Chapter 4

Bastet The Witchcat!

Ivory sits up to see Tohru's—and now her room—filled with bright sun rays. She looks past the sleeping Tohru at the digital alarm clock on the bedside table. Seven O'clock. "Must've slept in late because I was up so late," Ivory mutters quietly to herself. The white tiger gets out of bed quietly trying not to disturb Tohru. "Guess I should get ready." Ivory quickly gets her uniform on and takes her hair out in front of her and Tohru's large vanity. She quickly unravels her long braid and her hair falls in a long river of waves.

"Your hair looks really pretty like that," Tohru says shocking Ivory so bad that her hair sticks up and her ears pop out. Tohru giggles. "You look like Kyo!" Ivory deflates. So…it's inevitable…I'm nothing but a scaredy cat…Ivory thinks. "I—I didn't mean it in a bad way! It's cute!" Tohru says hurriedly.

"No, it's fine! And thank you!" Ivory says becoming normal once more. "Do you really think I should leave it like this?"

"Yes it looks very cute!" Tohru says getting out of bed and walking towards Ivory. And suddenly the mirror is reflecting two pretty faces.

"Why are you up so early? You can sleep for a little while longer," Ivory says with a smile.

"But, I didn't make any breakfast," Tohru says with a small frown.

"Don't worry about that! I'll take care of it," Ivory says pointing to her chest with her thumb.

"But—,"

"Tohru, don't worry! I can handle breakfast on my own!" Ivory says walking towards the door. "Get some sleep, you were up late," Ivory says with a bright smile before she closes the door and goes down stairs to the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Kyo wonders walking into the kitchen and getting the carton of milk.

"Cooking breakfast, whatsit to you?" Ivory wonders as she turns on the stove and starts scrambling some eggs.

"You didn't put any onions in there did you?" Kyo wonders rushing to the eggs and looking at the bell peppers, the tomatoes and cheese.

"No, I still remember all of the foods you hate," Ivory laughs. "Even though onions are amazing,"

"No they're not!" Kyo says walking over to the fridge.

"Hey, toss me the milk," Ivory says turning around.

"Why?"

"Cause I said to," Kyo shrugs and Ivory catches it, splashing it in the still liquid eggs.

"What the hell!" Kyo says his ears popping out in his confusion. "Why would you do that?"

"Shut up, you won't be able to taste it, it just makes the eggs fluffier," Ivory laughs tossing the milk back which Kyo catches.

"Better not…"

"Good morning!" Shigure says walking into the kitchen. "I knew I heard a cat fight,"

"Good morning Shigure," Ivory says with a smile as she stirs the eggs.

"Ah, American food we're having, I'm guess Tohru's still asleep after the late night you two had,"

"Yeah, but she woke up, I practically had to wrestle her back to bed," Ivory says carelessly putting bread in the toaster.

"I would love to have seen that—," Before Shigure could say anything else Kyo and Yuki both knock the dog onto the floor.

"Good morning Yuki," Ivory says without turning around.

"Sick bastard," Kyo mutters stepping over Shigure's body.

"Good morning Ivory, where's Miss Honda?" Yuki says in a monotone voice, his very little amount of morning energy was just spent in knocking the damn dog out.

"You mean Tohru? She's upstairs resting, I'm sure she'll be down sooner or later,"

"Good morning!" Tohru says coming into the kitchen. "Uh…why's Shigure on the floor,"

"Don't worry about him, you guys should go to the dining room, breakfast will be ready any minute now," Ivory says happily.

"Oh, well I'll help you bring it in," Tohru says walking over. "Oh! You made scrambled eggs!"

"Yeah, you ever had them?"

"No, I've only had omelets; I've always wanted to try it though!" Tohru says happily.

"Well that's good, cause if I do say so myself, I can make some pretty bad ass scrambled eggs!" Ivory says scooping the eggs on a large serving plate, and putting bacon on the side of it, with the toast. Ivory and Tohru both walk into the dinning, Ivory with food, and Tohru with plates and utensils. "Alright, everyone dig in!" Ivory says happily. Soon the room is filled with scraping chopsticks on glass plates.

"Ivory this is fantastic!" Tohru says happily.

"Thank you very much!" Ivory laughs.

"So, are you excited for your second day of school Ivory?" Shigure asks Ivory.

"Yeah, but I'm also glad it's Friday," Ivory says without thinking.

"What's so good about Friday?" Kyo wonders.

"God damn it!" Ivory bursts. "I forgot I was in Japan…in America, and Europe we have Saturday and Sundays off, not just Sundays," Ivory explains. In Japan they have half days of school on Saturdays.

"How fascinating!" Tohru says happily.

"Speaking of school, you guys better get going," Shigure says looking up at the clock. "It's 8:05,"

"Right," Tohru says standing up with her plate.

"Don't worry, Shigure will put everything away," Ivory says standing up.

"Uh, what?" Shigure wonders with a smile but his tone suggests a feeling other than happiness.

"Yup!" Ivory says happily.

"Ivory, you can't come to someone's home and change everything," Yuki says blandly as he too stands up. Ivory walks towards the door.

"Just watch me,"

"So, Tohru, how many of the Zodiac have you met yet?" Ivory wonders as she and Tohru go to the vending machines to get everyone some beverages for lunch'

"Um, the people I haven't met are the horse, the monkey, the chicken, the tiger and the sheep!" Tohru says happily.

"Well that's not too much, I'm sure they're all really excited to meet you,"

"Oh no, not at all!" Tohru says with a blush. Ivory laughs.

"Don't be silly, you're the first outsider since me and my family, and we don't really count because we're pretty much in the same predicament as they are," Ivory says thoughtfully. Ivory quickly buys the drinks and she and Tohru carry it back to the gang. "Have you met Akito yet?"

"Hmm…Yes, not so long ago, he came to the school…it—it didn't end well. I…I kind of pushed him," Ivory looks at Tohru with shock and admiration. "I—I really didn't mean to! It just happened! He was talking to Yuki…and Yuki…he looked so scared…so frightened!"

"I'm impressed! You're much tougher than you look!" Ivory says lightly booty bumping Tohru. Tohru laughs.

"Thank you! Maybe Mom's spirit took over a little," Ivory looks at Honda's profile.

"You really love her don't you?"

"Oh yes! Mom's amazing! She used to be in a gang, and she was so tough and she was always so happy, and so strong! I want to be like her, or have some aspect of her one day," Tohru says her voice high and excited, moving slowly to a hushed tone.

"I'm sure you have tones of qualities like your mom!" Ivory says not even phased with the mention of Tohru's mom being in a gang. "They sneak up on you whether you want them to or not, like, my mom always lights candles, then dips her fingers in the wax, lets it harden and then peel it off. When I was ten I started doing the same thing, and I didn't even know that she had done that in the first place! Or, when I eat, I take a little piece of everything on my fork, and then I eat it!" Ivory says thinking of little goofy things that she and her mom do. Tohru laughs.

"I guess so! Like if I spill salt, I throw some over my shoulder! My mom used to do that because she was kind of superstitious!" Tohru says happily.

"Exactly!" Ivory says also pleased. "Plus, I'm sure you'll be a good mom too, I know your mom was because she raised you!" Tohru smiles. "C'mon! I'm sure the guys are getting a little restless!" Ivory says running up ahead and turning to smile. Tohru, silently, decides to try to take on aspects of Ivory, and other people she admires as well.

"Uh, do you hear something?" Shigure asks coming into the living room as Ivory flips through channels her homework laid out in front of her, Tohru and Yuki at the table helping each other with their work and Kyo napping in the corner.

"Huh?" Ivory says perking up. She listens…it…it sounds like an engine… "A motorcycle maybe?" Ivory says thoughtfully. She listens harder. It's coming our way…wait…I know that motorcycle! Ivory thinks happily. Ivory jumps up and runs out side in time for a woman on a motorcycle that pitch black with midnight blue highlights. The woman—or teen rather takes off her helmet and a pool of long pitch black hair comes falling out without a trace of helmet hair. "Bastet!" Ivory shouts as the teen kicks the stand and swings her leg over the seat and stands up with a bright smile. Ivory goes running into her sister's arms.

"Ivory!" Bass says as her sister embraces her tightly. She wraps her arms around her sister as well. "How are you?"

"Amazing now that you're here," Ivory says pulling away and turning around to see there's an audience.

"Ah, the beautiful Miss Bastet," Shigure says with his perv smile. Ivory rolls her eyes at her beautiful sister. Bass is around 5'8, tall and thin with light caramel skin, long black hair that stops around her lower calf area, a bright white smile and yellow green eyes.

"Hello Shigure," Bass says walking towards him, Yuki, Kyo and Tohru.

"Hello Bass," Yuki says politely and Bass gives him a hug which he excepts without blushing. Yuki's always admired Bass's quiet confidence and the ability to self-evaluate while Bass has always admired Yuki's thoughtfulness.

"Bass," Kyo nods and Bass gives Kyo a hug who's ears pop out in embarrassment. Like everyone else, Bass enjoys picking on Yuki, and loves beating him in races.

"Sissy, this is Tohru, Tohru this is my sister Bastet, but everyone calls her Bass," Ivory says happily. Tohru bows hurriedly in awe of Ivory's sister. I thought Ivory was tall…Tohru thinks looking at the girl that's around the same height as Yuki and Kyo, maybe taller.

"It's so nice to meet you! You're really pretty! And what an exotic name!" Tohru says frantically.

"Thank you, you're very pretty too! And my names Egyptian, it was the name of the goddess of the cats. My dad likes to name us to things that have to do with our other form," Bass explains.

"We should come in, the weather supposed to start to get rainy soon," Tohru says sliding the door open, everyone comes in and Bass takes off her shoes and goes into the living room. "I'll go and make tea," Tohru says quickly while Yuki packs up his and Tohru's school work.

"How are you? I thought you would come a little later in the week, I mean I just got here," Ivory says.

"I have a shoot here, so I decided to stop by," Bass does modeling every once in a while. People from all around the world pay to shoot Bass, she's every photographers dream, long legs, a beautiful body and completely exotic. Ivory did modeling for a little while, but she didn't handle the cat fights very well—or the models couldn't handle Ivory's claws very well.

"How long? Where's Mom? How're the littles—,"

"Geez, you act like you can't pick up a phone! Why do have so many questions?" Bass laughs. Ivory sticks her tongue out at her.

"I'm only here for a day or two, Mom's still in Italy and…I haven't heard from the Littles or Dad for a while," Bass says.

"The Littles?" Tohru asks confused as she comes in the beverages.

"Yeah, our little sisters," Bass says with a smile and a nod of thanks to Tohru.

"I've mentioned them to you," Ivory says with a smile as she takes her tea.

"Oh yeah! One's a lioness, and the other's a tabby right?" Tohru asks with smile.

"Yup,"

"And you're a black cat right Bass?"

"Yes,"

"Bass is known for being a witchcat!" Ivory says happily. Tohru freaks out a little and Ivory laughs.

"I'm not a witchcat,"

"Remember Annie?"

"Annie fell down those stairs on her own accord," Bass says raising her cup to her lips nonchalantly while Ivory laughs.

"Hana!" Tohru says suddenly. "You remind me of my friend Saki Hanajima," Tohru explains. Kyo and Yuki become very dark. She's spot on…they think slightly afraid.

"Really?" Bass wonders looking towards Ivory.

"Yeah, I guess you do!"

"Well, she must be amazing then," Bass laughs. "You guys got any food?" So much like her! I can't believe I never noticed…Yuki and Kyo think and Tohru quickly goes and gets refreshments.

"So, are you staying here?"

"No, I wouldn't want to trouble you guys. And the hotel room I have has free room service. I just came to say 'hi', and see if Kyo's gotten any faster," Bass says simply eating the food that Tohru just brought back. Kyo's ears perk up in interest.

"You serious? Of course I have! You want a rematch?"

"Of course," Bass says simply. "I'm sure you haven't improved that much," Ivory giggles.

"What! Don't laugh! You were beaten by me," Bass looks down at her sister, then turns her head away from her coolly.

"No, please…Bass!" Ivory whines tugging at her leather jacket like a lost kitten. "Stupid cat!" Ivory says turning towards Kyo with fire in her eyes.

"I'll race you, and fight for both me and my sister's honor," Bass says standing up.

"Great!" Kyo says jumping up.

"Get ready to lose witchcat!"

"Don't forget who won the other twenty-three races," Both Bass and Yuki say in unison.

"Stay outta this ya damn rat!" Kyo shouts as Yuki.

"Wow! I guess there's going to be a race!" Tohru says happily.
