"Good idea," Yuki replied as Kali landed on her feet after leaping from the tree branch up high. That was another thing the two had in common besides music--athleticism. Both were very swift and agile, able to move without a sound and without an indication of their presence. Though whereas Kali was faster and her movements more quick and sharp, Yuki was physically more powerful--far more strong than her outward appearance could have indicated. Despite this, Yuki considered their musical talents far more important and far more worthy of pride--after all, they had gained their musical abilities not thanks to the experiments of some insane scientist but through years of hard work and grueling practice.

As they began to walk towards the dorm room, Yuki's mind drifted towards the topic of the scientist and his experiments. She wasn't even entirely sure just what the hell had happened--one day, she found a note on her bedstand, a note explaining rather politely that the DNA of a fox had been mixed in with her own DNA due to a failed experiment. At first, Yuki had refused to believe it--this was impossible, she had been nowhere near any such experiment, so how was DNA supposed to get into her? The only way was that it had to have been deliberate--a virus of some kind. But that was completely far-fetched, so she regarded the letter as nothing more than a prank.

That was when Yuki realised that, all of a sudden, she was exceptionally stronger than she had been the previous day--suddenly, things that were way too heavy for her to carry on her own were not only being lifted with ease, she could even move as swiftly as if she wasn't carrying anything at all--impossible.

The final nail in the coffin, as far as she was concerned, came when she looked in the mirror to see if she had suddenly gained muscle between the night before and that morning. Yuki had nearly had a heart attack when she saw the ears of a fox poking out from the layers of short, dark hair. That was when she realised it was true--that the letter had not been a prank, but that it was the cruel reality.
