"Girushima Sohma?" Kyou's eyes widened at the realization of the name. Girushima was part of the Sohma family tree, categorized as the neko many, maaaaany generations ago. This probably explained the faded prints and yellow dyed pages by the years of imprisonment in a dark section of the library. But this so happened that the same guy went to their same school, as so marked in the Sohma Family Journal.
"That's right, you heard me," Arisa squinted at the small gold print, proof-reading it once again checking it's existance. Perhaps her eyes were playing tricks on her after the tiresome adventure, but it was clear and imprinted there, upon the cover, "you guys firmiliar with him?"
The novelist paused, resting a thoughtful finger on his chin, making his appearance almost serene for once, not the usual goofy smirk radiating from him within each visitor, "Eh yes!" the great return of the stupid grin was plastered on Shigure's face, "He was Kyou's great, great, great, great, great…….. erm….. great, great…. 7……. Great, eight, yes great, eight times, grandfather!" he sweatdropped at his very confusing statement. Kyou could see the doubt forming in Arisa's dark eyes, signaling she didn't take a word of what the pervert had just said. Maybe the grandfather part was convincing but the too many 'great's got in the way.
The neko sighed and spoke up before Arisa could retort, "he was an old novelist like mr. perv and probably a moron like him too. I don't know why his book's so important to us but in our case it's not explaining much now is it?" his scowl could probably convince most people, but Arisa was not part of the most-people group. She was an individual to believe her own things and not what others actually believed…… In other words, Arisa was like Kyou, and outcast going her own way barely managing to stay in touch with social life. Il seemed like a thick fog of endless sufference, but after she reminded herself that others didn't matter against her opinion, the mist seemed to lift itself.
Even after his explanation, her skeptical gaze never left his yes she didn't answer.
"Hmm not so sure about that my dear carrot!" Shigure now sat with the book opened in his lap. The poem that they previously viewed was once again, illuminated by sunlight pouring in from the window but it somehow seemed clearer, "There seems to be other poems in the book, and this, my friend, is only the beginning!"
"I don't get it though," Arisa pointed a word at the last verse of the poem, "Feline? Why feline?"
At the sound of those particular words in one sentence, Kyou's gaze became shifty.
Shigure waved a hand dismissively, "A moronic guy like me yes?" he laughed sheepishly sounding drunk.
"Ugh, you guys are impossible!" the blonde exclaimed rising up suddenly and snatching the book away, "Carrot-top!"
Kyou gulped at the mention of his name and looked up, "w-what?"
"Your grandfather right! Well then, this has to do something with you doesn't it?" her bitterness made the youngest male shiver.
"How the hell does feline have to do with me? Could've been for other people like my father!" he spat back.
"That's it Orange-brat! If you're not gonna show some more trust out on me, then I'm leaving this mystery for yourself to solve!"
"What did you say! Brat? Then you're a whore yankee! I don't even need your help!"
"Fine!"
"Fin-" POOF!
Kyou had tried to rise from his sitting position as well, to reveal himself tougher than that but tripped in the process and had unfortunately leaned on Arisa by instincts.
Now it was a small orange-furred kitty staring up at the traumatized blonde. This felt like eternity yet it was only mere seconds before Kyou poofed back to himself…… naked.
.
"Stop poking me!" the angered-cat-transforming-human hollered at the giggling female.
"I can't believe it! :poke poke: You're a cat! :poke poke: No wonder cats follow you around! :poke poke: and not to mention the hair:poke poke: I guess our mystery is solved about the feline of time hmm Kitty-Kyon-Kyon! :poke poke POKE:" Her poking session was mainly caused because of the shock of the new revelation before her eyes. Shigure on the other hand stayed calm but his eyes became somber.
"Kyou…… I think we have to call in Hatori?"
Kyou's ears perk up, he looked exactly like a cat who had just heard the word "vet." He seemed overly shocked for a second but then narrowed his eyes, "What! You're not gonna tell Akito?"
The novelist paused for a second then replied, "Well, I should discuss it with Hatori first. Then we'll decide if it's in our best interest to tell him."
The orange-neko sighed but he knew it was for the best. Shigure wasn't the man to let that kind of situation down.
"Huh? Hatori? So sup with the cat transformation? And what does that have to do with telling people? And how does Kyon-Kyon do that anyway? I might turn into a fish for him," her smirk seemed to be driving Kyou to insane blushing this time. A fish…… for him! What did she mean by that?
"Everything will be explained my dear girl, I'll invite him tonight," Shigure smiled. Hatori, the seriously hot doctor…… visiting……
"Yeah, yeah whatever…… So Kikyon?" Arisa resumed to her poking fest.
"Kikyon? Kikyon! What do you mean by…… Kikyon?" his blush only deepened.
"Well seeing you're a cat…… might as well mix Kitty with Kyon! Or would you prefer Foxy-Kyon?" Her sly smirk seemed to have sinistered in the few seconds passed.
"F-f-fox! I'm not a kitsune! And whaddaya mean foxy! I-I…… wha……" those moments were called the freak outs of Kyou where he had no idea how to retort.
"Orange like a fox! Well…… most foxes…… And foxy meant for good-looking, geez are you so people-illiterate these days?" her smile disappeared as she started to laugh. That magnificent laugh Kyou always adored. Not mocking, nor evil in any way…… just her laugh.
"Knock it off!"
"Want me to make you tuna sandwich?"
"No!"
.
Tohru had come home carrying many supplies of grocery and freaked out after knowing Hatori would come over. She quickly apologized for not calling home to know if special occasions were made then rushed back to the store leaving Yuki desperate. The prince then turned around and marched back out the door.
Shigure was cleaning the house up for his dear guests while humming a tune to himself while Kyou layed silently on the roof, gazing at the sunset.
The sun portrayed many emotions at once, never to be understood by reckless men in life. To some it was a source of life, without it, everyone would die of cold and the world would've never been born…… the world not being born, to Kyou it meant more than death. It meant being free from the curse and never coming to life. But for some odd reason, it gave a warmth and hope, another source of comfort when one knows they'd never feel real warmth again.
Yet, the sun always seemed to be depressed after it met the border of the horizon. It gave a dull reddish glow barely lighting the sky surrounding it, then died behind the face of the earth until the time came for it to resurrect. It was like darkness threatened to swallow it whole for the rest of eternity, letting humans die slowly, and painfully on a small world.
Low muttereing under the roof in which Kyou layed seemed almost relaxing. Like a soft yet monotone lullaby, caressing his ears. After what seemed like hours, the orange-head dozed off……
.
"You always failed to beat the Yuki…… what will I do with you my dear cat? Would you want to be locked up in the basement for the rest of your life? I'm sure you'll die painfully down there……"
"No…… please…… I don't like the dark……"
"But Kyou, you failed. Or there might be something else as punishment……"
"Please…… anything…… Please Akito-sama……"
A dark figure loomed over the frightened Kyou. His eyes were wide with fear as for his hands shook uncontrollably upon the cold, ciment floor.
"I would enjoy seeing you in much pain…… Then it would end your sufference, you'll be free to walk the streets of Japan after this……" Akito's chilling lips curved into a smirk one could never forget.
"Arigatou A-Akito-sama……" The orange-neko bowed deeply, not daring to get up anytime now. He shivered at the feeling of sharp nails tracing the line of his jaw. Somehow it seemed like the fingers became softer within each stroke until they brought his face up. Instead of those cold eyes, warmer and gentle ones met his.
"Kyon? Why are you here?" her words were so soft.
"Ari-wha? Why are you-?" he looked around. This was her apartment alright.
"What? You mean this is your house? Oh yes, you sure have a lot of lipstick and eye liner," Arisa mused, "And why are you bowing, kneeling or whatever? I'm not your goddess……"
Kyou looked away, "Thought you were…… Akito."
"Oh that guy…… well I'm sure he'd love to dye his hair blonde," she snorted.
"Shut up yankee…… I-" it felt like an invisible hand ripped his bracelet off, 'No! Not this! Not now!'
Arisa's eyes widened as Kyou yelled in agony. His body seemed to evolve into something else rather than a small cat.
The orange-head looked frantically around for his beads but couldn't seem to find them. His anger seemed to rise as a distant laugh echoed through is head. The blonde seemed unable to move and just stared at him, shocked.
The red and dying glow from the sun radiated off his demon face.
Kyou's legs moved on their own…… towards the female who seemed even more frightened by the step, 'No…… Arisa…… Get out- g-get out!' it was no use, the words he spoke only came out as a muffled roar.
It happened in those dreadful seconds…… Swinging those macabre claws down upon the traumatized blonde…… seizing her by the neck…… her stiffled scream…… his other clawed hand going through her heart…… a shrill yell... the blood…… then silence……
This all happened too fast. Why did this happen to him anyway!
He could hear himself cry inside, screaming her name mentally, it felt like his ear drums would burst within the minute. Why her, why Arisa Uotani of all people, he didn't want this. No, he could've suffered the painful death in the basement instead…… not this…… why did he accept? He was a monster, the most stupid guy of all…… No wonder none of the zodiacs accepted him as one, always a failure to protect, always a burden to bare, in the end, ones life was taken away.
His hands were covered in blood…… he let the emotionless corpse fall to the ground then sank to his knees himself, "Arisa... no... why... no... not you... why couldn't it have been me! WHY!" Crimson liquid slowly spread itself over the floor as for a wound on the girl's shirt grew. The blonde's hair no longer held the same shine, but seeped in with dark red, her own. He gazed down at her body, her lifeless eyes held back so many tears.
"I love you... Uotani... I'm so sorry... I didn't... I didn't let time for you... no... no..."
The grand mirror in her lovely room showed who he was…… The knife that had oddly appeared in his hands were covered in blood…… her blood…… He got up……. And walked to the window……
The sun had now been overwhelmed by the darkness of the sky and died behind the earth's surface as chilling winds blew, rattling the leaved of the tree in the yard.
A sinister song.
He tapped his fingers on the glassy window.
Slide…… click…… click……
Grinced his teeth together.
click... click...
Then he threw himself out.
