Chappie 3 has arrived. Gomen ne but it took longer than I thought it would. I did a complete spring-cleaning of my room and I never realized how much stuff I have. Then there was my birthday, which also got in the way but I am now 18! WOOT! Hope you enjoy this chappie. I hope to have the next one out soon. I'm just not sure what to do next. I'm between four different scenarios. I know! I'll leave it up to you. Vote for your favourite out of the following:

1) Milk

2) Fish

3) Sheets

4) Warm sun rays

See chapter one for disclaimer.

Chapter 3-Addiction

Shigure stepped into the kitchen, his stomach wasstarting to growl. He noticed the large paper bag sitting on the table. 'Tohru must have bought some groceries,' he thought. 'Since lunch won't be for a while, I suppose there's no harm in stealing a snack.' Much to his disappointment, he found no food. He did find brightly coloured plastic balls decorated with feathers and a small, plastic bag of what appeared to be some type of spice. He examined the package for a moment but couldn't come to a conclusion. He heard a noise behind him so he turned and saw Tohru entering the kitchen. "Tohru-kun, what is this?" he asked, pointing to the bag.

"Oh, that's catnip," she replied."Hana-chan, Uo-chan and I are volunteering at a cat shelter so I thought I would buy them some treats and toys. I figured they would love catnip. Just one smell and they go crazy."

Shigure opened the bag and took a deep whiff but quickly started coughing on the smell. "That smells horrible."

"Well, to humans(and dogs)it will. Cats adore it."

"So one sniff of this and any cat will go crazy?" Shigure asked. Tohru nodded. "Hmmm," Shigure pondered. His eyes glazed over as an evil plan began to unfold in his mind.

Kyo had just finished his training for the day and was taking a rest by the koi pond in the backyard.

"Kyon-kichi, I have a surprise for you," Shigure announced enthusiastically, as he opened the door to the outside. (A/N In anime, have you ever seen a door open and there's confetti and trumpet fanfare? Picture that.)

"Damn it!" Kyo yelled as he ran toward Shigure to punch the living daylights out of him. "DON'T CALL ME--" Kyo stopped dead in his tracks in front of Shigure. He raised his head in the air, sniffing the breeze. His nose led him down to Shigure's closed hand where the catnip was hidden. He sniffed at Shigure's hand a few times before proceeding to rub his face against Shigure's hand. All the while, Shigure was trying to suppress his laughter. It sort of worked, until he decided to take this situation to another level. He gently tossed the catnip onto the porch, which rolled a small distance and landed about a foot from Kyo. He dove down and started to rub his face against the small plastic bag, making slight noises in his throat that sounded a lot like purring. From rubbing his face, he started to rub his back on it and eventually, he was rolling on his back on the tiny bag. Meanwhile, the entire time, Shigure was in a fit of giggles. After tossing the bag of catnip and Kyo dove after it, he had to lean against the wall for support from laughing so hard.

Inside, Tohru could hear Shigure's laughing fit and decided to investigate. Once she opened the door, she saw Shigure doubled over against the wall, laughing. Kyo was on his back with his arms and legs bent in the air making a very odd noise in his throat.

Tohru, who had many theories of what was going on and how it happened, asked, "Kyo?" addressing the lump on the ground. "What are you doing?"

Tohru's words jarred Kyo from his hypnotic state. The "purring" immediately ceased and he looked up. With shifty eyes he stuttered, "N-nothing." Saying that, he ran back into the house and up to his room, his cheeks a slight pink from embarrassment.

Tohru's eyes followed Kyo back into the house and once he was out of sight, turned back to where he was a moment ago. "Oh, there's my catnip." She picked up the plastic bag and walked back into the house. Shigure began to recover from his laughing fit and took a deep breath. He leaned against the wall again and looked up at the sky. 'That's one for the books,' he thought.

Hope you liked it. Remember, vote for your favourite of the four in your review or e-mail me. If you do, I'll give you cookies and milk.
