Comment: Thank you all for your comments and reviews. To be honest I didn't think I'd get any reviewers and I was not even planning on making a second chapter much less a third one.

Kyou held onto Tohru's hand in a tight grip as a look of panic squashed itself onto both their faces. Kyou struggled to pull her up while he tried not to slip himself and he barely managed as she fell on top of him transforming him into a cat. Tohru looked startled from this as her eyes widened as Kyou's clothes fell off the roof.

"I…I am so sorry."

Kyou sighed and tried to repress the anger that wanted to explode out of his mouth at this point.

"Tohru….just…carry…down…latter…no…slipping…again."

Tohru sighed knowing he really was trying as she picked the orange, angry cat and climbed down the later and picked his clothes up carrying them both inside. She took him to his room and sat his clothes and him on the bed where he'd be able to change in privacy.

"Tohru, thank you."

Tohru nodded and before she left he changed back. She almost panicked, but then she covered her eyes with her hands as he'd gotten dressed. Suddenly Tohru could see Kyou's cat-like ears pointing upward and wondered what he was thinking about. He turned towards her as he walked closer to her now.

"Hey Tohru? Maybe since Yuki and Mana are going to the movies and all…I was wondering if maybe you'd like to go see a movie too?"

Tohru blushed a bit making Kyou smile. It was really cute how she blushed.

"Yes…I'd love to go…I even have the day off of work today, so it'd be perfect."

Kyou smiled some. She was the only one who made him smile. That was why he liked her so much. And she had even seen his other form, yet she still cared so deeply about him. They went downstairs and Kyou suddenly wanted to run. If you saw what he'd seen then you'd know it by now that it was Kagura come to see her "True Love".

"Kyou, Darling!" She wore an angelic smile as she gracefully ran up to him then suddenly she turned evil. Even her grin was evil now. "I'VE MISSED YOUUU!!! YOU HAVEN'T CALLED OR WRITTEN OR EVEN EMAILED ME AT LEAST!"

Kyou screamed as he ran somewhere to hide, but Kagura kept on the hunt for him. When she finally found him he and Tohru were kissing behind some laundry that Tohru herself had hung. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes as she walked away quietly and disappointed.

(Meanwhile)

A white and black haired teen looked at a map of the city. He was lost and trying to find Shigure's house. He'd been lost for two days now and getting lost constantly can get a little frustrating. He saw the path he needed and went straight for it when he saw Yuki and Mana coming out of the paths way. They passed him as he went onto the dirt path, but didn't say a word. He continued on until at last, he'd somehow found himself lost again, but he'd seen Kagura crying by a tree and wondered what was wrong. He came up by her and put a hand on her shoulder causing her to stop sobbing suddenly but her hands were still over her face.

"Who…who's there?" She managed to choke out.

"It's, It's me. Haru." He leaned down in front of her and held her close. "Kagura, is something the matter? Are you alright?" His voice held deep and loving concern for his older cousin.

"Haru? Kyou…I saw him and Tohru kissing…"

"Kagura, you don't need him. He was never even in love with you to begin with."

"B…but I love him."

"I'm sorry…I just don't know what to say." He held her tightly as she cried into his shoulder. He wanted to do something for her, but what could he do?

(Meanwhile)

Tohru blushed as Kyou's lips still pressed against her. His tongue ran across her bottom lip some and she had just parted lips as he slipped his tongue inside her mouth. This was her first kiss she had ever shared with someone and she was new to the whole experience. Kyou blushed as if thinking the same thing but he slowly started to feel his way around her mouth. It was so odd how she had loved the cat of the zodiac for so long and now here he was in front of her. It was like a fantasy come to life. He held her hips close with is warm, strong hands then suddenly a snapping sound was heard and a flash went off. Tohru felt Kyou stop kissing him suddenly and they both turned to see Shigure with a camera in his hand.

"Ah, I see I've been spotted!" Shigure laughed some. "Ayame will love this picture, so brilliant! So daring!"

"YOU SICK BASTARD! GIVE ME THAT CAMERA RIGHT NOW!" Kyou didn't look too happy and Tohru looked nervous as Kyou, now, chased Shigure all over the place. No one can find Shigure when he hides. It's mysterious how he can disappear without a trace, but when they finally found him he was drinking a cup of tea and reading a book like nothing had been going on at all.

"Where'd you put it?" Kyou questioned him glaring harshly at the calm looking dog before him.

"Where'd I put what Kyou?"

"You know what I am talking about mutt face, the damn camera is what!"

A fake look of realization came on Shigure's face.

"Oh! You mean that? I lost it."

"No you didn't!!!"

"Yes..I did."

(Meanwhile)

Ritsu sat at a library table as he scrambled through piles and piles of paper. His report was due tomorrow and he had a very limited time to finish it. Why was he so pathetic? He didn't know, but he did know that he needed this grade. Without it he'd be an even bigger failure then he was before. If only he were as smart as Yuki-san, then he'd have it all. He'd been trying to sort through this same mess for hours now and it all seemed hopeless when an unfamiliar face appeared. She wore a school uniform, the same as Tohru's. She also wore her short black hair down.

"Hi there, you seem like your in trouble. Do you need any help?"

"Umm, do I know you?" He looked up at her shyly.

"No, but you really do look like you in trouble ma'am. Are you writing a report of some sort?"

His eyes widened as he realized he was in his kimono and that's why she thought he was a woman.

"Yes, yes I am"

She smiled cheerfully all the same.

"Then let me help you if you don't mind."

She looked through the papers slowly piecing them together. A black cat watched them outside the window with piercing green eyes. It got up taking one last look before it left and began running down the street where it would find the Sohma Estate. It seemed to have been looking for something, but what?

(Meanwhile)

Tohru and Kyou were walking hand in hand down the path that lead out of Shigure's house when Momiji spotted them. He blinked a few times.

"Hey Kyou, Tohru…your holding hands. Why's that? Is it so Tohru doesn't get lost or something?" The younger Sohma really did seem honestly confused.

"No," Kyou said looking at him in surprise "We are dating now."

"OH!" Momiji looked completely surprised at the news. "Well I'm gonna tell Hatori!" He started running right before Kyou started running after him, then suddenly Kyou's eyes met a pair of angered, half crazy ones.

Well I do hope this chapter was all well and good. I really want to do something with Ritzu. No one ever really does unless it's Yaoi and that's not right seeing as in the manga Shigure's editor seems to hold a relationship with him.
