A world I wish I was in"

Touched

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Stressed
Kyou silently sat on the roof with Tohru leaning against him. Her soft breath tickled his neck and he sighed. Rehearsal and the discussion after had been weighing heavily upon their minds. So many more questions were added on his list of things that might never receive an answer for. He felt Tohru snuggle and he smiled to himself. The first time they had tried to get this close she had transformed a few times. He wondered why she hadn't transformed into the cat. He reached around and held her close. The night air was to warm in his opinion.

"Kyou," Tohru softly whispered.

"Yeah?" He questioned.

"What would you do if I forgot about you?" Tohru questioned with pensive look.

"I'd go crazy," Kyou seriously answered.

"Seriously," Tohru scolded.

"Who said I was joking?" Kyou questioned.

Tohru remained silent as she took in this bit of information. She didn't want to leave him. If the emperor tore them apart then there was little she could do. She had decided that if that happened then she would erase his memories. Tohru sighed as pulled them both down to their backs. She curled into his side and draped an arm across his chest.

"Why don't you ever change into the cat?" Kyou questioned as Tohru softly giggled.

"Jealous?" Tohru teased.

"No…just curious," Kyou calmly said.

"The cat tries not to show himself because he knows that transforming is a bother, he doesn't want to take control ever again," Tohru answered.

"Take control…like the boar?" Kyou questioned.

"Yeah…like the boar," Tohru softly answered.

"I guess he did it already?" Kyou reasoned.

"Yeah, he saved my life," Tohru softly answered.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't have been with you," Kyou whispered as he rolled to his side and let their foreheads rest against each other.

"It's not your fault," Tohru assured.

"What happened?" Kyou questioned.

Tohru remained silent as she mused over the situation. She sadly smiled and kissed his forehead. He closed his eyes and they remained silent for a few moments.

"I almost killed myself," Tohru suddenly answered.

Kyou's eyes snapped opened in shock and rage. Tohru could see a fire of confusion burning with his eyes. She glanced away and sighed, she would tell him because she trusted him.

"You don't remember your transformations, but I remember mine. I transformed into the cat's other form and I panicked. You could say I went temporarily insane," Tohru explained as her eyebrows furrowed in thought. "I wondered about the bracelet and pulled it off. I was curious about the form. Pain filled my body and I screamed as I changed. I could feel my skin stretching and ripping as it adjusted to the new form. My bones broke and reformed as joints popped in and out of place."

'Horrible,' Kyou thought.

"I saw my reflection in the mirror…I bashed the mirror in and began to drag my claws over my body. The cat began to panic and he wrestled with my mind. He managed to take control and slip the bracelet back on my wrist. I lay in the middle of my room naked for three days. I was stuck within my mind while the cat tried to convince to come back out," Tohru explained.

"Why did you come back out?" Kyou whispered as he brought her back from her dreamlike state.

"The cat told me that it would make him sad if I was to go away," Tohru replied as she felt the spirit bristle with denial.

"I always wondered about the faint scars on your body," Kyou mused.

Tohru blushed and now confirmed that his eyes had roamed her body. She knew she had done the same to him, but hers was by accident.

"Was it an accident?" Tohru questioned as he began to blush.

"No," Kyou grumbled.

"Shigure is influencing you," Tohru teased with a small blush.

"What's your biggest fear?" Kyou questioned.

"My biggest fear…it is losing everyone I love," Tohru whispered. "What's your fear?"

"I fear nothing," Kyou gruffly said.

"You feared Jason the bear in the woods," Tohru reminded.

"I remember the trip, but not you being there," Kyou sighed. "And I was startled not fearful."

"You were afraid," Tohru sang.

"I have nothing much to fear," Kyou admitted with a shrug.

"That's not good, if you don't fear something you become ignorant," Tohru softly mused.

"Are you calling me ignorant?" Kyou questioned in slight offense.

"Maybe…but I still love you," Tohru teased.

"Be lucky I care so much for you," Kyou mumbled as he frowned.

"It really does scare me," Tohru admitted. "Losing the ones I care for. Ever since mom…"

"Eh?" Kyou asked copying her word.

"Mom started to ignore me after dad died. I thought she would try tokill herself and I didn't want to lose her. I started to act more like dad, I would even speak like him…I still do at times," Tohru admitted.

"You shouldn't have to act like another to get love," Kyou growled.

"I remember, one day mom looked at me and apologized. She worked harder and constantly told me she loved me and how cute I was. That was the first time she told me to be true to myself," Tohru finished.

"You should never change Tohru…you're fine just the way you are," Kyou softly said.

"Do you think I'll lose my memories?" Tohru questioned.

"If you do…I still won't leave you," Kyou firmly said.

Tohru's eyes began to mist and she reached up to push a stray bang from his face. The beads on her wrist brushed his face and he reached up and grasped the bracelet. She froze, but didn't pull away. He fingered the beads before letting out a long sigh.

"They used to be yours," Tohru softly said.

"How did you get them?" Kyou questioned.

"They just appeared on my arm," Tohru admitted.

"Do they get in the way of things?" Kyou questioned.

"No, but I worry that they will break or come off," Tohru whispered.

"What does it look like?" Kyou questioned.

"An angry spirit," Tohru vaguely answered.

"Never would have guessed," Kyou growled as he bopped her on the head.

Tohru suddenly giggled and rolled over. She quickly sat up and pointed to the star that streaked across the sky. Kyou raised an eyebrow as she clasped her hands together and tightly closed her eyes. Kyou watched her with an amused smile.

"Make a wish!" Tohru whined with glee.

"Fine," Kyou muttered.

He closed his eyes and knew that Tohru was watching him. A few seconds later his eyes opened again and he found Tohru inches from his face. He raised an eyebrow and she giggled.

"What did you wish for?" Kyou questioned.

"Do you really want to know?" Tohru asked.

"Sure," Kyou responded with a shrug.

"Do you really, really want to know?" Tohru stressed with a growing smile.

"Just tell me," Kyou said as he felt his eye twitch.

"Okay," Tohru sang.

His eyes widened as he felt her lips quickly claim his. He grinned and pulled her back to him as she tried to escape. Laughter filled the air as he began to tickle her sides. Tohru pleaded with him to stop, but he kept at it. She squirmed out of his trap and flicked his nose. He wrinkled his nose before he got on all fours. Tohru squealed and began to back up careful of the edge of the roof.

"You better behave!" Tohru scolded.

"But my wish hasn't come true," Kyou mocked with a smirk.

"Stay back!" Tohru warned with a nervous smile.

"Or what…you'll turn into a snake?" Kyou teased with a challenging grin.

"Kyou!" Tohru screamed as he pounced on her.

Poof

Tohru groaned as she felt herself being picked up. She tried to jump away only to have him grab her by the scruff of her neck. She softly hissed at him and rolled her eyes. Purrs filled the air as he began to scratch her ears. Tohru arched into his touch and began to rub against him.

"How'd you know I turn into the cat?" Tohru questioned as she continued to purr.

"I wished it," Kyou answered as she rolled onto her side.

Kyou simply reached down and began to rub her stomach. He noted that her brown fur had tints of orange highlights within it. Tohru swatted at his hand and sighed as he scratched her back.

"This is better then a massage," Tohru purred.

"And who gave you a massage?" Kyou suddenly growled.

"Just the chiropractor," Tohru answered as she arched into his ministrations.

Tohru sighed and curled up in his arms and he held her close. She hoped that she wouldn't turn human anytime soon. Kyou rolled onto his back and moved her to his chest. She stretched and flexed her paws as she yawned. A soft purr rumbled through her form and into his. He closed his eyes and rested his head on his arms as Tohru closed her eyes and began to rest.

"The play is in a few days," Tohru mumbled as she yawned again.

"So…I don't care," Kyou mumbled.

"I do," Tohru sighed as she jumped off of him.

She stretched and then began to scratch the back of her ear. Kyou closed his eyes and softly growled. Tohru opened both of her eyes and huffed at him.

"What do you think Mr. Shinshou plans if he really is the emperor?" Kyou questioned while staring up at the sky.

"I don't know his plans…the spirits don't let me know anything about the emperor," Tohru replied with a sigh.

"He won't hurt you," Kyou firmly assured.

"I'd like to agree…but he controls the spirits and can do anything," Tohru replied as she felt some of the spirits release amusement.

"I won't let him hurt you," Kyou whispered as he glared at the sky.

"Kyou," Tohru softly whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."
