A/N:
Nyaa. Partly Yuki chapter. Everybody dance.
No really, just do it. My god, I sound like Saddam Hussein.
Yuki sat quietly through dinner, as Tohru and Shigure busied themselves with their own little conversation. Yuki wasn't really interested in the average velocity of a pregnant swallow in the middle of Winter.
"Thankyou for dinner, Miss Honda, but I'm not particularly hungry. I bid you a good night" Sighed Yuki, slowly prodding off to his bedroom, where he slammed the door shut and flopped on his bed.
"How is it… how is it I didn't see it coming?" Yuki asked his hands, which he was currently holding up in front of his face. His hands said nothing, so he continued, "Why? I just didn't expect that stupid cat to be so… brave. But now, the big question is…" He stood up and walked silently over to his window, looking out into the night. "Who am I supposed to go with now?"
Yuki opened his window up and sat on the window sill, one leg in the room and one leg outside in the cold. He gazed into the darkness, the unblinking darkness.
"Machi… I can't go with her. I wouldn't go with her. Not that I have anything against her, but…" Yuki paused and turned to a solemn owl, listening to him in a tree before him, "Mr. Owl, what do you think?"
The owl hooted softly before flapping it's wings gracefully and flying into the night. It was then, Yuki had an idea.
"I know who I'll ask… hopefully they'll say yes… hopefully Miss Honda wont find out and kill me… hopefully they'll be at school tomorrow…" Yuki continued his rants, before climbing back inside and snuggling down into his bed. His thoughts were no longer troubled, as he had a plan.
It was getting darker by the second, at Kazuma's house. Kyo stared out the dojo window into the same darkness that Yuki had been speaking to just a minute ago. It was coming close the 8 o'clock, as Kyo decided to head into the kitchen, but something caught his eye. Something… moving.
"Master… come quick and look at this…" Kyo whispered, "Something's out there…"
"I suspect she has come early"
"Nyaa! Kagura!" Kyo stood up and hurried into the bathroom, before locking the door and sealing the windows shut. He didn't want any broken bones so close to the prom. But, it wasn't the female voice of Kagura that he heard. It sounded like…
"Yes darling, I decided to come over for some dinner and to meet this mysterious boy of yours!" Madame Ellifont exclaimed all too loudly, probably so Kyo would hear her.
Sighing, he kept out of the bathroom and into the hall. He stepped out and gaped at the woman who stood before him.
Her body, is what caught Kyo's attention first. She was a tall lady, very tall indeed. Her eyes shone a deep blue colour and her hair was a dirty blondish colour in… a bee's hive hairdo. She was wearing a sport uniform, her green and white slacks matching her green and white jacket. She smiled and nodded at Kyo.
"You're a fine boy, you are. You'll be able to learn much from me"
"So you're the teacher, right?"
"Never say that word!" Madame Ellifont bellowed, shaking her fist in Kyo's direction. He gulped and backed off a little bit, but then, to his surprise, she smiled. "I much prefer not to be known as a teacher. I don't really teach, I just bring out the souls within people, which they never knew they had"
"Souls within people…" Kyo repeated softly, thinking about his two other forms. He shook his head, trying to erase the fact she might come across the curse because of him.
"So, you wanna learn something tonight, or wait until morning?"
"What?"
"DO YOU WANNA LEARN TONIGHT OR IN THE MORNING?" Yelled Madame Ellifont so loudly, that Kyo's cat ears pricked up and folded back, "Aww, what a cute little ears! Where'd you get those?"
"Uhh… y-ya see…" Kyo stuttered attempting to press them down into the hidden position on his head. Madame Ellifont turned away, completely dazed, and walked to Kazuma.
"You see this boy? He has talent. I can see it now. In his eyes" She said, pointing at Kyo and looking his straight in the eye; a first for both of them.
"Look, whatever ya name is, I'm kinda tired, so we can do this in the morning if ya want-"
"No! You will learn tonight! You never get anywhere darling, with attitude like this! Come now, we leave right away for practice!"
"But-"
"But nothing! Lets go!" She said, grabbing his hand and tugging it roughly in the direction of her car outside, "Oh, a please, just called me Marianne…"
"R-Right…"
Kyo was bustled into her car, as she jumped in beside him and inserted the key into the ignition, turning it and speeding from 0 to 100km within a second. Kyo gasped and shut his eyes, praying he would die tonight.
But then he realized something that bothered him. Kazuma never even attempted to stop her from taking him away, at some ridiculous hour of the night time. Sighing, he thought of Tohru.
"This is for you…" He mumbled into window, which his face was currently planted on, watching his surroundings whir past him at top speed.
