Crossing Over

Chapter 1

I sat on the floor in my room, dumbfounded. The one person I would never in my wildest dreams imagined could be here was sitting right in front of me. "Kyo?"

Flashback

I groggily opened my eyes. Something was tickling my face and it woke me up. Partially, at least. I saw an open mouth. The owner of the mouth was sleeping and their breath was what was tickling my face. I also noticed that the owner of the mouth had arms and legs. Their arms were wrapped around my waist, and one leg was thrown over mine. Hmm. Interesting. I allowed my eyes to travel father up the intruder's face. What I saw was a rather handsome face, leading up to a shock of orange hair. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep, snuggling closer to the warm person in my bed. Wait a second. Orange hair? Warm person? I shot up, and the person in my bed moaned in protest. From here I could tell the person was a guy. His arms tightened around waist, and he buried his face in my tummy. I spazzed, and we fell off the bed. That woke both of us up, and I rounded on him, pillow in hand. Then I recognized him. HOLY SH-cow. That was Kyo. Kyo Sohma. A freaking ANIME character! What was he doing in my bed! More importantly, what was he doing in this world! He blinked, staring at me. Then he started to freak out.

"Okay, here's the plan. My mom won't let you stay here as a guy, so you're gonna have to be a cat while you're inside. I can get my friend Raven to make some records for you, and she can probably get some clothes, too. I'll have to tell my friends who you are; they've all read the manga, so they know about the curse. They won't say a word. Raven can probably put you in the same classes as me, if you don't mind working a little harder. That should be about it," I said, finally taking a breath. Kyo nodded, still looking a bit out of it. Poor guy. "Uh, there's one more thing. You'll have to sleep in the same bed as me so you don't change during the night. Meanwhile, I'll get Raven on the phone and search the internet to see if I can find you a way home." Even if I don't want you to go back. The words hung unspoken in my mind. I scooted closer to him. "Kyo, i-if you ever decide you want to stay here, it would be okay with me. I know you're probably homesick, but even if you can't go back, we might be able to find the cure for the curse. Because the truth is, Kyo, I don't want you to go back. You don't know it, but you're the best friend I've ever had. If I ever felt sad or lonely, all I had to do was think of you and I would feel better. You don't know me at all, but I feel like I've known you forever. But I also want you to be happy. I'll fight as hard as I can to find you a way back. I mean it," I said, my face roughly the color of a cherry. I looked up, and saw Kyo staring at me. "I'm sorry! Did I offend you? Please forgive me if I did! Oh my god, I must sound absolutely insane!" I freaked out, sure that he hated me. He chuckled, a deep sound that seemed precious and rare. "You're hopeless," he said, smiling slightly. He put his hand on my head and I smiled. "Thanks, Kyo."

About an hour later, I was off the phone with Raven. Once I had told her what all the stuff I wanted was for, she had whole-heartedly cheered me on. Raven knew how much I loved Kyo, and she was such a great friend that she was willing to help. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do! And make him work for it, babe," she had said laughingly. If you're wondering how Raven managed to get all of this stuff for me, it's because she has Mob contacts. Yeah, I said it: Mob contacts. It's the family business. But anyway, Raven assured my that she would make it so that Kyo would go to school with me on Monday, share the same classes as me, and have him some decent clothes within two days. Raven is a miracle worker. (A/N: I love my real Raven buddy too!) I wondered absently where Kyo was. I got up, deciding to go find him. I walked out the door and saw him sitting in front of my cat, Spooky, staring intently into her eyes. "What are you doing, Kyo?" He jumped about a foot in the air. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SNEAK UP ON ME FOR!" he screamed, a teeny bit agitated. "I'm sorry, Kyo. I didn't mean to scare you. Now, will you please tell me what you're doing?" I asked, making a puppy dog face. (This works amazingly well on guys like Kyo.) "Feh. All right, I'll tell you. I was talking to her, trying to find out more about this place," he answered sullenly. And more about you, he thought. I turned to Spooky, silently asking her if what he said was true. (Oh, yeah. I can talk to animals. Did I forget to mention that?) She agreed, that, yes, it was true. Although, she added, he did ask quite a bit about you. I blushed and heard her chuckle. It's nothing to be ashamed of, Tyler. It just shows that the one you love loves you back. I told her that I doubted it, and she walked off, muttering something about the density of humans. I turned back to Kyo. "Are you hungry? I was thinking about making supper. What would you like to eat, Kyo?"

About two hours later, it was time for bed. I thanked whatever had made me have enough luck to keep Mom at the hospital with my grandfather. Kyo had been able to stay in human form all day, and would only have to turn into a cat for tonight. I hoped Mom would stay at the hospital for most of tomorrow, and then Kyo and I would only have to wait until Raven came around with his (false) records and clothes. I went to go take a shower, when I remembered that, if my mom came back, Kyo would have no way to hide until she went away again. Oh, crap. This wasn't gonna go over well with Kyo, but he would have to stay in the bathroom with me until I was done showering. Of course he'd have to take a shower, too. But I could just stand outside the door and wait for him to get out. "Um, Kyo? I need to talk to you," I said hesitantly, knowing he was NOT going to be happy about this. I explained it to him, and, after the initial "HELL NO," he calmed down enough to accept a blindfold. I grabbed his hand and led him to the bathroom. When I shut the door, I heard an audible gulp sound. When I started to take off my clothes, there was another gulp sound. I started the shower and waited for the hot water to come on. I turned on the radio, like I always do, and sang along with the songs. (I like punk rock; my chemical romance is one of my favorite bands.) I got out of the shower, keeping the radio on to distract Kyo while I dried off. I wrapped a towel around myself and took his blindfold off. "There," I said, "Now it's your turn." I turned away and showed him how to work the shower. When I turned around, he was blushing so hard, I was afraid his face might catch fire. He also had a strange look in his eyes. He stepped toward me and stared into my eyes. I was kinda struck dumb there, because, well…he is really hot. He then did something that was totally NOT Kyo. He kissed me. I'm not talking about one of those innocent, peck on the cheeks kisses. Oh no. I'm talking a heart-pounding, knee-knocking, spine-melting, his-tongue-in-my-mouth kisses. I almost swooned on the spot, it was so good. We stayed that way a good two minutes (or was it two years? That would have been fine with me!), and broke apart to take a breath. I looked up at him, and he blushed even redder (is that possible?) and turned away. "I'm sorry," he said, practically running out the door. I was still dizzy from the kiss, so it took me awhile to realize he was gone. Crap in a hat. I shoved on some clothes and headed outside.

Hi everybody! Thanks for reading my newest fic! I should probably have finished my other one first, but I'll get back to it. Sooner or later. In case you're wondering, this is based on a really weird (but totally frickin' A) dream I had. I got to be the main character because, well, I had the dream. Here's some stuff you may want to know about me:

my name is Tyler (NO, it's not a boy's name!)

I have a dog named Eightball (he comes in later in the story)

I have a cat named Spooky.

I have a mouse named Nezumi (corny, huh?) she won't come into the story 'cuz I'm scared Kyo will maul her for her resemblance to that damn Yuki (yeah, I hate him too)

I live in Louisiana, and I speak English, some Spanish, and a little Japanese.
