just so fun.
Kyo and Tohru had made it a daily routine to sit on the roof for a date.
"Hey, Tohru, wanna come with me to the movies tonight?" Kyo asked. Tohru looked nervous.
"Oh, I dunno! I don't want to cause you any trouble!" Tohru told him.
"It's no trouble, I want you there with me." he told her.
"Yes, I'm off work today, so I can watch Kyon while Shigure is at the Main House." Yuki told her.
"Okay, but if he's any trouble, just tell me…" Tohru told the rat
"No problem at all." he said.
-later that night…
"Come on, Tohru, or we'll miss the beginning of the movie!" Kyo yelled from the couch in the
living room. Not that he was mad, though… Tohru came out of her room only to shock Kyo. She was
wearing a sky blue shirt with crescent moons all over it. She also had on a pair of hip-hugging flare jeans
that simply made Kyo's mouth drop. She laughed a little. When they arrived, Tohru finally asked,
"So, what are we seeing?" Tohru asked.
"Boogey Man." Kyo said. Tohru froze. "Don't be scared, I'll be there." Kyo said sounding
suspicious of something. Tohru inched herself in the theater. "Close you eyes if you want, but, what if I get
scared?" Kyo asked. This seemed to instantaneously 'thaw' Tohru from her 'frozen' state.
"I'll be there!" Tohru said bravely. Kyo smiled tenderly.
Throughout the whole movie, Tohru was scared out of her pants. She left for the bathroom at least
three times. She buried her face in Kyo's shoulder when she looked away.
When they came back, Tohru was a mess…
"What happened?" Yuki stood and asked. Tohru didn't answer.
"We saw Boogey Man…" Kyo said. Yuki took another look at Tohru.
"H-how, w-w-w-was, K-K-K-Kyon?" Tohru asked, obliviously still scared.
"Oh, he's been busy playing with Wolfie…" Yuki said.
"Hey, Tohru, maybe you should get some sleep…" Kyo suggested. He grabbed her shoulders and
led her to her room. Tohru laid under the blankets. Kyo stayed with her. Kyo slept through all of Tohru's
screaming from nightmares.
-morning…
"Tohru, Tohru, wake up!" Kyo yelled, shaking her. Tohru was sweating and had dark circles under
her eyes and she was jerking around screaming. Yuki and Shigure watched. Tohru's eyes jot open. Kyo said
and relaxed, he kissed her forehead. "You have a fever!" Kyo yelled. "You gave yourself a fever!" he yelled
again. Tohru went to stand up.
"You need to sleep Tohru." Shigure said. She laid down again…. When she woke up, there was
blood all over her sheets.
"Kyo…?" Tohru asked shaking. She stood up to find more blood in the hallway. She walked into
the kitchen and there, on the refrigerator handle was a hand-print in blood. Tohru was about to have a
mental breakdown, knowing that that handprint was smaller than anyone's, the size for an eight year old
hand. Tears began to pour out of her eyes. She opened the freezer slowly. "Aiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!" a
scream was heard. Kyo walked in laughing, behind him was Kyon, also laughing. Tohru looked at their
hands. They were holding packets of fake blood. Tohru was still scared. She fell to the floor frightened to
death. Shigure walked in behind the two cats, also holding fake blood packets. Yuki came with blood
packets in one hand and a clump of modeling wax the color of skin.
"I told you not to do this." Yuki told them.
"Bu-bu-but, the…. Kyon….?" Tohru struggled to make a full sentence.
"I made the head in the freezer, Tohru, it's wax." Yuki told her.
"Well, since no one else has said it…. Happy Halloween!" Shigure shouted. Tohru faked a smile.
Kyo helped her off the floor, still laughing. He tried to stop laughing when he saw how scared Tohru was.
"Mommy, can I go trick or treating?" Kyon asked Tohru.
"umm…" everyone said. Kyon didn't know why everyone was staring at him.
"Kyon, I should talk to you…" Kyo said, kneeling down to his son. Kyon followed his father's
lead. Kyon usually slept in Kyo's room or Tohru's room, since they hadn't finished his room in the attic.
Kyo walked into his room and set his son on the bed. "Kyo, the reason you can't go trick or treating, is
because… we're cursed."
"What do ya' mean?" Kyon asked, confused.
"Well, you know when you bump into a girl, you change into a cat?" Kyon nodded. "That's the
curse. Whenever were hugged by someone of the opposite sex, we changed into an animal."
"So is mommy cursed?"
"No, but I am, Shigure, Yuki, Haru, Momiji, Hatori, Ayame, Kagura, and all the other Sohmas.
And sometimes it's hard to deal with it, but we get over it."
"Why are we the animals that we are?" Kyon asked. Kyo explained the legend of the zodiac. Kyon
took it bad.
"I wonder what Kyo is saying?" Shigure asked. Neither Yuki or Tohru answered. They listened
closely as Kyo explained and Kyon yelled.
"But why! That's no fair!" Kyon yelled.
"He hates me now, I just know it. After he knows the truth, there's no avoiding the fact that the cat
will hate the mouse and the mouse will hate the cat." Yuki thought.
Kyon walked into the living room where everyone gathered, wiping his eyes with his arm. He
looked just like Kyo when Kazuma met him. He walked over to Yuki, stared at him for a moment, then
smiled, as if saying 'that's okay'. Yuki smiled and picked Kyon up.
"Have you ever heard the story of the Lost little Kitten?" Yuki asked the boy. Kyon shook his head
'no'. Tohru smiled as Yuki began. Just before Yuki started, he grinned almost evilly at Kyo.
"oh no…" Kyo whispered.
"Once upon a time, there was a little orange cat, he had no parents, and he cried so much, no one
wanted to come near him. But he was so sad and mad cause everyone yelled at him, and then, one day, a
bigger cat said he would take the cat, and give it a home, and he did… The bigger cat taught the little cat
how to fight with his claws, and soon the little cat was strong, but the bigger cat had to leave, so he left the
little cat, with a tear in his eye. The little cat stayed with his cousins, hoping one day that his only friend
would come back. It had been a month, but no bigger cat. His cousins tried to cheer him up, but he was still
sad. Then one day, a little black cat with no parents came to his cousins house, the little cat grew fond of the
black cat, and soon, they had a baby kitten, and lived happily ever after." Yuki said. Kyon seemed to like
the story, but soon fell asleep.
"Yuki, that was a great story." Tohru complimented.
"Yes, it was, but somehow, I thought: De Ja Vu?" Shigure said. Kyo didn't reply.
"Come, now, Kyo, give my darling little brother some praise for his wonderful story!" Ayame
chirped. Kyo looked shocked.
"How the Hell did you get in here!" Kyo yelled.
"The door, of course, Kyo!"
"I know that, that's not what I meant!" Kyo yelled in anger.
"Oh, hi there, Ayame!" Tohru said.
"I can see who called…… but why?" Yuki thought. Kyon woke up from all the noise, and… it
started to rain, and we know how cranky kids get when they're tired… and when it's raining, and Ayame's
there, oh boy….
"SHUT UP!" Kyon yelled, pulling a pillow over his head. "I WANNA SLEEP!" Kyon began to
beat on the couch. Kyo picked Kyon up.
"I know… I'm annoyed, too…" Kyo said. "How 'bout we sleep in the tent tonight?" Kyo asked.
Kyon nodded gleefully.
"I'll come too, I won't get any sleep in here." Yuki said.
"Oh, would you mind if I came, too?" Tohru asked.
"No, not at all." Kyo said. They set up the tent and went to sleep.
