Chapter 19

I am back! And I just got to say, that part I put in about Yuki having rock hard abs... Well let's just say that my friends and I are still laughing. No offense to any of you that like him. We just imagined him major macho with no head... That was great by the way. Anyways, enough jabbering! Enjoy!

'Why did they have to show up? I was about to tell her about the hat. I mean, I'm sure that she doesn't know herself! But if I told her about the hat... would she love him instead? Would she just fall for him even though things are in my favor?' Kyo was talking to himself again. Rationalizing if he should tell Tohru about the secret of the hat.

Izumi, Yuki, Yume, and Tohru were all off playing under the Sakura blossoms around the estate. Kagura was somewhere in the estate getting drinks for them while Shigure and Hatori were talking over tea about what's been going on and what they should do. Kyo of course was sitting on the roof of the estate above Hatori and Shigure. He watched Tohru and the rest playing tag or some sort of organized game.

"Kyo! Come join us please?" Izumi begged.

"I don't wanna, play by yourselves!" He shot.

"Awww!!!! You're no fun!" She said fake crying. Everyone laughed. Kyo caught a glimpse of Tohru's happy smile. He smiled himself.

"Ooo... Looks like Kyo is giving someone the eye!" Yume meddled.

"What?!" Kagura appeared out of nowhere in front of the door behind Shigure and Hatori. She had drinks in a bag in one hand and the other was balled up in a fist.

Izumi placed a hand on the back of her head and the other on her hip. "Oh my, Kyo! I know I'm hot..." She took her hands and placed them in front of her mouth giggling. "But you don't have to be so obvious about watching me. I mean I already know that you watch me while I'm sleeping. Are you my personal stalker?" She asked smiling mischievously.

"What?!?!? No!!! I'm not like that! I was looking!!! What's wrong with all of you!!!"

"Stupid cat."

"Say it again rat boy!"

"Stupid cat!" Yuki said more clearly and slowly.

"That's it!" Kyo would have jumped down and attacked Yuki but the figure of Kagura was the only thing stopping him. She was glaring up at him, her eyes never wavering. "You got lucky today pretty boy."

"Idiot. Miss Honda, I beg you to stay away from him. For all we know, he might be staring through your clothes."

"He has those kind of powers?" Tohru asked gullibly.

"Yes. He does."

"Wow..."

"Shut up! I do not! Don't believe him!" A picture hit Kyo. It was bad enough that he was already blushing but the picture that just popped in his head made him turn darker red. A picture of Tohru bathing. Blood ran down from his nose. He wiped it away quickly but not quickly enough.

"Ew!!! He was thinking about it!" Yume declared.

"Shut up! I was doing no such thing! Just leave me alone!" He lied down.

'Why do I even care? I mean, its not like it's any of my business. I hope she leaves that rat and humiliates him in front of everyone!' He thought to himself clenching his left hand into a fist. He glanced down to find Yuki tripping over a tree root and landing on top of Tohru. Surprisingly, he didn't transform. He just picked himself off of her and hovered over her, looking in her eyes. Kyo jumped to his feet.

"What the hell is going on?" He whispered to himself. 'Why didn't he transform? He wasn't giving her power so how could he not? I mean of course its happened to me a few times but that dirty rat!' Kyo could barely hear, but tried his best to listen to their conversation.

"Miss Honda... I'm sorry, are you alright?" He asked. He didn't make an effort to move.

"Uh... yeah! I'm fine. But Yuki, you have a scratch." She reached up to his face, wiping blood away. He blushed an unbelievable shade of red and transformed into his zodiac form. "Yuki!" She exclaimed.

'Hm... That's better. But does this mean that he's over come part of our curse?' Kyo sighed and lay down on the roof. 'What really is our curse anyways? Why do we have this curse? Why were we the ones cursed? Why this family? I just don't understand...' He placed his open palm in front of his face looking up into the sun. 'What did we do that was so horrible? What?' Kyo closed his eyes and let his hand rest on his face. A sound of movement startled him from his peaceful state. He sat up not turning around.

"Kyo..." A girl's voice said behind him. He knew the voice and instincts started to take over.

"What do you want Kagura?" He asked sliding away from her.

"Are... are you alright? I mean I know you're still hurt and all but..."

"I'm fine." He said coldly.

"Kyo... I..." Kagura couldn't bring herself to any words.

"I'm fine Kagura. Just leave me alone... I need time to think."

Kagura's eyes lost their brightness, becoming dull and glassy.

"I'm sorry. I just can't do that." Kyo turned around in time to dodge the sharp dagger coming his way.

"What the hell Kagura!?" He jumped to his feet once more, backing away. Hatori and Shigure flew from their spots gazing up at the roof. The others stopped playing and looked up as well. Kagura stood up with her hair covering her eyes and when they were revealed, they shined a bright blood red. "Kagura, what's wrong with you?" Kyo asked backing away until he reached the edge. He looked behind him in desperateness of getting farther away. Kagura came at him again and he dodged by falling and grabbing the side. Kagura didn't stop moving. She groaned and then fell over as well, very limp. Kyo caught her still hanging from the roof himself.

"Kyo?"

"Are you alright?" Tohru asked.

"Yeah." He looked at Kagura's innocent face. 'What the hell just happened?'
