Title: A fight to Remember Authors: Purrmeow and Krys Rating: R (the first few chapters won't seem like it.) Disclaimer: The characters in this story obviously do not belong to use, because if they did we would likely be rich and not be writing a fan fiction, which makes us no money. This story is currently being written in the format of RPing (role playing) between us, the two authors. To make the shifts in POV clearer, each reply will be a separate chapter labeled with the narrating character. This plot takes place just after where the TV series leaves off. *Note: ~ will be used to indicate flashbacks and * to indicate a shift to the POV of others characters, such as Tohru or Shigure.

Chapter nine: Kyou

Cousin, the woman that had dazzled his retinas for those few, brief moments had been his cousin. Hopes sinking deep below the floor, he tried to cheer himself; she had claimed to be his cousin, but the still felt as though there was something more he needed to know. However, it had been at that exact moment, that the petite brunette, who now hollered at his side, interrupted them.

Her voice pounded inside his eardrums over and over again, causing his head to throb and throb with each syllable that left her lips. It was nothing at all like the soft tone his now absent cousin had employed when he had first awoken. "Uruseina," The neko complained, hand cupping the bandage around his forehead while he winced in pain.

She seemed utterly shocked, and then screamed even louder, and right in his ear! One hand shot up, off his knee, and roughly pushed her away from his bedside. "Need I repeat myself? Your voice is really hurting my eardrums. Now could you please leave me be!" He roared back at her, he wanted more than anything to get the chance to speak to that woman alone; and although the sight of the teary shoujo at his side tweaked at his insides, he wanted to see no one else at the moment.
