Hey! This is my very first story in english (what a challenge! Ha!) and I hope you won't kill me if I used any words in a wrong meaning... all my help was an online dicionary.... The idea to this story just popped into my mind as I was reading the second chapter of the manga again. And I listened to this song... do you know t.a.t.u.? No? Okay, never mind ^_^ Enjoy the story and review, please!

As Yuki came home, he went to his room and unpacked some books from the library. Disgusted he stared at the titles:

"the cat- beloved pet"

"the typical behavior of cats" and

"how do I understand my cat?"

Yuki hid the books quickly in a drawer. He didn't want to see them until he had to work with them. Damn psychology teacher.

He remembered his teacher's words earlier that day: "For we are going to study the behavior of men I want each of you to prepare a recitation about the behavior of an animal so that we can start to understand our behavior from the first beginnings. I will now give every one a little sheet of paper with an animal name on it, this will be your recitation's topic. Please do not tell anyone which animal you have to talk about..." Just his luck, really.

"Yuuuuuuuuukiiiiiiiiiiii? Are you theeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?" someone yelled from downstairs and made Yuki jump. He went to the door and shouted back: "Yee-es!" "Oh!" Toru came running up the stairs. "Shigure was wondering- and I was wondering too of course- where you were. Why did the library take you so long? Or did you go somewhere else?" "No, but I had to search for some books..." Yuki answered evading. It had taken him so long in the library because he just couldn't grab the books and leave. He had been standing in front of the shelf and was struggling with himself for some hours. He didn't know why. "And I almost thought I didn't listen to you properly as you told me you came home later.." Toru smiled. "Anyway, dinner is ready. Come on!" The girl jumped down the stairs, slowly followed by a smiling Yuki.

"Hmm, Toru, this food looks really good! I can't wait to eat it!" Shigure said with hungry eyes. "Just one second!" Toru said cheerful and placed another bowl on the table. Then she sat down on her end of the table. "Bon Appetit!" They filled their plates (Shigure as the first one) and started eating. "So, how was your day?" asked Toru, trying to fill the greedy silence. No one answered, so Toru decided to add a name. "...Kyo?" The boy swallowed his food and said: "We had almost the same classes the whole day and were at this house together after that. The only time where something really interesting you don't know yet could have happened was my way home, and that was as usual." "She's just trying to make conversation, dumbass." Yuki muttered. "And I answered the question! Don't call me dumbass!" "If you ask someone how his day was you don't want to know the details, you want to know the other one's impression of this day and his current feeling, dumbass. A little "my day was fine how was yours?" would have been the correct answer." "Fine, know-it-all, shut up and don't dare to call me dumbass again!" Toru, foreseeing the worst, interjected: "It's all right, Yuki, really, I was just..." but was interrupted by the silverly-grey haired boy. "Why, what would you do dumbass?" he asked. "DONT CALL ME DUMBASS!!!!" Kyo shouted at top of his voice and sprang towards Yuki who staved off his opponent first attack. The table tremored and Shigure grabbed most of the foodplates, putting them to a safe place while Toru cried: "STOP! Shigure- san, stop them! Please!" But the older man shook his head: "They didn't have a fight for quite a while, let them fight now or there will be a real bad fight..." -a chair flew past his head- "... ookay, this IS the bad fight but I won't interrupt them now, I want to survive until my next birthday you know... c'mon, let's go to a safer place." He added the last sentence as Yuki- to his surprise- was thrown with a slam to the ground making the whole room quiver. "HA! HOW ARE YOU NOW NASTY RAT?!" Kyo yelled happily. Shigure dragged Toru away, out of the room, which already looked like a battlefield. What it was, actually. Yuki, angry now, jumped to his feet, starting an attack on his own. Being one of the 12 eto he possessed more power that a usual could ever gain. Now he lay every bit of it in a single fast punch. Kyo tried to repel it, but this punch was far too strong. It hit him so hard that the air was pressed out of his lungs and the world seemed to be a spinning pegtop, just a blurr of colors. He was unconscious before he hit the thin walls or the tree which was standing in front of the living room in the garden. Yuki watched Kyo collide with the tree and then roll on the ground, almost back to the house. He waited if Kyo moved, and as he didn't, he let his body go limp. Then he realized how the room looked. This will be a lot of work for Kyo!, he thought. And he noticed how broken he suddenly was, and how his right hand ached. It was still a fist and as he tried to open it it hurt even more. "Oh my GOSH! Yuki! How are you..? And Kyo!" Toru ran over to the garden, looking for Kyo. Shigure came next to Yuki. "That you always have to fight you two.... let me see your hand." He looked at the boy's hand, by now being red and a little bit swollen and said: "Go and cool it, okay? I'm going to re-set the table." Yuki nodded and went over to the bathroom. Toru slowly walked towards Kyo's body. Something on him was really strange, she thought. Somehow she didn't dare to touch him, she just stood there looking for a while. Then she noticed that Kyo had always had red hair, but not that red. "Shigure" she wispered. It was blood, she was sure now. "Shigure!!" she screamed.

The young man, suddenly alarmed, came over to the girl quickly. "What's the matter?" he asked, eying Kyo. "There.. there ... isn't it blood?" Toru asked anxious. Shigure followed her gaze, then kneeled down next to the boy. He gently moved Kyo's head, then he said calmly: "Toru, go call the ambulance, please."
