A/N – I know that, at the moment, this seems like a Kyo/Tohru story, but I promise you it's not. This is a Hatori/Tohru story!

Chapter Two: Enjoy

"The cat is here," the servant women informed Akito through the door.

"Let him in," Akito voice said, and the servant did, and Kyo walked in.

The women bowed her head, and stepped back, to let Kyo step past her into the room. Kyo did so and went to sit behind Shigure and Yuki, who sat behind Hatori.

"No, no, cat," Akito said, "Not there."

Kyo blinked.

"I want you before me," Akito said, "Beside, Honda-san."

Kyo, as well as everyone else stared at Akito.

Kyo looked at Akito suspiciously, as he moved to sit by Tohru.

"Other side, cat," Akito said, when Kyo had tried to sit down on Tohru's left side.

Kyo raised an eyebrow at Akito, but did as he was told, and sat down on Tohru's right side.

"Now, cat," Akito said, taking Tohru's hand in his, and touching it to his cheek; Kyo could see Tohru shiver at the contact, and Kyo immediately sent a dark glare at Akito.

"Oh, don't you like me holding Honda-san's hand?" Akito asked Kyo; Kyo continued to glare, "Well, then, how about you hold it then?"

Kyo's eyes narrowed, as he contemplated the thought, he finally decided, and grabbed Tohru's hand from Akito; Akito smirked. He then grabbed Kyo, and Tohru's hands.

"You should both thank me," Akito said; Kyo glared even darker at him, "I'm going to grate a wish for each of you."

Tohru and Kyo glanced at each other, and then looked back at Akito.

Akito just smiled at them, and then he acted. He quickly pulled the beads from Kyo's wrist onto Tohru's. Akito then pushed them apart. Kyo, and Tohru, both fell backwards.

Tohru shook her head slightly, and hugged herself. She had gotten an odd electric feeling throughout her body when the Kyo's beads had been pulled onto her wrist. Then, realizing what had happened, Tohru turned to Kyo, who was looking with horror at his bare wrist, "Kyo! Kyo, are you alright?"

Tohru lunged at Kyo, and in doing so, gave him a small hug, and suddenly, there was a small poof of smoke.

"Honda-san?" Yuki called out, he tried to run over, but Shigure held him back by the shoulder.

Hatori looked on, as Akito got up, and roamed around the room, what the hell was all that about?

When the smoke cleared, there was the orange cat, sitting on the lap of…Kyo?

"Huh?" Yuki said, "Kyo? Then who's…?"

Kyo, Yuki, Shigure, and Hatori, all looked towards the cat, and only just noticed that the cat wasn't completely orange, it had faint traces of brown in it's fur.

Hatori stood up, and walked over to the cat, picked it up, and brought it up to eye level, "Honda-kun?"

"Honda-san!" Yuki shouted in disbelief.

"Tohru! No way!" Kyo protested.

"Ah, our little Tohru-chan has become a kitty!" Shigure sang, happily.

"Shut up!" Kyo shouted at Shigure, not caring whether Akito liked it, or not.

"How did this happen, Hatori?" Yuki asked, looking at Hatori.

"Akito transferred the beads from Kyo to Honda-kun," Hatori pointed out.

"We can all see that, you idiot!" Kyo yelled.

"Let him finish, baka!" Yuki shot at Kyo.

Kyo huffed, but remained silent.

"With it being Akito who had done so," Hatori said, with a cautious glance at Akito who was standing on his porch looking out at the garden, seemingly without a care in the world about what was going on behind him.

Tohru blinked around at everyone, as she sat in the palm of Hatori. It was then that Hatori noticed that she didn't completely looked like the previous cats of the zodiac curse. Her fur was orange with a light touch of her natural brown hair color, and she was the size of his palm.

Hatori studied Tohru closely, when suddenly there was a small 'poof' and suddenly he was holding a completely nude Tohru.

Hatori whipped around, and couldn't help but blush a little. He stared straight ahead of him at the face of Shigure.

Wait a second…Hatori thought staring at Shigure's smiling face.

"Turn around you sick man," Hatori ordered, and he grabbed Shigure by the shoulder's and turned him around.

"Aww, Haa-san, you are too cruel," Shigure complained.

"And you are too perverted," Hatori said.

Yuki and Kyo had turned immediately around once they had heard the small 'poof'. Both blushed madly.

Akito did nothing; he only continued to stare out towards the gardens.

Tohru quickly grabbed her clothes from the ground and put them back on.

"Um…it's…uh…okay to look, now," Tohru stutter in a small voice.

They all, minus Akito, turned to look at Tohru, and they all couldn't believe it.

Tohru's human form had changed as well; her hair was streaked with orange, and so were her eyes.

"Honda-san?" Yuki said, approaching her slowly.

"Yuki-san?" Tohru spoke, looking at him, "Kyo-kun? Hatori-san? Shigure-san?"

"So, Hondas-san," A voice came from the porch; Tohru turned to see that Akito had come inside and was now staring at her, "How do you like being the cat?"

"…" Tohru didn't really know how to respond to Akito's question, "I LOVE IT!"

Tohru bowed to Akito, smiling joyously, "I've always wanted to be the cat."

Everyone stared at her in disbelief, Akito then smirked, "How can you tell, you haven't enjoyed the whole experience…yet."

With that Akito approached Tohru, and took her wrist with the beads. He pulled them from her wrist, and smiled evilly at her, "Enjoy."

Tohru blinked, she didn't really catch on to what Akito meant by his words.

"What the hell?" Kyo shouted at Akito, "You can't bestow that upon, Tohru! Not even you can do-"

"Can't a god do that?" Akito said, and her glanced over at Kyo, with a cold stare, "I am god, after all."

Kyo froze in place, he hated that look, and it always made him feel like he was little kid.

"Ahh!" Tohru exclaimed, as she felt an odd sensation erupt in the pit of her stomach.

Kyo looked back at Tohru, as Hatori went to her and caught her, as she began to fall forward. Hatori guided her to the ground, and held her up right, as her breathing became heavy.

I never felt something like this before, Tohru realized, as the feeling in her stomach spread throughout her body.

Tohru wrapped her arms around her gut, and closed her eyes tight thinking, oww it hurts. Hatori-san, Sohma-san…please make it stop. Kyo-kun!

Kyo-kun! Tohru suddenly realized, this is your pain, isn't it? You had to go through this every time those beads came off your wrist.

Tohru opened one eye, slightly, and looked at Kyo, and then breathed out to him, "I'm sorry, Kyo-kun."

Tohru squeezed her eyes shut once more, Kyo-kun, if this is the pain you had to bare. I will bare it, too!

Tohru sat on her knees, and moved her arms that were around her waist, so that she was hugging herself tightly, I will bare this burden, so that you don't have to, Kyo-kun.

Tohru, then, started to feel her body change.
