Chapter 7
The next morning, Yuki, and I acted like always. But Kyo wouldn't stop staring at me, with longing eyes.
In the end I gave up, and told him my true feelings. In return he gave me something I didn't want: a broken smile.
Shigure told us he would be away for a few weeks on some trip due to his writing and Kyo couldn't take it any longer in this house. So he left to stay at his Master's house.
I hardly spoke the whole day, which worried Momigi.
He kept on bothering me so much.
"Tohruuuuuu! I have this new stuffed bunny that is filled with candy!" he cheered.
His importance with candy seemed useless to listen to.
While the demon kept whispering kill the whole day.
I took in a deep breath as me and Yuki walked home.
I made dinner for him, as the endless silence stretched.
"Tohru, what's wrong?" he asked.
"There's nothing wrong," I answered grimly.
"I still care. I want to know what's bothering you. You don't have to tell me though."
"Okay! There's a demon in my body that made me into the monster I am! Every time I think of killing someone, I'm happy! When will it be when I actually kill someone for real?"
Yuki took his time mulling over what I'd just said.
"How long have you known this?"
"Last night." I whispered. "I don't want this demon in me."
"It's not like I want to be in you either." The demon spoke.
"THEN GET OUT!" I screamed, startling Yuki.
"I was put in your body for a reason, idiot. What's your unaccomplished goal in life?"
Well, I want to finish school, for mom, and I also want to break the Sohma curse. I thought calmly.
"I don't do school work. I must be sent here to break that curse. No need to explain, I know all about it. It was the devil himself who did that you know? Cast the curse."
Why?
"God only does good things for people, right? But when someone does something bad, the devil does something horrible to them. A Sohma a few centuries ago did something, I can't remember, unforgivable. And a month ago, I disobeyed the Oman, and was put into this body of yours. I have to help you break this fucking curse, or else I'll never be able to come out."
How?
"It requires a lot of energy from your body. It may even kill you. You should ask them first. The family."
You're rather nice for a demon.
"Shut up. I'll kill you myself."
Whatever.
Yuki was worriedly looking at me. I smiled at him.
"Yuki, wouldn't you like the curse to break." I asked.
He seemed confused but replied, "Yeah."
"Yuki, I'll help you. I just need all the Sohma's at one place. Yuki, I can help you!" I said excitedly.
"How?" he asked.
"Energy! The demon will help me!"
He wasn't going to believe meat first, but I knew he would. After all that's happened in our lives, anything is possible to believe.
His face brightened which took my breath away.
I've never seen him this happy.
In a flash, he cupped his hands on my elbows and fiercely pulled me into a passionate kiss.
I was stunned at first.
I didn't argue. Instead I kissed him back just as fierce. I could tell we were definitely not being careful with each other.
Through the back door I saw Hayate gawking at us. I waved him away.
I'll give Yuki what he wants. I'm too happy to care if I've mistaken myself and fell in love with Yuki.
Happiness overwhelmed me.
Free.
No curse.
Happiness.
We were still kissing - both of us intoxicated, dizzy with the madness of this - unable to let go of each other.
We're going to be in a happy place.
We all are.
