SORRY IT'S BEEN SO LONG! I've been banned from the computer for like FOREVER. I'm back on now, though.

MP: Oh, and that makes your poor tortured readers sooo happy.

Me: Hey! Are you insulting my writing?

MP: As a matter of fact, I am.

Me: Well, if it's so bad, why do I HAVE any readers, huh?

MP: Well, why do you think they do?

Me: Um, cuz they're nice?

MP: No. They're all masochists. Your writing gives them their pain fix.

Me: I TOLD YOU TO STOP INSULTING MY READERS!

So, like, yeeah. I don't own Furuba.

REVEIWAH WORSHIP!

Miko-Catlover: Uh... it's a copy of Kyo's list... you know, what said "HOW TO BE KYO AND SEMI-NORMAL FOR HIM ANYWAY LIST"? And yes. I am a guy.

MP: Male, male, male.

Me: Must you rub it in?

MP: Yes.

Me: Anyway, have another one.

XO'MagickMoon'OX: I LOVE YOU!

MP: They're just being merciful...

Me: Urusai!

MP: -readies a voodoo vortex-

Me: AAUGH!

MP: ON WITH IT!

Me: But first, have a paper ball.

Awakening, Chapter 4

Yuki's POV

Yuki stared at the paper ball.

Why.. what?, he thought incoherently.

He opened the paper ball, and it read, "HOW TO BE KYO AND SEMI-NORMAL FOR HIM ANYWAY LIST." He stared at the last word for a couple of seconds, but it was no use. It still made absolutely no sense. Then it dawned on him: it wasn't Kyo who wrote this! It was an alien who was going to kill Kyo and impersonate him! Kyo must know about it but hypnotised not to talk about it! That was why Kyo threw it to him- IT WAS A MESSAGE! He, Yuki Sohma, must SAVE THE WORLD FROM EEEVIL ALIENS!

Yuki is REEEALY not a morning person.

Then it occurred to him that Kyo had ATTACKED him.

That.. that IDIOT...

Kyo's POV

Tohru served Kyo some ramen. (A/N: Ramen is not a breakfast food, is it? Gomen nasai...)

"Thanks, Tohru"

"Oh, you're quite wel-"

"THAT STUPID CAT!"

Flee from the wrath of YUUUUKIIIIII!

An angry, sleepy Godzilla-in-training thundered down the stairs, and hurled a paper ball at Kyos ramen with a great "URRRRAHHH!" The paper ball hit Kyo's chopsticks, which flipped over, taking the bowl of ramen with it. As Yuki laughed evilly, the ball bounced up and hit Kyo in the eye. Kyo fell backwards, intercepting the bowl of ramen. The chopsticks held the ramen in Kyo's hair, and the bowl sat itself neatly on top of his head.

There was a moment of silence and Kyo landed on his butt.

It occurred to Kyo how stupid he must look.

Yuki's POV

Yuki stopped laughing, and looked at the "hat" and "hair" held in place by chopsticks. He thought of laughing...

but then he thought again. Kami-sama, I've awakened a monster!

Then...

Kyo began to laugh.

He fell backwards and rocked back and forth with the force of his mirth, and tears leaked out from beneath his eyelids.

Yuki discovered a previously unknown emotion towards Kyo: concerned. He could fling Kyo against a tree hard enough to break his neck and not give another thought to him, send him through the roof of the second floor and promptly forget about him in favor of lunch, but Kyo sitting here, right in front of him, completely humiliated, and honestly laughing... that was scary. Yuki became terrified for Kyo's sanity.

Tohru looked as worried as he felt.

"A-are you alright, Kyo?"

Kyo laughed again. "Alright? I'm WONDERFUL! It's been too long since I've laughed like that!" He turned to Yuki, and with great effort, assumed a straight face. "Brilliant aim, Yuki." He bowed, and immediately, began laughing once more. "Domo arigato, Yuki. You're hilarious when you need coffee. Just don't brew it yourself this time, 'kay?"

He began laughing even harder, and walked outside.

Yuki stood there, stunned. Did... did Kyo just... THANK me?

"Indeed he did, desu!" Yuki started. Evidently he said that out loud. He watched himself more carefully, and continued thinking.

He.. was so friendly, so genuinely kind and easygoing. And he treated Yuki as a friend. It was so easy, natural... almost...

Pleasant.

That woke him from his thoguhts. He'd been staring at the ground, and he suddenly realized that the paperball was missing from the ground... as well as something else!

Yuki ran to the door, and shouted, "Kyo! Wait!"But Kyo was too far away.

Tohru looked at him questioningly.

Yuki sighed. "He still has the ramen on his head."

-Endy-

LOL! That was fun to write. Longer, too. Yuki's thinking more and more about Kyo. I guess Yuki loved Kyo all along.

MP: Ah, yes. The "Phantom Attachment," falling in love with absolutely no provocation.

Me: Shut up! I can't control it! It's just turning out like that!

MP: Whatever.

Me: So...

Mini-Glossary of the GREAT LANGUAGE!

Kami: god.

-sama: honorific meaning "lord"

Domo: an "amplifier," modifying a word to mean the same thing but more so

Arigato: thank you

Kyo's going to be mortified come next chapter... soo out of character. Should I add Tohru POV's? Say 'yes' or 'no' in reviews. Shigure's had almost no lines so far... he's going to have his own POV next chapter.

Well, love y'all!
