Note from Raven: Yay! Chapter eight is up. I have a feeling this is gonna be a really long story. I hope there's no limit to how many chapters you can put. Anyways, I drew two new pictures for my story and put them on Deviantart. One of Kyo and Sakura and another one of Sakura and Yuki. So, go to the bottom of my profile if you want to see them. And don't go thinking who Sakura's gonna be paired with. I want to leave that a mystery for everyone. But I can tell you that it will be either Kyo or Yuki.
I also got the 13th book! I read it right away and I liked it. I really want to make all the characters (Such as the Sohmas) seem like the ones from the manga or anime. I liked reading the manga cause it lets me see how the characters would really act. I'm glad I have Sakura cause I can make her act however I want.
Another thing is that i'm really sorry that it's been a long time since I've put up the next chapter. I blame fanfiction cause when i tried to submit documents, it wouldn't let me. I started pulling out my hair that i got so mad! Lol just kidding but anyways enough of me... here's the story!
Sorry one more thing... I would like to thank AnimeCrazy88, Aliza-phantom, Bunny The Assassin and Chi-san(I love you!) for reviewing. - thanks
Chapter 8: Transformation?
Sakura the cat slowly made her way to the orange-headed boy. He realized he had company. Kyo glanced over at the cat and noticed the bell she wore.
"Hey, that bell…" Kyo was about to pick up the cat but Sakura ran back.
She went over to the ladder. Sakura had made up a plan for what she was about to do. Sakura faced away from Kyo. She tried directing her voice to the bottom of the ladder.
"Hey Kyo? Do you see a cat up there?" She felt like an idiot by doing this.
Kyo recognized Sakura's voice. "Yeah, it's standing by the ladder."
"Well, it took my bell. I'm gonna come up there to get it."
Sakura wasn't sure if her plan would work but it was worth a try. She acted like a cat and sat there for a while. After a minute or so, she pretended to be running away from the 'human Sakura' supposedly coming after her. The cat Sakura ran into Kyo. Sakura kissed him and a silver smoke surrounded Sakura. When it cleared, a fully clothed Sakura was lying on top of Kyo. She just stared at him and he stared at her.
"Uh, hi!" Sakura flashed a big smile at him.
Kyo wanted to do the same but didn't. "Could you get off of me?"
"Right." Sakura quickly got off and sat next to him. "Well, uh, the cat got away. Darn. At least I got my bell back. Eh-heh." Sakura was hoping that she had fooled Kyo.
"Why did it have your bell in the first place?"
"I….. I put it on the cat because…" Sakura hesitated. "… it looked cute. Then it ran away."
"That was kinda stupid."
"I know. Sorry for falling on you." Sakura realized something. "Wait… you didn't turn into cat. How?"
Kyo realized this too and was surprised. Sakura got excited.
"Wow! This is great! I should tell Shigure and Yuki and- AHH!" In excitement, Sakura was running around and had slipped. Sakura grabbed the edge of the roof.
Yuki ran out of the house and saw what was happening and held out his arms. "Miss Luna!"
Kyo began to go get her but Sakura lost her grip.
"No! Damn it!" Kyo jumped after her.
Sakura was falling backwards. In the air, her body twisted and she was about to land on her feet. Kyo got a hold of her arm and then held her close. Both landed on top of Yuki. Shigure came out of the house with Hatori and Momiji behind him.
"Well, this certainly is a sight. Perhaps the roof isn't the safest place to be." Shigure said.
The three were still piled on top of each other.
"Miss Luna, are you alright? You're not hurt?" Yuki struggled.
Sakura felt dizzy. "Yes, but are you two okay? I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for me to be such an idiot."
"Don't worry about it." Yuki said.
"Next time don't be so clumsy as to fall off a roof." Kyo said.
"I wouldn't be talking if I were you, Stupid Cat." Yuki said.
"Shut up Damn Rat! It's not like I wanted to end up like this!"
"Well then could you get off of me already. I don't want any of your stupidity to rub off on me."
"That's it!" Kyo got up. Sakura got off of Yuki and Yuki stood up. Kyo punched and Yuki blocked it. Soon enough, they started fighting.
"Yuki! Kyo!" Sakura ran over to stop the fighting boys. She got in the middle of both of them. Kyo punched Sakura right in the back.
"That looked like it hurt." Shigure said from the sidelines.
"I hope she's okay." Momiji said.
"Huh?" Yuki and Kyo gasped.
Sakura fell to her knees. Yuki held her. "Miss Luna! Are you okay?"
"Where's Kyo?" Sakura looked over at him. "Please, come close to me…."
Kyo knelt down by Sakura.
"You truly are an idiot." Yuki whispered.
"Please come closer. Yuki doesn't need to hear this." Sakura whispered.
Kyo went as close as he could. His face was right next to hers. He began to blush.
"Kyo…." She whispered. "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" Sakura yelled.
Kyo fell back and his ears were still ringing. Sakura stood up with Yuki's help.
"Are you alright?" Yuki asked, still concerned.
"My back is a little sore but I'll be fine. Oh, uh hi." She saw the little blond boy and the tall guy with his hair covering his left eye.
"Hi! So, you're Sakura right?" Momiji asked enthusiastically. "I'm so happy to meet you. Guess who I am."
"Momiji, right?"
"Yeah! You're right! So, you know about the whole transforming thing, right?"
Sakura nodded.
"Great! So, I can hug you! Yay!" Momiji jumped and he hugged Sakura.
Sakura screeched in pain because of her back. She fell back and a boom sounded. When she hit the ground, the beck on her neck rang. Hatori and Momiji froze for a while. When the smoke cleared, a little yellow bunny was sitting on Sakura's lap.
"How cute! You're the rabbit." Sakura hugged the little bunny.
Shigure, smiled at seeing her. He spoke to Hatori away from Sakura's hearing.
"You know Ha'ri, it's still a shame you never got to know Tohru but I'm thinking now you're not missing much with Sakura here."
"She's quite a girl, isn't she?" Hatori said.
"Yes. You know, she's very mysterious and unpredictable. I'm thinking that she really belongs with us. Even if she isn't one of the cursed ones, Sakura still is able to fit it somehow. Maybe its her unique personality."
Sakura stood up and held the rabbit. She walked over to Hatori.
"Hi. I'm Sakura. You're Hatori, right?"
Hatori nodded. "You know Tohru had her memory erased right?"
Sakura wasn't sure was he was getting at but she nodded, unsure of what he would say.
"Well, whether you have the same fate is still up to Akito. You're safe for now."
"Huh?" Sakura questioned.
"Ha'ri don't be so mean to Sakura." Momiji said.
Hatori looked at the little bunny then at Sakura. He turned away. "Hmm… I suggest you put some ice on your back. I think its time we left Momiji."
"Aww…. But I wanna stay with Sakura."
"We'll visit another time." Hatori picked up Momiji's clothes.
Momiji sighed. "Okay. Bye Sakura." Momiji jumped out of Sakura's arms and was picked up by Hatori. They left.
"Wasn't that a fun day? Well, let's put some ice on your back." Shigure went into the house.
Yuki walked up to Sakura. "Miss Luna… About Hatori… He-he was the one that erased Miss Honda's memory. I'm glad he hasn't done it to you. I hope you never have to forget."
"Yeah.. Me neither." Sakura whispered. Yuki went inside the house.
"Hey!" Kyo called. Sakura turned around. Kyo was red.
"I-I'm not good at controlling my temper whenever I'm fighting that damn rat. I guess I need more training… Next time stay out of the way so that way I won't hurt you again."
Is he trying to apologize? He must not be very good at it but I'm sure its hard for him. Sakura thought.
"Don't worry about it." Sakura smiled. She turned around and went inside.
Kyo stood there. He too gave a small, awkward smile.
The next morning, Sakura awoke with a better back and got dressed for school. She went downstairs and cooked breakfast. Yuki came into the kitchen. He looked half-asleep.
"Morning Yuki." Sakura said happily.
Yuki mumbled something back.
"That damn rat usually has a hard time getting up." Kyo came into the kitchen.
"I see. Do you want some milk, Kyo?" Sakura, who really loved milk, poured herself a glass and thought Kyo would want some too since he probably likes milk as much as she does.
"Yeah, sure." Kyo said.
Sakura poured him a glass. Shigure came into the kitchen.
"Morning everyone! I smell something good." Shigure said happily.
"Breakfast is almost ready." Sakura said.
"Good, oh Sakura. I meant to talk to you about something." Shigure said.
"Y-yes."
"Yesterday, you seemed to have run into Kyo and Yuki numerous times and never seemed to make them transform."
"Actually, I was going to tell you the same thing. Unfortunately, I had the whole roof incident. I'm not sure why it's been happening. Maybe it was a fluke."
Yuki finally awoke. "You know, flukes don't really happen with us."
"Yes, that is true." Shigure said.
"Didn't she make that brat transform?" Kyo asked.
"That's right. I did make Momiji transform." Sakura agreed.
"Hmm… Yes, but something seems to not be right. Sakura, is there something you're not telling us?"
"Huh? Uh…. Of course not." Sakura panicked.
"Didn't you mention something about a secret?" Shigure looked at her suspiciously.
"Y-yes but, I don't think it has anything to do with me not transforming you. Maybe it does but I'm not sure. It must've been a fluke. I'll- I'll prove it." Sakura went over to Shigure and hugged him. Nothing happened and Sakura let go. She went over to Kyo and hugged him and still nothing happened. Finally, she went over to Yuki and embraced him. He blushed but other than that, nothing happened.
"I-I don't understand. I can hug you all. Not that it's a bad thing but… How is this possible?" Sakura thought for a while.This doesn't make sense. She thought. Unless…. The bell! Everytime it rings, me and the person near me who hears it has a strange feeling. Or at least I think they do cause I know I do. Maybe that's why. But this hasn't happened before. Maybe it's got to do with them being the Sohma family.
"Guess we'll never find out, will we?" Kyo said.
"We could but you're too stupid to figure out anything." Yuki said.
"You DAMN RAT! You better shut that damn mouth of yours before my fist makes you do it!"
"I'd like to see you try."
"Fine! Let's go!"
They started fighting again.
"Are they always like this?" Sakura asked.
"Sadly, yes. Ever since they were born, they've done nothing but hate each other. Once they were old enough to fight then that's when it all began. But ever since you got here, things have been better. They don't get into fist fights as much, which is good because they don't destroy my poor house."
"Oh! I almost forgot, when did you fix the door? The one Kagura broke?"
"While you slept, I had someone come over to fix it."
"That's good."
The two boys were still fighting. Sakura walked over to them. Kyo and Yuki noticed she was coming and stopped fighting. Sakura paused and looked at them with a confused look. Kyo and Yuki were faced away from each other and were blushing. Sakura smiled at seeing them.
"Breakfast is ready." Sakura set up the table. They all ate.
After breakfast, they went to school. Sakura walked with Kyo and Yuki. On the way, she heard a familiar voice.
"Hey! Don't leave me behind!" Kaori caught up. "Geez! Anyway, hey Orange-head. Hey Prince."
"Neh…" Kyo mumbled.
"Hello Miss Suzuki." Yuki said.
"So, how have you been Sakura? How was your weekend?"
"Very eventful. It turns out that I'm living with Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure."
"No way! So, at least you're not living in that tree. You two better take care of Sakura." Kaori glared at the boys.
"Don't worry Kaori. They are. After all, they're letting me stay in their house."
"That's true. I'm happy for you Sakura. You've finally found a home.
Sakura looked up at the sky. "Yeah." She whispered.
The day went by quick and after school, the three walked home together. After the days continued to go by, Sakura became close friends with Yuki and Kyo. Weeks went by and they became even closer friends. One night, Sakura had a dream that changed her feelings. In the morning, she awoke.
I-I think I like him! I do! I have a crush on him. When did this happen?
Dun Dun DUN! Oh... I'm not gonna tell who it is until it's time. I can tell you that it's either Kyo or Yuki though. It's gonna be a while before it's actually declared but you'll probably figure it out on your own cause I'm gonna make it really obvious. The least I can do though is give a summary of the next chapter(A very short summary). I've already written it and I just need totype it on the computer.
Chapter 9: When Sakurareads Kaori with a letter to Sakura with no return address, it breaks her heart resulting in her changing into a cat again. She manages to transform only in front of one person but this time, it might not be so easy for excuses. Find out what happens in chapter nine!
