Yami: I DONT OWN IT ALREADY! though i want it...

The next morning Ryuichi was the first up. He sat in the bed staring at Kyo for the longest time trying to think of a way to repay him for all that he had done for him. He sighed quietly when he couldn't think of anything that would be enough for Kyo. Ryuichi snuggled closer to Kyo's chest. Kyo was up soon too and started petting Ryuichi again.

"Thank you, Kyo-kun." Ryuichi whispered.

"'S okay Koneko-chan." Kyo replied.

"You're too nice to me, what can I do to make you happy Kyo-kun?" Ryuichi asked.

"Shut-up and stay mine." Kyo said bopping Ryuichi on the nose. He got up and headed towards the door. He opened the door and walked straight into Tohru. Kyo instantly transformed into an orange cat. Tohru was trying to explain this to Ryuichi who just looked very confused. He got out of the bed and picked up the cat staring at it with confusion.

"Stop staring at me dammit!" Kyo yelled. Ryuichi smiled childishly then hugged the cat.

"You're so cute Kyo-kun!" Ryuichi said happily.

"Ryu? Don't you think this is weird?" Tohru asked surprised with Ryuichi's reaction.

"Nope! Kyo-kun is cute!" Ryuichi said huggling Kyo.

"So…you don't think I'm weird?" Kyo asked.

"Nope!" Ryuichi said happily. Kyo transformed back and the weight made Ryuichi fall back with Kyo straddling his waist.

"Um…I'll be back later!" Tohru said. Both boys blushed madly when she left, Kyo from being naked and Ryuichi from the suggestive position they were in.

"I guess I should explain what just happened shouldn't I…?" Kyo said. Ryuichi didn't say anything so Kyo decided to continue. "Well you know the zodiac legend, my family is possessed by the spirits of the animals… Shigure's the dog, Yuki's the rat, and I'm the cat… we're all cursed." When Ryuichi didn't respond Kyo feared that he was either afraid or was disgusted with him now. "I know it's weird but-" Kyo was going to start trying to dissuade Ryuichi's mind about the curse but he was cut off by Ryuichi's soft lips in his.

"Stop saying stupid things, like I said before, I don't think it's weird. So it's slightly abnormal, does that make you a different Kyo than the one that's been taking care of me for the last few days?" Ryuichi asked happily. "Plus, Kyo-kun was cute as a kitty!" he said hugging the still naked Kyo. He looked down and blushed mumbling an apology. Kyo got off of Ryuichi and quickly put on a pair of pants. "So you're the cat? It may seem strange to you, but if I had my way I'd be born in the year of the cat."

"Why would you want that? The cat was stupid and got tricked by the rat…" Kyo said sitting on his bed.

"True, but the cat must have been very lonely… I know what it's like to be left out and alone, no one really deserves that." Ryuichi said sadly. "Kyo-kun doesn't deserve that treatment just because he's the cat, you didn't choose that so it can't be you fault."

"If everyone thought like you probably more people would like me." Kyo mumbled. "You know what, Tohru said the same thing when she found out about the curse, that she'd rather be a cat, instead of a dog. What year are you really born in anyways?" Kyo asked.

"Monkey…" Ryuichi said hopping into Kyo's lap. Ryuichi lapped at Kyo's neck a little and Kyo let a small moan fall from his lips. Ryuichi had remembered from a school project that a cat's neck is one of their more sensitive spots and since Kyo had turned into a cat before he thought it might be the same with Kyo. He smiled at the sounds Kyo was making and bit down gently and Kyo moaned a little louder. After a few minutes of that he nuzzled into his shoulder.

"I've gotta go to school Ryu-kun, I'll be back in a few hours." Kyo said gently pushing Ryuichi off his lap. He changed into his uniform quickly and walked downstairs with Ryuichi and found Tohru and Yuki waiting for him.

"Bye Ryu-chan, I'll see you later!" Tohru laughed as they walked away.

"Bye…!" Ryu called.

"Now Ryuichi-kun, I'll be working so try to stay out of trouble." Shigure said after the three had left.

"I will Shigure-san." Ryuichi said with a cute smile he quietly padded back up to Kyo's room. He went to his backpack and pulled out a black notebook. Last year in English his teacher had had them write in a journal type thing every other week, they could write anything they wanted and Ryuichi found it to be a good way to express himself. He normally just wrote poetry or short stories, just to get everything off his mind so it didn't hurt so much. He had continued doing it because of those reasons.

He sat down on the bed white his notebook and turned on his headset. 'Deep Silent Complete' by Nightwish started playing, one of his favorite songs. He started writing random stories and stupid poems while listening to the CD and amazingly the whole day flew by with him doing that! When he heard the doors open his head jerked up and he turned off his music. He quickly padded down the stairs and peeked around the corner to make sure it was Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru there. It was and Uo-chan, Megumi, and Hana-chan were there too.

"Hey shorty, get out here!" Uo laughed seeing Ryuichi.

"Hi Uo-chan, Hana-chan, Megumi-kun. Nice to see you again." Ryuichi said smiling.
