((Disclaimer-type-deal-yea-whatever: Sadly...Furuba is not mine...No joyousness...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REVIEWING!!! - COOKIES TO YOU!!!!(Especially for not saying its weird... which it is...and will only, get weirder) Oh. And Seagal, No guessing my stories...Shh.Is a secret what happens! -Jumps around giggling insanely- And Kaylariana, Kagura will come shortly...and I'll see what I can do about having Ritsu play a part. -Smirk- And I've seen it spelled both ways...So I will interchange my spellings of Kyo/Kyou.... Now. On with the story! ))
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After succeeding in making my way into the house, I began to look around wide-eyed
'Wow...for a bachelor pad with no girls around this really isn't too shabby...' I turned back
towards Kyou, finding that he had started up a flight of stairs. I ran to catch up, nearly tripping
myself on the bottom stair but regaining my composure right before landing against Kyo's back.
' THAT would have been embarrassing...' I thought, blushing slightly at even thinking of it and
kept my head down the rest of the way...at least until I realized that I had to be able to SEE Kyo
to follow him...Oops... I pulled up my head just in type to seem him turn into a bedroom. ((As
in walk into...Kyou is not a bedroom! Just to clear that up.)) I ran after him and skid to a stop at
the room before me. 'Wow....' The room had an AT LEAST Queen-sized bed, in the corner,
with a pink spread. Pink isn't really my color, but for this I'll make an exception... "Wow, Kyou,
this is really nice..." Kyou didn't even answer me...unless a nod counts as answering! He turned
to leave, and as an instinct I reached out towards him...but quickly pulled my hand back...What
am I thinking?!? But before I could stop myself two words trailed out of my mouth. "Kyou
wait!" He turned around with a glare. "What do you want NOW Emi?" "Um...Thanks for
bringing my stuff up...." My face was burning!! I'm making such a fool of myself...but I heard him
let out a slight laugh under his breath. "Don't worry about it little cat." I looked up at him and
smiled my tail wagging from joyfulness. ((I rarely use happy anymore...its always joyful or
joyous...long story...don't ask!)) Kyou shook his head at me, but you could see slight traces of a
smile curl themselves at the ends of his mouth. "Just get yourself settled first Koneko, then I'll
show you around." "Okay!!" I nearly jumped at my suitcase the second he was out of sight.
Humming to myself I began putting my clothes away...and singing a song about it. "Shirts in the
top drawer, skirts in the bottom, Pants in between and...." I giggled to myself, 'I feel so giddy!
And to think of how nervous I was...' I was just about done when I heard a knock on my door.
Looking up, I saw Yuki's deep purple orbs gazing down into my bright blue ones. "Do you
need any help with that Miss Misuya?" He asked, obviously trying to make up for his earlier
rudeness...not like I cared...but still... "I'm almost done, Thanks for the offer though, Yuki!" I
folded my last shirt into the top drawer. "There! All Done!" I giggled slightly, "When's dinner
Yuki?" Some sort of mix between a grin and a smirk crossed his face. "Kyou's TRYING to
cook something up.... But I think we may need the phone soon..." He said a slight laugh find its
way out of his mouth. "For the Fire Department?!?" I asked, lost at this new idea. "No ,Emi, For
take out. " He said grinning and leaving me to my room. I stood up and closed my drawers,
before walking out into the hallway and looking around. ' Oh! The stairs! They must be down
there right?! Then I can help Kyou cook and he will be very pleased with me and...' I felt a purr
come up my throat and blushed again as it left, but even embarrassing myself like that couldn't
put me in a BAD mood right now! I smiled to myself; my tail waving behind me as I started to
skip down the stairs...note to self...NEVER skip down stairs. I tripped over them and felt myself
go flying to the bottom. 'Please don't let me get hurt please don't let me get hurt please don't let
me...' "OOF!" I hit the ground..HARD...and I would have hit it harder had not Shigure been
passing by...Yes, I landed on him. Horribly embarrassed, I quickly scrambled off of him,
apologizing as I did so, "Gomen, Gomen, Gomen!!!!" I opened my eyes...I guess I had shut
them in fright, and turned to apologize some more... to a black dog?!?! 'Wait...Shigure can't
be...I'm probably just seeing things from my fall...yes, that's it...I'm seeing things from my...' the
next thing I knew I was waking up to the voices of the Sohmas around me. Trying to sit up, I
was met by two arms shoving me carefully back down, Yuki..."I'm glad you're awake but try to
rest, Emi. You got hurt pretty badly in that little fall of yours." I nodded and made myself
comfortable in bed before turning to the two boys, still a little dizzy. "W-w-w-why was Shigure a
dog?" They stopped their bickering and turned to stare at me gaping. "You saw then?" Yuki
asked. I nodded. Kyou smirked at no one in particular and jumped off the side of the bed. Yuki
also took this chance to stand up. "You stay here and rest Emi, I have to talk to Shigure." He
turned to glare at Kyou. "And you, baka neko, will stay and keep an eye on her." "WHY ME?!
Why don't YOU stay and keep an eye on her?" "Because, I have to talk to Shigure." Yuki left
Kyou standing there fuming, I could practically see the hair on his neck standing up. ' Poor
Kyou... He really doesn't want to be stuck with me...' ((Note: When it comes to relationships, I
think like Kami. Only Maki will understand this FULLY but...I think that everything is my fault
and no one wants to be around me basically...No wonder I don't have a boyfriend...)) I found
myself staring and quickly looked away from him and into my pillow. "Y-you can go if you want
to Kyo, I'll be fine." I guess he was shocked out of his fuming because he came and sat back on
the edge of my bed. "And why would I do that, Little Kitty?" "B-because you didn't sound too
happy to get stuck watching me..." I felt a warm touch as he rested his hand on my shoulder. I
turned around surprised to face him. "It's not your fault; it's just that damn rat!" I looked at him
confused. "You mean Yuki?" "Yea...uh...Him..." I smiled at him. "Okay!! I was just confused!"
He smiled at me and I smiled back, pink coming to my cheeks to clash with the blue in my eyes.
He opened his mouth to say something, but didn't get a chance to as Yuki and Shigure took this
exact moment to come in. "Emi?" Yuki asked sitting down on the edge of my bed again, Shigure
following him. "Miss Misuya, I've just gotten off the phone with Aki--the head of the family.
And well, We have something to tell you." Kyou sighed with relief, which caused Yuki to raise
an eyebrow at him, Which caused Kyou to glare at him, which caused Yuki to glare back.... ((I
better just stop now, I'm amusing myself WAY to easily...but I wish to tell about the curse!))
Shigure continued, "Our family, well, our family is cursed. Whenever a member of the opposite
sex embraces us, we transform into an animal of the Chinese zodiac. Yuki is the rat, I am the
dog, and Kyou...Kyo is the cat." My eyes widened an awful lot, "S-so that's why you were a
dog Shigure? Because I fell on you?" The dog nodded. "Oh... Well...I'm glad that I know..." I
winked and on a tangent, hugged Kyou very tightly. He jumped in surprise and. of course,
"poofed"... Just like me. This turn of events caused all three of them to stare at me in surprise
again, I would have blushed...but Black is a very difficult color to make darker...That's right, I'm
a black cat...With a pretty blue bow around my neck of course!
