Twisted revolution

The next morning, Rika woke up in Kyos bed. She smiled to herself, and sighed,
"Morning carrot top."but kyo wasn't there. she looked up.she propped herself on her elbows to look at her watch. it
said 9:12. 'hmm... i'm up early...' she thought.'

she lazily sauntered to the balcony,and looked down. there he was, training of
course. she smiled,
'hmm... how hot would that be if he was training...say...shirtless?' and headed down the stairs. she could smell tohrus
cooking. she slowly walked over to were she was standing, and from behind
her, plopped her chin on Tohru's shoulder.

"hey, what's cookin cousin? literally..." tohru jumped. she turned around to see her blue streaked cousin smiling, her hair a mess.
"ahh! Rika? you scared me... good morning! you're up early, aren't you?" rika shrugged.
"heh, i guess i am, but what about you two? you guys always early birds? and ...
where yuki?" she asked as she lazily walked to the counter, leaning her back
against it.

"well, i'm up to cook breakfast. and well yuki... he's still sleeping...
he's not exactly a morning person. much like you. he'll fight anyone who
messes with him while he's still groggy! well, except for me, but especially
kyo."
"Really? he's always seems so calm all the time." Rika was shocked.
"Yeah, belive it or not, but he can even beat Kyo! and kyo is really strong
too, but Yuki doesn't train as much as kyo does. It ins't as important him
as kyo."
"wow... yeah...martial arts seems to be kyo's thing."
"mmhmm... but kyo, he loves it. Martial arts is one of his passions, he's
very dedicated to it. His dream is to become a master and run the dojo with
Kazuma."
"Kazuma?"
"Oh, that's kyo, yuki, kagura and hatsuharu's master, he trained them since
they were very young."
"Oh... Hatsu-Haru is...?"
"oh, that's another cousin."
"oh... well then continue.."
"oh, right! like i said, Kyo is very dedicated. He even ran away for three
months just to train with his master in the mountains, just the two of
them..."
"interesting..."
"uh-huh, he's out training now, he get's up as early as i do to train, then
sometimes after breakfast he goes out to train again."
"hmmm...."

Rika got up from where she was standing and went out onto the porch. she sat
down indian style, with her legs crossed on the edge of the porch. She
watched kyo with amazement.

As Kyo worked on his forms, he turned to go to his next position. he faced
the porch to see rika staring at him.
"oh, so you're awake then?" he asked sweating bullets. rika nodded.
"mhm."
he picked up a towel that he had previously placed there and wiped the
dripping sweat off his face and neck. he walked over to her and sat beside
her.

"You aren't gonna go all psycho on me like yesterday
are you?"
Rika laughed. " no, sorry about that, i'm sensitive when i'm really tired
like that."
"heh, i can tell!"

he began to lean in foreward to kiss her, but she pushed him away,
"EW! EW! EW! EW! EW!" she squealed.
"What?!?" kyo said annoyed.
"ugh! you're all gross and sweaty! i'm not gonna kiss you now! No way!" she
squinted really hard and acted completly grossed out. kyo looked really
annoyed, acting hurt,
"whatever!"

he began to get up, shaking his head.just then, she pushed, forcing him to the ground on his back. she hopped off the porch and pounced on him. now sitting on his stomach, she held a content look. she leaned down and kissed the tip of his nose. kyo gave her a kiddish grin which was returned with a quick smirk and got up. she giggled as he sat up.

"Well gotta get dressed! and you gotta shower!" she smiled again and walked
away. Kyo got up off the ground and watched as she disappeared into the
house.
'What a weird chick... ' he thought with a light smile. ' ihave no idea what it is about her...but she drives me crazy. and in both ways...good and bad...' he shook his head and continued his training.

'hmm.. i'm such a tease i know, but he's just so fun to mess with!' she
laughed again as she headed to tohru's room to change.

she put on a tank top that had a firey pattern on it, she put on some black pants, and a red fisherman hat (she had
alot of hats, and some the some in different colors.) she walked out of the
room and headed for the kitchen again.

"almost done tohru?"
"huh? oh yeah, do you mind setting the table for me?"
"nope, i'll do it."
"oh thanks!"
"no prob cuz.."

in about ten minutes the table was set, and food was almost done. she waited
in the kitchen so that she could help tohru bring out the food. when she
did, Yuki and Shigure had entered the room.
"Breakfast time! breakfast time! all for me, breakfast time!" Yuki rolled his eyes.
"Good morning Shigure! Good morning Yuki!" tohru cheerfully welcome the two.
"Good morning tohru." he gave her a peck on the cheek before sitting down. tohru flushed and sat down next to him. rika followed by sitting downacross from them.

kyo walked in, and took a seat away from the nezumi, which happened to be next to rika. rika turned her attention to kyo; his hair was wet. "just get out of you're bath?"

"huh?" he looked up.
"oh, yeah."
Rika laughed, "ah yes, it feels nice to be able to boss you around!"
"what the hell? i didn't bathe cause you told me too! i did it cause I felt
like it, woman!"

"shut up baka neko, why do you always have to yell?"
"KUSO NEZUMI!!!! I'LL YELL IF IF WANNA! YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO EITHER!
"like i said, shut up."

"ugh!!!!"
rika smiled at kyo; shigure, who hadn't been paying attention because he was
looking at the news paper, heard the commotion and lowered the paper slightly
to see. but the only thing in his view was rika's smile towards kyo.
'hmmm...'

after breakfast, the door bell rang. "I'LL GET IT!!!!!" tohru yelled on her
way to the door.

she opened the door to see five people before her; three male, two female.
The man in font of her was pretty tall, he had black spikey hair and dark
brown eyes. he spoke out. "hello?"

"huh? oh yes! um... sorry, may i help you?"
"um... yeah, our friend gave us this address..." he held out a small peice
of paper with the address, " so yeah... is like... Rika here?"

She looked at him quizzicaly for a moment, who was he? then she just
realized that he mentioned Rika.

"OH! gomen!!! rika! sorry, i should've known... hold on, i'll be bring her
right to you!" just then she ran off into the house.

the group of people looked at each other for a moment "yeah... she's
kinda.... weird...." a girl said.
"yeah, really..." a guy said.

"KUSO NEZUMI!!!!" all five people in the group shot their attention to the
door way, from there they saw someone with orange hair fly past the open
door. with eyes wide, they saw a young man with silver-ish hair walk by, but
he didn't notice them. he spoke,
"next time i won't hold back, baka neko." he
said calmly and walked away from sight.

kyo got up form his place on the floor and shook his head. he clenched his
fists "dammit."

up stairs

tohru walked into her room to find rika reading shigures novel.she didn't
get to finish the day before because she had fallen asleep.

"um rika?" rika looked up to see tohru standing in the doorway.
"yeah?"
"um... there are some people here to see you..."
"huh? who?"
"uh... 3 guys, and 2 girls..."
"what th- oh! that must be them!" she hurried off the bed and speedily
walked with tohru to the stairs.

"KUSO NEZUMI!!!!" Rika and tohru stopped at the top. they watched as yuki
kicked kyo in the head and sent him flying across the hall. Yuki spoke,
"next time i won't hold back, baka neko." and walked into
the living room. Rika and Tohru paused and looked at each other before
running down the stairs.

kyo got up form his place on the floor and shook his head. he clenched his
fists "dammit."

They both ran over to kyo and looked at him in concern. "Kyo! did
Yuki hurt you???" Tohru asked.
"Yeah! what the hell happend carrot-top?"

Kyo looked at the two of them, "I DON'T KNOW! WHY DON'T YOU ASK THAT DAMN
RAT, HUH?"

Yuki walked back into the hall. "Tohru, don't worry, Kyo was just being an ass again, i decided to shut him up, but unfortunetly i failed... he's still yelling...."

He smiled at tohru putting his arm around her shoulder, she looked up at him
with a goofy smile on her face. Rika looked at Yuki, "wow, go you... i guess.."

kyo looked at Rika and yelled at her while pointing to yuki, "HEY WHAT THE
HELL ARE YOU DOING TAKIN' HIS SIDE HUH?" rika looked back at him and smiled.
"aww... carrot-top is so sensitive... it's ok kyo.... i'm still here for
you!" she said is a girlish tone that annoyed the hell out of him.

"AH!!!! DAMMIT ALL!!!" kyo headed towards a small table that was in the
corner of the hall and smashed it into peices. Tohru screamed and yuki
sighed. "just leave me the hell alone!" he said as he walked away.
"don't mind him miss muyo, he's always like this."

Rika raised an eye brow and was about to go after him until she heard a
knocking noise. she turned in the direction of the noise and saw five very
confused faces looking at her.

"um... yeah... is this like a bad time or something rika?"

Rika gasped, "GUYS!!!!!!" she ran over to them and they gave her a group
hug.
"how did you guys get here??" Rika asked.
"yeah, you left an address... we got really lost, we finally got hold of directions... and then got lost again..."
"oh really? well that must of sucked huh?"
"yes actually, it did!" he said sarcasticly.

"WELL! come in come in! i should introduce everyone! uh... are you sure that it's ok... the people here seem very violent."

Shigure came down the stairs and into the hall. he had just takin a bath... "Rika-san! has kyo been bothering yuki again? i could've sworn i heard "kuso nezumi" while i was bathing..."

"well....." rikas eyes wanderd over to the broken table, shigures eyes followed.
"ah.... "shigure sighed.

"why must such young handsome and strong bachlors like themselves find no hobbies at all besides finding new ways to destroy my house?!" shigure said in an obvious girlish voice.

" i guess i'll go talk to kyo, i know where he'll be..." shigured sighed, then spoke under his breath, "eh, i'm getting too old for this..."

with that he headed for the roof, but when he was going towards the door he saw 5 figures staring at him. "well what do we have here?"

shigure slowly turned to rika for an exlaination.

"oh, gomen! i didn't introduce everyone! um, is it ok if i invite them in shigure-san?"
"oh... so they're you're friends then?"
"yes! they're the in the band! remember i told you a bit about them?"
"oh! yes, now i remember, well sure, if you know them, they're welcome in my home! well if you'll excuse me, i have to fetch a kitty off of the roof."

the group moved out of the way and made a path so that shigure could follow with out having anyone bump into anyone; this made shigures life a little easier... the group still felt very awkward still standing there.

"well you can come in now!" she took the hand of the guy in front of the other four and led him to the living room. the others followed. their they saw the cute girl that answered the door.
she was resting her head on the silver haired boy that the orange haired boy kept yelling at. they were both sitting on the couch; the boy stroking her hair softly with his fingers.
the two girls had to admit they were slightly jealous; getting a better look athim, they saw that he was really cute.

"tohru, yuki, i'd like you to meet TWISTED REVOLUTION!" Rika said startling the two.

they both looked up to see Rika with her arms spreadout and open towards the five people. the five looked at her like she was crazy, but rika had a huge grin on her face anyway.

"um.... Rika, do you think that's really nessesary?"questioned one of the members.

Tohru sat up from her position with yuki. "oh! so they're your friends? good, because i made some tea. "

she got up from the couch and scuttled to the kitchen. Rika told every one to have a seat, they all sat around the coffee table. a small crash came from the kitchen.

Yuki shot up from his place and bolted to the kitchen, Rika assured her bandmates, who gave her a concerned look.
"eh... she probably just tripped again..."

within seconds, both tohru and yuki came back into the room. tohru with a tray of jelly buns, and yuki with the tray with a teapot and cups. they all sat the table. "help yourself, all of you!"

"i was right wasn't i? you tripped."
"huh... no..well.. yes...i mean no, i did almost fell.." she blushed
"i went to get a tray for all the tea, but i dropped it... i picked it up already by the time yuki came in, then i had to get something on top of the shelf.. i lost my balance on the stool and started to fall, but yuki caught me! so i'm good..."
"oh, ok..."

"so any way's like i was say-" rika was cut off by the opening door.
it was kyo. he looked at strange group of people. and then at rika. "what the hell is going on here?"

"oh kyo come here, Rika was just introducing us to her friends... where's Shigure?"
kyo walked over and sat bettween Rika and Tohru; he tried his best to ignore the nezumi. He was still incredibly sore at yuki.

"that hentai inu? he went to the main house, he said something about seeing hatori."
"oh ok..."

"ANYWAYS!" Rika tried to continue because she kept on being interuppted.

"like i said these are my friends, and they're all in the same band as me. and since i'm not very good with speeches and what not, why don't we go around the table and say a bit about ourselves? name, age, blah blah blah...

' What the hell is this? the first day of kindergarden?' kyo thought.

"hmm... let's start with.. you. then you, then, you, ect."

the taller guy with black spiky hair, and dark brown eyes spoke. "uh... hi, i'm Mikki, 21... i'm the lead guitarist, i guess...sometimes i sing...sometimes... eh... someone else start talking...."

The girl who was next to speak had sea-green eyes, and even more interesting hair then Rika. it was long with a french braid on each side of her head. one braid was black, the other was a bright red, (a/n: not kyo red, as in orangy... i mean red... that like...cherry red... like RED!)
"yeah... i'm Sakura, 20 years old... i play the keyboards... and i also work with the digital music in background..... um...i guess that's all..." she seemed very dull.... staring into space occasionaly... examaining things... it reminided yuki alot of Saki-Hanajima. her style was a bit goth, wearing a long black and dark-green dress....(a/n: when i say dark-green, I MEAN DARK GREEN DAMMIT! don't you dark think olive green, or any other color around that color!)

"ok, um HI!!!! i'm Yohko...19 years... i'm the youngest... i play bass, i'm also sakuras sister."she smiled brightly. she seemd like a very nice person. she had bright silver-blue eyes... long wavy blonde hair, and a black ski cap.

"so.. i guess i'm next?" spoke the guy with pretty hair. it was straight, but flipped out at the end. it was a rich brown, he looked like the only one with his natural hair color (a/n: if you're wondering about the haircut, think brandon boyd and all his hotness...from incubus. if u don't know who brandon boyd is....i'm not talking to you :-P hee hee... brandon...sigh....yum... ANYWAYS back to story.)

"well... then name's myroku. play the drums, percussion, you know. 20 years, i've known rika and all her loviness for 3 years." rika started to laugh.

"hahaha. you're so sweet." she faked a smile.
"anyhoo, you guys are next." she looked over at yuki kyo and tohru. they all looked tohru and yuki looked at kyo. he realized all eyes were on him and got pissed.

"why the hell do I gotta speak first?"
"well, since you've already started talking anyways, you should just continue." rika flashed him a smile. kyo tried not to get too angry...

"fine. i'm kyo. that's all you need to know. i'm leaving for the kitchen.bye." that was it. he got up and left. yuki and tohru gave an awkward stare. tohru looked at yuki; he sighed.

"i'm yuki sohma. that idiot is my cousin. i'm turning 18 pretty soon. um... let me go ahead and introduce tohru too then. this is my girlfriend , tohru honda. and she is why rika is here with us; they're cousins."
"um...hi!" piped up tohru. she blushed and rested her head on yuki's shoulder.

the band had been there for awhile. yohko got up and stretched.
"heh heh. yohko's pooped. we should prolly head back soon... me n her i kno have a long way to go... and the guys too."
"oh! so you n yohko decided to be roomies?"
"ah huh," yohko answered.

Rika decided it was time to take a piss.
"uh...excuse me. oh! and don't leave til i come back!" she walked upstairs to use the bathroom. kyo 's eyes followed her as she walked upstairs. what he didn't know, however, was that another pair of eyes was also watching her.

rika stepped out of the bathroom and began to head down the stairs. she stopped, however, when mikki was standing at the very top.
"hey."

"um, hey mikki. long time no see, ne?" mikki nodded.
"i swear rika...almost seems like u tried to avoid us all on purpose coming here. you kno i offered to let you stay with me til u got on your feet."
"uh... well, i wanted to be with family."
"all the guys here are family?"
"uh... no. tohru's my cousin. but she's living here with them. yuki's her boyfriend."
"yeah. i could tell." he gently grabbed her hand and looked at her wrist. There were some beads there.

"you stopped wearing the neckalce I bought you?"
"i didn't stop wearing it. i just don't wear it all the time." there was awkward silence.

Meanwhile, downstairs, kyo was wondering what was taking rika so long.

"rika... i really miss you."
"that's nice." she said sarcastically.
"cmon. stop being sarcastic for once. I mean it." he tightened his grip on her wrist.
"mikki you're gripping me really tight. and anyways, we agreed. we're just bandmates now."
"no," he replied, slightly peeved. "you agreed."

"hey," rika and mikki turned around. kyo was now in the middle of the stairs, staring at them.
"kyo, hey!"

"i came up here cuz you were taking awhile." kyo saw mikki's strong grip on rika. his hands clenched into balls by his sides as he tried not to appear angry. in a voice as calm as possible,
"what's going on?"

mikki just turned to rika, he let go of her wrist and started down the stairs.
"remember rika... if u ever change your mind, you're always welcome at my place." and with that he started down the stairs. rika followed after him, and grabbed kyo's hand.

"cmon, let's go downstairs to say bye to the band."

after everyone had said their goodbyes, everyone else in the house stood at the entrance.
"so....muyo-san... are your female friends...?" rika had to laugh at the perverted inu.
"yes.single..." she teased. shigure sighed happily. yuki and kyo groaned. yuki gave tohru a kiss on the cheek.

"i'm going up to bed tohru."
"mhm. ok yuki. i'll meet you up there." yuki went upstairs, with shigure's eyes following. once yuki was out of sight, a grin flashed on his face as her turned to look at tohru. tohru looked puzzled.

"what?" rika laughed at her cousin.
"haha...shigure doesn't know you guys share the same bed." shigure smirked. kyo looked at him.
"oh stop being perverted you baka inu. they actually sleep."
"among other things." tohru blushed, finally realizing that they were talking about her.

"anyways, i need my beauty rest. goodnight all." and with that shigure went upstairs as well. finally the remaining three decided to walk upstairs together. tohru walked into yuki's room. rika, who was about to step into tohru's room.

"hey, wait." kyo grabbed rika's wrist. rika jerked her hand away, having been reminded of mikki grabbing her wrist like that earlier. kyo understood this.
"sorry."
"no, its ok..." she looked at kyo. he had a concerned look on his face.

"i wanted to ask you earlier...what was that?"
"what was what?" rika tried to act clueless.

"don't play stupid. i know you're not. what was that guy doing? he wasn't hurting you was he....i swear, if he did..."
"kyo! chill! he didn't hurt me. i would've kicked his ass had he tried. we were just talking. you don't have to be protective of me like you're my boyfriend or something."

this hurt kyo. he started to walk away...rika felt really bad.
"hey wait." kyo looked behind his shoulder.

"bitch. the only time i'm actually trying to be nice. see if i do it again."he started to walk away until rika ran in front of him. kyo had to stop suddenly, afraid that he would run into her and transform.she pushed him into her room; he kinda had no choice, otherwise she would've pushed into him and transformed him. once inside tohru's room, rika leaned in and kissed him fiercely. even though kyo was still kinda pissed, he couldn't help but kiss her back just as fiercely. just as rika was about to wrap her arms around kyo's neck, he pushed her away.

"i shouldn't be doing this. i'm not your boyfriend." he practically spit out. this annoyed rika. before he could walk out, rika hugged him. while holding a peeved kyo in her arms, she closed tohru's door and walked over to her bed. she placed kyo on the bed.

"dammit woman! you can't do that EVERYTIME, just hug me whenever the hell you want to!"
"shut it fluffy."
"DONT' CALL ME FLUFFY!"
"OH YEAH? WELL LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING THEN, CARROT TOP. I said not to act like you were my boyfriend. now tell me, before i said that, did YOU even consider yourself my boyfriend?"
"well...no but-"
"but nothing. so there. so don't try to make it seem like i'm using you, alright? cuz you like it. you like it a lot!"
"well you know what! you didn't have to be so damn mean! i tried being nice to you! and I -"
POOF
"- actually care! ok? i care about you!" confessed a naked kyo. rika hung her head low. she said nothing. finally, kyo spoke again.

"...i'm sorry."
"no, i should be the one who's sorry. you were worried about me, and i guess i was snappish cuz i was afraid to actually open up to you." she looked up.

"well hey. its ok. you... well... you don't have to be afraid to open up to me. you can talk to me, if you want. but i won't force you to tell me anything." rika leaned in again to kiss kyo. this time, he allowed her to wrap her arms around his neck. it was sorta hard to do without getting too close to him. he pulled her closer anyways, wrapping his arms around her waist. they eased themselves so they were laying on their sides, towards each other, on the bed. they blissfully played with the other's tongue; kyo then broke away and started kissing her neck. rika giggled; kyo looked up.

"what?"
"its kinda... cute. most girls don't normally have naked transforming redheads kissing their neck before bed."
"heh. im' sure somewhere in the world there's a naked redhead kissing someone's neck. cept they'd be having sex." rika looked at him seriously.

"i hope that wasn't a hint towards anything."
"no! i'm not that perverted shigure!" he said defensively.

"...will you stay here with me? i kinda like holding a kitty to me." kyo nodded and hugged her. rika ran her fingers through kyo's fur, feeling calm with kyo's purrs vibrating through her hand and up her arm. she continued petting him silently for a couple minutes. she then put him back on the bed.

"i forgot. i haven't put my pajamas on yet." she got up and headed towards her dresser. kyo circled a pillow a couple times before situating himself on top.
"is it my turn for a show?"
"no. you are a perv. deep inside."
"i am not! you're the one who watches me everytime i turn back!" and after saying that, he was human again. he slid under the covers to hide his flesh.

rika shrugged. "whatever." kyo decided to be nice anyways and turn the other way. while getting dressed, rika spoke.
"earlier...that was mikki. him n me work together to write most of the songs. we...used to go out. he had it all planned out...after college he wanted me to move in with him. he said it was so that i'd have somewhere to stay til i got on my own feet. but i know he hoped that me staying there would discourage me from getting a job outside of the band. as much as i love the band, its unrealistic to devote everything to it. i need somethingelse. and yeah. he's a great writer and guitarist though. and i still wanna be friends and work on the band together with him. but i don't wanna be with him. today he scared me... when he seemed upset that i didn't have the necklace on." she had finished changing and climbed into the bed.

"what necklace?"
"its like...a promise necklace. or something retarded like that. he gave it to me freshman year of college. that id stay true and whatnot during college. see, he didn't go. he did nothing. and after i got out of college, he'd do the same thing: nothing. and i don't wanna do nothing with the rest of my life. after i broke up with him, i stopped wearing it. i didn't really wanna see it." kyo looked at her. he saw beads on her wrist.

"hey, those beads. they look nice. i... i wear beads too." he showed her the bracelet he never took off.
"its so pwetty! can i see it?"
"uh...no. its kinda...its old. it might break if i even try to remove it." he quickly scampered for an excuse.
"oh." she said disappointed. kyo quickly changed the subject.

"but yeah...this ass mikki or whatever. look. if he ever bugs you don't be afraid to tell me. i'll kick his ass." rika giggled and kissed kyo's nose.
"well, u can kick his ass. but make sure he can still play a guitar and sing backup." she hugged him and snuggled with the little kitty cat.

"hey kitty cat?"
"yeah?" answered the drowsy neko. the warmth from rika's body was lulling him to sleep.
"thanks. for letting me talk. and... for caring." kyo didn't answer. he was already asleep.

tohru comfied herself in bed. yuki was laying there already. he turned around and faced her. Tohru giggled.

"so, sleeping naked now?" yuki looked down at himself.

"well, i figure i'll prolly end up transforming anyways." his finger traced along the lace of her sleeve. Tonight, she was wearing a night gown instead of a 2 piece.
"hee hee." she giggled again. "you make me feel overdressed." she slipped off her nightgown. lately, she'd started feeling more comfortable around him, in that intimate way. yuki placed a delicate hand across her smooth stomach. tohru's eyes closed, loving the warm touch. she snuggled up close to yuki and quickly fell asleep. yuki sat awake a little longer, relishing in the girl's warmth, her skin...the beauty of her when she slept. then finally, yuki fell asleep too.

.... love it? hate it? watever, Review it!
