Chapter Four: Declaration Lane
Kyo's POV
I looked at her in shock.
BANG!And I was back to human form.
Tohru turned around quickly, face in her hands, still crying.
I quickly turned around, and hurriedly got dressed.
When I was done, I walked around and knelt down in front of her. I cupped her chin in my hand, pulling her hands away from her face with the other.
She wouldn't look at me.
"Tohru – please – look at me?"
She was silent for a few more moments before taking a big breath, and locked her eyes with mine. I could see the pain in her eyes – and all I wanted to do was ease them.
"Tohru – I'm telling the truth. I really… truly… don't want to cause you any more pain than I already am…" I choked up at the end, and dropped her chin, looking away.
She turned my head back to her.
"Kyo-kun – please – look at me?"
I obliged and was shocked to see the warmth in her eyes – but there was still pain, hidden as best she could. She was trying to be strong for me – she was worrying about me, when she should be worrying about herself!
I stayed silent, though.
"Kyo-kun. I can't stand it when you're like this. Didn't we vow, or at least I did, to share everything with each other? To stay together? You're not making it easy Kyo-kun. But – I won't lose hope on you yet. Because, I will stay with you until the end – until the time when you must go away." She whispered the last part, and dropped my chin, and buried her face in her hands.
I almost smiled. Maybe – she does care about me… should I - ? But – I don't want to hurt her! There is no easy solution… my smile faded.
She looked aback at me, trying to dry her tears.
"Kyo-kun? Do you… not want to stay with me? Is that why you're like this?" I saw tears forming in her eyes again.
"No! Tohru! Of course not! Don't you see?" I gasped, horrified at myself for making her think that. That was unforgivable. I was worrying her even more than I thought I had been.
"See what?"
"That – the reason I'm acting like this, is because I didn't want you to know… about me going away. Because I… didn't want to make you worry. But – it seems like I failed." I paused. "Tohru… I don't want to leave you. I want to stay with you – forever…"
And, I leaned down, and kissed her.
