(Yuki POV)

He got up in the early morning and started to get ready for school as usual. He packed his book bags and got dressed and soon he was down stairs. He was eating breakfast and saw that instead of eating Sayuri was typing on a laptop computer. She looked to be in deep concentration as she typed quickly with no hesitation. She did have a cup of tea that she sipped every now and then. She looked over at him smiling kindly as always.

"Good morning Yuki San, did you sleep well?" She was always so kind to him and everyone else...and yet there was something about her that didn't seem right.

"I slept terribly but, thank you. Did you sleep well Sayuri?"

"Ah, yes, I slept just fine since it was raining last night."

"Really? I never get any sleep when it's raining. Only Kyo normally would get good sleep during a thunder storm."

"Yes, that is something isn't..." She stopped talking as if she had heard something, then Kyo came in looking red in the face and a frown covering his face.

"Hey fucking rat! You stole my homework! GIVE IT BACK!"

"I did no such thing you stupid cat, you probably put it somewhere then forgot where you put it like an idiot as usual." Kyo looked even angrier at this statement.

"No I didn't! You wanna fight?"

Yuki got up and stood there.

"Now Kyo, we all know you don't stand a chance against me."

"Says who?"

Sayuri smirked and decided to do something different this time. She got up and hugged him from behind. He didn't transform, but something had definitely changed as he blushed heavily and ran outside. Kyo tried to run after him, but Sayuri grabbed his wrist.

(Kyo's POV)

"Wait Kyo, stay here. I bet you are hungry aren't you?"

Kyo looked at her and then realised that he was indeed hungry.

"Yeah...I guess I am a little hungry."

She smiled some and walked with him to the kitchen where a dozen rice balls where made.

"I put salmon in them, I like salmon a lot so I knew you would too."

Kyo blinked for a second.

"But...how?" He looked confused at why someone who was supposed born in the year of the cow would think of fish as their favorite dish and use that to know that he liked it too. It didn't make since to him now that he was thinking of it so deeply. He was broken from his thought however when Sayuri asked him something.

"Kyo? I was wondering...which chinese zodiac sign are you?"

"I..." Kyo seemed nervous as if choosing his answer, then suddenly.

"Good morning!" Shigure said in his sing song voice.

Sayuri sighed and greeted him back.

"Good morning Shigure San, how was your sleep last night?"

Kyo seemed relieved that he did not have to answer her question as Shigure seemed to have caught her into an conversation as he snuck away taking a few rice balls with him. He slinked away and onto the roof top where he was sure no one would find him. He would however have to go to school soon so this was only a temporary escape.

(Meanwhile, Sayuri POV)

Sayuri had gotten away from Shigure excusing herself and going behind the house and behind a distant tree. She then flipped a cell phone open and called someone. She waited patiently as the phone rang and a woman answered the phone.

(Kyo's POV)

Kyo relaxed letting all thought drift as his eyes wondered the woods and skies. A rice ball shaped cloud flew overhead and it made him think of Tohru. He noticed that the pumpkins he had planted for halloween were increasing in size. He also noticed Sayuri secretly talking on a cell phone with someone...wait...why was she hiding behind a tree with a cell phone? Kyo tuned into her conversation with his cat like hearing and began to listen to a conversation that would totally make him forget about the schism of the cat and rat and just when he thought he'd pieced it together...

...To be continued.
