Ch 10

"Phyore this is…"

"KYO!" you wrapped your arms around his neck. He went stiff. When you noticed this you let go of him. You looked in his eyes. It was defiantly the same Kyo. "Don't you remember me?"

"Um not really." he said looking at you questionably.

"When we were little I fell and scraped my knee. You helped me with it. Then form then on we would always go to the park."

"Phi?"

"Yep."

"Jeez! I didn't recognize you!" he said sounding surprised.

"Um… Wait so you two know each other?" asked Tohru. And Yuki looking questionably.

"Ya." you said.

"So you know him. Do you know any of the other Sohmas?" asked Yuki.

"Um well I know Akito. Oh and Hatori. That's about it. My mom was a personal maid for Akito. So she wouldn't let me interact with the Sohma's. She didn't know that I knew Kyo though."

"So why are you back now? Where's Susannah? And what did you do to your leg now?" Kyo asked as if he was an older brother or something. You looked down.

"Phi? What happened?" Kyo now sounding serious.

"One knight me and mom were driving home from the mall. Then a drunk driver ran into us. I yelled "MOM!" Then when she noticed the car coming towards us she shielded me…" you said quietly but loud enough for them to hear you.

"Then what?"

"The car hit us. Mom died. And all that happened to me was a broken leg and some cuts and bruises."

"Jeez! I'm so sorry Phi." He said embracing you in a hug.

Then poof. When the smoke cleared you noticed you were holding Kyo in his cat form. "Aw man!"

"Wait why did he just transform? He didn't when you hugged him earlier." said Tohru. "That's because I was thinking about my mom. See…she isn't a Sohma. So I'm not fully a Sohma. So sometimes the Sohma's that have the curse transform" you said.

"Which reminds me, Kyo, do you still.." POOF When some of the smoke cleared you saw Kyo's chest. You quickly turned around because not wanting to see more. "Ok. Never mind."

A few hours later

You and Tohru finished unpacking your things. You two also talked and started to get to know each other. Which in getting to know her Tohru wasn't all that bad. She was a bit too cheerful. Kinda annoying, but not too bad. You knew worse people than her. Once done unpacking Tohru looked at the clock.

"Oh I better get dinner going."

"Can I help?"

"Um ya sure." she said getting up and heading towards the door.

Once you maid it down stairs Shigure came over to you. "Everything settled?"

"Yes. And Thank you very much for letting me stay here."

"No problem."

"Is Tohru in the kitchen?"

"Ya. At least I think she is."

"Ok Thanks."

In the kitchen you asked Tohru what was for dinner.

"Rice cakes, leeks, and Salmon."

"Oh. I never had it before, but ma always said, "You should be open to try new things," So what do you want me to do?" you asked, heading toward her.

"Um you can start making the rice cakes. I'll show you how to make them." She said getting a handful of rice.

At dinner

After helping with what you could dinner was served. The rice cakes were good. The leeks you didn't really like. And the Salmon you didn't really care for, but liked it more than the leeks.

You sat by Kyo. Tohru sat by Yuki. And Shigure sat by Momiji. Later you found out that Kyo hated leeks and absolutely loved fish. Actually fish was his favorite food. Everyone kept asking about living in the States.

"So Phyore what kind of food is in the States?" asked Tohru.

"There's all kinds. Most of the food is from other countries. Like my favorite, Pizza, it comes from Italy. I could make it for you sometime."

"Ok." said Tohru

"Ya!" said Momiji, getting all excited to have something else.

"Sure" said Yuki. Kyo just looked at you like he was amazed that you would be able to cook anything. And Shigure didn't say anything.

"I'll make it on Friday. So Tohru you'll have the day off from cooking." You both started to laugh after that comment. Tohru looked at the clock.

"Oh I have to go to work. Bye."

"See ya." you said.

"Bye. Have a good time at work." said Shigure.

"I'll be there to pick you up. After work."

"I'm coming with you Tohru! Dad told me he wanted to see me."

"All right come on, Momiji."

A few minutes after Tohru left Kyo looked at you. Then he stood up.

"Come on Phi." he said offering his hand. Taking his hand he helped you up.

"Where are we going?"

"For a walk. I want to show you something."

"Oh. OK."
