Chapter 2. Demon in Disguise
Yuki stood silently on the porch as he stared down the empty path, he could here the birds chirp, and the rustle of the leaves as the wind blew. It was peaceful just being there, the sun was spreading it rays of warmth over the house. Next to him her heard a loud obnoxious cough, and the unnecessary rustle of a news paper. He gave Shigure an evil look, "is that really necessary?" he questioned. Shigure gave a smile, "no not really but I can't stand silence, it's so, boring." he replied back happily. Yuki decided it was best to just let it go early on "so where did momji disappear to?" he asked.
Shigure turned the page "oh he said he was leaving early I guess he has a meeting with his mother, father and little sister today, about the truth." Yuki's eyes widened "really but what will happen if things take a turn for the worst, how will that make Momiji feel?" Shigure put down the paper "I honestly dont know, but I think he will be fine." The wind blew a calm breeze as Yuki turned back to see a new sleek silver car pulling up the pathway. "Hatori? No wait Hatori has a black car..." Shigure let out a giggle "tsk, tsk Yuki, you would think with your perfect vision you would be able to tell that's your dear sweet cousin."
The car was silent as Kyo turned it off, and before exiting the car Tohru smiled at Kyo as he drew her in his arms before kissing her. Pulling away she smiled and blushed as she was getting out. Yuki came up to them and looked at the car in disbelief. "Where did you get this from?" He asked moving his hand across the hood gently feeling the warmth that the sun gave it. Kyo smiled at her proudly twirled the keys around his finger "Akito gave it to me pretty boy, you jealous?" Yuki pulled out a piece of paper with his, and kyo's name at the top and Yuki's total wins (a lot) and losses (which happened to be none,) and kyo's total losses (a lot) and wins, (which happened to be none.)
Kyo held up a fist "Fine girly boy you want to play that game?" He pulled Tohru closer to his side "Ha beat that." Kyo replied with a smirk, to him winning or losing no longer mattered to him because the curse had been lifted from the Zodiacs, and he had Tohru by his side. Yuki raised an eyebrow, then garbing Tohru's hand said " do you want to go to the secret base with me?" Tohru having no idea what was going on, happily replied "Of course, maybe we can get something while were there." Kyo shot him an evil look, but for once decided to let it go because he knew he still had her and nothing was going to change that.
Kyo went up to his room and put some old pictures and stuff into a box that he was using for packing. As he started sorting through them, he found one in particular that he happened to be vary found of. The picture showed him and Tohru at school, he had been sulking that day and she had wanted to cheer him up, Hanna snapped the picture quickly as tohru laid her hands and face on his head. She looked so beautiful in that picture she could have been a fallen Angel. As he was ready to put it away in the box he stopped himself and instead put it in his wallet so that way he would always have it.
--------------Random chat-----------------------
", I think were out of eggs" yuki said in a gloom voice as he looked around the refrigerator. Tohru looked up from the table and blinked "oh that's alright we don't need any tonight, so I'll just run to the market tomorrow and get them then. Yuki let out a breath as he sat across from her, as she read some magazine. "What are you reading ? he asked curiously. "Well um, you see its, a um" she stuttered embarrassedly "It's a magazine for well cooking, and uh other stuff like that." Yuki shot her a smile "Is it a dating magazine?" Tohru turned a deep scarlet as Yuki chuckled "Is alright I actually caught Machi with one, although she was ripping in, sharpie-ing it to death." Tohru let out a giggle "well they do try to make every thing seem to perfect in here, but if it were true I think it would be great."
--------------Next day----------------
"I'm leaving, but I'll be back soon." Tohru called as she left the house. Earlier that morning Kyo had offered her a ride, but she just smiled and told him the market wasn't far, and she could walk there. She really liked the car, but she didn't think it was necessary for everything. The morning dew glistened in the sun, and there was a gentle breeze that morning.
She crossed the street to the store when something, or someone caught her eye. "Good morning Akito, um I didn't expect to see you here." Akito looked around "Well I didn't exactly plan to be here but I guess someone thought I needed to get out more to make friends and all the other things I don't really care about." she replied rolling her eyes sarcastically. Tohru felt a little uneasy but decided to ask anyway. "Akito, would you like to get some tea with me?"
Tohru squirmed in her chair as the tea was being served. She really wanted to be friends with Akito, but for some reason she wasn't quite comfortable. "So um Akito how are you?" Akito let out a huff "I'm ok but I'm getting aggravated, Hatori has me on these pills to keep my temper down, but they just make me more angry." she turned to face Tohru, letting a smile cross her face "So what about you and Kyo? Must be fun getting to move, and starting over huh?"
Tohru smiled back "Yeah I think it will be great, we can get an apartment, and while he's working at the Dojo, I can go find myself a job." Akito raised an eyebrow "You really think that he's going to let you support him? I don't think he would let you do that, maybe is might be better if you just stay here for the time being."
Tohru looked a little upset by this "I am going with him, even if he doesn't want me to, I cant just let him go like that, I want to be with him, no matter where he is, as long as I'm by his side, we'll find a way." Akito became a little angry, she wanted her to give upon him. She didn't hate Tohru, she hated that cat, she was sure tohru could do much better.
"Would you sacrifice his life for your own desires? If you two go together, you'll end up struggling to make a living. He will constantly be torn into two, trying to support you both and maintaining a job, this is something he needs to do by himself." God! Why did she have to be so persistent? Why didn't she just run off and fall in love with some one else? Anyone but him, he is the cat and will always be.
"He will come back, but this is something he has to do by him self." Akito finished in a calm voice. Tohru stood up suddenly "I'm sorry Akito, I'm selfish I wont let him go just like that, so if you will excuse me I have to go." she said with a hint of bitterness in her voice. Akito let out a breath "Okay goodbye, but lets meet here next Sunday," then she suddenly added "I would never come here by myself that is." Tohru gave her a smile the best she could and quickly made her exit.
--------------
When Tohru got home she quickly put up the food she had bought, and got to work on lunch. She was frustrated, confused, and on the verge of tears. Ever since that chat with Akito she really did wonder if she was just going to make life harder on him, if she was holding him back? She furiously began chopping some vegetables, and other things that she was planning on making.
As they sat down to giant table of food, the three men all wounded the something "Is something going on today?" they said at once. Tohru looked at them blinking and began laughing "no I just got carried away today, but don't worry I wont make the mistake for dinner." Yuki grinned " with all this food I don't think you'll need to make anything for dinner, all we have to do is heat it up." She smiled "I'm sorry but I was kind of zoning while cooking, but I promise it wont happen again."
Tohru couldn't sleep that night over and over again she couldn't get the thoughts out of her head. Was she holding him back? Was she just being selfish? Finally the thoughts pulled her over the edge, she hoped off her bed and crept quietly across the hall to kyo's room. She had to talk to him, other wise she would just torment herself all night. She tried to creep in there quietly but there were boxes scattered every now and then, and she was sure she broke a few toes.
From the bed she watched as Kyo Sat up quickly from the commotion "Tohru? What are you doing?" he whispered in a confused tone. Tohru sat next to him "I cant sleep" she mumbled under a breath. He tilted his head so he could get a better look at her face "What's wrong? Is there anything I can do?" he asked in a worried tone. She looked into his eyes "Yes I want you to answer me truthfully…" She looked down at her hands before continuing "Kyo I really love you but I want to hear the truth, by going with you, am I causing you any pain? Will I be a bother to you?" She looked up at him again "You you rather me stay here and wait?" Tears starting rolling down her cheeks.
Kyo felt uneasy, had he been the one causing her so much pain this whole time? He pulled her into a hug "Tohru there's no way you could ever cause me any pain, and you could never bother me, you make me want to do my best." he wiped the tears from her eyes "And I want you to come with me, it would make me really happy, the only way it would ever upset me is if you came but you didn't want to." She bilked up at him "your right im sorry, I was afraid I was being to selfish…"
Kyo held her the rest of the night as she inally go some sleep, thinking of their wonderful life together.
