Chapter 31

He sighs and says, "I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to worry about it." Jager looks at him with his now golden eyes. It's two days before Halloween and the changes are appearing on both Jager and TK. "I know it's just that I'm getting edgy. I think TK is too. The changes are speeding up and it's just really hard to cover them up. I'll be happy after Halloween is over and the spell becomes dormant again." Jager sighs and then flops onto the couch.

He studies his partner, for Jager wasn't covering them at this moment. Jager's hair has become tawny in colour but still has white highlights, but that will mostly change after tonight. He looks at his partner's fingers and could see the nails shaping into claws. He could see the hair on his partner's arms also has grown and will soon be called fur, for all over his partner's body, the body hair has been growing longer and the colour is the same tawny that his hair is. Jager's ears have been getting longer and more pointed. They also seem to be traveling to the top of Jager's head. His partner's skull was also going under changes too, as well as Jager's bone structure. His partner also has pointed teeth and his canines were also longer then they use to be. Jager's nose doesn't look to human now, and he'll bet that when Jager fully changes, he'll have a short muzzle with a wet nose. Jager's also having a hard time sitting and walking, for it looks like Jager's growing a tail and his legs were changing so he could walk Digigrade with only four toes with retractable claws and his big toe is moving up his foot too.

He sighs and turns to watch the TV. He feels guilty about not telling his partner about the spell and if TK and Jager weren't connected, they wouldn't have this problem. They have received the costumes from Mimi and had let Mimi have a good look at the changes happening with the 'twins'. Mimi and Palmon promise not to say a word about what's happening to Jager and TK. So now the costumes were being saved for next year, though TK's costume might need resizing though.

He grins as he thinks about TK's changes. TK's not going to look like Jager once the changes are finished. TK's hair is now reddish brown and his eyes were green. TK's canines were also much longer then Jager's and TK has a problem with them showing when his mouth was closed. Like Jager, TK's ears have been traveling towards the top of his head as well as getting longer and more pointed. TK seems to be going Digigrade as well, but with only with three toes that seem to be changing into hooves. TK's fingernails have also shaping into claws. TK is also getting more muscle too. The bone structure and skull have been undergoing changes too. If he's right, then TK might find himself with a one or two set of horns. TK's also has a short tail already, and it's bushy. Same as with Jager, TK's body hair has been growing longer but thicker then Jager's. All in all, he'll have an easy time telling the pair apart.

Sadly, Patamon got into an argument with TK, and if Jager's edgy, TK's hypersensitive. He has gone to comfort Patamon and help explain that it's because of the spell that's unnerving TK. Patamon has decided to wait until after Halloween to talk with TK. He knows that TK feels horrible about hurting Patamon's feelings and Jager has talked TK out of going to the Digital world to straighten things out with Patamon. The argument was simple; TK and Patamon might get into an even larger argument then before. Grumpily, TK gave in and TK handed over his D-3 to Jager for safekeeping.

He turns to see how Jager's doing, only to find Jager fast asleep. That was another thing too, Jager seems to fall asleep easier the he use to. But then, TK does it too. It's more to conserve energy then anything. Both of them also eat more they use to. But then, they're healthy as well. The energy is most likely being used to help fuel the changes of their bodies.

He takes the remote from Jager's hand and changes the channel. Other then Mimi and Palmon knowing, they have kept this a secret from the other Digidestine. It was to keep them from worrying as well as to give them a large shock on Halloween. He can't wait to see people's looks when they see Jager and TK fully transformed.

(--------------------------------------Jager------------------------------------------)

He stares at the image in the mirror. He can't believe that he's looking at himself. He's fully transformed and he watches as the tip of his tail twitches. He sighs and opens his jaws wide. He notes the fangs and other teeth too. His shoulders feel weird but so does most of his body.

He kind of looks like a cross between a canine and a feline, he's slender with a bit of a mane on his head. The mane is not like a lion's, but a bit more like a horse's mane. His muzzle is broad and longer then he expected it to be. His fur coat is still tawny in colour but there are now highlights of brown and black. Kind of like a German Shepard he meet once. His ears are tall and point straight up in the air. On the backs of his ears are covered in red fur. He stands over six feet tall now, but not overly so. His tail isn't as bushy as he thought it would be, but the tip does have a tuff of brown fur on it. His eyes were silted but still gold in colour.

He then drops onto all fours and moves a few steps forward and then backwards. It feels perfectly nature to move around like this. He hears Revmon open the door and he turns to face his partner. He finds Revmon just staring at him with his mouth open. He blinks a few times before realizing that he's not standing up straight and then pushes his front part up. He then stands on his toes.

He watches as Revmon recovers and asks, "What's with you being on all fours?" He sighs and says in a voice that seems to be rougher then usual, "I just wanted to see something." Revmon sighs and asks, "Like how much of an animal you look like on all four?" He feels his ears flatten on his head and then relaxes before answering. "I just wanted to know why my shoulder feel weird." He tells his partner, his ears were taking turns scanning the room for noises.

His partner just stares doubtfully at him and then says, "I know that your fur coat cover you, but you still might want to use something to cover your waist." He watches as Revmon leaves, he picks up Revmon's sent when his partner leaves the room. Then he sniffs and finds that Revmon cooked breakfast. He pats as he breaths in the smell. He then close his mouth and looks around for something to wear. Today is the day before Halloween and he has today to November 1st to get a hold of this new body and the new instincts. He finds a pair of old baggy pants. He shortens them by using his claws to cut them. He then makes an opening for his tail. He nods as he looks at his handy work and puts them on.

He then heads towards the kitchen area to get his breakfast. He's already called in sick for both him and for TK. He now just hopes that TK doesn't mind using the guest room for the next few days.

(-----------------------------------------TK-----------------------------------------)

He just stares as the image in the mirror. He slept in until nine and he just got up. He noticed something off with his mirror and had turn to study it, only to find that there's nothing wrong with the mirror, it's means that there's something wrong with him. He has a hard time absorbing the fact that he looks like this.

He now has two pairs of horns on his head. One looks like rams horns and the others like spiral dragon horns. His ears were like a bull's or deer's and were just as moveable. His eyes were still green and his snout was much broader with his fangs hanging up. His very tall, like close to seven feet with out counting his pair of spiral horns. His also has more bulk then he has ever had in his life. His coat is still that same reddish brown colour and he doesn't have anything that looks to be hair on his head. His pants were ripped and only covering his… waist. His tail made its hole and his tail is quite long and not too bushy too. The tail must be like four feet long and with the last bit being tufted with bushy fur. He has three hooves on each foot and he can wiggle them a bit.

He just sighs and then his stomach growls, he then turns away from the mirror and gently opens his door. He ducks his head down and scans the hallway. He then moves into the hallway and closes the door behind him. He sighs as he makes the floor creek as he moves towards the kitchen.

He notes that the curtains were closed, much to his relief. He reads a note from his mom about how later she'll be working tonight and for the next week too. He nods his head as he thinks about it. He then turns to the frigid and begins to look through it. He sighs and takes out some fruit. He soon eats two apples, some honey melon, lettuce, and it beginning on some carrots. Blinks at this, he then figures that he's more of a vegetarian now then before.

He soon finishes off the carrots and picks up the phone. He dials Jager's number and Revmon picks up. "Hello?" Revmon asks. "Hey, Revmon. It's TK." He says in a gruff voice. "Hey TK, when are you arriving?" Revmon asks. "Soon. Err, could either you or Jager come pick me up through the computer? I believe I'll attract too much attention if I try to walk there." He says to Revmon. Revmon then slowly asks, "Just how big are you?" "Almost seven feet." He says. "Thought so. Jager's only six. I'll pick you up. Just have the computer running, ok?" Revmon says. He agrees and they both hang up.

He makes sure that the computer is running and waits. Soon Revmon appears and he could tell that Revmon's studying him. "Well, you don't look like your feral. Come on." Revmon finally says. He blinks at that part about feral. He wonders just what Jager looks like to make Revmon call him feral.

They soon make it to the apartment and he looks around for Jager. "Hey!" Jager says, surprising him and Revmon. Jager rests his head on the back of the couch and is grinning like a mad cat creature. "Hey bro." He says with caution. "Sorry, just too hyper. It seems that someone in the building has catnip." Jager says, trying to sound sorry but it doesn't work. He blinks and asks, "You're hyper because of catnip?" Revmon nods and says, "He's calming down, which means that he's becoming immune to it." He watches as his bro just looks at Revmon with amusement in his eyes.

He just sighs at this, he's too use to having Jager the calm and responsible one between them. Seeing Jager act so… childish was kind of unnerving. He sighs and walks to the larger easy boy chair. He sits down and just watches as Jager's tail swish around. If Jager's anything like a cat, then he should be pouncing about… now.

He watches as Jager pins Revmon to the floor. He tries to hold back a laugh but he's can't help it. It's so funny and when Jager moves off of Revmon, his brother did it on all fours. He watches as Revmon glares at Jager and then as Revmon tries to grab Jager. Jager moves to the side and Revmon then also moves on all fours. He watches as Revmon and Jager chase each other. He was surprise to see that Jager moves kind of like a mixture of a puppy and a kitten. He just decides to just watch this interaction between the two. He just kind of wishes for a camera to capture this moment.
