Sweetyb: what I haven't been gone THAT long (glass bottle randomly comes from nowhere hitting head and breaking)
Kyo: I think someone begs to differ
Sweetyb: ok I'm sorry my poor fans for taking, what 3 days to write the next chapter. Now stop throwing things t me. (Lets a mock sob)
Yuki: (throws another bottle)
Sweetyb: what was that for?
Yuki: that was because I felt like it (runs away fast as Sweety starts to chase him)
Kyo: well while those to are acting stupid how about you all read the damn story
(Kyo's POV)
I ran until my lungs felt like they were going to give out. No matter how fast I ran I still couldn't run from the memory of the rat. I still could feel how his lips had felt on mine. That damn rat, why had he been kissing me in the first place. He spends all his time making fun of me and making me mad, and then he turns around and does this. God I should have know, judging form what happened this morning in the hallway. No this cannot be happening to me, it just can't. The rat and the cat are not meant to like each other, were enemies. Why did that stupid rat have to decide now of all times to decide he has feelings for me? Even more so why couldn't he have kept his stupid feelings to his own goddamn self.
Yuki is trying to mess with me, that's it. This is one of his stupid pranks, something to get to me. He's trying to fool me in to thinking he likes me, and then when I do his going to turn around and laugh at me. No, I've spent to many years being the butt of the family; I wouldn't let him do this to me.
My chest aches from running for so long, my legs only barley seemed to carry me. What had started out as rain had now turned in to snow. The snow whirling around me turned everything in to nothingness. I would catch glimpses of brown through he curtain of endless white.
God I wasn't dressed for this weather. I had been so angry this morning that I had forgotten to bring a jacket. Why is it that the moment you fail to do something is the exact moment you wish you had the most? My fingers were starting to ach from the cold; I tried shoving them in my jean pockets but that only barely helped. The wind and snow slapped against my face, soon making it sting. Because of the earlier ran, I was close were soaked through so that they now started to freeze to my skin. I pulled my face down in to my chest trying to keep the wind from face. With all the snow I couldn't tell which way I was going, or weather I was heading in the right direction.
Now that I was freezing my ass of, I now wished that I hadn't ran from that damn rat. At least if he was here I could have blackmailed him in to giving me his jacket. The sound of the wind was so deafening that the only thing I could hear was the steady crunch of my feet on the snow. I had to keep scrunching up my toes, trying to keep circulation to them. With every step the temperature seemed to drop that much more. My hair kept blowing around, whipping back and forth in my face. No matter how many times I pushed it back, it would soon be right back in my face. I eventually gave up on it; I was walking blind anyway so it wasn't like it was really making a difference.
I don't think I can make it any further; my body was slowly giving up on me. I now could barely even walk. God I'm going to die out here and its all that rat's fault. It's his fault for running in to me, and it's his fault for kissing me and making me run even further into this icy hell. I finally came to what seemed to be a clearing; I slowly lowered my self down next to a tree at the edge of it. I propped my body so that my back was up against the tree. I pulled my legs tight up against me chest, rapping my arms around them. I pulled my face in to my chest and rested my forehead on the top of my knees. I was kept awake by the cold stinging my skin, but that soon began to fade until it was bearable aching numbness. Soon I couldn't feel any thing, I know that say not to fall asleep in the snow but it was now hard not to. I fought my eyelids to stay open, but I soon lost the fight as my eyelids slowly closed. I didn't automatically fall asleep; no I slowly drifted in to it. My life didn't flash or anything, instead I went over it in my head. The curse, my family, me being the cat, the way my life went, Honda-san, Yuki, the kiss all of these things ran through my head. As the cold blanketed my mind, all these things soon ceased to matter any more. Well all except two yuki and the kiss, the confusion of the whole event. The last thing I remembered before everything was swallowed by black was a single thought that rang true in my head. I've spent all this time fighting with the rat, and I never really hated him at all, how stupid of me. I fell in to the darkness laughing at myself.
(Yuki's POV)
I watched as the cat went running from me until the rain blurred his form and he disappeared. I sat there awhile still stunned from being shoved away. God I'm such an idiot, why had I kissed him. One moment I'm looking down on his sleeping form the next I'm in his arms. The thing that scares me the most is that I didn't was to get free. I wasn't thinking about anything but him. I'm usually more thoughtful of my actions, of the consequences of them. When I was kissing him I wasn't thinking of our past, of the stupid curse, or the fact that he's the cat and I'm the rat. In those moments none of that mattered. We have been raised to hate each other, but why should we hate someone just because someone else says we should. That's stupid. I have spent my whole life trying to live up to the expectations of everyone in the family. I know see why Akito always says that we're so pathetic, we spend most of our lives trying to please everyone else. I've always said that I was one of the smarter zodiac members, but now I see that I was blind to my own stupidity.
I was pulled from my thoughts by a sudden gust of wind. Caught up in my thoughts I didn't notice that I had been stroking my lips, as if to reassure my self that the lips the ct had kissed had really been mine. I also hadn't noticed that it was now snowing. The flakes came down like the rain before it, in a fast pour of gleaming white. I hadn't notice that I had stated to cry either, not until another gust of wind swept across my face
Why, why was I crying? It couldn't be over that stupid cat. No, the wind was just making my eyes water. That had to be it.
Liar, you don't really believe thatcame a mocking, sing-songy voice
Yes I doI protested to the voice.
No you don't
Then why am I crying then?
Because you care for the cat, but your hurt that he pushed you away like that. You hate the fact that you're both expected to hate each other, and because of that you think there's no hope for the two of you, and that hurts too.
Who the hell are you that you know so much?
Why I'm you, or rather I'm the part of you that knows what you want and who you can't lie to because I already know how it is.
No you don't, I don't give a flying fuck about that stupid cat
You're lying to your self again, but ok if you don't care about the cat how about you get your ass up and head home. Leave the cat out here to freeze to death.
I couldn't do that
Why not?
Um… because I just… I just can't, ok
Ok, I'm just saying
Well don't, because I don't need your stupid advice. I know what the hell I'm feeling
If you say so
I do, now go the hell away; you're giving me a headache
I didn't get a response after that, it looked like he left or at any rate decided to leave me alone. The stupid voice didn't know what he was talking about. I mean I may not hate the cat but that didn't mean I loved him either. I pulled my self to my feet and started down the trail in search of the cat. I pushed my hands in to my coat pockets, trying to cover as much as my body as my coat would allow me. Even with the hood over my head and the jacket zipped all the way up, the wind still cut through me as if the coat wasn't even there. I huddled in my coat, the wind blowing in my face for the most part forcing me to keep my head down.
"Kyo, Kyo where are you? Damn you stupid cat its cold, come out." I called out. I kept calling out his name, but not once did he ever call back to me.
As I pushed my self through the snow, I couldn't keep the worried thoughts from my head.
I don't know why but I had to find him, I just had to, and with that thought driving me I went running in to the storm.
Sweetyb: that was greatYuki: why did you make me sound so desperate?
Kyo: why did you make me sound like such a pussy, no damn snow could beat me
Sweeetyb: I did not, and kyo stop acting like a baby, collapsing in he snow does not make you any less of a man
Yuki: bitch
Kyo: whore
Sweetyb: enough with calling me names, before I bring Akito in to kick both your asses. Now fans I would love it if you sent a review. 5th coming so soon. Kk
