mad, you know, and why are you barking?" Uo said, for Shigure was most definitely not a dog, although he thought he was.

Shigure looked down, where his paws should be, his hands were, he looked to see if he was still dressed, seeing if the consequences of changing back really fast, made him…well…bear all. Nope, he still had on his usual lounging wear or as he called "writing wear".

"I-but-no-wait-I…" Shigure got up and raced around the room, and finding what he wanted, hugged a member of the opposite sex, this being a disgusted Uo.

"Get off me you-you-GRRRRRR! There aren't any words to explain how thoroughly perverted you truly are!" Uo shouted in mid-hug and stormed off in search of a bath and of anti-bacterial soap, lots of anti-bacterial soap.

Shigure ran around in search of another member of the opposite sex to test his new found glory on. He found a little old maid, withered and wrinkly and hugged her. Nope, nothing happened.

"OOOOHHHHMEMBERSOFTHEZODIACCOMEOVERHERENOOOOWWWW!" Shigure awaited the arrival of the members and bounced up and down in excitement, soon he was dancing around in the garden picking flowers, singing "Good Morning Starshine" at the top of his lungs, this made the members of the Juunishi come running, he needed to be stopped.

"What in the hell are you doing Shigure?" Hatori asked, his voice barely audible compared to Shigure's tone-def hippie dance fest.

"-THE EARTH SAYS HELLOOOOOO! YOU TWIKLE ABOVE THEM, WE TWINKLE BELOOOWWWW!" Shigure through the flowers everywhere and picked one up and tucked it behind Hatori's ear, and singing the…"beautiful" words he'd picked up in one of his favorite musicals, "Hair".

"Shigure, I will set fire to all your books and then tell the publishing industry everything embarrassing you've done since you were four if you don't stop now." Shigure stopped immediately and picked up his flowers and innocently sprinkled them over Hatori.

"Feel the peace, Hatori, can you not feel the essence of a broken curse" and with that Shigure plopped down and made flower crowns.

"What are you doing you weirdo?" Hiro and Kisa followed by all the other Zodiac guys gathered round the flower-clad Hatori and the busy looking Shigure who was hiding what he was working on.

"Here, starchild!" Shigure placed a daisy crown on Hiro's head.

"Who put what in his food?" Hiro said staring in awe at the idiot-hippy who was pirouetting across the lawn, not even conscious enough to take the crown off his head and stamp on it like there was no tomorrow.

"The curse is gone! The curse is gone!" Shigure sang, and found a victim to test his theory on by the name of Saki Hanajima, and again he wasn't a dog nor was he in his birthday suit.

Kyo held the shaking Tohru closely to his chest letting her cry on his shoulder. He loved this girl…more than anything else in the world and wanted to know her problems wanted her to complain wanted her to be together with him. He kissed her wet forehead and pushed away the strands of hair covering her face. She was beautiful even when she was crying. Tohru looked up into Kyo's brown almost red eyes and he kissed her. He needed to wipe away those worries those fears for her as she had done for him. She understood now, why she loved this man, why she fell for him and found it in this simple kiss. Kyo held her close and intensified the kiss, running his tongue along her bottom lip, waiting for entrance, and with it they swore to each other their love, love that would never die, love that would always have problems but almost always have solutions to those problems.

Kyo broke away for air and picked Tohru up. She smiled at him lovingly, her misty eyes never breaking away from her love's own.

"Tohru…I love you"

"I love you too, Kyo"

And with that Kyo carried her to the house, even though, as Tohru had said, she was completely capable of walking. Both not even noticing the curse that was broken, broken by the cat, not only defeating the rat, but finding love that would forever last.

By the time Kyo and Tohru, Tohru still in Kyo's arms, had gotten to the house, absolute pandemonium had broken out like a plague, no not one plague but two! Yes there was a plethora of plagues condemning the house. Shigure and Ayame and Momiji, with their new-found-most-exciting-thing-in-the-world, were "teaching" Hatori how to hug, adding to the pure love-hate relationship of the family. Hiro, still adorned in flowers, gazed out at the proceedings dazed and his vision not focused, like all the other Zodiac members who, had by now been showered with flowers and "Good Morning Starshine" and "Turn, Turn, Turn" and Shigure and Ayame and Momiji doing the cancan were replaying over and over again.

What had this world come too?

Shigure, who had spotted the two love birds and had his sights on them, skipped over to the pair and, much to Kyo's horror, disgust, fear, pain and all other Pandora's-Box-ish things, hugged them.

Tohru and Kyo, both being the not-so-quick-to-catch-on-type, had little light bulbs go off in their heads.

"Holy…" Kyo murmured.

"Why, the hell, am I not a cat…" Kyo muttered, mostly to himself.

"Oh, well, you, dumb-butt, and dear Tohru, have…BROKEN THE CURSE!" Shigure and Ayame and Momiji shouted together in equally annoying, equally sing-song voices.

"What…" Tohru and Kyo said together.

Momiji leapt up and hugged Tohru and, as expected, turned neither bunny nor nakey.

Kyo turned and hugged Tohru, and did he just stood there, planted to the spot, wanting to never stop this warm feeling, this connection, with Tohru. He kissed her lips lightly but decided at the last moment to deepen the kiss and cupped her head bringing him closer, closer than he ever was before now.

Shigure popped his head in and said, "Whoa, so I guess…you guys have something going on, dontchya? Care to tell?"
