Kitty woke up and felt dizzy. She was hugging her Dango and her turtle and wobbled into the kitchen.

"Kitty! You should stay in bed!" said Tohru. Kitty rubbed her eyes and shook her head, walking toward the couch.

She sat on the couch and stared at the wall. Shigure was smoking outside, since Kitty told them she had asthma.

"here you go, Kitty! I hope you like fried rice..." Kitty stared at the food, and shook her head.

"Kitty likes white rice. With tiny seaweeds on top," said Kitty. Tohru smiled, and picked up the plate with fried rice.

"Oh, seasoning? Coming right up! You know, that was my favorite when I was little, too!" Tonru giggled, and skipped to the kitchen. "Oh! Sorry Yuki. Didn't see you there!"

"That's alright Miss Honda," said Yuki. He always had a soft voice. He never yelled. He walked to the living room where Kitty was sitting and said, "after you eat, want to go outside?" Yuki didn't ask her because Kyo was awake. He liked going out to the garden with Kitty.

Kitty nodded really fast and ate her food. After she was done, she grabbed her bowl– still holding on to her Dango, and dropped her bowl in the sink. She skipped and put on her shoes and met Yuki at the door. Shigure said, "be safe," and Tohru waved goodbye. It was raining. Yuki held her hand, not scared she would run off, and walked to the garden.

She loved skipping and dancing in the rain. She would jump over rocks and logs. Fact about Kitty number four: Kitty can be very hyper. She didn't care if she got wet. When they arrived at the garden, the strawberries were barely popping out of the soil. Kitty bent down with her stomach to the ground to get a closer look.

The rain was hitting her on the head, making her hair soaking wet. The waterfall was falling against her back, making her shirt wet, too. But she didn't mind. She got up, and the little drops on the tip of her hair fell in the soil. The rain was starting to get harder.

"we should be going," said Yuki. He had no idea Kitty was still sick. She was barely getting better. Kitty could feel she was sick, though, but she still wanted to go outside. She walked to Yuki, and held his hand. She felt a lot weaker, but Yuki thought she was just tired. "here. Ride on my back. It doesn't count as a hug." He bent down so Kitty could go on his back. But she was too weak. And she fell.

Yuki gasped, dropped the umbrella, and caught Kitty. "Kitty? Kitty! KITTY!" Yuki screamed. Kitty didn't move at all. These were the times Yuki screamed. He tried shaking her. Lifting her arm up. Poking her face. But nothing worked. He kept screamimg her name.

"Uh, Yuki? What's wrong? Oh my God, who's that?" said a voice. He had unusual hair, top half was white, bottom half was black.

"Haru!" shouted Yuki. "HELP ME SAVE KITTY!"

"Kitty? Uh, okay," said Hatsuharu. He hugged her, and turned into an ox. Or cow. Yuki placed Kitty on the back of Hatsuharu, almost going to cry. He held back his tears, but his eyes were still turning red. Mumbling under his breath, "I should of known she was still sick. I should of known she was still sick. I should of known she was still sick. Can't you go any faster?"

"Man, you care about this little girl, huh?" said Hatsuharu. "I'll go faster, but this little girl might slip off."

"well hurry up then," demanded Yuki. "and her name is Kitty. She's like a little sister to me." Hatsuharu laughed. "what's so funny?" asked Yuki.

"heh, I remember you saying when we were little you wanted a little sister instead of Ayame. You tried convincing a girl to be your sister. Say, did you kidnap this poor girl?" laughed Hatsuharu.

"shut up," growled Yuki. "and Kitty was lost, so she followed me home." He stroked her hair and finally arrived to the house. He quickly carried Kitty and ran to place her on a couch.

Tohru and Shigure gasped. "what happened?!" Yuki was panting and talked really fast.

"I didn't know she was still sick and she looked better and was hyper so i thought I could take her out but when we were about to leave she collapsed." Yuki said quickly, then gasped for air. His arms were wet since he carried her while she was soaking wet.

Tohru was crying and Shigure called Hatori on the phone. Kyo was out training under waterfalls or something and fighting bears.

Five minutes later, Hatori came. "you could of got here faster," grumbled Yuki.

Hatori ignored him and checked Kitty's heartbeat. "she's still breathing. She just passed out. Yuki did a 'phew' and calmed down.

"she'll be fine," said Hatori. "she needs rest. Plenty of rest. That means no taking her outside." He glared at Yuki.

They all said thank you, except Haru, since he barely knew Kitty.

Yuki had a straight face and walked to the bathroom. Tohru got worried and followed him. "Yuki... What's wrong?" Three seconds later, he started to tear up. Tohru never saw Yuki cry before. Never. The times she lived there, never. She's seen Yuki laugh, but not cry.

He stayed silent. Probably because he was too embarassed to talk. He cried, but didn't burst out crying. "I'm worried for her. Tohru..." Tohru paused and stared. He never called her Tohru. Only 'Miss Honda.' He shed some more tears and Haru came.

"woah. You okay, Yuki?" asked Haru. Tohru didn't think Haru saw Yuki cry, too. Haru stared at Yuki wide-eyed, then at Tohru. "uh, we'll leave you alone for a bit, 'kay?"

He cried for three minutes, and came out with red eyes. That's how it always is. You cry, you have red eyes.

"so, how did the little girl get here?" asked Haru. "Yuki's worried for her, like, a lot. Like... A dad."

Tohru sighed. "yes, I know. And if she dies, I don't know what will happen. She followed him home after he found her."

"ah, so it is true. I thought he kidnapped her." He laughed. They saw Yuki bend down next to Kitty and stroke her hair. It's only been a month since she stayed and now he's a dad.

Tohru walked to Yuki. "do you want to come to the grocery store with me to buy some vegatables for soup? We'll feed it to Kitty as a surprise. She loves vegatable soup." Yuki nodded and whispered something in Kitty's ear.

"we'll be back, okay?" he whispered. He got up, and got walked to Tohru. "Haru, watch her." Haru nodded, and Yuki and Tohru left. Shigure was sleeping lazily in his room since Kitty had the couch.

o~o~o

Kitty got up. She looked around to look for Tohru and Yuki. She walked outside to find them. Beside her while she was sleeping, a man was there. Perhaps he was one of the zodiacs. Hmm, white hair, a black hair on the bottom... A lamb!

She went outside where it was snowing. She'll wait for them here! But first, she put on her fur coat and mitts Shigure got her. Sitting down on the snow, she sang The Big Dango Family.

"Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango Dikazoku. Yancha na, yaki-dango, yasashii an-dango. Sukoshi yumemgigachi na, tsukimi-dango. Osumashi goma-dango, yotsugo kushi dango. Minna minna awasete, hyakunin kazoku..." Her words got weaker and weaker, and she got colder and colder. She started shivering. And fell face first. She lay there helplessly.

"OH NO!" Haru cried. He shook her, poked her, and even slapped her. But that just left a big mark on her face. "what will Yuki say?!"

"say what?" Yuki came with Tohru. "KITTY! WHAT HAPPENED?" he screamed at Haru.

"I came outside to wait for you," said Kitty weakly. Her voice was so weak, it looked like she was going to die. Yuki started crying silently with huge amounts of tears. Tohru also started crying, but not as much as Yuki. He quickly carried Kitty inside.

"CALL HATORI. NOW!" demanded Yuki.
