Kyou stalked out of the house. It was all that stupid rat's fault again. Afterall, he hadn't been doing anything when that rat had started goading him. Of course, when he'd retaliated the only way he knew how, Tohru had walked in. When asked what had been the cause of the fight, the only thing he could remember was being upset. So, he was the bad guy. He was always the bad one.

The further he got away from the house, the more he could feel himself relaxing. The household stressed him. The family stressed him. He didn't get along with most people, whether from his own antisocial behavior or from his lack of tact. It was at times like these that he wished that he had stayed with his master.

He looked at the land around him. He'd wandered into the woods surrounding the house. Picking a tree, he slumped down next to it. Trees and rocks didn't judge him like the family did. He could stay out among them and remain happy, never dealing with people again.

But out among the woods alone, there was no way to tell whether you lived. If everyone forgot about you, would you cease to exist? As Kyou sat contemplating the night, he heard faint voices.

"Baka neko," Yuki's familiar curse could be heard. "If he gets lost out here, then it's his own fault. I'm not a babysitter to go find his lost ass."

Kyou chuckled to himself. What would become of his mortal enemy? Who would harass him and drive him to anger? Yuki wouldn't forget him, if only to curse about him. What were enemies for? Yuki was helping to look for him after all.

"But, Yuki! What if he's hurt somewhere?" Tohru worried.

"It would be his own damn fault..." Kyou could hear Yuki sigh. "Let's just find him. 'Cause when I find him, I'm gonna-"

"You're gonna do what, kuso nezumi?" Kyou said as he came around the tree.

The first thing that he greeted his sight was an annoyed looking Yuki. The next was a relieved Tohru. Yuki kept his heated glare locked on Kyou as Tohru hugged him. Life wasn't so bad. He had his enemy and that was all he needed for now.
