Chapter 4: Thoughts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                Tohru couldn't sleep. Something had been very wrong ever since she came back from shopping. Yuki went out just before dinner with out saying why or where he was going…Shigure wouldn't stop laughing throughout the night…Kyo was unusually calm and he looked very…distant…he had been so happy last night…'I'd better go check on him,' she thought as she climbed out of bed. When she peeked into Kyo's room, she was surprised that he was in his bed. ' He usually is on the roof…' She crept up to his bedside, paused, took a deep breath, and then gently shook his shoulder. 'I just have to know if something's wrong…'

                "Mmm…wha?" Yuki slowly opened his eyes to focus on whatever was shaking him.

"T-tohru?" he sat up, a little shocked. 'Why is she in Kyo's room so late at night?'

                "Umm…Kyo…What happened while I was out shopping? You seemed so happy last night when you left my room…"

                'Last night? Her room!?'

                "Are you not feeling well…can I do anything to help?"

                "I'm feeling fine…" 'Exactly what happened last night!?' Yuki fought to keep his temper as many different ideas of what could have happened passed through his mind. He shut his eyes tight—as he began to feel a sickness come through him as well as fury. All his thoughts screamed to a halt and his eyes shot open when he felt lips being put against his.

                Tohru broke the kiss and said, "Please…let me know if there is anything I can do to help…" she stood up and headed for her room. 'Whatever is wrong…is causing him to act so strange…I hope he'll let me help…and I hope it isn't because of me…could Akito have told them to erase my memory…?' she froze as she thought about that possibility…then continued climbing into her bed. "I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions so soon…It's way too early for that" She began to drift off as she thought about what could be troubling the household.

                As soon as Tohru had shut the door, Yuki's mind began to race. 'Wh-what just happened? Did she really just kiss me?…No…she just kissed Kyo…When the hell did that—that cat get so close to Tohru!? Did they…?' Yuki let out a yell out into his pillow as tears began to flow… 'Does this mean I have no chance…of Tohru liking me…?' Yuki felt like he wanted to pound that damn neko into the ground till he couldn't move or speak…but that wouldn't do him any good since they were in each others bodies…but suddenly, an idea struck him… 'What if I could get her to hate Kyo…would she then turn to me?' Yuki continued to think about this concept until he fell asleep.

                Kyo just couldn't find sleep. His anger high, his stomach growling, his heart aching…how could he have a good nights rest? Even looking at the moon and stars didn't calm his nerves. Suddenly, a tingling feeling went up his spine that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. 'It just felt like some pretty nasty thoughts were directed towards me…' he thought as he sat up, listening to see if they were being verbally spoken somewhere in the house. He normally only felt those kind of vibes went he got Yuki REALLY ticked at him…*gasp* "Could Tohru…!?" 'Great...' He was so dead…'Yuki will find a way to show me his disapproval if he's found out…' he laid back down as he thought about ways to prevent whatever Yuki would try to pull…

                "Thank y-*click* ou…" 'Damn…why does Hatori always have to hang up on me?' Shigure hung up the phone (ignoring the strong urge to call him back, just to annoy) and headed up stairs.  'It's a good thing their school had let out for spring break…That gives us a little time to figure out what the cause of this is…' He had told Hatori everything that he knew about the two boys having their bodies switched. He had been skeptical… and he had hung up on him several times, but he finally got him to say that he would be here just after breakfast tomorrow morning. Shigure laid down on his bed as he pondered about the cause of the switch.

                "Kyo kun, Kyo kun, Kyo kun…"sang a happy little girl as she packed her little cat backpack. Tomorrow she would drop by to see him just before breakfast…She hadn't seen him for weeks… "I can't wait!" she squealed with glee at the thought of getting to be able to spend a whole day with him since they were on their spring break too. When she finished packing, she set her backpack by her bed then crawled in under her covers. She drifted off thinking about what she would do with Kyo tomorrow.

(AN: So have I screwed up yet? If the story seems a little rushed…that's because I have absolutely no patience for dragging out something into three chapters (that would normally take only one) and I won't be able to work as much on this story after this week because I will be a slave to my grandmother's huge garden… x.x)
