(Yuki's POV)What did that stupid cat just do? He just got Mellissa kicked out of her appartment. Not to mention any chance she had of getting back in there. But from what that idiot just said, the landlord was forcing his son on Mellissa. I should have done what he did. All I did was stand there and listen to her suffer at the landlords hand. I cast the cat a scathing glance, but he seemed preoccupied. Thinking even! What could a cat think about?(Kyo's POV)I needed to get ahold of Hatori. If any part of my plan was going to work, he would be the main problem. Next to Akito of course. Mellissa might be able to stay at Shigure's house, but only if we were careful. If Akito was mad about Tohru, he'd be exploding about Mellissa. Just how long we could keep a secret from Akito was anyone's guess. He wouldn't hurt Mellissa though."Over my dead body," I growled under my breath to myself.Mellissa was just standing there. I didn't know how to get started along the right path to keeping her secret from Akito. All I could do was hope that Hatori was on our side. He would be the only problem if he wasn't. Guess it was time to find out how far I was willing to go for this girl."Mellissa?" I breathed quietly. She looked at me with wide innocent eyes."Come with me. We're going to go find you a better, and cheaper, place to live."She followed obediently after that damn rat shot a quick glance between us. What did he think I was going to do? Just leave her on the streets? No. That would never happen.(Mellissa's POV)What was I doing? I shouldn't be putting him through all of this. He had just got me out of the worst home I had ever been in, and now he was trying to help me find another place to live. No! If this was the trouble I was going to cause for him, then he was better off if I just left."Kyo? Thank you so much for getting me out of that place. But I don't want to put you through finding me somewhere else to live on my wages," I said as politely as possible. All I could do was hope he understand that I appreciated everything he had done for me.(Kyo's POV)Was she insane?"Mellissa. I want to do this. And unless you don't want me helping you finding somewhere to live, I'm going to find you somewhere to stay. It's not like it's bothering me. I'm doing it because I want to. Okay?"She stood there for a moment then nodded and started crying. Dammit! I'd gone and made her cry. Why was I so damn stupid?!"Kyo...Thank you so much. You don't know how much this means," she choked out.Wait. She was crying because she was happy?! I would never understand girls.After she cried for a few minutes, I took out my phone and started dialing Hatori's number. After a few rings..."Hello?" Hatori's flat voice came over the phone."Hatori. It's Kyo. Listen, can you keep a secret.""Are you kidding?" "No dammit, I'm not kidding.""Yes I can.""Even from Akito?""You know as well as I that nearly nothing can escape Akito.""Well either you can or you can't!""It may be possible. Can it help the curse?""It might. It's at least worth a shot.""Whatever can free us from this curse I'll be able to hold back. At least for the time being. What is so important that it needs to be kept secret from Akito?""Alright. Remember the girl who came over, Mellissa?""Yes. And no, to what you are going to say. The only way we could keep that secret from Akito would be if she could break the curse. We couldn't even keep Tohru from him.""I know dammit! Just listen. She is the most proabable bet. I'll explain later. But she needs a place to stay and I was thinking of Shigure's.""I'll keep a secret for now. You will explain later. If it's not to my liking, then she has ten days to get out or I may not be able to hold my tongue.""Alright dammit! I'll call you at seven and explain."Click

"Okay Mellissa. You and I are going to pick up your things after to school and set you up at Shigure's. If that's good enough?" I asked as nicely and quietly as I could.She just nodded, wide eyed."YOU STUPID CAT! YOU HAVE A LOT TO EXPLAIN!"Great the damn rat was going to interrogate me as well."Like I have to explain everything that I do to you!"I sped down the hallway with the rat on my tail. Guess I would have to tell him everything if I wanted any peace."Dammit! She's it! The curse breaker! Did it not break through that all-so worshipped brain of yours that I didn't change when she fell on me?!"And after all of his damn following and pestering me, he just stood there, opened-mouthed.
