Authors Note: Sorry everyone that I have not updated in a long time. I've just needed some time to spend with my family and get caught up with things. I wanted to thank you all for all the support last year and I'm glad that you have stuck with this story. Thank you so much! Without you I probably wouldn't have continued my story.

"Shigure, don't you think it's about time that you got yourself a driver's license?" Hatori asked Shigure over the phone. Shigure had just called a few moments ago and is already asking Hatori for something. "Fine, I'll drive you. I can't do it all the time though. You need to be more responsible."

When Hatori hung up I slowly walked towards him. He sighed and shook his head. "Is everything all right? What did Shigure want?"

"Yes, everything's fine. He just needs me to drive to the Sohma lake house." He said nonchalantly. They have a lake house?! "It seems like you and I are going to have to spend the weekend with Shigure, Yuki, Kyo and Tohru."

"No,no,no,no. There no way I can go. I'll just be a burden to the rest of you." I said. Hatori just looked at me skeptically.

"You're coming. You spend way to much time inside. Some fresh air will be good for you. Got it?" Hatori asked. I just shook my head. I guess I have no say in this. I decided that it would be a bad idea to try to get out of this and just kept my mouth shut.

On the drive down to the lake house I had to squeeze in between Tohru and Kyo. We didn't talk much on the ride there. I just looked out the window and at the pretty scenery. I wonder what the occasion was for us to suddenly be going to the lake house. Along with that thought, I wondered why Tohru was also going with us. It's not that I didn't want her to come, It just seemed odd. It was true that at schooled she seemed to talk to Yuki and Kyo a lot. But why? Yuki seems so popular, he could invited many people, why only her? What do I care? I didn't even want to come. I just continued to stare out the window.

When we got to the lake house Shigure suggested that Kyo and Yuki took Tohru and I for a walk. It seemed as if he wanted us out of the house. Along with that he warned about a bear named Jason. Jason? Wasn't that a fictional character in a horror movie. After a few outbursts and a few disagreements we finally left.

No talked while we walked. It was all just awkward silence. After a few minutes Tohru suddenly bowed and apologized to Kyo and Yuki. The sudden outburst took them by surprise. Yuki asked her what she was apologizing for and when Kyo went to say something he stepped forward. He then tripped.

When he stood up Tohru looked to were he tripped. Her face turned white and she yelled, "It's Jason's footprint."

"Jason?! Where?" Kyo asked, surprised. After Tohru and Kyo finished freaking out about Tohru stepped forward to get closer to them, but tripped down the side of the hill. I quickly tried to grab her arm, but in the process I, myself, slid down the hill. Yuki and Kyo also tried to catch her.

At the bottom of the hill I slowly stood up. I rubbed the side of my hip. It really hurt. I look up to see if everyone else was alright. That's when my eyes widened and I covered my mouth.

Arguing before me was an orange cat and a grey rat. Kyo and Yuki. I looked back and forth between the two. They didn't seem to notice me. Kyo and Yuki, they just... turned into animals. I was dumbfounded. I always knew that there was something different about them. Wait, so when Hatori said that Kyo was like me, he was talking about him not really being part of the zodiac but still turning into an animal.

After a few minutes Tohru started to laugh. Yuki and Kyo looked over at her. She apologized and told them that it was because they were fighting. Yuki and Kyo both apologized too, for making her worry. Kyo's eyes wandered over to my surprised face.

"Kitsune you didn't see that did-" POOF! Yuki and Kyo turned back into humans.

"Nyaaahh!" I gasped as I covered my eyes. I turned around and waited for them to get dressed.

After they got dressed they tried to coax the fact that they had just turned into animals. I stood up, brushed off my blue skirt and laughed.

"I'm sorry, haha. It's just that, I wasn't expecting you two to be the cat and rat and I'm also surprised by the fact that the cat and rat went on vacation together." I giggled one more time. Yuki, Kyo, and even Tohru were surprised to hear that come out of my mouth. I just walked away and proceeded back to the lake house.

The next day I decided to take a little look at the lake. It was pretty, but I wasn't much of a lake person. After a while I got bored of looking at the same, constant waves and headed back to the lake house. I saw that Ayame had came as well. Maybe there's something interesting going on at the house.

I closed the door quietly when I walked inside. No one seemed to notice that I came in. As I was about to say something I heard Ayame speak out on the porch. I quietly got a little closer so I could hear the conversation a little better. They were talking about a wedding that had just gone on. Someone name Kana just got married. Kana, what a pretty name. Ayame said that he wanted Hatori to go into that wedding and sweep Kana off her feet. At one point was Hatori in love with Kana? I don't know why, but Hatori doesn't seem like the type to fall in love. For the first time in a while I heard Hatori slightly laugh. I smiled. I knew exactly why. Kana probably found out about the curse and that's why she left him. He's just glad that she's happy. I suddenly frowned. He didn't deserve that kind of treatment. I agreed with what Ayame. Hatori's showed so much kindness to me, he deserved to be happy. He deserved to find someone that he can wake up to and smile every day.

The door opened behind me. So the three men didn't notice that I had just heard their conversation I greeted them loudly.

"We're back!" I called. The three walked back inside. I looked at them, trying to look joyful. One day, hopefully soon, the curse will break. Then we can finally find that one person that makes us smile every day.

Authors Note: I was thinking about posting what qualities someone born the year of the fox poses. Psh, it's not the year of the snake. This year is the year of the fox.

If you don't want that then we can just make o nigiris and dangos and sit on the rooftop in the place were wishes come true. *If you get that reference then you will officially be my best friend*
