Disclaimer: Don't own it. Per usual.

I decided to continue it, considering that Shigure and Kyo are such a cute pairing, although I just can't bring myself to write... that... stuff about them. I will have to eventually, so I guess I'll get used to it. (I hate writing Romantic scenes o.o)

Anyways, even though I've decided to continue Cat's and Dog's Don't Mix it'll be a hell-a slow update. I'm more focused on my Naruto fanfiction, Hyuuga Obsession and my Pokemon Fanfiction, Pokemon Virtual, as well as my One-Shots. But, I'll update when I do!

Until then, look forward to it n.n!


Part Four: Surprises

Shigure grinned. No matter how many times he got his hands on Kyo, Kyo was never submissive – not that he cared. Teasing his cat was fun, and the effect varied which made it unpredictable. Ah, it was good to be Shigure. Speaking of which – he hadn't seen his ginger cat all day. That was probably due to the fact that he'd been locked up in his study overnight – by Kyo no less – who demanded he complete his manuscript. Shigure, had, surprisingly finished it, and was now waiting for his release. Of course, it then occurred to him that there was no lock on his study door.

"Neh… that's no fun, Kyo-chan…" Shigure muttered to nobody in particular, "You actually made me do work…"

Sighing, Shigure stood, grabbing his manuscripts from the desk, he adjusted them, and opened the door, strolling out. "Kyooooo-chaaaaaan!"

Yuki, Tohru and Kyo paused. They'd all be outside, Yuki and Tohru watching Kyo train – Tohru's suggestion.

"What could Shigure want with you, stupid cat?" Yuki asked offhandedly, stretching. Kyo sweat dropped.

Lately, it had become harder and harder to keep their relationship a secret. Both party's had accepted their feelings – but that didn't necessarily mean that Kyo was willing to submit to Shigure. Not by a long shot. Unfortunately, this meant that Shigure was making constant attempts, crawling into his bed at night, and just basically being a perv.

Kyo, being the only one of the pair who seemed to actually have a functional brain, had calmly tried to explain what the consequences of their actions. Should this get into the open, there were several major things that would happen. The main one would probably be that Akito would be furious, and he'd probably lock up Kyo straight away. Kagura would pummel him stupid for not being straight, and the whole family would just be completely disturbed – not that it wasn't already.

Kyo sighed. The mutt never learnt.

"Stupid mutt… Don't call me Kyo-chan." Kyo muttered, stomping off the way that the mutts voice had come from. Yuki and Tohru weren't the least bit curious.


"What," Kyo said in a monotone, shutting the door to the lounge room behind him. "Do you want now?"

Shigure simply grinned. "Come sit with me."

"…"

Shigure tapped the space beside him. Kyo looked at his hand for a minute, then sat on the other side of the table. Shigure pouted. "No fair…"

"So what did you want?"

"So mean. Where's the 'Hello Gure-love, were you calling me for some action?'"

Kyo twitched. His hand becoming a fist of annoyance.

"What. Do. You. Want?"

"Oh alright, alright." Shigure sighed, "I finished my manuscript."

"Good."

"Want to read it?"

Kyo paused for a moment. Strictly speaking it wasn't a good idea to read the dogs manuscript, but then again he couldn't stand it when Shigure looked at him with those evil begging puppy-dog eyes. He should have expected that Shigure would have perfected the technique – he was the dog after all.

"Fine. Give it here."

Shigure handed it over, grinning in response.

Fifteen minutes later…

"Was that… supposed to be hinting something?" Kyo asked, thrusting the barely touched manuscript back in Shigure's general direction, now mentally disturbed. Hatori hadn't been kidding when he refused to read Shigure's novels.

"Aw, right on the mark! My Kyo-chan's so smart."

"No." Kyo glared, "No way in hell am I doing anything from your story. No. Way." With that, Kyo slammed the door and headed back outside.

Shigure pondered. Maybe it was a bit much to thrust all his ideas into the teenagers head at once. Kyo was still young after all, there was plenty of time for that.

"Oh yeah!" Shigure suddenly announced, whacking his fist on his hand, "I forgot about that."


"What did Shigure-san want, Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked, happy as usual. Both she and Yuki – well, really just Tohru – had been waiting patiently for Kyo's return.

"You… don't want to know."

"…"


"Oh, Tohru-kun, Yuki, Kyo-chan! Can you come here for a moment?"

On hearing Shigure's voice, Yuki and Tohru turned quizzically, while Kyo shuddered. They all went regardless.

"Guess what. Excellent news!"

"…?"

There was an odd in the air that only Yuki seemed to notice. Most noticeable were the clashing emotions between Kyo and Shigure. Only an idiot – meaning Tohru – would miss it. He supposed it had to do with what Shigure had wanted before. Shigure was rather calm, and it was almost like he was humouring Kyo, to an extent.

"I booked us all rooms at the Hot Springs."

"Wow… really, Shigure-san?" Tohru squealed, "But… but… I couldn't accept! I'd be asking for it!"

"Nonsense." Shigure grinned, "It's actually a get away with my manuscript."

With my… manuscript… Kyo paused, pondering this for a moment, before the meaning hit him square in the head. "NO!" He screamed, standing up. "No. No. No. No!"

Yuki and Tohru looked rather confused as Kyo stormed out of the room. Shigure, however, suppressed a giggle. Kyo really was cute.
