Lil'Pup: This chapter will be in Shizuru's point of view. I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Fruits Basket. By the way, would anyone mind drawing a picture of Shizuru and the Mudubachi Trio together as six year olds?

The Mudubachi Trio and I had been walking two blocks before stopping in front of a huge house.

"So this is where you guys live, huh." I said putting a sucker in my mouth.

"Kind of, along with some of the others." Hatori said.

I raised an eyebrow wondering what he was talking about, but I thought it might be better not to ask. "So should I be afraid of the head of the family, or do you think things will run over smoothly?" I asked.

"I don't think he's going to be happy about it," Shigure said. "We're not supposed to let outsiders know about our secret."

"I heard the last person who let someone find out our secret they were put in the room." Ayame said. "What if the three of us are put in the room? I don't want to be put in the room!"

"Get a hold of yourself." I said. I felt kind of bad because it's my fault if they get sent to this room thing. I knew Ayame wasn't making it up because I saw the fear in their eyes.

They lead me inside, we took our shoes off by the door, and they had a servant take us to the head guy.

"Master Jungo, Ayame, Hatori, and Shigure are here. They have a guest with them."

There was a moment of silence then a voice said, "Let them in."

As we walked in I took a quick look at the head. I was kind of surprised to see how young he was, he didn't look much older then twenty. He had black hair and dark eyes to match. This Jungo guy had some spiritual energy going on, but I don't think he knew how to fight because he didn't seem to have any muscle. But hey, I'm six years old and I took down five vampires. What kind of muscles can I have?

Master Jungo sat there a moment before saying, "So who is your friend?"

"This is Shizuru Kuwabara; she goes to school with us." Hatori said.

"I don't see how you three could have made a friend in just one day, so what is the real reason you brought this girl to me?" Jungo said.

Man, what is this guy's problem? "In all do respect sir, I am friends with the three of them, and the reason they brought me here was because I know about the animal sprits inside of them." I said hoping I didn't sound rude. I was never really polite to my elders, or anyone for that matter. But since the guys seemed to be scared of him I thought it would be better not to get them in trouble. But it didn't seem to work.

"YOU FOOL'S! YOU WERE ONLY AT SCHOOL FOR ONE DAY AND YOU HAVE YOUR SECRET EXPOSED?" Jungo yelled at them. "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?"

"Well sir, it wasn't really their fault, they didn't tell me, I just saw their animal spirts." I said. This guy wasn't sacry, but he was a jerk. We're kids for crying out loud, we're not perfect.

"Shut your mouth girl," Jungo spat at me.

I don't know what this guy's problem was, but I have had enough of him, "Look," I said still trying not to sound to rude. "I have been able to see spirts ever since I can remember. I just saw the animal's spirts in them, and that's how I found out."

Jungo seemed to calmed down a little bit, "So you did not hug them, nor did any other girl at your school?" He asked.

"Well I didn't hug them, but what does hugging have to with anything?" I asked.

Instend of answering me, he said, "I want you to hug Shigure."

Raising an eyebrow I walked over to Shigure. I have never been the hugging type, but I wanted to know what everyone was talking about. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, then heard a poof. When the smoke cleared Shigure was gone and a little black puppy was in my arms. Of course I knew the puppy was Shigure because the puppy was the same dog spirt I saw in him.

"Okay, I guess this explains alot," I said. I didn't see what the big deal was. When someone hugs them they turn to the spirt of the animals that are in side of them. But I guess they wouldn't want people to know so they don't have run test on them.

"Don't you want to know why we turn into animals?" Ayame asked.

I shugged, "Only if Master Jungo saids its okay, I don't want you guys to get in any more touble."

"It is okay if we tell you," Jungo said, "If I change my mind, I can simply have your memories erased."

Man, isn't he all heart?

"Do you know the story of the Chinese Zodiac?" Jungo asked.

I thought for a minute, "Oh yeah, the story when God invites all the animals to a banquet, and the rat, who was jealous of the cat, told him that the banquet was on a different night, so he missed it. So all the animals that did show up became the Zodiac."

Hatori looked at me, "Why don't you seemed surprised by any of this?"

Before I could answer, there was another poof, and Shigure was human again. Only he didn't have anything on. "I can see were that would be a problem."

Ayame laughed. "See, she doesn't care about the curse."

How is that a curse. They get hugged, they turn into the animals of the Zodiac that spirts are in their body. Hardly a curse. Then something came across my mind, "Hey, do you turn into animals when everyone hugs you, or just certain people?"

"We only turn into animals if we're hugged by girls who don't have spirts of the Zodiac in them." Shigure said putting his clothes back on.

"Back to what Hatori said," Jungo stated, "Why does none of this seem to shock you?"

"Well you see," but before thing the sliding door was burst open and at least ten armed men came in. "What the heck?"

"We have you surrounded, give us the girl and no one gets hurt," the guy who must have been the leader said.

"What is the meaning of this?" Jungo said, "Who are you."

Just then a voice called out. "Is Shizuru in there? Is she alright?" The men stood aside to let the women in, and wouldn't you know it, Aglaia came running in and hugged me.

"This would be the reason why nothing surprises me," I said looking over to them trying to get out of Aglaia embrace.

"I was so worried when you didn't go home after school," Aglaia said, "I had someone use a spell to track you down and when I found out you were with boys I thought they were going to molest you."

"WHAT?" the four of them shouted.

At my look of irritation Aglaia said, "But I take it had nothing to do with sex at all, huh?"

"They only took me here because there was something I needed to talk about with the head of their family," I said pointing to the boys and Jungo.

"What did you need to talk about that was so important that you couldn't call me first?" Aglaia asked.

"None of you business," I said, "What do you care anyways, it's not like your my mom or anything. And would you please tell those guys to go home, look at what they did to that wall!"

"Our bad," the soldier boys said, "We can fix it." And they went to work.

"See, no harm done," Aglaia said, "Now what is all of this about?"

"Wait, who are you?" Hatori said. "How do you even know her?

"She trains me." I said.

"Shizuru," Ayame and Shigure said walking over to me, "Why didn't you tell us you knew someone so beautiful?"

"Oh... You guys are so cute," She said giving them a hug. They seemed to be waiting for a poof, but there was none.

"What? Why didn't you turn into animals?" Jungo asked running over and glaring at them.

"There only six," Aglaia said, "I may be hot, but I don't think I would try anything."

"Why didn't they transform?" Hatori asked me.

"Maybe it's because she's a vampire." I said

"Shizuru, why did you tell him that? Aglaia asked acting like a drama queen.

"Because their my friends and I trust them," I said simply. Maybe if they knew I could trust them, they would trust me with their secret and Jungo wouldn't make Hatori erase my memories and make them go to a different school.

Jungo looked at me, "Even with everything you found out today, you trust the three of them and you still want them as friends?

Shigure and Ayame looked at me teary eyed. "You really want to be are friend?" They asked/

"Of course I'm your friend, thats what I've been saying." I told them. Are they thick or what?

"Hey you guys are the Sohmas right?" Aglaia asked. When they nodded she said, "So you guys have the Zodiac curse right?"

"You know about the curse?" Jungo asked, "How?"

"Hun, I'm a ten thousand year old vampire, I know alot of things." Aglaia said, "Plus I knew the tiger about two-hundred years ago. By the way do your friends have the spirts too?"

I wasn't able to say anything because Shigure talked first. "I'm Shigure and I'm the dog.

"I'm Ayame and I'm the snake."

Hatori didn't say anything so they did it for him. "This is Hatori and he's the dragon." said Ayame.

"But he turns to a sea-horse when he's hugged." Shigure said.

A sea horse? He has the spirt of the dragon, why does he turn into a sea horse? Wait are sea horse a type of dragon but everyone just thinks their a fish? Many people don't believe in dragons so it could be true. Wait, what did Jungo say?

"I will trust you two with our secret, but reveal it and there will be extreme consequences. The same goes for you three." He said glaring at Hatori, Ayame, and Shigure.

We all bowed and said, "Yes, Master Jungo."

OUTSIDE

"I can't believe Jungo is letting you keep your memories." Hatori said.

"And we don't have to go to different schools, this is great." Shigure said.

"Shizuru gets to be our friend, YAY." Ayame said.

"Today went better than I thought it would." I said. "I got three new friends, I beat up some older boys, and I had a good lunch. By the way, can you have that guy make me lunch again?"

"Sure thing," said Aglaia, "But we need to go train now, so say bye to your little friends."

I looked at the Mudubachi Trio and I felt a smile come to my face. "Bye guys, see you tomarrow at school."

"BYE!" Shigure and Ayame shouted. Hatori just came me a smile.

I can't wait for the next day at school.
