A/N:

Hooray, it's once again UPDATES FRIDAY!

"I like the sun," Yuki pointed out once they had sat down, "It makes me warm"

"It makes me warm too," Replied Tohru, whilst pointing at a leaf.

"Why're you pointing at a leaf?" Asked Kyo, who had just discovered the leaf that Tohru was pointing at. She shrugged and smiled.

"It's the same colour as your hair"

Yes, it was true. The leaf was an orange-ish colour, with a bit of green and red. Which were exactly the colours in Kyo's painty hair at that moment.

Miss Brockby had calmed down the children enough so that she could go inside and have a coffee while they dried out. She then got to work of calling all the parents of the children, to warn them of the painty clothes. She didn't want to get fired because there hadn't been full warning. Of course, she would have to lie and say she tried to stop them but they just threw paint at her, which was party true. But the part when that boy she didn't like attacked her, well, that wasn't exactly true.

"So, what's your favourite thing to do?" Asked Kyo randomly, as they watched the sun shine, which wasn't to exciting because it hurt.

"I like… to go outside," Yuki replied. He didn't go outside much, since he was sold to Akito.

"I like to talk to my mummy and make friends" Tohru grinned, looking away from the sun to turn to Kyo, "And what does Kyo like most to do?"

"I like… umm…" As a matter of fact, Kyo didn't like many things, so he didn't say anything. Yuki got annoyed and slapped him.

"Say something, stupid"

"No"

"Yes. Tohru said so"

"Umm… I like… high places"

Tohru acknowledged this as being true; when he first met Kyo, he was high in a tree. He twiddled his thumbs before motioning towards a tree.

"Lets go sit in that"

"I can't climb trees" Tohru stated bluntly, shaking her head in a silly manor, "Mummy told me to be careful around you and tall things"

"Stuff her," Kyo swore, shaking his fist, "Lets go. You too, Yuki. Hurry up"

Yuki gasped at the fact that Kyo swore so openly (of course it wasn't really swearing). Tohru followed slowly behind the two boys, until they reached the tall tree. Kyo nodded slightly.

"I'll help you up"

"Uhh…" Said Tohru, a scared look creeping across her face. Kyo smiled and grabbed her hand, before pushing her closer.

"C'mon! Don't be such a scaredy cat"

Yuki chuckled, "Nice choice of words, cat boy"

"Shutup!"

Kyo explained to Tohru that if she stood still, he would carry her on his back and to the top of the tree, where he could point out his house. Tohru would probably be able to see her house too, if she looked hard enough. Tohru obliged and waited for Kyo to find a good position to pick her up from.

He put one hand on each leg and lifted, which resulted in her toppling over and on top of him. He cried out before a loud booming noise was heard and there was no more Kyo to be seen.

Little did Tohru, Yuki and Kyo know, in almost 12 years time, this same sort of thing would happen again, which would sprout their friendship back to life.

Tohru looked up and around.

"Where'd he go?" She asked Yuki, who looked as if he'd just had a heart attack. Tohru looked at his questionably before asking again, "Where'd he go?"

Suddenly, a small, orange kitten popped out of a pile of clothes. It had a pair of underpants attached to it's tail, which made Tohru and Yuki laugh their guts up. The cat hissed at Yuki.

"Stupid! Help me!" It said quietly, rubbing it's head on Yuki's hand. He sighed and picked the cat up, before handing it to Tohru.

"Here. Have a cat"

"Aww! He's so… cute!" Tohru said, not thinking of a better word to say.

Kyo in cat form stared at Tohru. She stared back.

"Umm, can you put me down, please?" Asked the cat, pawing at Tohru's clenching hands. She was squeezing his stomach a little too hard. She screamed and dropped him.

"MAGIC CAT YELL AT ME!" She screamed, waving her hands around in dismay. Yuki tried to calm her before anyone came over, but it wasn't that easy. She was a timid girl and a talking cat wasn't exactly her "Top Ten Things to Get Scared By" list. Some girls came over to see what the matter was.

"What's up, Tohru?" Asked one, who had green paint smeared down her whole face. She stared up at her and said in a panicked voice,

"Magic cat yell at me!"

The girls gasped and stared at the orange cat near Tohru's legs. He stared back before grabbing his clothes in his mouth and running into a bush. Yuki then began to cry, which scared all the girls away.

"Nice work" He said to Tohru, giving her the thumbs up, even though she didn't do anything. There was a loud boom noise and within seconds, Tohru realized Kyo was standing in the bush with no clothes on. She laughed.

Now Kyo, being only at preschool age hadn't yet mastered the trick of getting dressed awfully fast after transforming back. This was also because transforming wasn't a natural occurrence for him. He struggled to put his shirt on, when Yuki walked over to help. He pulled it over his head and grinned.

"I did it" He said, giving Kyo the thumbs up. Kyo rolled his eyes.

"Where'd the cat go?" Asked Tohru, completely confuzzled with the whole situation that was laid out before her.

Kyo and Yuki exchanged worried looks, before taking one of her hands in theirs and walking back to the classroom, where Miss Brockby was calling them to come inside to start having the paint chipped off their bodies.

"Come on, hurry up! Your parents will be here in a few minutes!"

Laughing, Tohru ran first in line to get her paint chipped off. Yuki grinned.

"She is kinda cute, ya know" Kyo pointed out.

"I know"

"Yeah, me too"

"Me too…"

A/N:

I'd just like to point out that from now on, now that they know each other, this probably wont go for many chapters longer. It might though, I don't know.

We'll just see how it goes, ne?
