Chapter 9
Rice Balls in the Morning!
"Ivory!" Lio whispers hovering over her sister and looking at her sleeping. "Ivory!" Lio says a little louder and Ivory jerks up bonking her head with Lio's. They both groan.
"What the hell do you want Lio!" Ivory moans annoyed.
"I'm hungry," Lio says simply as she let's go of her head.
"Are you kidding me?!" Ivory moans opening one of her eyes to glare at her sister. "You know how to make yourself food!"
"I just learned how to make Japanese food though! I'm not that good!"
"Lio, just scramble some freaking eggs and shut up," Ivory says laying back down and putting a pillow over her head. Lio sighs and looks up to see Kyo up and looking at her.
"Don't even ask!" he says and Lio continues to stare at him. "Stop it!" Her amber eyes don't move away from his red ones. "Fine! Wake up Tabby cause I don't want to hear her mouth either!" Kyo instructs annoyed as he goes to the kitchen. Lio quickly wakes up her sister and they both go into the kitchen. Ivory removes the pillow from her face and sits up.
"Did he just?" Bass asks her sister her eyes still close and her back turned from Yuki who she is sleeping by.
"Yes, I think he did," Ivory says quite shocked.
"Interesting," Bass says opening her eyes.
"Yes, interesting is right," Ivory says standing up. "I'm gonna go see this with my own eyes!"
"Wait for me!" Together the two sisters go into the dining room to find the three cats eating breakfast.
"Oh! No you want to get up!" Kyo says irritated "After I've already made enough food for everyone!" Ivory giggles.
"I didn't tell you to, and to my understanding neither did Lio," Ivory says sitting down next to Tabs and steals some of her food.
"What?! Yeah she did!"
"No I didn't! I just looked at you. I really was gonna get up and make my own food," Lio says looking up at Kyo and eating a fish rice ball.
"What?! No!"
"Just accept the fact that you made food for us because you missed us. It's not that hard," Tabby says with a shrug.
"Why would I miss a couple of brats like you two?" Kyo says crossing his arms and closing his eyes.
"Just ignore him, he'll come to terms sooner or later," Bass says with a shrug.
Lio and Tabby giggle when—POP! Lio turns into a lion cub. Kyo opens his eyes and looks at the lion.
"Did you forget to change?" Ivory wonders. "No, wait, why didn't you change when I did?!"
"Because I was seeing how long I would last. It was about ten hours," Ivory's eyebrows inch up impressed.
"Wow, that's a good amount of time for a lioness,"
"Oh my gosh there's a lion!" Tohru's voice says from the doorway. Everyone looks up at the cat lover. "Lio you're so beautiful!" Tohru says walking over to Lio and petting her. "I was just going to make breakfast but I guess it's already made!" Tohru says looking at the table. "Thank you Ivory!"
"What!" Kyo shouts annoyed.
"Your welcome," Ivory says completely serious ignoring Kyo's shouts.
"Uh…what's wrong Kyo?" Tohru wonders confused.
"I made breakfast!" Kyo shouts.
"Oh really! But Ivory…" Tohru says looking at Ivory who giggles.
"I was just messing with Kyo," Ivory says with a shrug.
"Yeah! Kyo made it, and it's pretty good," Tabby says taking another bite of her rice ball—POP! Tohru's face goes into shock as an orange tabby kitten makes her way out of Tabby's clothes.
"What the hell!? Is everyone testing their limits now?!" Ivory wonders picking her sister up and looking into her green eyes.
"No, I just forgot," Tabby admits and Ivory and Bass laugh.
"Tabby you look a lot like Kyo! Only smaller and you have more white stripes," Tohru remarks.
"Yeah, it's an unfortunate coincidence," Tabby mutters.
"Hey!" Kyo shouts.
"Oh yeah! Thank you for making breakfast!" Tohru says suddenly to Kyo shocking him so that his ears come out. "You really didn't have to!" Tohru continues bowing her head.
"Yeah well, these brats made me!" Kyo shouts annoyed and embarrassed.
"I thought we went over this," Tabby says hopping out of her sister's arms and eating her food.
"Shut up!"
"Really Kyo, what kind of person yells at a kitten like that? That has to be some kind of form of animal cruelty," Shigure says coming out of nowhere.
"What the hell did you get here?!" Kyo shouts his ears and tail getting all bushy.
"I was awoken by all of your racket!" Shigure states grandly but truthfully he just smelled food. "You really should learn to be more subtle and quiet,"
"You're one to talk!" Kyo shouts loudly but then starts coughing.
"Kyo! Are you OK?" Tohru wonders shocked. She immediately stops petting Lio and walks over to Kyo and puts her hand on his forehead. "You're kind of warm maybe you should—,"
"I'm fine! I just had a tickle in my throat!" Kyo says loudly then turns away from everyone with a deep blush spreading across his face.
"But—,"
"He won't admit anything," Ivory says with a shrug. "He'll be OK, we'll just keep an eye of him," Tohru nods but can't help her thinking…But…Dad…
"Ivory! What are we doing today?" Lio wonders sitting on the table. Ivory shrugs.
"I don't know, what do you want to do/" Ivory asks.
"I wanna go shopping!" Lio and Tabby both say in unison.
"Yeah alright, but do you have money? Cause I'm not buying you anything," Ivory says crossing her arms.
"Yeah, Grandma just added more money to our cards," Tabby says.
"Wait, does she still give you money?" Bass wonders curiously her ears popping out.
"Yeah, but only half of what you guys get," Ivory says with a slight pout. Ivory looks to Tohru who seems extremely lost. "Our grandmother gives all of us money, depending on your form. The smaller cat you are the smaller amount of money you receive,"
"But since we're so closely related to the head of family—AKA Grandma—in our immediate family, we all get the same amount of money, and the largest amount," Bass adds.
"It's like the Sohma's," Lio says.
"Oh your family must be very wealthy!" Tohru says in awe.
"Definitely. We're in the top thirty richest families in America,"
"Number eighteen to be exact," Tabby says and Tohru starts freaking out.
"Our grandma always acquired money somehow—most likely through lying, cheating and possibly killing—but she made her fortune when she started some weird business when she was twenty-two," Bass explains. "She then sold it to a rich alley cat for about 25 million dollars and began investing in stocks. By the time she had our dad she had made her first billion,"
"Plus our Dad is a major business man," Ivory adds. Tohru starts freaking out even more unable to believe the information the Williams just told her.
"So are we going to the mall or not?" Lio wonders ignoring Tohru's frozen state.
"'Course, you guys should change back and get ready," Ivory says simply.
"Yeah OK," Tabby says walking out of the room. "I'll go see if Yuki wants to come," She calls out.
"OK! Make sure he doesn't try to kill you when he wakes up!" Ivory shouts casually. Lio puts both her and Tabby's clothes in her mouth and trots back to sitting room.
"So are you guys coming with us?" Bass wonders towards Kyo and Tohru.
"I would love to!" Tohru says happily. "I can't remember the last time I've been shopping!" Tohru says excitedly.
"I don't know, I have some business to attend to. Maybe I'll catch up with you guys later," Shigure says with his signature smile.
"OK!" Ivory says wither her signature smile. "And Kyo you have no choice of the matter,"
"What the hell!? Why don't I get a say?"
"So you want to stay home?" Ivory wonders.
"I didn't say that!" Kyo shouts back.
"Great! Then to the mall we go!
