Crossing Over
Chapter Four
I decided not to do a crossover. I just don't feel like it. I might do one later though.
Annnnyyyways…. I just felt like writing, so you guys get to read. Lucky you.
D-to the-ISC-to the-LAME-to the-R: I OWN FRUITS BASKET! AND THE DANCING TOFU THAT LIVES IN YUKI'S HAIR! (not really)
Seventh Period...Or Not...
As Kyo and I trudged back to Miss Mallett's class (I have her for typing too.), I noticed that he was unusually quiet (okay, so he's
usually quiet. I'm talking even his walking was subdued.). He was also looking pretty down, so I, curious, decided to ask what was
wrong. Bad idea. "Are you okay, Kyo? You seem kinda sad," was my lovely idiotic question. "I just miss Tohru, that's…did I just say
that?" he said, slapping his hand over his mouth. Ouch for me. I had to fight the evil green monster (AKA jealousy) for a few minutes
before speaking. "Well, I'll just call my mom and we can skip seventh hour. She'll fax the school her signature and we can go. Come on,
I'll go call her now," I said, pulling him in the direction of the bathroom. "You stand watch, okay?" I told Kyo. "Yeah, yeah. Just go call
already." I nodded and slipped into the bathroom. It took me about five seconds to get Mom to fax her signature to the school. We
headed up to the office and checked out. As we walked back through the woods, Kyo still kept really quiet. And he was wobbling
around like he couldn't walk straight. I walked over to him and he looked down at me. His face was really pale, yet his cheeks were
flushed. He was SICK. I put my hand to his forehead and almost jerked away in surprise; he was burning up. "Kyo! Why didn't you tell
me you were sick!" I yelled, really worried now. "I'm not sick…just…tired. Why is the ground moving so much?" he said faintly. And
then he transformed. I scooped him up, along with his clothes, and ran all the way back home. I laid him on the bed in my room and
covered him up in case he transformed back. I grabbed a thermometer and some medicine and rushed back to the bed. I stuck the
thermometer in his furry mouth and watched the numbers on the little screen tick up and up and up and up until they finally stopped at
104.6 degrees. I removed the thermometer more carefully than I had inserted it and popped two pills out of their containers. I got him to
swallow the medicine and he fell asleep. I sat and petted his ears for a while…and then I must have dosed off too.
When I woke up, Kyo was gone. Spooky walked in and sat by my side. Are you looking for the boy? she asked. Yeah. How did you
know? I asked back, a little shocked. You spend a lot of time with him these days. Anyway, he went off into the woods
somewhere. He looked awful. You should go after him, she said drily. Thanks, I said, running out of the room. I got about five yards
down the path into the woods when an indescribably awful odor practically knocked me over. I gagged, but kept walking. I was starting
to get a really bad feeling. I heard a painfilled roar coming from in front of me, and started running in that direction. I came to a clearing
and saw something I'd never thought I'd see. (Man, that's happening a lot lately, isn't it?) Kyo stood in the middle of the clearing. Except
it wasn't Kyo like I was used to seeing him. It was his true form. All I could think was how much pain he must be in. I walked up behind
him and wrapped my arms around him. "I'm sorry, Kyo. I'm so very very sorry. I wish…I wish it was me instead. I wish I could take all
your pain away. But I can't. I can't even begin to understand how much it hurts. All I can do is stand by and watch. So… I'm sorry," I
said, crying now. I felt his paws settle on my hands around his middle. "No…no, I'm glad it's not anyone else but me. I don't…I don't
want anyone to hurt as bad as I do. So it's okay. I don't blame you; I blame that damn rat. It's all his fault; he started all of this. He is the
one who deserves to hurt," he said. "But Kyo…it wasn't Yuki who did this. It was the original rat. Just like you weren't the cat who was
deceived by the rat. Maybe he hurts as much as you do," I answered. I felt him stiffen as the thought of this registered. I felt him shrink
and the short fur that my face had been pressed against was replaced by skin for a short instance. Then, Kyo transformed into his cat
form. I caught him and turned him so that he faced me. I smiled, "Now let's go get your beads so you can be human again. You're still
sick and you won't fit in the bed in your true form." He nodded, and we started off down the path.
Ok…that probably really sucked. Oh well… Anyway…I wrote this at like…12:30 at night. Insomnia is wonderful isn't it? Whatever, thanks for reading!
