~*~*~*~*~*~*Kaiya*~*~*~*~*~*
"You're the wha- How do you know about tha- How can you be- I'm the-" Kyou
stuttered
"Just listen. Calm down. I'm the cat. Im just like you, I have the curse,
the demon form, everything. That's why I always wear this necklace. Im the
white cat you found." I said wiping off the consealer, revealing the three
scratches. When he saw them, closer this time, his eyes widened. I could
see him start to shake, and I knew he didn't understand. The way he was
looking at me, like I was a freak, I knew it was to good to be true if he
understood. The cat was destined to be alone. I looked up at him once more.
He started to back away at my gaze. I knew it. I turned and ran back to the
forest. Where I belonged. I would have run to Shins house and answered
deaths cries, but something drew me back to the forest. And I ran, ran, as
fast as I could, away from the track, away from him, away from the Sohmas
forever.
When I got to my tent, it had started raining again. I turned around
for the first time, back in the direction I had just come in, and there,
right in front of my face was Kyou. I stepped back, and tripped on a log,
landing in the soft mud, and started to cry. I tried to hold it back; I
couldn't let anyone see me like this. But holding the tears back was
something I couldn't do. The tears streamed down my face, tears of sadness,
of disappointment, of anger. I got up, walked past Kyou, towards my tent.
As I passed him, he grabbed my shoulder, and I snapped. I turned around to
face him. I grabbed is hand that was on my shoulder, and twisted it.
Flipping him at the same time. He was now on the ground, staring up at me
in awe. He quickly got up to face me again. My anger at its peak, I lunged
at him. I punched, kicked, and slammed him to the ground, for who knows how
long. All the while, he made no attempt to attack me back. As I stood
towering over him as he lay on the ground, he said, in a calm and kind of
angered voice, "What the hell are you doing? This isn't you. I know I just
met you, but the Kaiya I got to know, wasn't like this."
"You bastard! You don't know me at all! I thought you would understand! But
you're just like them! ALL of them! Your just like that DAMN RAT!" I spat.
At this, he seemed to get mad. In One quick move, we had switched places,
now it was I who was pinned to the ground and him towering over me. "And
what the hell gives you the right to compare me to that damn rat!" he
yelled. I just looked away. "Answer me! And what the hell makes you think
you can just come into my life, and screw it all up by telling me that
you're the cat." "So that's what I am," I whispered, "Im a screw up, an
annoyance. Its ok, I know, Im sorry, I'll leave now. You wont hear from me
again." I said, pushing him off me. I got up, packed my tent and my things,
and started walking away. All the while, Kyou just stood there, staring,
watching, glued to the spot.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~Kyou~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As I stood there, in the pouring rain, I watched her pack her things, and
start to walk away. I stood there, thinking about what she had just said.
And I realized, she was right. She was just like me; she had a right to be
mad and angry with me. She thought that I would understand, but I pushed
her away, I shunned her. Just like everyone had done to me all my life. I
finally found someone that would understand, really understand, and I
treated that person like how everyone had treated me.
As I watched her stalk off, I ran after her. If it was the last thing I
did, I had to make her stay, or at least apologize to her, if I could bring
my self to do that. Its not in my brain to apologize, or to be thinking
like this for that matter, but what the hell. There's a first time for
everything. Well not everything, like apologizing to a damn rat, that
wasn't going to happen, but anyways! Back to what I was going to do, but
when I looked around for her, she was gone. All her stuff was there, but I
couldn't see her anywhere. I ran up o her stuff to investigate, and I found
my answer, I found a little white unconscious ball of fluff. As I picked
her up, I felt her for-head, she had a fever, as I ran towards the house, I
heard a faint whisper saying, "I knew you'd understand, please don't tell
anyone." And she fell limp once more in my arms.
As I ran towards Shigure's house, I saw Tohru standing at the front
door looking for me. When she saw the little ball of fluff in my arms, she
ran to me franticly. "Call Hatori." I half yelled. My voice cracked and I
started coughing. "Kyou-kun, you're catching a cold out here. Please come
inside!" I nodded and stated up to my room as Tohru called Hatori. I placed
Kaiya into the little basket with a little towel I found and put it over
her as a blanket. Tohru walked in as I was about to climb into bed and ran
up to me with a small bundle of clothes. "Here you go Kyou-kun." She said
handing me a pile of warm clothes. " They just came out of the drier
machine. You need to get out of your wet clothes, or your cold will get
much worse." "I don't have a-" but I couldn't finish, I started coughing
and realized she was right. She gave me a worried look and walked out the
door saying she would be back later with some chicken soup. I looked at the
clothes she had given me. They were the pajamas she had given me for
Christmas last year with the little cats on it. I could tell they were
originally red, but she sewed little cats onto them. I smiled at this and
put them on, then climbed into bed.
About 15 minutes later, Hatori and Tohru walked in, Tohru carrying a
bowl of soup, and Hatori with his doctors' bag. Hatori took my temperature,
to find that I had a temperature of 102 degrees. After 5 minutes, he
diagnosed me with the flu, and ordered me to stay in bed for a few days. He
was about to get up, when he noticed Kaiya. "How's she doing?" he asked.
"Worse. She was better this morning, but ran away and I found her in the
woods." I said. "She shouldn't have been better this morning. She would
have been to weak.unless.Tohru, may I speak with Kyou in private for a
minute?"
"Oh, of course." She said happily and closed the door behind her as she
left.
"Unless what?" I asked.
"Unless she was your similar. But that couldn't be. She lives far away. But
it kind of goes together with the story Yuki said about the rat
transforming into a tiger."
"Why would it matter?" I asked.
"Because similars heal faster then normal animals, or humans. But still,
she still would have been weak, and in no condition to be out in the rain
all day."
"Her name is Kaiya." I muttered.
"What?" Hatori asked shocked.
"The cat, or rather the person she is, her name is Kaiya."
"How do you-?"
"A better question is how do you know about the similars and about her?" I
demanded.
"Similars are very unique. So much in fact that there are only 7 of them,
one of witch is a wild. The other similars are the Cow, Tiger, Boar, Snake,
Rabbit, Cat, and the Dog. Good thing Shigure doesnt know about her, or he
would be on her so fast."
"Get to the point Hatori!" I yelled
"Fine, although Im not quite sure why I'm telling you, but here goes. Where
was I, ah yes, the other similars and the Wild. Well the other similars,
the Cow, Tiger, Snake, Rabbit, and the cat, which you clam is in front of
me. But anyways, the wild is most important. The wild is what you guys saw
in the woods. The Wild can transform into any animal in the zodiac, but in
a fiercer form. He is, or would be, in a higher position then Akito, but
since he was the Wild of the two twins, and stuff, Akito was chosen to die,
so he was put in a higher position."
"HOLD on! Akito has a twin! Since when!" I said not believing what I was
hearing. "One Akito is enough." I concluded.
"Since always. Akito was sent to live in the main house and Shin, the wild,
was sent to live like a relatively normal boy with his parents. But then he
became jealous of his brothers position, and became cold and heartless,
much like Akito himself. Then, a few years ago, I learned that the cat
similar was sent to live with Shins family. I didn't know any of this stuff
until I found Kaiya wandering around aimlessly one day a year or two ago,
bleeding, and badly hurt. I took care of her for a while, and she told me
everything. But not to tell anyone but her 'similar.' And she left. I never
saw her again, till today."
"So, this is her? My similar? What's a similar supposed to mean anyways?"
"I'm not sure. She didn't say, except for that her similar was the person
that was like her at heart. I don't know," Hatori said, picking her up, and
starting to stroke her. "She has scars," He said after a minute.
"Huh?"
"She has scars, from being whipped, or beaten. And she has scars on her
wrists too." "How do you know?"
"I can feel them beneath her fur. She hasn't had an easy life." Hatori
paused, put her on my bed saying, "I have to go, I suggest you both get
some rest." And he left.
"Well that was awkward." I said out loud, then turned to put Kaiya back in
her basket, and went to sleep.

SOOooooOOoooooooOOOOOO.......What do ya think? I know its kind of corny,
and its not really in Kyou's nature to be this....way....but deal with it.
Tell me what you think!
"You're the wha- How do you know about tha- How can you be- I'm the-" Kyou
stuttered
