Origami Koshi
Chapter 7: He Is Right...
Kyou's Point Of View
A/N: This chapter is a bit bland but it adds more to the story. It's not my FAVORITE or my BEST chapter, but bare with me, I just soothed all of you psycho fangirls who'd kill me if they didn't live so far away from me.
I walked down the stairs from my room, leaving Tohru to fall asleep. In case she woke up, I decided to make another round of tea. I flicked the kitchen light switch on and started making tea, following Tohru's instructions that she posted on the fridge in case we needed some tea when she wasn't around. It wasn't that hard.
I couldn't believe it. Where was Yuki? If that damn rat had been there when Tohru was getting pounded, not even pounded, murdered by those girls...I don't even think he would have known what to do. Where was he anyway? It's his fault she got hurt in the first place. He would always hold her hand in public, just to make those girls mad! He should have known that it would cause problems for Tohru, I mean, they already hate her enough as it is! I heard the door open and close. Could have been Shigure or Yuki. Or maybe Momiji or Haru. But they wouldn't have just invited themselves in. I looked at the clock. Wow, only 9:30? Well, it had seemed like a long day. Wrapping Tohru's wounds and cleaning her cuts. I turned around as I heard somebody walk into the kitchen.
" What are you doing making tea so late, cat?" Yuki said, his girly voice lingering in the tense kitchen.
" It's not late. Besides, I'm making tea for Tohru." I said, showing no emotion in my voice. Only a mild hint of anger and hate.
" Does she have a fever?" Yuki asked, his concern was obvious but he wasn't as worried as he should be. Him and I didn't make eye contact. You wouldn't know we were talking to each other if there were more people in the room.
" What would you do if she did? Run to her side? Help her? Fill her up with sweet nothings? Say I hope you get better and leave? Or would you stay by her side all night? Dedicated to her and wouldn't leave her even if the world was coming to an end? What WOULD you do rat?" I said, looking at him finally. A certain and familiar glare lingered in my garnet eyes.
" You-You love her, don't you, cat? You've changed." Yuki asked.
" Don't act like you didn't know! You knew I loved her! You just wanted to make me suffer by asking her before me! But all you're doing is making Tohru suffer! You hold her hand in front of your stupid fan club girls, wanting them to take the bait! Tohru is hurt because of you!"
" I asked her because I knew you were to scared to make the first move! And what do you mean by hurt?" Yuki said, his eyes full of shock.
" Yeah, hurt! I was walking to the library to check on Tohru when I heard the fangirls yelling something out by the track about you and her. I went out there and Tohru was barely concious, bleeding, bruised and cut by those damn girls!"
" Why didn't anybody tell me!?"
" Because you weren't around! You never are! Have you ever even seen Tohru smile while you have been together? Have you, honestly? And honest and true Tohru-smile?" I yelled, my temper being flared at the mere sound of his voice like gasoline to a fire. I was furious.
" You really DO love her, don't you?" Yuki said, an eerie look on his face. I paused, looking over at the wall.
" Yes." I said. There were a few awkward moments of silence.
" I want you to stay away from Tohru. I don't want you talking to her anymore." Yuki broke the silence. " I am her boyfriend, she has no need hanging around you."
" Why don't you stop making choices for her and let her decide who she wants to hang out with! You would stop her from hanging out with Uotani and Hanajima, would you? What about Momiji and Haru? Kagura and Kisa? Would you ask them to stop talking to her too? Why don't you stop thinking about yourself and think about her feelings for once."
" Because I don't want you taking her away from me." He hissed.
" I can't believe you haven't even asked if she was alright. I told you what the blasted girls did and you didn't even ask how she was. Or what's her condition or run up to check on her. You're a heartless bastard." I snapped back, holding back none of my words.
" You don't know anything! You don't know how Tohru feels."
" And neither do you, even less then me." I said, my voice lowering.
" But I don't want you talking to her again. And because I'm dating her, you wouldn't want her to go through the pain of having to choose one of us, you wouldn't want her to experience her first heartbreak...would you Kyou? I'll give you tonight to say your goodbyes." Yuki grinned devilishly. He had this planned from the start. I knew he was right though.
" Fine. In the morning, she'll be yours again." I said, giving up on making tea and heading upstairs. I closed the door to my room and looked down at Tohru. She rubbed her eyes and looked up at me.
" I heard some noises downstairs, was something going on?" She smiled.
" No, Yuki came home."
" Oh, where was he?"
" He didn't tell me." I said, patting her hand.
" Hmmm, thank you again Kyou. For helping me. On the walk to school tomorrow, you want to stop and get some ice cream maybe? I'll pay!" She asked, the same smile on her face. I was glad it was so dark, as I started to cry.
" I-I don't think I can Tohru." I said, trying to keep my voice steady.
" Maybe the next day then." Tohru said, still smiling at me.
" Who knows? Maybe..." I lied, smiling at her.
" I finished some paper stars for you Kyou." She smiled, shaking the glass jar a little bit.
" Thanks." I said.
A/N: Everybody get your machine guns, we're gonna kill Yuki. Though why am I so upset, I wrote him this way.
And if your wondering about the out of character, as a reminder, the characters in Fruits Basket go through changes in personality, emotional and other things as well and now that Kyou, Yuki and Tohru are older, they have grown up a bit and changed with Tohru being there which is why you see such dramatic changes in their characters in Origami Koshi and in the original series...now...
Is anybody going to Anime Expo 2004 in Anaheim, CA? If you are tell me what days you're going and if your cosplaying and I'll give you my name, days and character so I can try and find you and meet some of my lovely reviewers!
