I'm glad everyone liked the story. This one doesn't have Family Guy in it. It's Ayame though, so enjoy!
Kyo burst through the door of Shigure's home. He ran around trying to find everyone. He saw them all sitting in a room watching TV. Hatori was with them. Good. He needed to hear this. Kyo stumbled in front of the TV and shut it off.
"We were kinda watching that." Yuki said.
"Listen to me. Ayame is a snake!" Kyo cried.
Everyone was silent. They looked at Kyo like he was crazy.
"Well...who would have guessed? Our good friend, Aaya, is a snake. I thought he was a rat." Shigure said.
Yuki rolled his eyes at the joke. Kyo shook his head and gave an aggravated yell. "No, no! He is a real snake! Listen! I was walking down the street and I saw him. I turned away so I wouldn't have to deal with him but he saw me and started to talk to me!"
"What does that have to do with Ayame's zodiac?" Hatori asked.
"I'm getting to that!" Kyo yelled. Then he continued. "Anyway, he was annoying the hell out of me so I tried to punch him to make him shut up and he dodged it! But he didn't dodge it like a normal person would. He like...moved like a snake. He slithered out of the way..."
Hatori and Shigure looked at each other then laughed. They looked back at Kyo with grins. Hatori spoke. "You kids aren't the only ones who know how to fight. When we were kids Shigure, Ayame, and I were taught to fight. Ayame put a little bit of his zodiac in his fighting style. He used his flexibility to his advantage."
"You guys fought?" Yuki asked.
"Oh, yes." Shigure said. "And Ayame was easily the best fighter. He moved like a belly dancer...or how Kyo puts it, a snake. He's really hard to beat cause he dodges moves so easily."
"That's amazing." Tohru said.
"But that's not all!" Kyo said.
"Kyo, what are you trying to prove?" Hatori asked.
"He bit me!" Kyo yelled.
Once again, there was an awkward silence. Shigure stared at Kyo. "He...bit you?"
Kyo nodded. "He has retractable fangs! Like a, what else, snake! And he's poisonous! Look at this!" Kyo held out his arm and everyone saw there was a huge bump. It was swelling really badly. Hatori grabbed his arm and looked at it.
"Let me treat this!" he said.
Kyo took his arm back and shook his head. "You're missing the point! Ayame is a snake! He moves like one when he's not in snake form, he has retractable fangs, and when I looked at his eyes they were slits! And, here's the icing on the cake, he has a forked tongue!"
Once again...awkward silence.
"Ayame does not have a forked tongue." Shigure said.
"How do you know?" Kyo yelled.
Shigure giggled and covered his face with his fan. Hatori rolled his eyes.
"That's gross." Yuki said.
"They never get tired of it." Hatori said.
Tohru just gave a small smile. Kyo was getting even more aggravated. He scratched his arm where he claimed Ayame bit him. Maybe he should let Hatori look at it. After all if he was poisoned...and who knew what kind of snake Ayame was. He could be deadly. And then...Kyo's nightmare was back. Ayame ran into the room and ran straight to Kyo. Kyo yelled and hid behind Yuki. Ayame would never hurt his younger brother.
"Go away." Yuki said to both Kyo and Ayame.
"Aaya, what brings you here?" Shigure asked.
"Well, I saw Kyo in street and was talking to him when suddenly this big ugly spider jumped on his arm and bit him! I shooed it away but then Kyo started acting every weird. He thought I had bit him and poisoned him with my snake poison. I don't think I'm poisonous. Am I, Hatori?" He looked towards his friend and asked.
"No, Ayame, you are not poisonous." Hatori said.
"Check him! I promise he's a snake! A real one!" Kyo yelled from behind the rat.
Hatori stood up and cupped Ayame's face in his hands. "Your eyes are not slits." he said looking into them.
"Of course not." Ayame said.
Hatori shook his head. "It still baffles me how you are able to see without any pupils."
Ayame just gave him a huge smile. When he did Hatori looked at his teeth. He had regular teeth, like any normal human. There were no retractable fangs. "You have no retractable fangs." Hatori said.
"Nope. Just regular, shiny teeth!" Ayame said.
"That's not true!" Kyo yelled.
"Stick your tongue out, Ayame." Hatori ordered.
Ayame, who always listened to Hatori, did as he was asked. He had a normal human tongue. "And your tongue is not forked." Hatori concluded.
"Not at all." Ayame asked. "You could have asked Shigure about that." Ayame winked at the dog, who winked back. Then they both started to laugh.
"No! Stop laughing!" Kyo said. "I promise you, I know what I saw!"
Hatori walked over to Kyo and pulled him up. "Let's treat that bite." he said. Kyo tried to fight back but then he caught Ayame's eyes. He stopped moving and stared at them. They were slits. Kyo pointed at him but everyone was too busy looking at the frightened cat. Then Ayame smiled and showed fangs so long that even if he closed his mouth they would still show. Then last he stuck his tongue out and it was indeed forked.
"Look at him!" Kyo cried. Everyone did. Ayame stood there looking as innocent as a baby snake. He shrugged his shoulders.
"Kyo is not well." he said. "That spider bite must have really got to him. Please take care of him, Tori."
Hatori nodded then pulled on Kyo again. "I already checked him. He doesn't have any of the things you claim for him to have! He's a normal person...well...as nomal as Ayame can be." Hatori finally got the yelling Kyo out of the room so he could treat his bite.
"I guess that spider bite made him dilusional." Shigure said.
"Don't worry. Hatori will take care of him." Yuki said.
Ayame smiled and decided to leave. He didn't want to be around Kyo anymore. He didn't want to be accused of things that just weren't true.
"Things would have been funner if Aaya had a forked tongue..." Shigure said distantly.
"What things?" Tohru asked.
Yuki covered his face. Shigure just smiled and turned the TV back on.
Hatori was cleaning up the bite wound that Kyo had got. It hadn't been too hard. He had dealt with bites before. Kyo had calmed down was letting Hatori do what needed to be done. Hatori glanced at the bite...something was wrong. He examined it even closer. His eyes grew wide. This wasn't a spider bite at all...
Did you like it? Let me know!
