Author's Note: HAHAHA! My writer's block has been overcome! It only took a very long time.

"Hey, Kyo!"

"Humph. Hi." Kyo answered, looking up from his cooking briefly at Tohru. He looked back down to his rice balls, trying very hard to concentrate on them with her in the room. Tohru wandered to his side, picking up one and taking a bite out of it.

"Excellent!"

"Hey, I wasn't done with that!" Kyo narrowed his eyes, then hastily apologized as her face became crestfallen. "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay, I should have asked first." Tohru smiled, putting her hand behind her back. Tohru watched as Kyo returned to his work, she sighed and turned, shuffling from the kitchen. "Oh, Kyo, Happy Birthday..." She whispered, placing a small gift on the table.

Holy shit, it felt like he had been hit by a train... Kyo opened his eyes a little, trying to sit up. He sucked in a breath and fell back down, an incredible pain in his shoulder. He lifted his arm and set his hand where the pain was, lifting his hand away again. Blood.

"Shit..." He muttered, turning his head to the side. No one in the alleyway. What time was it? It smelled like morning, so it must be close to sunrise. What the hell happened to him anyway? Well, obviously he was shot, but...

"Sir, sir?!" He heard a female call, then heard her footsteps running towards him. He opened his eyes and saw her leaning over him. He opened his eyes wider. She was beautiful. Well, from he could tell. Bright blue eyes and blond hair, she looked like an angel. Obviously, he had gone to heaven.

Okay, someone was poking him. He didn't like it. He lifted an arm and attempted to bat the person away, but failed and had his arm pushed back down.

"Stay still, Kyo." The voice sounded vaugley familiar.

"How is he?!"

"He's fine, stop yelling."

"Who said I was yelling?!"

"I am, now shut up."

Kyo groaned. Definitely Hatori and Shigure. He felt something go into his arm and he opened his eyes a sliver. He saw Hatori looming over him and let out a grunt.

"Well, hello to you too." Hatori replied, fetching some instrument.

"Where am I?"

"At home, where else?"

"Dad." Kyo heard Marleo somewhere to his left.

"Marleo, come here..." Kyo whispered, turning his head towards the boy. He reached his hand out and patted the boy's head, then lapsed into unconsciousness.

"He's sleeping again." Hatori stated, covering Kyo up.

"Poor guy. Thank you for finding him, miss." Shigure said, turning to the blond woman. "Is there anything at all we can do for you?"

"Please, just give him my number." The lady smiled and handed Shigure a card. "My name is Jezebel Morita."

"Mm, well, thank you." Shigure grinned, slinking up to her side. "So, how are you?"

"Gure..."

A few weeks later...

"Thanks a lot for the coffee." Jezebel smiled at Kyo sweetly, who smiled slightly back.

"No problem." Kyo said. He and Jezebel had been going on dates for about a week now, and so far, he liked her. It wasn't like Tohru was coming back or anything. "Come on, we can go to my place and chill." He said, taking her hand and leading her to his car.

They arrived at Tohru's home, also his home, and walked inside. "Home sweet home."

"Cute!" Jezebel squeaked, looking around. She wandered into the living room and sat down on the couch, Kyo sitting beside her. "Your home is lovely."

"Thanks." Kyo grinned and put an arm around her.

Meanwhile, Yuki stood in the doorway and watched them. Why was Kyo acting so unlike himself? And he damn well knew this wasn't his house. It was Tohru's. And how the hell could he bring another girl here? He watched as Kyo turned on the TV and Jezebel snuggled up to him. It was disgusting. She was so... high maintenance. Not that it was bad, she just seemed so... cheerleader type. He shook his head as he watched them kiss.

"I'm home!" Tohru burst through the doorway and ran into the living room as Kyo and Jezebel's lips touched.

Yes, the writer's block ended. And this chapter had to be short. The suspense was just right.
