poof? what? poof?

kyo blinked,

blurry eyed, looking up from where he was sitting on the floor.

orange smoke was slowly fading away and he realized something.. a

very bad something. he was no longer human. he was a cat! an orange

furred, red eyed cat!

he blinked his cat

eyes,

iefly letting his

ain adjust to the sudden change from

human vision to cat vision, and looked at tohru, who was sitting

beside him with wide eyes. her hands were over her open mouth and

there was a bit of blood trickling from her forehead. how had that

happened? she looked so shocked and confused that if this were a

normal moment, kyo would have laughed. but now was not the time for

laughter.

"k... kyo-kun!"

she finally gasped out when he didn't say anything. she was on the

verge of a major tohru freak out. then it came. "oh my gosh,

kyo-kun, you're a cat! a cat! d-d-did i hit you in the wrong places

or something?? oh my gosh, did i hurt you!! are you ok!!!??? i need

to call the doctor! we need a doctor!" in the middle of this

rampage, she jumped to her feet and scooped kyo off the floor,

holding him tight to her chest; too tight!

"t-tohru!" he

gasped, eyes open wide and slightly bugging from his skull. she was

squeezing the

eath out of him!

she shrieked and

nearly dropped him. regaining herself, barely, she held him at arms

length and stared at him as he panted to catch his

eath. she had

forced the

eath from his lungs for a minute there. "you can

talk!"

"yeah, i can

talk!" he snapped. he felt a sudden rush of anger and instantly

took it out on her. the curse was supposed to be

oken! why was he a

cat?? "just shut up so i can think!"

her mouth snapped

shut and she looked hurt.

his mind raced.

the curse was supposed to be

oken because of what tohru did... it

was supposed to be over and done with. had it only been a temporary

fix? had it been just a short bit of time that the curse had

disappeared? were tohru's efforts fruitless?

he looked at her,

wondering these things. she was still holding him at arms length,

looking confused and maybe more than a little hurt. her bottom lip

trembled slightly as she studied her feet with intensity.

dang it... kyo

thought. i hurt her feelings again, didn't i? he yelled back

at himself, no duh sherlock!

before kyo could

tell her he was sorry, he heard shigure coming down the stairs,
