Chapter Four:

“You Ended Up Here, How?”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*

Recap:

“Looks nice. Is Shigure in?” She nodded happily. “Where are you all off to?”

“My house. Sleep over!”

“Lovely. Give my sympathy to Suki.” He rolled the window back up and drove on.

“Who is Suki?” Yuki asked.

“Suki is my maid. He seems to think the poor girl is cursed to have me to look after, but she does a lovely job. Look, there's James!” She picked up her bags again and walked to the limo that had pulled upon the side walk. The others followed her in. the drive to her house was short, but full of laughs at the look on Tohru's face when Alix showed them the bar fridge in the limo.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*

Alix lead her three guests up to her bedroom. She put her school bag on her bed and put her new dresses away in her closet.

“Tohru can sleep in my bed with me, and we can get two more in from the spare rooms. I don't mind having boys in my room, just not in my bed”

“Whatever,” Kyo said as he walked over to her bed and lay down on it.

“Listen here, Silly Kitty. That's my bed and me and Tohru are sleeping in it. You can sleep on one of the spares.” She said grabbing him by his feet and dragging him off the bed and on to the floor. He landed with a thud.

“That's not fair you stupid bitch!”

“All's fair in love and war, my dumb cat.” She nudged his foot. “Come help me drag the spare beds in.”

“Why not the servants?”

“I gave them the night off. It's more fun with out them. Hey… do you guys like pizza?”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Downstairs in the kitchen, Alix opened the fridge and stood in front of it. She was inspecting it for pizza ingredients. She hadn't found any, but she found enough stuff for Sundaes and other desserts.

The other three were sitting at the island in the middle of the kitchen.

“I don't know how the Japanese usually do sleep overs, but were gonna do it the American way!”

“What's the American way?” asked Yuki.

“The American way. Eating cookie dough, pigging out on sundaes and ice cream and making weird deserts and watching horror movies, especially on stormy nights. Which tonight isn't.”

“No wonder most Americans are fat.” Kyo said.

“I'm American and I have sleep overs almost every weekend. Are you calling me fat?”

“Maybe.”

“I know a dumb cat who is sleeping on the floor tonight.”

“Aw, Shuddup.”

“That's it. I'm fat. I'm starving myself.”

“You're pathetic,” he muttered.

“What ever. Do you guys wanna make sundaes?”

“Sure,” Tohru replied as Yuki glared at his cousin. Alix disappeared into a cupboard and pulled out some deep dishes. She went into another cupboard and pulled out some glasses. She went back to the fridge and pulled out several bags of M&Ms, chocolate melts, jelly, chocolate sauce, nuts, fruit, and some ice cream. Then she pulled out a couple of bottles of Coke. (Good stuff ^.^ )

She took the food out into the living room and came back and grabbed the dishes. She grabbed some spoons and knifes and motioned for them to follow her.

Yuki, Kyo and Tohru followed Alix into the living room. She had put all the food on the coffee table between the sofa and the huge television. She told them to help themselves and opened a bag of M&M's for herself. She tipped them on to the table and began to make a picture with them, while the others made their sundaes. She ended up making a rainbow, starting from a brown ground into a blue cloud. When she finished she went over to the TV and looked through the large selection of DVD's she had. She wanted a funny one so she decided on Mel Brook's Robin Hood, Men In Tights. It was one of her favourites.

She turned on the TV and popped the disc into the player. She came back over with the remote and made herself comfortable on the sofa.

“Why aren't you making one?” Yuki asked.

“Because I said I was gonna starve my self.”

“Alix, come on, you're not fat. I never said you were.” Kyo groaned at her.

“And you never said I wasn't, either.”

“Come on, eat…or you'll have to give rat boy a blow job.”

“Rather give him one than you.” She said cheekily.

“You're supposed to be my girlfriend.”

“Only at school, my Silly Kitty. So I can still date Yuki, just behind their backs.”

“Come on you're not fat. There, I said you aren't and I mean it. Come on eat with us.”

“Alright.” She grabbed a spoon and dug into Kyo's sundae.

“Hey that's mine!” he said moving it out of her reach.

“I'm too lazy to make my own. Can I please share with you?”

“No. Make your own.”

“But I wanna eat yours.” She pouted at him and gave him her best puppy-dog-eyes. “Please?”

“That's something Kira never did,” Yuki said suddenly.

Alix smirked. “Another factor that proves I'm not her. Fine I'll make my own.”

“Good,” Kyo said moving his sundae back onto the table where Alix snatched it and moved it away. She held it ransom, away from his reach.

“Alix, that's not fair!” he whined at her.

“Fine. You want it back?”

He nodded impatiently. “Yes!”

“Kiss me.”

“No.”

“Then you don't get it back,” she smirked at him and began eating his dessert. She licked the back of the spoon seductively, and yet again Kyo felt his blood rush downward again. She licked the spoon clean, tracing her tongue lazily over the metal surface.

Kyo groaned in frustration. “Why are you doing this?””

“Because I can. If you don't kiss me, you don't get it back.”

“What if I don't want to kiss you?”

“Fine.” She gave him his sundae back and sat back on the sofa, this time with a handful of M&M's.

“What are you doing now?” he asked as she focused her attention on the screen, nibbling slowly on the M&M's.

“Sulking. Don't worry about me.”

She played the movie, not missing the sad look in his eyes, before watching the comedy.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Halfway through the movie, Tohru had moved onto the sofa. Kyo was sitting on the floor in front of Alix, as she ran her hand through his hair. Yuki was sitting in front of Tohru, idly playing with her ankle. Alix smiled. Those two weren't so open about showing their affections.

She rested her head on the arm rest, her hand dropping to the top of Kyo's ear.

Her favourite bit of the movie came on. The song that the Merry Men sing after Little John comes out of the outhouse.

She sang a long, smiling at the look that Yuki gave her.

When the movie finished, Alix noted that they had drunk almost four litres of coke between them, her and Kyo drinking the most.

When she looked at the others, she realised that she had her legs over Kyo shoulder as he sat on the ground in front of her, with him tracing patterns on the top of her feet. Yuki had his head on Tohru's folded up legs and Tohru was playing with the small tug of hair at his nape. She smiled at the room before moving her legs to let Kyo know that she wanted to move.

“Come on silly Kitty, move. Let me up.”

“fine.” He released her legs and moved forward so that she could stand up. She walked over to the video player and selected another DVD. Space balls, by Mel brooks. When she came back, after swapping the discs over, she found that Kyo was now sitting in her seat with a smirk on his face.

“Meanie!” she said sticking her tongue out at him.

“Yep. You called me that stupid name again.” He pointed to the floor in front of him. “Sit there.”

“But it's my couch. I want to sit on it.”

“Tough. Sit on the floor.”

Alix pouted but did sit on the floor beside Yuki.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After a few more Mel Brooks movies, Tohru began to nod off slightly.

Alix smiled. “Come on, it's probably three. Might as well get the beds ready.”

“Alright. Come on Tohru,” Yuki said, helping Tohru to stand. Alix smiled and set to work cleaning up the mess they had created during the movies.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Upstairs, Alix helped Tohru into the large water bed and turned to the two boys.

“I have no problem with you sleeping in my room, just not in the same bed as me.”

They nodded and followed her into another room, where between the three of them, they pulled two more beds into her room. She made the beds, having a small pillow fight with the two boys.

“I hate being an only child.” She said as she collapsed on the bed Kyo was about to sit on.

“Why do you say that?” Yuki asked sitting on the bed beside her.

“Because I have no one to do all his with. I'm by myself most of the time, because my parents are always at work.” She sighed, looking at her orange haired friend who was waiting rather impatiently for her to get off the bed he had chosen for the remainder of the morning. “Sorry”

Kyo watched her as she grabbed some clothes from her closet and disappeared into the adjoining bathroom, closing the door behind her.

“Kira isn't an only child. She has Seth.”

“I know she's not Kira. She proved that to me.” Kyo said looking at the many photo frames he had found on her desk.

Other than the pictures she had drawn. There were also many photos containing five teenage girls; two with black hair, one of which was Alix, a brunette, a red head, and a blonde all smiling happily. Kyo didn't remember Kira ever having any of those friends.

The bathroom door opened, and Alix came out dressed in a pair of sweat pants and a tight black tank top. She smiled at both of them before kissing both of them on the cheek. She walked over to her bed and slid in, pulling the blankets up over her.

“Night guys,” she said softly, clapping her hands, making the lights turn off.

“Good Night Alix,” Yuki said smiling her way. He and Kyo changed into their sleeping cloths and sat on their beds.

“Do you know why Kira left us?” Kyo asked.

“No. No one knows why she did. Not even Hatori knows. He was the last person to see her.” He sighed, looking at the sleeping beauties. “Do you still love Kira?”

“She's gone. I haven't seen her in almost five years.”

“Do you like Alix?”

“I don't know. She is so much like Kira it isn't funny.”

“But she's also very different from her too.”

“Yeah, I know.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

That morning the four teens slept in till 10 am. One of the maids had come in to open the curtains slightly to let some light into the dark room. She smiled at the sleeping figures and left the room.

Alix woke to the sound of material shuffling. She knew it was the maid coming into open the curtains. She was still tired so she snuggled back into the firm embrace she was in.

Arms! Around me! Holy sit!

Her eyes snapped open at the realisation that they didn't belong to Tohru. They were male.

She lifted the covers to see the arms wrapped firmly around her hips. Oh. My. God.

She couldn't see her hugger, but she had a feeling it was Kyo. The arms tightened their hold, pulling her back against a lean, well toned body. A naked body. A hot breath tickled the back of her neck, sending shivers down her spine and making her stomach feel funny. That was too much for her. She yanked the arms off her and scooted out of the bed real fast. When she turned around there was a disgruntled Kyo looking at her tiredly.

“You ended up here how?!” she asked loudly, shocked that he was in her bed.

He blinked sleepily. “Stop your bitching.” He closed his eyes.

“You are in my fricken bed! You weren't there earlier!” She hissed at him.

“Alix?” Came Yuki's voice. Her head snapped towards him. He was sitting up in his bed, looking at her strangely.

“Kyo is in my bed! He was in bed with me! How do I know that we didn't do anything?”

“You're still dressed, if that helps.”

“No. It doesn't. I have never had a guy in my bed. Ohmigod! The maid. She saw us. I am so in shit for this.”

While Alix rambled on, Yuki got out of bed and was standing beside her. Kyo had fallen back asleep, and Tohru had just woken up in the bed Kyo was supposed to be sleeping in.

“Alix cam down,” Yuki said, standing in front of her.

“The maid saw us. She will tell my parents. They will kill me.”

“Alix nothing happened. You have nothing to worry about.”

“You tell my parents that. I live with my parents I know what they're like.”

“It will be fine.”

Alix groaned and disappeared into the bathroom. After five minutes she came back out in a bathrobe. She glared at the sleeping Kyo and walked into her closet. She came back out dressed in a deep red halter top, and long black pants.

“Do you guys wanna change then we'll have breakfast. Leave him there.” She walked over to her desk and picked up her brush. She brushed her blonde hair til it shone. She put it into two braids. As she did so, Tohru went into the bathroom to change. Yuki watched her as she put her make up on, amused at how she put it on. When Tohru finished Yuki went into the bathroom.

When Yuki came out, Alix led them downstairs. She left Kyo there. She wasn't in the mood to talk to him right now. Downstairs in the kitchen the chef was preparing a breakfast of Bacon, eggs, some rice and some muso soup. A bowl of coco-pops was also siting on the counter.

“I didn't know what you guys liked, so the other stuff is for you.” Alix said sitting in front of the bowl of cereal. She poured some milk over it and began eating it as the other food was placed in front of Yuki and Tohru.

Half way through breakfast Kyo came down stairs. He had changed into day clothes as well, and sat down beside Alix. Alix, who had finished her bowl of cereal, took her empty bowl to the sink and rinsed it.

The maid came in and told Alix that her parents had already left for work.

“Hey, Suki,” Alix said to her retreating back.

“Yes?” she asked turning back around.

“Um…this morning. You haven't told my parents yet have you?”

“No I haven't. But I did tell Mr Sohma.”

Alix eyes widened. “You told Hari! Why?”

“He was curious to know what the yelling was.”

“Holy shit. My room is soundproof. How did he hear it?”

“I had left the door open a bit. He didn't seem upset by it. Actually he seemed glad.”

“The bastard would.” She grumbled.

“Nice to know you have such a high opinion of me still,” Hatori said as he entered the kitchen.

“What are you still doing here?”

“We had an appointment at 10 this morning. I take it you forgot.”

“No. Not now. Tomorrow.” She pleaded with him.

“Today. I have never allowed you to reschedule before, I will not start now.”

Alix frowned, close to tears. “I haven't told them yet. And I don't want to. Can we please do this tomorrow? Please?”

“No. We will do it today. The others can leave the room and do something else.”

“I hate you.”

“Yes, I know. Come along. You three stay down here. I catch any of you upstairs and you will know about it.” He led Alix upstairs into a spare room.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“I wonder what they were talking about?” Kyo asked, eating his breakfast. The sad look in Alix's eyes had startled him. She always seemed happy.

“I don't know. But I don't think we should ask either. If Alix wants us to know, she will tell us.” Yuki said, looking at the door they had left through.

“What ever. Why the fuck was she so worked up this morning?”

“Well, it would seem she has never been with a guy.”

“I wonder why,” he mumbled, and continued eating his breakfast.

“You know Kyo, it wouldn't kill you to be nicer to her.”

“If you be nice, they get attached to you.”

“You say that likes she's a dog. I will be glad once she gets over you.”

“Sure you will. I wonder what that bastards here for.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

An hour passed before Alix and Hatori returned to the kitchen. Alix was frowning and had been crying recently. She had a handkerchief in her hand and was glaring at Hatori's back as she walked in after him. Hatori turned around to kiss the top of her head and turned to the others.

“Pester her and I will know about it.” He turned back to Alix. “I will see you in a week.”

She nodded and stuck her finger up at his back as he left the kitchen. She turned to the others. “Sorry about that. I completely forgot he was coming over.”

“What the hell was he doing here?” Kyo asked her.

She looked at him confused. “I don't understand.”

“That's Hatori. He's our cousin. What the hell was he doing here?”

“He's my doctor. He…he helps me with some things. I don't want to talk about it yet. I'm not ready.” She frowned further at the look Kyo was giving her. “Please, I will tell you. Just not yet. Let's get you guys back to your house. I need to speak with my parents and it won't be pretty.” She led them all back upstairs to pack their bags again and to the limo where they were driven to Shigure's house.

Wheeyuuu! Finally this chapter is finished. This one took me the most time so far. I didn't know whether or not to put the last bit in, but I gave in to the voices in my head. All will be revealed in due time. I will not give anything away, you will just have to keep reading to find out.

Please review, otherwise I won't post again nor will I post another chapter for Inu Yasha and Miroku either.

Love to all midgets, except Tashikola because she is evil!
