You're cuter as a cat
whooo.
its dannie again. yeah. maria puts me in charge of typing it up when
she doesnt feel like. once again, we both wrote different parts of
this story.
disclaimer: i love hatori. i wish he were mine. if
only.
time passed by,
and yuki accompanied tohru as she took down the clean sheets she had
washed to dry.
"tohru?"
"yes, yuki?"
"you
know, i've been thinking, we've never really been on a date yet, have
me?"
"huh? oh well..." tohru stammered. "i
guess you're right..."
"tohru," yuki dropped the
basket of clean sheets and from behind her, wrapped his arms around
her waist. he kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear,
"let's
go on a date, just us."
tohru turned her head and looked
up at him lovingly. she blushed to see him smiling back and kissed
his chin.
"hmm... that's a great idea. i suppose we
could, but when?"
"tonight."
"tonight?
but what about every one else?" she looked up at him with
concern. he gave her a devilish smirk.
"that inu and the
neko can take care of themselves, and as for muyo-sam, i think she's
proven to us all that she can handle herself." tohru smiled
again,
"heh, that's true. well then, i guess its a date!"
she said cheerily. yuki gave her another smile; he leaned down to
kiss her, and tohru stood on her toes to return the
kiss.
it
had been ahile since shigure had heard anyone in the house. he got up
from his computer and stretched. he decided to find the four
youngsters.
he walked into the living room to find it empty.
there were no smells in the kithen, so tohru wasn't cooking. he
looked out the window to the backyard and saw tohru and yuki by the
clothes line. at the moment, it didn't look like they were taking
down linens. yuki was behind her, arms wrapped around her waist while
whispering something into her ear. 'hmm..i COULD be mean and go
outside. but i'm too lazy.'
he walked away and started up the
stairs. 'two down, two more to go.' he couldn't hear any shower
running, or any snoring in the bedrooms. 'i would hope muyo-san
doesn't snore,' he chuckled to himself. he knew he should search the
roof for the neko.
'ugh. i'm getting too old for this,' he
thought as he finally reached the roof. he smiled, at what he
found.
kyo had fallen asleep. but what had amused him was rika
sleeping on top of him. she was curled up with her head on his
stomach. her head was slightly cradled into one of kyo's arms.
shigure turned to head back into the house.
'oh boo,' he
mockingly thought to himself. 'kyo-kun beat me to
her.'
rika
opened her eyes only to see clouds in the sky. it was getting late,
and the sky looked slightly darker than when she fell asleep
earlier.
'how long have i been sleeping?' she lifted her arm
so that her wrist was in view. she looked at her watch to read that
it was a few minutes pass four. 'hmm..i 've been asleep for an hour?
well, it was pretty comfy up here.' she turned her head to see the
face of a sleeping kyo.
'oh that's right, i was reading and
got comfortable.' she thought about how surprised he looked when she
had nestled her self with him.
'hmm...he looks so cute
sleeping.'
she scooted up closer and layed her head on his
chest. she could hear his heartbeat; it made her smile for some
reason. rika saw how the light wind had played with his hair. she
propped herself up with her arm resting on his firm chest. with her
free hand, she swept back his flying hair, resting her hand at the
back of his head.
suddenly, rika felt something grab on to her
wrist. she looked down to see it was kyo's hand.
"do you
always touch people in their sleep?" rika quickly looked back to
see kyo's face, his eyes were still closed. she leaned forward. 'did
he just say something?'
"just wake up?"
kyo
moved forward, colliding into a kiss with rika. she was taken by
surprise, but didn't stop him. they continued kissing, until kyo
opened his eyes and realized just what he was doing. he broke the
kiss and sat up to face him. they just stared at each other. he
looked into her confused green eyes, she looked into his also
confused maroon eyes.
they didn't realize it, but they were so
drawn to each other, unknowingly getting closer. they continued to
stare in silence until they slowly closed the gap between them. they
continued to lean forward, and soon their lips were touching again.
when rika's mouth was slightly parted, kyo took it as an invitation
to explore her mouth with his tongue. rika put her arms around his
neck as she put his around her waist. he tried to keep his distance
from her, but he desperately wanted to hold her, and had a feeling
she wanted to do the same.
'who would've expected this? does
he really like me? the other night i was just teasing, is this
payback? no it can't be. i'm liking this too much. but...why is he
holding back? its like..he doesn't want to hold me too
close.'
without warning, rika broke the kiss and pulled him
in. kyo didn't know what was going on until he felt her
embrace.
'this feels nice!' she thought.
'she's so
warm, wait.. why haven't i-'
POOF
a cloud of orange smoke
scattered on the roof top and rika found herself holding an orange
cat.
rika was wide eyed. she looked down at the cat in
confusion. 'where was kyo? what's with this cat? his clothes are all
over the place!'
"kyo?"
kyo looked up at her
in his cat form, he saw a hurt and confused look in her eyes. he
looked away yelling "dammit!"
rika gasped; she stood
up and put the cat on the roof.
"kyo? is that you in
there? wh-what happened?" she whispered, trying to remain calm.
kyo let out a sigh.
"well, at lteast you're not too
freaked out. tohru could've killed herself when SHE found out."
"huh?
ok kinda confused here, what? how? why?" rika sat back down, and
stared at the cat. kyo let out another sigh.
"ok,
so-"
POOF
There kyo stood naked before rika. and because
she was much less modest and very much more forward than her cousin,
she looked him up and down and grinned.
"nice, VERY
nice!"
kyo wasn't one to blush, at least not in front of
people. he turned around; rika was now looking at him from behind.
her smile widened. 'just as good,' she thought contentedly.
"uh,
do you mind?"
"oh no! not at all!" she said
sarcastically. still smiling, she leaned back onto the roof and
propped herself up with her elbows. he turned to look at her again
and found her smiling ear to ear.
"what the hell are you
staring at!"
"the birds and the bees. you, stupid! i'm
enjoying the show!"
"what show?!?!"
"you
know, this cute little show you've been putting on. kissing me in
your sleep, turning into a cat, and of course this little naked tease
thing you're giving me. i must say, you really know how to entertain
your guests!" kyo put his pants on; his shirt had fallen off the
roof.
'lucky for me,' rika thought.
kyo took a deep breath
and sat by her side. he didn't look her in the eye until she put her
hand on his knee and rested her head on his shoulder. she looked up
at him, and he returned the stare. he couldn't help it, he looked
down at her neck and went for it. she smiled, but pulled away.
"so,
how'd you do it? you know, that little cat trick. i must say, it was
really cute. can you do it again?" he looked at her like she was
crazy.
"what the hell for?" she kissed him and
whispered,
"you know, foul language really isn't neccessary."
kyo frowned. she pulled away and pouted her lip.
"please???"
she
was so cute, even he couldn't resist. he smiled and hugged her. soon
there was a cat in rika's lap purring away.
"aww! so
cute!"
"yeah yeah. bitch." she picked him up and
flicked the cat's nose.
"what did i saw about the
language eh?" she grinned. kyo gave a kitty looking grin. she
hugged the cat and scratched behind his ears. kyo began purring
again. rika liked the sound of his purring against her chest; it made
her happy.
"tell anyone i purr, and you die."
"gee,
that sounds so threatening coming from a little kitty cat."
after
awhile, she felt a drop on her head, and again on her leg. she looked
up as it began to rain. kyo groaned.
"the rain makes me
really weak." she stood up holding the cat in her arms, and bent
down to get her book and his pants. she went down the ladder with
everything under one arm. kyo made it easier for her by sitting on
her
shoulders.
shigure
began to hear raindrops pattering on the roof. 'i wonder if they got
down,' he thought. he already heard tohru and yuki enter before it
began to rain. they were in the living room. he could hear them
contemplating something.
"yuki! its raining! oh no, i
don't think we can go on out date now." she sounded
disappointed.
"nonsense. we'll bring umbrella. we're
going to a restarant anyways. besides, maybe it'll stop raining by
the time we leave the restaurant. cmon' tohru..." shigure heard
a kiss. he smiled.
"pleeeeease tohru?" he heard
tohru sigh.
"ok yuki."
'sigh...lovebirds.'
shigure smirked to
himself.
rika
carried the kitty into his room and set his pants on the
bed.
"thanks."
"you are SO cute as a cat!"
she squealed. "how long do you stay as a cat?"
"for
as long as you hug me? i dunno. it only happens when a girl hugs me.
yuki and shigure too. look, you can't say anything... i mean, you
really shouldn't know and stuff..."
"shh...carrot
top, don't worry." she rubbed his back as she set him on his
bed. his back arched into her hand. she stopped and looked at the
little kitty.
POOF
to rika's delight was another naked
kyo.
"you know, its not polite to stare." rika
didn't care.
"you know, i think i like you better as a
cat," she teased.
"really now? could a cat do
this..." he leaned forward and kissed her.
"well i guess
a cat could, but i wouldn't enjoy it as much." he grinned, and
kissed her again.
"oh, keep your pants on."
"can't
keep em on if i'm not wearing them to begin with." it was her
turn to giggle. she handed him his clothes.
"sorry about
your shirt. we'll get it after it stops raining." kyo had his
pants back on, and got up from the bed. he fumbled for a shirt in his
dresser. he found another black one and threw it on.
"you
know, no one's seen us in a good 2 or 3 hours. we might wanna make an
appearance downstairs." kyo nodded.
"let's go then."
he grabbed her hand and pulled her off the bed. they dragged
themselves downstairs. it was quiet, with the exception of shigure's
computer clacking. he heard his study door open, and saw kyo and rika
standing there.
"where's yuki and tohru?"
"ah.
our lovebirds went on their first date. its...so..cute!"
"a
date, eh?" rika smiled.
"so,i guess carrot top should
cook then."
"what! why the hell do I have to cook?"
"cuz
i lack any cooking ability whatsoever."
"some woman
you are." that earned him a smack on the head.
"oh
kyo, WOULD you be a dear and cook? you wouldn't want your cousin to
perish?" kyo walked away.
"i'm not gonna answer
that."
in
the kitchen, kyo was making riceballs. rika just watched him. she
started smiling.
"what the hell you smiling about?"
he looked at her. the teasing smile was secretly driving him
nuts.
"oh nothing. just thinking about how our first kiss was
here." kyo blushed.
"yeah...what the hell was with
that? you didn't even give me time to react!"
"not my
fault if you're slow." he pretended to get mad. he put down the
riceball and kissed her.
"my turn." he pulled her
close and nibbled her lip, before she parted her lips to allow his
tongue to enter. their tongue danced, and rika instinctively began to
move closer. kyo broke the kiss, pushing her back.
"oops.
sorry about that. i forgot."
soon the riceballs were
finished and kyo and rika headed to tohru's room. they left some cold
riceballs for shigure to eat.
upstairs in tohru's room, they
sat on the bed.
"soo... you graduate from
college...and...you're in a band?"
"yeah. it was the
parentals idea to go to college. it was fun though. i mean, you make
friends...and the college parties wwere wild..." kyo looked at
her. she nervously chuckled.
"well...the parties made
great band gigs." kyo relaxed. rika continued.
"so
yeah. i decided... i'm gonna try to find a job i guess. but i'm not
giving up my band. i love it too much. and...i came to tohru because
i figured she'd take me in no matter what. my parents aren't exactly
thrilled i'm gonna continue with my band. i never meant to intrude on
your family though. sorry about that..." she paused before going
on.
"...and sorry about giving you a hard time especially.
you just have that thing about you that makes you so easy to mess
with. its cuz you get so angry everytime...its adorable." she
hung her head down slightly... actually embarassed for once. kyo
lifted her chin and looked into her eyes.
"its
ok."
more
cuteness. i'm beginning to feel proud of myself. anyways, i think
next chapter maria will FINALLY write. but never fear, i'll still be
editing! and yeah. stuff.
.... love it? hate it? watever,
Review it!
