"There's going to be a bad storm tonight Kyo! You might want to come home straight after school!" Shigure, dressed in an apron, yelled after the three teens as they walked out the door.

"Yes, MOTHER." The cat growled back, and scowled to himself. Jeez, why did it have to rain? The last time it rained… Kyo looked down at the black and white beads. The cat looked up the road at Tohru and Yuki who were holding hands, if it wasn't for them, he thought, then shut it out. It was stupid, he shouldn't be worried about himself, it was Miaka he should worry about.

"Why did I leave her alone with last night, how could I have done that to her?" he muttered to himself. He sighed, and prayed she was okay. He looked back to the two ahead of him. He thought he had saw they were holding hands. It was weird though; Kyo felt nothing. He should have been aggravated, and jealous, but there was nothing. He cared for Tohru so much, and hated that damn rat, but… Kyo smiled, Miaka took his anger away.

Tohru looked at Miaka sitting in her seat. There was a large bruise on the side of her face; it had even broke open, leaving a scab in the middle. Her lip was split, and it must have still hurt, because the girl kept hiding it her mouth. Tohru longed to help her, but didn't know what to say. After her and Yuki got home from school, Shigure and Hatori told them everything.

"Looks like she got in a pretty bad fight," Uo-chan noted beside her, " that bruise, they only split like that after it's been hit more than once in the same place… hard too." Tohru sighed; she hoped Kyo could do something…

"Stop grinding your teeth," Yuki said to the cat, "It's annoying." The cat flipped around to his cousin.

"Excuse me!" he hissed, "Why don't you back of you damn rat!"

"I would if I didn't have to sit next to you." He stated calmly.

"Its NOT ASSIGNED SEATS!"

"Well someone has to make sure you don't do something stupid."

"WHO YOU CALLING STUPID!" Kyo yelled, "THAT'S IT! OUTSIDE! RIGHT NOW!" Yuki just shook his head; he wasn't looking for a fight.

"Calm down fool." He said getting more annoyed, but it just fed Kyo's anger.

"FOOL? EXCUSE ME BUT I'M NOT THE LOVE FOOL!" he hissed, "AND WHAT WAS WITH YOU AND TOHRU THIS MORNING! WHY DON'T YOU TWO GET A ROOM!" Kyo put a hand over his mouth as soon as he had said it. Three Prince Yuki Fan Club girls in the seats in front of them turned their heads completely around, exorcist style. Their mouths hung open. Yuki glared at Kyo. The cat had not seen him this pissed in a while.

"Listen you damn waste of life," he growled, "Why don't you use that god damn anger of yours towards something productive, like protecting the people you care about. Not hurting Miss Honda. You might stop grinding your god damn teeth if you actually act on your feelings for once instead of being such a god damn coward." With that the rat got up and walked out of class shaking with anger, an embarrassed Tohru right on his heels. Kyo watched speechless. He was a coward, wasn't he?

"Umm… d, do you people realize I'm still teaching?" the English teacher asked nervously, but no one noticed.

Kyo got home alone, still thinking about those bruises and the words Yuki had said. He shouldn't have left her there alone; he should have stood up for her. He bit his tongue, what was all that training for, if he was a coward?

"But I still can't beat that damn rat." He hissed to himself, but was that a good excuse? The cat entered the kitchen, looked around, where was everyone. He had though he was going to have to deal with Shigure nagging him about everything. It was odd for no one to be home. Kyo opened the door to the living room froze in fear. Outside rain began to fall, and lighting flashed on Akito's pale face.
