Chapter 5; Shit Happens

A/N: For some reason, I couldn't load this into the document manager thing. But I fixed that! So now you have this chapter! Yay!

Daisuke-n-dark: First of all, I have to say THANK YOU! I LOVE getting reviews that tell me what they like about the story, and what I could change to make it better. And about the grammar/spelling mistakes I have this unoriginal yet true excuse: I am not from an English speaking country. I'm Swedish, and I live here, so if you look at it from THAT point of view, the grammar and spelling is actually quite good. I will, however, take your advice and reread my chapters before posting them. I've noticed a lot of wrongs before when doing that, so why wouldn't I do it now?

Vixen: No, Kyo remembers most of his past life, but would YOU remember saying something like that? I think not! Hohoho! And about Kyoko, Kyo is still able to talk to her, but I just figured too much of Kyoko would be annoying. Don't worry, though, she'll pop up here and there!

Animefreak: Yes, Yuki will talk to Kyo.

Kouseki Yume: Yes, I had to kill Kyo. If I didn't, I wouldn't have a story, now would I? And no, Kyoko is NOT a lesbian.

Symbolica Desire: Yes, Kyo still loves Tohru!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed!

"COCORICO!" It was 7 am, and Cocorico had decided to learn French. Kyo rolled around in his bed, and hit Cocorico's head, as if he was an alarm clock. Surprisingly enough, Cocorico immediately stopped making sounds, and was standing there being completely still.

Kyo groaned and tried to open his eyes, feeling miserable. The pattering sound that came from the window told him it was raining outside. He lifted himself up on his elbows before he sighed and decided it wasn't worth it, even though it was a Monday and a school day. He let go and fell back to the bed and went back to sleep almost immediately.

Only five minutes later, however, Kyoko appeared with a loud puff that woke Kyo up AGAIN!

"WAKE UP, SLEEPY POO!" She yelled happily. It was funny how unlike Kyo she was, even though she was almost an exact replica of him with boobs.

"Shut up!" He groaned and buried his head in the pillow.

"Oh, come on, Kyo-chan! It's a beautiful Monday morning!"

"Have you even SEEN the weather today?"

"No, why?"

Kyo gave her a look that made her twirl around and look out the window. He saw her shoulders slump together, and she fell to her knees.

"I was wrong! Let's ditch!"

But Kyo was already asleep.

Yuki looked out the window of his office. It was still raining. He sighed and looked through the papers on his desk, trying to distract himself from the weird feeling in his stomach.

Suddenly a bright light flickered behind him, and a very feminine woman with naturally grey hair appeared. Yuki couldn't actually SEE her, but he still knew something was behind him because of his awesomeness that made him always win over the cat.

Kyo.

Yuki shook his head, trying to shake off the uneasiness he always felt when being reminded of Kyo. His guardian leaned down and whispered something in his ear. A small smile crept across his face when he looked out the window again. The rain was ceasing and the sun was breaking through the clouds, making the day much lighter.

A woman with big, brown, curly hair and big glasses came in through the door.

"Sohma-kun, you have a meeting this afternoon at 3. Don't forget!"

He smiled. "Don't worry, I won't!"

At the same time, with another person known as Sohma Shigure-sensei, annoyance spread through the hallways. He was torturing Mitcchan again, and even Tohru was beginning to wonder when he would give the poor woman a break and actually give her his work in time.

But everybody, even Mitcchan herself, knew that would never ever happen as long as the sun was still shining upon mother earth.

After all, torturing her was the biggest hobby he still had. The other one had died.

"Tooohru-kun! What's for dinner today?" Shigure asked when he walked into the kitchen, only to realize it wasn't Tohru who was standing there.

"SENSEI! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"

But Shigure was already gone.

Riiiing . . . Riiiing . . . Riiii—

Tohru quickly picked up the ringing phone saying "Sohma residence. Honda Tohru speaking."

"Ah, hello Honda-san! This is Keiko!"

"Keiko-san? What is it?"

"Well, I'm sorry if this seems rude, but I wanted to ask you if you were busy tonight."

"No, I'm totally and absolutely free tonight, why?"

"I have a meeting at work, so I was wondering if you could baby sit Kyo and Tae?"

"I DON'T NEED A BABYSITTER!" Kyo's hollering could be heard from the other end.

"Of course not, dear!" Keiko answered robot-y and automatically.

"Sure, just send them over and me, Shigure-san and Sohma-kun will take care of them!"

"Wonderful! You're a life saver, Honda-san, have I ever told you that?"

"No."

"I haven't? Well, I guess I'll just have to say it more often then. Anyways, I got to scram! Thanks again!"

Keiko hung up, and a few seconds later Tohru did the same. She could hear Mitccan's sobbing in the kitchen, but didn't bother with checking up on her. She was doomed to a life full of stress, and there was nothing Tohru could do about it.

Tohru had become more careless, it seemed to the ones who knew her before Kyo's death, but they figured that was just her way of handling the pain, and then it became a part of her that wouldn't ever go away.

Just like Yuki had become more introverted and depressed and hardly ever smiled.

Nobody knew they were the ones Kyo's death inflicted most damage on. Not physically, but mentally. It even changed their personality a bit. It still hurt.

A couple of hours later Keiko swung by and dropped off her two kids before disappearing again. Kyo was scowling and looking very angry for some reason, and Taeko just looked like a normal 12 year old girl who still had a babysitter.

Really, Tohru thought, Keiko was being just a tad overprotective of them.

"Oh!" Shigure said from behind her. "We have guests today! The cat and the cat's sister, the tadpole!"

"SHUT UP!" Both Kyo and Taeko yelled, causing Tohru to jump high.

"Now, now, little kids shouldn't be swearing, and you know it. Now off you go little animals!" He waved his hands, to shoo them away in another direction.

Taeko glared at him, because a normal 12 year old girl who still had a babysitter wasn't a very friendly 12 year old girl.

Kyo, however, was amazed the 42 year old was STILL as childish as he'd always been. He smirked, and the smirk became a smile, which became a grin. Soon he was laughing loudly, and everybody in the room stared oddly at him.

"Are you sick, Nii-san?" Taeko put her hand on his forehead to check his temperature. "Nope…"

"WHY WOULD I BE SICK? AM I NOT ALLOWED TO LAUGH?"

"I've never heard you laugh like that before." The three said in union before they started laughing as well, at Kyo. Kyo, who was offended, rushed off to the roof. He picked up Cocorico from his pocket, as the feather ball was very small and easily fit.

He put the chicken on his stomach and watched him stand there and look around. After a while he heard a car park outside the house, and a car door open.

"Oh, Sohma-kun! You're home!" Tohru said, and supposedly smiled in Kyo's mind. "We have a surprise for you?"

It was funny, Kyo thought, how Tohru still called Yuki Sohma-kun.

"Really? What?" Yuki said without any real interest.

"Kyo-kun and Tae-chan is here!"

Yuki was about to say "How is that a good thing?" but stopped himself just in time to say something else.

"Oh, that's nice. Where are they?"

"I'm not sure where exactly Kyo-kun is, but Tae-chan is in the kitchen with Shigure-san, having a blast. Kind of."

"Kind of… Well, let's go in then!" Yuki said with fake happiness and secretly hoped he wouldn't be seeing Kyo.

And he pretty much didn't. Kyo didn't come down from the roof until 8 o'clock, and that was because Tohru FORCED him down with violence. But not really, she just asked him nicely if he could come down and have some food.

And that means they're now in the kitchen eating some sandwiches that Tohru made. Now, I COULD go into detail about the sandwiches, but I don't think anybody really cares that much, so let's just say there were cheese. Lots of cheese. And tuna! Can't forget that yummy tuna!

"What do you think everyone?" Tohru asked everybody in the kitchen. The ones in the kitchen were, from the left, Mitcchan, bugging Shigure next to her, who was ignoring her by talking to Yuki next to him who wasn't talking and just looked utterly weird and unmanly where he sat with crossed legs next to Tae, who was just simply eating a sandwich next to Kyo, who was sulking and looked very Kyo-like

"These must be the best sandwiches Tohru-kun has ever made!" Shigure said happily, and everyone except Kyo nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Honda-san, they are truly wonderful!" Yuki said followed by more agreeing nods.

"What do you think Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked with horseshoe eyes.

"It…" Kyo's eyes shifted from Tohru's smiling face to Yuki's frowning. And get this: YUKI WAS LOOKING AT HIM! "What? What are you looking at?"

"Nothing special!"

"WHAT?"

"What did you think, Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked nervously.

"IT'S NASTY!"

Everybody in the room, with the exception of Tae and Mitcchan, felt the strange feeling of déjà vu. But the moment of déjà vu only lasted a few seconds before Yuki smacked Kyo over the head. Kyo, who everyone knows is more like a bully than a bullied, attacked at once, and was soon thrown out the paper doors.

"OH MY POOR HOUSE!" Shigure shrieked. And then "Hey, wait, haven't that happened before?"

"Dammit! Kuso Nezumi! I'll send you to hell!" Kyo, and everybody else in the entire universe ignored Shigure completely.

"You can always dream, cat-boy!"

"YOU GIRLY MAN!"

Now, Yuki has become manlier over the years. More buff like and less small and fragile like, if you know what I mean. This changed while he was growing up, after Kyo's death, and before 8 year old Kyo. That means Kyo shouldn't know he was girly before, so how did he know? A mystery…

"How… how did you…?" Yuki was confused and full of fury at the same time.

"How did I what?"

"Why did you say that?" Yuki's eyes darkened and his eyebrows furrowed, making him look like a mad axe killer who wanted to slash all the flesh on Kyo's body into tiny little pieces that he could put in the fridge to later eat them for dinner.

"You idiot!" Kyoko suddenly popped out from nowhere and said. "You're not supposed to know that!"

"Oh, right!"

"Oh right what?" Yuki asked, still looking like a mad axe killer who… you know.

"Oh right I… err… I saw an old picture of you and Tohru and… the last cat!"

The uneasiness Yuki always felt on rainy days, whenever he saw a cat or anything else that reminded him of the old Kyo suddenly flamed up inside him, making him explode. He lost his temper, that is.

Tohru, who for some reason saw the dark murderous aura surrounding the nezumi, laughed nervously.

"Ehehe… would anybody like me to peel an apple for them?"

"I want one!" Tae said and raised her hand.

"I would also like one, Tohru-kun! What about you Mitccan?" Shigure turned to the suicidal Woman next to him.

"NO! AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE EATING PEELED APPLE EITHER! YOU SHOULD GET TO WORK!"

"Yes, yes!" Shigure completely ignored her tear streaked face.

"Shigure-san! This knife is too damp! I'll need something sharper!"

"There is a new knife in the drawer, Tohru-kun!"

Tohru opened the drawer to find an almost razor sharp knife. "Found it!" Tohru started peeling the apples with a determined expression. She was totally oblivious to the fight that was going on next to her.

"BAKA NEKO! I'LL KILL YOU!" Yuki had never lost his temper like this before, Kyo noted. It kind of scared him. He dodged left and right, and blocked three or four attacks. He couldn't get in even one hit. Unconsciously he walked backwards, until he bumped into something soft. With a puff and pink smoke, he turned to a cat. Next to him, whoever he had bumped into fell to the ground.

"Sorry Tohru! It was that idiot's fault!" Yuki pointed at Kyo and held out a hand to help her up. When she didn't respond, he knelt down next to her, and what he saw was horrible.

Tohru was unconscious, with her wrist slit open.

I hate myself for writing this… I make such bad things happen to the Sohmas… First their beloved carrot top and then their lovely onigiri? Am I Insane or something? Yes, I am, but that's beside the point! The point is I'm evil and the evil want reviews.

Hey, I'll give you this to look forward too: Tohru won't die! SHE HAS A SAVIOUR!

I'm feeling slightly idiotic today, and this chapter was very idiot-stylish. Sorry 'bout that! AND IT'S SHORT TOO! Double sorry, with a gomen on the side!
