Chapter 1: Painful Blows

Normal pov

It was another normal day in the Sohma residence, sun, forest, a nice summer breeze and...

"YOU STUPID CAT!"

"DON'T INSULT ME RAT!"

"I'll do what I like! ... stupid cat... love the painful come back by the way"

"YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HURT, my FIST in your little princess FACE!... AGHHHH!"

SMASH... THUD...

"So did a fist to the face hurt Kyo?"

...and yes the cat and the rat...

"Yuki... did you really have to hit Kyo through the door... my poor house, slowly being torn to pieces" Shigure moaned holding back the tears forming deep in his eyes.

"It was either the door or the kitchen – which would you have preferred?" Yuki calmly replying while rubbing the knuckles which collided with the underside of Kyos face (Yuki considered it his best hit so far- not like he's counting or anything).

"No... No the door is fine, wouldn't want Kyos body destroying the kitchen – I wouldn't want to miss one of Tohrus stupendous meals" shigue stated with his hand raised above his head in defeat.

"Where is Tohru anyway?..." Kyo croaked as he slowly un-stuck his face from the floor.

"Oh so it's alive! Why hello Kyo how was your conversation with the ground?" shigure teased.

"It was very rough and he says Yuki should drop in more" Kyo replied with sheer sarcasm and hidden hatred.

"You'll be dropping in on him again soon and when you do you can tell him 'as if thats ever going to happen'" Yuki spat as Kyo slowly rose from the floor and dusted off the loose dirt from his black-t and cargo pants.

"IT'S GO TIME RAT! Round 2!" Kyo raised his fist and ran straight for Yuki.

"Before you two go destroying more of my precious house, if you wouldn't mind! The answer to your question is she was called into work early and she should be finished in around the next..." shigure looked down at his watch slowly estimating, " about 20 minutes, shouldn't one of you go and pick her up, after all there are many strange people out there."

"As if any of them are as strange as you! Pervert dog..." Kyo glared (and if he was a cat at the time hissed)

"Yes well, I'm not talking about me." Shigure replied with a grin.

"I'll go pick up miss Honda, you two just stay here and fix the door- that's aimed at Kyo saying as his thick head was the thing that destroyed the door in the first place!" Yuki sneered slowly walking away from the house, down the dirt path which leads to town through the forest. "I will be back with Miss Honda shortly."

"What?! Why do you get to go?!" Kyo complained with a scowl in his eyes and if you could see the jealously it would be like the sun... get to close you would fry ... or just get hit...

"Awww does lover boy wanna go pick up his lover girl?" Shigure jokingly (secretly serious) pointed out.

Kyos face turned every shade red imaginable, "what! No! I don't ... I mean ... what the hell are you saying dog?!" Kyo shouted with one fist raised high ready to punch and Shigures collar in his other.

"Oh nothing, nothing, never mind," Shigure slyly said waving his hand as a jester of 'no trouble' (as if..) "Oh and Yuki has already gone, just saying..." Shigure pointed out as he pointed to the path where Yuki once was, but is no more.

"Oh, Whatever!" he said in irritation and let go of his grip on Shigure and let him fall with a small bump onto the floor, the stomped his way up the stairs.

"Ow..." Shigure said rubbing his behind, "well might as well get some writing done I'm feeling inspired!" he slowly dragged himself to his office where he would stay until he smelt food (or if there were high school girls).

Kyos pov

"Oh, Whatever!"

'Why does that damn rat get to do everything, it's not a case of who saw her first...'

Kyo stomped up the stairs and slammed the door before taking a flying leap onto his bed with his face on the pillow and right arm dangling off the side.

'I mean it's not like ... I like Tohru... well I like her but... I mean I don't love her or anything... ahhh who am I kidding... of course I like her ... I ... love her.'

Kyo a deep sigh and his fist tightened and he punched into his pillow in his fustration.

'For once I'm not going to let that little Mr perfect get what he wants! ... at least not Tohru... anything but her'

Kyo sprung off his bed in a rage before sprinting up the ladder to the roof. Only when he was on the roof did he pause and breathe. 'Damn rat', he murmured angrily as he threw himself backwards onto the sun baked tiles. He watched each cloud go past and imagined each one to be the mangled remains of a very popular rat, 'DAMN YOU YUKI!' He rolled over and shut his eyes.

"KYO, I hope you're not destroying my house again? I sense a lot of dangerous vibes coming from the roof!" Shigures annoying voice filtered into Kyo's cat like ears. 'DAMN DOG, IM NOT DOING ANYTHING!"

"Whatever you say kyo-kyo!" Shigure teased

"I TOLD YOU NEVER TO CALL ME THAT!" Kyo screamed in response to his new nickname.
