Chapter Seven:

What A Cute Kitty

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

Recap:

They arrived at Shigure's, and they both took Tohru's bags inside. When they got inside, Shigure made a noise to grab her attention. She turned to him, but Yuki came up to her and whispered something into her ear. She dropped the bags she was holding.

“He what?!”

 

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

 

Alix rushed upstairs to his Kyo's room. After opening the door, she found his room empty. His bed was made and a piece of paper on his pillow. She snatched the paper up and read it. Only one word was written on the paper.

Goodbye.

Alix screamed and scrunched the letter up into a ball. Yuki was standing behind her and was very surprised when she dropped to the floor. She stayed how she was, and ignored everyone that tried to talk to her. A couple of hours passed, and she still hadn't moved. She hadn't shed any tears, but she hadn't said any thing either. Hatori came up and was sitting beside her. He was talking to her about how stupid she was being. She didn't say any thing to him either.

The sun set and Alix still hadn't moved. She had refused dinner and the drink of peppermint tea she was offered. After she was left alone she climbed onto his bed and curled up into a ball, holding his pillow tightly.

Hatori went back up stairs to check on her after he and the others had eaten their dinner. He smiled when he found her asleep. He tucked her in and left her there, closing the door behind him after he left.

 

The next morning Alix woke to noise down stairs. She was hungry, because she hadn't eaten anything the day before. She walked into the bathroom, and brushed her teeth using Kyo's toothbrush. She ran her fingers through her hair, and walked downstairs, allowing her nose to take her in the direction of the delicious smell wafting out of the kitchen.

Tohru greeted her cheerfully and offered her a plate of breakfast. Alix took it and thanked her. She sat down at the table beside Shigure. Using her chopsticks, she gave him her fried egg, and snatched his bacon. He was unaware of it, as he was reading his newspaper. Momiji however, had caught the action, and decided her wanted her egg, so he snatched it of Shigure's plate. Alix smiled at him, and began eating her breakfast. Yuki came downstairs and greeted Alix, and the others, before taking his breakfast off Tohru and sitting beside Alix.

“So Alix, what are we going to do about your Silly Kitty?” Shigure asked as he put his newspaper down.

“Don't know. At the moment I don't care. I'm just hungry.” She replied. “If he wants to leave, that's his choice. It's obvious he doesn't feel the same way about me. Now I know how he felt about Kira. Although, I could understand why she left him. I want to go home and put my purchases away. Tohru, do you want to come over? I want some one to talk to.”

Tohru nodded, and so did Momiji. Alix smiled and waited for them to get ready while she took her plate into the kitchen. When they were ready, they said good bye to the others and made their way down the long path to the street. Half way down the path, Alix spotted Kyo walking through the forest. He didn't seem aware that they were walking along the path. Alix decided it was now or never. She stopped the others, and yelled out.

“Kyo Sohma, get your ass here now!” He turned around to face her. Even though they at lest a 100 meters away from each other, she could see his face clearly. He turned to leave. But she yelled out again.

“You leave now and I will never forgive you. You've caused me more pain than the car accident. Get over here now!” He stopped and shook his head and continued walking. “KYO! You're pissing me off. I hope to god I never see your face again!” She screamed and turned back to the others. “Let's go. I really need to go home now. They nodded and followed her home. When Alix got home, she stormed up to her room and began pulling pictures off her wall. Momiji picked one of them up to see that it was a picture of Kyo. Actually all of them were of Kyo. He thought they were wonderful pictures and didn't want her destroying them. Also, she was tearing some of her other pictures. He nodded to Tohru who managed to get her away from the wall and sit her on her bed. Momiji continued to remove the pictures, but at a slower and more careful pace. When he had removed all pictures of Kyo, he put them in a pile on her desk. He walked over to her and sat beside her on the bed.

“Alix. He does love you.” He said sadly. All the Sohma's knew that Kyo loved Alix.

“He has a funny way of showing it. I'm going back to America. I thought that if I came here, I would leave the pain behind. Well I did. But I just found more. He has caused me so much pain. I dumped Haru, because he demanded that I do, and now he's sulking, ashamed from his actions. I leaving, and that's that. I'm sick of this place.”

“But Alix you've been here less than a year.” Tohru pointed out.

“Long enough to have my heart shattered. I love him. He treated me like shit, but I still went back to him. He was my first love, and my last. I will never fall in love again.”

“You have no control over love Alix. It just happens.”

“I'll make sure it won't happen. I'm sorry. I'm being all whiny. How bout we go raid the fridge. I think I have cheesecake in there somewhere.” She jumped back off the bed and ran downstairs. Momiji and Tohru followed, but at a slower speed. In the kitchen Tohru and Momiji found Alix in front of an open fridge, looking through its contents.

 

After lunch, Tohru and Momiji went home. Alix was now at home by herself. She went up to her room to lie down. The pictures she had torn off her wall were missing. She had no idea where they went, and she couldn't care less. Instead of lying down, she pulled her suitcase down from the top of her closet. She propped it open on the bed and went through her clothes, putting her favorites in the case. She went about carefully taking down her other pictures, making sure not to tear them. She put them in a neat pile and put them in a box. She could hear a car pull into the drive way, and she knew it was some one come to stop her from leaving. She quickly locked the door, and continued. No one was talking her out of leaving. She pulled another suitcase down and put all of her photo frames and possessions in it. Loud knocking on her door had her turning around to make sure it was locked.

“Alix. Stop this nonsense right now,” said Hatori through the door. She ignored him and returned to the task at hand. Hatori continued to knock, and talk to her through the door. Finally she finished and closed her suitcases. She moved them to beside the door.

“Alix open the door. We need to talk.”

“Sorry. Alix isn't home right now. This is her phone speaking, if you'd like to leave a massage I'll be sure to text it to her for you.” She said sarcastically. She flopped down on her bed and closed her eyes. “Hatori go away.”

“I will not allow this nonsense to continue. You are not leaving. Open the door please.”

“I am leaving. You can't stop me. I'm sick of this place.”

“Alix, please open the door.”

“No can do. I'm leaving that's final.”

“If this is about Kyo…”

“No. I'm just sick of this place. Japan sucks. The people suck, and Kyo sucks.”

“So this is about Kyo. Please open the door. This nonsense has to stop here.”

Alix sighed heavily. She rolled onto her side and grabbed her phone. She dialed her travel agency to arrange a ticket. Hatori heard her through the door and sighed.

“Alix. Stop this now. Please. This has to stop. You are being childish.”

“Well, if being childish means this mess stops, then I'm all for it. I'm sick of this place. Go away.” She heard him sigh and walk away. She spoke to her agent and arranged a ticket for Monday night. She gave her details and hung up. She heard talking outside her door. She knew it was Suki and Hari. Next thing she knew her door was being hammered on.

“Alix get your butt out here now!” Suki yelled through the door. “You are not leaving and that's final!”

“Hi Suki. Yes I'm leaving. You can come if you want.”

There was silence on the other side, but after a loud sigh Suki's voice came back through.

“Hari won't let me. Come on, just come out. Please! If this is about that orange haired boy….Kyo, you are so in for it.”

“This isn't about Kyo. I just want to leave.”

“Alix, if you do not come out, I will ring your parents.” Hatori said. Alix's eyes widened. He wouldn't.

“You wouldn't dare.” She said uncertainly. “You don't have their number any way.”

Hatori recited the number, and soon enough Alix was at her door unlocking it. She swung it open.

“Don't call my parents. I won't leave.”

Hatori smiled softly. “I thought as much. Now, unpack your things, and I want you downstairs in twenty minutes.” He said before leaving.

Alix made a face at his retreating back but did as she was told.

 

Alix got off easy. She had explained what had happened earlier that day, and Hatori had listened with out saying any thing. He made her cancel her flight and eat an early dinner before taking her over to the Sohma's, along with Suki. She was at down at the table and made to apologize to Tohru and Momiji for scaring them. After ten minutes Hatori went outside and about an hour later, came back with a ruffled Kyo. When he saw Alix his eyes widened, and he turned to leave again. After a quick heated discussion with his older cousin, Kyo growled, but headed upstairs. Hatori told her to go up with him, and sort things out. She glared at him, and refused. He pulled his phone out, threatening to call her parents. She swore at him, but got to her feet and went upstairs. She found Kyo in his room, sitting on his window sill. She came in and closed the door. She went over to his bed and sat down on it.

“I guess he wants us to talk.”

Kyo remained silent, and continued his staring. After ten minutes of silence, Alix stood up and went over to him. When she saw his face she frowned. His eyes were red, and watery. He was close to crying. She grabbed his hand in hers and bought it to her chest.

“Kyo. I know what happened. You should have just told me how you felt.”

He tried to pull his hand back, but she held it tight. “Kyo. Please talk to me. I want to work this out. I love you. Damn it Kyo. Talk to me. I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I want to be with you. Tell me what you want.”

“I want this to end.” He said finally.

“I see. Okay then. That was all you had to say. I'm sorry.” She kissed his hand and put it down on his lap. She turned to leave, but he grabbed her hand, entwining his fingers with hers. He pulled her back.

“Not us. This torment. It's driving me insane. I want us to work too.” He said softly, as he continued to stare out the window. He rubbed his thumb gently over hers. “I'm sorry. For putting you through all that pain. I didn't want to. I hate my self for it and I will never forgive myself either.”

“I forgive you. Kyo I love you. I want to be with you. Just promise me that you won't do it again.”

“I can't. I don't know what I'll do. I love you.”

She smiled and kissed him gently. He kissed her back, allowing his other hand to fall to her hip.

“Does this mean we're back together now?”

“If you want it to.” He said softly. She smiled and hugged him tightly.

POOF

Once the cloud had cleared from her vision, she saw an orange cat sitting on the windowsill, in Kyo's clothes. The cat's fur was the same color as Kyo's hair. Alix screamed in shock, and passed out.

 

Hatori heard the scream from Kyo's room, and ran upstairs. He found Kyo, in his zodiac form sitting on the window sill, while Alix lay on the floor. He frowned.

“What happened? Did she hug you?”

Kyo remained silent, staring at Alix's form.

“Kyo. What happened?” He asked again as he moved Alix to the bed and laid her down. “Kyo?”

“She's going to hate me.”

“Kyo. Don't talk like that. Just go into the bathroom till you transform back.”

Kyo grabbed his clothes in his teeth and exited the room and went into the bathroom. The others came upstairs quietly.

Shigure poked his head in the door. “Is she okay?”

“She passed out. Some one go and tell Kyo it's not his fault. He is in the bathroom. Tohru could you please get a glass of water, I don't want any one other than Suki in here please.”

Suki entered the room as every one else left. Suki knew what was going on. Even though she had yet to see it, she knew it happened. She sat on the bed beside Alix and moved some hair from the girls face.

“You're not going to…?” she asked him.

“No. Of course not. She's been through enough. Let's just hope she understands.”

Alix started to stir as Tohru returned with a glass of water. Tohru was allowed to stay with her.

“My head hurts.” Alix groaned as she opened her eyes.

“You passed out. What do you remember?”

“I hugged Kyo…and he turned into…. Omigod he turned into a cat! I'm dreaming. Am I dreaming.”

“No Alix, you are not dreaming. It's real. And I think its time we explained it to you.”

Hatori explained the curse of the zodiac to Alix. She was curious about it, about who of the Sohma's transformed as well. She ended up correcting him once or twice about the old fairy tale. But she seemed completely okay with it.

“If you are okay with it, why did you pass out?” Suki asked. “Wait. What did he look like?”

“The cat in my dreams and the cat that I drew. He looks exactly like the cat. It was just shock. Nothing else.” She looked around for the orange feline. “Where is he?”

“In the bathroom. He'll be out in a minute. You need to tell him that you are okay with it.”

“Okay with it? I think it's awesome!” she jumped off the bed and ran for the bathroom. After getting in the bathroom, she found Kyo back to his normal self sitting on the floor of the shower. He was fully dressed. He looked up as she came over to him. He backed away from her, but she wouldn't have it. Instead she hugged him tightly.

POOF

She held the orange cat close to her chest patting him gently.

“Aww. What a cute kitty. Aren't you just the cutest thing!” She squealed happily.

Kyo struggled to get away from her. “Let go of me.”

“No, Kyo I love you. I don't care if you turn into a cat as long as I can hug you when ever I want.”

“You're okay with it?” he asked softly, stopping his struggling and looking up at her.

“Yes I'm okay with it Silly Kitty. Hey I guess that name is gonna stick now. You are so cute!”

“Let me go already.”

Alix sighed, but kissed his head and put him on the floor.

POOF

Once the cloud vanished, Alix was looking at a very naked Kyo. Her eyes widened.

“Um…wow?” she said shakily. “Hari didn't tell me you transform naked. I guess I could live with that though. You have a great body.”

Kyo just sighed as he pulled his clothes on again for the second time that day.

“Horny virgin,” he muttered.

“I heard that Silly Kitty. Hey, there are thirteen members of the zodiac. Oooh! Who's the rabbit?” she asked jumping to her feet and looking at the other three Sohma's at the bathroom door. Momiji smiled at her.

“That would be me.”

“Oh! Kawaii! Can I hug you?”

“Not today Alix,” said Hatori from behind his cousins. “Maybe tomorrow. Right now you and Kyo need to talk.”

“But we did. We're cool. Hey what animal is Haru?” she looked at Shigure. “You're the dog.”

“How did you guess?”

“Dunno. Ohmigod! It's you guys I've been drawing!”

“Yes. How about we go downstairs for some tea.” Hatori said, heading down the stairs to the living room. The three girls and the other Sohma's followed Hatori downstairs. At the table in the living room, Alix sat herself in Kyo's lap, with his arms wrapped tight around her. Momiji sat next to her playing thumb wars with her while Tohru made some tea.

Alix was chatting excitedly with Momiji about the zodiac curse, about who transformed into which animal. After the Sohma's ate dinner, Hatori decided it was time to go. Alix pouted at him.

“Can Kyo stay over tonight? Please?”

“It's not up to me.” He said simply.

“Suki, can he stay over, he can come to school tomorrow. Pleeeaase?”

Suki sighed and gave in. “Okay, he can stay over, but he better get his stuff like now.”

Alix beamed at her and grabbed Kyo's hand and dragged him upstairs to his room. Once she opened the door, she leapt onto his bed. He shook his head at her as he went about getting his stuff for the next day. When he finished he went over to his bed.

“Are you sniffing my pillow again?”

“But it smells like you. I like it. We better go, or Suki will change her mind.” She kissed him quickly and ran out of his room and downstairs again. He followed her at his normal pace and wasn't surprised to see Alix begging Shigure to hug him. His older cousin said no. Alix frowned, and pouted at him. When Suki saw Kyo waiting, she told Alix to get her butt outside. Kyo followed, and Alix slipped her hand in his. She smiled up at him.

“I love you,” she whispered.

“Yeah, I love you too.” He whispered back.

It was still sun out when they left, so they decided to walk to Alix's. When they got there the sun had just set. Alix lead him up to her room.

Kyo saw her wall bare, and free of pictures, and her dresser empty.

“Where's all your stuff?” he asked, putting his bag on her desk.

“Ah, that. I kinda wanted to leave. Hari talked me out of it. I haven't put everything back yet. I'm not going any more,” she added when he frowned. He nodded and picked up one of her drawings that were in the now open box. It happened to be the one of the cat and the little girl.

“It's weird, knowing that I was drawing you all along. But I still think they're cute. Hey, you gonna tell me who turns into what?”

“No. You can find out for yourself. Tohru did.”

“Okay. I wish Hari had told me about transforming naked. Mind you, I didn't mind the view.”

“You are a horny virgin. I don't know what I'll do with you.”

“Well,” she said as she walked over to him, sitting on the desk in front of him. She pulled the bottom of his shirt up, showing her his lean stomach. “You could fuck me senseless.”

“Nope. That is when your 25. Not before. I'm thirsty, got any milk?”

“Hey, if I hug you, and you turn into a cat, will you drink it out of a saucer?”

“Hell no. And you ain't hugging me either.”

“Oh, but I think you make a cute kitty. Please? I'll rub your tummy.”

“Hmm, tempting, but no. Not happening.”

“Oh, you're so mean to me.” She said, moving her hands to his hips. “Alright. You can have some milk, but I wanna kiss first.”

Kyo shook his head, rolling his eyes but leaned in. Alix stopped him, ran to the door and locked it. She went back to him, and sat back as she had been. He raised an eyebrow at her.

“Some one always interrupts.” She said before crashing her lips to his. He kissed back eagerly, moving his hands to rest on her hips. Alix felt a small amount of pain when he applied some pressure to her hips. She winced and pulled away. He looked her strangely.

“Are you okay?” he asked, removing his hands from where they rested.

“Yeah, I think I might have a bruise or two there, let me check.” She kissed him again before going into the bathroom and closing the door. When she came back out, she was wearing her sleeping clothes. She frowned at him, before lying down on her bed. He looked at her, before taking his bag into the bathroom and changing. He came back out in a singlet and boxers. He chucked his bag onto the ground at the end of her bed, before sliding on next to her.

“So?” He asked. “Any bruises?”

She nodded.

“Are they bad?”

She shook her head quickly.

“Can I see?” Alix bit her lip, but did lower the side of her trackies so he could see the five finger bruises adorning her hip. He winced. “Ouch. They must hurt.”

“Yeah. A little bit. It's okay. I'll live.”

“How did you get them?” he asked, lightly tracing one of them.

“You wouldn't want to know.”

“Yeah, I do actually. How did you get them?”

Alix sighed. “On Friday. You gave them to me.” She frowned as he removed his hand, and moved back slightly. “Kyo, its okay. I've forgiven you.” She pulled her pants back up.

“I haven't forgiven myself.”

“I know. Come on. We'll get some milk.” She slid off the bed and motioned for him to do the same.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Alix poured Kyo a glass of milk, and some orange juice for herself. She drank hers slowly, while Kyo finished his quite quickly. She poured him another one, smiling at him.

“You sure you won't drink it out of a saucer?” she asked as she handed it to him.

He shook his head. “No.”

“Okay then. Just making sure.” She smiled at him, before finishing her drink and rinsing it. She rinsed Kyo's empty glass as well, and led him back upstairs. She closed the door and slid into bed, pulling the cover up over her body. Kyo glanced around in hope of a spare bed, but didn't find any. He frowned, and got into the bed beside Alix. He rolled on his side away from her. Alix whimpered, clapping the lights off and moving so her back was touching Kyo's. She fell into a deep sleep, and didn't notice Kyo turn around, and pull her back into his chest before he fell asleep.

 

Another chapter done and ready to post. This story has lasted the longest so far. It hasn't decided to disappear on me like my last ones, thank goodness. I told you they would get back together, not to mention her reaction to his transforming. That was kinda my reaction to the anime, so I put it in.

 

Ja Ne

 

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