To Hell with my pride tonight I want to cry.
By Troy Hedding
He hates the rain so much. Kyo Sohma hates the rain because it makes him think that the heaven themselves are crying. He didn't think that his master would betray him like this. He took off his beads and now he in this form of a monster and he hates it. He ran off into the forest to be alone like he supposed to be.
Everyone hates him and he knows it. He too rude and he pushes people away, but its only natural when you been shun at a little age. He can hear the voices.
"Oh God what is that smell?!"
"Oh my God get it away from me."
He can remember Akito clearly saying that as everyone else agreed with him. He starts to shake, but he doesn't want to admit that he wants to cry. He too proud for that so he says that it's the rain that making him shake. He looks up at the sky and remembers that his mother committed suicide and everyone said it was because of him.
"It's not my fault." He tries to tell himself, but it doesn't help. He can hear the voices as the rain falls on his face.
"You have to stay away from the window Kyo-kun."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want everyone to try and steal you away."
"Remember Kyo-kun I love you no matter what you look like."
"Then why do you always make sure that I have these beads on my wrist?"
He starts to sob but he too proud to admit that he wants to cry so he says that its this form that making him choke. He starts to think that the rat seen him in this form. The rat probably going to make fun of him now. Then he realizes that he never going to beat the rat. The rat is just too strong and he just a stupid cat. He doesn't dwell on it long because he can hear someone puking behind him.
He turns around and he see's Torhu leaning over from vomiting. She stares at him and then he stares back and they stare at each other for a moment. Then his worse fears comes true, he really is going to be alone. She shakes her head and then turns around and runs away.
He back in his human form feeling the rain on his orange hair. He's crying now and not a subtle cry, but a full out wailing. He says he's not wailing but screaming out of anger and there not tears on his cheeks but rain. He too proud to admit that crying and too proud to admit that he hates his life. He closes his eyes hoping to keep in the tears, but it doesn't work they just keep coming.
He doesn't feel the rain and he open's his eyes to see Kagura with an umbrella over him. She staring at him with her black eyes and he wonders if she crying too. He weakly lifts up an arm to her. She grabs his hand and its soft the softest thing he ever felt. Why haven't he notice this yet? She sits next to him and they stare at each other for a moment.
Then he embraces her and he still crying, but he doesn't care what she thinks. To hell with his pride tonight he wants to cry. She embraces him back and it's the best thing that ever happens to him. She holding him now, he practically resting on her now, but she doesn't care.
"Kagura…" He says through sob's.
"Kyo…" She answers back.
"Don't ever leave me." He says almost as an order.
"I wouldn't plan on it." She says and he smiles.
They break apart from the hug and stare into each other eyes. Slowly Kyo reaches in and kisses Kagura on the lips. It's only for a second and their foreheads are resting on each other. She hugs him and he hugs her back. Kyo finally realizes that he will never be alone as long as Kagura has something to say about it.
