Amaya is also a cat. Whenever she hugs a boy. or when her body is under alot of stress. she changes. Only there is a twist. For some reason, she can control fire. Noone knows why, or how, but she can, and because of this Akito thinks even worse of her.
*Chapter One*
"D****it! Which way is the stupid house?" I muttered, sheilding my eyes from the rain. It was pouring down rain, which was just perfect considering that Kyo would both be in a bad mood and be tired as heck. I didn't enjoy the rain either, and I was currently soaking wet. I was in the forest, trying to find the house Kyo was supposedly living in. I kept going forward, thinking I saw a path. When I got there, I noticed it wasn't a path but a creek. "How the H*** did I even manage to get those confused?" I asked myself aloud. I turned around, muttering to myself about stupidity. I finally found the path, instantly seeing a house on the opposite side. I breathed a sigh of relif. "Finally!" I began walking toward the house- marching is more like it. I had to raise each foot way higher than usual in order to keep them out of the mud as much as possible. I walked up to the front porch, resisting from shaking off all of the water. I was soaked and probably creating a puddle beneath me. I resisted the urge to check. I knocked on the door, beginning to ring out my hair. I waited. Where can he be? It's a saturday, and it's pouring rain, I mean, unless he's napping, which I doubt, then again it is raining... He must be inside! I knocked again. The door slid open to reveal a girl, approximately my age, with long brown hair and blue eyes. She had fair skin and was wearing a blue button down dress. "Oh, Hello!" She said, smiling like I was an old friend. "Uh, yeah, hi. I'm Amaya Matsumoto. Sohma. Whatever you like. Anyway, I've heard that Kyo lives here. Is that true?" "Oh, yes he's inside, would you like to come in?" "No, I wouldn't because I'm soaking wet and I haven't seen Kyo in quite a while and you just told me he's inside plus it's pouring down rain. So yes, I'd like to stay out here." I said sarcastically. "Oh, I'm sorry! I guess I wasn't thinking! Come inside, please! I-" "Woah, dude. Calm your pants. It was a joke- sarcasm. Nothing to get all worked up over." "Oh, I- I'm sorry." I rolled my eyes. Great I'll probably have to room with apology city over here. "Come on in!" She said. Finally. I thought, walking throuhg the sliding door. "So, who are you? Uh, not to be rude or anything." I said, trying as best I could not to have her apologize. "Oh, I'm Tohru Honda." "Okay then Tohru could you please grab me a towel?" I asked. "Oh, sorry!" She said, running off to assumedly grab a towel. I shifted my weight from foot to foot. It was a habit when I was waiting for someone. She came back, holding out a towel to me. "Thanks." I said, taking it from her. I rubbed down, drying my hair last. "So Kyo is here, right?" "Oh! Yes, do you want me to get him for you?" She asked. "Nah, I'll find him." My clothes were actually pretty dry now, and it's not like I was embarrassed when Kyo saw me wet. I opened the nearest screen door. It revealed a dining area, with a table and cushions to sit on. There was a man sitting on one side, and- no way- Yuki? on the other. The man was holding a newspaper, and was wearing a tan robe with a brown belt. He had black hair and brown eyes, with pale-ish skin. Yuki just looked a little more... Yuki-ish only bigger. Still had a girly face, huge purple eyes and navy/gray hair. "Yuki? You live here too?" I thought aloud. "Do I know you?" He asked. He was hard to read but after practice you can get it pretty easily. Right now he was searching for some memory of me. I could tell. "Oh, come on. Sure it's been a few years but I can't be that difficult to recognize." Something sparked in his head. "Amaya?" He asked, obviously not beliving his eyes. "Oh, he's a genius." I said, rolling my eyes. "Yuki? Who's this?" The man asked. "I'm Amaya Matsumoto. Sohma. Whatever, just could one of you be so kind as to tell me where Kyo's room is?" I asked. I mean, I hadn't seen him in a few years... let's see... 7? 8? I lost count. "Oh, he's upstairs. First room on the right." Yuki said. He motioned half-heartedly to a door. I walked up to find the stairs on the far end of the hallway. I shut the door behind me and walked up the stairs. I slid the door open partially. "Knock Knock." I said, peeking my head in. Kyo was sitting at the window, slouched over, resting his head on his hand, staring out the window. "Kyo?" I called, walking into the room. He obviously was lost in thought. I walked up to him, leaning down so I was almost on top of him. "Boo." I said in his ear, instantly moving back to give him room to jump. And he did. "Ah! Geez, What the H*** do you think you're doing?" He said, turning around to me. "A- Amaya? Is that you?" He asked. Kyo hadn't changed much since I last saw him, only like Yuki, the only real thing that had changed was size. He was like a bigger version of when we first met in fact. "Yeah it's me, who'd you think I was? Did you forget me? I'm offended." I pretended to pout. "No! I was just-" "Shocked to see me, yeah I know." "Amaya, I thought you left, I thought they-" "Well I escaped. I mean really, have you ever seen something I can't escape from?" I asked, sitting down. "Anyway, I think we have a bit to catch up on. And I have some news."
"What news?" He asked as I sat down. "Well there are two things. For one, I'll be going to your school starting Monday." I said. "And I'm in your class." I said, waiting for Kyo's response. "R- Really? That's great!" "And another thing. From now on, I'll be living here."
*In the kitchen...*
"So who was that?" Shigure asked, looking at Yuki. "...That was Kyo's best friend. From when we were younger." He said, looking distant. "Was she your friend?" Shigure asked, curious. "Uh, yes, well, no, I mean, yes and no. She has somewhat of a firey temper, much like Kyo's, and she sided with him on everything. So she and I would get into fights now and then. But usually she just hung out with Kyo." He said. "Is she a zodiac?" Tohru asked, happy to meet another zodiac. "Yes. She's the cat." "There are two cats?" Tohru asked. "How come I never knew about her?" Shigure asked. "Well, she wasn't supposed to meet any of us. I overheard her telling Kyo about it one day."
*Flashback*
"Kyo, there's something I need to tell you." Amaya looked both very serious and very sad. "What's up?" Kyo asked. "Well... I'm not supposed to be here. I'm not supposed to know you, or Yuki, or Kazuma." (Quick note- Amaya only met those three, she never met any of the other zodiac.) "... But because I know you, my momma figured it out. And now... She's taking me away." Kyo's face saddened. "But... You can't leave! You're my best friend!" He whined. (Note: This is when they were young, so they whine and cry and all of that childish stuff.) "I know. But I can't go against her desicion. Or Akito's for that matter. They just... I'm just not big enough. ... But I will come back! I promise!" "But when?" "As soon as I can, I will come back!"
*End Flashback*
"...So then she only met you three?" "Yes, she had no other friends either." "Why would she come here, though?" Tohru asked, still confused. "Isn't it obvious? To keep her promise. She's come back for Kyo."
