Author: Actually I have been reading over my old stuff that I've posted…and quite frankly a lot of it is crap. : P Well far from the ideal that I create within the confines of my scull. In my head ideas, thoughts, stories are constantly whirling through but they just don't translate from the worlds I've created to paper-em…computers?

Ha Ha anyway this story is probably the one I have put the most effort into. Anyway please enjoy what I've created, but I'd also appreciated criticism and more importantly ideas and thoughts: D Because I truly love to write, to create. In a way it's my passion you guys have no idea how many bits and pieces of books I'm writing are scattered over my computer.

Anyway here it is. Oh and P.S. in a way I'm trying to write in how I think the anime would portray my scenes so for those of you who have seen the anime or read the manga I'd like to know if you can picture what I'm writing as if it could happen. :D

Oh and sometimes I accidentally wrote Kira instead of Kisa I tried to fix them all but I don't know if I caught all of the errors.

Kyo was poised over the stream, his claws tensed and ready, red eyes flickered back and forth over the waters rushing surface "closer, closer" Kyo hissed. Just a moment later Kyo struck, plunging his hand into the water he sank his claws into the slippery body. "Caught ya fishy" Kyo eyed his prize hungrily "That was incredible!" A small voice piped up off to Kyos right.

Startled the cat dropped the injured fish into the water and it was gone before he could blink. "What the," Turning to his right Kyo was faced with a pair of large brown eyes, "hi!" Startled Kyo scrambled backwards and lost his balance. Kyo found himself very cold and very wet. "Mr. Spirit are you ok?" Kyo looked up from where he had landed in the river, "A human girl?" The girl herself waved happily at Kyo, she looked to be about six or seven summers.

"Cat! What happened I heard a splash and-" rat had come running up the bank his long sleeves tied back so he could catch fish, but Rat had paused some feet away and was now staring at the human girl who was staring back. Looking between Kyo and Rat she looked curious but not in the least afraid. Hissing at having gotten wet, which in Kyos mind was about the evilest thing that could happen- Kyo stood up, his aura flashing crankily, "Do you have any idea who I am?" Kyo hissed.

The girl beamed "you're an earth spirit!" Kyo turned to look at rat, 'well that was unexpected' Rats eyes said clearly. "My momma says that we have to honor the earth spirits cause they are children of the earth and of gods and they keep the life cycle going!" The little girl looked proud she had remembered all that. "I see," Rat said uncomfortably "And how did you know we are spirits? We are wearing human forms." Rats asked carefully.

The child stepped back and studied them "You don't look like any humans I've ever seen." The two spirits sweat dropped. "What are you doing this far from the human village girl?" Kyo asked as he climbed onto the streambed "My brother's looking for me!" When both spirits stared at her she explained "so I'm hiding," Rat chuckled, "I see well what's your name?" The girl beamed, "I'm Maisuki Sohma! From the Sohma clan!" Kyo sighed "Nice to meet you Maisuki Sohma from the Sohma clan, now go away." Maisuki pouted and Rat laughed.

Kyo floated in-between sleep and consciousness; he was unhappily becoming more aware of his own body and of noises that seemed determined to yank him into the world of the living. Mumbling incoherently a red head pulled the covers up over his ears.

"Kyo" (Poke)

It was actually easy to ignore the voice and the finger that jabbed into his back and Kyo felt the warm tingling heaviness that comes with sleep.

"Kyo" (Poke)

Now annoyance was breaking through the fog, figuring hat the chances of getting any more sleep where slim Kyo sat up, his head popping out of the blankets. "What!" He demanded. Kyo looked up crabbily and saw the one thing in the world that would make him happy. "Kyo we have a problem." Kyo wasn't concerned as he gazed up easily at Yuki.

Yuki seemed to recognize something in Kyos eyes because he tensed but it was too late, Kyos arm shot out and latched onto Yuki's arm. A firm yank sent Yuki tumbling onto the bed and Kyo rolled with Yuki's momentum leaving Yuki sprawled on the bed with Kyo kneeling above him 'Rat!' "Kyo I thought you where back to normal, we don't have time for- Ah!"

Kyo's wandering hand slid smoothly under the soft cotton of Yukis purple shirt. Humming absently, Kyos calloused hands rubbed soothing circles into the firm skin of Yukis stomach. Yuki was looking up at Kyo and he seemed somewhat unnerved, but Kyo wasn't worried. Yuki just needed some prompting.

Kyo bent his head and buried it into the curve of Yuki's neck, the skin was warm and smooth and he could feel Yuki's heartbeat. Never had Kyo felt this content, to some level he was always on guard but now-…now Kyo felt like he could melt into Yuki, become one with him. Kyo turned his head and gently extended his tongue beyond his fangs, with a small paused he traced it down Yukis neck. "Ah!" Yuki cried out startled, a shiver at the wet traced the Rat Zodiacs body.

"Whoa -Whoa seriously Kyo-!" Kyo pressed a loving kiss into Yuki's jaw, being close to Yuki, touching him, knowing that he was right here was good. In all meanings of the word Kyo was good…but he could be better. "Idiot if you don't get the hell off of me-Unnn!" Yuki's breath rushed out of him as Kyo's thigh slid in-between his legs and gently began to move in small gentle up and down movements. The hand under Yuki's shirt slipped up, Kyos fingertips tracing the warmth that could only be a living person.

Kyo felt like he never wanted to be anywhere else but he felt a twinge of confusion that Yuki was still tense, Biting Yukis neck Kyo frowned when Yukis arms wrapped around himself, unsure Kyo licked the bite in apology, nuzzling under Yuki's ear. Kyo beamed when Yuki's body shivered at this.

Pulling up Kyo just looked at Yuki, smiling down at him. Yuki's eyes looked like they where fighting between going dazed or getting panicky, Kyo made the choice for Yuki, after all Yuki was born to be with Kyo he needed Kyo just as much as Kyo absolutely needed Yuki to be with him, Yuki just didn't know it.

Hanging in the air between then was the urge to act. To move to do something, Kyo knew perfectly well what that was, Yuki was just having some trouble Kyo decided and Kyo figured he had to help him. Yukis eyes dazed over, as Kyos hand slid up his chest and came through the top so he could cup Yukis cheek, Kyo was purring and he ran his tongue over Yukis cheek in a familiar gesture, almost like a cat greeting another cat.

Kyo however was feeling the tension curl inside him like coils of deep energy waiting so Kyo did what came to him without thought and he lay on top of Yuki, combining their body warmth and then Kyo claimed his prize. With no warning at all Kyo leaned forward and slid his tongue into Yukis mouth. He ached to taste and touch and knowing that the one he was entangling himself with was Yuki was almost too much to bare and his heart stuttered painfully.

The sound of Yuki almost gasping for breath through his nose mingled nicely with Kyos hums of pleasure as tongues slid and melted. Kyo pulled back, aching for that endless violet gaze but paused when he saw Yukis expression, Yuki looked like he was in-between giving in completely and saying something…important. Kyo scowled, why was Yuki paying attention to anything but him? It wasn't fair!" Kyo leaned forward moving his body but Yuki it seemed had come to a conclusion.

"Kisa's lost again," Kyos mind cleared with one shot of reality. "Erm-" 'Hand up shirt- on top of him…leg in-between…oh shit.' Kyos thoughts scrambled. Startled Kyo flung himself backwards, his heart skipping a beat and he overshot the bead and had that second of falling before landing on the ground, "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Kyo wailed. "Got control of your self idiot?" Yuki was as calm and matter-of-fact as always.

Yuki's face had red spread across his face but Kyos whole body beat out his hair as red on the color wheel. "Um I-and…that was" Kyo stuttered. Yuki just stared at him with a "well duh" expression. "But you-wait." A flash of comprehension flared through red eyes, "Kisa?" Yuki's face went serious, "Her mother called to say she hadn't seen her in about two days." Kyo sat straight but his hair rising like a hissing cat.

"TWO DAYS! What the hell! Why did she wait do god-damn long?" Furious Kyo was on his feet. "Haru has been looking for her and Hiro has checked out all her favorite spots but we haven't seen her. The small quiet girl with large eyes on her own seemed very dangerous, "we have to do something," Kyo snapped at Yuki "Quit standing around!" Kyo was out of the room quickly and Yuki just stared at the door from his position on the bed. "Selective memory loss?" Yuki asked the room.

"Kyo!" The teenager waved a greeting to Momiji and Tohru who where sitting at the table. Momiji looked upset and Tohru had tears in her eyes. "Kyo, Kisa she-" Kyo nodded "I know Yuki told me." Kyo said. He plopped down next to Momiji and ruffled the boy's hair as an extra greeting, Momiji offered a smile but his face turned serious in a way that most kids his age never had to.

"What are we going to do?" Tohru asked worriedly as her hands picked nervously on the edge of her skirt, "well we can't just leave this to Haru and Hiro!" Kyo said firmly, his red eyes narrowed in thought. "And where the hell is Shigure?" Tohru sighed. "He went with Hatori in the car to look around the neighborhoods."

Kyo nodded, 'damn we need to think' "Where would she go? Who would she go to if she wanted to get away?" Kyo asked under his breath his thoughts churning. A flash of realization seemed to hit Momiji the same time it hit Kyo, "Here, she would come here- right?" Momiji said through a breath of realization Kyo was on his feat quickly and intent look on his face. "Maybe she's somewhere around here?"

Momiji and Kyo met eyes and both nodded "Tohru we're going out." Tohru got to her feet too, "Let me come to look also!" The girl begged. Kyo hesitated, "Rather then that Kisa needs a warm welcome so just leave this to us," Kyo said apologetically. Tohru looked like she wanted to argue but after a moment she nodded, "Ok, do your best." She said with a half hearted smile but the boys where already gone.

Kyo wanted to rip through the forest in his search, never was Kyo more in his element then within the structure of trees but Momijis quiet and childish grasp on Kyo's shirt kept Kyo in check as he stayed beside the boy, "Kyo, lets look in the trees near the dirt road." Momiji said softly. Kyo realized that maybe he shouldn't have brought Momiji with him.

The boy was looking more and more distressed, and as the moments passed by his eyes got more and more distant. 'I shouldn't have put him in a high stress environment in his condition' Kyo thought quietly. He considered insisting they turn around but he doubted that Momiji would accept that. 'What's with this girl and running off?' Kyo thought darkly, but the worry for the small fragile girl was ever present.

Kyo and Momiji followed the worn dirt path but branched off to where the road met the forest. It was more likely that if she had come this way she would have followed through the less steep areas. Momiji almost lost his balance as they headed into tangles of wood and Kyo steadied both of them against a large tree. "Damn," A flash a pain darted across Kyo's chest, giving him a dark reminder of his fit last night and the bruises that came with.

"Kyo?" Momijis hand tightened on Kyos shirt and large brown eyes looked up at him questioningly, "Any more of those puppy eyes and you'll never convince me that you're male." Kyo said with a grin of reassurance. Momijis hand just got tighter. "Do you think she left cause her mom didn't want her anymore?" Momiji had tilted his head down.

"Kyo hesitated eyeing the forest but it seemed that this couldn't wait. Kneeling down Kyo ignored the bite of the un-even forest floor beneath him and he place his hands on Momijis shoulders, "Ah come on, don't let all sorts of dark thoughts bring ya down, I'm sure she's not doing anything drastic, she's just stupid." Kyo explained but he felt confusion when Momiji looked up at him half in thanks half in exasperation.

Shrugging Kyo stood up, resisting the urge to wince as his bruises tinged again. "I know your thinking that maybe she's feeling cold inside just like you have been, "Kyo said softly. Momiji didn't bother to deny it and Kyo wish again for the bright and obnoxious kid Momiji wanted to be, but the blond just stared at a spot in the forest. "But look at you, you're just fine and you have me don't you?" Kyo said softly. "I'm sure that Kisa just needs to know that people are there for her, because sometimes it can be easy to forget."

'I'm starting to sound like a T.V. mom or something' Kyo wailed inside his own head. 'No even worse I'm starting to sound like Tohru.' Kyo shuddered and looked down at Momiji who in turn just looked thoughtfully at the spot he had picked to stare at. "I bet if she had someone like you, like I do she'd feel better." Kyo paused, 'honestly this kid is going to be the death of me' Kyo thought but his chest tingled with warmth. It was nice to be needed,

"Well we won't know until we find her so lets get lookin." Kyo said loudly. The red head was about to take off in an effort to avoid Momijis eyes (cause emotions are girly) when the and that had probably permanently stretched his shirt, gave a tug. Kyo looked back at Momiji who for just a moment looked at him just like he was ok again, his face had a air headed beaming to it, like a little kid who is trying to be serious but it doesn't work cause they are too adorable, "Found her."

Kyo froze blankly and sweat dropped as he stared down at the boy, "what?" Momiji looked at him with a 'duh' expression, "I found her, she's over there." Momiji was pointing to the spot he had been staring at while Kyo had been talking to him, Looking closer Kyo could make out the form of a girl sitting against a tree a ways away.

"Kisa!" Kyo said, ignoring the relief he felt, "wait!" Kyo whirled on Momiji "You knew she was there for a while now haven't you?" Momiji just held up his hands in a 'what's your point' innocent matter, Kyo gave him a small reprimand whack on the head, even as Kyo took off for the small figure in the distance he felt a expanding bubble of relief and light happiness, Kisa was here and for a moment Momiji was acting like his old self.

"Hey KISA!" Kyo hollered. Startled the small figure flinched before turning around, Kisas wobbling chin and tear filled wide red eyes greeted Kyo. It took a moment before Kisa realized it was someone she knew and all of two seconds to launch herself at her cousins. Sobbing softly the little girl stuffed her face into Kyo's shirt, "I got lost" She sobbed in her soft voice.

"Kyo looked up at Momiji who was resting a comforting hand on Kisa shoulder, "I'll say you got lost," Kyo said unable to keep the scolding flatness out of his voice as he stood up. "Momiji keep and eye on her, I gotta call the others so they can call off the search, everyone's been looking for you, ya know." Kyo added with a pointed look at Kisa. She just buried her eyes into her fists.

Pulling out his phone and thinking it a good thing he always had it in his pocket Kyo went dialed Hatori's phone. Really it was the only number he had already in his phone because Hatori had put it there and told him to call if Yuki had an asthma attack during school.

Talking briefly with Hatori and ignoring the sounds of Shigure hollering in the background, wailing that he wanted to hear little Kisas voice; Kyo explained that he had found her and was going to take her back to the house. With a parting of "Find the stupid cow or he'll die somewhere" Kyo hung up and turned his attention back to Momiji and a still crying twelve year old.

"Kisa, its ok now." Momiji comforted his natural gentle aura at its best. "But I just wanted to see big sister." She said softly "Kisa is something wrong?" Momiji ventured "M-mama." Kisa's voice was so small Kyo almost didn't hear her. Momijis brown eyes looked sad. "You can tell me Kisa," He offered gently. "S-She won't even look at me!" The girl's shoulders shook. Kyo watched as Momijis eyes darkened in understanding. 'What a messed up bunch we are" Kyo thought as he watched two children deal with adult size problems.

"I didn't mean to worry everybody I just wanted…" Kisa trailed off into sobs, she really was small Kyo noticed. "It's ok, its ok." Momiji stroked her head, his kind face smiling, "I know, I know how it feels. My mama didn't want me." Momijis voice was soft and Kisa peered around a fist to look at him. "It's scary to be alone, to wonder if maybe you could do something better maybe she would love you." Momiji said softly, Kisa nodded as tears fell from her face.

"Big sister say's I'm cute but Mama doesn't look," Kisa said in a small voice, Momiji's eyes shook in sympathy, "I know, I was really sad for a long time," Momiji said his hand still smoothing her hair. "Sometimes I even thought it would be better if I had never been born. Sometimes I got angry at everyone, at me for not being good enough." Kisa's eyes still poured but she was looking at Momiji now, eyes wide. "And Tohru helped, it meant a lot that someone could like me no matter what." Kisa nodded a tiny nod.

"But I was still hurt, but then I found someone better," Kisa looked startled, "Better then big sister?" she asked timidly, "Momiji nodded, 'what are you doing?' Kyo thought worriedly, wondering if he should step in, "Yep, Kyo is there for me, talks to me and listens to me, and he's better then even Tohru because…he understands too." Kisas eyes widened in shock. "He does?" She said softly. "Yup he's the best in the whole world," Momiji offered.

"wow, better then Haru too?" she asked, Momiji nodded in confirmation, It occurred to Kyo that Momiji might be signing him up for something, also that Momiji really was relying on him right now, that thought worried Kyo but it didn't stop his heart from feeling…girly- warm and whatever.

Kyo had noticed that Kisa looked dirty and a little worse for wear, about to step in he froze with a 'huh?' expression as did Momiji as a rather loud gurgle emitted from Kisa's stomach. The little girl blushed and Kyo smiled, "Come on, let's take you home," Kyo said with a chuckle. Kisa looked at Kyo startled that he was right there and then her blush intensified, but she nodded and Kyo reached over to pick her up. Pausing before he actually grabbed her, Kyo offered a questioning look, but the time Kisa had been born Kyo had known better then to be around other zodiac much and he was already living with his master so they weren't all that close.

Kisa however was looking up at Kyo curiously, "She's to old to be carried Kyo." Momiji explained in a condensing tone. "oh," Kyo said awkwardly and was about to step back when to his surprise Kisa held out her hands timidly, after a moment Kyo smiled and turned around, kneeling down Kyo waited and Kisa got the hint and slowly got on Kyos back, getting a grip and standing up Kyo turned to Momiji and nodded, "Alright back home we go."

"KISAAAAAAAA" Whack! Kyo smacked Shigure across the head, "Will you shaddup already?" Kyo snapped Kisa just continued to eat the food Tohru was weighing down the table with. "She's fine so don't come bustin in here yellin," Kyo said crankily. He looked over at Kisa who while was eating slowly and in small bites, hadn't stopped eating for half an hour. 'She must have been really hungry, she was missing for two days after all' Kyo observed.

Kisa must have felt the weight of Kyos gaze because she looked up at him; there was an awkward pause before the girl held out her chopsticks in offering. Tohru had made Kisa's favorite which just happened to be leeks,… which Kisa was now offering Kyo. Kyo resisted the urge to fling himself away and he took in the appearance of the small worn girl with hurt eyes, 'oh shit, why me' Kyo cast a pleading glance over her head to Momiji who just shrugged in an 'I dunno' fashion.

Kyo had waited to long to react and Kisa looked like she might start crying 'oh come on I'm not rejecting you' Kyo though helplessly, it seemed however that he had no choice so instead of thinking about it longer Kyo, to everyone's shock leaned forward and took the bite, swallowing as fast he could. Kisa smiled her soft smile up at Kyo, and then went back to eating, everyone else looked with pity at a lifeless Kyo who was lying on the floor. 'nasty nasty nasty!'

"Kisa!" Momiji Tohru and Shigure looked up to where Hatori and brought those who had been looking for Kisa, Hasuharu padded in the room his face empty he padded over to Kisa and his expression never changing he hugged the girl and didn't let go, Kisa just kept eating until Hiro walked in. "Kisa, you ok?" Hiro demanded, his eyebrows creased, Kisa paused "I got lost, but Kyo and Momiji found me," she explained. "Well don't do it again!" Hiro yelled. Kisa looked like she got smaller, "sorry," Hiro hesitated, "Its ok, I was just worried and whatever." Kisa smiled at him and everyone pretended not to see him blush.

"Awwwww Hiro isn't that sweet Kisa still like's you." Almost everyone. "Shut up Shigure." Yuki had come into the room and was sitting down next to Tohru. "And Haru don't hold her so tight she'll die." Yuki added. Haru however was staring at Yuki, the cow zodiac sluggishly held out a finger. "Love…bite?" The whole room went quiet and turned to look at Yuki, there on his neck was a purplish oval.

Kyo felt embarrassment surge up inside him, he had almost been able to forget about this morning, Kyo bristled at Hatori and Shigures pointed stares in his direction. "It's nothing" Yuki said calmly and took a sip of the tea Tohru had gotten him. "I'm gonna take a bath!" Kyo said standing up abruptly, "I wanna come too, Kisa you'll be ok won't you?" Momiji hopped to his feet, eyes asking for permission. Kyo sighed but gave Momiji a nod, "You're looking good Momiji," Haru's monotone voice spoke dully.

Momiji turned around and he offered a small smile "yep," he agreed his voice was subdued. "Why are you bathing with the cat?" Hiro asked flippantly. Kyos hissed at him but Momiji just gave a small smile, "cause I want too, Kyo's fun." Momiji said. Kyo wanted to get the hell outta there, not liking this little family reunion. "I'm going- UMPH" Kyo found himself face down, Popping up Kyo's eyes gleamed, "Who the hell-" Kyo caught sight of his own pant leg, or rather the little hand that was grasping it.

"Kisa could it be you want to come with us?" Momiji asked. Kyo noticed that Momiji seemed to have decided he was Kisa's official care-taker or something. Kisa nodded and everyone dead-panned. "You can't you're a girl." Hartori said flatly. Kisa's grip on Kyo's leg tightened, she looked…like she was being rejected. 'Damn this kid's mother for rejecting her, the dumb bitch' Kyo cursed. 'And damn you Momiji for putting ideas in her head, Tohru would be much better at this then me'

Kisa's grip on Kyo's leg was almost painful, sitting up Kyo couldn't help but give the kid a grin. "Man with death grips like you and Momiji I almost want to take you out and teach you to fight, heck in a few years I bet you'd be amazing kid." Kyo kept his voice teasing but he couldn't stop the slight tone of admiration. Kyo looked over to Momiji and almost tried to back track.

Momijis eyes had lit up and where practically sparkling, heck the air around him was practically sparkling and Momiji was looking at Kyo intently, Kyo turned "Gack!" Kisa looked the same as Momiji, her cute face intent as her gaze gleamed. "Oh come on you two don't really want to learn do ya?" Kyo begged. "Yeah at least have Yuki show you some moves he's way better." Hiro chimed in condescendingly. Both children instantly latched onto Kyo.

Kyo hesitated, both kids had a rough time, and learning Martial Arts had helped Kyo a lot when he was little, it made it seem like someone cared enough to teach him and teaching them wasn't a bad idea but…'why me" Kyo wailed inside his mind, however-. Both children where looking up at Kyo with hope in their eyes, on one hand Kyo could always send them to his master to learn like everyone else had…on the other hand if Momiji or Kisa had wanted to learn from him they would have already gone to him. 'Dammit'

Kyo sighed he was perfectly aware of all the gazes upon him, Shigure and Hatori's prompting one, Tohru's encouraging one, Momiji and Kisa's pleading ones, Hiro's suspicious one, crankily Kyo flopped back down to look at the ceiling, looking over Kyo was surprised to catch Haru's gaze, he looked speculative. Kyo had never forgotten the way that that Haru had ditched him after picking up on the adult's attitude and Kyo leveled a dark look at him before looking once more at Momiji and Kisa.

"If you wanna learn I guess I could show you a few moves," Kyo mumbled. Kisa and Momiji smacked high-fives. "I guess," Kyo added stubbornly. "Anyway, I'm taking a bath." As both kids stood up to follow Kyo hesitated and then knelt down next to Kisa, cupping his hand he whispered in her ear. "You know I think that Tohru had really missed you, I think that if you came with me she would feel left out. Since you and I are already so…err close why don't give Tohru this time to fawn over you and ask her if she'll bathe with you huh?" Kisa looked surprised but then her face turned to childish determination "yes" she agreed.

Later as Kyo sat in the tub wondering how much more of this sitting in water non-sense he could take did Kyo finally have time to think about everything that was going on. With, Momiji and Kisa, and with the rather bizarre dreams he had been having and also with…nope that was everything. 'I can be in denial if I want to' "Hey Kyo," Momiji was propped up against the side of the tub looking at the red head. "Are you gonna take care of Kisa?"

Kyo snorted, "I dunno, I guess." Momiji looked down he seemed nervous, Kyo watched him questioningly. Sometimes it was hard to remember that Momiji was sixteen, "You umm you won't forget me will you Kyo?" Kyo smiled "not a chance" Momiji beamed and went back to playing with his rubber duck. 'come to think of it I don't know if I would have been willing to share master if it came up, like Momiji is trying to do with Kisa, but then I don't know if I'm the same to him as master was to me…but then I am teaching them to fight,' Kyo sweat dropped. 'I think I'm more of a brother figure anyway…what are brothers like anyway the only brothers I know is Ayame.' Kyo shuddered.

"You ok?" Momiji asked. Kyo sighed, "Yeah I'm fine, more importantly why don't you have any leg hair! Are you sixteen or not?" Kyo demanded, "Whaaaaaaaaaaa stop picking on meeeeee," Momiji replied with much thrashing. "Hey you're knocking out all the water!" Kyo snapped. Momiji settled down with dramatic sniffs. Kyo sighed "you know something Momiji, you are a lot stronger then you seem." Momiji looked up, "I don't know if you realize it but with a little help you are doing well, much better then I did." Kyo said thoughtfully.

And it was true, Momiji was already beginning to move on, he was still clearly co-dependant much like Kyo had been until…well like two years ago but Momiji had the oddest ability to hope for something better, which gave him the power to carry on, despite everything. Kyo leaned over and messed up Momijis hair, Momiji looked surprised for a second before his face gentled and he beamed up at Kyo.

"Now back to business" Kyo said firmly, "Do you shave?"

(Authors Note) Kira worked her way into the story because I kinda wanted to provide some structure for the characters that kinda got the short end of the stick in the anime.

1: I made the dreams 'dream Kyo' called Kyo because even though he is the cat as I'm sure you all figured out because it's from Kyos point of view.

2: I wonder if anyone caught the similarities between dream Kyo falling off the river bed and Kyo falling off the bed.
