Part one
Sequel to my story - Cat VS Rat... if you haven't read it you don't really have to... Basically everyone was cured... Tohru had gotten her memories erased as well. Kyo moved back in with Kazuma. Emjoy!


"Oh! I'm sorry!" A girl about Kyo's age had bumped into him in the hall, spilling her papers everywhere.

Kyo bent down to help her pick them up, "No, no it's alright."

She glanced up at him, brushing a strand of her long, chestnut hair out of her eyes.

Kyo's breath caught… she was beautiful. She had the deepest, bluest eyes he had ever seen and her complexion was so natural.

Her tan skin went nice with her navy school uniform that fit tightly around her gorgeous figure. Her skirt was a little longer than Tohru used to wear hers… Tohru. Memories of her brought back pain… the way she had abandoned them all…

"Nice to meet you, I'm Tora," She had stood, holding her papers under her left arm.

"Kyo." Kyo stuck out his hand. Wait… Tora… he knew that name… "Is your mother's name Uma?" he asked.

"Yes. I wondered if you'd remember me," She seemed really excited.

Her mother and Kazuma had gone out for a few years and Kyo and Tora had become best friends. But Akito said Kyo couldn't see Tora anymore which drove Uma and Kazuma apart… he hadn't seen Tora since middle school.

"Hey, Tora… do you want to come over for supper? I'm sure Shishou would be happy to see you," Kyo offered.

"Yes! I'd love to! But… Akito-san…" She hesitated.

"Akito is no longer head of my family," Kyo explained as Tora's face brightened. "He stepped down."

"Okay!" She said.

"Alright," Kyo agreed, then someone caught his eye…Tohru was across the other hall talking to the Yankee.

"I'll meet you after this class by the front doors," Kyo stated. Tora nodded and turned to go to class.

Ask Kyo began walking in the opposite direction, Arisa shouted,

"Hey, Kyon, over here!"

Grumbling, Kyo walked over to her and Tohru.

"How come Tohru moved out?" She demanded.

"She doesn't know about it," Kyo said.

Arisa stared at him blankly.

"Her memory was erased!" Kyo shouted. Tohru looked at both of them with curiosity.
"We were cursed," Kyo explained. "By the 12 animals of the Zodiac. All the Sohma kids here were. Every time someone from the opposite gender hugged us, we would transform into that animal. Things got too hard for Tohru and she had Hatori erase her memories."

Something in Tohru's eyes changed and she threw herself at Kyo,

"Kyo-kun! Kyo-kun, I remember!" She shouted with joy.

"What? How's that possible?" Kyo was shocked.

No one had ever gotten their memories back after Hatori erased them… had Hatori done this on purpose?

"Shishou, I'm home!" Kyo shouted, walking through the door, followed by Tora.

As Kazuma walked in to welcome his son home, he noticed Tora.

"Tora… It's nice to see you again."

She smiled, "You too, Kazuma."

At dinner, (Kyo had ended up cooking for them) Tora asked Kyo if he would be interested in going out to a movie that night. Kyo had nodded, glancing nervously at Kazuma who just nodded.

"Well, you two should get going," Kazuma stood and started to gather the dishes.

Tora and Kyo walked down the stairs towards the door when Kazuma stopped Kyo, motioning for Tora to wait downstairs.

"Shishou?" Kyo asked.

"Kyo, I know that you like each other… but be careful… it hasn't been long since the curse was lifted and things are new to you," Kazuma explained.
He was acting like a doting parent and Kyo was getting the feeling he was about to launch into some kind of 'birds and the bees' talk so he nodded hurriedly,

"Yeah I know."

Kazuma hugged Kyo quickly, kissing his head, "Be home by ten."


Kyo: Oh don't you feel special?

Uma: I changed my name to Uma!

Kyo: We don't care.

Kazuma: This is interesting.

Kyo: Why the hell are you her mother?

Uma: I wanted to date Kazuma.

Kyo: YOU LITTLE...
