Chapter 6: The Explaination

A small, grey rat appeared on top of Yuki's school uniform. The rat glanced up; its eyes widening in astonishment. Not only that, but the Host Club both carried guilt and shocked expressions on their faces. And just to make things worse, a girl with dirty blonde hair, light brown eyes, and a large, magenta ribbon on the top of her head stormed into the room. She immediately halted once she noticed their guests from Kaibara. However, her eyes began to wonder towards the grey rat with purple eyes on the elegant tiled floors.

"Ew, there's a rat in room!" shrieked the girl. "Save me, Kyoya!" She then ran into Kyoya's arms, but was instantly rejected.

"Renge, quit doing that," Kyoya spat, his monotonous voice slowly fading as anger boils within his body.

Kyo crossed his arms and glared at his cousin and said with pure hatred, "Damn rat...You just got our secret exposed."

"What secret?" Honey said with an innocent tone. Kyo's eyes widened as he realized what he'd just said.

"Nice job, you stupid cat," Yuki exclaimed in his rat form. "Now they're even more suspicious."

Kyo kneeled down and glared at Yuki, growling furiously. "Suspicious? You're the one who acted like a smart-ass! If you just shut your goddamn mouth, you wouldn't have fallen onto Haruhi."

"I'm sorry, but you're at fault for this one," Yuki protested, crossing his tiny, grey paws. "If you didn't grab me and forcefully knock me into Haruhi, everything would've been fine."

"My fault?" Kyo said in disbelief. He chuckled hysterically. "I didn't push you at all. You just lost your balance and decided to fall onto Haruhi assuming it was safe to do so."

"You didn't know she was a girl!" The host club immediately gasped at the rat's assumption.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't," Kyo admitted.

"How would you know?" asked Yuki. "You're just a cat!"

"And being a cat is a good thing at times," Kyo addressed. "Unlike you, I have a better sense of smell."

"You know nothing about rats!"

"Good, I never wanted to. Watching a documentary about them would be as boring as watching paint dry. As a matter of fact, I would rather watch paint dry than listen to you!"

"Oh, so you want to go that way, do you?" inquired the rat with a devilish grin on his face.

Kyo smirked. "I've got no other choice. Plus, as a rat, you've got no defense."

"Maybe I do!" Yuki lied, attempting to make himself look tougher.

"You and what army?" Kyo challenged with a laugh.

"I don't need an army to fight you," Yuki narrowed his little purple eyes in aggravation.

Kyo lifted Yuki by his tail. He hung upside down as the ginger smirked at him. "And are you supposed to do that?"

Before Yuki could think of a way to shut the Cat's foul mouth, Nikki stepped forward and smacked Kyo's head. In response, Kyo released Yuki's tail from his grip, causing him to fall onto the ground. Surprisingly, he landed safely on his uniform.

"Oww, that hurt!" Kyo spat, spinning around. He faced Nikki, scowling and growling until his gaze softened. He felt as if he was harming his girlfriend. He looked to the side shamefully. "Sorry..."

"Quit messing with Yuki. You two have done more than enough damage. The hosts will be needing an explanation for this!" Nikki crossed her arms furiously. Once again, the Sohma curse was revealed.
