Hi, this is my very first fanfiction *Claps*. I really hope someone will enjoy it, and I appreciate all kinds of reviews, or well, if you have something not-so-nice to say, I would be glad if you said it in a nice way. If you think any thing is wrong, or out of character or whatever, please say so. Enjoy:)
Kyo was once again using the roof as a getaway. It was only himself, Shigure and Yuki home, Tohru was out for some reason that he didn't know, and without her there, it was no point for him being downstairs with the others. She was the only reason that he did even put up with that stupid rat and perverted dog. She is so nice and kind and beautiful. Wait. Why is he thinking of her in that way? It makes him feel like a pervert. Is he turning in to Shigure? Although, she really is kind and beautiful, and she had accepted his true form. She is a saint, an angel sent just for him. He found himself smiling at the thought of her, but he quickly shrugged it off.
He then noticed a figure that was heading towards their house, and it was no other than Tohru. He smiled and without even realizing that he was doing it, he hurried downstairs, but Shigure had bet him to the door. Although Kyo couldn't see them he heard Shigure greet Tohru.
"Oh, Hello my precious little flower, I hope that you had no problem getting home, cause it is a little bit dark outs… Tohru dear, WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING?"
Now Kyo was rushing to get to the hallway. He figured that Yuki too had heard, because when Kyo got there, Yuki was standing there with a worried look on his face. Kyo turned his head to look at what it was that Tohru was holding. There she stood and held a little kid. no more then 2 years old, and according to Kyo, it still counts as a baby. When he saw Tohru holding the child, he assumed the worse, and a horrid look spread across his face as he pointed at the baby.
"T-T-Tohru" He stuttered "Don't tell me that that is your baby!"
"Don't be stupid" Yuki said as he smacked the cat in the head. "We would have noticed if miss Honda was pregnant".
Tohru just ignored Yuki's rude commentary he had given Kyo, that still had a dumbfound look on his face. She gave Kyo one of her usual goofy smiles.
"No Kyo-kun, this is my little brother" she said happily. The hole household got quiet. This was not expected by anyone. The silence soon got awkward, and finally Shigure was the one to break it.
"Tohru dear, you never told us you had a little brother!" he exclaimed happily as he stared tickling the sleeping child.
"Yeah, and how is that even possible miss Honda? your father died many years ago, and you have never mentioned your mother being remarried" Yuki said.
"You see, my mother signed up for adoption two years ago, and when she died, they still send a baby to us, so my grandfather took him in, but now when my aunt and cousins are living there, my grandfather doesn't have the time nor money to take care of him anymore" she paused and took a deep breath, as she was preparing herself for the next part.
"SoIwaswonderingifhecouldliveherewithus?" she continued a little bit to fast for anyone to exactly hear here.
"What was that last part?" Shigure asked. Tohru once again took an deep breath, and although she was talking slower, it was still relatively fast.
"I was wondering If he could live here with us, but of course I will take care of everything and my Grandpa said that I could have all of his baby equipment, and he can sleep in my bed sense he is getting bigger, but I need to potty train him thought and" but she didn't get to finish that sentence, sense Shigure interrupted.
"Of course he can my flower, I actually think that it could be fun with a child around the house! So much more lively! Don't you boys think so too?" He said and was now looking at Kyo and Yuki.
"Yes, thats great miss Honda" Yuki said and gave Tohru a smile, which she replied with one of her cheerful, goofy smiles, and you could see that she was very relived and much more relaxed now when Shigure had accepted her requested. Kyo thought that it couldn't be too bad with a kid around the house, they are not so awful, or at least not when they are not screaming, crying or drooling. And if it made Tohru happy, he would agree. But before Kyo could say anything, Shigure was once again talking.
" And I could of course be the baby's father! And you Tohru could be my little wife and" but there he was interrupted by Kyo's and Yuki's fists in his face.
"You perverted dog! leave her alone!" Kyo screamed at the dog that was now laying on the ground. Even though Tohru does not like when they are fighting, a relived smile spread across her face, because the thought of Shigure as a father scared her. Kyo, now angry at the childish adult was now heading towards the stairs.
"Thank you so much Shigure-san! Did you hear that Jari? you get to stay!" Tohru exclaimed happily as she looked at the sleeping boy in her arms. This made Kyo stop in his tracks.
"What did you call him?" Kyo asked, still with his back against Tohru.
"Jari, it's an unusual name, it really just means 'boy', but mother wanted him to be named that, after a boy that had a great impact on her life" Kyo was shocked. Because he knew that he was that boy. Long ago when Kyoko and himself had used to see each other regularly, Kyoko had called Kyo 'Jari' sense he never told her his real name. And even though that Kyo had angrily left her to never see her again, she had named a child after him. A child.
Kyo now turned around to look at the child that Tohru still held in her petite arms. He felt the need to at least look at the kid that was named after him, or well, sorta named after him. The baby had thick brown hair all over his head that was just a shade lighter then Tohrus, and was just as pale and cute as his sister. If she hadn't told him that he was adopted, Kyo would definitely believe that they where blood related.
"He is 2 and a half years old" Tohru said very proudly. Kyo didn't take his eyes of the baby as she talked, and without knowing it. Kyo walked closer to the baby and was only inches from his face, and once again was unaware of his actions as he smiled and stork a few hairs from the baby's face. He now looked up at Tohru, who was startled by his unexpected, very un-kyo actions.
"He looks like you" he said gently, still keeping his eyes at Tohru, who now blushed.
He jumped, when the rat coughed. Kyo had forgotten that they was still there, or that they even existed. For awhile, only He, Tohru and Jari had existed in his world. Now realizing what he had been up to, acting all soft and shit, he straightened his back and turned to look at the dog and the rat who were watching him suspiciously.
"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS STARING AT!" he yelled angrily, but immediately regretted it when the baby woke up crying.
"Im so sorry Tohru, I didn't think about it" he said feeling guilty as he watched Tohru rocking the crying baby back and forth anxiously.
"It's okay, it's not your fault" she said with a stressed look on her face. He still felt guilty as Tohru was headed towards the stairs.
"No!" He screamed at her, annoyed at her stupidity. "You're such a klutz that you will just drop him" He explained as she looked at him confused. "Here, I'll take him" he said, a bit mad at her, as he took the crying baby in his arms, that suddenly stopped crying. "Oh Kyo-kun! you made him stop crying!" She said and smiled cheerfully, and he could o longer be mad at her, cause even if she is an oblivious, naive, clumsy and a little bit careless, she is still his favorite person in this messed up world, and he wouldn't have it any other way, and he can never resist that smile of hers. He would probably do whatever she told him just to see her smile. He smiled back and went up the stairs with Tohru following close behind.
He put Jari in Tohru's bed, as he noticed the child's big blue eyes. He really does look like Tohru, he thought as he left the room and closed the door. but stopped in his tracks as he heard how Tohru started to sing for the child. Her voice was sweet and she sounded like an angel. He sat on the floor, with his back against Tohru's door, as he listened to the sweet sound of her voice.
"I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete"
Kyo rested his head against the wall, although he hadn't ever heard the song before, he liked the tune of it, and was sure that Tohru sang it just as good as the original singer, or maybe even better.
"Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting tired and I need someone to rely on"
It could be his Imagination, but Kyo could swear, that the whole household was quiet now, and the only thing that could be heard was Tohru's singing. It was like everyone was enchanted by her voice and couldn't do anything but listen.
"I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?"
"Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on"
" And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything,
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know"
" Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need someone to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin"
Kyo know let his eyes shot, and slowly fell asleep against Tohru's door, as he listened to the final words of the song.
" And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
'Cause this could be the end of everything,
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?"
And as he slept, he had sweet dreams about the girl who sang it.
