Chapter Two - You Suck
"Kyou-kun no suke be!"
"SHUT UP!"
Kyou and Shigure were at it this time. The only other time that this very situation had happened was when Kyou had walked Tohru home, many years ago. Despite the fact Tohru had thought Kyou was a pervert wandering through the woods (as Shigure described there being molesters walking about. Despite the fact Shigure Sohma was the only meandering pervert of the woods surrounding the house.) That was possibly what had inspired the insult/tease. "Kyou wa koi..."Tohru whispered, causing Shigure to squeal with joy and immediately fetch his pen and paper.
"Yeah, we're going to an arcade for our date. They've got this new game there--- Dansu Dansu Reborushun and you can compete," Kyou cackled at the thought of causing Yuki's demise at the medium of DDR. "It sounds wonderful and I want to try it."
"Maybe you should take Machi with you, Yuki?" Shigure suggested between inking Tohru and snickering. "Would you like a taste of death Shigure?" Yuki growled as he flew in from the kitchen and grabbed his older cousin by the front of the robe.
"Now, now, Yuki-- Anger is unbefitting of a Prince as you're self."
"I'll kill you… I'll hang you from the roof… I'll send you through it instead…"
"Ho ho ho…" Shigure snickered as he fanned himself (The 'Shi' kanji imprinted upon it.).

Kyou enter 'Kami Game Hut' and looked around. "Interesting…" Kyou said, grudgingly as Yuki entered beside him. "Is that it?" said Sohma asked pointing at a large machine with two people upon the mats, dancing erratically, one leaning on a bar attached to the machine for support(as it looked)--- Tohru recognize both of them. "Hatsuharu-san! K-… Koichi-san…" Tohru was amazed to find the blonde haired Sohma. "Ah… Tohru-san… It's nice to see you, again." A wolfish smile had appeared upon his face as he looked upon the girl.
Haru, on the other hand was playing 'Healing Vision Angelic Mix on Oni mode and had so far, gotten a 500+ combo. "SIX-HUNDRED COMBO!" was heard before a vast amount of applause from the game. He stepped off and smiled at Tohru, tottering over to Yuki and latching onto the grey sleeve of his fancy Japanese style shirt. "Yuki-san…." He said as he smiled, dreamily at Yuki. "Hello, Haru," Yuki said, flatly.
After a basic exchange of words between the lot, Kyou and Yuki stepped up to the metal playing mats. 'Select Music' and the pair were off. Not long after--- playing on light mode was advanced to playing heavy. The music of 'The Legend of Max' by ZZ, faded out, Kyou stood with an 'AAA' rating and Yuki with--- "An 'E' rating? You know that's the-" "The best? Of course I do," Yuki snapped. "The worst," said Haru simply.
In that moment, Kyou stood tallest. "Well, obviously--- There's something wrong with this pad. I won't be insulted. Baka Neko, you get on the Player Two pad and I'll get on the one you're on," Yuki snapped simply. "WHY DO I GOTTA GET THE CRUDDY ONE!"
"Kyou, he's just angry because he can't play DDR on any form of level. Yuki sucks and he just wants to cover it up with childish emotions he's kept locked up since he met Tohru and since he's been going to the mix school," Kouichi said, despite the fact he'd been quite all this time. "Honda-san--- I do beg you forgive Yuki's stupid---"
"Quiet, Kouichi!" Snapped Yuki.
"Why? It's not my fault you're continually useless and one who bottles up his emotions. Yuki-kun, you're as useless as that older brother of you- ITAI!"
A fist had landed hard in Kouichi's face as he was cut off. "Don't you dare say such things about Yuki," Black Haru hissed. "YOU BASTARD!"
"Ah… Braku Haru-kun… Your dear Yuki is useless…" Kouichi's eyes seemed to have changed. 'It seems we have become a fighting manga again…' Thought Tohru lightly. Her brown eyes filled with concern as she scurried up to Kouichi. "Kouichi-san wa daijobu, desu?"
"Honda-san!" "Tohru!" Kyou and Yuki had both shouted to her, but to no avail.
"Don't be so worried about me, Honda-san… You should be more concerned about yourself!" Kouichi's voice suddenly became a bellow as his right hand flew to her throat. 'What's going on! Okasan--- TASKATE!' She yelled in her head, but suddenly the pressure exerted upon her throat had vanished.
"Daijobu, desu--- Honda-san?" Yuki offered her a hand up as Kyou battled against Kouichi aided by Black Haru. "W-what happened? Is Kouichi-san also black?"
"Yes… I apologize for not informing you sooner. He is not possessed by an animal, but by another form of curse as Akito and the other incarnation of 'God' is. You see, Kouichi suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder and some heavier aspects of his curse. He can become black or any other form of person and we never know when it will happen." Yuki then dashed into battle as Kyou and Haru were knocked aside. "Kyou-kun! Hatsuharu-san! Are you okay!" Both boys seemed fairly badly injured as they shakily stood.
Yuki fell in battle next as Tohru looked up. "Sohma-kun!" Kouichi advanced on the four a feeling of malice crept in the air.
"Kouichi…" The blonde boy stopped, dead in his tracks as the voice rang out again. "As I've told you many, many times before--- Do not ridicule people." A woman stood in the doorway, long black hair falling to her hips, bangs falling into her blue eyes.
"Ane-san…" Kouichi spoke this word with all respect. "Gomen nasai… Ja matta, ne?" He scurried out of the game place and grabbed the girl's hand as she led him away.
'Who… Who was that?' The bewildered Honda girl wondered.

"-A long haired girl with dark hair? Sounds much like Rin if anything," Shigure gave his views on the girl's appearance. They were chatting about it over Soba noodles had Tohru made, Kyou and Yuki looking badly battered, Shigure looked amazingly amused. "And let's not forget that asshole Kouichi started strangling Tohru," Kyou hissed as his pupils thinned, becoming more cat-like out of anger.
"We managed to stop him from causing collateral though. No one other then us was hurt--- right Yuki?" Hatsuharu joined them once again from a bathroom break as his cheek had started bleeding again. ("No blood in the noodles, Haru-kun," Shigure had said.)
A finger brushed lightly across the finger marks on Tohru's neck. The brunette shivered as she looked up and met Kyou's eyes. "A-ara? What is it Kyou-kun?" She questioned.
"I'm worried about you… You're too good to me… If we lost you… If I lost you… we'd never be the same…" The orange haired cat's eyes watered slightly as Tohru smiled and hugged him.
-Poof-
"Kyou neko wa kawaii, desu ne?" The rest of the boys laughed as Tohru held up a transformed Kyou. "You did that on purpose didn't you?" Kyou hissed and hopped down from his held-up position. "Anata wa kawaii desu…" Kyou said as he slunk out of the room.

Voices were heard distantly in a dark room in the Sohma house. Three people sat within its confines as a boy's voice echoed across the bedroom. Sunlight was held back by traditional Japanese screens. The boy sat in a futon in the center of the room.
"Kouichi… How dare you attack the Honda girl, Yuki, and Hatsuharu… You great lumbering idiot…" The boy, with ear tails spoke to Kouichi and- "Aoi!"
"Hai, Kasami-dono?" The girl from the arcade who had led Kouichi away said from a corner. Her hair was now pulled back in a tight bun and she sat back from the two boys.
'Kasami' moved himself slightly on the futon, turning over the hot pillow to the cold side. "See to it Kouichi is 'dealt' with…" A twisted grin held back the pale cheeks, exposing unhealthily white teeth. His demon eyes flickered with malice.

K. n. P.: That's my chapter two. I suppose it's a tad longer then the last installment, but length doesn't matter. I plan on doing an FMA fic after this one is done. Anyway. Here's Kyou with the Accu Weather Forecast.
Kyou: Why the hell do I have to do it? And in this! in tutu
K. n. P.: Because I laff you that much. Yuki opens arms very much
Kyou: There is a 60 chance that this chapter is done and 30 chance Kouichi will get his ass kicked and not retaliate.
K. n. P.: Chapter three is almost done.
