Blind Faith Chapter. 1
Threads of the sun's golden rays sneaked through the glass to caress the sleeping boy's face. Kyo opened the door quietly and let himself in after slight hesitation. He stared at Yuki's peaceful face as he slept unconscious of his cousin's presence . Mixed emotions boiled inside of him as he watched Yuki's chest rise and fall softly with each breath.
He had always said he hated the damn rat but it certainly never crossed his mind to seriously harm him. But now it was different. Now he has every right to hate his cousin and most certainly every right to kill him. Now that the secret everyone was hiding from him was out, he realized that the hatred he felt for his cousin was justified all along.
"KYO!!"
Kyo whirled to find himself face to face with an angry Hatori. Strange he never heard him come in. "I didn't kill him if that's what you're thinking."
Hatori calmed down and eyed the orange head boy steadily. "It's best if you stay away for awhile."
Kyo turned red. He raised his head and locked eyes with the older Soma. "You too think I'm going to kill him, right?" But it wasn't a question. It was a statement.
Hatori walked to Yuki's bed and hovered over the sleeping boy's still form. "It isn't important what I think. What's important is to."
"Is to keep the damn rat safe," Kyo cut him off.
Hatori nodded. "Listen Kyo, it isn't easy for you. Actually it isn't easy for any of us but it's harder for you and Yuki."
"Why would it be hard on him!!" Kyo said bitterly.
"Do you think it's easy to be in his place?"
"I.. I don't know what to think."
Hatori walked to him and placed his hand on Kyo's shoulder. "It's best if you and Yuki be separated right now."
Kyo shrugged the doctor off. "Whatever you guys think,I'm not a killer and it gets one to kill a person."
"Kyo, the chance, the opportunity that's been offered to you is what every one of us desires. It's been our shared dream since childhood and to be given the chance you have is not simple to ignore at all."
"I know that I'll never.."
"I believe you," Hatori cutt him off sharply, "But do you trust yourself to feel that way tomorrow? A year from now?"
Hatori's words made the younger boy's head spin. "I.."
"You need more time to think about this Kyo. Go grab whatever you need. You'll be staying with me for awhile."
Kyo complied. He was just to tired to argue or think or even feel anything.
"Is he..? Is he allright?" Kyo said turning to the sleeping Yuki.
"His wound is deep. It'll need a bit of time to heal but he should be fine in time". "Physically," the doctor added pointedly.
Kyo left the room to do what Hatori asked. Shigure was there blocking his way to the stairs.
"Kyo,.."Shigure began.
Kyo walked past him and ran to his room unwilling to hear what Shigure had to say. Shigure watched him walk away sadly.
Kyo entered his room and closed the door behind him. His room looked the same way he left it last time. Looking at his room made him feel like nothing had happened. He eyed his school bag absent-mindedly. Two weeks from today school will begin.
He tried to ward off the memory of last day tiredly but failed miserably.
He walked to the window and watched the birds sing and fly happily with not a care in the world. Last day's incidents came back to him, invading his mind without mercy.

"I'm sorry," a tearful Tohru told them with a bowed head.
"It's allright Tohru. No need to apologize."
"Shigure is right Miss Honda. We just hope your grand father gets well soon," Yuki assured.
"I promised to.."
"Don't worry about it," Shigure put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"I haven't cooked .."
"I'm sure Kyo'll be happy to claim that job."
"WHY DO I HAVE TO DO IT?" Kyo said angrily, cat ears popping out of his head.
"Because you don't have a book to finish nor after school meetings to attend to," Yuki eyed him rudely.
"I'm not doing it."
"I'm sorry I'll prepare the meals before I go," Tohru offered.
"You don't have to," Kyo calmed down instantly. "Fine I'll do it."
"Don't worry Miss Honda."
"Everything'll be just fine. You'll see."
