Fishy Tails

Chapter 2: Revealed

Kyo's POV

I felt dizzy.

I just wanted to sleep, but something kept nagging me to wake up. I blinked a couple times, to find myself in my room surrounded by my cousins. I groaned as I sat up.

"What happened?" I questioned still trying keep consciences.

"Tohru brought you back; apparently you hit your head and lost consciences." Haru explained bluntly.

My mind raced back to what I saw. I sat up.

"Where is she?" I muttered.

"She's out in the hall asleep. She refused to go until you woke up; she was really concerned." Yuki answered motioning to the hall.

My eyes softened. 'She was worried.'

Haru grinned. "I'll go get her!"

Before I could protest, Haru had already left the room.

I sighed and leaned against the head board. With in a few minutes, Tohru walked into the room.

She smiled at me. "Are you feeling okay?" Tohru asked softly.

"Fine." I muttered quietly.

I gave Haru a pleading look. Catching my drift; he shooed everyone out of the room and closed the door after him. We sat there in a deathly silence until I broke the silence.

"So are you going to explain to me what happened last night, or what?" I questioned dully.

Tohru was silent for a moment until she sighed.

"So you saw." She muttered loud enough for me to hear.

I felt my heart rate speed up as Tohru continued. "I understand that you probably think I'm a freak now, huh?" She laughed bitterly.

I suddenly found myself putting my hand on her shoulder.

She turned to me in surprise. "No! I never could think that!" I replied hastily.

Tohru was silent for a moment.

I felt my face go completely red. "I-I m-mean everyone has problems you just have a bigger problem." I stuttered out.

I wanted to shoot myself, I definitely sounded like a moron.

Tohru sat on the edge of my bed, messing with her hair nervously.

"So do you want to know about the mermaids or not?" Tohru blurted out suddenly.

I grinned.

"Sure, this time I'll make sure not to pass out." I joked half-heartily.

Tohru giggled. "Well, what do you want to know about." Tohru questioned.

I thought over this for a moment before answering,

"What about when you took off like that last night, it was as if you didn't even hear me."

Tohru looked down in guilt. "Well when mermaids see the full moon; we usually have the sudden urge to come to the grotto and just swim." Tohru explained.

My eyes widened in realization and I lowered my head.

"Sorry." I muttered.

Tohru just smiled. Suddenly there was a banging on the door.

"Kyo! Tohru! Are you guys done "Talking!?" Shouted Momiji, emphasized "Talking".

I growled. "Yeah and shut up you damn rabbit!"

Momiji came in skipping, followed by the rest of the family (Minus the skipping).

"Well Tohru I think it's time for you to go, your friends are waiting downstairs for you." Shigure pointed out kindly.

Tohru got from her seat on my bed and made her way out the door. Before she exited the room, she gave me a shy wave.

"Bye Kyo, feel better and I'll talk to you later."

I felt a burst of joy when she said those words….. Then my family had to ruin that for me.

"So Kyo…" Shigure started with that perverted glint in his eye.

I sent him a death glare, that sent him to hide behind Hatori and whimper.

Haru (Black) grinned.

"Someone has a little temper." Momiji teased from behind Haru.

"SHUT UP!" I shouted angrily.

Hatori sighed. "Let's give Kyo some time to clear his mind." Momiji whined but was dragged out by Hiro.

Once the my cousins left, I fell back onto my bed and chuckled.

"It looks like I'm going to have to keep two secrets now." I mused aloud.

With in seconds later, I let sleep envelope me once again.


When I woke up the sun was already shining high in the sky. Deciding I wasn't going to be able to get back to sleep, I trudged down the stairs to the kitchen to get something to eat.

When I got down there, all of my cousins; minus Hatori, Ritsu, Ayame, and Shigure, were already eating.

Kereno turned to me. "Good your up."

I grumbled in reply as I made my way to the fridge.

"Mayu invited us over for lunch today, make sure to be ready." Kereno went on.

I felt myself straighten out at the mere mention of Tohru or anyone who knew her.

Momiji grinned. "I bet Kyo is really happy he's going to go see his girlfriend!"

I wanted to strangle him sometimes, but restrained myself.

"Whatever I'm going to the beach." I snapped rather harshly, but knew no one took it to heart.

"Okay remember; 12:00!" Haru shouted at me on way out the door.


As I walked down the beach, I noticed the lifeguard sitting up on the lifeguard chair near the water; she lived with Tohru.

She had long raven hair and wore a black swimsuit with matching shorts.

I jogged over to her. She turned to me, she seemed to wear a ghost of a smile on her face.

"Hey. Your one of the new neighbors that Tohru keeps talking about, Kyo right?" The girl questioned.

I nodded.

"How'd you guess?" I asked.

She grinned. "The orange hair got me."

I blushed at the answer. "So your Tohru's roomy?" I questioned, completely changing the subject.

The girl nodded. "Yup, I'm Sunako." The girl known as Sunako replied.

My mind flashed back to the little speech Tohru gave me about the her roommates.

Flashback of Speech

"Okay… So why do you live with her?" Kyo questioned, (Completely changing the subject) motioning his head towards Mayu, who was helping Hatori with the grill.

Tohru's eyes cast downwards.

"Well she's like my second mom. She took me and my friends in when we needed it. I mean; Bridgette's parents disowned her because of her dream to surf, Sunako was out on the streets practically dead, and Bridget and my parents passed away not to long ago. Mayu really does have a heart of gold."

End of Flashback

I quickly shook the feeling off and continued to speak with Sunako.

"So, you're going to lunch, right? Tohru would be disappointed if her new "Buddy" didn't show for a event she planned." Sunako mused, and emphasizing the word buddy.

I scowled at her.

"And to think I went through all that trouble to make her that swimsuit to find her some guy for her." Sunako mused on, letting a smirk snake onto her face.

I felt my face heat up at the mere memory of last night.

"So are you going?" Sunako repeated.

I sighed.

"Might as well. I always end up being dragged along anyway." I mutter darkly.

Sunako grinned. "That's the spirit! Well I better get back to the house and help Tohru, before she decides to do it all herself." Sunako mused as she jumped off the lifeguard tower and started jogging towards her house.

Suddenly she stopped and turned back to him.

I rose my eyebrow. "What?"

Sunako grinned again and quickly ran towards me and grabbed my wrist.

"You might as well come over too." Sunako replied as she continued to drag me towards her house.

End of Kyo's POV

As Sunako opened the door she released Kyo wrist.

"Man you have a strong grip!" Kyo whined as he struggled against her iron grip.

Sunako just smiled sweetly back at him as she led him into the house. The house was quite clean when Kyo entered.

Kyo walked into a aqua colored room that had a white couch, a coffee table, a couple lamps, a TV, and a aquarium filled with fish pushed against the far wall.

Also in the room sat a girl with green hair who seemed to be reading a book.

The girl looked form her book and smiled.

"Why hello, you must be Kyo. I'm Bridget. I see Sunako dragged you here." The girl Bridget mused, softly giggling.

Soon after, another girl entered the room. She had blonde hair and wore jean shorts and a baby blue hoodie.

"What's up, I'm Bridgette. But everyone calls me Bridge to make sure we don't screw us two up." Bridge explained pointing towards Bridget.

Kyo nodded in understandment.

"So you here for lunch, right?" Bridge questioned.

"I guess, but my cousins still haven't showed up yet." Kyo replied.

Bridget smiled. "Well we don't mind the company. Besides; Mayu still has work and won't be back for another hour."

"Yeah, but you can look around the house for a little." Bridge suggested kindly.

Kyo shrugged his shoulders and made his way out of the room.

"Oh and Kyo?" Bridge added.

Kyo turned back to them. "Yeah?"

Sunako's face went serious. "Tohru told us you know about the secret." She replied.

Kyo froze, but answered, "So?"

"We just wanted to let you know that if you tell anyone, your ass is pretty much kicked." Sunako continued.

Kyo searched her face and found no evidence of lying.

"I wouldn't even if my life depended on it." Kyo replied coolly, but secretly shaking in fear of Sunako.

Bridget smiled. "We can trust him." She clarified.

Sunako and Bridge soon put down their guards and walked out of the room.

"Don't worry about those two, they just can get really protective of Tohru, after all she been through; she had more tragedy in her life then most girls her age should have."

Kyo's face softened at Bridget's words.

"Well I'm just going to go look around." Kyo muttered as he quickly left the room.

When Kyo left, the girls turned to each other.

"Should we tell him, what WE are?" Bridget questioned.

Sunako smiled. "Soon Bridget, soon." Was all Sunako replied before leaving the room.

'Yes, very soon.'
