The Prince and the Kittens

"Where were you?!" Thoru cried out as Yuki entered the comfortable home.

"I was in my secret base." Yuki lied. In his hand he held a dishtowel. He started towards the kitchen.

"Hiya Yuki! Welcome home!" shouted Shigure. A startled Yuki dropped the dishtowel in fright. Strawberries scatered everywhere.

"I'm not cleaning that up." said Shigure as he walked away. Yuki mumbled something to himself and knelt over to pickup the strawberries to find Thoru was washing off the strawberries in the sink.

"Um..uh..Thank you miss Thoru-chan." he stammered. She turned the faucet off and faced Yuki. A smile spread across her face.

"It was no bigie." she countered. She walked toward Yuki and snatched his hands. She held them for a long time. She then hugged him. While hugging she whispered in his ear "I have the best christmas present for you and the others. Just you wait."

With that she walked away and left him transformed. A few minutes later she announced that she was going shopping for tonights dinner ingredients. This was his chance!

"I gotta go to." Yuki announced shortly afterwards. He left.

After walking for 5 minuteshe reached a house in the forest just on the other side of town. He knocked on the door. The door opened and a lady with what seemed liike millions of scars on her face and arms answered.

"Hello? Oh! Your the young lad from yesterday aren't you?" she asked him. " Yuki Sohma wasn't it?".

"Yes I am. I've come to talk about the kitten." he explained to her.

"You can have them all!" she walked in for a second then came ack to the door with a picnic basket. " Keep the basket, keep the kittens. Now be on your way Yuki dear. It's getting late!".

"Yes Matilda. I shall leave now. Thank you." Yuki said as he turned away.

"And don't EVER bring them varmits back. You hear me child? NEVER!" screamed Matilda. The door slammed and Yuki could have swore he heard locks clicking...
