Summary: They say cats can't resist catnip, right? See what happens when Momiji's super-strength catnip and Kyo's feline instincts collide. And how will Tohru deal with a clingy, overly-protective, catnip-high Kyo?(Kyoru pairing)
Authors Notes: A scene from Ranma 1/2 will be used in the future, just so ya know. I also use how my cats act on catnip for Kyo's catnip behavior, though they always act like they're on catnip,so...Also, OOC-ness and fluffiness is in the story! Read on!
Catnip Confessions
Chapter 5- Insanity At Dinner
"Hatori-san, I was wondering if- Oh my gosh! What happened to Yuki-kun!" Tohru asked as she started to panic.
"I think it was because he just learned that Kyo is capable of having more than one emotion." Shigure replied as he watched Haru, Momiji, and Hatori try and revive the poor rat.
"What do mean, Shigure-san?" Tohru asked.
"I think you'll know soon enough, Tohru-kun..." Shigure replied, as he smiled.
"Okay then..." Tohru replied as she helped to try and revive Yuki.
She didn't really let it get to her. She had much more important things on her mind right now. Like trying to revive Yuki, who just taken a serious dosage of reality. About ten minutes later, he was okay.
"Yuki-kun, are you alright?" Tohru asked as she helped Yuki sit up.
"Yeah...I'm fine, Honda-san..." Yuki replied. 'I'm not too sure how Kyo will be once he gets out of his little fantasy world though...' Apparently, Yuki wasn't too happy with what Hatori told him.
"Well that's good!" Tohru said as she smiled. She then turned to Hatori. "Hatori-san, would you like to stay over for dinnner?With Haru-san and Momiji-san?"
"I don't mind." Hatori replied. "As long as it's okay with Haru and Momiji."
'I'd rather be locked in a small room with Akito on one of his bad days than stay here with Kyo!' Haru thought as he felt his ankle twinge in pain. "Um, actually, I have some homework to do so, I uh, can't really stay...The books I need for it are at home."
"Huh? We don't have any homework!" Momiji said. Haru shot him a look that said 'Shut up!'. "We finished all our work in Mikada-sensei's class, so therefore, we have no homework."
"Yeah, well I do!" Haru replied.
"Nuh-huh!" Momiji replied. "You don't have any!"
"Yeah-huh!" Haru shot back, starting to get a bit angry. "I went Black in class while you were gone! That's why!"
"No you don't!" Momiji said.
"Yeah I do!" Haru replied, standing up to face him, looking as if he was going to start a fight.
"Do not!" Momiji said.
"Do too!" Haru said.
"I have an idea!" Shigure announced. "Why don't we take a vote? That way, everyone's happy and no one starts a fight."
"Great idea, Shigure-san!" Tohru said. She then turned to Hatori. "Would you like to stay for dinner, Hatori-san?"
"I'd like that alot, Tohru-kun." Hatori replied.
"Great! What about you, Momiji-san?" Tohru said.
"Of course I would!" Momiji replied.
"Great! And you, Haru-san?" Tohru asked, turning to a angry and defeated looking Hatsuharu.
"The vote's already 2 to 1, so what's the point? I guess I'll stay..." Haru replied.
"Okay then!" Tohru said as she went into the kitchen. "I'll start dinner right now."
"Honda-san, would you like any help?" Yuki asked.
"No way!" Kyo said as he appeared out of nowhere. He was down on all fours and rubbing against Tohru's legs like a cat, and he was still in human form too. "I wanna help Tohru-chan! So can I?"
Tohru looked down at Kyo, who had the biggest, goofiest, yet sweetest grin you could ever see on his face, then to Yuki. He just gave her a smile and said "It's okay, let him help. There's always tomorrow night."
"Okay. C'mon Kyo-kun, let's go make dinner for everyone." Tohru said.
"Yay, I get to spend more time with Tohru-chan!" Kyo said. He then hugged her in a way that wouldn't transform and snuggled his face against hers, making purring sounds as he hugged her. Tohru started to blush very brightly.
"Um...Okay, Kyo-kun, let's go and start dinner for everyone." Tohru said, her voice a bit shaky from embarassment.
"Kay!" Kyo replied, letting her go and following her into the kitchen. Everyone was silent for a minute at Kyo's public display of affection. That is until Shigure broke out into laughter.
"I've never seen Kyo do anything that lovey-dovey or that funny before!" Shigure said between bursts of laughter. "When he was down on all fours and rubbing up against Tohru-kun! That was priceless!"
"I think it was the most vulgar thing I've ever seen that kuso neko do!" Yuki stated, shaking with fury.
"I think it was cute!" Momiji said. "What about you, Haru?"
"Who cares?" Haru said. Obviously, he wasn't in a good mood.
"Okay, everyone! Dig in!" Tohru said as she sat down and started to eat dinner along with everyone else.
For a few minutes, they ate in silence until Yuki spoke.
"So, Honda-san..." Yuki started as Tohru looked up. "Kyo didn't do anything...Violating did he?"
"Wha? Oh, no!" Tohru said. "He just stayed up on top of the fridge and handed me ingredients and things he wanted for dinner."
"Oh, that's good." Yuki said.
"Why do you ask, Yuki-kun?" Tohru asked.
"No reason." Yuki replied. 'I just want to make sure he behaves...'
'Yuki so wants to kill Kyo right now.' Shigure thought as he watched Yuki send death glares to the oblivious Kyo, who was sitting in Tohru's lap like a cat. Right now, Kyo was begging everyone for their leftover pieces of codfish they had for dinner. Yuki had eaten all of his, Shigure, Tohru, Momiji, and Hatori handed over what little they had left, and right now, Kyo was fighting Haru for his.
"Pretty please?" Kyo begged.
"No, you moron, I'm still eating!" Haru said sternly, his patience waring thin.
"Aww, c'mon!" Kyo whined. "I'm still hungry!"
"Yeah, well so am I, so just be quiet and let me eat!" Haru replied.
"Aww, but I'm still hungry!" Kyo pouted.
"Just let me eat, Kyo!" Haru said. 'Deep breaths...Stay calm...Count to ten...'
"No way!" Kyo replied. "Besides, you've already had enough, you cow!"
"Shut up!" Haru shot back. That was it. The last comment had broken Haru's self control. "When I say no, that means shut up, got it you stupid, stoned excuse for a cat!" Everyone else just sighed in frustration. Haru had gone into Black Haru mode.
"Mew?" Kyo said, totally unaware of Haru's change.
"Don't 'Mew' me!" Haru said as he got up and stormed over to Kyo, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt."Do you have any idea on how annoying you're being right now! I can't even eat in silence without you whining and nagging me for my dinner! So just SHUT UP!" So then Haru took him and threw him across the room and into the wall. Kyo then slid down onto the floor in a pile.
"Aww, look at the prettiful stars flying around..." Kyo said.
'He must've hit his head...' Hatori thought as he saw him. 'Either that, or it was the catnip talking...'
"Haa-kun, be careful!" Shigure said. "I just finished paying off the repair bills to the house."
"Aww, who cares?" Haru replied. "You're a big-time novelist. I'm sure you can afford it." Shigure was shocked at this comment.
"Um...Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked, looking at the heap of body laying on the floor. "Is he alright?"
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about him." Haru said as he went over to Tohru and sat down next to her, wrapping one arm over her shoulder and using his hand to turn her face towards his. "Besides, he's stoned, remember? He won't feel a thing, let alone remember it. Now, why don't you an' me go out an' have a litte fun?"
"Huh!" Tohru said as Haru's face leaned closer to hers. Yuki was about to pound Haru into a wall, but was unable to do so.
"I don't think so!" Came the voice of the now balistic Kyo. He had leaped onto Haru, making him fall onto one side of Tohru while Kyo fell on the other. Falling this way made them both transform. Now stood a large cow and and an angry orange cat in the middle of Shigure's dining room, right above Tohru. Kyo looked down to see her knocked down on her back.
"You stupid Moo-moo!" Kyo hissed. "Look what you did! You knocked Tohru-chan down and hurt her!"
"What in Kami's name are you-?" Haru was cut off due to Kyo jumping onto his head. Kyo was now scratching Haru all over the his body. "Waaahhh! Get offa me now!"
"No way!" Kyo said as he bit one of Haru's ears, then continued to scratch him. "You hurt Tohru-chan! I'm not lettin' you get away with that!"
"Get off me!" Haru said as he started to jerk around all over the room. "Oww! Kyo get off! Nnnhh! Okay! I'm sorry, Tohru-kun! I'll never do it again!"
"Good boy!" Kyo said as he jumped off and into Tohru's lap. Just then, after Kyo had jumped off, Haru had transformed, back into human, and back to his calmer side. Tohru shreiked and turned away.
"Why do I feel so tired?" Haru said. "And why do I hurt all over?" Just then, he passed out. Hatori went over and examined him.
"He's practically covered in cuts." Hatori said. "Momiji, come and pick up Haru's clothes. We're going back to the main house." And almost in an instant, they were gone.
"Kyo-kun, why did you-! Aaaaggghhh!" Tohru said, right when Kyo transformed right in front of her, his knees sittin on hers.
"Why did I what?" Kyo asked innocently. "And why did Tohru-chan scream?" He then layed down and snuggled up in her lap. Then he looked up at her. "Are you upset? I don't like it when Tohru-chan's upset...I like it when she's happy! I feel a warm inside when she's happy!"
"You kuso baka!" Yuki yelled as he shoved Kyo's clothes in his face. "She's upset because she has some naked, stoned idiot on her lap! Now get off and put some clothes on!"
"Fine!" Kyo pouted and got dressed. A little while later, everything was calm again.
"You know what?" Shigure said. "It's late and I'm going to bed. Nighty night!" And he walked out and into his bedroom.
"Shigure is right." Yuki yawned. "I guess it's time to go to sleep.
"Okay then." Tohru said. "Goodnight, Yuki-kun."
"Goodnight, Honda-san." Yuki replied.
"There...All finished." Hatori said as he finished wrapping the last bandage on Haru. "Now, I'll let Haru get some rest, and go get mine as well." He stepped out of Haru's room and bumped right into Kagura.
"Oh, Hello, Ha'ri!" Kagura said. "Anything new?"
"As a matter of fact, there is." Hatori replied. "And it all has to do with Kyo."
"My darling Kyo-kun!" Kagura nearly shouted, trying to keep calm for the rest of the sleeping Sohma's.
"Yes." Hatori replied. "He transformed and was exposed to a large amount of super strength catnip. He's been going crazy all day."
"Oh! For real!" Kagura asked. "Is he okay!"
"Yes, he's got Tohru-kun taking care of him." Hatori replied. "Though he's a bit more strange and violent than normal, but as long as Tohru-kun's with him, it'll be safe. Why don't you go visit him tomorrow? Go see what he's like for yourself. He's all smiley and giggily if you've ever wanted to see him like that."
"Really!" Kagura asked, her face brightening up when she heard the last sentence. "But you did say he was on catnip and was strange and violent than usual...Let me think about this, okay?"
"Wow, what a day!" Tohru yawned as she pulled the blankets off her bed and was about to crawl in when there was a knock at her door. She walked over and opened it to find Kyo standing there.
"Kyo-kun, is something wrong?" Tohru asked.
"No, but I wanna ask you something..." Kyo replied.
"What is it, Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked.
"Can I sleep in here with you tonight?" Kyo replied.
"Well, sure." Tohru replied. "I don't see any reason on why you can't."
"Yay!" Kyo said as he glomped onto Tohru as she shut her door and walked back to her bed, Kyo holding her."Thank you, Tohru-chan!"
"You're welcome, Kyo-kun." Tohru replied as she layed down, Kyo doing the same.
A few minutes later, after Tohru had turned off the light, she had felt an arm wrap around her and a warm body close to her back, it's owner purring. She turned around far enough as to not wake him up, but far enough to see a calm and content smile across his face. She smiled at this.
"Goodnight, Kyo-kun" Tohru whispered as she turned back around and drifted off to sleep.
