Hey there peeps, I'm editing my stories. Correcting grammar and such, sorry I've been gone for a while. College got hectic and my computer hard-drive died so I had to send it in to get repaired. Thus having nothing backed up and nothing on the hard-drive being salvageable, I must start from scratch. Sucks I know, here we go ;P By the way I'm a BETA reader now so CHECK ME OUT SUCKAS

I do not own Fruits basket, 'cause if I did; Kyo would be shirtless all the time, and Kagura and Tohru wouldn't exist, He's Mine!

Kyo: What The Hell Do You Mean Shirtless?

Me: Exactly as it sounds, you. Shirtless. All the time.

Kyo:...there's something wrong with you...I mean really...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the ceiling where the upstairs rooms were, I ran up and into Kyo's room to find him pressing himself against the wall mouth open and little squealing sounds coming out of his mouth His face curled into a look of terror.

I looked to the object of his distress, there in the middle of his pile of clothes on his bed, snuggled in-between shirts, pants and occasional black boxers. Was my red bra with small white polka-dots.

"Oh" I said casually trying not to snicker or feel completely embarrassed "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING DOING WITH MY CLOTHES!" Kyo was yelling so loud that I had to press my hands to my ears to try and muffle his voice. I waited till he quieted down to walk over to the laundry and pick up the bra.

"What's the big deal? It's Just a bra"

"JUST!" Kyo was glaring at me still not moving from his corner, I could tell it would be a dark day in the Sohma house when he discovers my tampons under the sink, I nearly shuddered at the thought. I turned around and left the room.

Shigure, Yuki, and Tohru came up the stairs "Do I dare ask what the shouting was about?" Shigure asked, I held up my bra for them to see. Instantly Yuki and Shigure paled dramatically "Oh how Cute!" Tohru clasped her hands together admiring my bra. "Thanks" I laughed and went to my room stuffing my bra in the bottom of my dresser drawer where it would cause fewer problems for me that day.

Hey, my name is Katya Degre. Mostly everyone calls me Kitty, that's because I don't know my birthday or my zodiac sign so I would always say I was born in the year of the cat. I do know that I'll be 16 this year though. My parents set me up for adoption when I was born; I was adopted by the Rogers. I hated them, the man would beat me and the woman was a drug addict. Last year they took me to Japan for vacation 'So they told me', anyways, while the woman was out to get more drugs 'more than likely' the Man rapped me. I hit him with a blunt object and got the hell out of dodge. This is my story of three months after I escaped that hell hole.

!THREE MONTHS AFTER I ESCAPED "THAT HELL HOLE"!

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock; I groaned and shut it off. I looked out the dusty window and saw it was still dark outside, Five AM, I stood up and stretched. I stumbled to the bathroom taking in the same surroundings I've had for the past three months, dusty wood floors that would bow and creak under my weight; 180 LBS -oh don't give me that! I'm not heavy in rolls like the Michelin man. In fact, I have ripped abs and the body of a woman, so take your insults and shove 'em right in the cookie jar. Now back to my description. The walls held no paint, wallpaper and hardly any drywall, most places it held only the wood frames. The wiring was almost finished I needed a new fuse -which I had saved up for- and then I could finally have some light in this building; I made it to the bathroom which had sickly colored yellow tiles on the floor. I didn't bother to look in the broken mirror I had hung on the wall, it was too dark to see how much of a mess I was. I yanked the brush through my short blonde tangles; my hair stopped at my neck and was parted to the left side. I was cute in an I-will-rip-your-arm-off-and-beat-you-an-inch-from-your-life-with-it-if-you-grab-my-ass-again sort of way.

I put on my uniform for school and headed down stairs, in my makeshift kitchen which was simply a cardboard box that held three cans of spaghettiOs and a cooler with a quart sized milk box, it would have to hold me till lunch. I finished my milk and tossed it into my bag of garbage, and headed out the door for my two and a quarter mile walk to school. Not all that bad, gives me time to wake up and I enjoy the quiet; it allows me to think about all sorts of things. But sometimes, like today, there's noting I like more than a good jog.

My abandon house was a little ways in the woods, just out of sight of the street. I jogged out into the open and jogged most of the way to school, where I could take a shower and put on my make-up. I was panting by the time I made it to the school, running in I made my way towards the showers. Hardly anyone was here this early, the girls locker room was locked, so I took out a bobby pin from my pocket and put it into the lock. Having done this quite a few times I had little to no problem with opening the door.

I took a fast shower and took my time putting on my make-up. I fingered my necklace; it was a silver and gold colored metal Ying-Yang pendent; one of the sides being gold with a silver dot and the other side silver with a gold dot. It hung from a black cord that tied in the back, just long enough to caress my neck like a collar. Being my only keepsake I valued it, maybe I'll tell you about how I acquired it someday.

I rushed out of the bathroom and straight to class, almost running right into the air-headed Yuki fan-girls "Watch where you're going stupid!" A girl with hair that looked like a sixties version of Jersey shore style snapped at me, yeah, real pleasant aren't they? I mumbled an apology and continued my way to class.

I made it into the class room people were just starting to show up, I grabbed a desk close to a window and waited for roll call. Sure enough after three minutes of the A-C kids "Cat Degre?"

"Present!" I shouted making sure my teacher knew I was sitting at the back. He nodded and checked me off on his board, I slouched in my chair. What can I say? 'Lady' doesn't exactly fit my personality until it's truly necessary.

~INTERJECTION~ Okay so the truth is that my real last name is Rogers, but I didn't want them to find me so I changed my last name. I paid a Young couple to play the roles of my 'Loving Parents' so I could sign up for school; Thank God they weren't too bright going through the sign up was Hell! I didn't want to be seen as an Emo person, so~ I threw myself into the open jaws of socialism, and became the class clown. Also I choreograph dance moves for the cheerleaders in school for a small payment. ~INTERJECTION OVER~

Yuki Sohma, the Prince as everyone knew him, got called during roll. You wouldn't believe how many sighs filled the room, I'm not exaggerating, our teacher even gets a catch in his breath when Sohma walks by. Yuki raised his hand and then went back to whatever he was doing. Most people would think Sohma was stuck up because of all his fan girls (and guys' o.O). But I don't think that's the case, to me he seems shy and reserved like any person who dislikes their fan club.

I almost fell asleep in class waiting for it to finish, I opened my folder and began to doodle animals and what not. I already knew this course; I had taken it back in America.

"Miss Degre?" I looked up surprised to see the room empty save for me and the teacher "Uh Yes?" I asked putting my books into my bag. "Class is over you can go to your next class now" I stood up "Oh Right Ha Ha Ha" I almost ran to the door.

"Is everything alright at home Miss Degre? You seemed very distracted in class today" The teacher asked stacking his papers into a neat pile I rubbed the back of my neck "Yeah Everything's Fine, I'm just tired is all Ha Ha" I left before he could ask any more questions. Let's jump ahead to where I'm out of school, I mean it's not like anything humorous or interesting truly happened that day.

I ran to the hardware store, so I could buy my fuse. Bill the manager looked up when I entered "Oh hey there Kitty, Did you look at the type and brand of fuse this time?" Bill laughed, I smiled I liked Bill he was probably the only person I trusted, and for good reason. I pulled out a slip of paper and handed it to Bill so he could see what I needed. Yesterday when I came in here for a fuse I forgot to look at what type of fuse I needed, Talk about not thinking it through.

Few minutes later I was walking 'Home' with my fuse and my bag. I could smell it, the rain; it was going to rain soon, which would only bring back dark memories. So I hurried to the place I currently called home.

I had changed into denim cut offs and a black shirt with a tan colored vest, I was sitting in an awkward position trying to get the damned wiring done. I was almost finished ZZzzTTTTttt I yelped and jumped back from the sparks that flew, one of them catching the skin next to my thumb "Dammit All!" I cursed and kicked at the wall frame hissing in pain.

Few seconds later the light above me flickered on, hmm that kick must have had the magic touch. I picked up my tools and put them away, finally I would be able to see in the dark! Oh yeah, who da bomb? I da bomb!

I shook my hand, it still hurt from the spark there was a black burn mark where it got me. I sighed and pulled out an Ice pack from my cooler and put it on my hand "Ow ow ow" I held it on my hand as I looked through my three cans; let's see Spaghetti-Os Spaghetti-Os or Oh Yes! Spaghetti-Os! I grabbed a can tossing my ice pack back into the cooler and shut the lid tightly.

I used my can opener and opened the top so I could get the goods but the lid was still attached, I reached for my contraption which was a thick wire stool that held the can over a candle and cooked the cans contents, I lit the candle with a match put the can on the stool like thing and waited.

It wasn't exactly 'The life' but it was good enough for me.

Four days later I was walking 'Home' when I decided to take a different route. Somehow I got that idea when I read 'Take the path less traveled' in my English book. I decided right then I didn't want to take the Road less traveled, cause if everyone is taking that road it's not really going to be 'Less traveled' now will it? So I'll create my own path. Oh god I'm a philosopher now, someone kill me.

As I made it to a clearing I saw a bunch of rocks painted as animals on a stand to dry outside a house, I walked up to inspect them "Cute aren't they?" I jumped clean out of my skin hearing a voice; I looked up and saw a guy in a tan robe with messy black hair.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't startle you did I?" Me? Startled? Naaahhhh. "Nope, sorry I didn't mean to come up without permission I was just admiring your artwork" "Oh it's not that good" I grinned I could tell he was fishing for compliments "Oh yes they are"

"Well if you insist" He laughed, Yuki stepped out of the house and slapped the man upside the head, yes Yuki, the most popular guy in school. How odd that he's all the way out here.

"Hey Yuki" I called with a small wave; Yuki was glaring at the older man. He turned to me and smiled "I apologize for my cousin, Hello miss Degre" "Kitty" I interrupted him "I beg your pardon?" "Kitty, I prefer to be called Kitty"

"Oh forgive me...Kitty" I giggled "It's all good Yuki" the older man jumped into the conversation "My name is Shigure, I'm Yuki's older cousin" I held out my hand "It's nice to meet you Shigure" Shigure took my hand in his "Pleasures all mine" I swear he could grin like a Cheshire cat.

Yuki slapped him again "Will you behave!" "Whaaa Yuki you're so violent!" I laughed. "Kitty, can I ask what you're doing all the way out here?" I nodded at Yuki's question "I'm on my way home" Shigure lifted his eyebrows "Oh you live close by?" Oh crow! I slipped! "Uh Sort of" I could have kicked myself.

"Where at?" Yuki asked I started to back away to the road "Uh just close I guess, I got to go home now. Bye Yuki It was nice to meet you Shigure" I waved and began walking quickly towards the trail that lead to my 'Home' Damn that was close.

Back 'Home' I fell asleep doing my homework, jolting awake when I heard a knock at the door. I snatched up my wooden stick and ran down stairs, I peeked out the door. And to my surprise I saw Shigure and Yuki standing there with a girl who I went to school with Tohru-what's her last name- Honda I think. I opened the door wider.

"Uh can I help you?" this was Not good. "What on earth? I knew there was a building on our property but I didn't know anyone was living in it?" Shigure was thinking out loud, that, or he has open mouth issues.

"I uh! I can explain! Well actually I can't but I-" I stumbled to find the right words; I didn't know that the building was on their property, Dammit All.

"It's alright! Here why don't we go to my house so we can figure this all out?" Shigure said, I was blushing brightly as I nodded. I turned off the lights and went with them.

Apparently Tohru was sleeping in a tent and was living in the woods for about a week now; waiting for the renovations on her grandfather's house to be finished so she could move back. I was a totally different story, Adopted, rapped, run away. How the hell am I supposed to explain That!

"Your turn Kitty" they all looked at me I couldn't meet their eyes "I- Well I-" I sighed Might as well give in a bit.

"I ran away from my...my folks" I tensed at the word 'folks' coming out of my mouth, I wasn't sure those two were even Human!

"How come?" Yuki asked "It was a bad environment, that's All I'm going to say on that" I looked away drawing my knees up to my chest I shuddered at the memories.

"Must have been pretty bad if it caused to you run away and stay away, how long have you been in that building?" "Three days" I said under my breath. "Three days huh" Shigure said gently I pulled my knees even closer. "You know girls; it's not safe to stay out in the woods. You have wild animals, landslides, and the occasional creep"

"You hear that?" Shigure asked Yuki, Yuki nodded "Another Land slide" Shigure stated. "was it close?" Yuki asked "close to the tent- I Mean Not At All!" Shigure sang. Minutes later we were standing in-front of a tent that was buried under dirt, Tohru began to panic and scream for her mom.

I felt sorrow for her, I held her shoulders and pulled her into me "It's alright, She'll be okay. I promise" It was stupid for me to promise that, But I couldn't just say nothing.

"I think your mom is glad that it wasn't You in there when the rocks slid" Shigure said to Tohru, she began to cry into my shoulder. I held her closer resting my cheek on her head.

I felt the ground beneath me shake, and heard a loud crashing sound. I let go of Tohru and ran off towards the sound. Please don't be the building I housed, please don't be the building that I nearly burnt my thumb off to put wiring in.

How typical, the house had completely crashed; it could now relate to a bunch of cards that was playing 52 Pickup.

"You have GOT to be Kidding Me!" I stomped over to the pile to find my belongings. The group of three made it to where I was.

"I just fixed the Wiring Too! Damnit All!" "Well what a coincidence" Shigure stated I turned around and glared; Yuki glared as well and slapped him upside the head. Grumbling I dug through till I found my bag of clothes, My tool box, my book bag and my alarm clock-which was close to trashed, but knowing that device it survived- I located a single can of SpaghettiOs.

I stuffed my items into my clothes bag, which was a large black duffle bag. I sighed and began walking past the three.

"Where do you think you're going?" Yuki asked grabbing my forearm to stop me, I looked at him "I'm sorry to have caused you all trouble" Shigure put a hand on my shoulder "Come on your both going to have to stay over tonight.

Two men and two girls sleeping in the same house, you're joking right? And after the hell I've suffered through? But what choice did I have? I sighed and followed them back, Tohru walked next to me, I felt sorry for her. Strange.

I gave Tohru my pajama bottoms and a shirt to sleep in, I had to struggle and demand to get her to wear it. I tugged on a pair of jeans and a black shirt to sleep in, I left my bra on.

~INTERJECTION~ I took my clothes to the laundry place to be cleaned by quarters once a week Just so you know!~INTERJECTION OVER~

I woke up to the sun in my face surrounded by clean white walls, and the occasional picture on the walls, wait where the hell am I? I remembered all of a sudden not liking the fact that I had to borrow someone's house to sleep in.

"Good morning Kitty, Did you sleep well?" I damn near leapt out of my skin in surprise. Yuki peeked his head into the room where I was sleeping Tohru was a few feet away from me and still asleep her bags and picture of her mom sitting beside her, they must have gone back for them last night. I stood up feeling comfortable in my clothes I stretched and ran my hand through my hair, play it cool ya know? "Morning Yuki, I slept well thanks for asking" Yuki smiled "Are you hungry? We have breakfast ready" my stomach growled loudly I covered it with my hands feeling embarrassed, so much for 'cool'.

Yuki laughed "Well I guess that answers that" I grinned and followed Yuki to the dining room, smelling breakfast I let Yuki show me to my seat.

Tohru came out a few minutes later and sat down next to me "Morning Kitty" Tohru said cheerily, I smiled "Morning Tohru" I looked over at Yuki "I'm sorry" Shigure came in with food and sat down "I'm really sorry to have caused you both so much trouble, staying on your property without seeing if it was ok. And for having you go through the trouble of taking me in last night" Yuki and Shigure stopped eating and stared.

"I'm sorry too, I had no right" Tohru said after me. "Both of you are really sweet but you have nothing to apologize for" Shigure said. I still felt guilty.

A half hour later Tohru and I were sitting outside watching clouds and trying to decide what to do.

"You're going to have to stay somewhere; I know the idea of staying with two strange men sounds odd. But you'll be promised food and a shelter" Yuki said to us, I looked at him. "Really I couldn't!" Tohru said in frenzy, I looked down.

"Were not That odd" Yuki said in surprise "Of course it won't be free" I looked up wide eyed at Shigure, I don't think he meant it the way it sounded but I jumped up and ran ten feet from them, my knees shaking. I couldn't help it; my legs simply ran is all.

"What I meant was Housecleaning" Shigure looked at me strangely, I swallowed and walked back "I uh, I thought I saw a spider, silly me hehehehe!" I said rubbing the back of my neck. "O…k?" Shigure said with an uncertain expression.

"We only want you to be yourselves; you don't need to pay us back for anything. We want to do this" Yuki said next to me "No No No I won't stay free of charge, I can do the house work as rent" Tohru said, I nodded at her "And I can help if that's alright, and I'm not afraid of dirt. So if there's any yard work I'm the right girl for the job" I said cheerfully. Why do I have that nagging feeling like I'm being watched by something predatorily? I looked out to the woods and did the one thing people fail to do in horror movies, I looked UP. And when I looked up, I saw the HOTTEST guy I've ever seen standing in a tree. Not kidding he's like the essence of fire put into a sex god's body. Orange hair, eyes like crimson, black shirt that showed off his lower ripped abs, which looked even hotter due to the lack of a happy trail leading to his baggy cargo pants, which had a long belt like device of sorts hanging off the belt loops. Uh hello, what is your name, age and number? I'm your new stalker. I felt a cold shiver work its way up my spine making me shudder, must look away before people notice I'm drooling. I tore my unwilling-to-leave-the-great-view eyes and turned to Yuki, Shigure, and Tohru. The trio was oblivious to my euphoric moment

Shigure and Yuki nodded at us "Come on, we have a room upstairs. If you don't mind sharing" "Not at all, is that alright with you Tohru?" I asked her as she followed me up "It's perfect" she giggled.

Shigure stayed downstairs and Yuki showed us the room. "It has a nice view of the woods, and it looks beautiful in the morning. You might want to leave the window open for a while though it's a bit stuffy up here" Yuki said walking across the room and opened the window" "Question" I piped up "who's the guy that was standing in the tree?" Yuki looked out the window "Huh?"

CRASH! I yelped and tried to control my body which was in flight mode. The roof busted through and the smexy teen who was out in the tree was now in the middle of the room "Yo Its time to pay the piper rat boy" He rolled his shoulder and I nearly got a nose bleed from the fantastic view of his ass. Tohru jumped to the back of the room squealing. I gained my senses back long enough to peek around the boy and spoke to Yuki.

"Uh Him" I pointed at the orange headed boy, had to admit he looked hotter up close, now that I could see his muscle definition that showed through his tight shirt. Granted I could only see the chasm of his spine nestled nicely between two tight and strong back straps, and my lord those shoulder blades, so sharp and defined.

(A/N: Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds a guy's back attractive. Ladies? Don't get me wrong I love the front of a guy's torso just as much, but it's how strong a guy's back looks that just drives me crazy- this is getting awkward /./)

"I thought they would have sent someone bigger" the smirk that Yuki gave the boy was cocky confident and taunting. "We have unfinished business!" the orange head said "Yu~ki what was that crashing sound I just heard, Kyos not here is he?" Shigure peaked around the door frame a nervous look on his face.

Tohru ran forward to stop them from fighting, I moved to stop her but instead, me her and the hot guy Kyo fell into a heap. After a popping sound strange orange smoke and dissorentation, I stood up shaking my head. I saw clothes and an orange cat sitting beside Tohru, The cat looked completely pissed off. I picked him up "Holy Crow! Did He Just Turn Into A Cat?" I held the cat out and stared.

Yuki looked sick "Uh-oh" Tohru stood up and we panicked "We need to get him help We Need To Take Him To A Doctor!" Tohru shouted "I doubt that a Doctor can help with this Tohru" I tried to keep calm, But my legs were shaking.

"Ok maybe were just wrong, maybe he just left while we were in a tangled mess?" Tohru suggested, I looked at the cat and the clothes "You're trying to tell me that he left his cat in the process of stripping Stark naked in less than four seconds, and is now running around here nude?" I looked unamused but somehow I don't think I'd mind if that were the situation, I swear I saw the cat roll his eyes. Tohru looked stressed and fell onto Yuki and Shigure "Oh snap" I said, I saw Shigure and Yuki transform in a small explosion into animals, Shigure a black dog and Yuki a white rat.

Dog I can handle Cat I can handle Boys that transform into animals I can handle. A boy that transforms into a rat? Not so much, by now I was running down stairs cat still in my arms, screaming the whole way Tohru was right behind me. The cat's ears were pressed down, trying to brace against my screaming. I saw the mail man come up "Here's your mail!" I stopped screaming my eyes wide.

"Their Animals!" I yelled, absentmindedly cradling the cat in my arms. "Uh Yeah?" the mail carrier said unsure. I saw the dog come down with the rat on his head I winced away from the rat little squealing sounds escaping my mouth.

The dog took the mail out of the mail man's hands "Wow quite the talented pets, have a good day!" and he left. A good day? What kind of day is good when three men turn into animals? I looked down at the cat in my arms who was hissing at me, I glared at him "I swear if you scratch me, I'm giving you a bath in the toilet" The cat quieted down but his tail twitched furiously.

"Damnit! I would've worked up an excuse, but oh no you two idiots had to transform too Didn't you!" The cat in my arms spoke in a rather hostile tone; I screamed and threw the cat. He landed on his feet and ran a ways away from me. "We wouldn't have transformed in the first place if you hadn't shown up you stupid cat!" The rat said, which in turn only threw fuel on the hot tempered cat "WHAT'D YOU CALL ME?" the rat replied with "Stupid. Cat" The hair on the back of the crabby cat rose even higher than it already was. "Enough the both of you!" The dog barked out before turning to Tohru and I "Girls we haven't been completely honest with you, I'm a dog, Yukis a rat. And Kyo there well he's a cat" Shigure the dog said, Tohru was making nervous sounds. I backed into a wall and slid down to the floor trying to make sense of everything. "We transform whenever were hugged by the opposite sex or our bodies are under a great deal of stress" I held my head, I had a headache. "Oh and when we transform back...were naked" almost instantly all three turned into humans, stark naked humans. I screamed even louder than I had when Kyo spoke as a cat. I guess if I wasn't so naturally shy I might have stayed to enjoy the view, but I was already putting tomatoes to shame with my blush and with a history like mine, I wasn't exactly "ready" to see a nude man. I ran out of the room dragging Tohru behind me, I run up the stairs and into the bedroom.

When I reached mine and Tohru's room I was breathing heavily "I think. We got. More than. We asked. For" I said between breaths. There was a knock on our door "Um my clothes are in there" Kyo said through the door, I blushed madly as I realized the situation. I picked up the clothes and with my eyes shut tightly I threw them into Kyo's face, shutting the door behind me. Sex god bod or not, thinking about a guy nude and seeing it are two completely different things.

After a short time, I crept downstairs to start dinner, cooking would be good for me, it helps me to relax. I looked around the dining room while I walked into the kitchen, and damn near ran head on into Kyo who was looking quite irritable glaring down at me with those piercing eyes of his. I gulped, I'm pretty sure my legs would have buckled if they weren't shaking so hard from being under such an intense gaze. I laughed nervously and hugged the wall creeping around Kyo's still body, his eyes followed me. I cleared my throat once I was the length of the rom away from him "Would you like anything in particular for dinner?" I asked. "Anything but leeks" he growled and left the kitchen. Oh yes the essence of fire; a burning threatening scary intimidating hostile sweltering element that one must respect in order to get close to. That description fit Kyo the cat Perfectly. O.o

Dinner was awkward; apparently Kyo was coming to live here too. I could hardly make eye contact, only a few hours ago I learned that these men were cursed to turn into animals. My stomach felt tight and my head felt dizzy, I put a hand to my head and closed my eyes trying not to either throw up or faint.

"Are you alright?" Yuki asked sitting across from me was Yuki, Tohru sat beside me on the same side of the table as me, Kyo sat beside me as well but he was on the end of the table. Shigure was opposite of Kyo.

I nodded slightly and slowly removing my hand from my head I opened my eyes "I know this is a lot to take in right now, But I assure you it's nothing to panic about" Shigure said. I sighed "I know, It's just so-so strange" I shook my head slightly and picked up my spoon, I scooped the leek soup into my mouth.

"Tohru" Shigure said in a pleasant tone "Aren't you a fan of the cat in the zodiac?" Tohru looked as if she remembered something brilliant "Oh yeah! I am" Tohru said giddily "well" Shigure said "Whats it like seeing the real thing? The term 'cat like reflexes' doesn't exactly suit Kyo there the way he let you and Kitty fall on him like that" Watching Kyo I could see his muscles rippling in furry, like a tea kettle about to shout this guy was gonna lose his cool in five seconds or less. And sure enough, he stood up and glared at the dog. "Why are you blaming me? If you need someone to blame, blame them" He pointed at me though Tohru was included in his outrage "They shouldn't even BE here" If looked could kill I'd be dead five thousand times over, I fidgeted uncomfortably in my seat. The fiery torturous pits of hell would be like the Sandals resort compared to the mere death glare this guy was sending me. Hostile much?

I didn't catch what was said but someone set the hot-head off worse than he already was and he punched the table, breaking it in half I sear my heart vacillated in fear The two table halves went in separate directions, one towards me and the other towards Tohru. I felt the sharp pain of a broken table connecting with my shoulder the splintered edges gouging into my flesh. Like a dunce I wordlessly looked at my arm, stood up brushing off the burning pain of being shish-ka-bobbed, and walked over to Tohru whose forehead was bleeding. "Oh girls, your bleeding" Shigure pouted, he pulled out a medical kit and set to work bandaging us up. Yuki ran over to Kyo and slapped him hard across the face, leaving a brilliant red mark on his cheek, I gasped quietly. Kyo turned his head away from Yuki and rubbed at his cheek, he held the expression of guilt on his fine featured face.

"You stupid cat, you know what. I'm going to give you exactly what you want" Yuki said undoing the first button on his collar. "But I won't hold back" this snapped Kyo back into his violent temper and shouted out a bold "Alright!"

Kyo jumped up and attacked Yuki whose moves were quick and controlled; Yuki was able to stand up in the process and move closer to the door. Kyo punched and kicked high, not even hitting Yuki, Yuki hardly moved simply dodged and blocked Kyo's attacks.

"Um Is this normal?" I asked Shigure "Yeah they almost always fight whenever they see each other" He replied neutrally.

A few swings were sent and a couple of graceful kicks, and then Yuki kicked out sending Kyo flying through the door, and landing on the hard ground "Yuki please stop breaking my house" Shigure said Yuki sighed "I didn't mean to send him into the yard" I made an 'o' shape with my mouth in my shock, I'd hate to see when he 'Tries' to send someone into the yard. "Is he alright?" Tohru asked, Shigure laughed "The only thing hurt is his ego" I bit my lower lip.

Kyo stood up a disgruntled look on his face as he ran away from the house, Poor Kyo. I grabbed my tool bag and set to work fixing the door, taping the wood together. "Your quite talented with building aren't you?" Shigure said sitting down beside me to help. I smiled "I like the feeling of accomplishment that comes with the hard work"

After fixing the door I went into the kitchen to help Tohru with the dishes. I didn't say a lot when Tohru and I were talking, I smiled plenty though, I had learned on my own that when you act relaxed around people they act relaxed too.

It was twilight when I finished with the house work, I headed outside. I liked looking up at the stars; they always made me think of a lot of things. Like how far away they are yet they burn so bright I can still see them with my naked human eye. And when I think about that distance I think of how small I am in comparison. And when I think about how small I am, I think of how small my "big" problems truly are, It always makes me feel better.

I flopped down on the ground and put my arms under my neck, taking a deep breath of the night air. What a day!

I listened to the crickets chirping the occasional owl, and saw a bat or two flying around. I stood up after a few minutes of clearing my head, and stretched. Turning around I looked up and saw Kyo on the roof, he looked deep in thought, so that's where he'd run off to. I smiled slightly and went inside to wash up for bed.

Tohru was already in bed, I was clean and dressed for bed. Black boy-shorts, and a red tank-top with my bra underneath. Get your head out of the gutter I find it comfortable.

As I walked out of the bathroom I ran right into Kyo, tripping over him and we fell into a pile. Me on top of his chest, almost nose to nose, if I wasn't so shocked I would have had a heat flash like a menopausal woman. Kyo's hands were wrapped around my waist catching me when we fell. I began to blush brightly and struggled to stand up "Kyo! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to trip, are you alright?" I spoke quickly.

Kyo looked confused "The hell? I should have transformed" Kyo stood up and scratched the back of his head, he must have been too confused to be angry, which was safer for me. "K-Kyo? Are you alright?" Kyo glared at me "Of course I'm alright!" Almost, almost safe for me I bit my lip and winced

"No wait, I- I didn't mean it like that I-I'm just...I-" Kyo slapped his forehead, he either hit his head when we fell or Kyo has no social skills, I was going to go with the second one.

"Its alright Kyo, you don't have to apologize" Kyo looked at me with pure astonishment. I rubbed my upper arm "What did you mean when you said you should have transformed?" I asked. Kyo ran his hand through his hair.

"When were hugged by the opposite sex we transform, I don't get it! I caught you I should have transformed!" I shrugged "Maybe you just didn't catch me as much as you think you did" I hoped that made sense. Kyo growled/groaned as he pushed past me to get to the bathroom. Hmm guess that didn't make as much sense as I hoped it would.

I went to bed hoping for dreams that made more sense than this day has.

Me: what a wonderful feeling to complete (re-edit) a chapter

Kyo: I'm going to kill you!

Me: Nah! You love me too much!

Kyo: Yup as much as Frosty loves Hell

Me:...Hmmmm...A little inimical don't cha think?

Kyo: I'll show you Inimical *pushes sleeves up*

Me: !O.O! Be nice or I'll get Kagura, I have her on speed dial *pulls phone out as a threat*
