Here we are with my third fanfic. Once again about Kyo.
First off: TW: Depression, possible self harm, possible suicide I'm not sure where this will take me.
bolditalic: Kyo's demon voice
italic: Kyo's thoughts
"Kyo."
Kyo spun to see Tohru poke her head out the window, looking over the roof to where he was sitting.
"ah, sorry to bother you, but school's going to-"
"Yeah, I'll be down in a sec." He cut her off, his voice harsher than intended.
"ah, right, sorry." She blushed, and her head ducked back under the window.
"There you go hurting people again." "shut it" He snapped at the voice in his head, running fingers through his orange hair. It was a brisk fall day and he was enjoying the cold.
He jumped off the roof into the grass, straightening up he brushed off his pants and turned towards the front door just to see Yuki and Tohru come out.
"There you are you stupid cat." Yuki's voice was bitter, no doubt because of his encounter with Tohru.
"What do you want you damn rat?" Kyo cut back, lugging his bag over his shoulder in his stride to school.
"Well I figured you would want my help." Yuki said cooly
"Help with what? Why would I ever want your help?"
"I figured your rude outburst this morning was a cry for help, after all I can think of no other reason you would be so unnecessarily outspoken."
"What kind of help could I possibly be wanting?" Kyo sneered, his blood starting to grow hot.
"Why, manners of course. It seems to be the thing you are most lacking." Yuki scoffed, his head held high.
"I'll give you this for manners!" Kyo dropped his bag and sent a kick right at his cozens noggin. It would land, he could feel it. Yuki was unprepared.
It didn't
Yuki grabbed Kyo's leg and twisted it so that the cat fell on his back, his head hitting the ground with a thud. "If those are your manners I would hate to see you being rude." Yuki dropped the cat's leg and continued his walk, reassuring Tohru that everything was fine.
Kyo lay there for a few seconds
' damn it'
'damn it'
'damn it damn it damn it damn it'
'damn that rat'
'damn this family'
'damn everything'
"They all hate you anyways"
'exactly.'
"You'll probably never be worth anything more than a cat to them, to any of them."
'I know.'
"You should probably just stop trying."
'no, not yet.'
"Why? After al-"
"NOT YET!" Kyo jumped up, hands covering his ears. He stood there, panting, then grabbed his bag and headed back to school. 'there's still a chance, a chance I might become one of them.'
"Late again Soma? This is the third time this month." His teacher barked as he entered the classroom.
"Give me detention and let me move on." Kyo mumbled, crashing in his seat.
"Detention? What about Community service? I want you in here every evening for the next week and I'll give your assignment from there."
"Yeah, whatever." Kyo slumped, doodling on a paper.
The teacher huffed but returned to teaching the lesson. It was clear she would get nowhere.
"You're such a screwup"
"Shuddup."
Afternoon ended up being about 3:30pm, after a brief debate on skipping Kyo decided that the stupid dog did not need a call from the school and begrudgingly made his way into the classroom.
"Good, you're here. The student council needs help in room A15, they're decorating for a staff member's party." The teacher said, not once looking up from her notes.
Kyo sighed and made his way through the halls, his head bowed.
"Even your teacher won't look at you."
'Just shut up.'
"You can't shut me up I'm you."
'Then go away'
"Wow, yo really are stupid. I'm you."
'Can't you just be quiet?'
"Sure, turn your brain off, make it stop thinking, then I'll be quiet."
-BUMP-
Kyo crashed into something and fell backwards, his head hitting the tile with a sharp thud and sparks flying to his eyes. "THE FU-"
"Stupid Cat." Yuki turned, seemingly unfazed by the crash. "Watch where you're going."
"DAMN RAT YOU WATCH IT."
"What are you even doing here?" Yuki sighed, rolling his eyes.
Kyo's head was pounding, "Teacher sent to help with student council stuff? Decorating a room or something."
"Oh good." Yuki gave a somewhat evil? Smile and placed a box on the still toppled Kyo. "I need these banners hung, one on every wall."
"That's all you're good for, errands"
"Why can't you do it?" Kyo snarked
"Oh, sure, I'll do that and you can call every single staff member to remind them, make sure all the placemats get set at the right spot, organize all these stupid companions to do something helpful, find the decorations there are, and I quote "Must be around here somewhere." And submit the party budget to the schoolboard."
"Whatever" Kyo grumbled, his head spinning. He grabbed the box and stood up. "One on each wall?"
"Are you deaf as well as stupid? Yeah, one on each wall." Yuki turned and scampered off, not unlike his rat self.
Kyo sighed and walked into the room. It was a normal classroom setup, but with the desks and chairs stacked against the wall. 'where to put the banners?' He couldn't put them at normal height because of the stacks of chairs, and the window was against the back wall. 'put it there and it'll be blocked out by the sun… I guess up high they go.'
He grabbed a banner, some tape, and stood on a chair that appeared steady.
"Why are you even here?"
'uh, detention, remember?'
"I meant the other kind of here."
'go away.'
"You know how to get rid of me."
Kyo stood straight, trying to get the tape to stick to the wall. "Damn it." He muttered, standing on his toes.
His world spun
He felt like the ground was a magnet connected to his body
He didn't stop it
He didn't know if he could
It embraced him
There it is. What did you think? Please let me know :3
