To watch the leaves grow on the trees with you is out of question
I walk into this summer all alone the usual session
You feel your instinct then you act but was it your intention
To leave me down and broken now you've ended our ascension

She shielded her eyes from the sun's midday glare. It was clear and unusually hot for spring, the sun relentlessly glared at her. Her thoughts drifted to an orange haired boy, he'd be on a roof somewhere in a day like this, she was sure of it. Swinging her bag behind her she thought of event of the past year.

She wasn't sure how it all started, but one moment he was shouting "You stupid Yankee!" and then the next she felt soft lips on hers.

*

"Look I told you already! It. Wasn't. My. Fault!" Uo growled at Kyo, their fight had occurred while cleaning the classroom. Somehow they got tricked into doing it and are now blaming each other.

Kyo was being crankier than usual, and as cranky as he was he forgot about the whole turns-into-a-cat-when-hugged thing. He had been cornering Uotani more and more, she was now right up against a wall.

"Was to!" he argued back

"You were the one who fell for it Kyon-Kyon!"

"Don't call me Kyon-Kyon!" she shrugged at his words and retorted back

"Fine, CARROTS!"

"You stupid Yankee!" Instead of a growl she thought she'd hear, Uo suddenly found her arms pinned to the wall and his lips were on hers. It was as if he was trying to convey all his anger on the one kiss. It started rough and invading, somewhere along the way though she responded to it and it became softer and half apologetic. Uo was too surprised to push him away, and truth be told, she was kind of enjoying it.

When they finally came up for air she was surprised at the completely helpless position she was placed in. His grip was surprisingly tight on her arms.

"Let go of me Carrots." she hissed. Still in a daze he let her arm go.

"What the… What did you do to me!?" he demanded, finally realising the situation they had been in earlier. However his anger was somewhat subdued because he was distracted by her lips, which were slightly opened as she fought to get her breath back.

"What did I do!? You kissed me!"

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did!" Uo couldn't stand it anymore, she slapped him hard across the cheeks and fumed out of the classroom, only to return a few seconds later to grab her bag. When she left, Kyo was still left in the same place, only this time he was clutching his cheeks.

*

Uotani grinned at the sudden memory of their first kiss. As far as first kisses went, it wasn't half bad. It was rather pleasant actually. Oh, that is if you ignored her sharp slap across his cheeks.

The next day had been equally amusing, they fought as if nothing had happened. If anything, the almost friendly spats became downright violent. Throughout the day Kyo could be found kicking her steel pipe away before it crashed down on his head.

Of course, he never actually hit her. He was too much of a gentle… well lets just say he had too much pride to hit a girl.

The stupid cat was just that. Stupid. In an adorable way she supposed.

Her grin widened when she thought about how she found out he could turn into a cat.

*

"You're slow! Hurry up." Kyo growled when he saw that Uo was not next to him. He looked behind to see her dragging a huge net filled with red balls. The tension around them had not lessened in the month that passed by.

"Shut up! How come you get to carry the keys and I get to carry the balls?" she snapped, he was after all the boy here. And while she was no damsel in distress, the least he could do was help.

"Because you said that you didn't need any help taking the balls in." he smirked at her, his stance was a smug one that made her heart leap a bit. Frowning at herself… and him, she quickened her pace.

"I didn't think the teacher would tell you to go with me, idiot!" With a heave she manage to dump the huge bag of balls on his head.

"What the hell are you doing you stupid Yankee!?" he spluttered after the last ball fell on his head.

"What do you think?" It was her turn to smirk as he sat in the midst of balls. "Oh by the way, the red clashes very badly with your hair." Uo turned to walk away but was stopped by a strong grip.

"Oh no you don't. Help me gather the balls up!"

They were in the middle of another argument when Tohru, Yuki and Hana showed up.

"Oh dear." Was all Tohru could say when she saw them in a heated argument, balls bouncing on their heads as they threw the red spheres at one another.

"Oy. Stupid cat, hurry up. The bell already rang ten minutes ago. Don't you want to go home?" came Yuki's calm voice.

"Shut up you shitty androgynyc mouse! Anyway, we'd be finished if Miss Yankee here hadn't dumped the balls on my head!" Yuki was tempted to whack Kyo on the head, but held himself back as they were still in school.

"I wouldn't have dumped it on you head if you had helped me!" They were about to argue nose to nose again when Hana's haunting voice interrupted.

"I would like to go home. Please hurry. Uo-chan, I will wait for you at the gate. I believe we will have enough time to do our assignment before you go to work." With that, the gothic girl turned away. A confused Tohru offered them a smile before catching up with Hana. Yuki stood there for a moment before going the same way.

Grumbling and cursing, they both began picking up the scattered balls. This time, Kyo helped her with some of the burden.

"There. That's the last of them." Kyo said, putting the balls back in the bag. Well, he thought it was the last one. He didn't see the one by his feet which had rolled there just as he stood up. He held a hand to his neck and rubbed it. He didn't feel good. Maybe the rain was coming.

"Hurry up. You give the key to…" Uo never finished what she was about to say because at that point Kyo had tripped over the ball and fell towards her. She fell down and winced. Ready to scold him and tell him to get his heavy body off hers when there was a small sound and pinkish-orangeish smoke surrounded her.

"Now you've done it." Came the angry growl of… a cat? Her body which was on automatic response moved to throw the cat-thing away from it's sitting position on her stomach. Her fist swung in the direction.

"Watch it Yankee!" it yelped, leaping out of the way, incidentally moving closer to her face." Uo blinked a couple of times before opening her mouth to let loose a loud 'What the hell?!?' when it laid itself down on her mouth.

"Don't scream! Don't scream!" the cat said frantically. Somewhat distracted, she nodded and pushed it away from her mouth. She was still looking at it curiously when it moved off her and sat next to her feet. She crouched down in front of it and stared at the seemingly uncomfortable feline.

"What!?" it finally demanded.

"Kyon-Kyon?"

"Don't call me Kyon-Kyon!" it… he hissed, fur standing up in jagged lines around him.

It took a while for the fact to register in her mind, but when it did Uo burst out laughing and fell on the floor once more, clutching her stomach tightly.

"You… you…Cat!" she pointed at him and burst out in a fresh bout of laughter. "No wonder all the little kitties always surround you… You! Ha ha! CAT! Oooh I get it now… Stupid cat! The Prince knew didn't he?" Another soft sound was heard five minutes later and Uotani abruptly stopped laughing at the now naked fuming Kyo. It was as if time had stopped. They both found themselves frozen.

"What the fuck are you looking at!" Kyo snapped, his face was hot and he could feel more blood rushing to his face. He quickly grabbed his fallen clothing, exposing his backside to the blushing girl.

"Damn…" Uotani muttered under her breath, trying to keep breathing normally as she quickly turned away. She blushed and moaned at her own stupidity. She was being stupid because she didn't look away earlier. Not because of anything else.

"What?" he demanded irritably, turning around to face her once more. This time fully clothed.

"Nothing! I didn't say anything!"

*

Uotani frowned as she realised she had already arrived in her room. That was quick. She must've been too lost in thought to notice anything. That was bad, because she could have been hit by a car or something. She doubted it though, as her autopilot was pretty good.

She collapsed on her small and ragged sofa with a sigh. The sofa was old and it was starting to smell, but it was well broken in and comfortable. She leaned her head back and thought of her boyfriend again. Her smile returned with enforcement. He could be unpredictable and rough, but other time he could be so unknowingly sweet that she couldn't help but laugh at him. This of course made him growl at her.

She felt like a love sick puppy at times. Especially when he finally told her about the curse, but he never mentioned what his past was like. Uotani understood him enough not to push him further on the subject, and after all he wasn't the only one who hid their past in dank and forgotten closets.

As love sick as she was in private, she never showed it in public. They would never win the 'Cutest Couple' award, that had already been claimed by Yuki and Tohru. If anything they would still win the 'Most Unlikely Couple' award. People still had a hard time believing they were going out. This was probably because of the shouts of "You cheating Yankee!" that could be heard whenever they were playing cards or the "Get back here Kyon-Kyon! Are you or are you not a man!?" that would bring a red faced Kyo rushing back whenever he tried to leave.

That sentence was of course the cause of the whole thing. The only reason they were going out in the first place.

*

"Awee… Poor Kitty." cooed Uo, scratching the place where Kyo's ears would have been, were he in cat form. They were still in class because, well she wasn't quite sure why. He had asked her to help him look for something important he left in class. When asked why he didn't ask Tohru, he gave a shrug and cocked his head towards the Prince. Hanajima was sick today, so that left her. He had reasoned that the class was big and that he would find it sooner if she helped.

"Shut up." he muttered as he pushed her inside.

"Well? What am I supposed to be looking for? What did you forget?"

Kyo paced the whole class, occasionally looking under a desk. It didn't look like he was looking for anything. In fact, it looked suspiciously like he was just looking under things when he remembered why he was in the classroom. His whole demeanour was strange.

"Yo. Cat." Kyo didn't even blink at her. "Kyon-Kyon?… Carrots?"

Kyo had stopped pacing and was now standing in front of Uotani, his eyes were unfocused and he was looking unnaturally red.

"Kyon-Kyon, are you sick? You're very red." Uotani asked, Kyo was in fact not looking very well. She brushed her hands on his temple.

"Stop that." Kyo said, he took her hand off his face, but didn't let go, he was gripping it in one of his hands.

"You don't feel hot… Hey, ow!" she exclaimed, yanking her hand back to herself. Kyo's eyes focused on her and looked slightly panicked.

"Oh shit. I'm really sorry. I…"Kyo didn't get to finish the rest of his apology as Uotani had clamped his mouth shut.

"Okay. Now I know your sick. I've never heard you apologize before." She released his mouth quickly, the feel of his lips on her palm was enough to short circuit a few things in her brains. "Seriously… what's wrong?" she continued.

"Uh… Listen Yank… uh, I meant Arisa… Uo…" he gave an exasperated sigh. "Ugh! Whatever. I actually wanted to talk to you." Kyo's heart was beginning to beat madly. He didn't know that her heart was beating just as erratically as his.

"So spill." She put her arms across her front unconsciously in a defensive position. She was beginning to feel uncomfortable. What was Kyo trying to say? Was he about to do what she thought he would do?

"Never mind" Kyo said, turning around quickly, heading towards the door. What was he thinking? He could tell by her stance, she wasn't exactly pleased about the situation. He was half correct of course, but he didn't see her eyes, looking at him with anticipation written all over them.

"Oh no you don't." Uo muttered under her breath. She breathed in a lot of air and said in a loud voice, "Get back here Kyon-Kyon! Are you or are you not a man!?" The effect she wanted kicked in immediately. Kyo strode back in the room. But she wasn't expecting another kiss.

"Fuck." Kyo said as he released her, he ran a hand over his hair, "I was supposed to do that after I told you that I liked you." He chided himself. Uotani blinked at him a few times, surprised and delighted she forgot about his curse, She threw an arm around his neck.

"You stupid cat. You could have just said it earlier, why'd you get so nervous anyway?"

"What do you think?" the cat… Kyo sighed, feeling a bit tired from the whole experience. He wasn't about to ask anyone out again in a long time.

"Idiot." The cat in her arms bristled at her comment. "So what does this mean?" she ignored his low hiss.

"That you're my girlfriend of course."

"You asked me that when?" she raise and eyebrow.

"Lets pretend I did. I don't want to go through that again." He sighed at her suddenly bright smile and relaxed in her hold, smelling her hair.

"Then lets pretend I said yes."

"Good. Now this time, remember to look away when I turn back." They both blushed at the memory.

*

Uotani yawned, it had been a long day and she was beginning to feel tired. Drowsily, she threw her feet up on the armrest of the sofa and closed her eyes.

Hey people! This was going to be a one shot but is actually nagging me to turn into a chaptered fic, and who am I to argue with plot pigs who might refuse to work again if I refuse? So I hope you enjoyed this bit! Sorry if the end is a bit abrupt. Please bear with me... I also don't know whether to choose the happy ending or the somewhat angsty one. Tell me what you'd prefer in your reviews… *hint, hint* he he! See ya! Oh and feel free to point out errors you noticed!
