Hey~! Nano again! Sorry for taking SO long to update this--I've been a
busy person :p
I actually had this chapter written some time ago, but I've been too busy
to update--with school and all those other hassles! Ok, well I will be
answering reviews at the bottom of this chapter, so stay tuned! Enjoy~!
Choices -- Chapter Two -- Accusations
Tohru sat straight up in her bed. She was drenched in cold sweat and her whole body was trembling.
"Where...?", Tohru asked herself, then looked at her surroundings, taking it all in. "I-I'm still in my room..."
Looking down, Tohru saw that she was wearing a pair of cute pajamas, which surprised her. "But I could have sworn...", ...those men...it must have been a nightmare...
Tohru stood and walked over to her window. It was snowing. 'What a beautiful sight...' Her train of thought trailed off as she noticed the clock blinking '6:32'.
"Oh no! It's past six already! I need to go get breakfast started quickly!", Tohru raced down the stairs, forgetting that she was lacking proper clothing, and ran straight to the kitchen.
Grabbing all the essentials for a good breakfast, Tohru made her way across the kitchen, attempting to carry it all at once when Shigure walked in.
"Shigure-san! Why isn't Shigure-san at the University? Not that I wouldn't want Shigure-san visiting, but I--"
"Ohayo, Tohru-kun! Pretty snow isn't it? What a perfect morning!", Shigure replied grinning. "And, my, doesn't Tohru-kun look lovely in those pajamas I bought her last spring."
"What?", Tohru looked and realized that Shigure was indeed right. She was wearing a pair of Chinese pajamas, with panda and bamboo print, which he had bought in spring. They were imported too!
Tohru blushed, looking back up at Shigure and nodding. She opened her mouth to say something, but Shigure put his hand up to stop her, then motioned to her to sit down at the table.
As Tohru sat down Shigure followed suit.
"Tohru-kun...I have a serious question I must ask..." (Gure- Will you bear my child ~twinkling eyes~ Nano- ~whack~ Quit ruining the moment!)
"H-Hai, Shigure-san?"
"Do you...", Shigure paused mid sentence, looking into Tohru's eyes as if in deep thought. "Do you know who did it to you?"
The blunt question took Tohru by surprise. "I-I don't know what Shigure- san is talking about..."
'No...Shigure-san couldn't be talking about my nightmare! That's just silly. hehe...Shigure-san talking about those men and the fight I heard from upstairs...that IS silly! How would Shigure-san know a-'
"Don't make me say it, Tohru-kun!". Shigure looked at Tohru with eyes full of guilt and pain. All of his cheerfulness gone. "You know what I'm talking about, when those men came and demanded to see you--"
"No! I don't know what Shigure-san is talking about!", Tohru's eyes were spilling tears by the end of her outburst. "I'm sorry Shigure- san...please excuse me, I have some chores to tend to. Gomen...". With that Tohru stood and exited the room quickly.
Shigure heard light steps run up the stairs. 'Could it be that Tohru- kun doesn't remember any of this? But why would she have cried if she had forgotten? Was I being too blunt...? This is so confusing!'
Just as Shigure had begun his mental quarrel Yuki had walked in, looking as if he was about to freeze.
Yuki stared at Shigure then asked, "Where is the microwave around here?! I need to defrost my butt NOW!"
Beatings ensued.
"I told you not to mess this up-! Now lets try that again-!", Nano said as she went and sat in the corner, glaring at Shigure and Yuki. They heard some mumbling about ruining moments but other than that it was quiet.
--
RIGHT! Let's try this again...(I always have the sudden urge to enter comedy into the situation. I am SO not an angst writer...)
--
"It's so cold! We haven't had this much snow in quite a while, have we?", Yuki asked, his bottom lip still trembling from the winter weather.
"Hai! It is also very early for snow...", Shigure started as he looked out at the snow lightly falling from the sky. "Who would have known that the Sohma's would be so lucky as to have snow as early as December? It usually comes during January or February."
The second Shigure's cheerful statement was finished his face went serious and his mind was lost in thought yet again.
"Shigure...what is the matter? Did something happen?...Shigure! Answer me!" Yuki was beginning to be desperate for an answer.
"I...Yuki...", Shigure started pondering a way to put his thoughts verbally yet not too harsh. There was no way. "Tohru was...raped."
Shigure cringed at the word and Yuki's reaction.
Yuki's face held a worried expression, but it quickly changed to one of hate and anger as the door creaked open slowly.
--
Kyo opened the front door slowly as he finished helping carry in the rest of Yuki's belongings. He was dying to get out of the biting cold!
Right as he stepped inside the house a fist slammed into his face.
Kyo fell backwards, all of the bags falling on top of him.
"What the hell was that kusonezumi?!"
"You...You did it!", Yuki had a look of pure hatred on his face. "How dare you do such a thing to poor Honda-san?!"
In the first few seconds after Yuki's statement Kyo looked baffled, then as he caught on he returned the glare with a vengeance. "What?! Why you little...!". With that Kyo charged at Yuki with all the strength he could muster.
Yuki dodged the attack and had begun to assault Kyo with random kicks and punches.
Few of the punches hit him, but Kyo was caught off guard several times by the low kicks.
"STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY!"
The two high school students left each other's heated gazes to stare at the agitated author. (And it's not me either! Hehe! =b Surprising ain't it?)
If just looking at his face weren't proof enough, the anger in Shigure's voice would have given away the rage that lay directly beneath the surface. (Ok ok, that SO doesn't sound like Gure...but I couldn't think of anything else T_T) À ÀYou two need to stop fighting like children and focus on the task at hand! We must find the culprit!". The fire in Shigure's eyes told just how serious the situation really was.
"Hai.", Both boys sighed.
"So...are there any clues as to who would have...you know...?", Yuki questioned, attempting to fill the uncomfortable silence.
"No, not really. The only people at the house were Tohru-kun...and you,"; Shigure began, pointing to Kyo. "But you were attacked and tied up in the bathroom. Of course Hatori came later, but it was obvious that he wouldn't have done it, he was the one who found Kyo and called me about it..."
"This doesn't make any since!", Kyo muttered under his breath, dropping his head into his hands. "It just...ugh!"
The defeated tone of the usually cocky teen's voice brought the overall attitude of the room down a notch.
A silent tear slipped down Kyo's face, as he fell deeper into despair. Yuki looked over at Shigure with a start as the older man stood from his chair and exited the room.
Shigure sat at his desk, pondering the recent events.
"Why? Of all people...", his voice flowed as deep and fluid as water, "...with all of the horrible people in this world, the gods had to pick sweet, innocent Tohru-kun?!"
Shigure smashed the piece of paper he had been staring at into a tight ball and threw it into the garbage bin. He laid his head on the desk and attempted to clear his mind so nothing remained.
Not even the accusations that had been made, blaming him for all of this.
"I didn't...I would never..."
...why did it have to be you...
the end... yep that's it! hope you liked the end! bye!
