The Unvoiced Plea
Chapter Thirty Five: Silent Blame
"Oi, orange top, where is she?!"
Kyo knocked out of his phase but still had his hand at his cheek when Tohru had just kissed him moments ago. His eyes scanned around for her only to see her nowhere in sight…
Wait…she was….just here a few moment ago… Panic ran through his system as he looked around again. His eyes only landed on the Yankee and physic in front of him, both of which didn't look very happy. "Hey, answer-!"
"Be right back!" Kyo pushed past both girls running back towards the hall.
The two girls looked at each other, and then back at the running Kyo.
"Strange…" Hana said quietly.
"Hm?" Uo looked at Hana with a frown.
"I sense he is…both stunned and panicked…and that he may not know where she is…"
(Drown by Three Days Grace)
"Yay, this so awesssssssssoooooome!!" Momiji exclaimed over the music. He was back stage watching his cousins singing. The rabbit peeked around the corner to find the others. He saw Yuki laughing with Machi about something, but he couldn't see Tohru or Kyo. Funny, I thought they were-
Suddenly he was yanked backward and turned around, a strong pressure on his shoulders. "Wha-?!"
"Momiji, have you seen Tohru?" Kyo asked trying to keep the panic low in his voice.
Momiji felt confusion enter through his system "What, I thought she was with you…isn't she?"
Kyo let go of the boy's shoulders and smacked his hand to the wall. "Damn it, where the hell did she go?!"
Momiji tried to think as well, but found that nothing added up. This isn't something Tohru would do…She wouldn't leave anyone unless something really important came up…
The ringing of Momiji's phone interrupted his thinking.
The cat jumped hearing the ringing but still had his hand on the wall and turned away from the rabbit.
"Hello?" Momiji answered.
"Momiji, it's Kagura…"
"Oh, hey K-!"
"This is really urgent and I don't have much time before someone finds out…" She sounded desperate and scared. Momiji found himself scared too, like he already knew what she was going to say. "K-Kagura, what is it?"
Kyo turned around at the mention of Kagura's name and the scared tone of Momiji's voice.
Momiji was speechless.
He was hearing every word Kagura was saying.
He nearly dropped the phone.
His eyes widened in fear.
It couldn't be…
Seeing this Kyo snatched the phone away from the rabbit. "Okay Kagura, what the hell is-?!"
"Kyo?! W-What are you...? Please you have to understand, I don't know what is-"
"What the hell am I suppose to not understand?!"
He heard her breath loudly before answering him.
(Nara by E.S. Posthumous)
"Not long ago I just saw…I saw…." It took her a moment to find her words again. "I saw Tohru running towards Akito's. She was being dragged by some strange man, I didn't recognize him, when they got to the front entrance of his house. I didn't know what to do! But I think all this time it's been under our noses, it's been Akito who's doing this!! You need to understand Kyo, this wasn't your fault, it was no ones, how could have we-"
He didn't realise he dropped the phone…
"Kyo, wait!!" he heard Momiji call after him.
His legs ran at full speed.
He slammed the doors of the hotel aside and the bitter wind of the night greeted him.
Thunder boomed in the distance.
Clouds gathered above his head.
The sounds of the dance got fainter and fainter.
He didn't look back.
His limbs felt heavy.
His lungs weren't able to keep up with his breathing.
The expression of horror, shock and rage didn't leave his face.
His mind was exploding with ideas and piecing together everything that had happened over the course of weeks.
Akito was the one behind all of this!
But who was that strange person that was with Tohru...?
…Mr. R. It made sense…
Horribly perfect sense.
It explained why Tohru was so afraid of him in class.
And that bruise, was he the one who gave her that bruise on her back?
The cat's fists clenched in anger at the thought.
He wasn't there to protect her.
He wasn't there to protect when the person who did all this to her was right in front of him. Despite Kagura knowing that he would blame himself and trying to tell him it wasn't his fault, he did.
And now the girl he loved was running right into hell itself.
But why would she go to Akito? If she was so scared of him why was she at the Sohma estate right now running towards his house?
Was she being threatened?
Was she being bribed?
Was she…willing?
What a stupid question, she was being dragged towards the zodiac god's house. Of course…wasn't she?
He only had his thoughts on one place and one place only…
…Sohma House…
Then one question entered his mind that didn't seem to disappear.
A question that chilled him to the bone.
A question which the skies seemed to hear and started to rain the icy feeling that ran through Kyo's system.
Did Akito hurt Tohru because of him? Because of his mistakes and failures, was that why she was hurt and abused?
Please be safe. I wasn't able to protect you before…
I'm so sorry, Tohru…!
Sorry for how short this chapter was, the next one is going to be longer and a lot more eventful, promise! ;)
This chapter any good? Not so good? Reviews are greatly appreciated!
Thanks for reading!!
Keep writing!!
