A/N: Yay!! New chapter!(finally) I'm currently working on another fic (the
plot is in the
works), but as you all can see, I'm still plowing through this one! (which
is a good thing)
I think there's going to be about 2 or 3 more chapters, so thanks to all
who have reviewed
and to all who have kept up with this story!

Chapter 5: Lost and Found
"ACHOO!" Yuki's pale face told Kyo all. 'Yuki's sick again, and we're stuck in
this rain.', Kyo thought. Yuki, clothes wet, started a series of hoarse coughs.
'What am I going to do?'
~~
The bell rang, and students piled out of their classrooms. The rain had ceased an hour ago, yet the clouds still overlooked the city. All of the younger children, despite their parents warnings, played in and near the puddles that the storm had left behind. Tohru walked down the sidewalk, quietly going over what had happened that day. Her mom couldn't pick her up today, as she had to do some overtime at work.
'It can't have happened.', she thought. 'Keisuke-san was always nice to me.....I don't think that he would have any reason to....' She smiled, trying to convince herself that the day had gone normally, that the rain had gotten to her. Even the other kids at school treated her semi-civily today. One had even ask her to pass a red crayon his way. She had no idea where Yuki and Kyo were, and of course, Keisuke didn't treat her any different than any other day....'Except the way he looks at me. Like I did something wrong.' replied a tiny voice at the back of her head. "Well, I didn't!", she said aloud. She continued her stroll around the corner, almost a block away from her house. She heard a crying sound from behind a bush, and stopped.
"Who's there?", she called. Tohru stood quiet and listened, but she couldn't hear anything else. She cautiously stepped towards the plant that had cried out. There she found two pitiful-looking creatures.....an orange cat and a small mouse.
~~
"There you go." said Tohru. She had carried both animals home, sorry that they had gotten caught in the rain. The cat was comfortably snoozing on the couch, blanket warming it's body. But the mouse seemed as if it had trouble breathing. Tohru had tried everything she could think of: she had toweled the rat dry, offered it cheese, and had even tried making it a quaint little bed next to the cat. (with no luck of getting them to sleep together) The rat just laid there, body moving only slightly to indicate that it was alive, it's eyes just half-open. Tohru was thoroughly frustrated.
"Mr. Mouse, I don't know what to do anymore! Mom's not going to be home for another hour, and.....and I don't want you to get sick!" She teared up, not knowing how she could possibly help anyone anymore, feeling like a failure. "I can't even take care of animals, let alone make friends!"
Yuki looked up at Tohru. She continued. "I've been trying to be nice to everyone, and keep smiling, but sometimes it's so hard! Why does everybody treat me this way? And today....today I don't even know anything anymore....I think that Keisuke did something, but I can't remember it....", her voice faltered. "But why am I telling you all this? You can't even understand me. But it's still nice to talk about this with someone, even if it's with you, Mr. Mouse."
'I didn't know.', thought Yuki. "I need-"
"Did you just talk, Mr. Mouse?"
"Y-yes. I need c-cough syrup......" Tohru stared the mouse laying in front of her. She put her hand up to her forehead. "My temperature feels normal.....but maybe I'm burning up...."
"Just get it for me...please. It usually makes me feel better...."
Tohru thought for a moment. "Alright.", she said. She walked down the hallway, her footsteps fading. At this time Kyo woke up. He sat up,(at least up enough for a cat), yawned, and said, "Where are we?"
"We're at Tohru Honda's house. I think she found us and took us home.", replied Yuki. Kyo looked at his surroundings. "Tohru? I don't know a Tohru....oh.....that Tohru." "Yes, that Tohru. Look, I think we should, I dunno, get to know her better. She's really nice you know." Kyo rubbed the spot where she had slapped him yesterday. "But I thought she didn't like me anymore."
"So did I. But I think she feels just as bad as I.....I mean, we do."
"Right.", Kyo responded. "And what about that freak Keisuke? I've seen him around Tohru. What does he have against her? She-Yuki!"
Yuki started a series of hoarse coughs, practically gasping for air. "Yuki! Okay....... .........whatdoIdowhatdoIdowhatdoIdo?!!! I'm a stinkin CAT for Pete's sake!!!! How am I supposed to help him?!!"
"So.....you can talk too, Mr. Cat?" Tohru stood by the door, cough syrup in hand.
"OmigoshOmigoshOmigosh!!! How did you-I mean, how CAN you- what am I saying?! Quick, Tohru,...."
"You know my name?"
"Yuki needs you!!!"
"Right!" Tohru headed for the mouse, filled an eye dropper with cherry- flavored cough syrup, and lifted it's tiny head just enough that it's mouth opened, just a crack. Then she stopped. "Yuki?"
**POOF!!!!**
And suddenly, instead of a talking cat spazing out on the couch and a barely- breathing mouse on Tohru's lap, there were two naked little boys in Tohru's room: One spazing out on the couch and the other on Tohru's lap trying to cover up things that a 6-year old girl shouldn't have to see...........O.o
~~End Ch. 5
I had mental images in my head while writing this......O.o Okay, that's all I'm going to write for now! I know I have a tendency to write short chapters, but......yeah. Please Review!!! (^.~)
