3. The answer is not 42!

"Hey you!" Kyo burst into Yuki's room.

"Do you ever knock?" The rat scowled at his intruder from behind his desk. Kyo brushed off this comment and aproched Yuki.

"I came here to ask you something, ya' know."

"What then?"

"Well I, uh..." Kyo faltered. "That is, um... I came to ask you to help me with something!" He blurted out all at once, his face red.

"Really? Why are you asking me and not Shigure?" Yuki's eyebrows raised in amusement.

"Because Shigure's an idiot." Kyo said.

"Well, what do you want?" Yuki leaned back in his chair.

"I kneed help with my, uh, my- my homework" Kyo held up a math book with a stiff arm and didn't meet Yuki's eyes.

"What are you blushing about?" Yuki asked as he took the book from Kyo.

"Shut-up!" Kyo shouted, his cheeks glowing more intense than before. "You're absolutely ridiculous." Though what Kyo thought was ridiculous (and embarrassing) was that he had to ask the rat for help.

Yuki moved to his bed and layed the math book in front of him. Flipping through the pages he found a folded peace of notebook paper wedged in between the pages.

"This the page you're on?"

"Yeah."

"Come sit on the bed, this may take a while for me to explain." Yuki said giving the cat a smirk.

The two sat on Yuki's bed for quite sometime, both leaning over Kyo's math book. Both of them were rather annoyed with the other.

"No, the answer is not 42! That's much too high!" Yuki snapped when Kyo got the same problem wrong for the third time.

"Well you said 7 was too low!" Kyo said throwing a crumpled piece of paper at Yuki. The rat knocked the paper away and glared at the cat.

"How about trying a number somewhere in between 7 and 42, like 27! Which is, by the way, the correct answer! I don't even know how you got 7! There's something wrong with your brain."

"What?" Fire lept in Kyo's eyes. "I dare you to say that again!"

"I don't need this tonight!" Yuki declared and stormed out of his own room.

"Hey! Don't you walk away from me!" Kyo followed Yuki out to the hallway and hurled his math book at him. To his displeasure the rat side stepped and avoided the heavy object that was flying at him. Kyo roared very loudly and ran after Yuki.

The two thrashed through the house with many shouts of "Damn rat!" from Kyo and "I'm not in the mood for this tonight!" from Yuki.

Kyo drew his fist back and was about to let it fly when suddenly he stopped. A look of awe washed over his face and he lowered his fist.

"What?" Yuki inquired, not lowering his defense.

"I get it."

"What?"

"I get it! Just now, I understand it now!" Kyo ran back upstairs, stopped halfway , and ran back down. He looked at Yuki, who was still standing in the same spot.

"Uh, thanks... I guess." he said before running upstairs again.

Fin.

I thought this was cute -, please R&R
