"Chiisa! Where are you?" Kyou was woken up when the door opened and Ame
called out. "Chiisa?"
"She's not in here, get out!" He snarled, but Ame kept calling out softly. "Get out! We have school tomorrow, she's probably in your room!" Ame turned around once more, sighed and walked out into the hallway. Kyou got up *I might as well get a drink now I'm awake.* He thought. He walked out of the room to see Ame standing in the middle of the hall. "Oy! What are you doing?" He went around her and saw tears running down her face. "Come on, don't worry, Chiisa's probably fine."
"Chiisa?" Ame walked forward, not taking any notice of the stairs. She was nearly at the steps when Kyou realised why she was like that. *She's sleepwalking!* He grabbed her arm just before she fell down the stairs. She turned to look at him. Her eyes were bloodshot and there was a faraway look in them. "Chiisa? Why are you stopping me from getting her?" She started to struggle. "Let go! I have to get Chiisa!"
"Shhh!" Kyou whispered. "You'll wake the others!" He picked her up. *I'm glad I can do this. Anyone else and I'd be a cat by now.* She snuggled up to him and stopped thrashing. He shook his head and walked into her room and went to put her back into her bed.
"Don't go!" she uttered, grabbing Kyou around the neck. He sighed and got comfortable sitting up against the wall of her room, and wrapped them both up in her blanket. Just before he fell asleep a thought crossed his mind. *I just hope she doesn't wake up before me.*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Kyou woke up to the sun streaming on his face. He looked down to see Ame was still asleep in his arms. He gently stood up and put her back in her bed. She nestled into the blanket and he walked out of her room. Walking down the stairs he ran into Yuki.
"Watch where you're going, baka neko." snarled Yuki. Kyou scowled. He was too tired to put up with the stupid nezumi.
"I could say the same to you." Yuki scowled back and Kyou grinned. "I'll beat you this time nezumi. It may be early, but I'll still kick your arse!" Yuki smiled.
"You're on." They started fighting in the hallway until Kyou was thrown into the door of Ame's room. Ame woke and sat up quickly.
"What are you doing in my room!?" She yelled. She noticed Yuki. "Oh. Sorry, I didn't notice you. Now I understand. GET OUT!!" Kyou ran out of her room, just missed by a pillow. Ame got up and walked downstairs carrying her kitten.
"Ohayo Ame-kun!" Tohru called as Ame walked into the kitchen. "Would you like a cup of tea?" Ame shook her head and moved over to the kettle. She looked around, getting frustrated when she couldn't find what she was looking for.
"Where are my teabags?" She asked. Tohru blushed and pulled a box from out of a cupboard. Ame thanked her and handed Chiisa to Tohru. "Can you hold Chiisa for a sec? I need both my hands." Tohru nodded and took Chiisa. Ame made her tea and took the cat back. "Thanks." There was a crash from the next room. "Is it always this loud when those two are together?" The two girls walked into the dining room.
"Yeah, but you get used to it after a while." They walked over to the two boys. "Kyou-kun, are you alright? Your arms are all bandaged up!" Kyou huffed.
"Don't worry." He answered gruffly. "I'm fine, it was nothing." Ame snorted and let Chiisa go. She ran over to where Kyou was, who jumped out of the way. Chiisa kept going and went to check out Yuki. He bent down for her to sniff him, but she yowled and scratched his hand. Ame knelt down and picked her back up.
"Hmm, she doesn't like him either. That's weird." She looked up to see Tohru and Yuki looking at her oddly. "Oh, never mind. I'm going to get ready for school, I'll wake up Momiji while I'm there." With that, Ame walked off in a daze.
Kyou turned to Tohru. "Do you have my uniform?" She handed it to him. "Thanks." He walked off. Tohru looked at him walking upstairs and commented quietly.
"There's something on his mind." Yuki looked at her sceptically. "I wonder what it is. I wish he'd tell me things like that." She shrugged and turned to Yuki. "Oh well. Yuki-kun! You're hurt! Let me clean it, or it might get worse!" He sighed and let her clean it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Ame couldn't concentrate in class. "Sohma Ame! Pay attention!" She jerked out of her daydream when she heard the voice of her teacher, Mrs Saito. "You haven't heard one word I've said. You need to know this!" Ame nodded and mumbled an apology. As soon as Mrs Saito turned around, there was a letter slipped onto her desk.
'Hey, What's up, you've been off in the clouds all day. You'd better get over what it is, or you'll be in more trouble. Haru'
Ame smiled and wrote back. 'Don't worry. Hey, could you come over after school this afternoon? I want to see something.' She passed the note to the desk beside her. A few seconds later it came back to her. 'sure' was scribbled on the paper. Ame smiled again, and found it easier to concentrate. She was still worrying about Chiisa, but it was pushed to the back of her mind, it could be worried about after school. She started writing her work down quickly, hurrying to catch up to Mrs Saito.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
"So why did you want to see?" Haru was tapping his foot impatiently. Kyou went with Haru and Ame, so Haru was getting testy. Ame frowned at him.
"Hang on, you'll see soon. By the way, don't get into a fight you two. It's not my house, I'll get in trouble if you destroy it." She walked upstairs while the boys glared at each other. As she went to go into her room, Momiji poked his head out of his doorway.
"Are Kyou and Haru here?" he asked. Ame nodded and went into her room as he laughed loudly. "You'd better get back, who knows what will happen while you're not there to watch them." Ame walked out with Chiisa in her arms. "Are you going to try her out on Haru now?" A frown spread over Ame's face.
"Be quiet. I just wonder why she likes me but not The Cat. It doesn't make sense. If I have to try her out on every Jyuunishi, then I will." She huffed and walked downstairs. Momiji shook his head and went back into his room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
"OW! This is what you wanted me for!? A psycho cat!" Black Haru aimed a kick at Chiisa, but Ame got in the way. It was too late for him to stop, so he ended up kicking Ame.
"THAT'S IT!!" Ame walked over to Chiisa, picked her up, and pointed to Haru. "You are an inconsiderate prick! If I never talk to you it will be too soon." She turned to Kyou, "You can beat him into a pulp for all I care. I don't care about anyone anymore." She stormed off, leaving the two boys to stand there. Ame's outburst brought Haru out of black mode, so he was even more dazed than usual.
After a few minutes Momiji walked down solemnly. "What did you do? She wants you to have this" He handed a picture of a whole roast cow with a sign saying 'Haru' around its neck. "I think she's mad at you." Momiji added.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
"She's not in here, get out!" He snarled, but Ame kept calling out softly. "Get out! We have school tomorrow, she's probably in your room!"
