"That was a great movie!" Shigure exclaimed as the 'florid blossom trio'
walked back into Shigures house later that evening.
"Yeah, I agree, wasn't Nemo cute!" Ayame said happily. "What did u think of
the movie Tori-san?"
"It was alright, but next time can we go to a movie that's not a chick
flick or a kids movie." Hatori replied in his normal somewhat boring voice.
"Oh, but Tori-san, those are the best ones." Ayame half complaining half
giggling. (don't ask why.)
"Yes Aya, but we've seen finding nemo 5 times. I think the ticket clerk
might think we are-" (no dirty thoughts!)
"Ah! Are you embarrassed by us Tori-san?" Shigure said with a smile in his
voice. The voice he always uses while taunting someone.
"Im going to head home before this conversation goes any further." Hatori
said as he started for the door.
"You know Aya, the reason we've went to that movie 5 times is because
Hatori wont stop asking questions and we get thrown out."
"Gure! Don't talk that way about Tori-san. Besides, we almost saw the whole
thing today. He's getting better."
"Your right Aya, so what movie do you want to see next weekend?" Gure asked
"FINDING NEMO!" they both exclaimed at once.
Their fun was interrupted by the sound of the car leaving the driveway.
"Wait TORI-SAN! I NEED A RIDE BACK HOME!!!!!!" Ayame called after the car
that was now half way down the street.
Shigure gave a small sigh as he headed toward his room. We should do this
more often. He thought as he went to bed.
~*~*~*~while the Florid Blossom Trio were at the movies~*~*~*~
"Tohru-sneeze-are there- sneeze -any more- sneeze- tissues?" Kyo stammered
as he made his way sneezing to the bathroom where Tohru was behind the
closed door leaning over the toilet.
"In the closet downstairs, I think." Tohru said, followed immediately by
more contents falling into the toilet.
Kyo walked down the now clean stairway and went down to the broom closet on
the first floor, where he found Yuki. "What are you doing here you Kuso-
nezumi?!" Kyo called from the other end of the hall.
"If you must know baka neko, Im getting tissues." Yuki said with a sneeze.
"Oh move over you runt." Kyo said pushing Yuki aside.
"There are none left." Yuki said snidly.
"Yes there are." Kyo hollered as loud as he could (considering hes got the
flu or something that's not to loud.)
"No there's not, I got the last box." Yuki said waving the last tissue box
in his face.
"You sick tissue stealing bastard! Gimmy that box!" Kyo yelled, his voice
cracking.
"Will you really pick a fight over a silly box of tissues, Tisk tisk tisk."
Yuki said still dodging all of Kyo's attempts to get the box away from him.
When Kyo stopped lunging for the tissue box, he gave 3 loud sneezes and out
of no where he lunged once more at the tissue box, this time succeeding in
getting it, and ran up the stairs triumphantly to his room.
"What happened Kyo?" Kaiya asked as Kyo dashed into the room and locking
the door behind him. "Did you get the tissues?"
"Yup- sneeze- I got the last box." Kyo said with a large grin.
"You know, I would never have guessed that u have allergies." Kaiya said
with a smile.
"Well, they're only bad when there's a lot of.'stuff' in the air. Like this
unusual smelling stuff that those two losers put all over the house. But I
think I threw out all the candles, but there's nothing I can do about the
spray. ACHOOO" Kyo said triumphantly.
"Well at least ur not coughing as much anymore. I think you'll be able to
go back to school the day after tomorrow. Unless that is, if u keep on
throwing up."
"Well what about you? How are you feeling?" Kyo asked
"Oh me, Im fine. I could go back to school tomorrow." She said putting on
her best smile.
"Hum.maybe we should get Hatori to look at the both of us when he gets back
from the movies."
"Ok, well, Im gonna turn in. 'night." Kaiya said with a yawn and fell into
a deep sleep.
Kyo yawned and fell asleep soon after.
Kaiya woke the next morning to a new day and the bright morning sunshine.
She looked around the room for her clothes and found them hanging in Kyos
closet. She walk into the closet and emerged a few minutes later, as a
young girl dressed in a high school girls uniform. She grabbed her book
bag that was also in the closet and jumped out the window. But not before
she left a note for Kyo, it read:
Dear Kyo,
Thank you so much for letting me stay with you and taking care of me when I
was sick. I'll repay you someday. See you at school Kyo-Kyo. Get well soon,
Kaiya =^-^= (it's a cat!!)
She left it on his nightstand, and jumped out the window. Kyo opened his
eyes just in time to see her glistening hair disappear from view. As he
picked up the note and read it, he smiled at the little cat she drew and
stuffed the note under his pillow and went back to sleep.
Later that day Hatori stopped by to see how Kyo was doing. "Where's Kaiya?"
he asked when he noticed her absence.
"Oh," Kyo said, as if coming out of a dream, "she left. She's all better."
"I would have liked it if she checked with me first, but o well. So, what
did you think of her?" Hatori asked while checking his pulse. "What do ya
mean."
"I mean, what did you think of her? You know, meeting another cat? What did
you think of her?"
"I think that you've been hanging around Ayame and Shigure too long." Kyo
said rather irritated.
"Uh huh." Hatori said with a smirk.
"What's so 'Uh huh'?"
"Nothing, nothing, you just get plenty of rest, you should be well by
tomorrow."
"HEY! WAIT! Im not finished with you yet! Get back here! No one 'uh huhs',
me and gets away without saying why! HATORI!"
Poor Kyo, doesn't even know he's falling for her. Poor naive little Kyo,
don't think I didn't notice how your pulse quickened when I mentioned her.
And that whole Ayame Shigure comment was such a big hint. Just think what
they would think, on a lower level, and there you have Kyo's answer. ::long
pause:: but then again, this is the same guy that has never shown much
emotion at all, or has ever really cared to.
His thoughts were interrupted by a joyful black dog bounding toward him.
"Shigure, what poor high school girls memory do I have to erase this time
for your lack of control?" Hatori said a bit irritated. Shigure was always
always getting into some kind of trouble. "Oh you don't have to erase this
ones memory. I just 'accidentally' bumped into Tohru this morning while
turning a corner. It was an honest mistake." Shigure explained happily, his
tail wagging back and forth.
Tohru came running down the hall a minute latter holding Shigures clothes
in one hand and breakfast in the other. "Oh, Hatori san! How nice it is to
see you. Will you be staying for breakfast?" "Im afraid I cant. I Have and
early appointment."
"Oh Tori-san, don't be rude! Stay for breakfast." Shigure barked. There was
a loud ::POOF:: and Shigure was standing there in his birthday suite in a
cloud of pink smoke. Tohru quickly dropped his clothes and dashed in to the
next room apologizing her head off.
"While this has been an interesting morning, I must be getting back to the
mansion." Hatori said dully after breakfast.
"Oh my, Sohma-kun and I must be getting to school. I just need to bring
this tray up to Kyo, then we can leave, ok Sohma-san?"
"Alright miss Honda, I'll be by the door."
Tohru nodded and went upstairs to give Kyo his breakfast.
"Here you are Kyo-kun. What are you reading?" Tohru asked as she walked
into the room to find Kyo reading a little scrap of paper and laughing to
him self, muttering something about a cat drawing. At the sound of her
voice, Kyo quickly stuffed the paper under his pillow and thanked her as
she left. "Have a nice day." He called after her.
Kaiya arrived to school early that morning to get any assignments she
missed. And found that she only missed a few because Tohru had brought
homework for Kyo while she was sick. (and u know they were sick together so
they did homework together. Get it.) but of course she didn't tell the
teacher that, she just said that she got the work from a classmate and that
was that.
"Now Kaiya, I understand that you've been out the past week, but I would
like you to do your best at the work we're doing in class."
"Yes sir."
"Good, now get to your seat, class is about to start."
At the end of the class, she got a few congratulations from some people for
getting some of the harder problems in the math class. "Kaiya, may I see
you for a moment?" the teacher asked from his desk. "Yes sir, hey Tohru,
I'll see you at lunch." "Ok! We'll save you a seat." Tohru said happily as
she exited the math class.
"Yes sir, what is it?" "I just wanted to give you your missing assignments
and to say well done in today's class. You have really been on top of your
studies." "Um.thank you." She said blushing a bit, she had never been
complimented by a teacher before, and headed to the lunch room to join her
friends.
"Hey Kaiya! Over here!" Uo yelled from the other side of the cafeteria.
Kaiya waved and headed to her friends. When she got there she saw Tohru and
Yuki finishing some homework they had forgot to finish the night before.
"How's it goin' Kai!" Uo exclaimed.
"Great. What's for lunch? Im starved."
"Tuna fish sandwiches." Hana said in her creepy electric voice.
"Kool, I'll be right back."
When Kaiya came back, her and Uo talked the whole time. In the short time
that Kaiya had been at their school, Kaiya, Uo, Hana, and Tohru had become
close friends.
"See you guys later! I gotta go to work!" Kaiya called to them at the end
of the school day. "Buy Kaiya, its raining! You'll catch another cold!"
Tohru said worriedly. "No I wont, and if I do, Im not gonna be missing
school because of it this time. Besides, I need the money so I can keep
going to school, I haven't gone to work in a week. I have to. I'll catch up
with you later." "Fine, catch ya later Kai." Uo said and she waved good bye
to her friend dashing down the street.
~*~At the work place~*~
"Ah Kaiya, nice to see you again. But you don't work here anymore."
"WHAT!" Kaiya yelled flabbergasted.
"Oh not like that, you silly girl, you just got transferred to a different
building.
Kaiya gave a great sigh of relief. "Don't scare me like that. You know how
much I need this job. Ugh. Anyways, where is it? This new building." "Its
downtown, the giant building off of Charles street." "Oh! My friend Tohru
works there. This will be interesting. I guess I should be heading there
now. Bye!" and she was out the door, running to her the new building she
was gonna work at.
"Tohru!"
"Kaiya! What are you doing here!"
"I work here now, I got transferred to this building. Isn't that great!"
"That's wonderful! Here, I'll show you around."
That day after work both Kaiya and Tohru got their paychecks and went out
for ice cream. "Hey, Kaiya, could you wait right here, I gotta go call
Shigure, he's probably wondering where I am late at night." "Yeah sure,
I'll be right here."
Tohru went to the phone and dialed the number.
**ring** **ring**
"Hello?"
"Hi, Shigure?"
"Yes."
"Its Tohru-"
"Oh Tohru! We were all so worried about you."
"Oh Im sorry to make you worry. I just did a little overtime with Kaiya and
then we went out for ice cream. I should be home soon."
"Ok then, Im glad your alright, don't want some kind of pervert jumping out
and stealing out precious Tohru away."
::sweat drop:: "...right.I'll be home soon."
"Bye, bye"
Tohru hung up the receiver and turned around to hear,
"Hey there sweetness. Why don't you get in the car honey." Coming from the
shadows.
Tohru was frozen with fear. What am I going to do! Someone, help!
"I said, get in the car fool!" The man yelled, now out of the shadows and
standing 6 and a half feet tall right in front of her.
"GET AWAY FROM MY FRIEND YOU BASTARD!" came a voice as it ran to attack the
huge mass standing before Tohru.
"Oh look, another delicious little girl to play with." Laughed the man.
"I don't think so!" Kaiya yelled back as she dropkicked the guy, and
punched him in the jaw. "I said get away from my friend you perv!" "A
Fiiiiiiisty one aren't you. Well, I'll fix that." He said as he swung a
punch at her. "Your gonna have to do better then that." Kaiya taunted. "Run
Tohru! I'll take care of him. RUN!" With that Tohru ran as hard as she
could to the next pay phone and called the police. After which she went
back to the ice cream parlor where it was safe.
When Ten minutes had passed and Kaiya still hadn't come back, Tohru risked
going back to the corner where she had left Kaiya fighting with the
pervert. When she got there, she found an ambulance and a few police cars.
"What happened?" She asked one of the officers. "Im sorry miss, I don't
think Im allowed to tell you. Why don't you just go home and listen to the
news when you get home." But Tohru didn't listen to a word he said.
"Where's my friend? Where's Kaiya!" "Oh the girl, she's fine. She can take
care of herself that one. She's just a but shook up. Are you Tohru?" "Yes I
am. Where's Kaiya?" she asked again. "Oh, she asked to see you if you got
here. She's right over there with officer brown.
When Tohru saw Kaiya sitting on the bus bench, she ran right up to her.
"Kaiya! You're all right! Im so happy! I got so worried!" "Tohru! Im all
right. Its ok, that man was arrested, well first he was taken to the
hospital, something about... a possible concussion." They both laughed.
"How did you manage? Why did you come after me, not that Im not grateful."
"Well I came after you because you were taking a bit to long for just a
quick phone call. I was just checking on you. And good thing I did." "
Thank you. Where did you learn to do all that? It was amazing." "Well,
Kazuma- san taught me."
That's the same person that taught Kyo! "Really! Cause Kyo-" " I know, I
saw him there once sparing with some of the other students, but they were
all amateurs, I wanted to spar with him, but Kazuma- san said no." Because
if I had, Kazuma-san would have thought that I would make Kyo change. He
doesn't know who I am. I didn't know who I was back then either. Kaiya
thought to herself, not knowing that Tohru was thinking something similar.
She still didn't know that Kaiya was part of the Zodiac as well.
"Ah-hem. But do you girls need a ride home?" asked one of the officers,
making the 2 of them jump, thinking it was another pervert.
Both of them gave each other a sideways glance and accepted the offer. On
the way home the officer told them how they had helped them catch a man
they had been trying to catch for months for raping a bunch of young women.
This news only made Tohru more nervous and scared. "So where do you two
girls live?" The officer asked. "Just down this road and to you left" Tohru
answered. Oh no! What happens when he officer asks me where I live? I'll
have to go back and live with Shin again. I don't want that to happen!
He'll kill me! The thoughts screaming in her head. "Hey, Tohru, do you
think it would be alright if I stayed at your house? I don't feel very
comfortable going home." "Um.sure, I'll ask Shigure-san."
When the officer arrived at Shigures house, all three Sohmas greeted Tohru
at the door.
"Tohru, why are the police dropping you off?" Yuki asked as she walked
closer to the door. "Its alright Yuki. Officer Austin will explain. Oh and
Shigure?" "Yes Tohru?" "Can Kaiya stay the night?" "Well of course, any of
your high school friends can sleep over. Come to think of it, there's an
empty bed in my room!" there was a loud crash as two lumps appeared on
Shigures head. "On second thought, she can stay in your room Tohru-kun."
"Thank you Shigure-san." Kaiya said as she stepped into the house.
"Hey Mister, tell me, why is Tohru coming home in a Police car?" Kyo asked,
getting impatient. "Can I come in?" "Of course." Shigure said happily, more
visitors!
When the officer was all done explaining, the three Sohmas all nodded in
understanding. "I cant believe those two girls didn't become victims like
the others." "Well the other victims weren't level 6 black belts." Kaiya
chimed in as she was passing through the dinning room on her way to the
kitchen for a glass of water. WOW! Thought all four men sitting in the
dining room. The officer was first to collect himself, "Ah-hem, I should
best be going back on patrol. Good night all." And he left the house.
There was a minute of silence till Kaiya came back out of the kitchen with
two glasses of water. "Are you really a level 6 black belt?" Kyo asked, the
curiosity overwhelming him. "Yup, you got a problem with that?" she asked
with a bit of sarcastic anger in her voice. But Shigure took it seriously
and shook his head no. Kaiya just laughed, "Im only joking. Oh, I forgot to
thank you all for letting me stay here tonight. I'll make it up to you
somehow, I know! I'll make you all breakfast tomorrow, give Tohru a day
off." "Oh that's not necessary miss." "Just call me Kaiya, or Kai."
"Kaiya." Yuki insisted. "Well anyways, thank you. Good night, Yuki, Kyo,
Shigi." She smiled at them and went upstairs to Tohrus room.
"Did you hear that." Shigure beamed, " She called me Shigi! HEE HEE HEE!"

~~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~
"That was a great movie!" Shigure exclaimed as the 'florid blossom trio'
walked back into Shigures house later that evening.
"Yeah, I agree, wasn't Nemo cute!" Ayame said happily. "What did u think of
the movie Tori-san?"
"It was alright, but next time can we go to a movie that's not a chick
flick or a kids movie." Hatori replied in his normal somewhat boring voice.
"Oh, but Tori-san, those are the best ones." Ayame half complaining half
giggling. (don't ask why.)
"Yes Aya, but we've seen finding nemo 5 times. I think the ticket clerk
might think we are-" (no dirty thoughts!)
"Ah! Are you embarrassed by us Tori-san?" Shigure said with a smile in his
voice. The voice he always uses while taunting someone.
"Im going to head home before this conversation goes any further." Hatori
said as he started for the door.
"You know Aya, the reason we've went to that movie 5 times is because
Hatori wont stop asking questions and we get thrown out."
"Gure! Don't talk that way about Tori-san. Besides, we almost saw the whole
thing today. He's getting better."
"Your right Aya, so what movie do you want to see next weekend?" Gure asked
"FINDING NEMO!" they both exclaimed at once.
Their fun was interrupted by the sound of the car leaving the driveway.
"Wait TORI-SAN! I NEED A RIDE BACK HOME!!!!!!" Ayame called after the car
that was now half way down the street.
Shigure gave a small sigh as he headed toward his room. We should do this
more often. He thought as he went to bed.
~*~*~*~while the Florid Blossom Trio were at the movies~*~*~*~
"Tohru-sneeze-are there- sneeze -any more- sneeze- tissues?" Kyo stammered
as he made his way sneezing to the bathroom where Tohru was behind the
closed door leaning over the toilet.
"In the closet downstairs, I think." Tohru said, followed immediately by
more contents falling into the toilet.
Kyo walked down the now clean stairway and went down to the broom closet on
the first floor, where he found Yuki. "What are you doing here you Kuso-
nezumi?!" Kyo called from the other end of the hall.
"If you must know baka neko, Im getting tissues." Yuki said with a sneeze.
"Oh move over you runt." Kyo said pushing Yuki aside.
"There are none left." Yuki said snidly.
"Yes there are." Kyo hollered as loud as he could (considering hes got the
flu or something that's not to loud.)
"No there's not, I got the last box." Yuki said waving the last tissue box
in his face.
"You sick tissue stealing bastard! Gimmy that box!" Kyo yelled, his voice
cracking.
"Will you really pick a fight over a silly box of tissues, Tisk tisk tisk."
Yuki said still dodging all of Kyo's attempts to get the box away from him.
When Kyo stopped lunging for the tissue box, he gave 3 loud sneezes and out
of no where he lunged once more at the tissue box, this time succeeding in
getting it, and ran up the stairs triumphantly to his room.
"What happened Kyo?" Kaiya asked as Kyo dashed into the room and locking
the door behind him. "Did you get the tissues?"
"Yup- sneeze- I got the last box." Kyo said with a large grin.
"You know, I would never have guessed that u have allergies." Kaiya said
with a smile.
"Well, they're only bad when there's a lot of.'stuff' in the air. Like this
unusual smelling stuff that those two losers put all over the house. But I
think I threw out all the candles, but there's nothing I can do about the
spray. ACHOOO" Kyo said triumphantly.
"Well at least ur not coughing as much anymore. I think you'll be able to
go back to school the day after tomorrow. Unless that is, if u keep on
throwing up."
"Well what about you? How are you feeling?" Kyo asked
"Oh me, Im fine. I could go back to school tomorrow." She said putting on
her best smile.
"Hum.maybe we should get Hatori to look at the both of us when he gets back
from the movies."
"Ok, well, Im gonna turn in. 'night." Kaiya said with a yawn and fell into
a deep sleep.
Kyo yawned and fell asleep soon after.
Kaiya woke the next morning to a new day and the bright morning sunshine.
She looked around the room for her clothes and found them hanging in Kyos
closet. She walk into the closet and emerged a few minutes later, as a
young girl dressed in a high school girls uniform. She grabbed her book
bag that was also in the closet and jumped out the window. But not before
she left a note for Kyo, it read:
Dear Kyo,
Thank you so much for letting me stay with you and taking care of me when I
was sick. I'll repay you someday. See you at school Kyo-Kyo. Get well soon,
Kaiya =^-^= (it's a cat!!)
She left it on his nightstand, and jumped out the window. Kyo opened his
eyes just in time to see her glistening hair disappear from view. As he
picked up the note and read it, he smiled at the little cat she drew and
stuffed the note under his pillow and went back to sleep.
Later that day Hatori stopped by to see how Kyo was doing. "Where's Kaiya?"
he asked when he noticed her absence.
"Oh," Kyo said, as if coming out of a dream, "she left. She's all better."
"I would have liked it if she checked with me first, but o well. So, what
did you think of her?" Hatori asked while checking his pulse. "What do ya
mean."
"I mean, what did you think of her? You know, meeting another cat? What did
you think of her?"
"I think that you've been hanging around Ayame and Shigure too long." Kyo
said rather irritated.
"Uh huh." Hatori said with a smirk.
"What's so 'Uh huh'?"
"Nothing, nothing, you just get plenty of rest, you should be well by
tomorrow."
"HEY! WAIT! Im not finished with you yet! Get back here! No one 'uh huhs',
me and gets away without saying why! HATORI!"
Poor Kyo, doesn't even know he's falling for her. Poor naive little Kyo,
don't think I didn't notice how your pulse quickened when I mentioned her.
And that whole Ayame Shigure comment was such a big hint. Just think what
they would think, on a lower level, and there you have Kyo's answer. ::long
pause:: but then again, this is the same guy that has never shown much
emotion at all, or has ever really cared to.
His thoughts were interrupted by a joyful black dog bounding toward him.
"Shigure, what poor high school girls memory do I have to erase this time
for your lack of control?" Hatori said a bit irritated. Shigure was always
always getting into some kind of trouble. "Oh you don't have to erase this
ones memory. I just 'accidentally' bumped into Tohru this morning while
turning a corner. It was an honest mistake." Shigure explained happily, his
tail wagging back and forth.
Tohru came running down the hall a minute latter holding Shigures clothes
in one hand and breakfast in the other. "Oh, Hatori san! How nice it is to
see you. Will you be staying for breakfast?" "Im afraid I cant. I Have and
early appointment."
"Oh Tori-san, don't be rude! Stay for breakfast." Shigure barked. There was
a loud ::POOF:: and Shigure was standing there in his birthday suite in a
cloud of pink smoke. Tohru quickly dropped his clothes and dashed in to the
next room apologizing her head off.
"While this has been an interesting morning, I must be getting back to the
mansion." Hatori said dully after breakfast.
"Oh my, Sohma-kun and I must be getting to school. I just need to bring
this tray up to Kyo, then we can leave, ok Sohma-san?"
"Alright miss Honda, I'll be by the door."
Tohru nodded and went upstairs to give Kyo his breakfast.
"Here you are Kyo-kun. What are you reading?" Tohru asked as she walked
into the room to find Kyo reading a little scrap of paper and laughing to
him self, muttering something about a cat drawing. At the sound of her
voice, Kyo quickly stuffed the paper under his pillow and thanked her as
she left. "Have a nice day." He called after her.
Kaiya arrived to school early that morning to get any assignments she
missed. And found that she only missed a few because Tohru had brought
homework for Kyo while she was sick. (and u know they were sick together so
they did homework together. Get it.) but of course she didn't tell the
teacher that, she just said that she got the work from a classmate and that
was that.
"Now Kaiya, I understand that you've been out the past week, but I would
like you to do your best at the work we're doing in class."
"Yes sir."
"Good, now get to your seat, class is about to start."
At the end of the class, she got a few congratulations from some people for
getting some of the harder problems in the math class. "Kaiya, may I see
you for a moment?" the teacher asked from his desk. "Yes sir, hey Tohru,
I'll see you at lunch." "Ok! We'll save you a seat." Tohru said happily as
she exited the math class.
"Yes sir, what is it?" "I just wanted to give you your missing assignments
and to say well done in today's class. You have really been on top of your
studies." "Um.thank you." She said blushing a bit, she had never been
complimented by a teacher before, and headed to the lunch room to join her
friends.
"Hey Kaiya! Over here!" Uo yelled from the other side of the cafeteria.
Kaiya waved and headed to her friends. When she got there she saw Tohru and
Yuki finishing some homework they had forgot to finish the night before.
"How's it goin' Kai!" Uo exclaimed.
"Great. What's for lunch? Im starved."
"Tuna fish sandwiches." Hana said in her creepy electric voice.
"Kool, I'll be right back."
When Kaiya came back, her and Uo talked the whole time. In the short time
that Kaiya had been at their school, Kaiya, Uo, Hana, and Tohru had become
close friends.
"See you guys later! I gotta go to work!" Kaiya called to them at the end
of the school day. "Buy Kaiya, its raining! You'll catch another cold!"
Tohru said worriedly. "No I wont, and if I do, Im not gonna be missing
school because of it this time. Besides, I need the money so I can keep
going to school, I haven't gone to work in a week. I have to. I'll catch up
with you later." "Fine, catch ya later Kai." Uo said and she waved good bye
to her friend dashing down the street.
~*~At the work place~*~
"Ah Kaiya, nice to see you again. But you don't work here anymore."
"WHAT!" Kaiya yelled flabbergasted.
"Oh not like that, you silly girl, you just got transferred to a different
building.
Kaiya gave a great sigh of relief. "Don't scare me like that. You know how
much I need this job. Ugh. Anyways, where is it? This new building." "Its
downtown, the giant building off of Charles street." "Oh! My friend Tohru
works there. This will be interesting. I guess I should be heading there
now. Bye!" and she was out the door, running to her the new building she
was gonna work at.
"Tohru!"
"Kaiya! What are you doing here!"
"I work here now, I got transferred to this building. Isn't that great!"
"That's wonderful! Here, I'll show you around."
That day after work both Kaiya and Tohru got their paychecks and went out
for ice cream. "Hey, Kaiya, could you wait right here, I gotta go call
Shigure, he's probably wondering where I am late at night." "Yeah sure,
I'll be right here."
Tohru went to the phone and dialed the number.
**ring** **ring**
"Hello?"
"Hi, Shigure?"
"Yes."
"Its Tohru-"
"Oh Tohru! We were all so worried about you."
"Oh Im sorry to make you worry. I just did a little overtime with Kaiya and
then we went out for ice cream. I should be home soon."
"Ok then, Im glad your alright, don't want some kind of pervert jumping out
and stealing out precious Tohru away."
::sweat drop:: "...right.I'll be home soon."
"Bye, bye"
Tohru hung up the receiver and turned around to hear,
"Hey there sweetness. Why don't you get in the car honey." Coming from the
shadows.
Tohru was frozen with fear. What am I going to do! Someone, help!
"I said, get in the car fool!" The man yelled, now out of the shadows and
standing 6 and a half feet tall right in front of her.
"GET AWAY FROM MY FRIEND YOU BASTARD!" came a voice as it ran to attack the
huge mass standing before Tohru.
"Oh look, another delicious little girl to play with." Laughed the man.
"I don't think so!" Kaiya yelled back as she dropkicked the guy, and
punched him in the jaw. "I said get away from my friend you perv!" "A
Fiiiiiiisty one aren't you. Well, I'll fix that." He said as he swung a
punch at her. "Your gonna have to do better then that." Kaiya taunted. "Run
Tohru! I'll take care of him. RUN!" With that Tohru ran as hard as she
could to the next pay phone and called the police. After which she went
back to the ice cream parlor where it was safe.
When Ten minutes had passed and Kaiya still hadn't come back, Tohru risked
going back to the corner where she had left Kaiya fighting with the
pervert. When she got there, she found an ambulance and a few police cars.
"What happened?" She asked one of the officers. "Im sorry miss, I don't
think Im allowed to tell you. Why don't you just go home and listen to the
news when you get home." But Tohru didn't listen to a word he said.
"Where's my friend? Where's Kaiya!" "Oh the girl, she's fine. She can take
care of herself that one. She's just a but shook up. Are you Tohru?" "Yes I
am. Where's Kaiya?" she asked again. "Oh, she asked to see you if you got
here. She's right over there with officer brown.
When Tohru saw Kaiya sitting on the bus bench, she ran right up to her.
"Kaiya! You're all right! Im so happy! I got so worried!" "Tohru! Im all
right. Its ok, that man was arrested, well first he was taken to the
hospital, something about... a possible concussion." They both laughed.
"How did you manage? Why did you come after me, not that Im not grateful."
"Well I came after you because you were taking a bit to long for just a
quick phone call. I was just checking on you. And good thing I did." "
Thank you. Where did you learn to do all that? It was amazing." "Well,
Kazuma- san taught me."
That's the same person that taught Kyo! "Really! Cause Kyo-" " I know, I
saw him there once sparing with some of the other students, but they were
all amateurs, I wanted to spar with him, but Kazuma- san said no." Because
if I had, Kazuma-san would have thought that I would make Kyo change. He
doesn't know who I am. I didn't know who I was back then either. Kaiya
thought to herself, not knowing that Tohru was thinking something similar.
She still didn't know that Kaiya was part of the Zodiac as well.
"Ah-hem. But do you girls need a ride home?" asked one of the officers,
making the 2 of them jump, thinking it was another pervert.
Both of them gave each other a sideways glance and accepted the offer. On
the way home the officer told them how they had helped them catch a man
they had been trying to catch for months for raping a bunch of young women.
This news only made Tohru more nervous and scared. "So where do you two
girls live?" The officer asked. "Just down this road and to you left" Tohru
answered. Oh no! What happens when he officer asks me where I live? I'll
have to go back and live with Shin again. I don't want that to happen!
He'll kill me! The thoughts screaming in her head. "Hey, Tohru, do you
think it would be alright if I stayed at your house? I don't feel very
comfortable going home." "Um.sure, I'll ask Shigure-san."
When the officer arrived at Shigures house, all three Sohmas greeted Tohru
at the door.
"Tohru, why are the police dropping you off?" Yuki asked as she walked
closer to the door. "Its alright Yuki. Officer Austin will explain. Oh and
Shigure?" "Yes Tohru?" "Can Kaiya stay the night?" "Well of course, any of
your high school friends can sleep over. Come to think of it, there's an
empty bed in my room!" there was a loud crash as two lumps appeared on
Shigures head. "On second thought, she can stay in your room Tohru-kun."
"Thank you Shigure-san." Kaiya said as she stepped into the house.
"Hey Mister, tell me, why is Tohru coming home in a Police car?" Kyo asked,
getting impatient. "Can I come in?" "Of course." Shigure said happily, more
visitors!
When the officer was all done explaining, the three Sohmas all nodded in
understanding. "I cant believe those two girls didn't become victims like
the others." "Well the other victims weren't level 6 black belts." Kaiya
chimed in as she was passing through the dinning room on her way to the
kitchen for a glass of water. WOW! Thought all four men sitting in the
dining room. The officer was first to collect himself, "Ah-hem, I should
best be going back on patrol. Good night all." And he left the house.
There was a minute of silence till Kaiya came back out of the kitchen with
two glasses of water. "Are you really a level 6 black belt?" Kyo asked, the
curiosity overwhelming him. "Yup, you got a problem with that?" she asked
with a bit of sarcastic anger in her voice. But Shigure took it seriously
and shook his head no. Kaiya just laughed, "Im only joking. Oh, I forgot to
thank you all for letting me stay here tonight. I'll make it up to you
somehow, I know! I'll make you all breakfast tomorrow, give Tohru a day
off." "Oh that's not necessary miss." "Just call me Kaiya, or Kai."
"Kaiya." Yuki insisted. "Well anyways, thank you. Good night, Yuki, Kyo,
Shigi." She smiled at them and went upstairs to Tohrus room.
"Did you hear that." Shigure beamed, " She called me Shigi! HEE HEE HEE!"
