Kyo was placed into a new pet carrier and transferred to a car he thought was a limousine. He couldn't really tell since the carrier had a curtain over the door and was black on the inside. He had gotten out of the shelter fairly easily, now the difficult part would be escaping from the very tight clutches of Ivy. He felt the car start, and relaxed. He didn't know how long it would take to reach their desired destination, he might as well not worry about where he was going as he couldn't see where that was.

The car came to a sudden halt with a bit of a screech and the motion sent Kyo forwards and into the cage's door. He uprighted himself and sulked until the carrier was yet again, lifted. Kyo didn't appreciate getting dragged around, and began to get irritable, well more so than usual. He paced his cage in little circles tilting left then right then around all over again.

"Kittteeee!" Ivy shrieked. "Stop fussing you'll get all messy!" Kyo shuddered as the child's long arm reached in at him and held on to an ear. He tried to bite her, but she had already folded his ear over in an odd way. It itched like hell, and he couldn't get it righted.

"Why the hell, what was that for!" Kyo raged on, barely noticing he'd come to a halt. The curtain was lifted as though it were a banner, streaming up. Bright lights clouded his vision as he staggered sideways. He was in a large entrance hall. White ivory gleaming tiles glinted and created an opalescent look. A grand marble staircase decorated most of the room starting in the center and branching off sideways.

"Young Master and Miss, shall I escort your," The man speaking at this time glanced into the carrier, "cat, to his quarters?" The man who had spoken was rather on the tall side with a neat short beard, dressed entirely in black, and with odd fluffy short hair. He had to be the butler.

"No thanks Jeffery, I want to take him there myself!" Ivy proclaimed grasping the handlebars on the carrier.

"No Ivy, we've got tea soon, you can't carry Peaches around everywhere like a baby!" Danny scolded his little sister. He snatched Kyo's carrier from her hand and placed it at Jeffery's feet.

"As you wish, sir," Jeffery announced as he began ascending the stairs.

"But Dannyyyyyy!" Was the last sound Kyo heard as he was carried up the stairs into a labyrinth of rooms.

Back at Shigure's house…

Tohru awoke to the sound of birds outside her window. She yawned at stretched, and slid out of her bed. She paced slowly over to the window and pulled back the curtain. It was gloomy outside, clouds spread across the sky so the sun was blocked out. Her spirits dampened a bit, she has been looking forward to a sunny day. She strode around her room in wide circles, she was thinking about Kyo.

"I wonder what could have happened to him last night? No, he's probably downstairs right now having an argument with Yuki!" It shouldn't have been that funny, but Tohru smiled weakly at the thought of what Kyo looked like arguing. The way he rant on and his face would turn all red… She blushed, just a little and returned to waking up. She quickly dresses herself and eagerly ran into the hallway. She had the broadest smile as she turned the last corner of the stairs and the table came into view.

Kyo wasn't there. Yuki was sitting at the edge of the table staring off at the windows.

"Y-Yuki? Is Kyo back? Did he come home sometime last night?" She wore the sort of face that seems to say, if I answer no she'll burst into tears.

"No, he's not here yet Tohru, but don't worry about silly Kyo, he knows how to stay out of trouble." Tohru jumped back as she realized it was Shigure who had spoken. He gave her one of his reassuring smiles, which did make her feel a little better.

"Yes Miss Honda, please, don't worry about Kyo, he can take care of himself. He's had many times were he's had to fend for himself." Yuki tried to reassure Tohru.

"Oh…okay…" Tohru weakly responded, her voice was breaking. "Poor Kyo, all alone, the cat…" She turned and went back up the stairs at a faster-than-a-walk speed.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have said that…. Damn Kyo…" Yuki muttered almost incoherently slamming his fists down on the table.

"Now, now, I'm sure she knows you meant well."

"I'm not so sure, why can't I just know what to say?"

"Because it wouldn't be fair." (Shigure was thinking about Mii at this point, just to let you know, pervert that he is --')

Kyo backed up against the wall of a hot pink room, his room. Ivy was coming towards him, holding, doll clothes…
