Chapter 2 – Talking Animals?

"Hey Ray! Let's see what pets you chose!" Tyson shouted.

"Yeah, I'm curious what kind of pets you chose too!" Max replied.

"Okay okay... hang on, and stop jumping around Tyson! You're gonna scare them!" Tyson made a face and stopped jumping around. Ray bent down and opened the cages. Takaiyu and Tomomi stepped out and looked around. Takaiyu walked to Kai and started purring, while Tomomi walked to Ray and wagged her tail.

"Wow, never knew cats liked Kai! Hahaha!" Tyson laughed. Just than, Kenny came into the dojo.

"Hiya guys! What's with all the commotion?"

"We're looking at Ray's pets! Wanna see?" Max said. Kenny nodded and walked to where all the guys were seating.

"Oh by the way Tyson, I think Gramps is looking for you. He said something about you missing morning training..." Kenny said, looking at Tyson. Tyson suddenly went shouting " UH-OH! I forgot about morning training! Hey, see you guys later!" After saying that, he dashed out of the dojo to look for gramps.

"This I gotta see!" Kenny said and dashed out to catch up with Tyson.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Max shouted, as he followed Kenny out of the dojo.

"The freaks are all going out to see the 'battle of Gramps v.s Tyson' eh? Sheesh. I'm gonna go take a walk...I have a feeling this is gonna take a long time..." Kai said to Ray. Then he headed out of the dojo to the park. Takaiyu meowed disappointedly than walked beside Tomomi and lied down. Ray sighed and looked around the empty looking dojo.

"Hmm...Oh well...guess I'll take a nap while I wait for them." Ray sighed. He leaned against the wall of the dojo and soon fell asleep. Takaiyu and Tomomi looked at each other and sighed.

"Hey Tomomi, how long have we been in animal form already??" Takaiyu said to Tomomi.

"I don't know...But even if we do know how long we've been in animal form, we still don't know how to get into our human form now, do we?" Tomomi replied and lied down.

"Why did the elders send us here to protect them in the first place? And besides, I don't see how we can actually protect them in domestic animal forms." Takaiyu said irritatedly.

"If I'm not wrong, we are suppose to find a way to transform into out human and non-domesticated animal form." Tomomi said, lifting her head.

"And how are we suppose to do so? Sigh, can't the elders give us clues or something?" Takaiyu replied and rolled over onto her back.

"If they could, I guess they will...somehow...Ah. The others are coming back. Shh..." Tomomi whispered.

"That was hilarious!!" Kenny laughed as he walked into the dojo with a laughing Max and a pissed looking Tyson.

"Stop laughing at me! It's not nice to get whacked by your own grandpa in front of your friends!" Tyson shouted.

"Fine fine! Sheesh, you are so hot-tempered!" Max said. At that moment, Kai walked in. Takaiyu noticed him and immediately ran to him and meowed. Kai, for once, looked at her and picked her up. Takaiyu snuggled happily in his arms. Ray was woken up by all the noises. He opened his eyes and stretched. Tomomi walked over to him and barked happily while wagging her tail. Ray stroked her back than stood up.
