The four teenagers walked down the street, each caught up in their own thoughts and conversations. Ikuto and Tadase walked ahead of the two ex-charas discussing the possibilities of 'how this could have happened', while Yoru and Kiseki walked side by side in silence.

Kiseki looked down at the smaller teen. Yoru was wearing dark brown, baggy pants, a black shirt stopping short of his bellybutton, and a pair of black converse. His golden eyes sparkled with wonder as he looked at the scenery that passed by. Yoru looked up, his eyes meeting Kiseki's blue ones. The Taller teen wore a red shirt with a grey jacket, tight dark blue, skinny jeans, and red converse.

Yoru smiled and grabbed Kiseki's wrist, pulling him across the street.

"What! Yoru, where are we going?" Kiseki yelled.

Kiseki blushed as he stared down at Yoru's hand around his wrist. "Oh…My….Gosh….he is holding my hand. Yoru is holding my hand….okay well it's my wrist but still…why am I blushing…stop it Kiseki…focus!"

Yoru looked back at Kiseki and grinned, mischief dancing in his eyes. Yoru pulled Kiseki across the street towards the thing that caught his eye. Yoru finally reached a tree and looked up; still holding Kiseki's hand. Yoru found what he was looking for; he let go, much to Kiseki's disappointment, and started to climb the tree.

"Yoru, What are you doing?" Kiseki asked, placing his hands on his hips.

"Raising a chicken farm…what does it look like I am doing? I am climbing this tree!" Yoru replied, laughing slightly at his own joke.

"Well get down NOW!" Kiseki demanded, looking around to see if anyone was watching.

"You're not the boss of me!" Yoru retorted, childishly.

Kiseki let out a frustrated sigh. A few minutes later, Yoru cried out in triumph.

"Yoru, Are you okay?" Kiseki worriedly asked.

Yoru's only answer was a laugh and then he dropped out of the tree. Yoru stood in front of Kiseki with the cheesiest grin on his face. He had a couple leaves sticking out of his hair and grass stains on his clothes. He held out a white cat or at least it used to be white it now had a leaves and other debris sticking out of its fur.

"You dragged me all the over here all…for a cat?" Kiseki said, irritated.

"Sure I did!" Yoru said, still smiling.

Kiseki rolled his eyes, but smiled slightly. "He's such a dork…"

The cat, however, did not like the fact that someone climbed HIS tree and rudely woke him up from a nap. He clawed at the stranger's face trying to escape his grip. Yoru dropped the cat and watched as it ran away.

"Why would h-he do….that?" Yoru asked no one, hurt and betrayal showing in his eyes.

Kiseki didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to comfort Yoru! He never had to before. Yoru seemed impenetrable, like nothing could shake him. He has never seen this side of Yoru before!

"I…don't understand. Why did he do that? I just wanted to play with him!" Yoru said, sitting on the grass.

Kiseki stood there not knowing what to do, he had never seen a cat not like Yoru, sure a lot of cats didn't like him they even tried to eat him once, but never has he seen a cat act that way towards Yoru. I guess it was because Yoru was a cat himself...well used to be, Kiseki studied Yoru's face, looking for the right words to say, but they wouldn't come. Nothing he could say would change the fact that Yoru was human, that they were humans. Kiseki studied the ground suspiciously before he sat down beside the ex-feline.

"Look, Yoru, you…just startled him-"Kiseki said, looking over at Yoru.

"Y-yeah I'm sure that it!" Yoru stated, somewhat confidently.

"There you guys are!" Tadase waved from across the street.

"Ikuto does not look happy!" Yoru said, quickly jumping up and wipping off his pants, "Come on , Kiseki!" Yoru smiled, offering his hand to Kiseki.

Kiseki gladly took it.
