Angel and Demon Kitty
By: Lady Danielle
A Brother Reunion
"I'm sorry about that." Kyoshiro nervously smiles up at Tohru, scratching the back of his head. "So, who are you?"
"I'm...I'm Tohru Honda, please to meet you."
"Oh, forgive my manners," he gets up and bow his head. "I'm Kyoshiro Sohma." he takes her hand and kiss the back of her palm. "Please to meet you, Tohru Honda. You must be the girl Akito was talking about."
Tohru blush.
"Shigure- sama was right, you are cute." he lets go of her hand and takes a step closely. "I won't be surprised a girl like you changing my brother."
"Oh, no!" she backs up nervously. "Not, really."
Kyoshiro stops and takes a step back. "I'm sorry, I've never spoken to another girl before besides my master and Rin-san. I'm sorry for getting too close." he backs up and sits on the bed.
"It-it's all right."
"So, how did I get here?"
"...Rin-san gave you to me."
"Rin, is she all right? She's not hurt is she? I tried to help her, but it seems she helped me instead." he looks down at his knees and shook his head. "But, why would she give me to you? If I'm caught here, I will lose my memory of my brother. I heard he was here and I was told to stay away from him."
"But, why? He's your brother?"
"Akito doesn't see Kyo as my brother. As twins, Kyo's the demon and I'm the angel. We belong to two different worlds."
"That's so sad. When was the last time you saw your brother?"
"I don't remember what age, around five or seven. It's been so many years since I've seen him." he gets up and looks at the window. "I know Rin was trying to do my soul a relief by bringing me here, but it's best if Kyo and I will never meet."
"Please, you should at lease see him for a brief moment, I'm sure he will be happy to see you." Tohru goes over to him and place a hand on his shoulder. "He went to go see Akito though. I'm sure he will be back soon."
Kyoshiro's looks outside and hears the waves. "Where near the ocean? I can hear the waves."
"Do you want to go down to the beach?"
"Too bad I can't swim though with this on." He looks at her bandage arm. "The ocean would be nice to feel against my skin."
......
Kyoshiro and Tohru sits in the sand and he watches her build a sand castle on her own. He smiles and looks at the ocean while holding a beach umbrella over him.
"It's a beautiful day to get in the water too." Kyoshiro smiles and looks at her. "I..."
"Tohru!" Kyo calls out for her from a distance.
Kyoshiro starts to shiver as he hears his brother's voice. Tohru gets up and walks over to Kyo,
"Kyo-kun, wh-what happened? Your back so early...maybe your not back? Did you forget something?" she steps foward and looks at his swollen cheek "Your cheek."
"Yeah, I kind of got into a fight." Kyo brushes his cheek.
"A-A-A fight with Akito?"
"Yeah, he said I didn't have to come back either. I guess I just don't care anymore."
"...?"
"Did you want me back?"
"NO! No, of course I do!" She takes a step back and looks at Kyoshiro hiding underneath the umbrella. "Besides, someone has been wanting to see you."
"Who?"
"Kyoshiro."
Kyoshiro stands up and looks at his brother. "Hello, big brother Kyo."
"Kyoshiro..." Kyo looks at Kyoshiro up and down then smiles. "Are you real?" he takes a step forward then hugs him tightly.
Bomb! Kyo and Kyoshiro transforms and falls on each other. Tohru looks at them in surprise and confuse, Kyo and Kyoshiro are boys. But, as she watch Kyo pounces on Kyoshiro and they roll over each other in the sand, and laughing and trying to hug each other.
"Your real!" Kyo rubs himself against Kyoshiro.
"Kyo, I'm so happy to see you. All these years."
"Your as puny and weak as ever." Kyo laughs hits Kyoshiro gently with his paw.
"Oh, come on. Stop picking on me! You always pick on me."
"Because your so small. And you're my little brother, It's my job to pick on you." he bit his ear.
"Come on, big brother. Stop it." he laughs.
.......
Akito finishes looking at the family and sent them back to the summer home. He goes to Kyoshiro and Kureno's room and finds only Kureno there instead. Akito holds the sliding door open and looks around the room for Kyoshiro.
"Where is Kyoshiro?" Akito sounds half angry and calm.
"He went out to the garden. He went to walk around and keep out o sight. He will be back soon."
"He better have not gone over there, with her." she growls. "If he seen his brother then he will pay."
'Kyoshiro, where are you?' Kureno thinks.
...
"Dad isn't in great shapes these days, but he's always been like that." Kyoshiro smiles while looking at Kyo. "How are you? I've heard your doing material arts."
"Yeah, Shishou took me in."
"So, he's a father figure to you."
"...Don't be stupid."
"Your so shy, Kyo." he laughs.
"Shut up, and where have you been for the last few years. I've came to see you, but...your weren't there."
"Where back!" Momiji opens the door with the rest behind him.
Kyo and Kyoshiro looks at them as Tohru gets up. They look back and forth at Kyoshiro and Kyo as they stay at the door. Kyo sighs, gets up, and looks at them.
"Hurry up and come in all ready." he pulls in Momiji. "And stop staring at him."
They came in and Kyo looks outside before closing the door and locking it. Kyoshiro gets up and looks at all of them. He could see their animal spirits.
"All of you are zodiac members." he smiles at them then bows. "Please to meet you all, I'm Kyoshiro Sohma. How do you do."
"Wow, you look like Kyo." Momiji steps in front of Kyoshiro.
"Where twins, Kyo's the oldest." Kyoshiro explains.
"Your hair is white." Hiro steps closer.
"We haven't seen you before." Haru explains. "Where did you come from?"
"Ok! Back up all of you. Leave my little brother alone." Kyo steps in between Kyoshiro and the others.
"Isn't it cute, Kyoshiro protecting his little brother." Yuki teases Kyo.
"Shut up!" Kyo blushes and takes Kyoshiro by the arm.
"There he goes again, your always hiding your feelings by acting tough."
"Shut up you." he puts him in a head lock.
"I give! I give!" Kyoshiro grabs on to Kyo's arm.
"Your as weak as ever."
"Don't tease me, big brother." Kyoshiro pulls away and looks at Kyo.
Tohru laughs and looks at the others. "We need to keep this a secret. If anyone besides us know Kyoshiro is here, he might get his memory erased. Akito threatened to do it if he ever found out."
"I...I should be heading back anyway. It's dark all ready, and Akito gets worried when I'm not there." Kyoshiro explains with a sad face.
"Oh no, don't leave just yet. I have bottle rockets and stuff to end our last night together with a bang!" Momiji explains.
"I don't want Akito being upset. I've been gone for so long too." Kyoshiro starts to shake.
"Kyoshiro, come here. I need to talk to you." Kyo takes his brother away from the others.
They went down the hallway's and turns to get as far away from the others. Kyoshiro and Kyo are quiet the whole time until they stop.
"What's the matter, Kyo?" Kyoshiro asks him.
"Your bandage on your arm."
"What...what about it?" Kyoshiro holds his arm and tries to hide it away from Kyo.
"I see..." Kyo looks at Kyoshiro with serious eyes. "You've been cutting yourself again. Hatori told me you been doing that a lot...because of me."
Kyoshiro leans on the wall and looks down, trying not to look at Kyo. "I..."
"Let me change the bandage. You have sand in it." he takes Kyoshiro's arm and takes him to the bathroom.
"Your upset aren't you?" Kyoshiro starts to tear.
"Of course I am, why are you being so stupid?" he yells at him.
"It's because of our blood that we can't be together. I wish...I wish I could be with you. Kyo, big brother, I've miss you so much. I keep having dreams about you...about us." he starts crying. "So, if I wasn't what I am and you like your are...maybe things would be different. I hate myself, my blood, my body, and my other form because I can't be near you."
Kyo bits down on his lip and tears starts to form in his eyes. He hugs his brother and this time they didn't transform; it happens when it wants to.
"Kyoshiro, stop doing this to yourself. I don't want you to get hurt. I want you to live as long as you can. A long and healthy life. I obey by the rules so I can see you again. Your excepted by the family, your excepted and you have the opportunity to be with them. As long as your safe, I don't care what happens to me. As long as my little brother is all right. Knowing you were still alive keeps me going on. Kyoshiro, I need you to be strong for both of us. Because some day, we will be together."
Kyoshiro grips Kyo and cry harder. "Don't! Don't lie to me! I know Akito has in plan for you. Keeping you in that room. I can't...I can't let you die because...you're my brother!"
"Kyoshiro, I love you."
"I love you too."
They stay like that for a while until Kyoshiro starts to stumble. Kyo holds him up and carry him. "Kyoshiro, are you all right?"
"I'm...just... tired."
"Go to sleep then, rest."
"Im not that tired. I'm willing to do fireworks with you all." he clears his face.
"Just don't pass out on me." Kyo clears his face as well. "Come on."
....
Shigure and Akito stays at the window while Akito becomes angry. It's been an hour since Kyoshiro left and it was raining. Shigure is trying to make things worse; like always.
"So why did you make Kureno and Kyoshiro come with you this time? I'm extremely curious. Let me guess, you can't let them out of your sight, lest others catch a glimpse of them. Am I right? But where is Kyoshiro? I hope he didn't find his way to his Kyo." Shigure tells her.
"He won't betray me like that. He's just..."
"He never left your side before, unless you tell him or forced. Or he must be under stress."
"Stress? From what? I should be the one stressed out. How you look at that woman." she becomes angry, getting up and looking at Shigure. She was about to hurt him before Kureno opens the door.
"Akito, a call from the main house. It's about Rin. She's around here and some people from the family saw her with a orange cat with a white tip tail was spotted near the other summer house."
Akito gets up and starts to growl loudly. "Kureno, were going to get Kyoshiro." The thought of Kyoshiro being with Tohru Honda. "That woman. That woman...!"
...
Momiji looks at the fireworks he brought then feels a bit sad when it started to rain. Kyoshiro and Kyo were going to the other summer house to drop Kyoshiro off. Yuki, Haru, kyoshiro, and Kyo were in the boys room. Kyo fell on the bed because of the rain while Kyoshiro is full of energy.
"Our always so dead when it rains." Kyoshiro laughs.
"It's not funny!" Kyo gets up then falls back on the bed.
"You two are so different. Aren't twins suppose to be the same?" Haru looks at Kyo and Kyoshiro.
"Well, we are in a way. I love the rain and feel very happy when it does. Kyo just tired through the whole thing." Kyoshiro smiles.
"PLEASE STOP!" Tohru voice comes from outside.
All of them go to the sliding door and looks between the curtain to see Akito, Kureno, Momiji bleeding, and Tohru between the three.
Kyo takes the door handle and starts to open the door, but Yuki and Haru stops him. Kyoshiro looks at Akito then at his brother.
"Where is Kyoshiro? I know he's here! You've been taking all of my animals." Akito yells.
"I better go." Kyoshiro spirit goes down.
"Kyoshiro?" Kyo growls at Kyoshiro. "I want..."
"I shouldn't have come here, its all my fault."
"I can protect you..." Kyo starts but Kyoshiro stops him.
"No, I didn't want people getting hurt because of me. I better go." he looks at Kyo and hugs him. "I love you, big bother. I hope to see you one more time before I die."
Kyoshiro transforms, but not Kyo. Kyoshiro starts to run out of the house and along the porch, the opposite way from Akito and Tohru. He is making sure Akito didn't see him coming out of the house. He went in the bushes then around to come from behind Kureno.
"Akito-Sama." Kyoshiro rubs against Akito's legs.
"Kyoshiro, where the hell have you been?" Akito kicks Kyoshiro aside and into the mud. Akito walks over to him then picks him up. "Making me worried like that. Now your fur is dirty. Where were you all this time?"
Kyoshiro transform back and stands on his own. He hugs Akito, naked, and kisses Akito on the lips.
Everyone watching is shock to see Akito, a boy, being kissed by a boy; they don't know Akito is a girl.
"I was lost so I was near the beach then I came here when I saw you coming." Kyoshiro traces his hand on Akito's lips. "I'm sorry I had you worried. I'll make it up to you." He hugs Akito and looks at Tohru with sad eyes. He mouths her, 'I'm sorry.'
"Who is this puny girl, Akito? She's so ugly."
"Oh, let me introduce you two." Akito holds on to him and looks at Tohru. "Tohru this is Kyoshiro, my guarding angel and Kureno is the rooster."
"Please to meet you." Kureno says.
"Good afternoon." Kyoshiro says.
"Eh...uh. Please to meet you both, too." Tohru says.
The rain stops raining.
