This is my first fic so be gentle and I haven't read all of the manga or seen any of the episodes on TV so sorry if I repeat anything.

Summary: Haru gives up on Yuki and sets his sights on Tohru.

Ch 4 Cat Got Your Tongue

"What the -. What are you doing!" Kyo looked at the pair, first at them kissing then at Haru's hand in Tohru's shirt. He just stared at them wide eyed with confusion as the two people pulled apart from each other.

"Kyo its not how it lo," Tohru was cut off when Kyo looked at her with a tearful face,

"I don't want to hear it!"

Kyo turned and fled before Haru or Tohru saw that he was crying. He bumped into Yuki on his way out who happened to get a good enough look at him to see the tears, but before he could ask what was wrong Kyo was out of the house and running through the woods.

Kyo ran through the woods until he couldn't run any more. Sobbing and gasping for air he looked around to see where he was. He was standing next to the biggest tree that he had ever seen. Without really thinking about it he climbed the tree to the highest place he could go without the branches breaking.

He didn't know how long he had sat there just sobbing, but when he looked up the sun was setting. He looked out to the sky and sat there watching the sunset. It was one of the most beautiful ones he had ever seen with the red, orange, and pink colors swirling together. The light cast a glow onto his orange hair making it look like it was a blessed angel that sat there crying, not a cursed cat.

He couldn't get the picture of Haru and Tohru kissing out of his mind, but worst of all, he couldn't get the picture of Haru feeling Tohru up out of his mind. Finally after the sunset had ended he jumped out of the tree and landed on his feet, as only cats can do, and began walking towards the house.

By the time he entered the kitchen he saw that it was 8:00. Tohru had left a plate of food out and a note with the heating instructions on it. Kyo looked at the food and Tohru's note and felt the hunger leave him. He looked into the TV room and saw everybody watching a movie. Tohru was sitting in between Yuki and Haru laughing at some old comedy of Shigure's.

He turned his head away in disgust and silently crept up to his room and threw himself on his bed. He lay there until he heard the laughter stop and everyone start getting ready for bed, and then he went to his window and made his way onto the roof. He lay there next to the spot that he hit Haru through earlier that day.

He laid there until he didn't hear any more commotion, the crept back into his room and fell into a fitful sleep. He woke up the next morning, before anyone else, and went to shower. He hoped he could get away from the house before Tohru of Haru got up.

When he went downstairs he walked into the kitchen and stuck his head into the fridge and looked around for something for breakfast. He ended up just grabbing the carton of milk and started to take a big chug. He turned around in mid-gulp and found himself face-to-face with Tohru.

Kyo was so surprised that milk shot out of his nose. He sank to the ground and tried to wipe away the burning sensation in his nostrils. He felt Tohru's hand on his shoulder and looked up to see her face in front of his.

Kyo looked Tohru right in the eyes and asked, "Why him?"

"Kyo I… I'm sorry. Its not that I chose hi-" Tohru was cut short by Kyo when he pressed his mouth against her.

She was surprised by how needy he seemed. Kyo immediately began trying to pry into her mouth with his tongue. He wound his fingers into her hair and pushed against her lips begging to be let in. She parted her lips so that Kyo could have access to her mouth. He slid his tongue in and felt a sensation that he never thought he'd be able to feel. He pulled her torso towards his and before he knew it he was a cat.

"Damn," Kyo said.

He looked up and ran when he saw the look of surprise and confusion on Tohru's face.

Tohru watched as he fled and began to think, "First Haru and now Kyo. What is going on with them?"
