Chapter 10

Shopping Surprises

"Ooh! Let's go here!" Lio says happily as Tohru, the Sohma's and the Smiths walk into the mall.

"Yeah, alright," Ivory says with a happy smile.

"This is stupid," Kyo mutters his hand in his pockets as everyone looks around.

"Maybe you shouldn't have come," Yuki mutters annoyed.

"Yeah and what's it to you damn rat boy!" Kyo shouts loudly then goes into a coughing fit.

"Kyo!" Tohru says grabbing his arm and looking at him sincerely.

"What! Ge—get off! I'm fine!" Kyo shouts his face turning red from the close contact with Tohru.

"Maybe you should've stayed home," Tohru says in a very worried voice.

"Whatever! I'm fine!" Kyo shouts shaking Tohru off and walking ahead. Tohru frowns and Ivory looks at her sad face then catches up with Kyo who's walking a little bit ahead of everyone now.

"Stop being a jack ass," Ivory mutters as the two walk into the store that Lio wanted to go into.

"Whatever,"

"No, not whatever!" Ivory says annoyed. Lio and Tabs start running around the store looking for clothes Lio pulling Yuki and Tohru with her as Tabs pulls Bass. "What the hell's up with you, I know you don't feel good but damn,"

"Whoever said I didn't feel good?" Kyo shouts then coughs and Ivory looks at him with a raised eyebrow. Ivory digs in her purse and pulls out her wallet. In flash she throws it straight at Kyo's face and hits him in the eye. "Ow what the hell you maniac!" he shouts holding his eye as Ivory bends down and picks up her wallet.

"Think fast!" she shouts back.

"You're supposed to say that before you throw the object!"

"And if you actually felt good you would've moved your head. Unless of course it was Yuki throwing the object,"

"Shut up!" Kyo shouts annoyed.

"Ivory! Ivory can I get this!?" Tabby shouts running over to Ivory and Kyo.

"Sure why not, I'm not paying for it," Ivory shrugs with a smile.

"What happened to you?" Tabby wonders looking at Kyo who's still holding his eye.

"Your damn sister threw her wallet at me!" Kyo shouts annoyed.

"Why?"

"Ask her!"

"I was proving to Kyo that he doesn't feel good," Tabby makes a strange face then nods and runs to find more clothes. "So, are you going to admit that you were wrong and apologize to Tohru?" Ivory asks looking back at Kyo.

"And why would I do that?"

"Hmm? Because if you don't I'll throw my wallet at you again!" Ivory says with a violent face.

"Fine! Fine! I'm going outside!" Kyo shouts quickly getting away from the vicious white tiger.

"Don't run away or I'll really kick your ass!" Ivory calls out.

"I won't!" Kyo shouts back. "Damn woman…" Kyo mutters to himself as he leaves the shop.

"Where's Kyo going?" Tohru wonders appearing next to Ivory.

"Hopefully to get some sense," Ivory frowns then turns and gives Tohru a pleasant smile. "Let's go find everyone else!"

"Damn woman…who told her I didn't feel good! And what person throws something a sick person! Not that I'm sick…" Kyo mutters so himself as he walks around the mall trying to calm down.

"Who're you talking to?" a little boy of about eight asks him suddenly causing little cat ears to pop out of his head.

"What's it to ya!"

"Mom says that when you talk to yourself it means you're going mad," the little boy says.

"So why the hell are you talking to a mad person?" the little boy shrugs. "Huh, just go find your mom and leave me the hell alone,"

"Hey, I'm looking for a present for my little sister—,"

"I don't care—,"
"She's leaving the hospital for the first time today! And I wanna get her a present!" Kyo looks down at the kid.

"Look, brat, I don't know what to tell ya—,"
"Can you lend me five dollars?"

"What?! Why?"

"You're so stupid! I wanna buy my sister something!"

"So why'd you come to the mall with no money!?"

"Cause my mom has a lunch date with friends!" Kyo falls on a bench in complete irritation and covers his head with his hands. "Hey mister you OK?"

"Here's a ten, get the hell away from me!" Kyo shouts handing out his money while his head pulses.

"Thanks mister!" Kyo looks up in time to see the kid run to a toy store and in the window there's a large white cat with big blue eyes and a pink ribbon in her hair. Kyo frowns, then stands and walks into the toy store. Kyo stares at the toy long and hard.

"Hey mister!" Kyo sighs and looks at the brat. "Look what I got! Look what I got!" in his hand is a cat identical to the one in front of him only his is black with a green bow and yellow eyes.

"Hey, how much did that cost?"

"Ten dollars, why?" Kyo sighs and grabs the white one by the ear and walks to the cashier. "I want this one," Kyo says forcefully his head pounding for some reason.

"9. 95," the male cashier says. "Is it for your girlfriend?" Kyo's ears stick up and he looks at the cashier incredulously. "See! I knew it—!"

"You know nothing!" Kyo shouts loudly and throwing the money at his head. "Keep the change," he snaps and storms off.

"Hey mister why are you so mad?" The boy asks. "And your face is turning red. Are you sick?" Kyo stops and glares at the little boy, but the boy simply looks past Kyo. "Oh! There's my mom! See ya later! Thanks for the money!" the boy asks running past the cat towards a woman and some of her friends. The boy shows off his toy and the woman smiles and picks him up lovingly. Kyo stares as the boy points his way. The mom boys towards him and he continues to stare.

"Hey stupid! Are you better now?" Ivory voice comes from behind Kyo and Kyo turns to see Ivory standing with the whole gang. "Hmm…what's that?" Ivory wonders pointing to the cat in Kyo's hand.

Kyo turns and finds Tohru then holds out the cat in front of her. "Oh my gosh she's so cute!" Tohru squeals. "Are you giving her to someone?"

"I'M GIVING HER TO—," Kyo shouts then stops himself. "Just. Take her." He mutters and Tohru's eyes go wide and she takes the cat. Ivory smiles and pulls Kyo's ears.

"You're so cute!" she squeals then frowns. "Yah! Cat! Why're your ears so hot?"

"Get off me! That hurts!" Kyo shouts and he grabs his head.

"Kyo…are you OK?" Tohru asks behind her new stuffed animal.

"I'm fine…I'm—," before Kyo can finish his sentence he tumbles over onto the floor.

"Kyo!" Tohru and Ivory say going to his aid. Yuki frowns and checks the scene and he notices all the people staring.

"Can we move him?" He asks slightly annoyed.

"I don't know. We would have to," Ivory says looking up at him and he frowns not really wanting to have to touch the cat.

"We can't just stay here he's gonna change any minute," Bass says kneeling down by his head and touching his forehead.

"Everybody stand back," a familiar deep voice says and everyone excluding the passed out cat looks up to see Hatori and Shigure.

"What're you two doing here?!" Everyone shouts.

"Stand back," Hatori restates.

"Why would he go out in this condition?" Hatori wonders as Hatori comes down from Kyo's room and into the sitting room where everyone's waiting.

"Because he's Kyo," Ivory says simply. And Hatori nods his head.

"Is he OK?" Tohru wonders.

"Yeah, he's asleep now and his fever's dropping," Tohru nods.

"I'm going to go make him some soup," Tohru says finally putting her stuffed cat down and quickly going into the kitchen.

"What happened?" Hatori wonders.

"He was outside in the rain. I should've told him to stay home but I didn't think it'd be that bad," Ivory admits. "We're really lucky you guys showed up,"

"Yeah, why were you guys there?" Yuki wonders.

"I had business with Hatori and I mentioned where you all were and he just couldn't stay away," Shigure says in his normal pervertish voice.

"Why do you make everything sound so creepy?" Hatori frowns.

"It's a God given gift!" Shigure says happily and Ivory laughs.

"You're so—," before Ivory can finish her sentence the phone rings. "I got it," Ivory says standing up and rushing to the phone before Tohru. "Hello?"

"Ivory is that you?" Siberious asks.

"Oh hey stupid,"

"I have some bad news…"
