Sandwich
What if there was a way to switch curses? What if the person you switched with had a black soul? What if Yuki gave up the Zodiac curse in order to switch with me? What if Kyo didn't know? Read and Review please!
To Foreshadow...
"Yuki?" I asked nervously. This was my only chance. I could be free of my black soul. I could give it to Yuki.
"Hmm? Yes, Kihaku-san? Was there something you wanted?"
I couldn't believe I was doing this. But to finally be rid of the burden was a temptation too great.
"Please, Yuki…" I stammered, "Please, Yuki…give me your soul…"
Chapter One
I bowed to Shishou.
"Thank you for allowing me to participate in your dojo, Shishou…" I mumbled.
He smiled. I almost felt guilty all over again. I didn't even have to pay to be in it.
"Thank you for agreeing to cook for me and Kyo in exchange. I'm sure Kyo will be grateful. Have you met him?"
I flushed. He was the reason I was here. I wanted his soul so bad…
"No. I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting him. I have only heard of his martial skill and famous hair," I smiled at the last part. Akito was a good informer.
"What about my hair?" A rough voice called behind me. I spun around.
Kyo Sohma.
I blinked at him. It was orange.
"It's orange…" I said aloud. He flushed red with annoyance.
"Yeah, yeah. It's orange and all that. Now stop staring and tell me what you're here for already!"
I opened my mouth to reprimand him for his rudeness. Shishou beat me to it.
"Kyo… This is Kuro-Kihaku. She'll be cooking and living here. I won't have you scaring her off. She's free."
Kyo glared at me. I stared back as innocently as I could. I had to make him believe I was harmless…
"Geh…Nothing is free. She wants something. Just look at her!"
I stiffened and turned to face Shishou. Did I really look as if I wanted something? Was I that obvious?
"Kyo…Don't be like that. She is cooking in exchange for lessons."
Guilt washed over me. I was cooking in exchange for a soul.
"Whatever. Just show her the kitchen and grocery money. I'll be in my room."
I frowned. Getting Kyo to switch souls with me might take time. More time than Akito had said.
"Don't worry Kihaku-san. Kyo will get used to you eventually. In the mean time, how about lunch?" Shishou suggested. I nodded in agreement.
The Curse Swapping will have to wait.
