Chapter Two

A Red Ribbon for Kyo

….

….

The rat stirred in his sleep as the voice returned to him, taking him away from his dreams to a different one.

….

Yuki dreamed of the dark haired girl. His mind playing back what he had seen earlier and playing back the familiar voice that cut through him. He saw the yellow ribbon clearly in her long hair and longed to touch it and feel it with his hands. But no matter what he did he couldn't and the mystery of her stayed hidden from him.

….

….

Kyo lay on the roof gazing up at the stars above him. He felt soft of empty as if part of him was missing. He yawned and reached for one of the red clay tiles that seemed to have slipped partly down the roof. He picked up the tile and moved back up the roof to put it back where it belonged. He pushed it back in to place carefully so that none of the other tiles would slip down as well. He was just about to sit back down when his eye caught of something stuck under one of the tiles. As he crawled nearer he could se it was a red ribbon caught on one of the red clay tiles. Kyo stopped and pulled it out holding it in his hand so the wind would not blow it away.

"Kyo-Kun…"

"Who's there?" Kyo shouted looking around for where the voice came from holding on to the ribbon.

"Kyo-Kun. You have to come back. Back home." The voice said again a little louder.

"Leave me alone" Kyo said again a hint of panic in his voice. He could see where the voice was coming from. Who ever it was, was cloaked by nights black cloak.

"I want to understand everything." The voice said again. Kyo's eyes shot wide open. That voice…He thought…where have I heard it before…

"I want to stay together," The voice shouted sending him images of a girl. A girl who was muddy and looked as if she had been through a struggle. She was kneeing in the mud, a tear running down her face. Her messy brown hair kept partly up by a red ribbon. "I want us to live…eat meals…study…share our troubles…like we did before…Together."

"Stop it," Kyo shouted jumping to his feet so he could see whom it was. But he must have jumped to fast as he became light headed. My head. He thought placing a hand on his head. The red ribbon escaping from his clutches.

….

….

"What was that?" Shigure said jumping from his chair in his office. "I hope they are not fighting again."

Shigure wandered outside to see what was up. Seeing nothing in any of the downstairs rooms he opened one of the doors.

"Oh dear." He said looking at the fallen Kyo. Should I wake him? He thought picking up a long stick so if Kyo were a sleep he wouldn't get attacked.

"Kyo!" Shigure called poking Kyo. "Wakey Wakey Kitty."

Getting no response Shigure started to panic.

"Oh dear. Oh dear" he said running to the phone. "Tori! Glad your up at this hour. I think you should come around…. Yes I know what time it is but…Kyo…I think he may have fallen off the roof or something…. ok…Of course I haven't TOUCHED him since or moved him…yep will do…See you in a minute them…Bye" Shigure put down the phone thinking how strange it was that Kyo should fall of the roof.

….

….

"Kyo's Fine." Hatori said walking down the stairs. "Nothing seems wrong expect for a slight burse on his side. His sleeping now."

"I wonder how that got there" Shigure said sweat dripping down from his brow. "But I'm to hear nothings is wrong. Both him and Yuki start a new school term tomorrow."

Hatori sighed putting his stuff back in his bag.

"Yes is it wise? I don't know what Akito is playing at."

"Nor do I. I just hope it's not as bad as before." Shigure sighed.

"Yes so do I." Hatori said picking up his bag. "I'll be back around tomorrow to talk."

Shigure nodded and showed him to the door. "I look forward to tomorrow then." Shigure said smiling.

Hatori took no notice and put his bag in the boot of his car. He was worried about what Akito was up to this time.

Shigure walked back to his office the same problem on his mind.

….

….

Kyo slept a troubled sleep. His mind raced over what had happened sending him images of the girl. He stirred as he heard the voice again and a new image played over.

….

He saw himself in his other form resting by the waters edge the brown haired girl kneeing down in the mud next to him red ribbon tied in her hair. Her words cut through him and he couldn't place the familiarity anywhere. He was left puzzled. He tossed as the sense played back to him leaving the mystery to figure itself out.

….

….

"Are you ok this morning my dearest Yuki?" Shigure said eating his take-way breakfast. "You seem so upset." Shigure said picking up the newspaper.

"I had a strange dream that's all."

Shigure raised an eyebrow, "really?" he asked seeing Kyo walk in to the kitchen

"Yeah" said Yuki "it had a girl with long brown hair in it."

Both the rat and the dog turned towards the kitchen.

"Kyo?" Shigure called "what have you broken."

"Nothing you stupid dog." Kyo shouted back. "Why don't break everything you know" He walked in to the room and turned to face Yuki. "Did this girl have a ribbon in her hair?" he said not sure why he was asking the rat it for the words just spilling from his mouth.

"How did you know?" Yuki said slightly shocked.

Shigure lifted up the paper to hind his worried face. "Your going to be late." He said trying to change the subject.

"No we're not." Kyo shouted. "I'm going to beat that Damn Yuki to school." Kyo said picking up his bag and running out the house.

Yuki got slowly to his feet picked up his bag and walked after the cat to school.

….

….

Shigure sat with Hatori in his office. He told him what had happened this morning.

"It doesn't sound to good." Hatori said stumping out his cigarette. "From what I have heard she keeps fainting waking up with headaches, its not going to be long before something goes wrong. I don't know what Akito is doing but what ever it is its not going to be good is it."

Shigure shock his head. "What ever Akito plans its not good."

….

….

Yuki and Kyo sat at their desk. The school bell had just rang and people were arriving for class.

The Prince Yuki fan song echoed from the hallway where screaming Prince Yuki fans waited for a glimpse of their beloved prince.

Both the cat and the rat took no notice as the door opened and a brown haired girl walked in.

"Sorry I'm late."

They both jolted in there seats. The familiar voice cutting right through them. They looked up at the person who spoke and suddenly they knew whom the girl in their dreams was.
