 
| Yep. That's the time. I stayed up late last night to post a fan art of my O.C., Kitty Strinx. ^-^ She's the one I've been writing about.
I drew her in her latest form -- black hair, purple eyes -- but I shaded it. My scanner tried to mess it up, and I tried to fix it, so it may look...odd. Heheh xD
Nothing to talk about really.... Um, I think I'll ask a question then.
Quesion: Who's your favorite character from Fruits Basket/Inuyasha?
Answer: I Hatsuharu is my absolute favorite, though it's a toughie... And Sesshoumaru and Kagome are my tied favorites ^-^
That sounds so random.... I'm done now, though. ^-^ Here's the next chapter in my story!
------------------------------>
At that moment, the front door swung wide open, revealing a very dirty-looking - and rather bad-smelling - boy coughing. Kitty opened her eyes in shock, then turned around before the boy saw her.
"Aw, gee, Kalvin, don't get my house all dirty!" she said, not even bothering to look in his direction.
He coughed again then straightened up only to cough again. Apparently, he was trying to speak, but speaking and coughing at the same time is, obviously, not such a great idea.
Roxanne finally glanced over and saw him, dirt all over and black in his face. Her eyes widened before she bursted out laughing. She knew what had happened, and she seemed to be not-all-that worried about him.
Once her laughter died down, she looked back over at him and smiled, standing up. "You need to be more careful with what you use. Heheh."
He glared at her, in-between coughs, because he knew she could say whatever she wanted while he couldn't say anything about it. That seemed very...thoughtful of her.
"Hey, why don't you scrub up while I try to remedy this. Oh, and Kitty? There's a- HEY!"
As soon as she said the name Kitty, Kalvin pushed her back to get into the living room. He stopped and stared at her, his coughing ceasing for a moment. But just as soon as their eyes locked, they disconnected, and he started coughing again.
"KALVIN! I told you to scrub up, not torture Kitty!! Now, leave her alone, and take a darn shower!" she snarled, stomping all the while toward a room that Kitty had hoped would be the kitchen.
She glanced up from the chair, waiting to see if the dirty boy was trying to look at her again. But no. He had already gone upstairs obediently.
[Kitty's POV]
Even though I'm as miserable as I can get right now, I still feel kind of angry that he thought I was some sort of display!
[end POV]
As she continued to ponder these things, she heard a racket both in the kitchen area and in the shower on the second floor. Even though some of the noises made her curious if either one was hurt, she didn't dare look or speak. One or the other of them, it was gonna be bad if she did.
Glancing at the surrounding walls, she noticed they were dirty. Pretty, maybe, but they were awfully dirty. A rattling noise in the kitchen brought her back to reality rather than wall-watching.
"I-is....everything...all right?" she asked doubtfully.
"Yeah. It's cool." Roxanne's voice sounded kind of harsh and on-edge, so Kitty decided not to bother her again.
Another clinking noise in the shower was heard, then the water turned off. She then heard him cough several times before getting out of the tub.
After that, she did not desire to know what happened next. Instead, she turned her attention to the sounds from the kitchen again. There were several more harsh noises, and even a cacophony that left the air silent in recovery, but all went well, she guessed, when Roxanne came out smiling with a bottle of what looked like olive oil.
"What......is that?" she dared to ask.
Roxanne then shook her head, a laugh congested behind a smile, and thought a moment before responding. "Eh. You don't want to know on this one -- trust me."
Kitty blinked, then looked back down at the bottle. If she didn't want to know what it was.....then she probably didn't want to know what was inside it.
After a brief moment of silence, stumbling was heard in the hall, then footsteps coming down the stairs. Kitty looked away, slightly curious as to what the boy actually looked like, but not enough to really look.
She positioned herself so she wouldn't face him, no matter what, while he almost tumbled downstairs. His coughing was still as bad, but she couldn't pick up the scent that she had smelled so strongly earlier.
When he reached the end of the stairs, she heard a pause, as if he was dumb-struck. Rupturing coughs came after that, followed by several clumsy noises. She also heard Roxanne sniggering loudly.
"H...heheh...here's y-your..." she then laughed very loudly as he snatched the bottle from her.
He gulped down as much as he could before coughing once again, spitting out some of the gloopy liquid, and then finished it off the second try. Kitty continued to look at the wall, actually gazing at the shadow of the boy. She realized, by the shadow's size compared to the size of Roxanne's shadow, that the boy was not really a boy, but more like a man.
When Roxanne's laughter ceased, she smiled and looked over at Kitty, who, she noticed, hadn't even giggled during Kalvin's torture. She then walked over curiously and crouched down next to Kitty.
"Yes?" she asked, knowing pretty much what Roxanne was going to say.
"Come on now, he doesn't bite. Seriously! Only I do that." she giggled jokingly, then saw Kitty wouldn't budge.
"Roxy, just leave her alone." Kalvin finally said. "I think you've done enough for today." his voice was calm and rich --much better than the coughing noises that came out before.
Roxanne glared at him, then smiled back at Kitty. "Look, if you need anything, just call one of us. Preferably Kalvin, since he'll actually do something sooner than I will. I'm usually working at my fact- I mean, kitchen -- so it may be harder to get my attention. He's just working on something in the garage, usually."
Kalvin trudged upstairs, paying no attention to Roxanne any longer. He was then heard directly overhead, then nothing.
"You gonna hit the hay too? It seems a little early, but you've had a hard day...." she glanced up and down at Kitty's black hair and purple eyes.
"Okay....that sounds....good...." Kitty stood up and turned around to go upstairs.
"Oh....you know.... Kalvin isn't a bad guy. He's just heard so much about you, he thought I was joking when I said you were here!" she smiled.
Kitty smiled back, but she didn't respond more than that. She heard helicopters overhead and stopped. Her eyes widened. By the sound of it, there were three of them, but she couldn't be sure.
Roxanne glared up in the direction of the sky and huffed. "Some nerve they have, patrolling this area once again! This is the second time this darn week!" she grumbled.
Aware that this was no more than what was common there, she exhaled in relief and hopped upstairs. The room she was in before was no different than when she had been there last.
[Kitty's POV]
At least it's farthest away from his room....
[end POV]
She stopped at the door and leaned on the door post. It was oddly comfortable to her for the moment; it was something to lean on, at least.
[Kitty's POV]
What was she talking about, though? He heard so much about me? .....She probably called him on the phone or something and told him about me.... Maybe he thought it was a prank...?
[end POV]
She shook her head and stood up straight. Walking toward the bed to sit down, she started thinking clearly again.
[Kitty's POV]
I don't need to worry about anyone except myself. I shouldn't be thinking about a guy at all! Especially not......
[end POV]
Her eyes widened for a brief moment and glazed over in tears. She fell toward the bed and used both arms for support while she leaned over, trying to stop crying.
"No....not again!" she said, her eyes still open.
Tears kept spilling out until there was a four-inch spot on the bed that was completely soaked in tears. She then scrunched her eyes, trying to make the tears go away.
"Just once.... I need to be strong enough not to...cry!" she uttered the last word bitterly.
She bit her lip and rubbed her eyes with the back of her left hand. A voice was then heard, but it sounded fuzzy in her head. After a while, it became clear.
"...re you okay? ....Hey, are you okay?" it was that guy. Kalvin.
Kitty flipped around, bracing herself on the bed but facing him. Her tear-stained face was red and puffy, and she probably didn't look very pretty just then.
"...I...." her voice cracked and more tears came out. "I'm...fine!" the last word was said loudly.
Kalvin stayed at the doorway, not knowing how he could help.
"Is there.....anything I can do?" he asked slowly.
"Please.....Just....go...." she then tried to hide her face with her right hand, leaning on the bed with her left arm for support.
He nodded slowly and shut the door slowly. She noticed, even with blurry vision and her hand in front of her face, that he left the door open a crack.
[Kitty's POV]
What's....wrong with me...?
[end POV]
