Wow... I'm supposed to be away... but I'm still updating. I must have a second pair type of person... or not. One thing is for sure though, there will be no updates for a week (at least) starting on Thursday. Wow... we're up to Part Twelve... I kept saying I'd stop at Part Twelve, but now it looks like this might make more... (okay, so it might make more). And I have the storyline completely figured out! -Is proud-

Anyways, seeing as I've reached 27-or-so reviews, I figured I'd reply some of your reviews.

First off, thank you to everybody who's reviewed more than once, and to everybody who is following this story! I also feel flattered to hear that those of you who didn't think of Shigure and Kyo as a pairing now like it after reading this (if that makes sense o.O).

Kyoluver4ever: I'm not wrong and perverted, I'm different n.n! In any case, even if I had known Kyo was your favourite character, I would have used Kyo anyway. Putting Yuki in there (even though, you're right, Yuki is a gay in denial - sorry Yuki fans... and Chan xDD), it would have been different. Imagine this;

Shigure: Yukiiiiiiii! Come huggle with me!
Yuki: ... ... ...
Shigure: Aw... don't look at me like that...

Instead of this;

Shigure: Kyooooo-chan, come huggle with me!
Kyo: NO FREAKING WAY YOU SICK PERVERTED WEIRDO!
Shigure: Aw... come on, you know you like it...
Kyo: GET OFF ME!

See? It just... sucks oO; Hence why I use Kyo and not Yuki. Besides, besides the age difference, they make a cute couple.

Deema: I know... but I can explain myself! This was only supposed to be a Three Part Series, that I wrote as a challenge fiction for a friend. I read it again, got over the age difference (believe me, I was squimish writing the first three chapters), discovered that the pairing was actually really cute, and continued it. Unfortunately, to make it a happy ending when I thought I was going to finish it, they had to get together... so yes... they got together to fast. I won't make the mistake next Shigure x Kyo story I write!

FranWi: I interpretted that like you wanted to see? oO; I will write those... scenes when I feel a bit more comfortable with it. (Can you imagine if my parents found out? God!). I'm bad enough with straight pairing romance as it is o.o;. In any case, you will see... when Kyo calms down a bit. (Kyo's glaring at me o.o;; )

Inuyashapup/Flyingdaggers/Rock-chick131/Imaginary-Dream: Thanks for your support, and for boosting my reviews! (Thanks to you, Cat's and Dog's Don't Mix is the second most reviewed Shigure x Kyo fanfiction (yes, I'm bored enough to check). I'm half way to the top!)

So, thanks a bunch everybody, and enjoy Part Twelve... have ya worked out what Zodiac Animal Koda is yet? (... Yeah... it's pretty obvious...)

P.S. Remember to Review n.n!

Part Twelve: Wolf

Shigure yawned, propping his chin on his hand, twisting his pen between his fingers, his eyes glancing down at his manuscript. He was half way through, and had plenty of time, but surprisingly enough he actually enjoyed writing it – when Mit-chan wasn't around. Terrorising that girl was just too good to pass off. Almost like it was too good to pass off trying to get Kyo.

He yawned, ignoring Mit-chan's motions to start writing. He just… didn't feel like it. It was a magical word called; 'Writer's Block' that he was experiencing, and heck Mit-chan didn't seem to appreciate it. "WRITE!"

"Now, now, a master piece can't be rushed, Mit-chan!"

"I don't care about a master piece, Shigure, just WRITE!"

"… Man, you're almost as bad as he is." Shigure yawned.

"Who?"

"Nevermind."

Shigure paused, his eyes focusing momentarily on the paper, before he shuddered.

Mit-chan blinked, "You know the saying, Shigure. The chill up your spine means somebody's just walked over your grave. And I will be walking over your grave in a minute if you don't start writing!"

"Ah, alright, alright." Shigure said, waving his arm in front of his face, before focusing back on the paper again, although his mind was elsewhere. Man… this is almost like a warning…

"Kyo," Yuki asked, grabbing his drink from the vending machine, "Don't you find it kind of strange that Akito hasn't tried anything yet?"

Kyo blinked, opening his can, "Why in the hell do you care, Rat Boy?"

Yuki paused, "Well… It's because…"

"Just forget it." Kyo stated, scratching the back of his head. "And of course I find it strange, but I'm going to take advantage of the time that Akito's not butting in."

"…" Yuki arched his eyebrows.

"You didn't hear me say that."

"It's a pity that Kyo-kun and Yuki couldn't walk home with me today…" Tohru muttered, looking around her. She'd gone past the point that Haru and Momiji left for the main house, and she was now walking alone. Normally, Kyo and Yuki would walk with them, but both had things to do, and man had there been a heated argument,which was almost followed by a fist fight until Uo had hit Kyo over the head with her fist. Tohru giggled when she thought about it. "Oh well, both of them had important things to do. It might be good to walk home once in a while." She was so into her own mumbling, that she didn't notice a man step out from behind a corner.

"Um… Miss?"

Tohru blinked, turning around. She hadn't expected somebody walking around this area, and this man looked pretty young, and he was handsome, apart fromthe shallow colour of hisskin. He had brown hair that was tied back, other than his fringe that fell just above his equally brown eyes.

"May I help you?"

"Um… Sohma Shigure wouldn't happen to live around here, would he?" He scratched the back of his head and looked slightly embarrassed, "I got basic directions, but then I kind of got lost."

"Do you know Shigure-san, uh…"

"Oh! I'm so rude! I didn't introduce myself." The man smiled sheepishly, "I'm Koda, Sohma Koda."

"Ah! It's a pleasure to meet you, Koda-san. My name's Honda Tohru. I'm heading there now, would you like to come with me…?"

Koda scratched the back of his head, "Actually, I haven't seen him in such a long time… It's been 7 or 8 years now… I don't know if I could face him."

"Oh well… um… Koda-san, you can come over anytime you're ready." Tohru smiled, bowing in Koda's direction, "But now, I really must be going. It was nice meeting you!"

"It was nice meeting you too and thank you!" Koda said, smiling and waving as the girl turned around and continued on her way. Of course, after that, a sick look came onto his face.

"I will get my freedom…"

-Flashback-

"You see, there are two particular people in this family who… would you say… irritate me?" Akito said, walking back and forth, looking frequently back and forth at Koda, who was sitting quietly. "The cat and the dog are having an… intimate relationship. Doesn't that make your blood boil?"

Koda's eyes widened for a second time. Shigure was having a relationship with the… cat? That was odd. Heck, just hearing about the cat being accepted by somebody made his stomach twist. He… He was never accepted… the cat should be like him!

"So… you want me to… break them up?"

"Correct." Akito said, a sick smile appearing on his face, "I want to hurt Shigure so badly that he'll never think of going against me again. Ever."

Koda paused, his eyes focusing on the ground. Akito had let him out simply to be a pawn. After being locked up for eight years, Koda was completely ill socialised. The only person he saw was the person who came to hand him a snapped together dinner that really wasn't healthy. He didn't even get much sunlight. The cage was an unpleasant place to be, to say the least. And now, Koda would do anything to make sure he didn't go back in there – even if it hurt others.

"How do I get to them?" Koda asked his eyes still downtrodden.

"Find the hussy first, and befriend her. Her name's Honda Tohru, and she's the only outsider to know about our curse… but she won't know for too much longer."

So there is somebody who knows… Koda pondered, his hands becoming fists, needless to say I'm jealous…

"She's too nice for her own good." Akito continued, "so it should be easy to befriend her. After you do that, here's what you do…"

-End Flashback-

"Ah! The little house flower is back, is she?" Shigure sang, poking his head around the corner of his study, "Is Kyo-chan with you?"

"Oh, no, he's not, Shigure-san," Tohru said, "but, I met a nice man who wanted to meet you."

"Oh, and who would that be?" Shigure asked, stretching as he followed Tohrutoward the kitchen.

"He said his name was Sohma Koda-san. Shigure-san…?"

Shigure stopped in mid step just in front of the kitchen, his hand ready to brush the drapes away from his head. So… Akito sent the wolf after me, did he?

Omake!

"Ah! The little house flower is back, is she?" Shigure sang, poking his head around the corner of his study, "Is Kyo-chan with you?"

"Oh, no, he's not, Shigure-san," Tohru said, "but, I met somebody who had diarrhoea in his hands."

xDDDDDD! My friend wrote that when I went for a bath and left the story on Word on the screen... it was so funny I thought I'd post it anyway.
