I really shouldn't have posted the first chapter before I went on a trip with the fam ; oh well, at least it's here now, please review!
"Any sign of Kyo yet?" Yuki asked passing Tohru on the street.
"No! Where could he have gone! He could be lost or hurt or cold or, or-"
"Shhhhhhh, Ms. Honda you have to calm down, we'll find him, don't worry." Yuki said putting a hand on her shoulder. "Listen, I'm going to call some of the others, we'll try and find him. In the mean time go back to the house, you've been looking all night. For all you know he could be at the house right now." If that were true Yuki would be so pissed. "Okay?"
Tohru nodded, tears still flowing down her cheeks. "Please call me if you hear anything. I'll make lunch for everybody for later."
"Good idea, we'll be back for lunch." Tohru nodded and began to walk back to the house. Yuki hated seeing her so depressed he just had to find Kyo, for Tohru. 'She cares so much about her friends,' he thought smiling.
---------------------------------------
Kyo stood there looking up at the old man before him. 'Oh crap, crap, crap, crap.' Kyo thought frozen in his tracks.
"Grandpa, can we go find some kitty toys for Kohana today? Please?" Emiko stood there smiling brightly.
"Sure, but maybe we should let little Kohana get used to the house first." Kyo realized he had to do something. So he shattered his last little sliver of dignity as he bounced up into the girl's arms. 'I can't change back, I can't change back! He knows who I am!' Kyo said licking the girl's face affectionately.
"Awwww, kitty, you're so cute!" Emiko squealed hugging the cat right back.
--------------------------------
'Damnit! Damnit, damnit, damnit!' Kyo ranted in his mind. 'If I change back I'll be naked! And that's Tohru's grandpa! He'd probably think I'm a pervert and make her move out of the house! Plus her relatives will never let her hear the end of it. I have to get out of here!' Kyo frantically looked ran around the house while Emiko went with her grandpa to the pet store.
"Hey look, its Emiko's cat." An older lady said pointing to the cat as Kyo walked into the room. 'Oh crap.'
"Come here kitty, kitty, kitty." The older man said as he bent down. Kyo turned around and hissed at the man. "Whoa!" The man snapped back up to a standing position with a look of fear in his eyes.
"Hah! Even cats don't like you!" A teenage girl said observing this from behind a kitchen counter. Kyo recognized all these people, they were the ones who called Tohru a tramp when they found out she was living at Shigure's house. He didn't like these people at all, so… might as well have some fun with them.
Kyo walked up to the teenage girl who looked down at the cat in surprise. When she bent down to pick up Kyo, he scratched her right on the arm and hissed loudly. "OW!" The girl said dropping Kyo onto the floor who landed with perfect grace.
"Kohana!" A familiar voice was heard as Emiko stepped into the room.
"Emiko, your cat is dangerous!" The older lady exclaimed. Right then Kyo jumped up into Emiko's arms and purred.
"Are you trying to prevent a little girl from having a cat? A cute cat might I add." The grandfather walked into the room and gave his relatives a stern look. Kyo turned his head still in Emiko's arms and glared at the three. This just frightened them even more.
'I guess staying here for a little while won't be the worst thing in the world.' Kyo snickered under his breath. Suddenly Kyo perked up his ears. Which everyone seemed to take notice of. He jumped out of the girl's arms and made his way to the living room and stood up on the couch.
"No! Bad kitty!" The man tried to say but Kyo just hissed at him again causing him to back off. Kyo looked out the window once again to see Yuki, Hatsuharu and Momiji.
"Kyo! Kyo!" Momiji cried.
"Kyo where are you?" Hatsuharu added.
"Guys, we've been down this street before, it's starting to snow again too. Look, let's go back to the house, Tohru made us some lunch. We'll keep looking after, okay?" Yuki said to the two boys. They nodded failing to notice the orange cat banging his paws angrily against the window.
"Kohana do you want to go outside?" Kyo just glared at the three boys walking away. He ignored the girl and climbed up the stairs. 'Tohru must be worried sick! I have to find a way to tell everybody I'm okay.'
----------------------------------
"Tohru looked at the approaching boys with a glimmer of hope in her eyes as she saw the bundle of clothes in Yuki's arms.
"Well?" Tohru asked hopefully.
"Yuki shook his head. "Still no sign of him." They could hear Kagura sobbing in the next room. "Is everyone here?" Tohru nodded.
"All the zodiac members I know, but Kazuma is still at his house, probably worrying just as much as the rest of us."
"Well, we found his clothes, but no cat, for know we can at least assume he's awake and moving, although I don't why he wouldn't take his clothes with him."
"I'll take those to the laundry room Yuki." Tohru said grabbing Kyo's clothes. While Tohru walked away they could hear the phone ringing. "Yuki, can you get that? It's probably Kazuma." Yuki nodded and headed toward the nightstand where the phone was.
"Hello?"
"Yuki?" Yuki's eyes widened, it was Kyo, but he was… whispering.
"Kyo?!" The entire house went quiet as Yuki answered. Kagura and Tohru rushed to Yuki's side, slightly relieved.
"Yea, yea it's me, listen…"
"Stupid cat! Where the hell have you been? We've got everybody over here looking for you! Do you have any idea how worried these people were?! Where are you?!"
"I don't need to be scolded by you, you damn rat! It took me a half hour to dial the freaking number; I don't exactly want to hang up on you right now! Tell everyone, I'm fine… for the most part."
"Where are you?" Yuki repeated still fuming.
"I have to go."
"Kyo? KYO!?"
"Kitty, don't play with the phone! –beep-" Yuki hung up the phone, confused. Who was that person on the other line?
"Was that Kyo?" Kagura asked getting dangerously close to him.
"Um, yea." Yuki said scratching his head.
"Well? What did he say?!" Kagura's voice was commanding and slightly pleading. To be honest Yuki was scared of her, everyone was, it was only a matter of time before she snapped.
"He, uh, he said he was fine." Yuki was still puzzled by Kyo's actions.
"That's all?" Kagura asked.
"That's all. He didn't say where he was or... or anything, but I don't think it's because he didn't want to... I think it was because he couldn't."
