Chapter 4
Dang Curiosity
Kyo and Tohru did not have another lesson the rest of the week. Tohru would ask him about it, but he would simply walk away. He would barely even talk to her. Tohru was a little upset. She wasn't sure if she had done something or if he simply didn't want to learn anymore. She wanted to tell him that she was sorry, whatever she may have done, but she was, well...nervous. She had never been afraid to talk to him before, aside from stuff about Akito, the curse, etc.
But the worst part of all, Shigure had taken notice in their strange behavior. He couldn't help but wonder what was going on with the two. To him, it was obvious that Kyo had feelings for the young flower and he was sure that (just because he liked to think so) Tohru liked Kyo. A lover's quarrel...? Nah, Tohru would never get mad at either one of them. Maybe they had had a moment and Kyo has become embarrassed...hmmm, what fun!
Shigure couldn't help but think about his weird sensing of presence at that small clearing. Had they been there? What were they doing? And of course, being Shigure, he had thought of the most perverted things possible.
One day, Shigure even bluntly asked Kyo what was going on with him and Tohru.
"Why Kyo? What is wrong with you? Have you and the young flower become intimate behind my back? Because, from experience, one does seem to became shy and enraged by-"
Kyo, wide-eyed and furious screamed, "HELL NO!!" and stomped away to the roof.
Well, maybe he had said more than 'What's up?' but Kyo didn't have to be so protective.
Shigure's nosey-ness had not gone unnoticed by Yuki. Of course he had sensed the uncomfortable atmosphere himself, but he had thought nothing of it. Kyo seemed to get like that sometimes. But Shigure was acting awfully strange. He watched their every move and asked invading questions, which made Kyo worse.
Yuki tried hard not to be nosey like his cousin, but could not seem to help it. There was no reason for that irritable feline to act towards Tohru in any such manor. He caught himself spying on Kyo and Tohru, as well as asking Tohru many questions about Kyo's behavior.
Was there something Kyo did not want them to know? But why was it that it involved Tohru? Yuki had to find out.
Soon, he was doing the same as Shigure. He clung to Tohru even more, he asked questions, and kept tabs on Kyo.
"Hey Tohru! Wait up!" Yuki quickly caught up with Tohru as they walked home. He hadn't been able to talk to her all day; he was so busy with student council and Machi.
"Oh, Yuki-kun! How are you?" Yuki smiled and answered her with a fine.
"Um, I was just wondering. There isn't anything...going on with you...and Kyo are there?" Yuki quickly turned his head and blushed. He couldn't believe he asked that. That was so personal!!! But...he did want to find out...
Tohru gave him a flustered look and mumbled something. He couldn't even understand her, so he gave up this time.
The only thing is, everyone noticed when Yuki did it. Being nosey and annoying was normal for Shigure, I mean, he is a pervert. But Yuki? No...everyone was wondering what was going on with him.
Tohru even asked him if he was sick. She always did that, but he wasn't even coughing now. Kyo stayed even farther away from him, he wouldn't even pass him in the hall.
After coming up with absolutely no evidence, Yuki gave up. Obviously Kyo was just being stubborn or something.
Oh well.
-----------------------------------
One night about two days after the rat gave in, Yuki heard a soft thumping on the roof. He wasn't sure what to do. He was so freakin tired, he hated getting up early, much less in the middle of the night. But he decided it would be best just incase, he didn't want Miss Honda to get hurt. He even knew that Kyo was on the roof, he had been all evening, but why not?
Yuki silently walked outside and looked toward the roof. When he saw what was making the noise, his mouth fell open and it took all he had not to laugh from surprise.
Kyo stood on the roof with his hands held up chest high. He slowly moved side to side and every way else. He was dancing...fluidly. Yuki was amazed. Kyo really did look like he knew what he was doing.
The rat stood and watched him for a minute. He wasn't sure what to do. Should he say something or just let it go? Why was he dancing?
Has he been taking lessons or something? He hasn't even ever danced at New Year's. Maybe Tohru found out and he's embarrassed. I wonder...
But never once did it cross his mind that maybe Tohru had been the ones giving the lessons. In fact, he went inside before he could think anything else. He definitely couldn't let Kyo see him. That might make him part of this small mess.
Kyo stopped dancing and looked down. Had someone just been standing there? Hope not.
---------------------------------------------------
The next day Kyo walked tiredly toward their home. School had sucked and he just knew it was gonna rain. He felt like total and complete crap. He was ill and had smarted off to Tohru today. He hadn't meant to, it just came out. And he knew she had to be upset. But she was upset anyway, and he knew it.
Since they hadn't been having lessons, Tohru wasn't talking to him much. He was sure that she wasn't mad at him, she was probably just embarrassed or felt as if it was her fault. But it wasn't. She couldn't help that he was pretty much afraid to show emotion in front of Yuki. She couldn't help that Yuki came close to finding out about the dancing. She couldn't help that he was completely pathetic for being like this.
Upon coming home, Kyo went straight to his room and slammed the door. Shigure stared at the small scene.
Hmmmm...what has happened now I wonder? Oh my…
Kyo fell down on his bed and closed his eyes. In seconds he was asleep and dreaming, not that he knew that.
Kyo walked silently down the trail toward their dancing area. He was wearing his pajamas with no shoes. He heard movement up ahead of him and realized that he was following somebody. No wait, people. It sounded like two of them.
He quickly, quietly sped up and listened. I guess you could say he was curious. He heard a girl giggle while a guy laughed. They sounded like they were flirting. What was going on?
He saw them turn to their left and slowed down. He crept towards the small clearing and watched. He instantly realized whom it was that was giggling. He knew it sounded familiar. It was Tohru...and she was holding hands with...YUKI!? What the crap was freaking going on!?!?!
Kyo almost jumped out and screamed at that dang rat, but he suddenly felt too tired to move. He instead stared toward the couple. They slowly moved closer to one another. Yuki suddenly put a hand upon Tohru's hip and she on his shoulder. They instantly started to dance. They were dancing Tohru and Kyo's dance...and they were close. Too close. Why wasn't Yuki transforming? What the heck was happening?
Kyo wanted so bad to get up and punch that thing in the face. But he seriously could not move his legs. And then, it started to rain. Big time. It was pouring.
Kyo hated this, but he still sat silently watching the two, since he couldn't move. As the rain started coming down harder and harder, they stopped. Yuki and Tohru stared at each other. Then, they both started coming closer, and closer until...
"GYAH!!!!" Kyo sat bolt upright. He couldn't hardly breath. What the hell?! Why...but...what is wrong with me? That can't...it can't be real. I...I have to get Tohru to dance with me again! I won't let that happen!!!
Kyo got up off his bed and stormed down the stairs. Curiosity killed the cat…or in this case, motivated the very, very angry cat.
