Avoiding the Cage

Summery: Kyo finally beats Yuki in a way nobody would have ever expected.

Kyo sat at his desk tapping a pacer insistently on his textbook. Finally he gave up trying to do math homework and opened his diary, writing down the heading: Ways to beat Yuki.

Since he had given up trying to beat him in martial arts, the only thing left seemed to be intelligence. Even Kyo could beat the damn rat in intelligence, right? Yeah.

After much hard thinking, Kyo came to the conclusion that he would ambush Yuki. With cheese. After all, if he was going to beat the rat once and for all, he might as well have fun about it, right?

"Shigure, Kyo has been locked up in his room for four days now…" Tohru whispered. "I think he is going though some sort of mental breakdown!"

Shigure nodded sagely. "He is probably thinking very deeply about the meaning of life in private. Yuki, break his door down."

Tohru went into hyperventilation mode, "NO! SHIGURE! Kyo must have had some logical reason for locking himself up!"

In the background, Yuki muttered darkly, "You tell me to break him out of his 'meditative state as soon as you think he is in one…? Idiot mutt."

Tohru was knocking insistently at Kyo's door. "Kyo? I'm sorry, but if you don't tell us what is bothering you Shigure will have Yuki-" Cue rolling of eyes from said rat, "Break down the door!"

There was silence for a time before Kyo yelled back. "Ok! Send him in then!"

"I still can't believe you ambushed Yuki with a giant mousetrap, Kyo…"

A hum in response. "Yea. I'm so smart."

THE END
