He laid on the ground still, sighing as he stared up at the sky, his shirt being tattered shreds of cloth. The cat looked up weakly before her head fell on the warm soil. Kyou shifted slightly and looked over at the other small cat before his eyes fell closed and he dozed off.
"Stupid cat your just going to let it die." Yuki reached over picking up the cat they didn't even make a sound now as he started back home to Shigure's.
"I-It's not... a s-stray..." he mumbled as he lay on the ground still, trying to look at Yuki.
He held the cat by the scruff of the neck. "How is it not a stray it has no collar." He looked down to Kyou. "I doubt the thing will live with as many open wounds as it has now."
"I-It's T-Toh..." he slowly closed his eyes and let his head fall back, falling into a light slumber.
Yuki shook his head as he looked down to him. "Your so pathetic." He carried the cat into the house laying her down on the table causing Shigure to look up from his paper.
Kyou's form lay lightly upon the ground still, sleeping. Yuki walked back from the kitchen with bandages and medicine for the injured cat that lay unconscious on the ground.
Slowly Kyou shifted, his eyes opening just a bit to look up at the sky. "Wh-Where am I..?" A scream could be heard from the house along with shouting. Kyou quickly sat up as he heard the noises, jumping up and starting to run towards the house. Yuki was trying to keep her down she was still in her cat form, but she was slippery from all the blood that covered her body. Slowly Kyou walked in and looked down a bit. She swiped at Yuki quickly getting him across the cheek as she hissed seeing Kyou Yuki taking this opportunity to tie her feet together to keep her from running.
Kyou quickly walked over and picked her up, taking off the ropes. "What the hell are you doing to Tohru?"
Yuki looked at him confused. "You've finally lost it cat!" The cat laid in his arms weakly blood soaking threw his clothing.
"N-No... It's really her..." he said as he flopped down and sat against the wall.
"... Then why are you letting her die in your arms why won't you let me help her you damn cat." Yuki was trying to keep a calm voice, but it was hard to hide the anger.
"... Then why are you letting her die in your arms why won't you let me help her you damn cat." Yuki was trying to keep a calm voice, but it was hard to hide the anger.
"I'm keeping your ass from tying her up like some wild beast rat!"
"She wouldn't sit still she kept attacking me before I could put any medicine on or bandages on her what else was I supposed to do!"
"Try calming her by petting or something, but don't freaking' tie her up!" Slowly he laid the girl on the table, petting her.
She didn't even try anything now her body was to strained and weak to try anything now. Yuki slowly leaned over placing a warm towel on her wounds starting to clean them.
"See how simple that is, damn rat," he said as he continued to lightly pet the female cat, keeping her calmed.
"I doubt that's why she's still she barely has any strength left." Yuki glared at the male cat before placing medicine on the cuts.
"Shut up," Kyou said and continued to pet the girl, watching her wounds be cleaned by the other boy.
He slowly wrapped the wounds. "... When she feels better I'll have to change the bandages again..."
"Well, when that time comes I guess I'll just have to pet her and keep her calm again, since you're such an inconsiderate bastard."
"I didn't know it was her!" He looked down to the cat his eyes closing halfway. "... What did Akito-san do to her... Look at all these scars..."
"I don't know... she was like that when I found her in the cage at the estate..." he said as he slowly walked away and took a seat.
"So she took the beating for you..." He finished wrapping her wounds he slowly and carefully picked her up carrying her upstairs into her room.
Kyou leaned back against the wall once more, his head hanging slightly as he sighed just a bit, "I suppose..."
He covered her up making sure the windows were locked so she wouldn't try anything stupid she slowly closed the door as he walked out locking the door behind him. Kyou's head was down, his chin resting against his chest as he lay there. "Cat why did she transform like that I thought it was only you that was a monster." Kyou didn't speak, his head resting against his chest as he lay there, having fallen asleep.
The next morning scratching could be heard from her room as she tried to get out her body was still weak so she hadn't changed back into her normal form. Kyou slowly opened his eyes and lifted his head. "Damn.. I can't believe I slept here all night and no one woke me or covered me... bastards..." Faint cries could be heard be heard now from her room as she continued to claw her paws slowly slipping out from under the door.
Slowly Kyou stood, hearing a sound from upstairs. Blinking, he slowly walked up them and towards the origin of the sounds, "Tohru?" Her paws slowly slipped from the doorway as she moved away her cries stopping now.
Slowly he walked to the door and tried to turn the doorknob, "Stupid ass rat... why'd he lock her door?"
Yuki slowly walked out from his room rubbing his eyes. "... What the hell are you doing cat?"
"She wants out.. She's up and moving around and your dumbass locked the door so she can't get out."
"Did you want her to run away with those injuries?" He spoke coldly toward the cat now as he walked over pulling a key from the doorway unlocking the door.
"No, but it would have been nice for me to be able to get in…. Bastard."
"Well go then." Yuki looked away from the cat heading downstairs. Slowly the door opened and Kyou looked down, trying to spot the small cat. She was trying to get back up on the bed now her claws getting stuck in the blankets putting up a struggle. Slowly he walked over to her and closed his hands lightly around her small form, helping to lift her up onto the bed so that she could rest more.
She slowly lay down on her side looking up to him weakly. "... Why are you making me suffer like this...?"
"I'm not doing anything to you..." he said softly as he tilted his head, "I'm helping you..."
"... Your helping is hurting me though..." She spoke sadly now. "... Akito-sama when he finds me he'll hurt me... He might even kill me this time..." Tears started to roll down her face,
"Akito will not find you..." he spoke softly as he looked down at her, "if he does... then it'll be me that goes to the cage... it's where I belong..."
"... Why do you say that... I'm the cat I'm the monster..." She took a deep breath as her eyes closed.
"I'm the cat... you're just a normal girl... or you were only supposed to be a normal girl..."
"... Then how did I end up in the cage... why am I like this...?"
"Because you were foolish enough to cross Akito trying to save me from the cage..." he mumbled as he looked towards the door.
"... So you know me who I was..." She spoke sadly looking to the male cat her ears going back.
"Yea..." he said softly as he hung his head, "I know who you are Tohru..."
"... Then I will ask you to do something for me... To never tell me who I really was..."
"Why," he asked softly as he slowly lifted his head once more and looked over towards her, his head tilting just a bit.
"... I want to start a new... I don't want you to suffer because of me not remember who I was..."
"But you... were a wonderful person..." he said softly as he turned his head away and looked down.
"... Then I should be now right." She tried to smile for him now.
He smiled a bit, looking down at her, his head tilted. She slowly closed her eyes. "... Who are you...?"
His head fell slightly as he looked over at her and lost his smile. "I'm Kyou, Kyou Sohma, the cat of the Sohma family."
"... Its nice to meet a fellow cat... as nice as you..." He looked down at her and smiled a bit, his head tilting ton one side.
"... Kyou-kun I'm hungry... I haven't eaten for a long time... I think a week now..." She slowly looked up to the cat.
Nodding softly, he slowly picked her up and started walking down towards the kitchen. She rested against him now her eyes closed halfway as she let out a soft purring sound. Slowly he walked into the kitchen and looked down at the girl, placing her on the floor. "I'll get you come fish." She slowly walked over limping laying down on one of the pillow seats curling up as much as she could so her wounds wouldn't open. Slowly he reached into the fridge and pulled out a plate of fish, placing it on the floor in front of her.
She slowly looked up to him weakly smiling. "... Thank you Kyou-kun..." She slowly leaned down taking a bite of the fish struggling to eat. Slowly he watched her, sitting down beside her. She looked up to him stopping now almost scared he was going to hurt her. He reached down and lightly brushed his hand over her back, watching her still. She flinched at his touch before going back to the fish she only managed to eat half of one. Her eyes slowly closed as she lowered her head. He watched her, his hand still slowly, lightly brushing over the cat's back. She slowly pushed herself up crawling over to him resting her head on his lap. His hand ran over her back still.
Shigure walked in seeing the boy petting the cat. "I thought you didn't like cats following around?"
"It's not just any old cat... it's Tohru..." he said softly and leaned back.
"... So Akito-sama went threw with the plans then..." Shigure sighed sadly as he walked over kneeling beside him petting Tohru.
