My Kyo-kun...that's what she said. Kyo thought, walking down the street. Amazing, wasn't it? When the girl first came, he hated her. But that hate soon turned to fondness, fondness to overprotectiveness, and overprotectiveness to love. He really couldn't deny it any longer. He loved her. And that was the problem. She didn't love him. And probably never would, in more than a friendly way. She was made for the rat, anyone could see. He knew she would never belong to him. But even then...My Kyo-kun...she may never belong to him, but he would always belong to her. Even if she didn't know it. He was broken from these depressing thoughts when Momiji, the cute, hyper, rabbit of the zodiac bumped into him.
"Kyo!" Momiji cried. "Kyo-kun's here!"
"Yeah." Kyo mumbled, walking on.
"Is Kyo-kun sad?" Momiji asked. "Where's Tohru? Does Kyo-kun not walk home with her anymore?"
"She had to stay after school for something. Dunno what." Kyo replied. He was not having a good day, and the happy, little rabbit wasn't helping matters at all.
"Oh." Momiji was silent for a moment. "Is Kyo depressed because Tohru had to stay back?"
"NO! WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK I LIKE TOHRU? I DO NOT!!!! SO STOP SAYING IT!" Kyo yelled, angry. He was so fed up with the world it was annoying!
"I didn't ask if you liked Tohru. I asked if you were sad because she wasn't here. There is a big difference you know." Momiji said softly, seriously.
Kyo opened his mouth to retort, but then closed it. The rabbit was right. There was a difference. "Arrgh! Why am I so angry? I have nothing to be angry about! Why?" Kyo groaned, half to himself.
"Sometimes, it's better to take chances." Kyo stopped and listened to him. "No matter the risk, no matter the thought of hurt, it's better to know. Look around you Kyo. As much as you deny it, there are plenty of people who like you, even love you. You're just too blind to see it. Take a chance. Get to know people. Try Kyo. Please? For Tohru's sake?" Momiji ended this serious speech in his usual happy voice. Then he skipped off, joining a few girls walking ahead of them, talking happily. Kyo continued walking, not noticing where he was going, just thinking about what Momiji had told him. Heh. The silly rabbit was right. But he was holding off. Telling whatever it was he felt to Tohru wasn't a good idea. The last thing he needed was his friendship with her to blow up in his face. He was holding off. Waiting. And with that thought in his head, Kyo walked home in a happier mood.
My Kyo-kun...
Yes I know. Somber, depressing, whatever you want to call it I know this chapter was weird. I'm in a black mood today, and decided that I felt like writing. As it appears, it wasn't a good thing. But whatever, I'm not changing this chapter. But still, don't worry. The rest will be happy, and cheerful. I think...
