Ch.1
Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia or Fruits Basket.
Summary: When Kyo gets stuck in his cat form and gets hurt he was not expecting to be saved by a blond man with a British accent and huge eyebrows. He was also not expecting to become the man's new pet cat….
Couples: England X Kyo, some Germany X Italy, some Spain X Romano, some Yuki X Tohru, and possible other couples.
Everything hurts; this was the only thing that Kyo could think of as he laid in the middle of the empty street in the rain in his cat form. Normally he would go and find some shelter from the rain or try to get back to Shigure's house, but just trying to move caused every part of his body to scream at him to lie right back down because it was just too painful to move. Kyo cursed his luck as he thought back to how he ended up in this situation. Yuki had ticked him off as usual and he left the house to take a walk and get away from Yuki for awhile. Unfortunately for Kyo during his walk he walked down a rather empty street and slammed right into some girl.
Thanks to his curse he immediately transformed into a cat, but Kyo was able to get away before the smoke that seemed to appear every time he transformed faded away. However in his rush to get away hr forgot to grab his cloths and he ended up running into an alleyway that had a few cat hating dogs hanging out there. Kyo was able to get away from the dogs before they tore him into pieces but he ended up getting quite a few injuries during the chase. If it had only been one dog Kyo would have been alright, but when it's one cat against four dogs it's safe to say that the Kyo was not going to be able to take them all on at once. The dogs had been able to rip out few chunks of his fur and one of the dogs had bit his left back leg hard enough that it was now bleeding and he was limping a bit when he ran.
He also had a few scratches here and there and he had a rather bad cut on his shoulder blade. Luckily Kyo was able to get away from them before they could do anymore damage, but by the time he had escaped his injuries where finally starting to take effect and he was just so tired from running for so long. To make things even more miserable for him it had started to rain and the rain was ice cold. All Kyo could do was lie there on the cold ground and bleed as the rain beat down on him. A few people had passed by him but they did nothing to help, but it's not like Kyo was really expecting anyone to.
To them he was just some filthy alley cat that was probably going to die soon and was not anything to waste their time with. Kyo's injuries where bad enough and he was bleeding enough that he had to wonder if he would die from the blood loss. Kyo could not help but mentally snort at that thought, what a way to die. However, before Kyo could continue with his dreary thoughts he heard what sounded like footsteps coming toward him. Kyo looked straight ahead to see what was walking toward him only to see some blond haired man dressed up in a nice suit and was carrying a pitch black umbrella walking toward him.
Kyo expected the man to just walk right by him without a care so he was very surprised when the man ran straight toward him once he noticed the injured cat. The man knelt down and examined him a little before he let out a little sigh.
"Bloody hell what happened to you?" The man asked the cat as he looked at him.
Kyo didn't answer he just looked at the man's face with wide eyes. The man had large emerald green eyes that seemed to be filled with sympathy and Kyo could not help but think that the man had very pretty eyes. The man also had a pair of the largest eyebrows that Kyo had ever seen before in his whole entire life. Kyo could not help but stare that the huge caterpillars that where this Englishman's eyebrows that where just too big not to look at. The blond haired man didn't seem to notice that Kyo was staring at him he just gently picked the orange cat up and held him in his arm before he stood up.
"Let's go and get you patched up." The man said before he started to run all while trying his best not to have Kyo move around too much.
As the man ran Kyo could not help but slightly wonder why he would help some injured cat he found lying in the middle of the street, but he found that he did not care. What was important was the fact that this man was helping him and that Kyo's now tired mind could really care about right now. Kyo closed his eyes and laid his head against the man's chest before he drifted off to sleep…..
When England was walking back to his hotel after attending the World Meeting he was not expecting to find an injured cat along the way. The cat was bleeding rather badly, but England could see that the cat was still breathing.
"What the bloody hell happened to you?" England whispered out as he looked at the cat.
After looking at the cat's injuries England finally bent down so he could pick the cat up. He was slow as he picked the cat up so he would not move him around and so he would not scare the cat. The cat just watched his movements and didn't move to scratch or bite England, which was something that the English nation was thankful for. Once the cat was in his arms England looked at the cat's eyes only to be surprised to see that the cat had crimson red eyes. In all of his years of living England had never seen a cat with red eyes and England could tell right then and there that there was something special about this cat.
"Let's go and get you patched up." England said as he started to walk toward his hotel.
The cat just closed its eyes and let out a little breath of air before it fell asleep. England was quick to get to his hotel and he was even quicker to get into his hotel room. Luckily the hotel allowed pets so no one stopped him from bringing the cat into the hotel. However it was also very late into the night and their where not a lot (or any) people wondering around the hotel so even if he could not bring the cat in he really did not have to worry about being caught. Once England was in his hotel room he gently placed the cat down onto the bed before he walked over to his suitcase. He had started to carry around a mini first aid kit around in his suitcase after America had gotten hurt when he was running to get ice cream so he was already prepared to take care of the cat.
England cleaned the cat's wounds and wrapped them up with bandages. The cat never woke up as England took care of him, but England figured it was probably for the best because the cat would probably get mad and try to bite him if it knew he was touching his wounds. Once the cat was all patched up Arthur started to scratch the cat behind the ear and the British nation could not help but smile a little when he heard the orange cat start to purr. England could not help but wonder about just what he would do with the cat now. He could not put it back out into the streets in this condition, the cat was far to hurt to be able to really take care of itself and the poor cat could get hit by a car or something.
He briefly thought about putting the cat into an animal shelter, but there was a chance that the cat would never get adopted. Also England could not help but wonder about the cat. He had never seen a cat with red eyes before and England could tell that there was something that was a little strange about the small animal. England could not quite put his finger on it, but he could just sense that there was something special about the feline. As England continued to pet the cat and idea started to form in his mind and England started to smile a little once he figured out exactly what he would do with the orange cat.
"Well since you have nowhere to go I'll just go ahead and adopt you, does that sound good to you?"
The cat said nothing it just continued to purr in its sleep. England just took this as a yes before he chuckled a little and said "Well I think things at my house will be a bit more exciting with a cat around."
Little did England know just how true those words where….
Ok, so that's chapter one. Yeah I know this is a bit of a strange couple, but I wanted to try my hand at it and I kind of like the idea of England finding out about the curse and everything. The reason I chose England was mostly because of the fact that England knows about magic and curses. He would actually believe in the curse and not just reject it or have a hard time accepting the whole thing. Another reason is the fact that both England and Kyo have had a lot of heartache in their lives and while their painful pasts may not me the same I think they could understand how the other feels to a certain extent. Anyway, I will try and get the next chapter up as soon as possible so please review and don't flame.
