AN: and here it is, the sequel to can a cat and a rat ever really have a future? This takes place before the epilogue in said fic. And eventually will move to after the epilogue (I think). And for once I have no idea where I'm going with this thing or how long it will be. I do have several ideas, but I hope I will think of something else (yes, they're very sad…) Please leave a review I love them! If you review you get... cyber pocky (sounds good?). I'll stop babbling and continue with this fic. Warning: OOC on Kyo's part. (and possibly also with the others) but it has a reason (other than me liking it).

Can a cat and a rat ever find peace?

Chapter 1. the call that will change lives.

It had been two years ago that Yuki and Kyo had gotten married. The two were now sitting at their kitchen table which was covered with official looking documents.

"There are too many of them. I think they are reproducing! Yuki save me from the evil papers!" Kyo jumped up and ran around in panic.

"Kyo, the papers aren't reproducing and they won't attack you. You just had too much sugar." Under his breath he muttered "again". Yuki once again set to the task of going through the massive amount of papers.

"Yuki, they are scary." Kyo hid behind Yuki's chair finding cover from the papers. "They can give you paper cuts."

Yuki still couldn't believe how much Kyo had changed over the last few years. Ever since Akito had died the cat was much happier and he would joke around a lot. Especially if he had had too much sugar. "Kyo, these papers aren't alive and they won't attack you or me. Now stop making excuses and help me get through these."

"Do we have to?" Kyo sat down again, but not on his chair but on Yuki's lap.

"We have to if we want to adopt." Yuki laid his head on Kyo's shoulder and sank away in thought. He still couldn't believe they were actually doing this. He had always thought Kyo wouldn't want to adopt, but it had been his husband to suggest it first. And now they had all the papers on the table.

"But can't the papers fill themselves in?" Kyo looked hopeful at Yuki.

"No, they aren't magical paper, Kyo. Now fill them in." Yuki pushed the pen in Kyo's hand and forced him to write down his information.

"I'm done Yuki." Kyo immediately left the table and went as far away from it as possible, which wasn't very far because they had a very small apartment which was now almost fully packed with boxes. In a few days the couple would move to a bigger place on Sohma ground.

At first the two wanted to be as far away from their family a was humanly possible, but now they actually missed them. And since Akito was gone they were safe there to be together. Their house was next to Haru's house, which was also Tohru's house since a few months. Haru had finally gotten the courage to propose to Tohru and they were married.



Yuki looked over the papers to see if there were any blanks. "Kyo, you forgot one thing." He pointed to it as Kyo came closer to the pile of papers very carefully.

"Willing to adopt twins?" Kyo read out loud. "What do you think?" he turned to his beloved husband.

"I don't know. I guess I don't mind." Yuki was still thinking it over when Kyo happily checked the yes box.

The next day Yuki dropped of the papers on his way to work. Now they had to wait.

It was Friday and it was the last day the two would spend in their apartment. The movers had just arrived and they were packing the boxes into the truck. Kyo and Yuki gave their apartment one last look before leaving it. It had been the first place they had truly been together, and now they were leaving it. But the future looked bright. They were moving in a bigger place and they were going to adopt. Life couldn't be better.

Haru and Hatori both helped Kyo and Yuki with moving into their new house. Shigure and Ayame stopped by occasionally, but managed to excuse themselves rather quickly. They were painting the living room when Hatori's wife came over with their son, Tsuki.

"You've been working for hours straight, you need to eat. I brought sandwiches!" Sora sat down on the plastic covered couch with her one year old son.

The four men lunged for the sandwiches and almost fought over them. Sora's sandwiches were quite famous among the Sohma family.

Kyo sat down next to Sora and began playing with the little boy. "He's so cute." The little boy had caught his hand and wasn't ready to let it go anytime soon. Kyo laughed at the sight.

Yuki looked at his husband and was once again amazed by how much he had changed over the past few years. He never could've imagined Kyo playing childish games with a baby, but he was proven wrong.

A week later the house was completely done and the windows were open all the time to get rid of the last bit of paint smell. Kyo and Yuki were sitting on the wooden bench they had in front of their house when the phone rang.

"I'll get it." Yuki stood up and went inside. About five minutes later he ran outside again with a huge smile on his face. "The was the adoption agency, we're getting twins!"

AN: It's shorter than I planned, but I really wanted to stop at this point. I'm sorry if anyone is bothered by how much Kyo changed, but I love it. And I love his reaction to the paper (I'm a bit high on sugar now, so I blame it on the sugar!), I couldn't help myself.
