Disclaimer: Sorry... I don't own it... if I did, Kyo would be paired with somebody... who Hideki (Friend) finds disgusting n.n! (And that person wouldn't be Haru oO)

Hello again! Guess what! I finished reading Vol 14 of Furuba - happy yay, whoot! Unlike all you lucky people in America, our release dates are behind (or should be) than you guys... so we're only up to Vol 14... -Sigh- It sucks, no? Anywho, I finished reading it, and I must say that Rin has become one of my favourite characters. Weird, no? For that reason, I feel slightly bad pairing Haru with Kyo in this one... so let's pretend Rin doesn't exist. Okay? Got that? Good.

Man... I spent an hour sketching a pretty picture of Haru and Kyo today, and then I tabletted it into the computer, and then it wouldn't save! I was so angry... it was so cute too... ;-;

Sheik commented about looking forward to my s-CRY-ed story, but that isn't coming soon - sorry. I need to get my DVD's back from a friend before I can write it, because I need names. So, I'll get it back eventually, she's watched it after all xDD Oh! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHEIK! This update being a birthday update just for you n.n! (Also... maybe I could have your email or something? oO; I feel slightly bad not being able to contact you n.n;; )

That being said, enjoy, and please review when you're done reading n.n

Note: Chapter slightly editted due to - extremely irritating - errors


Chapter Two; Poofing

"I SWEAR, THE MOMENTI CHANGE BACK I'M GOING TO SLAUGHTER YOU!" The orange cat, who was also Kyo, screamed. His front paws were positioned in a pouncing position, his tail rigid and slightly to the side. His most noticeable fashion accessory – other than the gigantic annoyance mark that had appeared on his face the moment he'd transformed – was toilet paper stuck in his front claws.

Shigure, however, was too busy clutching his sides to really pay attention to the screaming Kyo, and whenever Kyo flailed a toilet paper covered paw at him, he'd laugh – if possible – harder. He was suffocating on his own, (A/n: What a way to go, Shigure! Whoot! xDD), which he thought was really, really, really dumb, so the novelist attempted to stop laughing, the exact moment that Kyo managed to fling the snot covered toilet paper into his face. "Ew... Kyo... That's disgusting..." he then paused when he realised he couldn't get it off, before turning into a panic. "GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!"

"Serves you right, you stupid mutt!" Kyo glared, sitting triumphantly on his hind paws, wondering why he was finding it incredibly hard not to lick himself.

"What serves who right?" Haru asked, looking towards Shigure, who was now crying. "Sensei...?"

The curiosity had gotten the better of Haru, and he'd so stupidly come to check out exactly what was going on between Shigure and Kyo – hoping that Kyo had changed back by the time he got there. Well... it was unfortunate that Kyo was still a cat, and was still sitting looking triumphantly at Shigure. Haru gulped – he'd looked at Kyo, if only for a fleeting moment. He twitched.

"GOD DAMN IT'S ANOTHER FUCKING CAT!" His Black side screamed, trying to wriggle past Haru's White side to squash poor unsuspecting Kyo. Haru squeezed his eyes shut, attempting to keep his Black side at bay – but... no success. The moment Haru's eyes opened again, his foot connected with Kyo's side.

Yowling, Kyo skidded to a halt before he actually collided with anything. "WHAT IN THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?" He screamed, turning around to glare at Black Haru, who was staring just as viciously back.

"Fucking feline." Black Haru said simply, turning and stalking into the room where he hoped Yuki was – if he wasn't, he would probably crack a complete fit.

Kyo, still staring daggers into Haru's side, watched his retreating back. That stupid cow, kicking him from out of nowhere! Snarling to himself quietly, and Shigure's presence quite forgotten, he picked up his shorts in his mouth – the shirt a bit much to breathe and carry at the same time – and carried them, er... dragged them, across the wooden floor, then across the dirt as he leapt off the veranda and set off into the forest without another word, all the while thinking; I guess I'm lucky he didn't try and sit on me.

It wasn't the first time this had happened, Kyo pondered, tugging his shorts off a tree branch where it'd been captured momentarily. When he was a kid, he'd noticed that every time he transformed in front of Haru it sent him Black... or something. Kyo thought of it as some kind of phase that the cow had been experiencing. Obviously not, Kyo thought bitterly, his cat body being enveloped in orange smoke, transforming back into a human. Of course, he then yanked his shorts off the tree, and swore at it until they had been safely positioned back on his body.


Haru sighed, dialling Hatori's number into the phone, his mind completely elsewhere. It had been his objective to simply call Hatori, but he'd managed to kick Kyo in the process, which wasn't something he really liked doing it. Thankfully, now, however, Black was snuggled in the back of his mind, no doubt just waiting for another cat to appear in his path.

He'd... kicked Kyo. The idea sunk into his mind rather darkly into White's mind, and he sighed. He hadn't done it intentionally... if he wanted to do anything intentionally, he would have hugged Tohru and then sat on Kyo. Ignoring the fact that Haru sitting on Kyo was probably one of the funniest things that he had ever considered, Haru tuned in to Hatori's voice.

"Konnichi-wa. Sohma Hatori speaking."

"Ha'ri. It's Hatsuharu."

"Haru? I was wondering when you were going to call me. Where. Are. You."

Haru gulped. For somebody who was sounded so calm all the time – Hatori being angry was... a scary thought, even if he just put a little edge on his normal voice. For Haru, who got in trouble quite regularly from the Doctor, he could recognise it instantly. "I uh... walked to Shigure's house instead..."

"..." Hatori was silent for a moment, "You want me to pick you up, I presume."

"Yeah." Haru said as stoically as usual, not noticing a half naked Kyo stalk past him. "And you might want to check Kyo while you're here..."

Across the hall, Kyo bristled. It was obviously Hatori that Haru was speaking to on the phone. Absentmindedly, he prodded the spot where he'd been kicked, right around his ribs – it did sting... but hey, he'd get over it. He did not need a doctor.

"What's he done this time?... Don't answer that. I'll see you soon." Hatori hung up, leaving Haru with the sound of beeping ringing in his ears. Sighing, he turned, and rubbed his eyes. He could have sworn he'd seen Kyo walk into the other room. Yeah. That was it. It was a trick of the light. Lights were so cool...

And, thus, Haru became lost in his own little mind space, and completely forgot to tell the others that Hatori was coming.


"Ha'ri! What a surprise!" Shigure sung, waltzing over to the doctor, who stood poised at the doorway, his doctor's bag in hand. "To what do we owe this pleasurable visit?"

"It's not pleasurable." Hatori replied simply, "and I came to pick up Hatsuharu, as well as check on Kyo."

"I could make it a pleasurable visit for you, Ha'ri..." Shigure cooed. Hatori shot Shigure a glare that said; 'Not on your life, Shigure.'

Shigure sighed, "Still, I didn't hear any word of your arrival."

"I presumed that Hatsuharu had told you." Hatori said, following Shigure as they wondered in the direction of Kyo's room, to check on the cat. Blinking, the first thing they came to was Haru, who still had the phone in his hand, and who was staring up into space. They both sweat dropped, and walked past him.


"Kyo, take off your shirt."

"Oooooo! Won't this be a sight for sore eyes!" Shigure grinned, watching with interest as Hatori tried to convince a newly, fully clothed, Kyo to take off his shirt so that he could inspect the wounded area. So far, Hatori was not succeeding.

"SHUT UP YOU STUPID PERVERTED MUTT!" Kyo screamed in Shigure's direction, holding the hem of his shirt down with as much force as he could muster, to prevent the dragon from simply ripping it off him. "And I'm not taking it off!"

"How am I supposed to examine you then, Kyo?" Hatori asked reasonably.

"That's the thing." Kyo replied, "You're not."

Another half an hour passed until Hatori finally convinced Kyo to take his shirt off – by saying that if Kyo didn't do it, Hatori would ask Shigure to forcibly remove it (A/n: I know you all want to see that xDD), and prodded the area, creating a screech from Kyo. "OW!" Hatori prodded the spot again. "BLOODY HELL, OW!"

"This is strange, Shigure." Hatori said, now rummaging through his doctors bag to get bandages. "Kyo has a cold, and he has a wound the shape of a foot."

"Heh, Heh... about that..." and then, Shigure explained the whole thing. Shigure finished, took a breath, and said quite cheerfully, "So, are you and Haru going to stay for dinner?"


Haru jumped awake when he heard the screech from Kyo upstairs. How long had he been out of it? He didn't recall. But... for the most part, it had been quiet a long time, because the phone had stopped beeping quite a long time ago. Placing it back on the hook, Haru just... stood there. He didn't know why, but he was just so comfortable... until his legs gave way and he was sitting.

It was a few minutes later that Kyo, Shigure and Hatori emerged from upstairs, Hatori clearly not very happy. Haru watched with mild interest as they went to turn the corner, Kyo pausing, grabbing his nose. He took deep breaths and then... "ACHOOO!"

POOF!

There, the cat Kyo sat, blinking and looking around blankly... that was... until Black Haru came tearing after him screaming; "I'M GOING TO SQUASH YOU, YOU STUPID CAT!"

Kyo squealed, leapt up, and whizzed like there was no tomorrow into the other room. Needless to say, the days with the Sohma's was going to get a whole lot more interesting.
