Tohru Honda sat on her humungeous bed, and stared down at the floor. The images of Kyo in his true form flashed in her head, and tears started falling down her pale skin. It had all just happened last night, but for some reason it still hurt deep inside. Tohru just felt like she wasn't good enough for Kyo, that she wouldn't be able to fix him. Mom what do I do? I wan't to help Kyo-Kun so bad, but mom I don't think I can really save him. Im probably just a burden on his shoulders. Tohru thought standing up, and fixing the bed a little.
"Honda-San?" Yuki called from the other side of Tohru's door. Tohru looked up at the door quickly startled, and wiped away her tears. Then she opened the door quietly and smiled at her dear friend.
"Yuki-Kun." She said softly, but cheerefully. Tohru pressed down some creases on her skirt then focused her attention back to a, now smiling, Yuki. He tugged on a strand of his silver hair before talking once more.
"I was just wondering if you were ok, you've been in here awhile. I understand though after what happened last night." Yuki said gently, shyly brushing a strand of Tohru's hair away from her eyes. Tohru blushed a little, and almost frowned but managed to keep her smile.
"Oh yes im ok Yuki-Kun. Im sorry if I worried you, I just have alot on my mind thats all. Is Kyo-Kun ok?" Tohru asked, concern played in her expression. Yuki sighed, narrowing his eyes on the topic of Kyo.
"I don't know, that stupid cat hasn't come off the roof since you brought him back last night." Yuki answered in monotone, obviously not showing any concern for Kyo.
"I believe he's just a little nervous is all." Shigure said coming up behind Yuki, a cheerefull smile on his face. His stomach rumbled a little. "Oh sorry about that...im starving." Tohru looked very alert all of a sudden.
"Eh! Oh im sorry, I forgot about breakfeast. I promise ill make it right away." Tohru said in a very serious tone, rushing out of her room to the kitchen. Shigure smiled after her.
"Our wonderful little flower." He said under his breath joyfully before following Tohru downstairs. Yuki shrugged and did the same. After Tohru had set breakfeast down for everyone, she filled a plate and headed up towards the roof. She peeked her head over, to see Kyo looking the other way, his red eyes dull.
"Kyo-Kun? I brought you breakfeast." Tohru said smiling a little climbing up and moving next to him. Kyo jumped and glared at her a little.
"Dont scare me like that!" Kyo yelled though accepted the plate thankfully. There was an awkward silence for a few minutes.
"Kyo-Kun, are you ok? About last night I mean." Tohru said softly looking into his brilliant red eyes. Kyo looked at her out of the corner of his eyes, and did seem nervous like Shigure said.
"Huh? Oh yeah I guess." Kyo said sounding very unsure of himself. Tohru looked out at the sky sadly for a minute before taking Kyo's hand and staring into his eyes.
"I mean't it Kyo, I wan't us to stay together." Tohru said very seriously, to wich Kyo blushed furiously. Tohru smiled and leaned in, and embraced him warmly. There was a poof of orange smoke, and now Tohru was holding an orange cat in her arms. "Forever.." She whispered. Kyo looked up at her blushing, and there was a poof as he turned back to normal. Tohru screeched and turned away blushing. When Kyo was done putting his clothes back on Tohru turned around agian. Kyo looked at her unsurely for a moment, not quite sure what to make of what she had just said.
"Thankyou Tohru." Kyo whispered, a soft blush appearing on his face. Tohru smiled at him cheerefully and clasped her hand's together. Kyo blushed once more and looked away, and there was silence for a few minutes. Im glad Kyo's feeling a little better today mom. Tohru thought standing up staring out at the bright sky. She didn't know it, but Kyo was watching her. Im going to make you suffer, the way we suffer. Akito's harsh voice hissed in her ear. Tohru eyes widened in fear and she dropped to her knees not even realizing it. Kyo knelt over her worried, his orange hair blowing in the breeze. "What's wrong? What happened!" Kyo said a bit louder then he mean't too. Tohru looked up snapping back to reality.
"Oh it's nothing Kyo-kun, im sorry if I worried you." Tohru apologized smiling softly at him. Kyo sighed and sat back a little observing her for a minute, to make sure she was really ok. Mom, Kyo dosn't know about my encounter with Akito, and I don't wan't to worry him. Tohru thought fidgeting a little under Kyo's gaze. "You know we should probably go back downstairs, everyone's probably wondering where we are." Tohru said trying to sound as happy as she could, but Kyo could hear a hint of sadness beneath it all.
"Yeah whatever." Kyo sighed and stood taking Tohru's hand, who looked shocked. "Well walk already, im not gonna drag you all the way!" Kyo snapped pulling Tohru a little along. Tohru smiled and her eyes sparkled in the sunlight.
"Ah our flower returns to us!" Shigure said, looking up from the newspaper he was reading. Tohru smiled and sat down at the table with them. Yuki smiled at Tohru, tugging on a strand of silver hair. He noticed a large cut then on her shoulder and wondered where it had come from.
"Honda-San where did you get that cut?" Yuki asked, though as soon as he said he knew. He knew where Tohru had gotten the cut, and he glared at Kyo instently who looked away guiltily.
"Oh um..." Tohru hesitated glancing over at Kyo sympathetically. "You know it's really not that importent." She finished smiling nervously. Yuki shrugged, realising obviously she didn't wan't to talk about it. Shigure looked at them with curious dark eyes, and Kyo looked at Tohru a bit sadly. Tohru wished she knew how to help Kyo and make him happier, and that hurt she had felt that morning on her bed came around agian. She gasped as the strong emotional pain appeared and tears formed in her eyes.
"Tohru?" Shigure questioned looking at her with concern in his eyes. He put his newspaper down and continued to look at her softly. Yuki and Kyo also looked up a bit startled at this.
"Honda-San what brought this up all of a sudden?" Yuki asked gently, reaching over and brushing away the tears with his soft fingers. Tohru waved her hands in front of her face in a NO NO no no no its not that, sort of way.
"Oh um it's nothing really, I just got something in my eye is all. Really im fine, but I think im going to go upstairs to my room for a minute if you'll excuse me." Tohru stood up, and walked hurried up the stairs. Kyo stood up and walked after her, ignoring the others who were asking where he was going.
TOHRU' S POV
I rushed down the hallway into my room, then burst into to tears. I felt so ashamed for not being strong like my mother was. She probably had it much much worse. Tohru, you don't have to do things the way I do. Do thing's are your own pace, just be yourself youll be fine. My mother's voice echoed in my head and I nodded. "Your right mom I just have to keep trying." Tohru whispered though she started sobbing agian uncontrollably. Her long, dark brown hair was a little damp at the ends with tears.
KYO's POV
I froze at the top of the stairs upon hearing two thing's. From the bottom of the stairs I could Shigure and that damn rat talking about something, about her. "Well it did only happen last night, it's natural that it would leave some scars." I heard Shigure say in a very serious voice.
"Yes that's true, but she took it so well yesterday, you don't think she was only putting on an act do you? She does put others well being before her own." Yuki questioned and I could hear him tapping his fingers on the table.
"No I don't, I believe Tohru is just going through some of her own problems at the moment." Shigure said. I didn't wan't to listen to anymore. If Tohru did have any scars, it was my own fault. And that cut on her shoulder was from me. Immediatly guilt and sorrow washed over me, and it only deepened at what I heard next. The sound of Tohru sobbing harder then you could imagine, drifted into my ears from down the hallway. I stood there a minute wondering what to do, to go in and talk to Tohru or to go back downstairs. I decided to take my chance with Tohru.
