Chapter Four
Yuki and Tohru caught up with me. "Kara, what's wrong?" Yuki asked, concerned. He touched my shoulder and I stopped and looked up at him, then over at Tohru. "Shigure..he said if she knows the curse, he's gonna hafta inform Him.." I looked up into Yuki's purple eyes and could see the look of fear in them. "Who?" I heard Tohru's voice. "I'm..I'm really sorry about today. I didn't think, but I didn't want them to fight, but I didn't think.." Yuki and I sighed together, and then I smiled. "You're good at keeping secrets, right?" Tohru nodded. "I will not ever tell a soul!" I looked up at Yuki. "Maybe...just maybe Shigure will convince Him not to erase her memory."
Yuki nodded. "Erase..my..memory?" Tohru asked. Yuki nodded slowly. "It's cause you know." he said slowly. "But, if you keep it a secret, Ha'ri won't erase it." Tohru nodded. "See? She won't tell! Now c'mon before were late." I said and started running towards school, making it five minutes before the bell rang. I changed my shoes, grabbed the books I needed and headed off to class.
The morning went by quick and I had free time last period. I decided to wander the halls aimlessly, when the girls from the Yuki Fan Club stopped me in the hall. "And whhhhhy is Tohru and Yuki hanging out together?" one of them said. "Yeah! I mean they even walked together to school yesterday. I mean, why her?" another one said. I rolled my eyes and walked around them.
"Hey! Wait!" they cried following me down the hall. I didn't stop walking. "Well..maybe the reason Yuki is hanging out with Tohru is because she's normal and not obsessive over him like you girls?" I looked at their shocked expressions and smiled, then turned and continued walking down the hall. "Aren't you afraid of loooosing him Kara?" I stopped my heart in my throat. "I-I don't know what you're talking about..." I stuttered, before regaining my composer. But it was too late.
"We were so right!" they shrieked in unison. I took a deep breath. How did they know? Is it that noticeable? I sighed and turned a corner, walking down that hallway. I stopped a few seconds later, and looked out the window seeing Shigure, dressed in a tuxedo coat and a tie, talking to Yuki. I looked at Yuki, watched his facial expressions all the while he was talking to Shigure. I saw his jaw clench, his eyes narrowing, but he still remained calm.
"I really don't see how you can like that stupid rat." I looked up at the person standing next to me, and then turned my back, leaning against the window. "Yeah well I don't see why you hate him so damn much." I said. "What are you even doing here?" I asked him. "Shigure says that now I'm back at home I'll have to go to school." Kyo sighed. "That means I gotta put up with that damn rat and others here." I shrugged. "You'll be fine! You'll have and Tohru and even Yuki." I said and giggled as he gave me a dirty look.
I pushed myself off the wall and walked off down the hall, Kyo followed. "Hey..do you know if Shigure went to the main house?" I asked quietly. "Uh..yeah, when I had my entrance exam I had to do." He rolled his eyes. "Such a damn waste of time." I smiled slightly at that.
I started picking at a piece of fluff on my skirt. "I don't want Akito to wipe Tohru's memories.." I said quietly. Kyo put his hand on my shoulder. "Is that why you were..down this morning?" he asked. I nodded slowly. "But," I said slowly, looking up at him, I gave him a little punch on his arm. "I'm ready to go home now and since you and Shigure are here, you can take me home." I smiled and started walking back down the hall. "You call that a damn punch?" I heard him yell as he started running after me.
