Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket, but wish that I could own a few of the bishies from it... So kawaii!
-sigh- Sharing a computer sucks because people seem to reboot it a lot and then I often times lose my stuff because I don't always save it (I'm gonna be better about that from now on) So now I have to start over on chapter 3... I hope you will enjoy this next installment of I Spy Two Cats (I'm so sorry that I update slowly!)
Chapter 3: Anger Flares
Yoshiko POV
I ran back to Shigure's as fast as my legs would carry me. Then I tripped over a rock, cutting open my right knee. I got up and stood there for a moment. Ever since I was a little girl, I felt like an outcast. I would hear people saying how great the rat was and how sorry they were for my parents because I was born a cat. Kazuma had once offered to teach me martial arts, give me a way to blow off steam, or keep myself distracted. But I politely declined, I just couldn't accept his offer. And sometimes, I'd have dreams, of who I believed were the other members of the zodiac. I saw me, when I was a little girl, and all of the others. But I don't remember ever meeting them or anything. Can this get any more confusing? I think not. The Sohma has so many secrets, that even I as a Sohma, don't know all of them...
I heard footsteps running behind me. When I turned around I saw Kyo. I couldn't tell if he was mad at me or disappointed. I stopped then and watched as he slowly walked towards me. Then with one swift motion, he puched my left cheek. It began to turn red and it stung, but I didn't care. I glared at him and turned to leave when he grabbed my wrist. I stopped again and turned around, about to yell, when I saw that his head was down so I couldn't see his face.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" he said sternly.
"I don't see why you care!" I snapped. His grip on my wrist loosened slightly. I felt a little guilty, but really, why did he care? He hasn't exactly been mister-nice-guy you know... Then I felt his grip tighten again. "Let go!" When I tried to pull free he shoved me onto the ground. "Cut it out Kyo!" I tried to kick him but he dodged it. And all I got was another punch, this time in my stomach. My eyes widened momentarily, then I blacked out.
Shigure POV
I heard the door slide open and I came out of my office to see who it was. I saw Kyo with Yoshiko on his back unconscious.
"What happened Kyo!" He said nothing, and walked past me upstairs. "I asked you a question Kyo! What happened to Yoshiko!" Why wasn't he answering? He stopped at the top of the stairs for a moment.
"She'll be fine Shigure. Don't worry."
"Did you do this Kyo!" I felt like my heart had just stopped. He continued to ignore me...
Kyo POV
I carried her upstairs, hoping Shigure wouldn't follow. I almost thought I heard a quiet sob from downstairs, but it must have been my imagination. I opened the door to her room and plopped her onto her bed. I had no idea what was up with her attitude today, but somethin's gotta change. I sat down on the floor and waited for her to regain consciousness. About an hour later her eyes fluttered open. Slowly recalling the events earlier on the path, she shot up and looked around the room, her eyes locking on me. Determinedly she walked over, her hands bawled up into fists. Her eyes were burning with anger.
Normal POV
She took a swing at Kyo, almost hitting him, but he dove out of the way just in time. Her glare intensified as she threw another punch. It made impact with Kyo's left cheek. He kicked her legs out from under her and restrained her. She struggled to get out but could not.
"I want answers Yoshiko!"
"Shut up you stupid cat! Leave me alone!" she broke free and ran off. Kyo stood there in shock. He went into his room, watching her through the window as she ran off into the forest.
Yoshiko POV
What's wrong with me? I feel so angry, but yet, I feel bad that I said those things to Kyo... Maybe I just need some time to cool off...
I sat on a tree stump with my legs held to my chest and rested my chin on my knees. I wished that I could take it all back, everything I said. But I knew that I couldn't. My eyes began to burn, and I knew that the tears were about to start. I didn't want to cry, I had no reason to cry. But I knew that I would. I started to sob into my knees and hoped that no one would come past. Especially not Kyo. He's been a jerk, but why should I be too? I sat there until evening, crying...
I know this chapter was a little odd, but did you like it? I hope so! I'll try to either A) Make the next chapter really long or B) Update with about 2 chapters or so really quickly! Okay? Sound like a deal? Please review if you have the time!
