Chapter3: The Curse

SATURDAY

Tohru woke up from Yuki silently shaking her shoulder, trying to wake her up. "Yuk…" she was interrupted by Yuki hushing her "Yuki-kun," she whispered "what's going on?"

"I'm taking you to a movie, right?" he asked quietly, "Well, we should sneak out so Shigure won't try and come along." He smiled sweetly down at her, "now, you should get dressed, and meet me down stairs, ok?"

"Ok." Tohru got a short summer dress, which was light yellow and had little cherries all over it. When she came down stairs she saw Yuki standing at the door waiting for her. She went up to him and took his hand, as they went out side.

After they walked a bit, Yuki looked over at Tohru with a worried expression on "um, Honda-san…" he said "there is something I have to tell you…"

"What is it Yuki-kun?" Tohru asked.

Yuki pulled her into the trees that were next to them. "See this?" he asked as he pulled out a necklace that was hidden underneath his shirt. (a/n: he is wearing it, duh) it had a Chinese character-shaped pendent on it. "Do you know what this is?" he asked.

"No…" Tohru said.

"It's the Chinese symbol for 'rat'." He said. He saw the confused look on her face "well, Honda-san, you see…" he sighed, he knew Akito would be furious if he told her, and he was also worried that she may not accept him "Our family has this curse…" he explained the curse to her, and he grew worried, because her eyes got wider and wider.

"Oh, Yuki-kun… I-I had no clue…" she said "so, If I hugged you, you would change into a rat?"

"Well, you see, we are lucky because we have this." He held the necklace out for her to see again. "This, for some reason, keeps us from transforming… One day stupid Kyo and I were fighting about who knows what, then I punched him in the face and he went flying into a store. The woman in the store said she knew about the curse, and she had something got help us. So she gave us these necklaces… and they worked."

"Wow…" Tohru said "um... Yuki-kun… what does your rat form look like?" she asked.

Yuki smiled "you really want to see it?" he asked, she nodded. "Okay." He said, and he took off his necklace. "Now, you have to hug me, if you want to-OOF!" he was cut off, because Tohru lanced herself at him, and the moment her torso touched his, there was a poof, and where Yuki was standing (a/n: or maybe falling? lol :P) was a little gray rat.

"You are so cute!" Tohru cooed Yuki blushed a little bit as Tohru picked him up.

Then Yuki's eyes grew wide 'I forgot to tell Honda-san about us changing back!' "Erm, Honda-san… When we change back…" Yuki was cut off by another poof and, there was Yuki sitting there, naked.

"EEK!" Tohru yelled and looked away, while Yuki was hurriedly putting his clothes on.

"Like I was saying…" he said blushing, and tapping on Tohru's shoulder, signaling it was ok to look. She turned around "when we change beck, where naked…"

Tohru giggled "thanks for telling me."

Yuki smiled "Let's go." He said linking arms with Tohru, as they headed out of the trees, and started walking to the movie theater.
