(Amu's pov~)
The walk home was quiet, not a single thing was heard during those 10 minutes. I sighed and looked down at the black cat. It was peacefully looking at the lit up houses we past. I smiled as I thought of how cute it looked. Ami would have loved him/her she was an animal lover.
I smiled again then shook those thoughts away. Slowly looking at the house I call home ever since…that accident, I liked it even though Kuukai was a bit annoying.
I smiled at that thought; he's always been there for me though. I remember having a crush on him in elementary. But I quickly got over that after fitting him in as the role of my big brother. Besides, I'm not into red-heads.
I quickly ran up the steps to the house and opened the door using my spare key, I looked around no one was home yet. Quickly I ran upstairs and put the cat down on my bed as I gathered the things I'll need to give him a bath. Grabbing some almost empty shampoo, a worn out towel, and an old soft brush, I put those in the bathroom before returning to the cat.
I sighed as I found it asleep on top of my favorite pillow. I quietly placed my index finger on its ear earning a purr then a hiss. I giggled softly at the pissed off look it had, carefully picking it up I took it to the bathroom down the hall and placed it in the tub. It looked at me with wide eyes.
Slowly I turned the knob so that I could get the right amount of water. I shook my hands a bit after testing the temperature. I picked up the black cat and placed it in the tub earning a hiss and a scratch. I put my thumb under cold water for a bit then glared at the cat quickly I turned around and began pouring water down its back. Earning a shiver here and then, I looked at the cat's expression and gulped.
He was giving me a death glare. I swear I felt like my eyes were going to melt out of my head. It was starring daggers right through me. I sighed and put some shampoo into my hand quickly wincing as it got into the cut. I looked at the cat that now had a look of concern in his eyes. My expression softened I give it a small smile before rubbing the shampoo into its fur. It was so soft and thick, I quickly I finished up there and rinsed him off. I repeated this 2 more times before finally grabbing the towel off the clothes bin and wrapping HIM, yes him; in it. I guess that's what happened when you daze off thinking of diner while rubbing in shampoo.
"Ick." I said to myself remembering that incident. I looked down at the cat I was currently drying on top of my bed. And glared at the amused look it had.
"So I guess I have to name you, hmm…?" I asked loud enough for the cat to hear. He meowed in response I put him on top of my pillow and thought.
"How about Fluffy?" I asked smiling.
Glare
"Err um….bandit?"
Glare
"H-how about prince"
Glare -glare- glare
"Umm Yoru…That's not too bad" I said and smiled a bit as his gaze softened and he meowed looking at least satisfied. I yawned as I looked at the time; it was only 7 how was I tired? I looked around the room and found what I was looking for. I bought a black choker with a silver cross on it when I was at least 7 or 8, it fit me a bit big but I added a few holes to make it smaller. I looked at the ca- err Yoru and walked towards him with the choker dangling on my fingers.
"Let's see if this fits" slowly putting it over the cats head. I let go and watched it dangle a bit off its neck. I turned it around and tightened it a bit. It fit perfect now, I smiled but that quickly turned into a frown as I heard my stomach growl. I looked at the cat it had an amused look yet again. I puffed out my cheeks before grabbing Yoru and heading downstairs.
"Alright what to eat…" I asked before opening the fridge and quickly grabbing some left over tuna salad I made yesterday.
I grabbed a plastic bowl and put some in there. I turned around and set it on the floor at the end of the table. The cat meowed and jumped off starting to eat away. I sighed and turned around and grabbed some gummy worms I usually stash away from Kukai, right before I could even take a bite I heard the door open.
"Yo, Amu!" he said coming in with his soccer uniform in one hand with a soccer ball in another.
"Yo. " I replied back, finally taking a bite out of the taunting gummy worms.
"Is that a cat!?" he asked, sparkles forming in his eyes, like a little obsessed fan girl who just saw her idol.
I sweat dropped, "Yup what's it to ya?" I asked and right when I finished my sentence he picked Yoru up, who was in the middle of eating and put him on the counter and began petting him. At first all Yoru did was growl until Kuukai scratched behind his ear.
I smiled a bit at the scene and then remembered something.
"Nee Kuukai where are your parents?" I asked a bit confused
"Oh they didn't call you yet?" he asked turning his attention to me.
"N-o-p-e, that's why I'm asking you, stupid." I said sarcastically.
"They're at some business meeting or party thing…I wasn't really listening." he said before scratching the back of his neck.
"When do you ever listen?" I asked before rolling my eyes and popping the last gummy worm into my mouth.
I yawned again and looked at the time on the oven. "Its 8 and I'm already tired..." I said to myself then turned to Kuukai and sweat dropped. Yoru was purring while he was half falling asleep and Kuukai was trying to hold back a laugh.
"Hey Kuukai, you mind watching him for a bit? I'm going to take a shower." I asked before yawning again.
"Sure." he replied then gave me his signature grin.
I smiled then walked up stairs to start my search for a towel then head to the bathroom. I finished up grabbing everything and headed to the bathroom across the hall, clutching my towel tightly so that my iPod wouldn't fall and brake.
Quickly undressing and placing everything on top of the counter I put my iPod on shuffle. And immediately froze.
"I thought…I deleted it…" she said her eyes widened as she listened to the very song that she heard before everything was taken away from her. Out of habit I began singing parts of the song.
I looked at my iPod's screen and I read the band name "All time low: Therapy" (a/n this song is pretty cool if your into punk you should check out the band C: )
"…When I woke up alone, I had everything…" I sung quietly as I stepped into the bath tub and adjusted the temperature. I stayed silent as I heard the song go bye, until that part that got to me the most came. "A hand full of moments…I wish I could change but I was carried away….give me therapy I'm a walking tragic but I'm smiling at everything…" I said my silent tears getting mixed with the water from the shower head.
~(15 minutes later)~
I quickly put on a pair of worn out pink PJ shorts and a plain yellow tank top. Quickly heading downstairs for Yoru, I laughed at the sight. Kuukai was knocked out on the couch and Yoru was on the other side of the couch looking annoyed as hell.
Yoru turned and stared at me as I approached him and picked him up before giving him a soft kiss on the nose. I quickly smiled then looked at Yoru he had an adorable puzzled look on. I put him on the counter and headed to the closet near the front door. Grabbing a blanket I put it over Kuukai. My smile fading a bit remembering how Ami used to fall asleep in random places while playing with her toys.
I shook my head a bit before turning to Yoru, he was staring at me while his tail flickering back and forth.
I picked him up again and started heading to my room, getting to the top of the stairs I headed to my room where I closed the door with my free hand before placing Yoru down on the bed and turning off the lamp.
I laid down and turned to look at Yoru, he was staring at me with his violet eye's the light from outside giving it a beautiful glow. I took a breath in and carefully hugged him to my chest. My gaze saddening as I thought about the line from that song…"but I'm smiling at everything…." I whispered to myself before snuggling the cat closer to me.
"I promise you I'll never leave your side…" I said looking at the cat before giving it another sweet kiss on the nose.
"I promise you I'll be here with you till the end, because you're all I have and all I need." I said letting tears fall before sleep toke over.
~Ikutos pov~
If only I could hug her and comfort her I could tell she's been through a lot like me. I thought to myself my tail swishing back and forth, the words she said…they replayed inside my head thousands of times…
I purred a bit at the thought of this damn curse being broken, but they have to accept me for who I truly am. She doesn't care that I'm a black cat that brings nothing but bad luck…she still promised me. If I could smile right now I would have already. So innocent and pure yet scarred at the same time.
I turned my neck a bit and stared at this strange woman named Amu who set me free. I'm finally getting out of this body. I said unable to keep my eyes off of her. For some reason the thought of her accepting me for who I really am keeps bothering me….I said before falling asleep my self
~Amus pov~
I yawned as I snuggled closer to the new warmth I felt beside me. Placing my arms around it I quickly snapped back to reality coming face to face with blue hair and a pale neck my nose slightly touching this stranger's neck as my breath was repeatedly blowing against its neck…wait…" WHAT!?"I yelled quickly retracting my arms and jumping out of bed. Grabbing the closest thing next to me…which was a pillow I held it to my defense my legs shaking a bit and my head spinning from still trying to figure out what's going on.
"Wh-who are y-y-ou, what are you doing here?" I asked, attempting to scream but that back fired and became a low whisper. The stranger stirred a bit after about a minute or two he woke up and stretched then touched his neck were the cross choker I gave Yoru was- wait what! Where's Yoru did he take that from him?
"W-who are you?!" I screamed, quickly quieting down as he turned around and looked at me with mesmerizing violet eyes…they look just like the ones Yoru has…I put the pillow up for my defense yet again and stared back at him with a glare.
"Oh…you're up." he said a couple seconds later his eyes widening.
I stared at him with a confused look as he looked at his hands and took the covers off his legs before looking at them to. He then turned to look at me with a happy expression but that quickly changed to a sad look as he looked at my pose.
"W-what are you doing here?!" I asked shouting once again, my voice wobbly and face a bit flushed because, well the guy didn't have a shirt on. What can I say I'm female right?
"What are you talking about Amu? It's me Yor-" he said before cutting himself off. "It's because I changed…you don't recognize me at all?" he asked, his eyebrows raised a bit.
I bit my lip,"W-why do you have the collar I put on Yoru?" I asked a bit more calmly.
He smirked and looked at me, "Why strawberry you don't remember your little black cat~?" he asked before the weirdest thing happened. EARS AND A TAIL POPPED OUT!? I screamed in my head as my eyes widened at the stranger before me. In the process of thinking I dropped my pillow.
"W-w-what, I-I mean wait….n-no way this is all insane." I said putting my hands on my head and messing up my hair.
"It's not impossible there is a way." he said and smirked.
"C-can you explain please how magic cat ears and a fucking tail popped out of no were!?" I asked starring at him like he was an alien.
"Language ~ and as for that," he said and smiled. "You made a promise, and set me free." he said and stared at me with a warm smile.
I blushed a bit before dropping my arms to my side and scooting a bit closer. "S-so you're…Yoru?" I asked my gaze softening a bit as I started to believe.
"Yup, but my real name isn't Yoru you know," he said and quickly smirked."It's Ikuto~ remember it strawberry because I'll make you say it in so many ways." he said and winked.
"P-P-PERVERT!" I yelled, flushed as I picked up the pillow and threw it at him. And of course being a cat he dodged it without a care.
"Only to you~" he sang out and winked yet again.
"I've only just met you 10 minutes ago, and I'm already dying to get away from you!" I said stomping to my door and opening it. "Hey perver- I mean Ikuto stay here, I'm going to take a bath I'll bring you some clothes when I'm done." I said and looked at him.
"Want me to join you Amu?" he asked seductively.
"N-no way!" I yelled and stomped to the bathroom.
"What am I going to do with you…?"
…
I scrambled out of the shower when I heard someone yell, "Amu why the hell is there a guy in your room?!"

Micky: Another edited chappy~ -still hanging onto Yamato-
Ikuto: -scans pages yet again- I see. –looks over at me and smiles evilly- You do realize, that you failed to mention I'm naked.
Amu: What?! I don't want Kuukai seeing you like that! Only I can see you when you're indecent!
Micky: Umm…you know that in most M rated fics, Ikuto can be completely exposed?
Amu: I won't allow it! –grabs Ikuto and stuffs into a random closet- Now no one can see him.
Micky: Except the rabid fangirls I keep in there, just in case someone wanders in-
Amu: Why didn't you tell me?! –runs over and grabs Ikuto who's shirt is already ripped off- Go into that room over there and stay!
Ikuto: -sighs and walks into Micky's bedroom- -peeks head out- I'm taking a nap. –closes door-
