Two Cats in One School (open)

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kyo thought "Oh shit. She asked. Great I'm fucked now." Great, now he'd have no choice other than to tell her the truth. "I mean, really, what is amazing in in and out of town?" He asked himself. Nothing, that's what. Shit he was caught. Damn big mouth. Well, might as well tell her. Honesty was the best policy. Or so everybody says. How was he supposed to put it though? Some guys, in this situation, would go "Baby, I wanna bone you." That'd be the wangsters. Some would be like "You're unbelievable." and quote the song, that'd be the nerds. Most people called him a tough guy. So, did that mean he was supposed to say something in the middle? What the hell was in between boning and quoting songs? Shit.

"Well, I was refering to the girl that brought me out here." He paused. 'Come on man, come up with something better!' He yelled at himself. "You really are amazing Kiki. I've thought that since I first saw you this morning." Wow, he sounded like one of those desperate romantics. You know, the guys that say they love you, but go around trying to fuck everyone anyways. Hopefully, she wouldn't react the wrong way. He didn't want her to take it the wrong way, if there was a wrong way to take it, and never talk to him again.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kikiyo stood there, still holding Kyo's hand, listening to the tone of his voice as he said these things. Sometimes you could tell wether a guy was lying to you or not by the tone of their voice. She just couldn't take the chance of getting hurt again. She couldn't hear any false emotions or hidden intentions behind his words. This made her happy, becoz maybe she found the one guy in school that wasn't going to be a complete douche bag towards her. He was saying that she thought that she was amazing and had thought that since this morning. Just like she thought the same about him.

She looked over and saw that his face was a pale pink. It was also decorated with a sense of hope. Hope that he wouldn't get rejected? Why would anyone in their right mind ever reject him? Maybe it wasn't so much that he was rejected, maybe it was that he never got close enough to anyone to get rejected by them. She figured that he was scared right now. He didn't want to get rejected, no one did though. It sucked. She couldn't imagine never getting close to anybody. "I've been thinking the same exact thing about you all day." She admitted hoping that he wouldn't think she was lying, becoz she definitely wasn't. "I kinda wanted to be more than friends as soon as we started talking to each other." She paused again not knowing what else to say, but she did come up with something. "I know its your first day and everything, so it must be stressful enough already. I won't make things complicated between us. Not when it seems you've got enough on your plate right now as it is. But one day maybe we could actually be 'we'." She didn't know what else to say, so she did what any other girl would have done. Without thinking she wrapped her arms around his torso and brought him close to her for a hug.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kyo was simply amazed that she was so understanding about the whole thing. He was so worried that she was going to reject him just like his entire family did. It wasn't his fault that that damned rat tricked him long long ago and got him excluded from the family. She said that she felt the same way about him as he did about her. Which was definitely a plus. She'd said that she wanted to be more than just friends, but not yet since he seemed stressed out. Which he was, he means, how are you supposed to get close to someone when you can't even hug them?

Then it happened. She wrapped her arms around him and brought him close to her for a hug. Shit, shit, shit. He was going to turn into a fucking cat any second now. *a few seconds pass* "The fuck? Why am I not a cat right now?" He asked himself amazed that he wasn't a cat in her arms by now. What the hell was going on? He figured that he wouldn't knock it, but rather just go with it. He was happy to be in her arms and soon found himself wrapping his arms around her as well. He began shedding some silent tears, that he'd trained himself so that they would be silent, when he realized that this meant that they could actually be more than just friends. "Wow, I wasn't expecting this Kiki. Really, I was expecting something much different to have happened by now." He said telling the truth about how shocked he was that he wasn't a cat still. "Hey, Kiki. We can be more than friends, if you wouldn't mind being my girlfriend that is." He said feeling more confident in himself.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kikiyo realized what she'd done when it was too late. She was expecting to turn into a cat, but was extremely confused when she didn't turn into a cat. Extremely confused and even more so thankful. She thought she heard his breathing quicken the slightest bit when he hugged her back. He said that they could be more than just friends. That is, if she didn't mind being his girlfriend. Of course she didn't mind, that was kind of what she was aiming for anyways.

She pulled away from the hug slightly before she spoke. "I wouldn't mind that title at all. As long as you don't mind if you're my boyfriend." She paused seeing that he was crying, quieter than anyone she'd even seen. "Kyo, why are you crying, baby?" She asked using new terms. She wiped a tear from his face before she gave him another hug, still thinking that it was too good to be true.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kyo was so happy to hear that she wanted to be his girlfriend. He means, what could be better than showing someone your feelings for them and them feeling the same way about you. She had said that she'd be his girlfriend as long as he'd be her boyfriend. So, he wasn't single anymore? That was great to hear. He already didn't feel so alone as he did about twenty-four hours ago. He was already feeling as if that empty hole in the pit of his stomach was going to be closed up for good. So, what now? He supposed that talking would be a good idea.

"That title will definitely be an honor to hold, Kiki." He said looking at her. Shit, he probably exposed his tears. What was she going to say? Surely she didn't want some overly-emotional guy. A guy that cried when he was happy and when he was sad and when he was angry. Who could ever want that? "I'm only crying becoz I'm happy that...A: you're mine; and B: what I thought was going to happen didn't." He told her in reguards to her question of why he was crying. Would it be safe at this point to tell Kiki that he was cursed with the cat's vengeful spirit? And that he was confused as to why he hadn't transformed yet?

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kikiyo hadn't expected any of this to go as well as it had. She had also expected to be a cat by now. So, he was crying becoz he was happy that he wasn't alone anymore? Well, so was she. The last relationship she was in was in the long run, a huge mistake. She had been dating a guy, his name was Hiro, it was great at the beginning, but then he got violent. He abused her if she didn't get to a date on time, if she got smart with him, or if she didn't do exactly what he said. It took a midnight call to the police station, courtesy of Arisa, to end the whole ordeal. He'd been in juevy for about a year. She hoped that she'd never have to see him again.

"Well, what were you expecting to happen? Becoz I know that what I was expecting to happen definitely didn't. But, I'm really happy that it didn't. I don't know where we'd be right now if it did happen." Kikiyo told him giving him alot of subtle hints about how she was a cat anyways. How and when would she tell him? First, she'd have to find out why she hadn't transformed when she'd hugged him. Maybe he really was a member of the Zodiac. Who was she kidding? It just isn't normal for things to be that convenient for her. Really, it just wasn't the norm. She would have to ask her mother when she got home later. Hopefully, her mom wouldn't expect her home until later tonight. Meaning much later. It was only three 'o' clock, she had plenty of time to do some more experimenting. First thing's first, let's try a kiss and see how that goes. She leaned over, wiped the tears from his face, and gently pressed her lips to his.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kyo was definitely caught by surprize when Kiki had leaned over and kissed him. Wow, now if all else had failed to make him transform, then this definitely should. *waits a few moments thinking he'll turn into a purring cat any second now**nothing happens* Okay? What the hell was going on here? He should've been a cat fucking fifteen minutes ago. What was going on here? Was the universe on his side for once? There was only one other explanation, but she'd probably think he was crazy if she wasn't a member of the Zodiac.

For now, however, he wasn't about to miss out on this probably once in a lifetime chance. He began to kiss her back more passionately and putting his arms around her hips, pulling her onto his lap. Wow, what was he doing? Oh yeah, taking this amazing situation into his own hands. Man, what would he do if she didn't want to live it up like he did? He means, he was getting horny with her on his lap and the oppurtunity to do things he could never even imagine successfully. It was harder to do when you can't really gain any experience. Well, now was the time to experiment. He slid one of his hands down and grabbed her ass, somehow pulling her closer to him. He really hoped that she wouldn't mind. And he'd love it if she'd be willing to take things further.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kikiyo was absolutely ecstatic when she didn't turn into a cat when she kissed Kyo. Then he must've been planning of taking this situation into his own hands. Becoz no sooner did she kiss him, did he kiss her back and pull her onto his lap. She was comfy and was ready to go to the next level...or at least talk about what was going to come up on its own anyways. She wrapped her arms around his neck, being sort of misleading, before she pulled her lips away from his. She knew that she might seriously regret it in the long run. Y'know, not taking advantage of this, probably, one time dealy. Oh well, at least she'd be able to respect herself more than those stupid Yuki stalkers would.

"Kyo, I really like you...alot. And I would just love to take this further. But---" She paused thinking of how to explain it. "But, I just need some time to think about some important shit before we do this kind of stuff. Coz I don't really want anything weird or bad to happen while we're in the middle of the act. Y'know?" She hoped that he would understand exactly how she felt and wouldn't mind that she was putting this off. At least until she could talk to her mother about this really weird phenomena anyways. "Maybe after I think about that heavy stuff and maybe on our second date we could..." She cut her self off while stroking down his chest, giving a hint to what she meant.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kyo almost instantly grew sad when Kiki drew away from him. She must not feel the same way. Great, I just probably made a complete and utter fool out of myself. Or made myself appear to be a complete and total horn-dog. Lovely, just beautifully, wonderfully, great. When she'd pulled away however, she explained that she did feel the same way about him. The only thing was that she had some really heavy shit to think about. She did, on the other hand, imply that she did indeed want to pick up where they'd left off, but not today. This was at least some good news within this very jacked up situation.

"I understand how you must feel, I mean you probably don't want to seem like a slut that chases guys around. Y'know like the Yuki fan club girls?" He paused smiling at her. "Anyways, I've got some pretty heavy shit of my own to think about and talk to my cousin about. So, I wouldn't want any of that to ruin any of this." He concluded helping her up off of him. He stood up and leaned against a tree. "I'm guessing it's time for me to offer to walk you home. I wouldn't want you to get picked up by some creeper." Kyo laughed and offered his hand to Kiki.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kyo offered Kikiyo his hand. She took him up on his offer and placed her hand gently in his and intertwined their fingers. "Well, I guess I'll lead the way then." She assumed and started to walk with him out of the woods. She was happy about how her day had gone. She made friends with the new guy, the amazing new guy. She had herself a new boyfriend, whom happened to be the same amazing guy. And also, he understood the concept of 'no' or 'not right now'. Which just got him some major brownie points. Like seven for just that. So, he was way ahead of the other guys she had dated. Which she was definitely happy with. Becoz her last boyfriend had been a complete and total jerk. Like majorly, he also wasn't the best at controlling his temper. He'd hit her, multiple times, and left multiple bruises. She already knew that Kyo would never do that to her.

*Fifteen Minutes Later*
"Well, I guess this is goodbye, but only until tomorrow." She thought and then corrected herself. "Nevermind, goodbye is a farewell to say 'I'm never going to see you again'. I guess I'll just have to change my wording. Goodnight, love." She finished and then kissed him goodnight before going into her house. She was instantly greeted by her mother's warm voice. "And who were you with, darling?" She asked Kikiyo. "Oh, that was my boyfriend, Kyo. I know it seems fast, coz we just met each other to day becoz he just transferred here, but we completely hit it off." She paused looking at her mother's brooding look in her eyes. "I was worried about that too, but we hugged and we even kissed and I didn't go into kitty cat mode." She told her the truth, why would she lie there was no reason to. "Do you think that he may be one from the other family of the Zodiac?" She questioned me. "Yeah, I got the same vibes from him that Hanajima says that she gets from me. Maybe if I'm really lucky, he might even be the other Cat of the Zodiac." She paused. "Well, if there's no problem with the transforming thing, than I have absolutely no problem with him. As long as he isn't like the last douche bag you dated. I could've punched him in the throat." She had made Kikiyo laugh really hard. "Well, he's nothing like that, so there's no need to worry."

And just like that, all of Kikiyo's doubts about it had dissolved. She couldn't wait to see Kyo tomorrow.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kyo had taken his time getting home. Mostly becoz he wasn't looking forward to seeing that damned Yuki. Also, he wasn't exactly thrilled that he would have to talk to Shigure about Kiki. He slowly approached the front door to the house and took a deep breath before he slid the door open. "Hey, Shigure, the stupid cat's home." He heard Yuki yell to Shigure, whom was probably in his study working on another 'brilliant' novel. "So, what was Kikiyo-chan's face like when you turned into a cat in her arms?" Yuki asked Kyo teasingly, but with a hint of poison under that fake smile that he tried to show him. "Oh, that would be what would happen if you and Tohru were to embrace. However, we hugged and we even kissed and I didn't transform. So, there." Kyo shot back. "What?!" Both Yuki and Shigure, who had just come around the corner, exclaimed in total confusion. "That's exactly what I was thinking while it was happening." He confessed to them. "Kyo, do you realize what this means?" Shigure waited for him to nod in response. "It means that you have definitely encountered one of the Zodiac animals from the other family." Shigure paused again. "Did she feel similiar...I mean like on a spiritual level. Did her vibes seem to not even show up?" "Yeah, I really didn't get any animal vibes from her that's why I was confused when we embraced and kissed and nothing happened." Kyo answered not knowing where Shigure was going with this. "In that case, not only have you met one of the other Zodiac members, you have met your similar. You've met the female incarnation of the Cat's spirit." Shigure paused again. "You've nothing to worry about." He finished before retreating back to the study.

"I hate you so much, you stupid cat." Yuki yelled at him, jealous of his ability to hug his girlfriend. "Why, becoz I can connect with my girlfriend more than you can?" Kyo had the smuggest look on his face that he'd had in a long while. "You know what? I don't understand why the universe is so kind to you when your animal doesn't even belong in the Zodiac." Yuki said standing up and getting into his fighting stance. "Well, I guess you'll just have to talk to the universe like that." Kyo told him smiling balling his hands into fists. Yuki came at him the same fast way that he always did before he kicked Kyo in the chin. Kyo, with expert timing, dodged the kick and then continued to kick him in the stomach through the front door. "You might want to fix that." Kyo said retreating to the roof. Today, was an amazing day.

[Amber Lyn Annihilation]

Kikiyo dreamt of her and Kyo connecting more than they had yesterday. Her mind wondered as she slept. It wondered through their last three years of high school. And farther. It wondered through all the partying they would do...with each other...during college. Further even, her mind painted the picture of a pair of twins, one boy and one girl. They would both naturally be Cat's. The girl grew to have bright purple hair and beautiful golden eyes, while her younger brother grew to have hair that was as bright as Kyo's, with blue fringe at the ends of every hair on his head, along with Kyo's bright orange eyes. Everything seemed to fly by in her dream world. From what could happen tomorrow to what could happen in eight years. Like children and marriage.

She woke up around noon, which was okay for today becoz she didn't have to be on school grounds until one today. It was the class field trip that everybody was buzzing about. They were supposedly going to Tokyo to take in the sites of the big big city. Should be interesting. They usually let us off the bus and let us roam until its time to leave wherever we're at. Which could come to her, Kyo's, and all of her friends' best of luck. Tohru always wanted to include Yuki in everything that they did. And for a while she was jealous becoz, let's face it, Yuki was pretty hot. However, when Kyo walked awkwardly into her life yesterday, she figured that Tohru was the one that should be jealous now. Becoz Kyo was that absolutely dreamy in that tough-guy-that's-socially-awkward-and-not-great-at-expressing-his-emotions kind of way. So, they definitely went together well.

She leapt out of bed and flung her closet doors open. Since they were going on a field trip today, there was no reason for anybody to wear their uniforms. Whoo-hoo. She grabbed her favorite pairs of skinnies, they were grey-black intricately bleached designed, her black shirt that was decorated with neon skulls on it that hung off both of her shoulders, and her favorite pair of bright blue knee-high Converse. She teased her hair up and did her makeup to match her outfit. She grabbed her camera and messenger bag before she left the house and ran to school. She was absolutely ecstatic about the trip, but was even more excited about seeing Kyo.
