"Tohru didnt you say you wished you could be a cat?"

Hatori, Kyo and Shigure all stared at the little cat on the floor. It was Hatori who moved first, carefully he scooped the cat up from the floor and placed it on the examining table.
"Kyo…" Hatori said "Kyo" Hatori repeated but Kyo was staring at the cat on the table. "Kyo" Hatori repeated. "KYO!" Shigure shouted. Kyo blinked several times in shock.
"Hatori?" he asked questioningly. As he looked to the doctor he was doubly shocked, for his face clearly showed troubled thoughts and concern.

"Kyo go into the next room" Hatori said
"WHAT!" Kyo demanded
"Now!" Hatori ordered his voice usually so calm now so stern. Kyo went into the next room slamming and cursing loudly.
"Hatori?" this time it was Shigure's voice that was questioning.
"Shigure, I don't know before you ask" Hatori replied.
"Hatori we have to tell the others…." Shigure began but Hatori cut in.
"No! No we don't that's exactly what we shouldn't do" Hatori told him "Kyo's the only one who can know about this and us. Nothing must seem to have changed"
"Yuki"
"Not even Yuki Shigure or Ayame, no-one" Hatori repeated.

There was a loud puff behind them and without looking Hatori threw a blanket to Tohru. There was a rustle and Hatori turned around. Tohru was sat on the bed the blanket firmly around her. She was clutching her hair and staring into space. "What's happened to me?" she whispered her voice full of pain.
"Tohru…" Shigure inched closer.
"How are you feeling?" Hatori asked his professional manner back on.

"Tohru ah…I don't know what to say. I am so sorry. I…I…" Shigure began but then he collapsed to the floor his shoulders shaking. His teeth gritted and his eyes closed to stop the tears. Hatori didn't say anything he himself was on the verge of collapse. Hatori's eyes were closed too. No one saw or heard Tohru move. "I should never have…you shouldn't have had to go through this. You shouldn't have….you…I…" Shigure sobbed still. Both men thought and knew that Tohru should never have got involved.

Tohru moved silently to stand beside the crouching Shigure. Shigure felt a warm hand touch him on the shoulder. "Don't, please Shigure" Tohru said softly. "Don't blame yourself, its not your fault…" Shigure stopped crying, he was still shaking thought. After all that had happened Tohru was still trying to comfort others.
"Its Ok, its ok Shigure" Tohru soothed. Hatori opened his eyes. Looking to the girl comforting others, putting others before herself. "I would never ever want to change any of my time with the Soma's I love you all so much. I would never want to forget any of you. You have become my family Shigure and I love you all" she said softly her hand still resting on Shigure's shoulder. Shigure looked at her and she was smiling, his Tohru was still smiling.

"…you'll be fine"

"So you have to promise not to tell anyone, not even Yuki that Tohru is cursed" Hatori repeated to Kyo. Kyo nodded and looked at his own hands and the beads that were on his wrist. Cautiously he took them off. Nothing happened except a sharp pain ran through his heart.
"Argh!" he gasped
"What's wrong?" Hatori asked
"I dunno I took my beads off and a pain ran through me" Kyo muttered.
"I'd put them back on then" Hatori said his cold demeanour now back in place. "Tohru could you come in here a moment please?" Hatori asked opening the door sharply. Shigure fell through the door and looked up with a guilty look on his face.
"Ha ha ha ha" he laughed nervously.
"Whats wrong?" Tohru asked.
"Nothing, would you close the door after you?" Hatori asked as Tohru stepped into the room. There was an 'awwww' from behind the door as Shigure was locked behind it.

"I think we need to do a test" Hatori said looking at his sheets of papers.
"A…a…test?" Tohru stammered.
"Oh its nothing to be worried about. I just want to see if the full curse of the cat has been transferred to you." Hatori said
"hello did you not just see what happened out there?" Kyo said heatedly.
"yes, I also saw what happened in here. You still cannot take your beads off, Tohru transformed when you two got close but then she was under a lot of stress when it happened." Hatori told them putting his papers down and spinning the chair around so he faced them.
"You don't mind do you Tohru?" Shigure said from behind the door. Kyo kicked it sharply.
"Lets just get this over with I wanna leave now!" Kyo said sharply.
"Oh I'm sorry!" Tohru exclaimed
"Tohru!" Kyo warned
"Oh I…Im…I forgot, Im….sorry" she said nervously and Kyo rolled his eyes. Kyo walked over to Tohru and then looked back to Hatori as if to say 'do we have to' the doctor nodded. Kyo looked back to Tohru again and placed one hand on her arm and the other around her back before pulling her towards him. If Tohru didn't know any better she would say that Kyo looked nervous, Kyo nervous? She must be mistaken.

Then she was leaning against him her had resting against his chest, but it only lasted a moment before Kyo was pulling sharply away. "Happy now?" he asked.
"Yes, I am" The dragon almost smiled.
"Come on lets get going!" Kyo growled and stormed from the room almost knocking Shigure over on the way out.
"Kyo…" Tohru shook her head. "Um, is it ok…" she began
"You can leave" Hatori said. Tohru bowed and ran to the door. "Um Hatori, thank you" she said and left. Hatori looked at the closed door grimly and wondered, not for the first time, what type of family he had.

"Where's that stupid cat?" Yuki asked. Tohru inwardly grimaced,
"Oh you mean Kyo?" Shigure asked knowing full well who Yuki meant. "He's sulking, on the roof as usual" Shigure hid himself behind his paper again. Yuki, Shigure and Kyo had made Tohru order out because it was late and she needed rest. "he hasn't eaten yet" Tohru muttered. A strong feeling of de ja vu swept over her as she remembered when Kagura had almost blown up the kitchen. The kitchen had bene so mucky they couldn't cook so Shigure had ordered out, Kyo had been up on the roof that time too.
"I wonder whats up with him now" Yuki said loathingly. "Stupid cat"

Tohru quietly left the room and upstairs into her bedroom, where immediately she slid open the doors and went up the ladder to the roof.
"Kyo?" she asked and watched as he jumped about five foot in the air. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you, I always do that." she muttered. Kyo didn't say anything. "Kyo are you alright?" she asked
"Huh?" he scowled

"Are you…" she began
"No I heard you the first time!" he snapped. "I'm sorry. Its just how can you be asking me if I'm alright" he shook his head. "Dammit Tohru!" he punched the roof and a few tiles fell off. "Oh Kyo" she muttered going to sit next to him. "I'm fine honestly"
"No your not, how can you be!" he hung his head. "Your cursed Tohru don't you get it?" he asked. Kyo was really astounded.
"Kyo I know that. I'm happy really. I mean at least your free now Kyo. You always wanted to be normal. Well now you are. Im so happy because of that. Now at least you wont have to fight Yuki anymore. At least you can live a normal life." she told him gently.
"But you wont!" Kyo suddenly sprang up "Tohru there has to be a final fight between the cat and the rat. You don't get it!" Kyo knelt down next to her again. "Tohru, you don't understand you will have to fight that damn rat!" Kyo told her and he saw her eyes widen fractionally. He crouched again and grabbed her upper arms gently. The touch sending a tingling sensation through Tohru.

"Oh…I never…" she began and shook her head. "it doesn't matter. I'll do anything"
"No Tohru, I want you to tell me now. What happened at the banquet. You are not going to stay like this. This is my curse, Its not fair you shouldn't have to handle this shit! This is why I promise you now that you will not stay this way forever" he shook her a little.
"But… why? Your throwing away your freedom Kyo"
"Because…because I…I…" he stuttered a red tint rose to his cheeks. Should he tell her? Or just show her?

The two leaned in closer Kyo's cheeks were now a burning red colour, again Tohru sensed he was nervous. Kyo could see his reflection in her gorgeous eyes that were so innocent, so beautiful he wanted to get lost in them, they were centimetres away. That was when Tohru's eyes fluttered and closed and she fell forwards her head on Kyo's shoulder. Kyo sighed and lifted her up, with difficulty he climbed down the ladder and placed Tohru on her bed. Kyo could tell she was tired, and cold. She always came up to the roof with hardly anything on. Kyo hesitated before brushing a strand of hair from her face. Then silently he locked her balcony window and crept out of the bedroom. Closing the door softly behind him.

"I'm sorry" he whispered. Then he himself went to bed forming a plan for he knew instantly who would be such an evil bastard. "Akito" he growled before falling to sleep registering dimly that some weight had been lifted from his soul.
