Author's Intro:

I think that I finally know where this story is going. Finally.

Isn't that great? x)

I sometimes think that hates me. Why? Because it keeps sending me all these error messages! But then, eventually, they go away. But not after me turning into Mit-chan. Haha!

But it really seems pathetic…

This story is getting so long…!

"Get on with it!"

Tohru slowly opened her eyes.

This bed didn't feel like her own.

She looked up to the ceiling.

This wasn't her ceiling, either.

The Cat looked out of the window that was directly next to her bed. The sun was just coming up over the horizon.

How long had she slept?

She felt something on her head.

Bandages.

Tohru sat up. She tried to think back to the day before.

"I told you! I don't need you anymore! Go away!" this time, Tohru hit the boy. She ripped through his shirt, and inflicted three deep claw wounds. Kyo hit the ground hard, and narrowed his eyes at her.

And as Tohru kept remembering, a new scene from the day before flooded into her head.

"Don't listen to Akito! We all need you!"

She gripped the sheets of the bed she was laying on.

"You don't even deserve to be near the others….your filthy shamelessness is enough to make me gag,"

"YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO LIVE!"

Her palms were sweating. The Cat had been scarred by his words. They wouldn't leave her.

Tohru looked down at her white and red bracelet that either Kyo or Hatori had place on her wrist.

"Tohru, I'm not leaving without you. I don't care if you're going away soon. I don't care if you may hurt me. I just want…I-I want to see you again,"

"T-Tohru, I-I l-lo—"

The Cat's eyes became wide.

Was he going to say what she thought that he was?

She blushed, and attempted to get off of the bed to observe the room around her, but she found that her legs were sore. Even so, Tohru managed to stand.

She found that she appeared to be in the Main House.

She looked down. A comfortable yukata with pretty stitched flowers over a black background covered her chest to her toes. Underneath were a couple of small bandages over cuts that she didn't know that she had gotten.

"Tohru-kun, it's time for your checkup…are you awake?" a voice spoke from behind her door.

"Ah, yes! Um...come in!" she called back, as Hatori came into her room.

"You should be resting."

"I'm sorry. I feel fine, though," Tohru stated happily, right before a headache hit her.

"Just lay back down. I just want to make sure that the bandages are holding up okay. I may want to change the one on your head, though."

"O-okay."

There was a short silence.

"Hatori-san?"

"Yes?"

"Ah, um….never mind."

Hatori looked at her for a moment. There must have been so many things on her mind…

But the doctor simply finished his work, stood up, and walked out of the door, hearing her call out a "Thank you!" right before he left.

The Dragon smiled at how strong she was.

Kyo Sohma was pacing the kitchen, muttering to himself, while Shigure watched, amused at how much things were bothering him.

"You know, Kyo-kun, if you really want to see her that bad, then you should just go to the Main House and visit her," he stated, seeing what the boy's reaction would be. "Yuki will probably go. It would be a shame if you, of all people, were too scared to go.."

"Shut up!" Kyo yelled, and then ran up the stairs and slammed the door to his room.

"Don't you think that you're being a bit hard on him?" Yuki asked, walking into the room. "I'm not sure that Akito would even allow him in the building."

"I know. And I think he already knows that. It just bothers me when he's like this."

Kyo, instead of staying in his room, ran up to the roof to think.

He knew that he should go visit her, and he damn wished he could.

But he'd have to sneak in. And how would Tohru feel? Would she still be unconscious?

And yet, he knew he would be bothered until he went to see her.

Kyo jumped from the roof, having made a quick decision to go and visit the Cat.

He feared that if he thought about it, he would change his mind and be too afraid to go. So the boy just kept his feet moving towards his destination.

"Tohru-san…Akito-san wants to see you," a maid called, opening the door to the Cat's room just a crack. "I don't want to keep him waiting, so.." she continued, a little more impatiently that time.

"Ah, yes! I-I'm coming!" Tohru nervously yelled back, rushing out of her room and almost ramming into the elder lady. "I'm so-rry!"

'I wonder if the maids of the Sohma Main House know about the Curse?' Tohru wondered with idle curiosity as she followed the woman to Akito's chambers.

Tohru looked around. The building was so huge…! And, yet, as they neared Akito's room, it seemed to have a depressing shadow to it. The Cat decided that the feeling was unnerving, and she shuddered.

Yuki thought about trying to go and visit Tohru. He almost got out of the house to leave. But….all of the sudden….something changed in him. It was like his will to go see her was lost.

So he went outside, all the way to his Secret Base.

The Rat stared at the plants that were waiting to sprout. Why, all of the sudden, was he not interested in seeing Tohru?

She was the Cat, but….he thought that that wouldn't change anything.

Maybe it was part of the Curse.

But she didn't seem to hate him.

But Yuki looked back on the night before.

She had run away from him. He had hurt her.

She had changed into the True Form, it seemed, just to get away from him.

He looked sadly to the strawberries, remembering how much she had loved their sweetness.

The Rat, devastated, buried his face into his hands.

Author's Closing:

I'm sooo sorry Yuki Sohma fans of any kind!

But I was thinking about how Yuki and Kyo were enemies because of the Rat and Cat thing, so I was thinking about what the affect on Tohru and Yuki would be if Tohru was now the Cat.

And what will happen with Kyo and Yuki?

Who knows!

Hope ya enjoyed it.
