Ah! Here's the next chapter! What will happen to Kyo?

Disclaimer: Yeah. Only Haruki is mine. But he's not important or anything. O.o It's funny 'cause his name means "shining brightly" in japanese…Hah!

Chapter 6

Arisa's scream echoed down the street. The black car skidded into a lamppost and was now smoking heavily, shielding the entire area. Arisa began to run towards the street, but her legs gave out and she fell to her knees sobbing. The driver of the black car got out and walked around his car.

Arisa's screams and whimpers continued to fill the quiet streets. She frantically looked around in vain; the smoke covered everything.

"Looking for someone?" A male voice asked.

Arisa gasped. "Kyo!"

"Um, no sorry… My name is Haruki… That's my car there… Wrapped around the lamppost… And seeing as you're the only one around, I was wondering if you could verify for my insurance company…" The man trailed off. Uo's glare was piercing him.

"NO! I will NOT help you! You stupid fool! You should have watched where you were going and you wouldn't have hit him!" Uo screamed at him. She broke down into tears again.

The man skulked off to find someone's phone he could use to get his car towed. Good. Arisa thought bitterly. She gained the strength to hobble around and she searched for Kyo blindly through the smoke filled street. That ass better get his stupid car towed soon. Or else we're all gonna be blown to effin' pieces. She wandered around a little longer.

Finally the tow crew arrived. The men got the crumpled car ready. Haruki got into the passenger side of the truck and it sped away. Arisa stood on the sidewalk in front of her house. She willed Kyo to walk out of the slowly thinning smoke. She longed to see his figure dispell the smoke and bring relief to her racing heart.

When the smoke finally cleared enough for visibility, Arisa looked around and saw a dark figure lying in the middle of the road. "KYO!" Arisa yelled. She rushed over to his side. She rolled him onto his back. A trickle of blood was coming from the corner of Kyo's lip. There was a vacant expression in his eyes.

"No." Arisa gasped. "NO!" She cried harder and rested her head on Kyo's chest.

"I told you I would step in front of a car for you." Came a soft voice from beneath her.

"Kyo!" Arisa jerked into an upright position. A weak smile showed itself on Kyo's face. "Don't ever do it again!" Kyo laughed. "Don't laugh!" Arisa punched him in the arm, and Kyo gave a yelp of pain.

"Ohmigosh! I am SO sorry!"

"Just kidding. I am fine, really." Kyo slowly rose to his feet and smiled.

"I will kill you!" Arisa shouted. "You scared me half to death!"

"You didn't believe me…I had to." Kyo pouted. He realized his state of weakness and returned his face to his usual expression of boredom.

"Fine. I will go to the dance with you. Now let's get you cleaned up! You look terrible."

"Thanks alot."

The two went into Uotani's house. Kyo took in his surroundings. Kazuma-san always told him to familiarize himself with his surroundings before he did anything. Are you insane? In this kinda house, the worst that can happen is get beaten down by lacey throw pillows. Kyo laughed at his joke. Indeed, the house was painted in pastel colors, and everything was coated with lace and frills. The living room facing him was a sea green scheme.

Uo turned a deep pink. "Um let's go and get the first aid kit."

Uo led Kyo down a narrow hallway. Pictures in silver frames adorned the walls. There was a picture of a long haired five year old playing with play-doh. This must be Uo as a child. A warm smile melted onto Kyo's face.

"Don't look at those!" Uo snapped and quickly sped into a spacious kitchen. It was bathed in a pale blue. I wonder what Uo's room looks like...She sat Kyo down at the large wooden table and bent down to rummage around in one of the matching cabinets. Kyo couldn't resist the man in him. He glanced at her backside. Uo abruptly turned around.

Caught in the act! Uo calmly strode towards him with a first aid kit. A vein pulsed in her forehead and she smacked Kyo upside the head with the first aid kit. "Perv." She muttered as she unpacked the kit.

Arisa located the anti-bacterial liquid and dabbed Kyo's lip, which was beginning to swell. Minutes later she finished fixing the lip wound. "And what about the side of my head?" Kyo whined with a hint of his usual impatience.

"What about it?"

"You hit me!"

"Okay FINE." Arisa examined the side of his head carefully. "There's nothing there. No swelling or anything. Besides, I wouldn't hit you that hard, 'cause I didn't want you to die or anything if I caused you to have a concussion." She said angrily.

"But it still hurts."

Arisa stroked the side of his face and gently kissed the beating place. Kyo purred.

"Kyo?"

"Hmm?"

"You're…Purring."

"AM NOT!" Kyo said hastily to cover up any giveaways of the Sohma curse. Stupid cat-soul...

"Well. I think it's sexy. Why don't you go home, I am sure Tohru and the rest are worried about you."

"I guess. Can't I spend some more time with you?"

"It's getting dark. See you tomorrow." Uo lead him to the door and held it open for him. "You gonna be able to get home okay?"

"Yeah…" Kyo kissed Arisa's hand and drifted off into the darkness.

I had severe writer's block during this chapter. It took FOREVER to get everything straight! Gosh. Kyo had a Miroku scene there, haha! But who doesn't love the occasional beat-down eh?

Miroku: M'lady, I resent that.

Sango: That was totally you-like. -beats Miroku in the head for copping a feel-

Review please! n.n
