Chapter 4. Core

Kyo, Yuki, and Kaylee arrived to the house. They all walked inside and took their shoes off. Yuki walked into the dinning room first fallowed by Kyo.

"Did you find her?" Tohru asked with a worried look.

"Here I am Tohru." Kaylee stepped in the room. Tohru jumped up, ran over to Kaylee and hugged her. Kaylee didn't know what to do so she just hugged her back.

"I'm glad your fine." Tohru pulled away with tears running down her face.

"Tohru please don't cry. Yuki do you have a handkerchief?" Yuki gave a confused look at Kaylee. "Oh never mind. Here use this to whip your tears." Kaylee handed her a small cloth. Tohru took it and whipped her tears off. "My dad gave me that before he died."

"I will wash it and give it back to you then. Sorry about your dad. How did your mom react?" Tohru asked trying to be nicer. Kaylee looked at the floor.

"Both my mom and dad are dead. It happened last year. It was a heavy rainy night. They were driving home from a movie. Some people were drunk and smashed right into them. It killed them instantly." Kaylee said in a shaky voice.

"I am so sorry. My mom also died last year." Tohru knew the pain she could understand very well.

"That's ok. Lets eat." Kaylee said having a huge mood swing. Kyo and Yuki both fell to the ground.

"What is wrong with you? You should be sad right now not happy." Kyo was getting up off the floor yelling again.

"It's alright Kyo she doesn't want to be sad. Lets just go eat. Oh Yuki go wash your hands and face." Tohru said.

"Yes Miss Honda." Yuki went up stairs and turned on the shower.

Tohru set plates and food out for Kyo, Yuki, and Kaylee. Kaylee and Kyo sat down and put food on their plates. Once their plates had a lot of food on it they both ate.

"That was great food." Kaylee said finishing it. After she said that Yuki sat down next to her and began to eat.

"So how many of you are there with the curse?" Shigure asked.

"Eleven." Replied Kaylee.

"So that makes twelve. Right?" Tohru said.

"Wait aren't there suppose to be thirteen?" Shigure said. He now had a confused look on his face.

"So who carries the core of the curse?" Yuki asked. Now finishing his food.

"I do." Kaylee replied. Kyo slammed his hands on the table.

"That's not fair. You all ready have to put up with the curse of the cat. Now the core to. It's just not fair." Kyo was super angry now.

"Kyo calm down. I will tell you how I got the core. It happened about two months ago. My friends and I were playing games in the park. It was around 10 p.m. An old man came out of his house and walked into the park. He motioned me to go over to him. He asked me to be quiet. I told him I will try to tell my friends. The old man left. It had been twenty noisy minutes the old man came out and motioned me again. I ran over to him. Before I knew it I had this bracelet on and he told me about it. Then he said I carry the core of the curse. And that is how I got the curse." Kaylee now finishing her story took a drink of the tea in front of her.

"I'm sorry Kaylee." Yuki said.

Kyo stood up. Everyone looked at him. Then he disappeared up the stairs.

"I think he likes you Kaylee." Shigure said in a singing voice. Kaylee's face went bright red. She didn't want anyone to see so she smacked her head on the table.

"Oh my gosh. Kaylee are you ok?" Tohru asked.

"Yes. Thanks for asking." Kaylee said pulling her head back up. Kaylee's face wasn't red anymore but only the spot she hit her head on was.

Shigure leaned over to Yuki. "Was it something I said.?" Shigure asked in a low voice. Yuki just shrugged his shoulders and looked at Kaylee.

"I think I might just be tired from all the events today." Kaylee said with a yawn. As soon as Tohru herd what Kaylee said she stood up.

"I will go make you a bed in the living room. Is that ok?" Tohru said with a smile.

"Oh can I help you make the bed?" Kaylee asked looking at Tohru.

"No that is ok it will go quicker if I make it on my own." Tohru exclaimed and walked out of the room into the living room.

Kaylee sat there confused and tired. "Kaylee if you want you might be able to help tomorrow." Yuki said with a smile.

When Kaylee herd this her face lite up with joy. "Really that will be great." Kaylee said while standing up. "I am going to get in my pj's on and brush my teeth so I can go to bed." Then Kaylee grabbed her bag and ran up stairs.

"She is really easy to please." Said Shigure.

"Don't you even think about it." Yuki said while glaring at shigure.

"Think about what?" Shigure asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Never mind." Yuki sighed in relief.

/Up stairs/

Kaylee walked over to the bathroom and saw the door was closed. Kaylee knocked.

"Just a minute I am almost done." Kyo said inside the bathroom.

"Ok." Kaylee replied. Then started humming to the song The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round.

/Man how come everywhere I go she is. This girl is going to be annoying. When I get out of here she might want an explanation of why I kissed her./ Kyo sighed and opened the door. He looked at Kaylee and started to say. "I don't know how to say this..."

"Sorry Kyo not enough time to talk. I have to get in the bathroom." As soon as she said that Kaylee pushed Kyo out of the way. Kaylee walked inside and shut the door. Leaving Kyo out in the hall way looking dumb. Kyo turned around and looked at the bathroom door.

/Did she just ignore me. What the heck is going on here./ Then Kyo turned around and went in his room.

Kaylee after taking a shower, blow dried her hair, got dressed, and brushed her teeth. She opened the door and went back down stairs. Tohru was at the table sitting by Yuki.

"Good your done." Tohru said with a smile. I will show you where you are sleeping." Tohru stood up and walked over to the living room door. Kaylee fallowed Tohru to the door. When Kaylee was standing next to Tohru; Tohru slid open the door and let Kaylee go in first. On the floor there was a blue and white bed. "I hope you get a good nights sleep." Tohru said walking into the room.

"Thank you so much." Kaylee's eyes were sparkling. "When I wake up tomorrow I will help with anything you want me to do." Kaylee said bowing to Tohru.

"Ok. Thank you. But if you wake up when Yuki, Kyo, and I are at school. I will leave you a list of things you can do. That is if that is ok with you?" Tohru Smiled after she was done talking.

"That sounds great. Just incase I don't see you in the morning. Have fun and get back safe." Kaylee said waving to Tohru as she walked out of the room and slid the door shut.

After Tohru left Kaylee put her stuff down and climbed into bed. She looked up at the ceiling and watched all the lights go out and listened to everyone go up stairs.

"Thank you." Kaylee whispered and shut her eyes falling asleep.
