The Rocky Romance Picture Show – Halloween

She stared at the card in her hand excitedly.

The text was in the "chiller" font, and printed out precisely in the center of the orange paper. The small card was embossed with spiders for the full effect, and the content was etched into her brain from reading it so many times. Himiko's Halloween Movie Night, it read. Ginta Cineplex, October 31, 2005. Show starts at 7:00 PM – only "costumers" are allowed in! RSVP By October 30.

Himiko was a very nice girl from school. Her father owned many movie theatres around town, the Ginta Cineplex being one of them, which helped their personal family wealth. But it didn't cause her ego to grow – she remained very modest and humble, and was one of the more popular girls in school, and was on many different clubs representing the student body, such as the Student Council.

And that was all the more reason why Tohru was ecstatic when Himiko popped up that morning and handed a card to herself, Kyo, Hana and Uo.

Tohru had a wide smile on her face as they all sat in their desks. I-I can't believe it! She thought to herself. Himiko! One of the most popular girls in school, invited me of all people to her Halloween party! She hugged the card to her chest and sighed. This is amazing!

"This blows!"

Tohru sweatdropped.

Uo chucked the card out the window with a flick of her hand. "The one time that girl actually invites me to something and I have to work that night! Jesus … " she drifted off, muttering curses.

Kyo shrugged and leaned back in his chair. "What would we be doing there, anyway? Watching scary movies? Who does that anymore?"

Uo grinned at the carrot-topped boy slyly. "Sounds like somebody just doesn't wanna dress up! What, you too cool to wear a pirate suit, orangey?"

Kyo glared at her. "Oh Come On – Dressing Up is for Little Kids, Anyway!"

Tohru almost fell out of her chair, and the others noticed. They almost got up to help her but she waved them back and said, "Oh, no, it's nothing … "

Kyo knew better though. He sighed in annoyance and put his forehead against the desk. Me and my big mouth. "You were going to dress up, weren't you?" he mumbled.

Tohru nodded meekly, a blush spreading to her cheeks. "I don't know … I was thinking about being … a cat … " she said kind of sheepishly.

Uo and Hana smiled and started commenting on how cute of a cat she would be – but once again, Kyo knew better. A blush that clashed horribly with his locks spread over his face, unseen by the others. Was that for me? Nah it couldn't have been – but she is a cat lover – oh god why did that just paint a dirty picture of her and me? Gah!

"I will unfortunately not be able to come," Hana reported. "My brother and I volunteered as supervisors for our local Temple's Haunted House. So sorry."

Kyo and Tohru both blinked at this. The scariest thing in that show will be Hana holding the curtain open for those little kids – they'll think they'll be led to their doom or something.

"Alright, that settles it, KyonKyon," Uo announced with a devilish grin. "YOU have to be the one to go and supervise Tohru."

Both teenagers in question blushed brightly and shouted, "ExCUSE Me!"

"Let's face it, Hon," Uo stated, leaning forward in her chair. She reached out and patted Tohru comfortingly on the head. "You and Scary movies aren't the best combination. And God forbid if you scream in the middle of the movie theatre and hug the stranger beside you."

Of course, Hana agreed with this since she was looking out for Tohru.

But of course, the other two knew the real issue ….

"I canNOT Change in the middle of a theatre in front of all my classmates!"

BAM!

"But if I don't go, Uo's gonna hunt me down on a motorbike with that pipe of hers!"

BAM!

Tohru winced as he kept punching the wall of the school, noticing the paint cracking and falling to the ground. Thank God it was after school and most of the kids had gone home by now, but still … That can't be good for the brick …BAM … or his hands …

Kyo finally stopped and leaned against the cracked wall, panting heavily. "What the hell are we gonna do?" he asked, pressing his hot forehead against the cool cement.

Tohru sighed and said in defeat, "I don't know …. " She stared sadly at Kyo, mad at herself for all the trouble she was causing. And how much damage he had done to the school as well … and his hands too, apparently.

She yelped when she saw the steady trickle of red go down the building from where his hands were pressed against it. "K-Kyo-kun you're bleeding!"

He opened his eyes like a shot and realized that indeed, his knuckles were scratched up pretty badly. He hadn't even felt it. "Dammit," he muttered.

Tohru rushed up and started to dig around in her backpack. "Ooo," she mumbled to herself, "There's gotta be something here …. There we go!" She pulled out a roll of tensor bandage and proceeded to snip it in half. Then, she grabbed one of Kyo's hands and began to wrap it up. "Hold still, okay?" she told him.

Shyeah, like I'd wanna move now.

Kyo blushed as he felt her soft, gentle fingers support his rough hand, marveling at how tender she was being to them. Nobody was ever that gentle to him in his whole life – hell he wasn't even gentle to himself. But she took care of him so well … he hadn't been skin-and-bone since he started lived at Shigure's house. And he hadn't had (as many) blowups with the rat anymore. She really did so much for him.

And that's why he felt guilty about not being able to help with this movie night problem. She deserved to go out like a normal girl, and meet new people. But she needed support like everybody else; he couldn't just leave her alone to have the crap scared out of her.

But he couldn't just turn into a cat in front of all his classmates, either.

Damn. Damn Damn-ity Damn DAMN DAMN.

The two were still confused about their problem up until they got home that evening. They were so desperate that they shared it with Shigure and Yuki, wondering for a solution.

The four sat around the living room table in thought. Tohru was sad as she leaned against the table. She didn't want to cause Kyo any stress or problems … but the selfish side of her was crying out for her to go to the function … she deserved it … but not at the expense of Kyo transforming.

Kyo was currently beating up his ancestry inside his head. Seriously. WHY Did he have to turn into a cat because of girl contact! BAHHHHH – every inch of him was wishing the curse would disappear … and he found it unbearable to even imagine holding Tohru and comforting her in the dark theatre … it was all a too tempting thing to have in real life …

"AHA!"

The two troubled teens jerked back to life.

Shigure held up his finger triumphantly and announced, "I have figured out a solution!"

…. (pause for effect) ….

Kyo glared at him. "AND…?" He insisted.

Shigure grinned widely and pointed at Kyo, "Go as a cat."

The whole room sweatdropped.

Yuki stared at the dog flatly. "I thought we already established that Tohru was going as a cat … ?"

"YES," Shigure agreed, "But I am saying that Tohru takes Kyo with her in his zodiac form!"

The whole room went wide eyed ….. before Kyo and Yuki spazzed.

"SAY WHAT!"

"It's perfectly reasonable!" Shigure said, and began to list the factors. "A) Kyo can say he was at the movie because technically he was and he can recite parts later. B) If he's already a cat, he can't change. C) Plus he can STAY in cat form because most likely, Tohru will be hugging him throughout the film."

…

Yuki blinked. "I can't find anything wrong it that."

Tohru blinked in shock as well. "Me either."

Kyo had different things going on in his mind.

IN HER LAP, IN A DARK THEATRE. IN HER LAP, IN A DARK THEATRE. IN HER LAP-

Well, October 31 came, and the night was young. Tohru emerged from her room wearing a black t-shirt, brown cat ears attached to a headband, and black pants. On her face (drawn with brown eyeliner) were cat whiskers and a little dip up on the middle and the ends of her top lip. Shigure saw her come out and noticed how much she resembled another feline he knew. She saw him and blushed a bit when he wiggled his eyebrows mischeviously.

"Ummmmm where are the guys?" she asked quickly.

"Downstairs, waiting for you," he answered. And then, just to make things worse, he asked, "By the way, Tohru, Kyo mentioned something about missing a black shirt from his laundry bin – would you happen to know where it went?"

Eep.

Caught red handed.

"Um-Gotta-Go-See-You-Later-Be-Home-At-Midnight!" She stuttered as she bolted down the stairs, leaving a grinning Shigure behind.

"I'm sorry I fell on you."

"Forget about it."

"But, it must've hurt-"

"I said forget about it – I'm used to it." No, Wait! DAMMIT!

"Oh yeah … I keep falling on you a lot when you transform …. Ummm … I'm sorrryyyyy … "

Kyo blushed even more from his position in her arms. She was walking down the streets to the theatre, also wearing a small backpack containing a costume for Kyo to wear incase he decided to go human again (courtesy of Shigure – he got sneaky and made some cat ears the same color as his hair and (unknowingly) packed identical clothes that Tohru was wearing now). His face was already red from the five-block walk she had been taking with him in her arms. Now he had his stupid foot-in-mouth disease again.

"Forget it, Tohru – I really don't care. It's fine. You never hurt me."

She got a little red in the face from the last little bit. She didn't know why, but it really took to her heart. What did he mean by that?

Unfortunately, she could not question more because they had rounded the corner, and were in sight of the movie theatre. A line of other classmates in costumes was coming from the front door. Himiko spotted her instantly. She was dressed as Sakura from the popular show Cardcaptor Sakura. She bounced over to Tohru and commented on how cute she looked and how she loved the cute cat in her arms (she even scratched behind his ears and he fought the urge not to purr) and ushered her to the front of the line. She asked why Kyo wasn't there and Tohru said he had a big exam on Monday to study for, and he was sorry he couldn't make it. Himiko sympathized as they entered the building, and then they entered a theatre on the left. Tohru looked up at the tagline above the door …

The Rocky Horror Picture Show? Oooh, I don't like the sound of that. Instantly, she gave Kyo a squeeze. He nuzzled against her arm in an attempt of comfort – which, actually, worked.

Tohru actually sat in the row directly in front of Himiko and her closer friends, Himiko letting Tohru in on their conversations frequently. Tohru was so excited to be meeting new people – her face hurt from smiling so much later.

Finally, seven o clock came around and the lights in the theatre dimmed. The crowd of teenagers cheered and Tohru sat straight in her seat, holding Kyo in her lap, and clutching to him desperately already. Kyo blushed heavily. Oooooh boy.

The credits began to roll. Once actors' names began to appear on the screen, people cheered. The title then appeared, reading "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and the crowd went wild.

Himiko put a hand on Tohru's shoulder, causing her to look back, and she smiled. Tohru gave a nervous smile back, and then faced the screen again.

Kyo watched the screen as well, only half-paying attention. His mind kept running with questions. She's hugging me pretty tight already. What about when a scary part comes up? What if she starts crying? What about her makeup? Is that MY shirt she's wearing?

Et cetera.

But the thing is … they went twenty minutes into the film … and nothing scary happened.

Kind of the opposite, really.

More like – humor.

This wasn't a scary movie at all. It was total spoof and newspapers and bread and laughter. Tohru even caught herself laughing out loud a few times, and her grip on Kyo loosened after a while.

Finally, he looked up and said as quietly as he could, "Gimme your bag."

She looked down in surprise. "Why?"

"Cuz I'm going to the bathroom and I'm changing back."

"Oh … yeah …. Kyo?"

"Yeah?"

" … I'm sorry for overreacting … about the movie … and for keeping you in cat form for so long … "

"… it's okay Tohru."

"Really?"

"Yeah … I enjoyed it."

Tohru blushed. "Thanks … Kyo … "

The usher standing outside the doors to the theatre heard the muffled laughter and cheers as the movie continued. Just then, the door started to open. Doing his normal duties, he pulled it open fully, expecting to see a teenager coming out for a popcorn refill.

Instead, he saw nothing.

Blinking in surprise, he looked down to see an orange cat with the loop of a backpack around his neck. The cat glared up at the man, before walking off and pushing the door open to the boys' bathroom.

The poor usher blinked. "… what the hell?"

A/N: Happy Halloween, guys! Now go outside and scare some kids!
