Author's note: Hi. I know this fan fiction's weird. Please enjoy it though. Kyo gets happier in this chapter.

Kyo woke up in the familiar hay lump he usually slept in. It seemed colder than usual though. He then realized that he was once again human and had changed from his neko form. He quickly put on his kimono and hakama.
As he made his way downstairs, Kyo suddenly remembered the previous day's events. Embarrassment and guilt and anger overwhelmed him. A heavy blush coated his face. He slunk down the stairs and hid at the rail. Everyone was at the table, enjoying eggs.
Yuki sat next to Kisa who had cuddled up to him. On Yuki's other side was Honda-san. She looked radiant and happy. Kyo hated it.
How could she be happy? He couldn't stand her optimism. She should have stormed away and never come back to Sohma dojo once Kyo had tackled her. That's what he would have done in her position.
She, instead, stayed and held no grudges. He hated it...and yet...he felt relief.
As he watched, Honda-san turned her head in his direction. For a second, their eyes locked. Kyo was sure that she would yell and everyone would cringe at his name and Yuki would kill him. Honda-san instead smiled at him and didn't draw any attention to him at all.
"Honda-san...What are you looking at?" Yuki asked, turning his head in the direction of Kyo.
Honda-san quickly dropped her chopsticks. Yuki looked down and picked them up.
"I'll get you another pair," Yuki smiled and got up. Kyo silently thanked Honda-san.
It was raining again...
The rest of the samurai-in-training went to the larger dojo.
Kyo sat on the roof of the smaller dojo, meditating again. The rain pelted down harder than ever , but Kyo kept strong. He must win his self control back. Hatori wasn't back from Akito's yet. Maybe he could prove to everyone that he wasn't such an insolent neko. Maybe.
"Are you up here all alone?" a voice suddenly sounded.
"KYAAAAAA!!!" Kyo yelled in surprise and crab-crawled to the other side of the roof. Realizing it was only Honda-san, Kyo blushed at the stupidity of it all.
"Gomen nasai. I didn't mean to scare you..." Honda-san said apologetically. She held out a bowl of something out to him.
"Don't apologize, Honda-san. I'm the one who should be sorry..." Kyo murmured.
"Please take this rice. I bet you're hungry...You didn't eat breakfast or dinner yesterday," Honda-san said, holding the bowl out more.
"I'm not hungry. I deserve to starve," Kyo mumbled. He felt so stupid. He shouldn't be saying stuff like this to her.
"No one deserves to go hungry," Honda-san offered the bowl once more. This time, Kyo took it. It was the least he could do. Slowly, he began to eat the rice. It was like heaven.
"This...is so good!" Kyo exclaimed between mouthfuls.
Honda-san smiled and took a seat next to him on the roof. She placed a hand on his shoulder. Warmth radiated from that point, like an expanding ripple. Kyo blushed a little instinctively.
"Neko-chan. I'm not mad at you for yesterday. I understand how it must be to be an outcast among outcasts."
"I'm sick of the name 'neko'," Kyo spat irritably.
"Gomen nasai!" Honda-san bowed her head in apology. "Ah...anou..."
"Kyo..." Kyo grunted. The rain made him irritable along with the stress of everything else. He hated this rain, this pain, and this hate inside of him. He wanted it all to go away.
He took another mouthful of rice. It was like water on dry desert sand. A relief.
"Were you meditating up here? But it's raining..." Honda-san asked.
"I meditate up here everyday. I'm not allowed to go in the larger dojo. #&% Akito..." Kyo growled. He knew he shouldn't curse Akito but...It didn't matter now...He was definitely going to get kicked out of the dojo. No amount of optimism could change his mind now. His fate was sealed.
"I'm...I'm...going to get expelled...I guess..." Kyo said defeatedly. Next to him, he heard Honda-san sigh. She was confused. It didn't matter to him. "Before this...I broke the code of the samurai. All my honor gone in one swing...I attacked a kid from behind. He just reminded me so much of that...that..."
"Yuki...?" Honda-san asked, her voice filled with sincere sympathy.
"Hai...I hate him. He is so perfect. He doesn't understand my pain and he complains about how hard his own life is. He somehow is stronger than me...Though I've been training longer than him....I hate him...so much..." Kyo said. He felt calm now. The anger within him wafted out into the rainy sky.
"I have no time left here. After I leave...I'll have no chance to survive. I'm just a stupid samurai in training..."
"Don't worry. You don't even know if you're being expelled...I don't know much about the way your family runs things...but...look on the bright side!" Honda-san smiled at him. Raindrops dripped over her lips. She looked so pretty. When he looked into her face and listened to her words...Yuki...Akito...the dojo...it all seemed very far away.
"Kyo-san...Please call me Tohru-chan..." Tohru turned away from him, blushing.
"Tohru...-chan..." Kyo repeated. He took another bite.
