...OOO...
It was afew days since then, and Cora finally decided to end the engagment. Akito was furious when he found her not in her room, the ring on the pillow, her stuff all gone, and a note with a red rose. Akito was angry, yet, he felt tears go down his eyes, as he read the note, afew words were written, just enough for the message to sink in his mind, and Cora made it simple...
To Akito,
I am sorry, that it has to be this way. I love you
but i love someone more, i hope this wont change
change anything, but i know it will. So i will just
say it, as i feel, I'm leaving, dont come after me.
Good-bye
Akito cried that day for hours, just like when she left. He felt like his heart was breaking into pieces; he broke everything, tore up anything, and just destroyed his section of the manor. His only means of escaping his loneliness, was no longer there, he wanted to die, but he couldnt, he wanted to still see her, her image in his mind forever, her touch, everything, he remembered, and he sure as hell wasnt going to forget. Akito stood in his room the whole day after that, crying sometimes, and pretending Cora was with him, you may think he was crazy, but he was perfectly sane. As for Cora, she moved in with Shigure, staying with Kyo, but soon Shigure would find out the bitter-sweet truth about their lovely Co-chan.
...OOO...
"Im the only one for her! She's see's how i feel about Tohru! And know what, Cora hates Tohru as much as i do!""Because, Tohru is in the way." Shigure thought about, what happened at the main house afew days ago kept him thinking. Until finally walking out of his study and go looking for Cora, but all he found was the 3 others in his house. "Have any of you seen Cora?" Shigure asked, "She said she was going to the store real fast, she went to get her jacket, so she hasnt left yet." Yuki answered, "Alright, thanks Yuki." and Shigure left, "Isnt that abit strange." Kyo said, "M-maybe he wanted to ask C-cora if he could go." Tohru said, "Your probably right ms. honda." Yuki said, Kyo dozed off and thought about his life, with his new (secret) girlfriend. Shigure waited for Cora by the door, he didnt wait long, because he saw Cora in jeans, black converse with white hearts on them, and a white shirt with a spade on it. "Mind if i join you, Co-chan?" Shigure asked, "No, but i really wanted to go alone." Cora said, "Lets go." Shigure said, Cora nodded, they walked out of the house, and went to the store. Shigure was trying to figure out how to approach the situation, "Just ask, why do you hate Tohru" but he just shook his head, nothing seemed to fit about bringing up the subject, so he took the easy was, "Akito mentioned something the other day." he said, "And what was that?" Cora replied. "Why do you hate Tohru?" Shigure asked, Cora stopped dead in her tracks, with eyes wide, and stared at him. "Why Cora!" he yelled, no body was out, so it kind of echoed, "Because she's changing things! Kyo has even changed, i loved Kyo since we were small, before i met Akito, Kyo never judged me, even with my disability, he helped me." Cora said as she looked at the concrete.
Cora still had some trouble reading and writing, but since Kyo taught her, she was fine, he made things easy. "Why else do you hate her?" Shigure asked, "Because big brother Shigure gave my room to her, and she acts like she's part of the family. She has no right there. Kyo told me what happened. You promised that room to me, and you were never one to let in outsiders. I hate Tohru so much. She makes it seem like everything is fine, but they really arent. Why can she make everyone smile! why didnt anyone smile when i tried something? She does something simple and she gets smiles, when i did that, i just got ignored! But i was always there you everyone." Cora has tears running down her face, Shigure stood shocked, "Why didnt you say anything, Co-chan?" Shigure hugged her lightly, not enough to transform. "Would you have listened?" Cora answered and sniffled, "Yes, me Hatori and Aya." Shigure answered, "I just want to be with Kyo. I love him Shigure, i dont care if he's my cousin, i love him, like the earth loves the rain. I want to stay by his side Shigure." Cora told her favorite uncle, "Some will say something, you do know that, right." Shigure said, "Yes, and i know Akito would disapprove, but i dont care, i deserve a life like that, and you know what, me and Kyo made plans to move into Shissho's dojo." Cora said, "Your growing up so fast." Shigure said and they continued to walk to the store, Cora was going to make afew of Kyo's favorites. "Does he still hate leeks?" Cora asked, Shigure nodded as he pushed the cart and Cora put stuff in it. they walked through the store in silence, but then Cora felt a tgging at her shirt, she looked down and saw Kisa. "Kisa? What are you doing here?" she hugged the girl and Kisa hugged back, "Me and Hiro, are here getting milk and some vegatables." Kisa answered, and soon Hiro was there, "Hey Hiro, what are you going to make?" Cora asked, "I'm going to help Kisa make steamed vegatables." was his answer, "Oh, sounds yummy, i should make that too, since i have enough. Want me to buy your stuff, so you wont have to spend any?" Cora offered, "I dont take charity." Hiro said as he looked to the side.
Cora chuckled, "Ok, ok. But you know you can always stop by Shigures, and i'll make you and Kisa something special." Hiro nodded after that, Cora saw Kisa staring at the hot chocolate. "Here Kisa, go get yourself some hot chocolate, and some thing to get with it." Cora said as she handed the little girl some money, and smiled when Kisa hugged and smiled at her, and went to get hot chocolate, she went 'Aww' when Kisa offered a piece of her muffin and Hiro ate it. "They're close, arent they." Cora said, Shigure nodded, and then put the items on the conveter belt, and after, Cora paid for the stuff, she then said good bye to Kisa bygiving her a hug and a kiss on the head, same with Hiro, but she ruffled his hair and kissed his head. "Be good you two, hope to see you both soon." Cora said and left with Shigure, back to the house with all their groceries, and the talk earlier was brought upwhile they wlked through the forest. "Those arent reasons to hate Tohru." Shigure said, "I dont care, i hate her, she's in the way of the family. I love Kyo for everything, it shouldnt matter on looks.' Cora answered. Shigure was still confused, but he just shook his head and continued to go home. They got home, and after they put their coats and shoes away, they took the groceries in the kitchen, and Cora started making steamed rice with vegatables. Cora took her time, as Shigure told them that Cora was doing dinner today, Tohru got up quickly, but Shigure stopped her. "Why cant i?" Thru asked, "Cora likes to do things on her own, so i kind of thought you needed a break, and Cora can cook like you. Great dishes." Shigure said, Tohru nodded.
Cora was waiting for the beef, rice, and rolls to finish cooking. "It sounds good." Cora said to herself. And finally the food was done, she took all them out, and they all ate. "This is good Cora." Tohru said smiling, "Thanks." Cora smiled back, "Thats a fake smile." Shigure thought. "It was good Cora." Yuki said, "I cant believe you put leeks in it!" Kyo freaked out, "Kyo, its good for you." Cora said, "Like hell it is!" and he sat int he chuckled and continued to eat with Yuki, Shigure and Tohru. Shigure was kind of worried about Cora, now that he knew she hated Tohru, he was worried about what might happen. "Something on your mind Shigure?" Tohru asked, "Huh? No, i was just spacing out." Shigure said, "Riiiight." Kyo said as he started dozing off. The weather became chilly, and he was tired most of the time, Cora chuckled as she got up, got a cover and pillow for him, and he knocked out right there. "Sleep wll kyo." Cora told him, and she went back to eating. "I cant wait for christmas." Tohru said smiling, "We have to get past thanksgiving, and halloween first." Cora said, "Thanksgiving?" Tohru questioned, "Oh yeah, its a holiday, when the settlers first had a dinner with the indians. Its abit complicated." Cora said, Tohru nodded. "You've changed so much since we were kids Cora." Yuki said, "No i havent Yuki, just my attitude." Cora answered, they just sat there eating, until they all were half asleep under the kotatsu. "So warm." Cora mumbled, and then they all were trying to stay away. "Ok *yawn* lets all go upstairs, its the weekend, so lets just sleep." Shigure told them, they nodded, Cora dragged Kyo upstairs with Shigure's help and put him in his bed and layed next to him.
...OOO...
"Hey! Your Cora, right?" a boy with orange hair came up to Cora as she sweeped the hall way of the dojo. Cora nodded. "I'm Kyo. So your a Sohma too?" Kyo asked, Cora nodded. "Why dont you talk? Its better to talk than not to." Kyo said, Cora just shrugged, Kyo pouted then he saw Kazuma, and ran to him, "Shissho! She wont talk!" Kyo pointed to Cora, who just smiled at Kazuma, who smiled back and then looked at Kyo to answer, "She doesnt talk much, but when she does, dont talk to fast." Kazuma said, "Why, Shissho?" Kyo asked, "Well, she has a disability." Kazuma answered, "Whats a disabality?" Kyo tilted his head, Kazuma chuckled "DisabIlity, Kyo, and she has trouble learning things, she needs more time to learn than you do, so help her, when she needs it." Kazuma told Kyo, who stared at Cora, who was sweeping. "Why is she here Shissho?" Kyo asked, Kazuma answered, "Her mother is away for awhile, and she gave her to me to take of while she's away, she will be your sister and training partner." after Kyo heard that, he pouted "But i dont want a partner. I like being by myself." Kazuma chuckled and said "You dont have a choice Kyo. You'll be punished if you dont do what i say, and also, she is also a Sohma, so she is your cousin, treat her kindly." Kyo pouted, and crosed his arms, as Kazuma walked pasted him, and picked up Cora, wh started giggling. Kyo just stared at her, he never seen her smile before, and he thought it was nice, he walked away to start his dinner, all the while, thinking of his new sister/friend/cousin and her nice smile.
...OOO...
Kyo sat up and caught his breath, he looked around, and saw he was in his room, he stared at the clock, which read 1:45 A.M., then he looked down, and saw Cora sleeping next to him, he smiled to himself and layed back down. "Its been 10 years since then. And her smile is still nice." Kyo thought. he looked at his door, got up quietly and opened it then walked out and leaned on the small balcony. The autum air was chilly, but there were stars in the sky, Kyo watched then, he connected the stars like connect the dots, and then went back inside, when he l;ooked at the time it was 2:11, "Wow, 20 minutes, i MUST have been out of it if i didnt realize i was out there for that long." Kyo closed the door and went back to bed next to Cora. His cat instincts couldnt help it, he purred quietly and nuzzled Cora's hair, which in turn caused Cora to turn and has her back to Kyo, he heard her mumbles "Kyo...your...fat." and snored quietly, Kyo looked at her with a -_- look, but then he just chuckled and went back to sleep.
...OOO...
Int the Sohma estate, Akito was planning on getting Cora back, "You will be mine, Cora, forever." Akito said as he threw knives at a picture of Kyo and Tohru, all the while chuckling abit insanely. He would be with his Co-chan, forever, even if it means breaking her heart to get with him, he had it all planned out, he was just waiting for the right time and day to do it, "Over christmas, is when i'll do it. And finally, she'll be mine again, with no one to bother us, and our happiness." Akito then was laughing like a crazy person. But he didn't understand, that the other zodiac members would help Cora anytime, in return of her kindness. Family sticks together, when they have to, other than that, they annoy the hell out of each other.
...OOO...
Cora was sitting on the proch, with a summer Kinono on, watching the stars, and moon, trhen arms wraped around her, she jumped and then she saw who it was, "Kyo, you scared me." is what she said, Kyo chuckled and sat behind her, and they stood like that. "Kyo, your not transforming." Cora said, "The curse is broken, thanks to you." Kyo said and kissed her neck, "You'll always be mind, Co-chan" Kyo said, but it wasnt him, it was.."Akito! what did you do with Kyo?" Cora yelled, and tried to get away from him, but he held her there. "Kyo is no longer a problem for us, neither is Tohru, we will be together, forever, like we said." Akito said, Cora pushed him away, got up and ran away. Cora ran what seemed like forever, but it wasnt, she stopped, and she was in the hallway, it was lined with many dorrs, quiet, and on the other side was dark. Cora walked cautiously aforward, looking around, she jumped when the floor creaked, and kept going, she opened a door, she stumbled, back, and screamed, then everything went black.
...OOO...
