~Shino/Dog~

Kai was petting me, but I was freaking out. This was not good....well at least she didn't run away screaming. Kaoru leaned close to me. "What do we do Nono-Nii?" I sighed. "Um....I...don't really know how to explain this....but I kinda have to go!" I grabbed my cloths in my mouth and headed for the nearest bush. I could hear Kai though. "COOL!! He can talk!!" No sooner did I get behind the bush than I changed back. Whew...that was too close. I threw my cloths back on and headed back out. "S...so that's kinda the reason we have been home schooled...." Aaralyn was staring at me, but pointed at Tatsuya and Kaoru. "C...can they turn into dogs too?" I shook my head. "N..not exactly...you see our family is...different." Tatsuya sighed. "We're cursed. Each generation has 12 members of our family that's possessed by the vengeful spirits of the Chinese Zodiac." I nodded. "When hugged by a member if the opposite sex or if we become weak we change into our animal forms." Kai was smiling. "Awesome!!!" I smiled. At least someone thought it was cool. I looked at Aaralyn and waited for her reaction. I didn't want to have to get her memories erased. I thought we could have been friends. What was I thinking. Friends? It would be better if her memories were erased. I only had a year anyway...
