Chapter 9
"Hey, Kyo." I mumbled into the couch pillow while he stretched his thin orange legs. "How do you turn back into your normal form?"
"Well," the orange cat sat in a sitting position. "Since you've stopped hugging me, the time limit is different each time. I might change back now, or in ten minutes. But the only bad thing about this is that we change back-"
A poof of smoke blocked the room, interrupting him. "K-Kyo?" I looked for the orange cat. It shouldn't be that hard to find him since he's a neon colour. But thinking about it, where did all this smoke come from?
"-naked." I heard Kyo say from within the smoke.
"What do you mean naked?" I questioned him.
"We change back with no clothes on." He said as the smoke cleared, showing him with literally no clothes on. No clothes!
"Kyaa!" I shrieked, turning around while hiding my blush. "K-Kyo! Put some clothes on!"
"Hang on!" I heard him run out the room. There was shuffling, a loud bang, cursing and then more shuffling before I heard his feet pad on the hardwood floor across the room. "I'm decent now, Tohru."
"I didn't see it!" I screamed.
"See wha- Ah, don't worry about it." He sighed, scratching his head.
"Whew!" I sighed. "Wait! I don't get what just happened!"
"What?" He looked at me with questioning look before sighing himself. "I turned back naked-"
"No!" I waved my hands around as I felt my blush coming back. "Kisa told me that the zodiacs change back with their clothes on! How come you changed back without your clothes on!"
"Once you reach past the age of twelve, you stop turning back with your clothes on." He explained.
"So Kisa and Hiro are younger than twelve, meaning they turn back with clothes on." I said out-loud. That makes sense I suppose, but it's still wierd.
"Hey, we'll be going tomorrow morning." Kyo suddenly said.
"Already? Why so soon?" I whispered.
"Reko could come back at any time, so I don't want to risk your safety." He said.
"But what about Kisa and Hiro? What if he comes back for them!" I cried.
"Thats why their coming with us. We'll find them a place to live in the next town." He patted my head.
"I wonder if we can find any more of the zodiacs for them to stay with." I said, standing up.
"I suppose. Now we need to get you back into bed." He started to steer me back to my room.
"Hey, wait! I'm fine Kyo!" I moaned. "I don't need any more rest!"
"Tohru, you do need some rest. Your joints must be sore from the amount of electricity that went through you. Its a miracle that your still alive!" Kisa popped her head around the door.
"Yeah, come on back to bed Tohru. We'll bring you food and drink when you wake up." Hiro said from behind the tigeress.
"Ok," I shuffled back into the room and under the bed covers. "But make sure that you don't leave without me in the morning!"
"I'm not that dull, Tohru. How could I forget about the wierd winged girl?" Kyo said sarcasticly, causing Hiro to chuckle.
I smiled, turning over. "See you later," a yawn stretched out the last word before I closed my eyes.
"It seems that the girl is in the house still. Where is the seeker I sent half an hour ago!" I asked the archer below me.
"C-Commander Reko!" He saluted me. "The seeker is on his way back right now."
"Well get him here quicker! Go!" I shooed him away. Since Majo prepared the special equipment for me, I shouldn't have any trouble in kidnapping the girl. I looked out from the top of the branch in the tall tree that I was currently standing in, looking out for the archer and seeker.
"Sir! Sir, the seeker is here!" The archer said from below, huffing and sweating.
A young man in black suddenly appeared behind the archer. He looked like some sort of ninja, with the way he had his face covered and the clusters of shuriken around his waist. "What is your report?" I asked the seeker.
"Commander Reko, I have found out that the four of them will be leaving in the morning towards the next town. I could follow them if you would like to see if they actually do stop in the next town or make any stops on the way, sir?" The seeker said.
"Good idea seeker, you set out after them in the morning." I gave him a nod before he jumped back, vanishing into thin air. "A real ninja, huh?"
"Sir, the winged girl is currently asleep." The sword's commander, Ken told me as I hopped down from the branch.
"Ken, I want you to test out the orange headed boy to see if he can wield a sword. Do this when you have a chance when we attack next."
"Gladly," he smirked.
