The three pairs were working rather quietly whilst Kakashi-sensei relaxed and indulged in the new book Naruto gave him. Well, it was peaceful until Kakashi heard a shocking scream that sounded like it was coming from Sakura. Considering he didn't think she was in that much danger, after all, they are on a farm, he took his time getting to the source of the screaming.

To his shock, when he got there, he saw a worried Sakura and Tohru crowding around a little grey rat whilst Naruto stood beside the girls with a really puzzled expression across. Yuki was nowhere to be found.

"I'll go get Kyo-kun, he can explain what happened!" Tohru stuttered as she ran off in Kyo and Sasukes direction.

"So what happened here? What's so interesting about that rat? And where did Sohma go?" Kakashi asked, trying to sound interested.

"Let me tell ya what happened," Naruto said when he noticed that Sakura was still in shock. "Tohru and Sakura-chan came running up to me and Yuki to tell us something, and, well, Sakura tripped and grabbed on to Yuki, and well…"

"He turned in to a rat?" Kakashi laughed.

"Yes."

"You're kidding me, right?" He wasn't expecting that. He bent over by Sakura to pick up Yuki. "So, you're Yuki?"

The little grey rat looked up with large purple eyes and nodded.

"Kyo-kun! Kyo-kun!" Kyos ears perked up at the sound of his name. He sighed, not sure if he was happy to see Tohru or just pissed off that she was there.

"Sounds like that Honda girl is calling for you." Sasuke said in his monotone voice. "Do you and her have any special connections?"

"Of course not, and stop asking questions, you meddling asshole."

Kyo ruffled his brow as a puffed-out Tohru came running up to him and the Uchiha.

"Kyo, it's an emergency. Yuki has-" She huffed.

He let his orange eyes roll back as his face-palmed. "Don't tell me he transformed?"

"Uh-huh, but it wasn't his fault, I promise,"

Sasuke wondered what the two out-siders were talking about. What did they mean by 'Yukis transformation'? As far as he knew, they didn't have any chakra, energy for ninjitsu and ninja arts, so how could he transform?

"What's all this about transforming?" Sasuke approached Kyo and Tohru, but accidentally bumping into Kyo, pushing him into Tohru. A puff of smoke erupted and left Sasuke wide-eyed. Kyo was gone, and replaced with an orange cat.

"Sasuke! I knew you were a jerk! Why'd you push me into her?" The orange cat snapped.

Sasuke stayed silent, his mouth gaping. This must've been what they meant by transforming. The orange cat, that appeared to be Kyo, began swinging his paws, claws out, at Sasuke. Obviously, Sasuke was about to jump away from the swings, but he was still clueless.

Tohru lead Sasuke back to the other team members with Kyo in her arms.

Sakura was clutching Yuki delicately; she didn't appear to be in shock anymore.

"So, it appears that you Sohmas can talk as animals, so would you mind explaining why you're like this? It's obviously not some kind of jutsu." Kakashi asked with curiosity.

Yuki shook his head as he begun to explain what was going on. "It's a curse."

"A curse?" Sakura exclaimed. 'Maybe it's they're like Sasuke…' She thought, thinking about the curse mark on his shoulder.
