Disclaimer: For the last time in this story... (seriously xD)... I don't own it... But I want to own some serious pie oO;
Okay - this is depressing. This is the last time that I'm going to upload Cat's and Dog's Don't Mix... it kind'a makes me sad and stuff. Seriously, I can't believe that a three part series turned into a 29 part series plus an epilogue... wowser! Looking at it now... man... I feel like I must have drunk my body weight in coke while writing it. Coke is the drink for writers, I tell you!
In any case, I want to thank you all a whole lot for reading and even more for reviewing - even if they were... er... bad reviews oO;. And thanks for sticking with me to the end - and I also hope that you look forward to the sequel that I don't think I'll be starting straight away (note the; 'don't think'. My mind has a mind of it's own when it comes to Fanfiction.), but it'll be up sooner or later - and I've worked out the storyline. -Evil laughter- I get ahead of myself, do I not? Anywho, as I said, thank you all a WHOLE-lotty-lot-lot for reading, and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
That being said, enjoy the final post of Cat's and Dog's Don't Mix, and look forward to the sequel; Cat's, Dog's and a Little Bit of Magic. Also, don't forget to post your final review!
See ya in the sequel (or in my other works if you're reading them too)!

Note: Cat's, Dog's and a Little Bit of Magic isn't happening. Well, technically, it did happen, but it didn't work. In any case, ignore the cliff hanger, and look out for another Shigure x Kyo that I write - when I write it, of course - or read one of my other stories, like He is my Master or A Cat's Death Wish. A apologise to the people that I dissapointed.

Epilogue
The movers were there. A semi-trailer for all of Shigure's bookcases, and two slightly smaller trucks to carry a majority of Kyo and Shigure's stuff, and they also had the boot of Hatori's car if they needed it.
"Nyeh, Kyo, isn't this exciting?" Shigure asked from behind the bookcase that Shigure was carrying, helped by Kyo who had the other side – that happened to be the heavy side.
"What will be?" Kyo asked absentmindedly, hardly even listening to Shigure, considering he was trying to correct his end so that it wasn't so heavy.
"I can finally get a car!" Shigure sounded overly happy. "Akito never allowed me one before because he was afraid that one of you boys would try and drive it and escape."
"LIKE I'D DO THAT!" Kyo shot before he could help himself, ignoring the pouting look that Shigure gave him back. "Is that all your excited about?"
"Well... there's that and all the private time we'll get together..."
Kyo dropped his end of the bookcase and stormed off, and Shigure cried; "Kyooooooooooooooooooo-chan! My foot's caught!"
----------
"Uh, Kyo-kun," Tohru piped in, not taking notice of the angry heat radiating off Kyo – it had become completely normal. "Are you all packed?"
"Yeah." Kyo replied, stopping, and looking at Tohru who had oven-gloves on, and a tray of steaming brownies (A/n: I've never tried those oO;. Do they taste any good?).
"Have one!" Tohru said happily, watching as Kyo took one, stuck it in his mouth and swore after it burnt his tongue. She ignored when Kyo spat it out onto his hand and juggled it for a while until it was cooler and then stuck it back in. "And... um... Kyo-kun..."
Tohru breathed out and in. She'd rehearsed asking Kyo about this time and time again... would they be taking the double bed? If they weren't, did that mean that she and Yuki could... she blushed.
Kyo blinked. What was Tohru blushing about this time? "Yeah?"
Tohru down cast her eyes, and said; "Are you... taking the double bed?"
Then it clicked in Kyo's brain exactly what Tohru was asking, and what the double bed would be used for. So, he said with as much spite as he could possibly muster – let's face it, a shy Tohru was just toooooo cute! "Just give me a minute to cover it in rat poison."
Tohru brightened, and she giggled at the joke that Kyo had made.
--------------
Two hours later, Kyo and Shigure were sitting in Hatori's car on the way to the main house. Kyo had taken the back seat, and Hatori had demanded that he drove – despite Shigure's protests. The dragon drove more often, and was far better at following road rules. So, on the way, Hatori took Shigure through all the rules that he had to make sure to follow.
"... and finally, don't abuse your authority." Hatori said, ignoring Shigure's pout, and looking back to Kyo in the back seat. Kyo blinked – he'd tuned out. Hatori then turned back to Shigure, who had a rather cunning look on his face.
"Oh, alright, alright, Ha'ri." Shigure sighed, "I won't abuse my authority too much."
Hatori rolled his eyes. "You'll also be in charge of training the newest head when they're born. Hopefully with somebody like you're guidance, they won't turn into a menace like Akito."
Kyo suppressed a laugh in the back seat, tuning back out again.
-------
"Wow... this is a huge room, isn't it?" Shigure asked, setting down one of the boxes, Kyo followed with the last one, he put it next to Shigure's box, and stood up, stretched, and looked around.
"It is rather large."
"And it has a nice garden doesn't it? Just look at that tree!" Shigure smiled, examining the garden that had once been Akito's. He presumed that the tree was a cherry-blossom that hadn't flowered. Shrugging away from it, Shigure turned, and opened one of the boxes, extracting what Hatori had demanded he wear. Apparently it had historical significance from the 1800's. Personally, Shigure thought it was tacky. It was a simple navy blue yukata/kimono cloth that reached his ankles, the obi a shade darker than the actual cloth. It came accompanied with a black robe that sat around the shoulders and draped along the floor almost two feet behind when Shigure would walk. He only had one word to say to this getup; "Yuck."
"What's 'yuck'?" Kyo queried, turning around the same moment that Shigure held up his assigned clothing. Kyo could have burst his side with laughter, and he almost managed to suppress it – almost.
"Kyo-chan, it's not funny!" Shigure whined, putting the garment to the side and sticking his hands on his hips, glaring at Kyo – who was laughing as silently as he possibly could. Unfortunately, that meant that the historical garment was sitting on the floor, the exact moment that Hatori opened the door to their room, looked at the floor-bedded garment, and scolded;
"SHIGURE! Don't you know the HISTORICAL value of that VALUEABLE piece of clothing?"
--------
"Who are you?" A maid said sharply, glaring at the woman that had dared walk into the Sohma estate without an invitation. Trespassing was not tolerated. That and all the maids were irritated with having to serve Shigure instead of Akito. "How dare you barge in-" her voice faltered when she noticed the red eyed black cat at the feet of the girl.
"I'm Yamaguchi Aoki." The woman replied, watching as the maid backed away as if she was poisonous. That was when she heard the angry cry from Hatori in the direction of the Head's chosen house.
And, one this was for sure. Even though that chapter had closed... a new chapter was about to begin.
To be continued... in the sequel.

Note: You may be wondering why I didn't change anything because there isn't a sequel. Basically, I'm happy with this epilogue, even if it does "lead" onto something more, and I don't want to change anything. Sorry.
