Chapter 1: Waking From A Nightmare

Kyo ran, from what, he did not know. The trees that he ran by had a darkness to them that normally wouldn't be there. Kyo's long ears twitched as he stopped to look around. A voice comes to his ears from a distance. A voice that he recognized, then suddenly he remembers why he was running. She couldn't see him like this, not how he was now.

Master took the black and white beaded bracelet off, with that all traces of humanity left him. Becoming a monster that even his mother couldn't handle for he was the one to cause her death. The memory tormented him in his deepest of dreams. By taking the bracelet off he wasn't just the cat he tuned into when coming in contact with the opposite sex, he was a monster. So, here is were he is now. Standing in the middle of the forest trying to run from the only person that might understand. Kyo wasn't willing to take the chance of loosing a friend because of the monster inside of him. The clothes that he had had on before the transformation were now ripped to shreds, his pants the only thing that remained.

"Kyo!" Her voice, it was getting closer. He had to run, run away from her. He came into a clearing and stopped in the middle. He looked from side to side for a way he should go. Too late.

"Kyo? What are you . . .?" She stopped in her tracks as the large black eyes of the creature he had become stared strait into her eyes. His eyes were pleading, asking her to turn and leave. Her fear was evident but she never turned to leave, but instead took a step forward. As she came closer he unconsciously growled at her, warning her to stay away. She didn't listen, she didn't hear him. He straitened to his full height of ten feet. She was so close now, too close. He backed away from her but she suddenly grabbed the arm that was two sizes to big. She cried in fear but she wrapped her arms around him all the same. The creatures instincts kicked in, he growled at her as he brought up one of his clawed hands, if you could call them hands. He tried to hold off, he tried to stop it. The creature inside was too strong, he couldn't give up though. Kyo's strength wore and the claws that he had tried so hard to keep in control fell onto the girl in front of him. They ran down her back, the blood that came was immense. She looked up into his eyes with fear and regret. The horror that tore through her was all she could take. He slowly realized what he had done, he had lost control again. First his mother then the person that never held anything against him, the only person that accepted him for who he was. She slid down his chest until she laid there in the rain, the muddy water soaking into her skin. Right then was when he changed back to his human form. He fell to his knees and slowly lifted her body. He held her to him, causing him to transform into the orange cat that she had loved to hold. As the rain fell, it hid his silent tears.

"I'm sorry, so sorry. Forgive me, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry" Kyo suddenly sat up in his bed. Sweat running down his body. He looked around to see that he was still in his room at the Sama house.

"Tohru?" He put a hand to his head as he swung his legs over the side of the bed. Quickly, he got up and ran to Tohru's door. Pausing he listened before slowly turning the doorknob. As the door opened it made a creaking sound, then a silent thud as the door hit the wall behind it.

"Mm . . . Who's there?" Came a sleepy response. Tohru sat up in the bed and looked to the shadow that stood in the doorway.

"Kyo? Is that you?" She said as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Kyo turned to leave then felt a hand grip his shoulder. He paused and turned slightly as the hand left his shoulder.

"Kyo, is something wrong." His orange eyes seemed to glow in the shadows of the night. Looking over his shoulder, he glanced at her through his bangs.

"Tohru."

"Hum . . .?"

"Go to sleep."

"Kyo, why were . . ."

"It was nothing, I just thought I heard something, that's all." With that he left, shutting the door behind him. After the door shut Thoru quietly went back to lay down. Laying her head down on the pillow she curled in on herself.

"Kyo, why won't you tell me what's going on." Pulling the covers up to her chin she wrapped her arms around her legs to keep them close to her chest.

He's been having this same dream for a week, how many times is he going to make up a reason to be in my room. I know that he wakes up scared but . . . Why does he always wake after he says 'I'm sorry'? Why does he always come to my room as if scared that he had lost me. I lie awake listening to him toss and turn in bed, then pretend to be sleeping when he comes into the room.

"Hmm . . . Kyo, what are you keeping from me?" She closed her eyes, sleep finally taking her.

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter because I enjoyed making it. Feel free to Flame but be warned, I will not take it lightly. Depending on how harsh you are, I will decide whether you deserve an answer.

Kyo: Why do i have to be the one with the nightmares? Just because i'm the cat does NOT mean that i deserve this.

Me: I know . . .I know . . . but its soooo much fun.

Me: Aww . . . I'm sorry. I promise, it gets better.

Kyo: Yea sure. 'walked out the door with arms crossed'
