Kyo lay back on the roof of Shigure's house. He was brooding again. He stared up at the stars, his red eyes flashing with anger. "That damn rat, I wish that he would just keep his fat mouth shut."

~flashback~

Kyo sat across the table from Tohru. She had just made dinner and was serving everyone. Shigure sat nest to her praising her. "Wow, Tohru you really are going to make a great wife for someone one day." Tohru blushed. "I don't think so. I mean it's not that good." Yuki smiled at her, "You are too modest Miss Honda, and it's wonderful, really." Tohru blushed deeper. Kyo watched them suddenly angered. It just seemed whenever Yuki smiled at her like that he got angry, "Kyo here's your plate." Kyo looked at her and then took his plate. He smiled. She looked so happy, a big goofy grin on her beautiful face. He didn't realize it, but he was staring. "What are you staring at?" Yuki remarked an icy look on his face. "None of your freakin' business, you damn rat!" Kyo said standing up ready to fight. Yuki stood up too. "You wanna fight stupid cat?" Tohru looked anxiously at them. "Please don't fight I don't want either one of you to get hurt!" they both froze 'I cant make miss Honda worry' thought Yuki just as Kyo thought, 'that damn rat, I can't hurt him when Tohru's around. That would make her unhappy.'

~end flashback~

Kyo sat up and looked across the darkened yard. He seemed to be thinking of Tohru a lot lately. He just couldn't seem to get her out of his mind. Kyo started to pace back and forth on the roof. Ever since she had gotten sick and he had taken care of her, he couldn't stop seeing her in his mind wherever he went.

Tohru listened to Kyo's footsteps on the roof as she lay in her bed. She was worried about him. He had been off by himself a lot lately. 'Could he be mad at me?' she wondered. She had to go see. She pulled the covers off herself and tiptoed down the hall so that she wouldn't wake anyone. As she stepped outside the cold night air chilled her. "I better get a blanket for Kyo He must be cold." She quickly ran inside and grabbed one.

Kyo sat back down just as Tohru came up the ladder. He jumped up as he yelled. "What the hell!....oh, Tohru." she clambered onto the roof, a blanket in her hands. "I brought you a blanket because I thought you might be a little cold." Kyo blushed and turned away. "I don't need one, I'm fine." Tohru nodded and spread out the blanket on the roof. Kyo watched her as she sat down by him. She was beautiful in the moonlight. Her long flowing brown hair was streaked with silver. Her pale innocent face was lifted to the sky, her sapphire eyes glowing with excitement. Kyo felt something stir inside him. He wanted to touch her so bad. To feel her soft face against his hand. To feel her warm lips against his...He almost reached out to her, but stopped himself. Kyo shook his red head. What was he thinking?

Inside his room Yuki tossed back and forth on his bed. His silver hair was tousled over his troubled violet eyes. Beads of sweat streamed down his face as he let out a little moan. He sat up in bed, the hot covers sliding off his skin. The rat put one hand to his head brushing a loose hair away from his face. He sat there with his head in his hands, pondering the meaning of his dream. He had dreamed of Akito. He had been alone with him I that room, Akito's whop striking him over and over, the pain coursing through his tiny body. Then it all stopped and he cringed in the dark corner, waiting for it to continue, waiting for the pain to return. But it didn't come. He looked up to see that Akito had disappeared and now Tohru was standing over him crying. "Miss Honda?" he had whispered as he stood up next to her. That's when the strange part of his dream began. All the sudden he was hugging her and he wasn't transforming. Then he had kissed her, drinking in her sweet existence. He shook the dream out of his head. He shouldn't think about Miss Honda that way. She was only his friend.. Nothing more than a friend...

Tohru had fallen asleep out on the roof. Kyo carried her back to her room being careful not to accidentally transform. He laid her carefully on the bed, covering the blankets over her. He started to head out of the room, but stopped to look back at her. He listened to the sound of her soft breathing. He watched as a few loose hairs blew across her face, blown by a slight breeze coming in through the open window. She would get cold if she left that open for the rest of the night. He crossed the room and closed the window. And with one last look at Tohru, the cat assumed his position back on the roof.

It rained that night and when Kyo woke up the next morning on the roof, he was soaked. "Damn..." he said just before he sneezed. He hoped he wasn't going to get sick. That damn Yuki, this was all his fault. When Kyo walked into the kitchen Tohru was making breakfast, a pink apron tied around her waist, humming absentmindedly. Shigure walked in the kitchen. "Tohru is breakfast almost done?....Kyo what happened to you?" Tohru turned around to look at the sopping wet boy. "Kyo! Are you ok?" she said rushing over to him with a towel. (A/n: yes the towel came out of nowhere.) "Yeah, I'm fine" he said gruffly, taking the towel from Tohru. "Oh did the kitty fall asleep and get rained on?" Shigure teased. "You bastard Shigure! Don't bother me right now." He said as he wiped off his hair and walked up to his room, sneezing all the way. Tohru looked after him. "Do you think he's getting a cold....Kyo wait!" she ran after him. Kyo turned around to look at her, blinking. "What do you want?" she put her hand on his forehead. "Do you feel sick?.. I think that you have a fever. " Kyo blushed. "I'm just fine, don't worry about me." Then he started coughing. Tohru looked really worried. "Kyo I think you should go back to bed, forget about school." Kyo started to wobble as he walked and he collapsed against the wall in a fit of coughing and sneezing. "Kyo!" Tohru yelled running after him, but before she could get to him he had already transformed. He curled up into a ball on the floor shivering.

Hatori heard the phone ring. He set down his pad of paper and pen and answered it. "Hello this is Hatori." Tohru's worried voice answered him. "Hatori, Kyo's really sick! He collapsed and then transformed into a cat and I don't know what to do! I'm so worried!" Hatori tried to comfort her. "It's ok, Tohru. I'll be there in a few minutes. Just keep him warm till I can get there." Hari hung up the phone, grabbed his doctor's bag, and rushed out the door.
