CHAPTER NINE : TO CARE OR NOT TO CARE
"Ah Hatsuharu-san," Tohru tried to bow as Haru looked away from her, he usually would have made some comment about how she shouldn't stress herself or tire herself out, the old him would have attempted to help her but why bother anymore? "Shigure-san said that you wanted to ask me something..."
"Yeah, sensei," Haru whispered and then shook his head, "Shigure," he felt so dirty saying the dog's first name after the deal but..."Listen Honda, I'm going to the mountains tomorrow morning to locate Kyo is there anything that you want me to tell him or gi--"
"Haru?" Yuki blinked as he came down the stairs, he had been trying to study but once he heard the former cow's voice he had to come down, it was just as everyone had said, Haru really had changed a lot. "What are you doing here? Do you ne--"
"I came to talk to Honda not you," he replied shortly, not bothering to look in Yuki's direction anymore. "So if there's something you'd like me to do Honda..."
"Rin's worried about you you know," Yuki sighed as he pressed his back against the wall, "We're all worried about you Haru, you..."
"You're just a piece of crap from the main house that they found a replacement for," Haru glared at him before standing, "I'm going to be..."
"You're pathetic," the rat commented as he looked up at the person who used to be his friend, he laughed weakly, "I could barely understand with that stupid cat but you're even worse, at least he had a purpose for his behavior, a reason, an excuse. You're just...pathetic."
Tohru looked around wildly at Yuki, what was he saying? She closed her eyes expecting for those words to sink in somehow and maybe bring out Black Haru. That's what Yuki wanted to do wasn't it? To bring out some form of emotion in Hatsuharu-san.
Haru shrugged, "Yeah, I know..." he bowed his head before looking back to Tohru, "Think about what you want me to say because I'm not coming back."
"Bastard," Yuki coughed, his eyes widening as Haru turned back to look at him, "Don't tell these things to Tohru-chan and expect that she will be okay with it, you've disappointed everyone and you...you don't even care do you!" Unable to control his anger, Yuki put his hand on Haru's collar and brought him into the wall, making his head bang against the wall and hearing the demented laughing.
"Ha-Hatsuharu-san?" the brunette panicked, "Yuki-kun, is...Hatsuharu-san's head is bleeding, Yuki-kun...I..." she didn't know what to do and so she cried weakly, from the kitchen there was a beep and Yuki dropped Haru as he smelled beef. Shigure was cooking beef, well this would definitely draw out black Haru right?
"Mmm, beef for me, beef for me," Shigure sang as he entered the living room with the tray and sat watching the three of them as Haru got himself seated, Tohru was smiling towards Shigure and apologizing that she should have made something else whilst Yuki concentrated on Haru hoping that black Haru would come out! He had to come out right!? Right!?
"So," he smiled looking at Haru, "You told me that you were taking a trip didn't you Haru?" he dug into the beef, "It's still a little raw, the blood is getting everywhere, Haru would you like some?"
"If I eat," the white haired teen growled, "Will you leave me alone?"
"That can be a deal," the dog winked passing over the plate as Haru looked down, he picked up a small piece of beef, popped it in his mouth and chewed with all three of them staring at him wide-eyed.
He didn't care anymore..about anything or anyone.
Meanwhile:
"Rin-chan we could get one of the servants to take the bin out or umm...well you don't have to do it," the blonde told her as she opened up the top to put the sushi in as well as the other food, no one wanted the smell of fish everywhere. Not saying a word to him she froze, dropping the old food onto the ground. "Rin?"
"Wha—What did he?" the horse whispered as she looked at all the smashed up gaming equipment and burnt fake leather accessories, she put her hand in only to feel a cut run down her finger as she pulled out some broken discs. Her eyes travelled along the words Final Fantasy VII and she bit her bottom lip trembling. Why had he? What had possessed him to destroy these things?
She took another breath in before her eyes widened at the sight of Haru's old bike broken down into parts and his uniform, it was torn to shreds. She grabbed to the right side of his broken pair of goggles and held it in her arms, remembering what he had said before.
It's not like I'm gonna destroy anything you care about, I just don't really feel like sharing a bed with you right now okay?
Taking a deep breath she shook her head, "You're destroying the thing I care about most Haru...you're destroying yourself."
Meanwhile
"I was wondering how you were doing" a voice rang out as Kyo paused in wonder, someone had come to see him? It wasn't that unusual right but it had been a while since he had had any form of human contact. Wiping himself down with a towel he looked around to see...Kagura. That stupid girl had come up here in search for him? "Kyo..." she laughed as she sat down. "Oh baby I missed you sooo sooo much! I had to ask Kuni-kun where you'd gone to..."
"Kuni-kun?" the redhead asked, his bangs getting in the way of his eyes, "So why did you bother coming up here without your boyfriend?" he asked as Kagura looked down, turning her foot in the grass.
"I was worried about you Kyo, but...I guess we're not engaged anymo--"
"We were never engaged!!" the tan boy snapped back as the brunette nodded, she paced the area before sitting down on a rock, "Don't tell me that you're getting married to your Kuni-kun, god even I feel sorry for the guy."
"You're so mean Kyo!" the boar commented as she pushed Kyo on the back, "Anyway, I'm completely different with Kunimitsu anyway," she allowed herself to smile brightly, with Kunimitsu she felt that she had some worth, some importance and that made her happy. In a lot of ways she deserved to be happy.
"Well I feel really sorry for Tomoda now, does he know what the real you is really like?" Kyo sighed as he started practicing his martial arts techniques against a log, "You interested in sparring, I'll go easy on ya?" he winked as he finally managed to clear his head, why was it so much easier to breathe without Tohru there.
"Kyo, you do realize that Akito-san is still planning on locking you up when you return right?" she spoke whilst twirling a strand of hair around her finger, "He asked Hatsuharu-san about the injury and..."
"He actually told Akito the truth? Boy that kid has snapped and after all that I've done for him but I guess I've done a lot to him, shoulda known that he wouldn't forgive me fully." He smiled as he finally managed to break the log with his bare hand, "I wonder how dad is getting on, he hasn't come up to see me but I guess it's his legs right?"
Kagura froze as a smile crossed her lips, "Oh Kyo! Shi-han managed to wiggle his foot a couple of days ago, I mean it took a lot of effort on his part but he did do it, he seemed so happy as well. You'd be--"
"He wiggled his foot!?" the kitten grinned happily, "Hell yeah! I knew dad could do it, but...he probably doesn't want to see me again, guess he won't have to since that damn Akito's planning to lock me up. I expected more from Hatsuharu anyway, it was him who stopped me from getting locked up straight away and he's right, when I'm not around Tohru I just...feel happier somehow. I mean god damnit I love her but there was so much tension back there."
"You've missed her haven't you Kyo?" the boar sighed as she sat down on a rock, "She's missed you a lot too so there's nothing wrong with it. Kyo, Haa-kun didn't turn you in, he hasn't really spoken about what happened to anyone, Momiji told me. I guess that he's the one who could save you but he's lost the ability to care..."
"Yeah, when that kid loses the ability to care is when I become part of the Zodiac," he joked, he couldn't believe that Haru had lost the ability to care about anything, "The kids," he dabbed his head with the towel, "Momiji's unborn children...how are they?"
"Mo-mi-ji's?" Kagura repeated confused, "What are you talking about Kyo-kun, you're not making any sense Kyooo!"
"Momiji, he's the one who slept with Tohru," he gritted his teeth in an attempt to control his anger, "Hey Kagura," he sighed, "When you next see Tohru tell her that I don't judge her for any of this, that I love her but she should give the kid a chance, he's the actual dad y'know. Did she tell you to say anything to me?"
The boar stared at the ground, "No...I didn't ask,"
Kyo looked away, "Some part of me wish that you had," he sighed as he tried to remember her, all of her. He could imagine her brown hair fluttering in the wind, her brown eyes sparkling like stars and that smile. He loved her! He loved her! He loved her!!
Meanwhile
Akito sat quietly in her room, she stared across at Kureno, "Where is he?" she snapped as Kureno stared back at her.
"Who?" the rooster asked as he came near to the shaking girl, tears were in her eyes but he didn't know why, more than anything he wanted to comfort her, "Who is it that you want?"
"Yuki, he's the father to that bitch's children, he should have admitted this to me!" Kureno closed his eyes before hugging Akito and rocking her from side to side, "He should have admitted already! He knows that he's mine, that he can't go around making girls pregnant."
"Maybe he isn't the father," Kureno suggested, "Akito you only told the father to come forward, perhaps the father isn't part of the Zodiac animals, maybe he's an outsider...think about that. Why would any of your Zodiac betray you like this?"
"Hatsuharu betrayed me," Akito shivered, "He betrayed me and then...then I forgave him, after that they should have known, they should have told me what happened and who spawned those demons inside of that pitiful girl!! They should know!"
"But, what if it wasn't a Zodiac member but a friend from her school or someone she knew from her work, Akito if it was a Sohma they would come before you," he tried to comfort her, hoping for the sake of his cousins that he was right.
"I still want Yuki to tell me what he knows! I want Yuki back here, to live in this house! I want Yuki!" she snapped feeling worried about this and so hugged to herself, "Bring him to me!"
"Maybe you should wait until morning," Kureno suggested as Akito shook her head.
"NOW!!"
Hey guys, I'll give you the answer to last chapter
The answer is Shigure, my opinion was lowered on him from the manga and even more lower when I first found out about him and Akito.
So I only have one more thing to say
"Will the real Batman please stand up?"
