Chapter 4: Ayame Drops By

Kyo stood up. "I'm going to room. If anyone cares to talk, they can talk from outside my room." He then stormed off down the hallway.

Sakura sighed and smiled at Yuki. "I'll go calm him down."

"Good luck with that." Yuki grinned.

Shigure entered the living area to find Sakura leaving. "Where is she going?"

"To go calm Kyo down. He stormed off." Yuki said as he picked up another card then laid one down.

Shigure sighed. "He's so short tempered...Oh well, he'll cool off soon enough."

Ame smiled at Shigure and nodded. She laid her cards down and began to dance around. "I win, I win!"

Yuki blinked then looked at his hand. "How so?"

Ame sat back down and showed her hand to them. ((A/N: They're playing poker.)) "See? I have a royal flush! That means I win!" She smiled.

Yuki sighed. "Oh well. Let's play again."

Sakura walked to Kyo's door and knocked lightly. "Kyo-kun?"

"What do you want?" He asked gruffly.

"Kyo, I just want to talk." She sat down at his door.

She heard him sigh. "What do you want to talk about?"

Sakura paused. She then stood up. "Would it be ok if I came in? I would really rather talk to you face to face."

Kyo slowly stood up from his bed and opened his door. "Don't tell the others I let you in."

Sakura nodded and entered his room. She sat down on his bed.

"So, what did you come talk to me for?" He leaned against the wall.

She shrugged lightly. "I didn't want you to be in a bad mood the rest of the evening. I thought that maybe I could help you calm down." She smiled lightly.

He grunted and turned away. "That stupid rat is always so annoying!"

"Maybe you two should try and get along." Sakura stood up and walked over to him. "I'm sure you could learn to get along with him Kyo-kun."

He snorted. "Yeah right...There's no way he and I could ever get along." He spun around and looked at Sakura. "Thanks for talking to me though." He grinned.

She smiled at him. "No problem." She walked towards his door. "Well, I'm going to go change for bed. G'night Kyo."

He grabbed her wrist and stared at her for a moment. "Good-night Sakura..." He let go of her wrist.

She walked out of his room and blushed. 'What was that feeling I felt just now...' She glanced at his door and then sighed. She walked into Tohru's room and began to change. Once in her pajamas, she felt something move inside her clothes. She gasped and felt it slowly sliding up her leg. She then screamed.

Kyo, Yuki, Tohru, Ame, and Shigure ran to Tohru's room to see what the commotion was about.

"What's wrong?" Yuki asked.

"S-s-s-snake!" She screamed. "Get it off! Get it off!"

Ame quickly ran to her sister and grabbed the snake. She then tossed it to the floor.

Kyo growled and picked it up. "What the hell do you think you're doing Ayame!"

Yuki growled. "Shigure, get me a knife now..."

"Now, now settle down Yuki." Shigure took Ayame from Kyo before her strangled him. "Don't kill him. That wouldn't be very nice."

"What he didn't wasn't very nice either!" Sakura screamed.

Kyo glared at Ayame. 'How dare he touch her! Wait, what do I care! She's just another girl anyways! Or is she something more...' He glanced at Sakura and then looked back at Ayame.

Tohru sighed. "Alright, take him into the other room so he can change into his human form." She looked at Yuki. "Yuki, you stay here. I don't need you to kill him." She smiled.

Yuki glared at his brother and then turned his back to him.

Shigure sighed. "C'mon you." He then walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

Sakura sat down on Tohru's bed. "Who is that?"

"That's Yuki's older brother, Ayame." Tohru answered. "They don't get along to well."

She nodded. "Oh I see."

Shigure entered the room about 5 minutes later with Ayame.

"Hello." Ayame smiled.

Kyo growled and walked up to him. "What do you think you were doing going into her clothes!"

He merely smiled. "I was only looking for warmth."

"Go find warmth somewhere else then!"

Sakura grabbed Kyo's wrist. "Down boy."

Kyo glared at Ayame.

"I decided to drop by to tell you that Akito isn't very happy with you three. No one besides Tohru was allowed to know the secret about our family." He directed his gaze at Sakura and Ame.

"Well..." Tohru sighed.

"What's done is done. The only way to get rid of this is to erase their memories of ever having encountered this." Ayame stated.

"Erase their minds! You can't do that!" Kyo yelled.

"I can't but Hatori can."

"You just can't do that to them! They're having a hard enough time!"

Sakura stood up. "Listen, we swear on our lives that we won't tell anyone. If we do, you have the right to kill us."

Ame swallowed hard at what her sister said but nodded in agreement. "We won't tell. We promise."

"You're promises mean nothing to Akito." Ayame sighed. "But that is the best that you can do." He smiled gently.

Sakura smiled back.

"So, what are your new friends names?"

"I'm Ame and this is my twin sister, Sakura." Ame smiled.

"Please to meet you." Sakura bowed.

"The pleasure is all mine." Ayame smiled. "Such pretty girls. They're as pretty as Tohru."

Yuki growled. "Aaya, leave them alone."

"What? I'm complimenting them dear little brother."

Sakura, Ame, and Tohru blushed.

Ayame looked at Kyo. "Oh, how are you Kyoin ((sp?))?"

"I told you not to call me that!"

"Oh, I forgot." He smiled. "So, how are you lovely ladies? Are these three treating you right?"

"Don't even start with that Ayame." Shigure smiled.

He shrugged. "Alright then. Well, I guess I'm going to spend the night. It's too cold to go back." He walked over to Tohru. "Can I sleep in your room?" He cupped her cheek lightly.

Tohru blushed madly.

"No you cannot!" Yuki yelled. "You're sleeping with Shigure."

He grinned. "Oh goody!"

Shigure sighed. "Alright, I'm going to head to bed now. I'll leave the door unlocked for you Ayame." He left Tohru's room, shutting the door after him.

Sakura sat down on Tohru's bed and sighed. She closed her eyes and when she opened them again, she found that Ayame was in her face. "Umm...Hello." She smiled.

"Hello. You're Sakura correct?" He sat down beside her.

Kyo growled lightly and turned away. He began to mumble things under his breath.

She nodded. "Yep." She glanced at Kyo and then looked back at Ayame.

He glanced at Kyo and then grinned. "Does someone have a crush on someone else?" He whispered to her.

She blushed lightly. "Ayame, leave me alone."

He shrugged. "Just asking."

Sakura stood up. "Excuse me..." She left Tohru's room and walked outside. She sat down and looked up at the moon to see it was full. She sighed lightly.

Kyo watched her leave. "Well, I'm going to bed. G'night everyone." He left the room but went outside instead. He looked at Sakura sitting there looking up at the moon. He watched the moonlight reflect off her face and make her hair shimmer. He caught himself staring at her. He quickly shook his head and walked over to her. "Kind of a cold night, isn't it?"

She jumped slightly at the sound of his voice. "Kyo, I didn't know you were out here." She smiled up at him.

He grinned and sat down beside her. "So, what did Ayame say to you to make you leave Tohru's room?"

She sighed. "Nothing..." She looked up at the moon.

"Well he must've said something. You can tell me." He leaned back on his arms.

Sakura looked over at Kyo and then looked at the ground. "Well, he said something about me and well I just didn't like it..."

He sighed. "Well what did he say?"

She blushed lightly. "He asked me if I had a crush on someone in that room..."

Kyo stared at her. "Did you tell him who it was?"

She shook her head. "No..."

"Oh." He looked at the sky.

Sakura stood up. "Well, I think I should be going to bed." She smiled at Kyo. "Good-night again Kyo-kun."

He stood up and grinned. "Night." He watched her walk back inside and soon found himself wondering. 'Could the guy she like be me?' He shrugged his shoulders and sighed. He took one last look at the moon and then walked back inside. He walked into his room and climbed into his bed. 'I wonder who she likes...' He yawned and fell asleep.
