"Surprize"
"Kyo? Is that you?" Ali asked a little frightened. The orange cat sneezed and it's tail twitched slightly, "Dammit!" He yelled, "Now we are both in big trouble, don't freak out please." He asked tilting his head to his left. Ali blinked for a while in the silence. "It's fine Kyo, to tell the truth I knew." She frowned picking up the black shirt at her side placing it in front of Kyo. Kyo's eyes lowered, "How did you know?" He asked a bit freaked. Ali's eyes shifted as the silence continued. "It's hard to explain. I know you are cursed by the cat and that bracelet you wear is what keeps you from going insane." She spoke lowering her eyes toward the black and white bracelet on the ground. She was memorized by the bright sparkle it let off from the sun. Kyo shook his orange head in puzzlement. "Damn! Why does Akito do this to me?" He yelled with a gruff voice. Ali's eyes flew open, "Akito?" She asked shaking slightly. Gosh I forgot all about him, what am I going to do now that I know Kyo is the cat? She asked herself, her hand to her mouth.
"What's the matter?" Kyo asked looking at the shock on Ali's face. "Do you know who Akito is?" He demanded standing on all four legs. Ali shook her head slightly. "You could say that, I've never actually met him face to face before. I'm kind of scared to." She told Kyo sitting on one knee. "There is plenty to be scared of about him, even his face is hideous." Kyo laughed at his joke. Ali giggled at the joke as well and she felt as though she had become slight friends with the stubborn cat. The silence continued for a while until a puff of smoke engulfed Kyo sending Ali flying to the ground to hide her eyes. "So I guess you knew about this too huh?" He said buttoning his shirt. Ali shook her head that was buried in her arms and she let out a squeak. That was to close. Ali thought to herself as she let out a sigh.
The clock rung through the Sohma house telling them that it was indeed time for bed. Ali finished cleaning up the dishes with Tohru then she retired to her room. Kyo wasn't at dinner either today. She thought a saddened expression on her face. Her stomach felt queasy and her head was light as if it would simply float to the roof. The roof! Ali screamed inside her head. She pulled on her black sweater and quietly walked through the dark house to the sliding door. She flinched at the noise it made when it opened, but she let out a sigh of relief when she was finally out. The night air was cold on her ankles as she walked to gaze at the roof. No kyo. Where is he? She thought sulking, kicking up dust from the ground.
The sliding door opened revealing a pale hand. "Ali-san?" A familiar voice called shutting the door behind him. Shocked, Ali flung around her hand on her heart. "Yuki, you scared me." She gasped laughing slightly. Yuki smiled slipping his hand into his pocket. "Why are you out here, it's cold." He said walking toward her. Ali shook her head. "It's nothing, I was just wanting to look at the moon. It's full tonight." She smiled head toward the sky. Her eyes lowered and the saddened look returned to her face. "Yuki, can I tell you something? Please don't freak about it either if you can." She asked her face turning toward him. A confused look came to his face and he nodded. "Why of course." He told her with confidence. She took a deep breath and clutched her fist. "The truth is, I know about you Yuki." She said a little angry. Yuki walked behind Ali and put his hand on her shoulder. "What about me?" He asked even more confused. Ali stuttered. "I know you are the rat." Her face went cold as Yuki's hand. Only the leaves made a sound in the wind.
