-1HI! Lately I have been REALLY lazy, I've been sleeping a lot and I've been slacking in homework T-T….how bad. But I always still have time to write, these are times when I'm not sleeping and when I am completely and utterly bored. So, let's get on with the chapter shall we??
I Will Protector Her
Chapter Two:
'Tohru?'
At the sound of Kyo's voice she looked up, her eyes widened. Kyo looked at the scene before him, he had no idea how to react, he was still frozen at the spot just staring.
'What, what have you done?' his voice was barely above a whisper, he could hear Tohru panting and crying.
'I-I, didn't….he just…a-and then,' Tohru was trying to explain, but she knew she wasn't making any sense, so she just stopped talking overall, she couldn't stand looking at Kyo in the eye, now that he's seen what she's done, she broke down in tears, though worse then the tears Kyo had found her in.
'Tohru!,' Kyo yelled out her name, he was no longer frozen on the spot he ran to her kneeling beside her, he grabbed her hand, he wanted to hug her so bad, have her cry on his chest, but they both knew she couldn't.
'I'm sorry, Kyo, I'm so sorry! I thought I could make things better, but I just made a mistake a terrible mistake!' she cried, she looked him in the eye and expected to see hatred and spite, but none was found, instead there was something else, she's never seen it in his eyes before so she didn't know what it was.
'Calm down Tohru, just stay calm and breathe,' Kyo whispered into her ears, a few seconds past and her breathing became steady again, he looked at her and gave a her a soft smile. She didn't know how to react, she felt like melting into his arms. He quickly looked away blushing, she did the same. They both stared at the body lying in front of them. Unmoving, not breathing, no sign of it living. Kyo held Tohru's hand tighter. Akito's body was absolutely pale, blue. His eyes were still open, when she looked in them, it looked as if he was still glaring at her, even though there was no longer a life inside his body. Akito was scary, but Akito was much more scarier dead.
'Tell me,' Kyo said. Tohru looked away from Akito's corpse and Kyo's face. She felt a gentle hand on her cheek, Kyo's hand. She was shocked at first, but when his hand guided her head so that it was facing Kyo's again, she knew, she was safe as long as she was with him.
'Tohru, please tell me what happened, tell me how… what happened between you and Akito,' Kyo asked. His voice was so gentle, Tohru would rarely hear his voice like this, when most of the time he would be yelling at Yuki or Shigure or anyone for that matter. Tohru gave a slow nod, and held his hand tighter.
'Akito, he tried to…kiss me…'
((Flashback))
'Then don't keep me waiting, Tohru Honda,' Akito's face was leaning closer and closer to Tohru's. Tohru was confused, what was he doing?
'A-Akito-sama?' Tohru's voice was shaky, he was getting closer and closer, until finally his lips clashed with hers, hard. Tohru eyes widened, she was frozen, completely frozen. 'Akito is kissing me!' Tohru thought, 'he-he stole my first kiss! No! It wasn't meant to happen like this! No, no, no, no'
'NO!'
--SLAP--
Tohru's eyes were shut tight, when she realized what she had done her eyes opened, wide. She had just slapped Akito. She stared at her hand, it was shaking like crazy and it wouldn't keep still, tears were prickling her eyes but she held it back, she was NOT going to cry. Not now. She looked up and saw Akito's head still frozen in the direction she had slapped him. His hand slowly rose up to touch his red cheek. His bangs were covering his eyes so she couldn't see his reaction.
'You…' his voice was colder than ever. Tohru took a step back, 'You slapped me!!!' His voice was screeching loud.
'I-I,' Tohru stuttered she didn't know what to say, what was she meant to say after what she's done? Right now, she had to embrace herself as to what was to come.
'How dare you!' his head whipped towards her, she took another panicked step back, 'Now. You. Will. Get. What's. Coming,' between each word he took a stride towards her, each stride she took numerous steps back. Until her back hit the wall, Akito took one last stride until she was trapped. He slammed his hands on the wall, so that her head was caged in, she flinched. He smashed his lips to hers again, this time Tohru didn't need to think, this was self-defence. She pushed Akito away, she tried to run for the door, she was almost there! A hand gripped her wrist, Tohru gasped and looked behind her and saw Akito, his eyes were full of evil. EVIL!
'No,' Akito flung her away from the door, she landed on the floor with a big thud, she knew she had gotten winded by the impact on her back. She looked around her, she was near a bunch of flower pots, an inch closer, she could have landed on them, breaking her skull or any other vital body part. She tried her best to get up but was too slow, Akito flung himself on top of her. Tohru let out a scream but was soon muffled up by Akito's bony hands. As soon as he took his hands off her mouth he kissed her again, she felt his tongue intrude her mouth, her eyes widened. She tried hitting him, trying to beg him to stop but his mouth covered hers so she could only manage a muffled sound. She kept hitting him, but her hands were suddenly restricted by his hands, she couldn't move.
Her eyes searched around the room anything that would help him get off of her, the flower pots! His grip had loosened after she had given up the struggle. She slowly removed his hand off of hers, she reached for the closest pot. She struggled to get a hold of one, her hand searching for a pot, it was hard to see from where Akito was holding her down. Finally she got one! Getting a good grip on it, she picked it up, slowly, hauling it over Akito she smashed into his head.
Akito let out a scream of pain, his mouth finally released hers. Still holding the pot in her hand, she pushed him off of her and tried to run for the door again, only this time a hand snatched her ankle so she fell to the floor again. Instinct hit her so she hit him over the head again with the flower pot, again and again she kept smashing his head, until she realized the grip on her ankle was gone, and a puddle of blood was now surrounding her. She dropped the flower pot in fright, looking around her, the blood was coming from Akito, the red liquid flowing down his head. She scrambled away from the non-moving body.
'Is he?' Tohru thought to herself, the tears she had held back were now flowing down her cheeks like rivers, she slowly but scarcely crawled back towards Akito's body.
'Akito-sama?' she whispered, no response. She repeated his name over and over again, hoping that there would a be a response, but none came, 'oh kami,' she said to herself, she broke down in tears, stooping over Akito's body. She heard yelling from outside the door but chose to ignore it. She had killed Akito. She had killed the God of the Zodiac.
((End of flashback))
Tohru finished telling her story that had happened not even an hour ago. She looked into Kyo's eye and noticed unshed tears. Before she knew it, he hugged her, he hugged her so tight she felt his warmth.
'I'm sorry Tohru, I'm so sorry! If only I had been here earlier,' Kyo said to her. Tohru's eyes widened.
'Kyo! Don't blame this on yourself! You weren't here when this happened, how can you blame yourself for something I did,' Tohru told him.
'That's the point, Tohru! I wasn't here! If I was here I could've have stopped him, all of this wouldn't have gone this far if I had only came earlier,' Kyo hugged her even tighter. Tohru cried even harder with his words. Then realization hit them.
'Kyo! You…didn't transform!' Tohru said, Kyo looked at her astonished, she was right, there was no pink smoke, no cat version him, just normal human Kyo.
'You…broke the curse Tohru! You broke the curse!' Kyo said happily.
'I wish I had done it in a different way though,' Tohru said depressingly.
'Tohru co-' Kyo was cut off by sirens. Both froze. Kyo got up and looked out the window. Cops.
'The police are here,' Kyo said to Tohru. Her eyes widened.
'What? H-how?'
'The maids probably called them after I barged in here,' Kyo quickly went over to Tohru, he grabbed her gently by the arm, she stood up along side him, he rushed her towards the door.
'Kyo, where are we going?' Tohru asked.
'Not we, you.' Kyo said to her, she looked at him confused.
'What do you mean?'
'I mean, I want you to run,' he told her, Tohru's eyes widened.
'What about you?! No! I'm not leaving you!,' Tohru said. Kyo shook his head.
'I'm staying here, you have to go Tohru before they catch you, please leave!' he yelled.
'But then their going to think you did it! Their going to think you killed Akito!' Tohru shouted back. Kyo gave her a stare that explained it all, Tohru gasped, 'no, NO!' Tohru shouted.
'It's the only way! If we both run they'll soon find out you did it! If they just find me it'll just be plain and simple that I killed him!' Tohru was shaking her head, Kyo held her shoulders tightly, 'Tohru, listen to me,' she was still shaking her head, 'Listen!' she looked up at him, crying more than ever now, 'it's the only way to clear your name!'
'Then don't let them clear my name! I'll confess that I did it! I can't let you take the blame! I WON'T LET YOU!' she yelled out, she was falling to the floor, but Kyo quickly picked her up, trying to hold her stable.
'Tohru! Just run!' Kyo said to her, he opened the paper door and was relieved to see no one out there… yet. He gently pushed Tohru out of the room.
'No!' she fought back.
'They'll be here any minute now, you have to run before they come here! Please Tohru I'm begging you to run,' Tears were in Kyo's eyes, he tried his best to hold it in, but he knew it was hopeless.
'Why?' Tohru asked looking him straight in the eye, 'why do you have to do this? WHY?!' she demanded. Kyo looked away.
'Kyo!' she yelled. He looked at her, right in the eyes, tears now rolling down his cheeks.
'Because I love you!' he shouted, Tohru was shocked, 'I love you Tohru, and if I see you go to jail for this it would kill me inside! I have to protect you! I HAVE TO PROTECT YOU! Lately… all I would always do is watch, not now, I have to… you have to understand…. I have to protect you, even if it means giving up my freedom' he yelled. Tohru couldn't stand it anymore, she was crying so bad now, she knew it was going to take days for her to stop. She lunged at him, hugging him tighter than ever. Kyo luckily kept himself steady and didn't fall to the floor, he responded by hugging her back, he kissed the top of her.
'Tohru, please, run,' he said, his voice was pleading, desperate. Tohru understood now. She looked up into his amber eyes, it would probably be the last time she would see him.
'Kyo, thank you, thank you so much. You have done so much for me. So much! I love you. And for you I will run,' Kyo untangled himself from Tohru's hands.
'Go now,' he told her, she nodded. She slowly turned away she waited for five seconds to pass.
'Tohru,' Tohru turned around once again to face Kyo, he took a step towards her and kissed her. Tohru was shocked at first but responded to the kiss, this kiss was what she wanted to be her first. Gentle and passionate. And with Kyo, the one she loved. They broke a part after the longest fives seconds of their life.
'Now go, run!' Kyo said to her. He took a step back, she nodded and turned around three seconds passed until she broke into a run, bolting out of the building, until she turned a corner and Kyo could no longer see her. Kyo's bangs were covering his eyes, covering the tears rolling down his cheeks. He took one deep breath before going back into the room, slamming the door behind him. He stood there in one spot for a few seconds before walking towards Akito's dead corpse. He kneeled down beside it, he had to at least look like he was the one who did it. He dipped his hands into Akito's puddle of blood, smearing it all over himself, his pants and shirts, his arms and face. He ruffled his hair up more. Then he spotted the flower pot Tohru had used, he picked it up and kept it in his hand. He kneeled there for a while, waiting until he could hear footsteps outside the door. He took a deep breath.
The door opened and it revealed the maid who had confronted before, as soon as she saw him and Akito's body she screamed, a high-pitched scream that people from miles away could hear. Kyo closed his eyes, counted to ten and opened them again, he lifted his head, looking at all the cops as they all filed in, their guns pointing at him.
'Put your hands up!' they yelled. Kyo did.
'Drop your weapon! I said drop your weapon!' another cop shouted, Kyo let the flower pot drop to the floor, as it made it final crack and broke into little pieces, the remaining dirt pouring out of it. A cop came towards him and put his gun away, reaching for the cuffs.
'Look like a criminal, act like one,' Kyo thought inside his head, and he did as he instructed himself. As soon as the cop grabbed his arm to hook a cuff on him, Kyo snatched his hand twisting it behind his back, the cop yelled in pain. Numerous cops were yelling commands at him all at once, something about letting the man go, but no, he wasn't going to act so simple. A loud crack echoed through the room, the maid gasped and took a step back. Kyo broke the cops arm and threw him to the floor but did nothing else to him. He sensed someone coming from behind him, but did nothing, he was done acting. He let the person behind him tackle him to the floor, more cops piled onto him. Kyo didn't even give so much of a grunt of pain, he just let them tackle him, pile onto him, and then cuff him without a word.
They lead him out of the building, two cops were right behind him holding his cuffed arms the other bunch of cops just following behind. As soon as he walked out of the door he saw the colours of the sirens going around and around, the sky had become dark and then he saw all the people crowding around the building, cops trying to back them away. Kyo looked at all the people, most of them looking at him in fear, but he didn't care, these were just like the people when he was little, when they would just keep a far distance from him because he was the cat.
Then he saw Momiji, the blonde boys excited face dropped as soon as he noticed Kyo was the criminal, Haru beside him, even broke out of his poker face and looked shocked, He saw Hatori, a worried look written all over his face, even though he tried to keep it straight. Beside him Ayame, his normally joyful looking face looking absolutely gob smacked, Ritsu was there as well, he knew he was screaming apologies though he didn't hear over all the people's whispers and sirens.
Kureno was next to spot, his face didn't make any expression at all, then he spotted Hiro and Kisa holding hands, Kisa was crying into Hiro's chest and Hiro looked at Kyo, not in hate, but sympathy, it was definitely different from him. Rin was leaning against the wall shaking her head, she looked at Kyo and gave a little smile, probably happy he killed Akito. And then he spotted Kagura, as soon as she saw him in cuffs and covered in blood she broke out in tears, she looked at Kyo, in absolute pity, and he hated it.
When he almost reached the police car he was to ride in he noticed a car being parked, he looked at it and found it familiar, then he saw the people that came out of it. First Shigure, he looked excited at first, like Momiji, he probably got word that there was a real live arrest, but as soon as he saw the criminal was Kyo his face dropped, the smile disappeared, he saw the blood all over him and just like that he knew exactly what he had done. Yuki came out of the car and straight away caught Kyo's eyes, Yuki's eyes widened, but Kyo couldn't tell what emotion was stirring up inside him. And then the last person came out of the car a wave of shame washed over Kyo. Kazuma. Kazuma saw Kyo, but Kyo quickly looked away as soon as he saw the water in his master's eyes.
Everyone stared at him, all of them saying something, though the all of the zodiacs stood silent all of them with a different expression written on their faces. Kyo kept his tears inside him, he tried to keep a straight angry face, it was a face he always had on him right? Then why was it so hard to do it now?
He finally reached the police car, one of the cops opened the door for him, but before Kyo went into the car, he turned around and noticed the path from the building to the car wasn't a very long one, but when he was walking through it, it felt like a whole half an hour went past, probably identifying everyone of his family member's facial expression made him forget about time.
'Get in, kid,' the cop grunted. Kyo went inside the car, the cop making sure he doesn't hit head. As soon as he was in the car, he slammed the door shut. The police cars window were tinted so they could not see Kyo, which was a relief to him, because he was getting tired of being stared at.
He let out a big sigh, he leaned his head on the window, as the car engine started her look down, looking at the cuffs around his wrists, they made it extra tight for him, and Kyo had only now noticed there were scratches from the metal, and yet he still didn't feel the pain. He then looked at his bracelet, he no longer needed that, but he wasn't going to take it off, it was his only memory of being cursed, even though it was hell, having his wrist with out it…he felt naked. He looked out the window.
'Be safe, Tohru.'
