Author¡¦s note: I¡¦m not much of a talker, I mean typer. -__-¡§ I don¡¦t really have much to say, but I just hope you guyz would enjoy my fic! ; )
I went to visit him again. I went the same way as I usually did, through the thick trees following the dark winding path. Balancing a basket of lunch and an umbrella, I trudged on. I couldn¡¦t wait to see him. I think of him everyday at school, if he was with us, what would it be like? Yuki very rarely mentions him anymore. He just seems like he had cut this part of his memory away.
Finally I saw the little shabby house in the distance. My paces quickened, I was eager to see him. I hadn¡¦t seen him for 2 days already. The work in college is keeping me busy, luckily Yuki helps me out all the time.
Finally I arrived at the house. I struggled to free my hands from the tangled mess of bags and umbrellas. I tugged hard, and every thing came tumbling out of my hands onto the muddy rain-soaked ground. I looked at the ground in disbelief. I crouched down, picking up the spilt lunchbox. As usual, my eyes began filling up with tears. A sound from the house drew my attention away from the lunch. I looked up at Kyou standing at the door.
¡§Are you alright?¡¨ He asked worriedly crouching down.
¡§Gomen. Gomen. I-I split the lunch.¡¨ I sobbed. I wasn¡¦t sure if he was angry with me.
Kyou returned to his old self. He growled and poked my head with his finger. ¡§Its just lunch. Anyway I got some food inside.¡¨ I still crouched there, staring at him with teary eyes. He wasn¡¦t satisfied with my reaction and sighed.
¡§Come on inside. You know I don¡¦t like the rain.¡¨ He stood up, pulling me up from the ground and turned back into the house. ¡§Are you coming in or not?¡¨ He asked again. I snapped out of my trance and pranced happily inside.
Kyou threw me a towel. ¡§You¡¦ll get the floor wet¡¨. I smiled at him.
¡§Thank you¡¨ I whispered. He was being so nice to me. I wrapped the big stripy towel around myself. I hugged it tight, noting that it was the towel Kyou used. Giggling slightly to myself, I followed him into the kitchen. He reached up into the cupboard taking down a few cans. ¡§I only have these, what do you want?¡¨
¡§I don¡¦t mind.¡¨ I replied. Kyou struggled to open the can. ¡§Let me help you¡¨. Kyou didn¡¦t reply but handed me the can sadly. Seeing his expression I cursed myself silently. He didn¡¦t need me to remind him of what he could no longer do.
Kyou sighed and looked out of the window. ¡§I¡¦ll get the bowels.¡¨ I looked at his tired face. The curse was taking its toll. There were marks of strain that were never on his face before. My heart twists to him suffering so much.
We sat down on the floor and began to eat. I felt him watching me and looked at him and smiled. His face flushed and looked down at his lap. ¡§Do you want some more?¡¨ I asked. He shook his head and began poking his food. ¡§You seem quiet today,¡¨ I said, ¡§Are you feeling well?¡¨
Kyou raked his fingers through his hair and sighed. ¡§I was just thinking.¡¨ He paused, and I waited for him to carry on. ¡§I think I existed for someone. It¡¦s just that I haven¡¦t found that someone yet.¡¨ I answered him the way I replied to that comment every time.
¡§That someone must be a very lucky someone.¡¨ He would smile in return every time. Kyou reached out to my face and gently brushed it with his fingers, and quickly shrank away. I blushed. ¡§T-there was a piece of rice¡¨ he stuttered, embarrassed. I gave him an express gratitude. A silence drifted over us, but it was a comfortable one.
After a while, I looked at my watch. It was half past 3. ¡§I think I have to go.¡¨ I said breaking the silence. Kyou looked up at me.
¡§So fast?¡¨ I nodded guiltily. ¡§ Why?¡¨ He asked again and then blushed with embarrassment. ¡§You don¡¦t have to tell.¡¨ He added.
¡§I just have to meet someone now.¡¨ I stuttered. ¡§I¡¦ll come over tomorrow. I want to bring you some where special.¡¨ Kyou nodded in agreement and escorted me to the door. I started down the shadowy path again and turned back to wave goodbye. I saw the lonely shadow of Kyou¡¦s hand waving at me, and turned to walk on towards Shigure¡¦s house.
For some reason, I couldn¡¦t bring myself to tell Kyou that I was going to meet up with Yuki.
