Well, I realized a few mistakes and changed just some spelling…I accidentally put 'feline' instead of 'canine' and other simple stuff like that.

Animalistic Urges

Chapter 3

Kat's POV

Valentine's Day, the day dedicated to lovers and such, oh what a wonderful day. Niiro and I were the only ones in the hallway at the moment; he was keeping an eye out for anybody that could be lurking the halls while I broke into Yuki's locker. My eye twitched when I finally got it open. I was met with chocolates pouring out like I only thought could happen in manga. Niiro chuckled at my facial expression as I attempted to dispose of all the chocolates. I emptied all of the 'gifts' from Yuki's fans into the wastebasket, replacing theirs with my own.

"Do you have to throw them all away? I wanted one." Niiro whined.

I shook my head. "Just you wait…I bet when everyone else shows up, you will be swamped by those of the female gender." I stared into Yuki's locker with a smile. "There…all done."

Niiro stepped up behind me, his chocolate gifts in a bag. "Do you think she's going to be here?"

"Who?" I muttered, rummaging through my own bag for the presents for the other Sohma's.

"You know…Tohru's one friend…the Yankee…Uo."

I raised an eyebrow at my brother, "eh, why?"

"Well…" He shrugged. "She's kinda cute."

Ah, that would make sense. Ever since Niiro had met Uo, she was all he thought about. I can't say that I was any better; Yuki had been on my mind constantly.

I looked up over at Niiro just as he was sneaking the top chocolate out of the trash bin. Shaking my head, I snatched it from his hand. "Nii, that's nasty, that was in the trash."

"So? It was on top, it's not like I was digging through the trash to get it." He tried to steal the candy back but I held it just out of reach.

"No, you can wait until we get home."

Niiro continued to try and grab the chocolates but I kept sliding away from his grasp. Just as he had cornered me against the lockers, I heard the others thoughts. I slipped away from Niiro and jumped at the on-comers. I should have paid attention a tad bit more. There was a puff of smoke and a hand picked me up by my fur. I was thrown into Yuki's open locker, and as I looked up, the door shut in my face. I wrapped around Yuki's gift and stared at the door, hoping it would open soon. The voices outside were deeper than they should be for Yuki, Kyo, and the girls. I could hear Niiro apologize to the guys and the sound of clothes rustling.

More thoughts could be heard, this time it was actually Yuki, Kyo and the girls. I grabbed the present in my mouth and sat near the door of his locker, waiting. The lock was being opened by someone, hopefully Yuki; otherwise, we'd be screwed.

The door opened and I met Yuki's eyes. The shock was evident on his face. I plopped the candies in front of him, grinning. Before I could say anything the door was slammed in my face once more. I growled; how dare he? I looked down, the door wasn't completely shut and I could see a sliver of the outside.

"Hmmm, it looks like someone had already removed rival candies." I could see through Hana's eyes that everyone was staring at the trash bin. Using this time, I pushed the door open with my paw and leapt out of the locker. Niiro tossed me some clothes and pushed me into the girl's bathroom, or what he thought was the girl's bathroom. I pushed out of the restrooms, eyes shut, running to the other room.

I saw nothing! I yelled mentally.

I sat inside the empty restroom and only had to wait a second or two before I poof-ed back to my original form. I was able to dress quickly and slip out of the bathroom, sliding up behind Niiro. "Yes, who could have done that? Ruining someone's chocolates like that…it's horrible." I shook my head.

Tohru and Kyo were the only ones that jumped at my arrival. Uo and Hana raised an eyebrow at me but said nothing.

"Really, Kat? Who would you image would have done that?" Niiro sighed.

I shrugged. "Me."

Hana reopened Yuki's locker and shook her head. "Just one present…I kind of wanted to see the chocolates pour out of the locker like 'dosa-dosa'."

"I doubt it really happens like that in real life." Kyo muttered.

"Actually...it did. Nearly drowned in them…" I gently bit down on my tongue ring and started playing with it. I grabbed the chocolates from Yuki's locker and handed them to him, with a slight blush on my cheeks. "For you."

He grinned and kissed my cheek. "Thank you, Love," he whispered in my ear. This made me blush harder.

Niiro bent down and picked up the fallen chocolates. I grabbed them from his grasp, shaking my head.

But, I want those chocolates! He thought loudly.

No. Not for you. These are for those dirty whores trying to get into Yuki's pants.

He couldn't hold back the laugh. The others stared at us in confusion. I shrugged. "The chocolates…" I held them up…Then an idea came to mind. "Kyo, these are for you."

He had a questioning look on his face but took the candies. "What are these for?"

I don't think he knows what today is…

I giggled. Doubt it; he wouldn't be here if he did…

I ignored his question and turned back to Yuki.

"Fine, don't answer me then." He turned on his heel and walked away.

Niiro chuckled and stepped up towards Uo and Hana. He had a slight blush on his cheeks as he pulled out a red and white wrapped candy bag, handing it to Uo. "Uh…this is for...you."

"Huh…oh, well…thank you, Niiro." The same blush reddened Uo's cheeks.

I snuck a quick kiss, pressing my lips to Yuki's. "It seems our little Nii-Nii has a crush." I giggled. What about Hana?

"Oh yeah…" He pulled out another wrapped candy and handed it to Hana. "I wish you both a wonderful holiday." He also gave Tohru one before walking back over to me.

"Kat…I have your present back at the house. I didn't expect you two to come today." Yuki sighed.

"When are we not stalking you?" Niiro chuckled.

"…True…"

Niiro's eyes met mine and he nodded. "Well, we should leave now. We must get back before Kana realizes we are gone."

I frowned. I was very tempted to kidnap Yuki to an empty classroom and have my way with him…but I guess Niiro was right.

Niiro shuttered. "The images…" He hissed. I rolled my eyes, kissing Yuki again.

"I'll talk to you guys later…" Just as I was about to walk away, a few females turned the corner. As soon as they saw Yuki, they swooned.

"Ohmygosh, its Prince Yuki."

"He's so wonderful."

"So beautiful."

I glared at the girls. "You know what; I think I should stay…Protect 'Prince Yuki' for the evil dragon whores, if you know what I mean…"

This caused all of the others to laugh; I couldn't see why…I was serious about this. They're just evil cunts, and all they want is to get into his pants.

Hana grabbed Tohru's hand, dragging her away. "We have to get to class. Goodbye Yuki, Niiro, Kat…You comin', Uo?

She nodded. "In a minute…"

Hana nodded and dragged Tohru towards their class. We waved goodbye, me never moving my glare away from the gushing females.

Kat, stop sending death glares to them. They didn't do anything. Yuki thought.

"Not yet…But remember I'll be here under a minute to kick some slutty ass, if need be." I gently kissed Yuki again and winked. "We'll be over at Shigure's by the time school gets out…maybe."

Niiro shook his head. "No…but we will be there tonight."

"Fine…" I pressed my lips to Yuki's once more before waving goodbye. I turned to pull my brother away just as he received a kiss from Uo. It was a simple check peck, but it was still cute.

"Thank you again, for the present." They were both blushing right now.

"So cute…"

We weren't able to actually leave for another twenty minutes. As soon as we started to walk away, one of the girls began to make a move. It seemed we had a problem, so I had to put her in her place…some butt was kicked. We had to sneak out before we were caught. I mean, hey, I still wanted to go to this school next year.

But now, my hand was hurting a lot more than it had earlier.

"Where are we going?" I asked. We were almost to the Sohma main house, which was strange.

"Hatori. We have to talk to him, and you have to get that hand checked out."

"I…how did you know?"

He chuckled. "I'm your twin, how could I not know?"

We snuck onto the property and into Hatori's office. That's where we were waiting when he and Momiji walked through the door.

"Katsune!"

"Momiji!"

He jumped at me, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Why are you guys here?

Niiro ignored Momiji and turned to Hatori who simply stared at us. "Haa-san, can you check out her hand? It's been bothering her."

"No it hasn't, don't blow things out of proportion…"

He glared at me, "Kat, I can hear what you are thinking. I am not blowing things out of proportion, I know how you feel."

Hatori nodded. He walked over to me and gently grabbed my right hand. "Is it this one?" I could only nod. He felt around, asking if any of it hurt. It all did. "Something might be broken, what exactly happened?"

I opened my mouth but found that I couldn't reply. Niiro sighed and began explaining. As he spoke, I was shocked, how could I not remember this?

"She and I were at Kana's…Kat and Kana got into a little spat and fists were thrown."

"How little was this spat?"

"We were kicked out of her room, there was blood everywhere…The hand was mostly because Kat kept punching Kana in the face."

I stared up at Niiro in shock. This didn't happen…Did it? Why don't I remember it?

"Wow; that sounds intense…" Momiji mumbled. "What started it?"

"I think they were fighting about Yuki."

I clenched my hands into fists, then immediately regretted it. "Why don't I remember this?"

Hatori sighed. "The brain has a way of blocking harmful memories."

And if that doesn't work, people come to Hatori. Niiro shook his head.

Hatori opened his work bag and dug around for some bandages. "I can do a few tests, but I'm almost certain something is broken. I can get you a hard cast but I'll have to wrap it up until then…You'll have to keep it in a sling for a few months." He went on about how to take care of my hand now that it'll be in a soft, and soon to be hard, cast. Take care while showering, no strenuous activities…yada-yada-yada. "The more permanent cast won't be off until you start back at the high school."

"Well…this just means while you and Yuki won't really have any real romance time."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

We spent some more time at Hatori's office, Niiro talking to Haa while Momiji told me all about his week. Hatori made sure to give Niiro my pain medication rather than myself, knowing that I might 'forget' and not take it. Niiro and I left soon after, heading straight to Shigure's place. As we were a few blocks away, I removed the sling from around my neck and stuffed it into my jacket pocket.

"Hatori said-"

"Don't care. The damn thing is uncomfortable."

"It's going to get a lot worse when it comes time to put on the actual hard cast."

I groaned. It was annoying and painful already!

We were almost at Shigure's and we were able to hear everyone's thoughts. I chuckled when I heard Kagura. It wasn't exactly a surprise that she was here, both Niiro and I had expected that she would want to give Kyo a present or something. I kinda didn't want to go inside now, Kagura sorta scared me.

Niiro nodded to me, "I'll make sure Kagura isn't causing a fuss before you go inside...Things do get a tad carried away when you two are in the same room...Her and Rin. "

"Ugh, Rin…"

Not to mention, Rin and Kagura in the same room as you.

I shuttered, "That would be horrible. Too much estrogen."

I felt strange simply standing outside so I climbed up and laid on a lower branch. Niiro shook his head at me. "So strange." He knocked and was let inside by Shigure. He met my gaze and nodded. Kagura?

I nodded in return. For some strange reason, I was unable to get along with any of the female Sohma's...Except Kisa! She was a cute and wonderful little girl. I leaned closer to the house, hoping to eavesdrop. I should have just minded my own business. I could see through Niiro's eyes and thoughts exactly what was happening.

"Hey, Kagura, what are you doing here?" Niiro chuckled, knowing obviously. He sat down next to Yuki and grinned.

Kagura jumped. "That's right!" She turned to Kyo and smiled. "I came to ask if Kyo would like to go somewhere with me tomorrow, so I can give him my chocolates on that special day."

Kyo twitched. "What the-"

Tohru walked in and I found myself unconsciously growl. "Oh, you mean like a date?"

Kagura blushed. "Huh? Oh...oh no...Tohru-kun…! You say it so bluntly, it's embarrassing."

"You're kidding me, no way." Kyo groaned.

"You'll do it!"

Even I flinched from where I sat. Dammit, Kagura.

"I said no! Why would I do something like that with someone like you?"

"That's...so cruel." Tears sprang to her eyes. "You could at least...be a little nicer."

Kyo fell to his knees. "Ugh, don't cry…."

I laughed. Kagura did more than simply scare the innocent.

"ugh! I can't watch any longer. If you must make out, please do it elsewhere." Shigure waved a hand.

Kagura looked up at Kyo in hope. "Why don't we do this...? We'll invite Yun-chan and Tohru-kun and make it a double date!"

My eye twitched. Excuse me...? I moved to jump off the branch to run inside, but slipped. My foot got caught on some leaves and sticks making me hang down from the tree upside-down.

"Oh, that would be great! Sounds like fun!" Shigure chuckled. "Except for the fact that our little Yun-Yun is taken."

I could see Kagura jump in surprise. "Oh really? Yun-Yun has finally found someone?"

"In fact, it's Kat." Niiro grinned. "She's actually right outside."

I started struggling, the blood was rushing to my head and it was getting harder to breathe. Niiro took the lead and led everyone out to the front of the house. His eyes widened when he noticed the mess I was in.

I waved at them. "Hey, guys...What's up?"

Niiro stared at me in concussion. "How did this happen?"

"It was very simple, this tree doesn't like me."

Niiro walked over to assist me, Yuki right behind him. Niiro reached the tree first and was quickly able to untie the braches from around my ankle. Yuki was able to catch me before I hit the ground.

"So...what did I miss?" I grinned, a blush covering my cheeks.
