Rebel

I didn't wake up on Shigure's floor. No, I woke up in an unfamiliar bed. I knew it wasn't Shigure's - his smelled like him and I had woken up in it enough times for it be familiar to me. I also  knew it wasn't Tohru's - her sheets were pink and her whole room smelled like strawberries.  I had borrowed her room on more than one occasion as well. This bed has black sheets, and it smelled - weird. I didn't and still can't quite describe it. It wasn't until I sat up, the blanket falling away, that I realized I was in Kyo's room. My clothing - the skirt, shirt, and leggings - had been folded neatly at the end of the bed and I was wearing one of Kyo's black v-necks. it was basically a dress on me, the male easily towered over me. It occured to me that either Kyo or Shigure had undressed me and put me in bed, which was sweet but also a little weird if it was Kyo. I tend to want to be conscious the first time anyone sees my naked body, you know?

I slipped out of the bed, surprised by how chilly the room was. Goose bums formed on mylegs, and my arms, and I just wanted to get out. It didn't occur to me that I should probably put on pants. I slipped into the hallway, walking quietly to the stairs. I wasn't hung over, surprisingly - I ad drank easily almost half a bottle of liquor. I padded downstairs, surpried to hear some one stirring in the kitchen - maybe Tohru had come home early? No, it was definitely Kyo. He was bent over the sink, his hands clenching it so hard that his knuckles were white. His eyes were squeezed shut and he was wincing in pain.

"Hangover?" I asked quietly, and he glanced behind his back at me, looking like he was going to yell but instead, he nodded. Smart kid - yelling when you're hung over is dumb. "Shi-kun usually has some pills in his room, do you want me to get them? You should probably go horizontal today." I spoke with a soft chuckle.

"I don't need your help, I can handle this," Kyo said, but his face was pale as a ghost and even I knew he was full of shit.

"Listen, Kyo, go lay down before you puke. I don't want to watch that, I'm squeamish. And we certainly don't need hairballs all over the place," I said, and he again was geared up to yell, but his voice faltered before the first word. "I'm not in your bed anymore. I'll brew some tea and bring you some medicine, okay?"

"Fine," He said, but didn't thank me which I was expecting. Kyo's kind of an ass. "Rat boy came home after you fell asleep so I would put on some pants..." He suggested, which I think was him trying to be kind and save me from embarrassment? I honestly don't know. 

"Oh, yeah, you probably want your shirt back too. Here you can take it back upstairs with you.." i reached down, grasping the sides of the shirt to tug it off. Now, don't get me wrong, Kyo was swift. But I had never seen him move this fast - pushing my arms down so I wouldn't take off the shirt. He immediately regretted that, though, collapsing forward in nausea, nearly knocking me over - he was nearly half a foot taller than me.

"No, no, no.." He whispered. "Are you fucking crazy? You'd be in your underwear in a house full of dudes!" I guess he was pretty considered with my safety, but...

"Look, some one had to undress me last night and put me in this, so it's not like it's some big deal - and I'll just be making tea... I don't think it's a big deal." 

Kyo blushed at the mention of the night before, letting go of me. "Well, yeah, but I didn't look, I swear..!" He said, a little louder than I think he intended, because he winced.
"Oh, I thought it was Shigure.. either way, it's not a  big deal, I'm sure you've seen a girl in her underwear before, Kyo, it's not a big deal.." I shrugged, moving past him to fill up his kettle with water and boil it. He watched me from behind me, not speaking. "Kyo, go lay down. I won't get naked, I promise."
I heard him walk away, a little less graceful than usual. I brewed his tea and got him some medicine. I walked upstairs, quietly, to find him leaning against the window. "Here, take these and drink some of this. You're super dehydrated, that's why your headache is so bad," I said. After all, my older brother was a doctor - I knew some things. He took it with out protest and grimaced. 

"I'm gonna change back into my clothes now, so.." I moved to get my clothes from the bed.

"Hey, if you want actual clean clothes - some of yours are in Torhu's room from the last time you came over and got too drunk to go home." Kyo said, a bit of bite in his voice but I actually think it mayh have been playful. I nodded, and walked towards the pink, girly room that really stood out in the house full of guys.

I found my clothes, neatly folded in her dresser. I could tell they were mine because Torhu didn't own any jeans, like at all. I had bought mine during a trip back home for my seventeenth birth day. A lot of my clothes came from the States and jeans aren't as common in Japanese shops - or in general. I had black ripped jeans and a tank top, that was black, with skeleton hands over my chest. The shirt was one of Hatori's least favorites but I loved it, I liked the rebel style. I followed a lot of American fashion, my real passion. Then, I walked back into Kyo's room with his folded up shirt.

"I can take this home and wash it, if you want me to.." I offered to him quietly. "I should head out anyway, Hatori definitely know's I left last night and he is gonna be pissed..." 

"You can leave it here, I'll - well, Tohru will wash it." He gave a chuckle. "So, were you serious abut tutoring? Because to use your own phrase, my English grade is also 'broke as fuck'.," he cracked a smile, and I had to think. That would get me off the hook with Hatori.

"Sure. How about Monday night? I can come over here or you could come to mine, I guess.. Hatori will be out and I know you don't like to be on Sohma property but it's barely Sohma property..." I said. "Like no one will see you and Hatori won't even be home."

I could tell he was uncomfortable with the idea but he didn't protest, instead agreeing. I left with my clothes in a ba, walking back to the Sohma estate.
