Chapter Four: Confessions

As, I watched Tohru and Yuki walk to school outside the window of the new room that I now shared with Tohru, I had the powerful urge to follow them. I knew later today that Yuki would talk to Tohru about the possibility of her (our) memories being erased. I knew the heartwarming "Would you still be my friend?" scene would follow right afterward. I wanted to be there too. I sighed. I'm not even registered yet…

"Kyo, would you be so kind as to fix my roof?" Shigure called from downstairs. "That's the least you could do, you know!"

I heard a huffy Kyo storm past my door. I poked my head out just in time to see him turn into the other room. I small smile crept upon my face as a slinked over to the doorway.

Just as he started up the step stool, I shouted, "Hiya, Kyo-san!"

Just like in the tree, Kyo fell down off the ladder. "WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" He glared at me, totally pissed off. "Do you like scaring people while they're high up?"

I giggled and then shrugged. "Sorry, couldn't resist."

Kyo muttered something under his breath and continued what he was doing. Since I obviously had nothing better to do, I sat down in a corner to watch. He measured the size of the hole and came back down from the ladder. He left the room for a few minutes and returned carrying a heavy tarp-ish material. he spread it out on the floor and started drawing out the measurements of the hole.

"Would you stop that humming?!" Kyo snapped.

I didn't even notice I started humming. "Oh… ok, sorry."

After a few seconds, Kyo asked, less annoyed, "What were you humming just now?"

"Sympathy by the Goo Goo Dolls," I replied.

"Never heard of them."

Of course you haven't. You're in a book, duh. "I like them." I thought for a moment. "I don't know… but you kind of remind me of that song so I guess I started humming it."

Kyo stopped his work. "How do I remind you of a song?"

"Once again, I don't know," I said. "I really like music. I get so easily reminded of songs by just random stuff. Don't ask me, that's just how it is. I personally like it." I felt myself smile.

Kyo starred at me for a moment. "Why?"

"It's fun," I replied.

"How is that fun?" he asked skeptically before returning to his work.

I shrugged again. "Um… can I still hum?"

Kyo glanced at me for a second. "Sure, whatever."

Happy, I started humming again as I watched Kyo. He got back up on the ladder and started spreading a smelly glue on the ceiling. He then pasted the tarp-thing to the ceiling. He climbed down the ladder to admire his handiwork.

"Are you sure that's gonna stay?" I asked. It looked like it was going to fall any minute.

"Sure it will," Kyo said hotly. "Heck, if they want it better, call a repair guy." More awkward starring. "You can leave now."

"Oh," I said, standing up quickly. That actually took a lot longer than I expected. I quietly left the room. When I reached my room, I noticed something shiny on the floor by the window. I gasped. No way!

The silver rock was here! What in the world…? I reached for it but hesitated. If I touched it… would it send me back? But I don't want to go back yet! I—

"HUAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"

I almost jumped out of my skin at the sound of the angry cry of an angry kyo. I dashed out of my room. When I entered the scene of the crime, I burst out laughing.

The tarp-thing fell off the ceiling, as I predicted it would, and plastered itself to Kyo instead. He looked so silly, all frustrated trying to get it off. It was like when you get tape or something full of static stuck to you and it won't come off. Except, Kyo looks a lot more ridiculous doing so. Still laughing, I went over and yanked it off of him.

"OWWWWW!!" Kyo rubbed his heard. I assumed that took a few hairs out. Ouch.

In between giggles I managed to say, "I guess I was right."

Embarrassed and pissed again, Kyo stormed out of the room again and returned this time carrying a roll of duck tape. Hey, silence is golden but duck tape is silver. And it can fix anything. All hail the power of duck tape, I thought as Kyo got back up on the ladder.

"You know, I think you should apologize to Tohru," I said. I needed to encourage this scene in the book. I knew it was important.

"What? Why?" Kyo said, annoyed because he couldn't get the tape started.

" 'Cause, you cut her off yesterday and started yelling and throwing a fit," I retorted. "Excuse us for being girls."

Kyo sighed. "Yeah…ok…I guess I'll do that." Is that a Kyo-blush I'm seeing?!

"Well, they should be getting back… right about…now."

"We're home!" said Tohru from somewhere downstairs.

I sidestepped out of the room, saying hi to Tohru on the way, as she came in to visit Kyo. I could already hear his awkward apology but then –

"HELLO!" sang Shigure. "I'm home! Kyo!!! You better not being doing anything stupid and wrecking my house again!!"

As if on cue (which it was so why am I saying that?) Kyo got all huffy again and marched out of the room. Tohru peeked her head out of the door, curious.

"I think that was an apology," I said, nudging her in the arm.

"Yes," Tohru said happily. I followed her downstairs to where shigure was.

"Hey, guess what?" Shigure said in a perky voice. "Akito says you two can stay here. And so is Kyo-kun."

This of course pissed Kyo off more, Yuki got suspicious, and Tohru started thanking them. Just like in the book, I thought. An image of the rock in my room flashed through my mind. The book… this… all of this…

"Emily-chan?" Tohru had come over to me and was now looking at me with concerned eyes.

They should know. I can't keep this charade up forever. Calling their names… knowing when and where events will happen… they'll get suspicious. I was totally and completely aware of how much I've already interfered. And now… tears?

"Emily-chan!" Tohru gasped as silent tears leaked out of my eyes.

"Ah! I-I'm sorry!" I stammered, trying to wipe my eyes. More leaked out. Darn these tears! "I-I can't control when…ah jeez…"

Yuki, and those gorgeously soft eyes, where now next to me. "Are you ok, Reen-san?"

I sighed, a couple more tears escaping my eyes. "No."

The room was silent. Everyone was watching me. Great! Now tears and blushing?

"I… I have a confession to make…" Here goes nothing…
