Kini Naru Aitsu – I Cannot Ignore Her
Chapter 2
Silent Jealousy
The three of them, stood in front of Akito, not daring to mention a thing. Hatred built up in Yuki's eyes, hatred that was burning viciously. Akito didn't do a thing to indicate that he cared or saw all of the hatred in Yuki's eyes. Instead, he kept his odd smile and continued to look at them, hardly blinking.
Shigure suddenly appeared from somewhere around the house. He felt the tension and the tenseness of the room. His eyes darted from Akito to the three teenagers.
"As you can probably tell," Shigure started to say. "I told Akito already, and…he insisted on coming here today."
"Why?" Yuki asked, suddenly, his voice shaking with enmity.
"My, my, Yuki…chan," Akito said softly, his eyes teasing. "Why with the icy voice? I just came to ask specifically what happened yesterday."
Yuki looked away; he couldn't look at that detestable face any longer, for there was no telling what he would do if he was suppose to look at him for a few minutes or longer.
Surprisingly, Akito focused his eyes on Tohru. Something in his face showed that he was enjoying something, enjoying tormenting Yuki. And now, when his gaze had riveted on Tohru, Tohru felt a shiver up her spine.
"Honda Tohru, no hard feelings?" Akito asked.
"Oh…no…none at all," Tohru answered quickly.
"Shigure told me how you and Kyou went to the city, and met a girl, who had got long black hair, and had hugged Kyou, but yet…somehow Kyou didn't transform, is this story correct?"
Tohru nodded.
"Is there anything else, there is to it?"
"No, that's all, Shigure had told you everything."
"I see…"
Yuki suddenly spoke up.
"Well? Why don't you leave now? You said this was all you came for!"
An ugly, spiteful look appeared on Akito's face, but soon it was replaced with a face of mockery and mystery.
"You're right, it's time for me to leave," Akito said as he slowly got up. "Find Hatori for me Shigure, and oh yeah, a little advice Yuki, don't play around with two hearts."
Yuki's head shot up and stared right into Akito's eyes. Both of their images reflected in either's eyes. For a minute, it was like a staring competition, as if they were like fighting for something that was so precious and valuable. Yuki, unfortunately broke off the eye contest first. A triumphant grin played on Akito's lips.
Yuki, who couldn't look at Akito's face any longer, went away from the room and up the stairs to his bedroom. Kyou, Tohru and Akito, could just make out the sound of a closed door upstairs.
It wasn't long after this that Shigure returned with Hatori. Hatori looked at Tohru but then, walked outside straight away.
Third time, Tohru said in her mind. The third time that somebody left without saying anything to me.
Akito was making his way outside too, when he suddenly stopped and looked sideways to Tohru. This time, his look on her wasn't teasing or anything like that. Instead, it was unknown. It was like, a mixture of anger, annoyance, happiness and sadness.
Tohru's eyes blinked confusedly.
"Ano…"
Screech. Thud.
Door closed. Akito was already out of the house. Both Kyou and Tohru sighed happily at the same time.
"I wonder what that was all about," Kyou mumbled, but loud enough for Tohru to hear.
"I'm going to check on Yuki-kun," Tohru said as her reply, and made her way up the stairs.
Her feet, thudded quietly on the wooden floor of the house. Each step she took, felt like millions of steps, and she didn't know why. Maybe it was just because of the uneasiness she felt from Akito's arrival, or maybe it was just simply pure jealousy and now she felt like she couldn't look at Yuki at the same way she did before.
Soon enough, she was in front of Yuki's room. She lifted up her hands slowly, and knocked on his door.
"Who is it?" Yuki said from the other side of the door.
"It's me, Tohru."
Yuki didn't answer her back after that. It was just silence. Tohru decided to go in anyway. She slid the door open and poked her head in. She hadn't really been in Yuki's room before and she was surprised that it was actually pretty messy. Sure, guys tend to have their rooms messy but this was Sohma Yuki; the high-school prince! Surely, he was different to other guys.
Yuki was seated on his bed, looking out the window. Tohru thought that he was lucky to have a view of the mountains outside his bedroom. It must be nice to look out of it, each morning and felt the soft breeze from the mountain side. Certainly it would make school feel bearable.
Yuki didn't turn to welcome her into his bedroom; he just sat on the top of his bed and continued to look out of the window. It was then that Tohru noticed the small frame on the windowsill. Yuki was gripping the frame really tightly.
Tohru walked over and sat beside Yuki. By sitting there she could see the picture that Yuki was holding. It was picture of a younger looking Yuki and … Taka Hikari. Just like Momiji had said, her hair was short then. Her hair just reached up to her chin but Tohru had to admit, she was beautiful. Tohru noticed that Yuki's grip on the photo tightened and he brought it closer to him. Then suddenly, a tear drop fell onto the photo. Another one followed after.
Sohma Yuki, crying?!!
"Yuki-kun, what's wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?" Tohru asked desperately, not liking to see Yuki cry.
For a while Yuki just continued to let out his tears. Bit by bit it came out.
"I…I need her." Yuki said.
Another pang of jealousy hit Tohru.
"Why cry now Yuki? You…you had survived without her for a long time, ne? You still can live without her."
Yuki shook his head from side to side. No.
"You don't understand Honda-san."
Honda-san?! Tohru asked herself. He was calling her the formal way again now.
"Then tell me, so maybe I will understand," Tohru whispered.
"I…I'm, I'm alive right now because of her, I know you because of her, I can see the world better because of her through you, I will never understand why Akito could do such a thing, he met her a lot of times, he was usually just quiet, but there wasn't any sign that he despised her. And again and again I keep asking myself…why and how? Why did it have to end this way and how was it possible that I couldn't even stop her memory from being erased?"
Yuki was facing Tohru now, her hands was in his. He looked at her with sorrow and woe in his eyes, the tears unstoppable.
Tohru, instead of consoling him, turned away from his amethyst eyes. Yuki didn't know it, but tears had also sprung in her eyes.
He loves her so much. What am I to him? Was I never anything special to him like he is to me? What do I have to do Yuki? To show you that I love you more than she loves you?
Tohru broke her hand free from Yuki's and stood up, her back facing him.
"I…I have to go."
Creak. Thud.
Tohru stood outside Yuki's room, and without her will, her tears, slithered down and fell down on the floor. Slowly, she walked to her room, dragging her feet as she walked on. Once she was in her room, she fell on her bed.

A hand in front of my face, going up and down, I wonder whose it is. Anyway, I don't care. Voices around me, sounds familiar. Uo-chan and Hana-chan? Yeah, sounds like them. Don't care though. Somebody is calling me, sounds familiar too. Yuki? No way. Oh it's Kyou. What does he want? Hmm, it's not like I care anyway. Ah, look, there's Taka Hikari. Brat. She turned, did she look at me? Can't tell, my eyes not focusing properly. Oh shucks, somebody put their hands on my shoulders, who gave them permission? Not like I care really. AHH!! Yuki!! Kawaii! Oh wait, he always looked like this. He's coming this way, act cool. … Ok, should have guessed it, he stopped next to Hikari. He smiled, I wonder why, can't hear properly either. Oh look, he's finished talking to her, now he's looking at me. Starts making his way towards me, who cares? I'm placed second now. He's mumbling a word, his mouth is moving but can't make out what he's saying. Is he mute? Or am I just deaf? I think it's just me.
Yuki looked up from Tohru's face to the others, a confused look on his face.
"What's wrong with Tohru?" he asked.
Kyou, Uo-chan and Hana-chan all shrugged their shoulders.
"ALRIGHT! Everyone be quiet, lesson is about to start!" Their sensei started to say.
Everyone went to seats and sat down, getting ready for the lesson for that day, all except for Tohru.
Should I dip her hair into my bottle of sprite?
"Honda-san," The sensei said.
Tohru looked up and saw the teacher, hands crossed, eyes fixed on her. Then to everyone's surprise, Tohru just got up, grabbed her bag and left the classroom. Yuki quickly got up and ran after Tohru.
When he was in the corridor Tohru wasn't anywhere to be seen. She must have been running, Yuki assumed. He wasted no time and went down the stairs to look for Tohru.
It must have been what I said to her, Yuki said. Maybe she felt like it was her fault or something; she had always been like this, blaming everything on herself.
***
The breeze, ah feels so nice. No more Yuki, no more Hikari for the day!
Tohru was already running out of the school, though she was thinking cheerfully, she was crying, crying silent tears.
The entire thing he said yesterday, I just can't stop thinking about it! And it's killing me! It's killing me little by little! Can't take it anymore!
Out of the front gate, and out on to the road.
No more Yuki, no more Hikari!!!
A car horned from Tohru's right hand side and she turned her head to see a truck coming her way.
"TOHRU-KUN!!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kisa:Hmm...Nii-chan, what does this button do??
Tohru:Not sure, why don't you press it?
Kisa:Nope, I want 'them' *looks at you* to press it
Tohru:Well...press away guys!
