And btw, I know Kyo, Tohru, and all of the other characters are "Out of Character" and I know I didn't put that, but oh well. Sorry to all of you. Anyway, chapter 10! :D Gonna try and make this my longest chapter ever!
Kyo's P.O.V
I hopped out of bed and stretched, yawned, and went downstairs to get some breakfast. I opened a cuboard and grabbed a box of Minnie Wheats. I opened the fridge and grabbed for the milk.
There was none left.
Great, this day was already turning out to be crummy. I just sighed, and grabbed my bowl of milk-less, bland cereal, and took a seat on the couch. I reached for my spoon that was in my bowl, but forgot I didn't grab one. I grunted, stould up, and put my cereal down to go get a spoon. I opened the silverwear droor and looked around for a spoon.
No spoons.
I looked into the sink and saw all the spoons were dirty. I cursed under my breath, and just grabbed a HUGE cooking spoon instead. I slumped down in my seat, and ate my stupid cereal. I crunched and munched on it, while watching Mogetta.
Seriously, I did not get what the point of this show was. I finished my cereal and went upstairs to get dressed. I threw on my black shirt and camo' pants, and pulled on my socks. I went into the bathroom and brunshed my orange ruffly hair, and then my teeth. As I brushed my sharp teeth, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I turned the faucet on and spit into the sink, and washed my toothbrush off. I put my toothbrush away and walked out of the bathroom.
I slung my backpack over my shoulder. Today was the day of the play, but I really wasn't that 'excited' about it. I went to the door and opened it, then jumped out on the the grass.
"WAIT KYO-KUN!" Tohru said leaping down from the deck after me
She landed head first into the ground right next to my feet. I smacked my face. I put my hand down next to her. She looked up smiling with dirt all over her face. Then she looked down at my hand. She took it and I pulled her up.
"And another thing." I said to Tohru "You can just call me Kyo...if you want that is."
She looked up at me and smiled.
"All right!" She said still smiling "Kyo."
I smiled back. She didn't have to, but, it's like everyone else calls me by my name but her. Except Yuki, who just calls me stupid cat. Then something smacked me in the back of the head, kicked me, and smacked me down to the ground. I groaned as I heard Tohru gasp and start to freak out again.
"Why cruel world?" I moaned some more as I lay my head in the dirt
"That's for having your guard down." I heard Yuki say to me "Honda-San, do you mind if I join you?"
"No, not at all!" She said in a chipper voice
I slowly go up off of the ground, and grabbed my backpack from the mud. I tried to get all of the mud off of my backpack while Tohru and Yuki kept talking and laughing. I stuck my tounge out at Yuki behind his back. I groaned and put my muddy backpack on.
I looked down at my hand. As it slowly turned into a fist, I had the sudden urge to punch Yuki in the back of the head. I threw my arm in the air, and swung. Yuki zipped around and grabbed my fist, and flipped me down on my back. I cursed and got up.
When we got to school, I went into the boys bathroom and tried to wype up all the mud off me. I took a bunch of paper towels' and wet them down. I bent down and tried to wype my knees off. I got water all over my favorite shirt and pants. Not to mention I HATE water. It's a cat thing.
I just hope I wasn't late for class. Right when I ran out the bathroom door, the bell rang and everyone started running to get to there classes. I made my way to my locker, got my books, and went to English. When I got in the room, I quickly sat in my seat and arranged my books on my desk. I folded my hands in my desk and looked straight at the board, ready to begin class.
Then I felt something hit me in the back of the head.
"OW!" I blurted out grabbing the back of my head
I felt something slimy and sticky. I looked at my hand and saw a piece of paper covered in spit. I almost threw up right then and there. I unfolded the paper and read it.
*Kitty Lover*
I rolled my eyes and threw the spitball into the trashcan. I just couldn't wait until I got the heck out of this place. When the teacher came in, he sat down in his desk.
"Now class, today we will be studying for the upcoming test tommorrow." He said, not taking his eyes off his stack of paper he was fiddling with "This is going to cover everything you have learned this semester, and is ten percent of your grade."
Everyone groaned.
I took out my text book and opened it up. I flipped to the page we were on and looked it over. When the bell rang, everyone grabbed there things and hurried off to there next class. After a couple more classes, I head off for lunch. I found Tohru and Yuki and sat down next to them.
"So.." Tohru said "How was your guys' classes so far?"
I took a bight out of my fishstick.
"Pretty good." Yuki said smiling "And how about you Miss Honda?"
She nodded.
"Same here." She said smiling back
I groaned and put my head on the table, still muching on my fishstick.
"I can't wait til tonight!" Tohru said happily "Momiji, Hatori, Kagura, and all the others are going to be at the play!"
I silently smiled.
"How about you Kyo?" Tohru asked "How are your classes going?"
I put my head up, taking another bight out of my lunch.
"OK." I said with my mouth full "I guess.."
She smiled at me.
"That's good!" She said
We continued to eat lunch until the bell rang. Everyone got up, put there trays away, and went to there lockers'. I opened mine up and got out my textbooks. I rummaged around in my locker until I found my notebook with the sticker of a little black cat on it.
After all the classes' and homework...
I sighed as I made my way out the doors of the school. I slung my 'heavy as a boulder' backpack onto my shoulder and hopped onto the sidewalk. As I made my way home, I saw a little sign.
"Free Books."
I shrugged and made my way up to the little stand that had the books on it. I picked the first book up, and read the title aloud.
"Potty training for dogs."
I smirked and stuffed it into my bag. I am so going to give that to Shigure when his birthday comes. I picked the next book up and read that title aloud.
"50 delicious recipes for leak!"
I stuck my tounge out at it and put it on the ground, and picked the next book up. Before I knew it, I had gone through the whole pile. I looked at my watch.
4:00
"Wow." I said to myself "Has it been an hour already?"
I grabbed the books I had picked out from the pile, put them into my bag, and made my way home. When I walked in the door, I took my bag and coat off and jumped onto the couch and grabbed the TV remote. I turned the TV on and looked under what movies' were on tonight.
"Let's see." I murmured to myself "13 going on 30, Vampire's Assistant, Scream 2, Ponyo, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, blah, blah, blah, blah, bl-OOHH!."
I punched the numbers 49 in and threw the remote aside.
"You remind me of the babe." Jareth's voice boomed through the speakers
"What babe?" A goblin asked
"Babe with the power." Jareth said again
"What power?" Another goblin asked
"Power of voodoo!"
"Who do?"
"You do!"
"Do what?"
"Remind me of the babe!"
Then suddenly, for some unknown reason, I started singing with the song.
"I saw my baby, cryin hard as babe could cry, what could I do?" I sang "My baby's love had gone, and left my baby BLUE, NOBODY KNEW!"
I then got up and started dancing.
"WHAT KIND OF MAGIC SPELL TO USE!" I sang while dancing around the living room
"Slime and snails?" A goblin said, pretending it was talking to me
"OR PUPPY DOG TAILS?" I sang spinning around
"Thunder or lightning?" A goblin said again
"AND BABY SAID!" I said as I stopped spinning and put my hand out infront of me, pointing into thin air
But it wasn't thin air. It was Yuki, Shigure, and Tohru. They were standing there, watching me the whole time, as I was singing and spinning around like an idiot. I guess I forgot they were home, and well...
Still in my pose, I blushed and put my hands to my sides. I threw my head down so my hair covered up my goofy expresion. While the music silently played, I could see the three still standing there, frozen like sculptures in a wax museum, with there mouths hanging wide open.
I folded my arms and waited for them to laugh in my face.
I looked up and saw them now smiling. Well...Tohru was smiling. Yuki and Shigure had there cheeks puffed up and then they were holding there gutts.
Then they burst.
"AHAHAHAHA!" They both laughed as they fell to the ground
"YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT!" Yuki squeeled as he rolled around on the floor, barely catching his breath
"SHUT IT WILL YA." I yelled as I ran to my room "I'M GONNA GET READY FOR THE PLAY, SO ALL OF YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Even thought the play wasn't for another...two hours or so. I ran into my room and slammed the door so loudly, it shook my lamp and made it fall to the ground. I locked my door and hopped into my bed angrelly. I put my head into my pillow and screamed at the top of my lungs.
"STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!" I screamed "I HATE EVERYONE!"
Then before I knew it, everything was silent.
I opened my eyes and everything around me was gone. I sat up in my bed, only to find that my bed was a giant Fruit Loop. I was puzzled for a moment, but then I looked down. I was floating in a giant lake of milk. I looked at the end of my bed, and saw an oar. I picked it up, and paddled over to the door. It magicly opened, and I floated out into more milk. I shrugged and paddled some more, until I reached the stairs. The Fruit Loop I was on went down the stairs, and into the living room. The milk river stopped at the couch. I stepped out of the colorful cereal, and onto the...grass?
I stepped onto the ground, which turned out to be grass with yellow flowers spread across the living room. Then out of nowhere, I heard music.
"I know you're somewhere out there, somewhere far away, I want you back, I want you back.." A man sang softly
I slowly walked among the grass and folowed the music, into the kitchen.
"My neighbors think I'm crazy, But they don't understand, you're all I have, you're all I have.." The man silently sang
When I stepped into the kitchen, it was bigger, much, much bigger. There was grass and flowers far as the eye could see. The only thing in the kitchen besides the flowers and grass, was the fridge. The kitchen now suddenly was an open field, quiet, soothing music, filling the air. I put my hand infront of my face to shield the sun out of my eyes. I now saw a man, sitting under a tree with a guitar, singing the slow song.
"At night with the stars that light up my room, I sit by myself, talking to the moooo-oooon, tryin' to get to yooooo-oooou, in hopes you're on the other side, talking to me to!"
I started walking tword the man with the guitar, hoping he could tell me how I got here. When I got to the man, he was strumming his guitar, not looking up to see who was there. When he was done strumming his guitar, he finally looked up and smiled at me.
"Hello Kyo." The man said "I've been expecting you."
I looked at him questionfully.
"But I don't know you." I said to the man
"Oh, but I know you." The man said smiling
I tilted my head.
"Do you have a name?" I asked
"Can't remember." He said looking at his guitar "All I do remember is you, and this here guitar."
"Oh." I said plopping down beside him
We sat in silence for a minute or two.
"You're really good at singing." I said looking down
The man looked at me and smiled.
"You are too Kyo." The man said
I looked at him, and looked down again.
"No, i'm not." I said "I'm not good at anything."
The man handed me his guitar.
"Let's see." The man said smiling
I hesitated for a moment, but then I took the guitar out of his hands.
"Play something." The man said
I started playing the guitar and singing.
"Today I don't feel like doin anything." I sang quietly "I just wanna' lay in my bed."
The man nodded and smiled.
"Don't feel like pickin' up my phone, so leave a message at the tone, cuz' today I don't feel like doin' anything." I sang a little louder
"Good, good!" The man said as I gave the guitar back to him "See, you are good at something."
I put my head down.
"Yea, that's it." I said
He frowned.
"Boy, you gotta' stop putting yourself down all the time!" The man said putting a hand on my shoulder "You gotta lift yourself up! Show the world who's boss!"
I lifted my head up.
"Just cuz' you're cursed, doesn't meen you ain't human!" He said smiling at me "Everyone is different! You just gotta' look inside yourself!"
I looked at him.
"Everyone is different!" He said "Nobody is perfect!"
I looked down again.
"Not everyone is gonna' like you in life kid. Understand?" He said
I shot my head up.
"I ALREADY KNOW THAT!" I hissed "YOU DON'T THINK I HAVN'T? NOBODY LIKE'S ME BECAUSE I'M DIFFERENT! I'M A FREAK AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT!"
He smiled at me.
"You have plently of friends." He said
"YEA?" I said "LIKE WHO?"
He snapped his fingers, and figures appeard in the air.
"Like them." He said pointing tword the figures
I saw Shigure, Yuki, Kagura, Haru, Momiji, Kisa, and all the other zodiac members.
"And her." The man said snapping his fingers once again
Tohru appeard infront of me.
"Especially her." The man said smiling and looking at the girl "She know how you feel the most."
I looked away and winced.
"She knows how you feel Kyo. You could say she's like you." He said looking over at me "And the sooner you relize, that, the better."
I looked up.
"I understand that." I said folding my arms "But I-"
"I know you love her Kyo." He said looking at the figures in the sky
I slowly looked over at him.
"DO NOT!" I said blushing
He nodded.
"You have to tell her Kyo." He said
"I DON'T LOVE HER!" I hissed, still blushing
"You wanna' know what's gonna' happen if you don't tell her Kyo?" He asked
I looked at him, my face softening. He snapped his fingers, and the Tohru figure in the sky, disappeard. My eyes widened.
"And you know what's gonna' happen if you don't open up to the world?" He asked
I shook my head.
He snapped his fingers again, but this time, one by one, the members of the zodicac started disappearing. I got up from the ground. He stould up right next to me.
"You have to open up what's inside of you , and share it with the world, Kyo.
"My arteries?" I asked weirdly
"No, Kyo." He said "Not your arteries."
"Oh." I said
"You have to open up and share your feelings with others." He said "Or else, nobody is going to understand."
I nodded.
"I understand." I said
"Good." He said "You can wake up now."
I shot up in bed. The light was shining on me, and birds were chirping. I wrung my hand through my hair and gave a relieving sigh.
"It was just a dream." I said to myself
I looked over at my clock. An hour had already passed. That means I only have one hour until the play started.
"Better get ready." I said getting up out of bed.
I went over to my window and looked outside.
"I know what I have to do." I said "Thanks to the man with no name."
