Frightening

It wasn't real. Sure I was right there. But… it wasn't real. The way he changed like that. Nothing was right. He wasn't supposed to. He was supposed to be Kyo… the cat… the cat of the Chinese Zodiac… the cat… that I love. He wasn't supposed to turn into that… thing… it was supposed to be perfect…

But it wasn't. I was scared when I looked at him. His eyes… and the smell… the way he watched me… and then… he ran off… and I stood there for the longest time… replaying the image over and over again in my mind.

I think… he was afraid that I saw him.

I was afraid… just as he was. Maybe less… I don't everything that he had to go through with the curse of the cat on his shoulders… I can only imagine. But even in my imagination… it hurt… just to get a little taste of it… I hurt just like he did.

He didn't want me to look at him.

Why? Why did he act as though… I would shun him…? When he ran… and I ran after… I… I didn't know what to do… I was so scared… mostly afraid of him… but a little bit of afraid of… of knowing… I would never fit in with him any longer. That… I would be the one shunned… and that I would never be happy… ever… again.

So I watched him.

I watched the pain he went through. I could see it in his eyes… I could feel it. He was… afraid… afraid… of if I was to reject him… just like so many have done before. He was… frightened… that I would leave him… and never speak to him again… he was afraid… I wouldn't love him.

But I do love him.

And that night… helped me realize it.

End

Yay! Reviews… NO FLAMES… but I like constructive criticism… remember this is my first Fruba fic
