Chapter 9
Welcome To My Individuality
Yuki shut the file, his nose wrinkling in distasted."Were did you find out about my name?"asked Keitaro, taking a step back from Yuki. Yuki sighed, pulling the piano stool out from under the piano. "Those files are all I need to findout where any of you live, who you are, who your families are, etc."said Yuki, randomly pressing the piano keys.Uo looked at him, anger playing dangerously across her face."You stole that from the office didn't you!" Uo said, heatedly. Yuki nodded idly, tapping the keys with extreme care. Tohru looked at Yuki, shock and anger burning deep in her stomach."How could you, that is the school's property, not your own, and I thought you were better than that!" yelled Tohru, stomping her foot. Everyone turned to her, except Yuki, astonishment on their faces."To be honest, Ms.Honda, I don't give a da."said Yuki calmly, playing the piano. Kazuo looked over to his brother, a small glint in his icy eyes."Tu sais pas mieux!"yelled Kazuo, sending a fist in Yuki's direction. Yuki dodged his brother's attack, grabbing his fist as it came to him, throwing him over his head onto waiting pillows. Kazuo landed with a sound 'thump' onto the pillows.
Yuki dusted himself off, glancing over his shoulder at the stunned room. Kazuo lifted himself off the pillows, groaning as he cracked his back."How many times must we fight?"asked Yuki, returning to the piano. Tohru clenched her fist in rage."How could you do that to your own brother!"asked Tohru, walking up behind him and pulling his face to look at her. Yuki's grey eyes stared up into Tohru's dark brown, a tension mounting in the room. A smirk formed on Yuki's lips, as he grabbed the back of her head and smashed their lips together. Tohru pulled back, blushing wildly at the contact. Uo grabbed Tohru away, slapping Yuki on top of his head. Yuki smirked, turning back to the piano, and playing 'Telescope eyes' by Eisley. Uo, Hana, Tohru, and Keitaro ran from the house, shutting the doors firmly behind them.
Tohru panted as she walked through her front door, taking off her shoes as she entered. She leaned heavily against the wall, panting for air. She crawled into the family room, bumping her body against furniture. She lay on the soft carpet, breathing in it's familar scent into her aching lungs. 'He stole my first kiss.' thought Tohru, grabbing holding of the couch. Pulling herself to her feet, tears began to stream down her face, her sobs erupting from her stinging lungs. Tohru slowly walked to her room, trying to wipe her eyes, but the tears would not stop once they started. "He didn't have to do that!" Tohru nearly yelled, her voice cracking. She made her way to her room, dragging her feet, wiping her tears and quieting her sobs.
"Tohru-chan, I'm home!" yelled a woman, dropping her keys onto the table. She walked into the her daughter's room, to find Tohru on her bed her face buried in her pillows."Tohru what's wrong?"asked the woman sitting on the edge of her bed. Tohru threw herself on her mother, smothering herself in the folds of her mother's clothes."Oka-san, oka-san!" cried Tohru, her voice muffled by her mother's body. Kyoko stroked her daughter's head, cooing her."He stole my first kiss!" A smile formed on Kyoko's lips, as she rocked her child, comforting the teen."There, there, Tohru-chan he probably didn't mean it." cooed Kyoko, whispering into her ear.Tohru shook her head, into her mother's eyes, her tears still falling. "Does this boy like you?"asked Kyoko, petting her daughter's head comfortingly. Tohru shook her head, her tears flying everywhere."No, he doesn't like anybody, not even his family."said Tohru, as her mother wiped the tears away. Kyoko shook her head, her smile widening.
"Not true, every boy loves his family, and will do anything to protect it, but he can become cold and distant so people will not understand how he feels." explained Kyoko, running her fingers through her daughter;s dark hair. Tohru nodded, resting her head against her mother's chest."But he's in my counciling, I don't think I can face him."said Tohru, sighing. Kyoko laughed, pulling Tohru up to her by her cheeks."You sound like a girl who's had sex and can't face the boy." said Kyoko, kissing her forehead.Tohru blushed a her mother's blunt words."But a kiss is almost as bad, isn't it?"asked Tohru, looking up at her mother with puppy-dog eyes. Kyoko laughed, shaking her head."No it's more innocent and morally right."said Kyoko, lifting Tohru off her lap. "Now time to make me dinner!" Kyoko laughed, walking out of the room. Tohru followed her mother, smiling.
