It was the end of school. I had to practice the instruments later, after my hour with Nekozawa. By the time I left the school it would be so late... But it's worth it for this awesome new club.

Today he was going to demonstrate a magic spell that would turn a mouse into a rabbit. Well, that's what he said anyway, but I totally don't believe him. There is no way that he can transform one life form into a completely different life form. There just isn't any way.

I watched him skeptically as he ground up some herbs in a small black bowl, muttering that ancient language again while staring down into the book that lay before the little brown mouse. Poor thing, I thought to myself. His time is going to be horribly wasted...

"The preparations have been made," Nekozawa rasped out, smiling that evil grin. He stepped over to my side of the table, cloak flowing, and stood very close. A bit too close. I blushed and stepped away slightly, but he directed his grin at me. "You'll have to hold on to me," he whispered. "This way you don't accidentally get changed into the rabbit instead of mousy here."

I lowered my head under the black hood of my cloak and lightly grabbed his sleeve. He giggled evilly and turned to the rodent. More muttering, and tossing that mushed up herb stuff on the mouse. It picked up the bits and pieces, swallowing them whole. My heart completely melted at the sight. How ADORABLE. I want that mouse. Maybe when he's done fooling around with it I can keep it. Nekozawa's chants were being ignored by me as I fawned over the rodent in my head. I think his name should be Timothy. Or Travis. Something with a T. If it's a girl, it should be Tina-

Why is the table getting bigger? I thought the mouse was supposed to change, if anything at all.

...Why is my cloak so big?

Suddenly I was no longer holding onto Nekozawa, having lost my grip on the cloak's sleeve. My clothes were growing so large, and I couldn't see anything. The fabric's going to suffocate me! What the heck is going on? I screamed, "NEKOZAWAAAAA!!!"

Or rather, I tried to scream. What came out was something like "YIKATCHAAAAAA!!!"

The cloaks were removed, revealing the light of the single candle lit in the room on that table. The light was too bright, enormous and stunningly so. The mouse was still a mouse, just as it had been before. But it was a whole lot larger than it had been before. Nekozawa's face came into view, that grin gone, replaced by a shocked, open-mouthed face.

HUGE.

"Y-you're a bunny," he whispered. His breath rustled over my... fur... and I shivered. He lay on the floor before me and poked my nose gently. "You are a bunny rabbit. I turned you into a bunny rabbit."

"YIKUPATSUNIKALAKANETCHUKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" I squealed loudly. I won't translate... How the heck is this real? I'm a rabbit! I've changed from a human being to a rabbit. Where did my body go? How did I get this one? If my original body shrank, where did all the extra skin and organs go? Where did the fur come from, that isn't my hair colour? What the-

Nekozawa suddenly smiled warmly at me, a small blush creeping across the pale face of his under his black bangs. "You're so adorable, little bunny rabbit," he cooed at me, pushing me closer to him. I banged his nose with my foot, but my banging powers have decreased greatly with my body size... He giggled at my attempts and lifted me up into his hands. "It's ok, little rabbit," he whispered soothingly. "I'm just going to keep you warm and protect you... You're metabolism won't cooperate with the cool environment I have set up in this room. And I don't want a cat to find you. Although I love cats, I don't want you to be eaten up little one. Losing my new member that fast would be terrible."

So he carried me into the darkness of one of the corners, where it was pitch black and even my new bunny eyes could see nothing. But the creak of springs and shuffling of blankets told me we were on a thin single bed. He had curled me up close to his cheek and wrapped me in the fabric of his hood.

That cheek was so cold, yet so comforting at the same time. I snuggled into it willingly. Is my bunny-ness taking over? Am I being this docile because the bunny form is controlling my soul? Will I adapt to being a bunny?

"Don't worry, little one," he cooed at me again, rubbing my fur with his cheek. "It will wear off in an hour or so. The spell I used was temporary, maximum two hours."

I sighed, emitting a small squeak. Two whole HOURS of this? Being a bunny?

But when Nekozawa rubbed between my ears soothingly and protected me with is other hand, I snuggled in deeper. Maybe these two hours won't be that bad...
