The next few days passed quickly for the six friends. Of course, the
biggest surprise came when Ayame published some of their pictures in a
magazine to advertise for his shop. He published a picture with Kaiya, Uo,
and Tohru doing a Charlies angles pose and one of Kyo and Yuki (who wasn't
wearing the dress he was previously wearing, but was wearing something more
similar, {kind of} to what Kyo was wearing) doing a tough guy pose. The
Yuki fan club instantly took the picture and put it all over the school.
Yuki had quite a hard time convincing the fan club that he didn't want a
picture of him and Kyo hanging all over the school. So the fan girls ripped
Kyo out and just put Yuki.
Anyways, after this whole fiasco, the list for the track and gym team
was posted. "Hey Kaiya!" an eager orange haired boy yelled from down the
hall.
"Yeah, what is it Kyo?" the cat replied
"Have you seen the list?" He said eagerly, practically jumping up and down.
(But you know he wouldn't, that would make him too much like Momiji, and
that was the last thing he wanted)
"No I haven't, Im kind of scared to look. How am I ever going to pay for
school, and two sports teams? I might even have to quit one of them. I only
tired out for both because I didn't think I would actually make it into any
of them."
"Well I hope you decide to quit the gym team cause you made it into track."
"OH MY GOSH! Are you serious? Oh my gosh!" She screamed happily. "I have
to tell Tohru and the others!" and with that she ran off to find them.
"Congratulations" muttered Kyo as he watched the cat run down the hall.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
.
As the next couple of weeks went by, the people in Shigures house seemed
extra busy. Shigure was on a deadline for his new book, he even didn't have
the time to torture his publisher like always.
Kaiya had become very busy with school, sports, and she was working a lot
of overtime at her job. She was Kaiya Minamoto by day and Kai the cat by
night.
Tohru was struggling with her job as well, and she was starting to fall
behind on her schoolwork. Yuki was busy with all his school 'politics' and
president crap and stuff, and for some reason, (still unknown and we'll
never know why) Kyo started working secretly for Ayame. (hey, I guess he
needed the cash or something, why else would he work for Ayame? but what
would he want the cash for? Hum.(nehehehe)) For the most part, everything
was going smoothly as all of this became routine after a while. Till one
day:
.
"Minamoto, Kaiya, May I see you in my office." Came the headmasters voice
over the intercom.
From all over the room whispers started all around the class. "Hey Kaiya,
what's going on?" Asked Hana from her seat behind Kaiya. "Not sure" was all
she could say as the teacher dismissed her from class.
.
~*~Headmasters office~*~
.
::knock, knock:: "Come in." Came a voice from inside the room.
"Yes head master? What did you want to talk to me about?" Asked Kaiya, a
bit frightened, as she entered the office. The headmaster was holding up a
file, and on the tab it read, Minamoto, Kaiya.
"You know young lady, it is preferred that you give a weeks notice when
your moving so that we can send your records to your new school early. You
should have told me or my secretary you were moving tomorrow."
'WHAT! Im moving! When did this happen? How did this happen? OMG! IM GONNA
KILL SHIN FOR THIS!(Kaiya)' "Um.sir, Im not going anywhere. I'm staying
right here at Kaibara high, I'm only moving to a new house. I'll still be
in the same district." Kaiya assured him, although she had no idea what she
was going to do.
"You know miss Minamoto, its not a good idea to make a habit out of lying."
"I don't know what your talking about." Kaiya said, defiantly not lying.
"Well you see, unless you consider the USA, in the same district, then I
believe you."
"IM MOVING TO THE U.S.!"
"Well honestly, your saying this like you don't know, now I've taken the
liberty of telling your teachers already, I suggest you go to you locker
and get your things in order."
"Yes sir." She said miserably as she left the office.
.
::ring, ring:: "Moshi, moshi?"
"Yes, this is the headmaster at Kaibara high school. I would like to talk
to master Shin."
"This is Shin. Did you do it old man?"
"Yes, it is done. She'll be coming home shortly. That girl wont be coming
here anymore, Or to any school. You can't attend school if you're a ghost."
::Evil laughing heard from both sides of the telephone.::
.
Want a cliffy? Didn't think so. Here's more~!
.
~*~*~ later at school in the caf.~*~*~
.
"Kaiya, over here!" Yelled Tohru from a table in the cafeteria.
"What happened?"
"I.I.I'm moving." She said in a low hushed tone.
"WHAT!" all of them burst out at once. "To where?"
"The U.S."
"What the hell?"
"Yeah, that bastard Shin, I'll get him for this. ~sigh~ After all this
time, I thought he forgot about me. I thought he would leave me alone. But
he found me."
"Who is this 'he'?" Kyo asked with a hint of, could it be, jealousy?
"Shin. I live with him and his.um.family. If you could call it that."
'should I tell them that Shin is also a Sohma? And why he wants me to stay
away from the other Sohmas? (Kaiya)'
Kyo, a bit relieved, went on eating his lunch, determined to ask more
later.
"So is this you last day with us Kaiya?" Tohru asked.
"Not if I have anything to say about it." At all of their questioning faces
Kaiya decided that she needed to explain a bit more. "Well, first of all,
I'm supposed to be heading home right now so technically I'm not even
supposed to be here, and secondly, I'm not going to let Shin control my
life and to take me away from the people I care about most. I'm going to do
something about this. If all goes well, I'll see you all tomorrow."
And with that she left the lunch room with a few bewildered faces looking
back at her.
"What the hell is that maniac planning?" Kyo wondered out loud. Saying the
question that everyone had on their mind.
.
~*~*~*~*~*~
.
As Kaiya dashed down the street, her first stop was the building she had
her job at. Knowing Shin, he probably messed up everything that involved
her life. And the first thing to go, would be her job.
"Oh Kaiya, what are you doing here? I thought you quit?" Her manager said
as she ran into his office panting. "We already replaced you. Im sorry.
Have a nice time in America." He said with a cheerful grin.
~*~few minutes later, after Kaiya left the office~*~
"Hey Shin, guess who just dropped by her old job."
"Perfect" came a snide vice from the other end. "Soon she'll have no place
to go, and she'll have to come home sooner or later."
::More evil laughing::
.
~*~*~*~*~
.
That afternoon, Kaiya went back to her place in the woods, where all of her
things were carefully hidden, and slung everything over her back. "There's
nowhere else to go. Shin ruined everything, I don't have a job, a school, a
home. I could always be a cat for the rest of my life. But what will I do
if I don't go to school and get a right education. All of my dad's efforts
would be lost." She said out loud to no one.
.
~*flashback*~
.
'Now honey, I want you to be brave. I have to leave you know, you're going
to go with aunt Kayo and her son Shin. Your going to live a happy life, get
a good education, go to collage, and have the life you deserve. Im sorry I
couldn't do more for you. I'm giving you all of my savings to you for your
future. I wish you well.' and with that, the life was drained from his
body, and her nightmare of a life started in Shins murderous grip.
"NO! STOP! Please! STOOOOOOP!" came her horrible memory of her unanswered
screams into the night.
.
~*End flashback*~
.
She wiped away a stray tear and rubbed an old scar on her shoulder at the
thought of that moment. 'I cant stand up to him, I tried that already, and
look what it got me. (Kaiya)' she thought to herself as she touched the
three marks of her cheek. But dispite this, she got up her courage and made
a vow to herself that she wasn't giving up. Besides, she still hadn't told
Kyo what she came to tell him in the first place. The whole reason to why
she even bothered staying around the other Sohmas, other then the fact that
they hid her from Shin and the 'others'.
"Kaiya?" came a familiar voice from behind her.
"What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you the same thing." At the site of all of her stuff on
her back he asked, "Now where do you think your going? Running away? Gone
scared. One little thing happens and you run away scared. At least stay
here and kick his ass or something."
Kaiya had to smile. Was Kyo really asking her to stay?
"Yeah, and I would, but where would I stay? I cant be a cat forever."
"Hum."
"Kaiya!" came an excited/surprised yell, from none other, then Tohru. "Kyo,
you found her. How did you know she would be in the forest?"
"Just a hunch." He said with a grin.
"So what are you going to do Kaiya?"
"Well looks like Im moving cause other wise I have nowhere to stay."
"OH! Kyo-kun! Maybe she could come stay with us!" she said excitedly. "Oh,
but I hope Shigure-san wont mind, it is his house. I shouldn't say such
ideas out loud without asking Shigure-san first." She said kind of.more
sadly then she had just been.
"Well then lets go ask." Said Kyo in his normal tone, not wanting to sound
so eager.
"Uh.are you sure its not too much trouble? I don't want to intrude."
"Oh don't worry, just go ask him, how could that hentai-inu say no to
another girl living with him?" Kyo said, and without thinking he grabbed
Kaiya's stuff that were now on the ground and headed to Shigure's house.
'he better say yes(Kyo)'
.
~*~Shigures House~*~
.
"Tadaima!" Tohru announced.
"O cainasai!" Shigure said happily as he went to the door to great them.
"Oh Kaiya, I didn't know you were coming today! What a pleasant surprise!"
"Shigure-san? I was just wondering."
"Yes, what is it?"
"Um.how should I ask? Well.um. Can Kaiya stay here?" Tohru asked timidly.
Ok, now Shigure was a bit confused, at first he thought that Kaiya was just
coming over for a little visit, then he thought she was staying the night,
but when he saw Kyo drag in a HUGE backpack thing, (you know, the kind you
use for hiking and stuff. The ones that are as big as like half your body.)
He knew he was going to have another Tohru incident on his hands. And he
was overjoyed.
.
When Kaiya saw the confused look on his face, she feared the worst, but
when the look turned into a smile, she didn't know what to expect from the
inu.
"Well of Course you can stay!" Shigure exclaimed like it was the most
obvious thing in the world. "Why, how could I turn you down?! I'm so glad
that my humble home will be the refuge for another lost stray." He said
rather dramatically.
"He's been spending too much time with Ayame." Kyo muttered to the two
girls. They both laughed a bit before turning a bit more serious.
"But Shigure-san, how am I to pay for staying here? I lost my job, and I
cant take away Tohrus roll in the house. How can I possibly accept this?"
"Well. hum.I know! You can be my personal assistant. You know, run errands,
give me ideas, sort things, that kind of thing. That's enough for me. But
we have to ask Akito. See if it's ok with him."
"Oh really! Thank you so much!" Kaiya was so happy she totally forgot the
curse and jumped into Shigures arms and hugged him.
"What? No poof?" Shigure said amazed
"What's going on?" Tohru asked confused.
"Oh crap." Kyo and Kaiya said together.
"Now we really need to speak with Akito. Right away." Shigure said more
seriously then before. And they all hopped in the car and headed to the
Sohma main house.
'Akito? No, this isn't happening. Shin. I have to get out of here!' Kaiya
thought franticly.
