A/N Hey buddies! Sorry about the wait, I just started HIGH SCHOOL! How cool is that? I am now a Kimball High School Freshman! Yay! . I'm so excited, it's really fun! I have a new obsession: HEATH LEDGER! HE IS THE HOTTEST MAN ON EARTH! (8/4/05 nope Colin Farrell is the hottest man alive... ;))Yes Genny, even hotter than Orlando Bloom. Anyways, on with the story.

I smiled evilly when Hatori finished telling us his plan. Little did he know this torture wasn't ending with his plan.

No way, I'mgonna milk this for all it's worth! I can make Shigure do anything I want him to do!

I was still smiling evilly and plotting when I suddenly realized that everyone was out of the car already.

I blushed and hopped out quickly.

I glanced down at the flyer in my hand. 'MISSING DOG' was printed across the top. I laughed and stuck it in my pocket.

We headed up the path to the door. Wow, it looks exactly like in the books!

Hatori knocked, and we heard a voice coming from the roof.

"Hari? Tohru? We're on the roof! Come up, come up!" It was an adult male voice with a childish tone of excitement to it. It had to be Shigure.

Tohru and Ilooked at each other, nervous about what we would find up there.

Hatori sighed, "We might as well go… What will be will be I suppose."

We headed nervously around to the ladder. As we climbed, I heard a soft sort of chuckling and the sound of a struggle. When Hatori got to the top, I saw his jaw drop and just as he started to say 'Oh my god' I heard the sound of tape being ripped off something.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME? HATORI DON'T JUST STAND THERE YOU DUMBASS HELP ME!" A frantic pissed off voice howled.

I got up to the top of the ladder and began to take in the chaotic scene.

Yuki, laughing softly,stood just behind Hatori, who was still standing there like an invalid. Shigure stood at the edge of the roof holding a giant orange puffball.

On closer inspection, I saw that it was an extremely angry cat with all it's fur poofed up.

My jaw dropped.

Shigure couldn't possibly be about to do what I think he is, he's notthat stupid. He looks like he's gonna toss Kyo off the roof!

Tohru's eyes widened as she climbed off the ladder after me and took in the scene, then her jaw dropped and her eyes went all starry. I was suddenly reminded of the slide in the third book when she has an emotional overload.

"Oh Shut up Kyo! It's just a bit of fun you know! Hatori, you remember when Tohru was talking about all the advantages of being a cat right? She said they always land their feet remember? Well, I have decided I'm going to test it!" Shigure announced in a sing-songish voice. He drew back his arms and prepared to throw Kyo off the roof.

Good God, he's insane! I cannot let him throw poor Kyo off the roof! Ihave tostop him!

I rushed across the roof, moving faster than I've ever moved before,and plucked Kyo from his arms.

"Are you insane! You can't just throw him off the roof because you're curious! Curiosity may have killed the cat but it was his own damned curiosity not anidiot dog's!" I snapped.

Kyo was staring at me in what seemed to be amazement. He opened his mouth, then shut it, then opened it again and gave a very unconvincing, "Meow?"

I laughed, and then jumped back when I saw Shigure inching closer, his eyes on Kyo.

"Gimme back my kitty!" Shigure pouted.

Kyo hissed, this time actually sounding like a cat.

I backed over to Tohru, whispered, "Do it now!" and backed a few more steps. She snapped out of her trance like state and grinned.

"Oh Shigure I was so worried! You were so close to the edge and I'm sorry I didn't do anything but I just couldn't move!" Tohru gushed, inching closer and closer to Shigure. He looked slightly surprised, then looked at me as if just realizing he didn't know me.

He's so oblivious when he's having fun, just like in the books.Here it goes!

Tohru pretended to trip and fell right into Shigure's arms. There was athud and then a little black dog was sprawled in his place.

Perfect! He looks identical to the dog on the flyer!

I set Kyo down and said softly, "If you ever have to meow in public, you are so screwed! Nice try though Kyo. By the way, I'm Nicole, the exchange student from America."

His eyes widened and then realization dawned on him, "You read that stupid dogs manga, don't you?"

I nodded then stood and walked over to Shigure. Hatori was already at his side, I don't want to know what he was saying, something scary no doubt.

"So, I've finally met the great Natsuki Takaya. I'm Nicole, it's nice to meet you."

A/N How will Shigure react? What is Hatori's revenge? You can probably already guess the revenge. It was gonna be in this chapter but I can't feel my fingers and I still have to do my math homework. Until next time, Review me and Goodbye! Zanica Valentine
