Chapter 7
Kyo had gotten Tohru there with only a few minutes to spare.
"Tohru, what time do you get off school? Call me when you're out."
"I get off school around 1:30 pm. Then I head to work from 2 pm to 9pm. Umm Kyo I don't have a cell phone. So how am I supposed to call you?"
Kyo bit back a sigh. He would have to get her a cell phone too. Until this was over he needed a way to contact her. He would have to tell Shigure about this too.
"Ok well borrow someone's or use a school phone. Where do you work? I will be there to pick you up."
Tohru blushed at the thought of someone as good looking as Kyo to come to work to meet her. What would all the other girls say?
"I work at the Industrial Building Offices right now as part of the cleaning staff."
"Ok well I will be there at 9 to pick you up. Wait for me."
Tohru nodded and turned around to walk into the building.
"Tohru, wait a second."
Tohru stopped and turned around. She saw Kyo walking up to her.
"What is it Kyo?"
Kyo cupped her face and kissed her. Tohru melted into the kiss and put her arms around his neck. He deepened the kiss. When he broke the kiss Tohru looked down embarrassed but smiling.
"Remember to wait for me."
Tohru nodded and walked back into the school dazed. Kyo all the while had some important people to talk to.
At Kazuma's
Kyo knocked on his mentor's door and stepped back. If anyone knew what was going on he did. He had been in the business of spying longer than most people and he was a legend. He stared at his shoes as the door opened. Kyo always felt like he was not good enough to be around him even though he always treated kyo like a son.
"Kyo! I have been worried about you! Come in!"
Kyo stepped into the warm house and looked around.
"Please sit down. Can I get you anything?"
"No I'm fine. I need to know what's going on. I am not the only one in danger now. I am trying to keep others from getting hurt."
Kazuma sat back and studied him like he always had.
"You like her don't you?"
Kyo was taken back. How did he know it was a girl?
"How did you know? Yeah I do even though I'm no good for her."
Kazuma simply smiled at his young musuko. He wondered if this girl would finally open Kyo's heart and give him something to live for.
"Shigure told me so relax. No one knows about her yet. I hear you got stabbed. Let me see."
"It's nothing. Tohru bandaged it and its healing fine."
Kazuma again got quiet.
"All I know is that someone has figured you out. They have a hit out on you. They ravaged your place which you know. So what do you have that they want?"
"Nothing. Wait the Mic! I had a mic taped to me so I could record what I heard. I completely forgot about it."
"Where is it now Kyo?"
Kyo thought back and couldn't remember where it was. He had it on when he transformed back into a man. Then he had gotten stabbed and he couldn't remember the rest.
"I don't remember what happened to it."
Kazuma looked deep in thought and didn't speak for a few minutes. Kyo too said nothing. He could only think about how stupid he was to drag Tohru into it. To get hurt in the first place and lose the mic.
"Kyo look around for it. Maybe you can get lucky and find it. Now tell me about this Tohru."
Kyo looked at Kazuma eyebrow raised.
"Ok. She is very innocent and kind. She is a college student. She can cook and she is alone."
Kazuma smiled at Kyo's response and laughed.
"Tell me what you really think. What aren't you telling me?"
"I really like her but I am no good for her. She's looking for someone to help her through her issues. I can't even get through my own. I'm only staying until its safe. I don't like the idea of bringing the danger to her life."
Kyo looked at Kazuma who was studying him again.
"Kyo, maybe you need each other more than you think."
"I doubt it. I have to go. She's getting out of college soon. I have to go see about some things now."
Kyo got up and Kazuma followed.
"It was nice seeing you again. Just remember to live life that makes you happy and don't let your past get in the way."
Kyo could only nod and left with lots of confusing emotions he didn't know how to deal with. Or want to deal with. No matter what kazuma said he was not good for anyone. He at least could help her before he left.
Kyo pulled out his phone and dialed Shigure.
