He didn't go to school any more, he never left his room. Even when he got mail, he never left his bed. He wept and wept until he fell asleep. Life just wasn't fair for this cat. But this wasn't just any cat. This was the cat from the Zodiac legend. This was Kyou Sohma.
His friend, if he had any, would have been worried about him if they didn't already know what was going on. His first crush and only obvious crush was Tohru Honda. That baka onigiri chose that baka nezumi. 'Damn them to hell' he would think to himself, but he knew he would never get over his crush on Tohru. That would last forever.
Kyou stared from his bed out the window at the path, watching Tohru, her friends and that baka nezumi leave for school while the baka inu downstairs would call him in with weird diseases that no one had even heard of. Baka inu… he would never understand what Kyou was going through.
"Kyou! It's time to come down for dinner! I know you're hungry. You haven't eaten in three days!" Tohru called from downstairs. Kyou shook his head, but his stomach rumbled, telling him that she was right and she should go downstairs and at least eat something. Meager amounts but he knew that it wouldn't matter to Tohru any more.
"I'm coming, I'm coming… jeez can't you give a guy a break?" He pulled on a pair of green sweatpants and walked downstairs, sliding a pair of slippers onto his feet. Tohru gasped when she saw him. He was pale and skinny, almost anorexic looking. That baka nezumi snickered at the slash scars on his wrists that were still in the process of healing because he kept reopening them.
"What happened to you Kyon-Kyon? You look like you haven't eaten in four years!" The baka inu commented, pulling a random number out of the air. Kyou held up a fist, but his stomach rumbled again. He blushed, and then sat down next to Shiugure. When he reached out for some rice to put in his bowl, he noticed that Yuki handed something to Tohru under the table. She looked down and brightened up, giggling lightly. She looked up at him, and then looked away, not quite knowing how to react with him to what she had just seen.
