Chapter 5. Midnight Strike

It was 1:00 a.m. Monday morning. The house was dark. Kyo was the only one awake. Kyo was sitting up in his bed breathing heavily. He had just waken up from a nightmare.

/That was horrible. Why do I keep on dreaming of being a rat? This dream is getting annoying./

Kyo kicked off his covers and stepped out of bed. The floor creaked when Kyo stood up. Kyo walked over to his door and opened it up. He walked into the hall way and down the stairs. When Kyo walked into the kitchen he went to the cupboard. Kyo opened the cupboard and grabbed a cup. Kyo placed the cup on the counter and walked over to the fridge. When the fridge opened the light shined in Kyo's eyes burning them. Kyo shut his eyes from the pain of the light.

/Stupid light. One of these days I'm going to rip you out./

Kyo slowly opened his eyes and looked for the milk. After looking for ten seconds he found the milk. It was behind the pickles. Kyo slid the pickle jar over and grabbed the milk. Pulling out the milk Kyo shut the fridge. Everything was black. Kyo couldn't see very well. Even though he is the cat. Waiting to see where the counter was Kyo rubbed his eyes with his free hand. Everything was visible now. Kyo walked over to counter and poured the milk in the glass. When the glass was full the milk in the carton was gone. So Kyo threw the carton away.

/Looks like after school I need to go buy milk./ Kyo sighed. Picking up his glass and drank half the milk in the cup. /I wonder if copy cat decided to leave in the middle of the night./ Kyo put the cup down and went over to the living room door. He slid the door open and walked in. To Kyo's surprise Kaylee was still asleep on the floor. Kyo walked over to where Kaylee was and knelt down next to her.

/She might of made a doll and left it here to trick us./ Kyo placed a hand on Kaylee's face. Kaylee woke up and grabbed the blanket on her and jumped on Kyo. She tangled Kyo up in the blanket and held him down. Kyo was in the covers trying to get out and wondered how he got in them.

"That will teach you Red Hairing. Case closed." Kaylee had a smile of triumph on her face.

Kyo now pissed off that he was in the blanket pushed Kaylee off of him. Kaylee fell to the floor. Kyo ripped off the blanket.

"What the heck do you think you are doing? You almost killed me." Kyo whispered in a hissing sound. Kaylee looked up at Kyo. She was still half asleep.

"Silly teady bear your suppose to be asleep." Kaylee said with a yawn. Then she grabbed the blanket wrapped it around her and then grabbed Kyo. Kaylee put some blanket on Kyo and fell to the ground pulling Kyo down with her. Kaylee had her arms wrapped around Kyo.

"What.....Let go of me." Kyo tried to get free. But Kaylee had hold of him way to tight.

"No, no Mr. Bear it is sleepy time." Kaylee said smiling.

"I am not your bear. Now let go." Kyo demanded.

"Of course you're my bear." Kaylee replied.

Kyo was annoyed. So to get Kaylee to let go of him Kyo licked his finger and stuck it in Kaylee's ear. Kaylee let go of Kyo and sat up wide awake. Kaylee was whipping her ear with her shirt sleeve. Kyo sat up.

"Its about time you let go of me copy cat. And next time you think I am a stuffed animal your going to pay." Kyo said glaring at Kaylee.

Kaylee looked at Kyo who had the covers on his lap. Her eyes widened. "Ewwww....Your in my bed you pervert." Kaylee said and jumped up.

Kyo jumped up and covered Kaylee's mouth with his hand. "You pulled me in your bed. You thought I was a bear." Kyo explained whispering in her ear. Kaylee stood there looking at Kyo. "I am going to move my hand. Will you be quiet?" Kaylee shock her head. Kyo moved his hand away letting go of Kaylee.

"Why were you down here Kyo?" Kaylee asked.

"I came to get a drink." Kyo replied.

"This isn't the kitchen." Kaylee said looking at Kyo with a suspicious look.

"And I came to see if you ran away. Ok!" Kyo said.

"Oh! Ok. Don't worry I am not leaving yet. I still need to meet the other Sohma's." Kaylee replied smiling.

Kyo looked at Kaylee and walked to the door. Kaylee followed him. Kyo stopped at the door.

"What are you doing?" Kyo asked.

"I need a drink." Kaylee said.

After Kaylee said that Kyo walked over to the counter and picked up his cup.

"Hey Kyo how full is your cup?" Kaylee asked.

Kyo looked at her not understanding the point of the question replied. "It is half empty."

"No it is half full." Kaylee said laughing. Kyo had a confused look on hi face so he continued drinking his milk with out a saying a word. Kaylee grabbed a cup from the cupboard and went over to the sink. She turned on the water and put her cup under and filled it half way. Then she turned off the water and drank it all gone. Both Kyo and Kaylee put their cups down at the same time.

"So what are you going to do while Yuki, Tohru, and I are at school?" Kyo asked walking over to the table and sitting down.

Kaylee looked at Kyo and also sat down at the table across from Kyo. "I am going to clean up around the house. So Tohru can come home and do her homework." Kaylee replied.

"Hmm... The house isn't that dirty." Kyo said. Then had a evil smile on his face.

Kaylee saw the evil smile on Kyo's face and said. "Oh the ants go marching one by one hurrah hurrah." Kyo looked at her like she was crazy.

"Would you quit changing the subject. If you change it again I won't tell you what I am going to do." Kyo said trying not to yell.

"Aren't you looking lovely tonight. Did you do something to your hair? Or a face lift?" Kaylee asked ignoring Kyo.

Kyo didn't want to take this anymore. "I am not 175. I don't need a face lift and my hair has stayed the same. I am not telling you anymore." Kyo exclaimed.

"Ok. I get it. Your mean in the morning." Kaylee said putting her head on the table.

"I'm mean when people piss me off." Kyo responded.

"Well then I'm sorry. I know what you are planning to do." Kaylee said closing her eyes. Kyo looked at her not believing that she knows.

/How could she know I didn't tell her./

"You are planning to mess up the house." Kaylee said in a quiet voice.

/What the heck how did she know./

"Ok you got me." Kyo said.

"Heh. I'm glad." Kaylee replied.

Kaylee was falling asleep with her head on the table. Kyo stood up and walked around the table. He sat next to Kaylee.

"Kaylee are you asleep?" Kyo asked. Kaylee moaned but didn't wake up. Kyo looked at Kaylee and smiled.

/You so cute when you sleep./ Kyo wrapped his arms around Kaylee and put his head on her shoulder. "I'll keep you warm for tonight." Kyo whispered in her ear and fell asleep.
