Author Speak:…I keep for getting to put this up, but I own nuttin'! I mean nuttin'! No Kyou, no Yuki, No Tohru, no Momiji, no random dude walking down the street…nuttin…I probably don't even own this Ramen I'm eating….-takes box of treats from PanPan- Thank you very much!! Oh, and I just can't believe the demand for more chappies…wow!! sumisweet, can it be dark blue and black? I love those colors so I got my hair done that way!
Oh, and chappie takes place a day after are last chapter..I like leaving you guys at moments like those..-sighs deeply but happily- Okay, so I promise.. HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPPIE!
Tohru moved swiftly through the Shigure's house. Amazingly, she hadn't tripped over something once today. Fate must've on her side, until she saw Kyou.
She stopped immediately and dropped the load of laundry she had in her hands. Kyou was lying on the floor staring up at the ceiling. He didn't blink once, and his wrist was worst then before. "Oh my!" She gasped and ran over to him. "Kyou-kun! Are you okay?" She asked nudging him and tears came to her eyes when he didn't budge. "Kyou-kun!" She almost screamed after a few moments of silence.
Kyou finally closed his eyes, then turned his head to look at Tohru. "Hey…." He said, then went back to staring at the ceiling. Okay, so staring at the ceiling wasn't health, or in fact good for your mental state.
"Kyou-kun, what's wrong?" Tohru asked and went to get some ice for his wrist again. She came back a short while after and put the ice pack on his wrist. "Did you have a fight with Shoma-kun?" Kyou grimaced at his name. "Yeah, I had to give that damn rat another piece of my fucking mind." He said with no regard to the youthful ears of Tohru.
Tohru sighed relived that it was only a fight with Yuki, even though that wasn't really good either. Just then, Momiji came bouncing in. "Hello Honda-san!" He said smiling and bounding over to her. "Hey You-kun….why…" He stopped seeing the state Kyou was in.
Leaning down, he poked Kyou in the chest. Fate must have hated Kyou for some odd reason, and Kyou jumped up wincing. "Don't poke me you damn kid!" He yelled and exited the room, leaving Tohru and Momiji blinking in puzzlement.
Twitch, twitch. Yuki's hand twitched as he sat there holding a pencil and tried to listen to the Sensei, but it was getting hopeless. Oh why did he have to go to college? He sighed and put the pencil down.
Ignoring the Sensei, what was unlike him, he looked out the window, which he was siting next to. It was raining hard and he would have to walk home in the rain soon.
Just then, a orange cat jumped up onto the outside windowpane. Its body was soaked to the core. Orange eyes looked at Yuki as they stared back and forth at each other. Was that Kyou? No, the idiot wouldn't be outside during the rain, he hated it practically.
Moving his gaze from the cat, he looked at the sensei that was looking at him. "Is there something wrong Mr. Shoma?" The sensei asked and Yuki shook his head. "Just the rain….sorry…" He said and tried to concentrate on the rest of the lesson.
After the class was over, Yuki started to walk home in the rain. His silver hair was getting soaked along with his gray university uniform. Sighing deeply he decided to stop by the park, in the rain, near some trees.
The orange cat that he had seen earlier, was once again there. It stared intensely at Yuki almost like it was mad at him. Yuki stared back at the cat, and now his mind was set that the cat was Kyou. 'Kyou…?" He said approaching the cat.
Kyou lifted his head to look at Yuki and hissed. He was very angry now, after the new bruises and Momiji poking him. As he came closer, Kyou's claws retracted and got ready to scratch up his face.
Yuki was now towering over Kyou. "I guess you got caught in the rain and turned into your cat form." He some how felt sorry for him, then again he felt angry at him for disturbing his lesson. "….." He didn't reply so Yuki got on his knees and placed his hand on Kyou's forehead. "You have a fever you baka neko." Kyou hissed and lifted up his paw to scratch Yuki's hand away, but before he did, Yuki swept Kyou up into his arms.
"What the hell are you doing?" Kyou hissed trying to free himself from Yuki's grasp. "You'll kill yourself if you stay outside like this. And what do you think will happen when the rain stops and you turn back to your human form?" Kyou hadn't thought of that. He stopped struggling and nestled up in Yuki's arms.
Reaching his apartment. Yuki unlocked the door and placed Kyou in a chair. "Stay." He said as if talking to a dog and disappeared into another room. Kyou mumbled something under his breath and sat down in the chair.
The apartment had seemed different the last time he had been here. Oh yes, the sofa was now gone. He snickered at the thought of Yuki getting germphobic and throwing the sofa away. Yuki then reentered with a towel in his hand.
Picking Kyou up, Yuki sat him down on his lap and started to dry his fur. Kyou shook underneath his hands getting water all over the place. "I'm drying you, you baka. You don't need to try to get the water off yourself." Yuki said after his shirt was completely wet. "Does it matter!? You were already wet and you didn't need to dry me ya' know!" Kyou hissed and stopped shaking.
After Kyou was done being dried, he disappeared into the kitchen. Yuki pondered at the thought of why Kyou hadn't turned back to normal yet. Then a thought popped into his head. "He still has a fever." Putting the towel down on the chair, he went into hi bedroom to change his clothes before he got a fever as well.
Kyou jumped onto the kitchen counter and tried to open the ffridge door. "Damn it!" He cried falling off the counter once again when he tried to open the door. "Damn you rat!" He said and exited the kitchen after twelve attempts of failure.
When Kyou reached the living room area, Yuki was siting on the brand new sofa, reading a book. He looked content and intrigued by the book. Kyou couldn't help jumping onto the arm of the sofa then slipping off when he sneezed. Yuki closed his book and turned his head to look at Kyou. "What are you doing neko?" He questioned with puzzlement.
"Nothing that would concern you." Kyou replied mumbling then standing back up. When he stood up this time, his head felt dizzy and he kept seeing spots. Walking forward, he found himself loosing his balance and his head aching. "Ouch.' He said as his head ached even more.
Finally, after a few tries of walking in straight line, Kyou fell to the floor and closed his eyes. Yuki gasped and got up. Picking Kyou up, he felt his forehead again. "his head's very hot." He said and then sat back down on the sofa. Clutching Kyou in a hug he allowed the cat to bury his head into his shirt.
Kyou made no sounds, except when he moved his head or another part of his body to get comfortable. His head hurt, it burned like hell and all he wanted to do was nestle up close to Yuki and know that someone was there holding him and protecting him.
"Yuki…" Kyou said lifting his head and opening his eyes a little. "Yes?" He heard Yuki replay and felt one of Yuki's hands stroke his head. "Can I just sleep here for a little while?" He asked and before he got an answer, he fell into a deep slumber.
