Ayumi: Yea, I have a feeling this is going to be over soon. Ok, not a feeling. This is almost over. And I want to thank all the patient reviewers who took there time to read the ever boring, and non posting story Colors Of Envy. This chapter is all thanks to ILOVEInuyasha07 who gave me this idea.
"It's nothing big." The doctor assured Kyo. "It was out of exhaustion." He went on. Kyo nodded partly hearing what the doctor was saying. Mina was slowly regaining conscious, her hand flinched.
"Mina?" Kyo said hopefully. Mina's eyes slowly opened.
"Kyo?.." she said. "Yea." Kyo said closing his hand around hers. "I'm so glad your alright." Kyo said.
Kyo ran through the rain as fast as he could. He opened the door and walked in. "Kyo?" Tohru's muffled voice said.
"Hey, I'm back. Sorry for just running out." Kyo said rubbing the back of his head.
"It's alright. I heard Mina is in the hospital. Is she ok?" Tohru asked. Kyo nodded. He then noticed Tohru was on her legs.
"Tohru… I thought you weren't able use your legs." Kyo said staring at her. Tohru's face lit up.
"I practiced while you were gone. I can even hug you!" Tohru said giving him a hug. Kyo hadn't felt these hugs in a long time and felt comforted until he heard a poof.
"Kyo?" Tohru said waving past smoke.
"What the heck! Why did I turn into a cat! The curse is gone!" he squeaked. After a few moments of silence Kyo turned back, Tohru let out a high squeak. Kyo quickly picked on his clothes and dialed Hatoris's number. A tired, hallow voice answered.
"Hello?"
"Hatori? It's Kyo." Kyo tried to ignore Hatori's hallow irritated voice and continued. "I called because Tohru hugged me and I transformed into my zodiac form." Kyo said. There was a silence on the phone. Finally Hatori said something.
"Kyo, have you been having weird dreams? Having difficulties with your "Love Life" Hatori said sighing. Kyo thought about the dream and the weird feelings to Tohru.
"Yea…." Kyo answered. "That explains it. When your with the person who you belong with you won't transform." Hatori said right before he hung up.
"Thanks," Kyo muttered into the dead line.
Kyo flicked the White and Black bracelet around his wrist. A thought struck him. 'If I transform does that mean my true form is still with me?' Kyo's thoughts broke with the ringing doorbell. Kyo slowly trotted to the door. Mina ran thought the door going into a big hug but Kyo quickly dodged. "Kyo?" Mina said, looking hurt.
"Sorry. I was just shocked." Kyo said wondering how to explain this to her. Mina nodded looking satisfied.
Mina held onto Kyo's hand as they walked aimlessly in the forest. The rain slowly easing itself. Kyo saw the lump of land that was for sure going to trip Mina. "Mina, watch out." Kyo said tugging on Mina's hand.
Too late. She fell, hard. Tugging off Kyo's bracelet.
The smell of rotting flesh overfilled him and he remembered the horrible memories, his mother… Akito who was long dead. The repeated lines that made Kyo flinch.
'That horrible smell…. The smell of rotting flesh… This is the true form of the Cat.'
Akito's words sliced him through as the transformation completed. Mina stared at Kyo in shock. "Kyo..?" she asked. She covered her mouth and nose. She started coughing. "This can't be real." she said. She slowly stood up. Her face still covered by her hands. Kyo felt exposed to Mina as his true form was revealed once again… But, will Mina accept it? Kyo found out soon enough when he heard her scream and run.
Kyo ran, and ran. The same places where Tohru had seen him. The rain coming down harder, and harder. Kyo buried his face into his hands. "Dammit, not again." he said. He needed Tohru.
Ayumi: The next chapter may be the last one.
