((sigh)) Okay, someone in my house ((coughmakaylacough)) didn't understand the last chapter. Yeah, it was pretty confusing. Sorry about that. Well, what happened was Kass started her period (cramps. Ouch) and Haru tried to cheer her up but it didn't work so he went out with Rin because he thought Kass was mad at him. Shigure explains Haru and Rin's relationship in the meanest way possible to make Kass upset. It works, she pouts, then they find a kitten! Sorry about the kitten thing. Sorta random there.

And those of you who don't know who Rin is, she is the horse of the zodiac (I think she's the horse. Right?). She's Haru's ex. Yeah. So naturally Kass would be upset. ((winkwink)) Especially with Shigure making things worse.

Standard disclaimers apply. (I'm really getting sick of putting that.)

"So!" Tohru shouted with excitement. "What should we name her?"

"Oh! Oh! I know!" Kass cried out, raising her hand as they giggled. "Name her puramu!"

"Plum?" Kyo asked. "What kinda name is plum?"

"A cute name." Kyo stared at her. "Fine. We won't name her plum!" Kass said, sticking her tongue out at Kyo.

"How about suiren?" Tohru suggested.

"Water lily? C'mon, it's a cat," Kyo grumbled. Why name a cat after something that lives in the water when they hate water? Girls never ceased to amaze him. Or confuse him.

"Fine, Mr. Picky. What about snow?" Kass asked. "Since she's white?"

"What does 'snow' mean?" Tohru asked. (A/N: Kass said snow in English, btw.)

"Yuki," she translated.

"Hell no!" Kyo said, standing up. "You are not naming that kitten yuki!"

"Calm down! I didn't say yuki, I said snow!"

"Same difference!"

"Ugh! You are so... ugh!" Kass screamed.

"Maybe... tsuki?" Tohru said timidly. Kass and Kyo turned at the same time and stared for a while. Then they turned back towards each other.

"You got a problem with 'moon,' too, Mr. Picky?" Kass muttered, glaring. Kyo just growled and walked off.

"Tsuki it is then!" Kass said with a smile.

Tsuki trotted along after Kass, batting at the trailing legs of her baggy pants. Kass giggled and picked her up. The small animal started purring and snuggling up under Kass's neck. She giggled some more and put the cat back down beside her.

She put a small bowl full of cat food they had just bought down in front of Tsuki. She watched in awe as the little thing gobbled down the entire bowl in less than fifteen seconds.

"Man, you were hungry weren't you?" Kass said, picking up the bowl and petting Tsuki lightly. "When was the last time you had a meal?"

Tsuki purred under her touch and weaved between her feet, rubbing up against her shoes. Kass couldn't help whispering, "You're so cute!"

"Thanks."

"Ah! Whoa. Sorry. I didn't know anyone else was here." She laughed nervously. It was Haru.

"Hatori told me you were upset yesterday." Tsuki had trotted over to him and was now sniffing his shoes. He picked her up and scratched behind her ears, making her purr softly. (A/N: I love kittens! They're so friendly!)

"I was not upset."

"He said you asked Shigure about Rin...." He trailed off, now scratching under Tsuki's chin. She sighed, waiting for him to continue. "He said that was really stupid."

"Ugh!" Kass through her arms up into the air. This was the third time today someone had implied that she was stupid. She sat down at the table and collapsed onto it. Tsuki jumped out of Haru's hands and trotted over to her.

"And anyway, whatever Shigure said was probably greatly exaggerated. I think I'm finally over Rin." Kass wondered how he could just come out and talk about his personal life like that, even if it was just that one little thing. The only person she ever said ANYTHING to was her little sister. No one else ever finds out about her feelings, not even her best friends. She started thinking about that, but Tsuki wouldn't let her.

The cat kept crawling over her back and finally settled on her head. She curled up and went to sleep. Kass glared at her and plucked her out of her hair, putting her on the floor.

"I'm leaving in two weeks," she said suddenly. "One and a half, actually. Next Wednsday."

"I know. Hatori told me."

"Oh. Ok then..." They trailed off into silence, when suddenly-

"Kass!" Momiji screamed, bounding into the room. "Let's go out somewhere!"

"Okay, Momiji!" She smiled as Tsuki leapt at Momiji. "Where to?"

"To the park!" he replied, throwing his arms into the air.

"Okay!" Kass stood and ran out of the room with Momiji, then ran back in. "Do you wanna come, Haru?"

"Sure," he said, standing and following the others out.

"Where did the kitty come from, Kass?" Momiji asked when Tsuki jumped at him and attached herself to his knee-high socks.

"Oh, she just showed up one day and Shigure said we could keep him." Haru and Momiji glanced at each other, then Momiji was thrown into a fit of laughter as Tsuki crawled up his sock.

"She tickles!" Kass plucked Tsuki off of Momiji and put her back by her refilled bowl of food.

"Stay here, Tsuki!"

"No! It's a sign of the apocalypse!" some random person shouted, waving their arms around in the air as they ran down the street in front of Shigure Sohma's house. The three friends had just come outside when the person suddenly appeared on their street. They stared at each other, then Kass suddenly took off after the person, screaming: "Ah! Someone save us! We're all gonna die!"

"Hm..." Tohru couldn't read the writing on the front of this letter. She was sure it was in English (because of the numbers) but she felt like it wasn't just for Kass. She took out a Japanese/English English/Japanese dictionary that Kass had given her and flipped through, translating slowly. She finally figured out the first line and found that it was for Kass's temporary guardian while she was in Japan. She took it to Shigure, who also couldn't read English.

(A/N: How the heck was it delivered if it was in English?... Oh well.)

They spent the next few hours deciphering with Kyo and Yuki (who was doing most of the deciphering) while Kass was out with Haru and Momiji. Even though it was just a few sentences, once they got it done it didn't make much sense so they had to rearrange it a bit. It was still a bit confusing, but they were all able to figure out what it meant.

Tohru gasped and put her hands to her mouth when she read the completed message. Shigure lost his grin (for once). Kyo and Yuki appeared emotionless, but all were troubled and concerned for their friend.

"How do we tell her? How can we just suddenly pull her aside and tell her that?" Kyo asked softly, mostly asking himself, while they all gawked at the message.

Next Chapter:

"Whoa! Hold the phone!"

"I am not crying!"

"Thank you, Haru."

Oo! What a cliffy! I'm so evil! But don't worry, my writer's block has temporarily left me and I finished chapter nine before I started this one. Freaky.... Anyway that means that chapter nine will be up within two days because I'm lazy and don't want to put it up now. (Oh I'm so mean! 3)

Did you like my randomness? Ah... I was probably that random person running down the street. Tee hee! I'm gonna do that this Halloween. I got it all planned out. I'm gonna dress up so no one recognizes me and then take off down the road! ((starts laughing hysterically))

OOO!! I just got volume four yesterday (of the Fruits Basket manga, of course) and I've fallen in love with Ayame! Not love, love, but he's now my favorite character (besides Haru, that is)! Whoo! Okay, enough of my pointless gibberish.
