thank you for the reviews. now i have a question, do you guys mind that theresa talking cat? and would you mind if her secret had a mistical nature to it? or should i keep it strickly romance with a talking cat thrown in?

"Lets see, what shall I wear?" I was going through my closet looking for something that may actually make me look nice without making it seem as if I was trying. I finally settled on a pair of dark jeans and a black tank top. I didn't bother with make-up because again I didn't want to seem as if I was trying. I put my hair up in a bun with a couple chopsticks holding it there and went over to look in the mirror.

"I guess I look ok, Tigger how's my butt?" I looked over at the cat sitting on the bed, if anything she seemed to glare even harder at me.

"It looks big and fat, I think I see some cellulite on the sides. You can't go; you'd scare him away." I knew she was just trying to protect me, but I'm not a child anymore and I can deal with what ever comes my way.

"Thanks Tig-Tig; well I'll be off. Oh and don't get into any trouble while I'm gone ok. Bye!" I grabbed a 10 from my little money box and was out the door.

Alright I should just go and sit on the roof, I get the feeling that he goes up there often; but what if he doesn't today? Then I'll be stuck there like an idiot. My thoughts gnawed at me as I made my way towards the high school and climbed up the fire escape. Piece of cake. Damn that reminds me I should have brought some food. My stomach growled its agreement at my stupidity as I sat down and waited.

Kyo-

I was going to skip school to go to the diner and find more about…Allura. But Tohru said she wouldn't go to school if I didn't. so I'm stuck here listening to the dumb ass teachers. No one in the house knows about Allura, though Shigure has his suspicions. Suddenly the bell rand signaling the change of classes, instead of going to class I went up to the roof to think. Plus I had a little suspicion that there might be something up there.

Allura-

I awoke from my dreamlike state when I heard soft footsteps coming closer. The door to the roof opened and out popped orange top. He looked straight at me and smirked.

"And what are you smirking at?"

"Just the fact that you would come all the way over here, and wait on the roof just to see Me." he said while getting closer.

"Oh I didn't come here to see you. I just came up here to see the view, plus I thought I left my cell here, but then I realized I didn't so I just stayed to chill out." Hurt flashed through his eyes so fast I wasn't even sure it was there.

"Yeah well I'll be leaving you then." He turned around and headed towards the door.

"Kyo, why don't you stay? Hanging out with me can't be any worse then going to class."

"Fine, I don't have anything better to do." He took a seat next to me and we sat there, not talking, for about 10 minutes when I get fed up with all the silence.

"So, the people you were with last night, they were your family?"

"Yeah, Shigure; the one in the weird clothes, Yuki, the girly looking guy, they're both my cousins," his face seemed to harden as he said Yuki's name, " and Tohru, the girl; she's not part of our family she just lives with us."

"She lives with you? Wow hormones must be flying in that house." He lives with a girl; he'd be lying if he said he didn't feel anything for her.

"Oh, um not really; you see she likes Yuki and Yuki likes her just they wont come out and say it which is really pissing me off. But I don't like her, she's like a sister." He said the last part rushed as if reassuring him and me. Laughing I said,

"Its good that you care about her."

"Yeah well, what about you?"

"Well I'm 16, I live on my own in an apartment down the street, and I work part time at the diner. Nothing really special."

"Why do you live alone and why don't you go to school?"

"Well I don't live on my own, own; I have a cat, plus I didn't really get along with my family so I decided it would be best to live on my own. And school's worthless all it does is teach you how to take orders, and work with people; it 'prepares' you for work, but so far I don't need it so I don't worry about it."

"You like cats?"

"Yes very much so, why?"

"No reason. Do you like living on your own?"

"Yes I love it, it's so free. You don't have to answer to anyone and you're only responsible for your self. It's wonderful." I looked over at him and smiled. " you should pay more attention to your studies if you're ever going to find a good job, why are you up here?"

"I like heights, they seem to calm me; plus I wanted to talk to you." Just then another bell sounded, "that's the lunch bell, you can come down if you want, I'm sure Tohru and her friends will like you."

"I don't know." I was laughing but inside I was terrified, I hate meeting new people. But never admit a weakness as I always say. "sure why not." I followed him down the stairs and into a building.

Kyo-

She actually said yes, at first I thought she wouldn't I mean who would want to be seen with the cat. But she doesn't know I'm the cat. What if she did know? I lead her towards the courtyard where I could see the group.

"Kyo over here!" Tohru smiled and ran up to us. "I was worried when you didn't go to your next class but you're here now so that's ok, who's your friend?" she looked behind me to Allura, I think she was happy that I made a friend, which kind of pissed me off.

"I'm Allura, I was your waitress last night." She came out from behind me and stood in front of Tohru as if sizing her up.

"Oh that's right! Do you go to school here?"

"No." I looked over at the rest of the people to see them watching us intently.

"Come on lets go sit down before the periods over." I said trying to break the ice. We sat in a circle under a tree, Allura next to me and Hana next to her.

"Oh I should introduce you to everyone! I'm Tohru, Hana is the one sitting next to you, That's Yuki, Haru, Momiji and this is Uo." I watched as she look at each of them in turn, then her gaze rested on me and she smiled. She then turned to Hana and looked as if they were having a conversation. That psychic girl gives me the creeps. I tried to listen to there conversation while Tohru and the Yankee were questioning me.

"So Allura how do you know Kyo?"

"I met him on the roof yesterday, and well I decided to stop by again today." I knew she came to see me! Cell my ass.

"So Kyo looks like you got yourself a girl, about damn time, I was starting to think you were gay."

"Shut it Yankee!" I went back to eating my rice hoping they would leave me alone. When I calmed down I went back to listening to Allura.

"Allura, oh, that is such a pretty name for such a pretty girl!" I heard Momiji squeal and I could hardly keep myself from beating the shit out of him.

"Awww you're going to grow up to be a total sweetie." Momiji turned to look at me.

"See Kyo she thinks I'm sweet."

"Anyone would think you're sweet if you keep faltering them. Idiot." He just pouted at went back to his food.

"Kyo stop being a dick." Allura glared.

"I'm not being a dick, I can't help it that everything coming out of his mouth pisses me off."

"You're being so childish."

"At least I'll make something of myself!" once the words left my mouth I regretted them, I could see the hurt in her eyes as she tried to recover. "Allura I didn't mean-"

"Yes you did." She said in an eerily calm voice but then took her hand and slugged me across the jaw. When I regained my senses she had already run off. I looked around at the shocked faces, "and you didn't stop her!"

"ohhh Kyo, you're in the dog house!" I swear whenever he opens his mouth it pisses me off.
