Hihi peoples! I regret to inform you that this is the last chapter of my wonderful story. I know, you're devastated. Well I guess I'll just write another story then. But anyway, one of the reviewers mentioned Kagura. I don't know I didn't put her in when I was writing, either I didn't on purpose, or I just plain forgot. Sorry to all you Kagura fans. And also, sorry to all of the people who've suggested things, you've got really great ideas, but I've had this written for awhile, I've just been lazy, and haven't posted. SORRY! Oh! The disclaimer. I've kinda forgotten. So here it is. I DON'T OWN! I WOULDN'T BE WASTING MY TIME WRITING FANFICTIONS IF I WERE A RICH AND SUCCESSFUL MANGA ARTIST! Sooooo, for your entertainment, the last chapter...

CHAPTER EIGHT: CHANGES

Kyou's eyes popped open, and he yawned a great big yawn. What time is it? He checked his alarm, and it said five a.m. Now what am I gonna do? Tohru doesn't wake up for and hour, and I don't need to start training for till five thirty. He glanced around the room, and found an orange notebook on his dresser, with a note sitting on top. It read:

Kyou,

Even though you like to keep you feelings bottled up, I thought that it might help to record them here. Best of luck with Tohru.

As always,

Shigure

Things keep getting stranger and stranger! Why did Shigure give me a diary? And why is he being nice to me? Well, I best put it to use. Here goes...

From the Journal of Kyou Sohma

Dear Journal,

Hi. My name is Kyou Sohma. I'm sixteen years old. My hair is orange. My eyes are red. Yes, it's natural. Um, I have a girlfriend. Her name is Tohru. I can't hug her though. Why? My family is curse. Thirteen of us are possessed by spirits of the Chinese Zodiac. I'm the cat. The outcast. Tohru and I can't hug because whenever a Sohma hugs someone outside the Zodiac, of the opposite sex, we transform into whatever our animal is. It really sucks. I want to hug her, I really do. I love Tohru so much. She's the only one that's ever accepted me. Whenever she's in trouble, it breaks my heart. But enough of that sappy stuff. Uh, I like martial arts, manga, fish, anything milk flavored, and Tohru. Yeah, well, more later. I guess.

Kyou Sohma

Back to Reality

Tohru ran outside, looking for Kyou. She looked everywhere, but didn't see anything. She paused, listening for the sound of something breaking, or Kou shouting, but there was nothing. That's odd. Kyou's usually training right now. Tohru went back inside, only to find Kyou sitting at the table, drinking milk. "Kyou, why aren't you training?"

Kyou blushed. "I was writing in my journal."

"I didn't know you had a journal! But it's wonderful Kyou! It really is!"

"Shigure gave it to me."

"Well, I'm proud of you." Tohru beamed, and kissed Kyou's cheek.

Again, Kyou blushed. "Yeah, so what's for breakfast?"

"Leeks."

"LEEKS?!? HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME? I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND!"

"I know that Kyou-kun, but you'll never beat Yuki if you don't eat your leeks. They're good for you. They'll make you strong."

"Hmph. You're lucky that I'm in love with you," Kyou said, and then his eyes widened, and he blushed even redder. "WHAT? I told you that I loved you the other night on the roof!"

"You didn't say that you were in love with me."

"There's a difference?"

"Yes."

"Whatever."

"Go get Yuki, and tell him breakfast is ready."

"Whatever."

:D :P :D

Kyou, Tohru, and Yuki walked to school like they normally did, taking their normal route, talking about normal things.

"Hey Yuki-kun, did you see that show about gardening I told you about?" Tohru asked with a smile.

"Oh yes, it was wonderful! I learned so much! Thank you for telling me about it."

"You're very welcome. Kyou did you..." Tohru trailed off, realizing that everyone was staring at her, Kyou, and Yuki.

"That Honda girl is such a slut," Ayaki's best friend, Maiya, said.

"I know! She lives with the Prince and Orangey! It's like, a miracle that she's not pregnant by now!" Another random person said.

Tohru's eyes widened with shock, and then filled with tears, and Kyou clenched his fists. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" he screamed, clearly disgusted. "IT'S NO WONDER THAT YUKI DOESN'T LIKE YOU!" Kyou glared at the two girls, and went after Tohru, who was still running.

"Tohru, WAIT!" Tohru turned around to see Kyou, and sat down on a fountain. "Don't listen to them. They're just jealous."

Tohru sniffed. "I know, but why? No one except Uo and Hana know that I live with you and Yuki! And what's the big deal about that?"

Kyou wiped a tear from Tohru's cheek and sighed. "Dammit Tohru, they're part of the Yuki fan club, for god's sake! Of course they're gonna be jealous that someone that doesn't even like Yuki lives with him!"

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But I can't go back now!"

"Tohru, are you alright?" Yuki was running towards her, looking angry.

"I'm fine now Yuki. Thanks."

"I'm so sorry! This is all our fault."

"No Yuki, it's not your fault."

"But-

Yuki was cut off as Uo and Hana came rushing over. "TOHRU! What happened? We saw some fan club girls laughing, you running away, and then Kyou and Yuki running after you," Uo said, looking worried. Kyou looked at her, and then explained the whole story. "THOSE BITCHES! LET ME GO GIVE THEM A PIECE OF MY MIND!"

"Yes, let me shock them," Hana put in.

"No, let's just go home."

:D :P :D

Yuki took one careful look at his garden. I wonder what tomorrow will bring. We'll probably get in trouble for cutting class, and the Fan Club will probably- Yuki cut himself off as he walked into a door.

"Stupid rat," Kyou commented, looking up from the manga he was reading.

Yuki ignored this, and turned to face his romantic rival. "Where's Tohru?"

"Sleeping. She looked worn out, so I told her that I would cook."

"Thanks," Yuki said, his voice no more than a whisper. Kyou looked up, clearly in shock.

"You're welcome?"

Yuki thought it sounded strange, coming from Kyou, and told him so. He trudged up the stairs, towards his room, when he heard a noise coming from Tohru's room.

"Mom..."

She was on her bed, sleeping peacefully. In her arms was a stuffed cat, and all of the other animals of the Zodiac lay around her, waiting for their turn. All except, Yuki noticed, the rat. That was when Yuki Sohma knew that he was in for some changes.
