Chapter 6: Eyes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                Kyo peeked around the corner, 'good, she's not around.' He quickly headed for the fridge, grabbed the milk carton and started drinking. 'If Tohru caught Yuki drinking out of a milk carton, she'd definitely start wondering...' Suddenly, the kitchen door opened and there stood Tohru.

                One gold and one silver eye watched as Kyo tried to make up an excuse for Tohru. Even with the new chaos that had surrounded the lives of these people…he was still bored. They just adapted too quickly and the girl is too dense to realize all of the hints that something is amiss…

                "Time to liven things up a bit more," he said as he flicked his tail and stretched out his wings, but he was interrupted by a voice,

                "Chaos! Do not tamper with the curse of the Sohma's! The curse-"

                "Too late for that speech!! You leave me to do my job as I see fit…and, whoever you are, you just go and mind your own business!"

                "What!? I'll h-"

                "Bye-bye! We're done talking!" with that, Chaos took to the sky until he reached the roof of Shigure's house.

                "I'll just watch from here."

                "Sorry to keep you waiting! Here it is!" Tohru said as she set down the food on to the table. When she sat down she decided to ask about some things that had been bugging her lately,

                "Umm…Shigure, why did you call Hatori here anyway?"

                "Oh…I just wanted to talk to him and I got him over here with the excuse of Yuki's monthly check up."

                "Has something happened? …Did I do something wrong?"

                "Hmm? No! Of course you haven't done anything wrong! Why do you ask?"

                "Because everyone's acting so strange! You're hiding something and…I know it's rude to pry, but I have to know! What's going on!?"

                Everyone was shocked. All they could do was stare at Tohru as she sat back down, waiting for a reply.

                'Ahh…the dense one isn't so dense,' Chaos just smiled as he continued to watch.

                "T-Tohru? …Well…we can't tell you just yet…I'm sorry." Tohru's eyes grew a little wider and some tears began to form as she looked down at her plate. Shigure's words stung more than she had thought they would.

                "I'm the one that should be apologizing...I shouldn't have been so nosey in the first place," she then got up and went upstairs.

                "Shigure!" Kyo glared at the dog, who had shut his eyes and put his hand on his forehead, "Why didn't you just tell her!?"

                "I have my reasons…and you should have yours too. We've already gotten in over our heads. Telling her now…without an explanation ready isn't wise at all…I don't like it anymore than you do, but…"

                "You could still-"

                "Shigure's right, Kyo…" Kyo gave Yuki a glare before getting up and leaving the room. 'There's nothing I can do if both of them are against me…' he thought unhappily as climbed up to the roof. When he poked his head up to make sure the roof was clear, he saw something shimmer out of sight. 'Maybe I should just go lie down instead…'

                Yuki opened his door only to find Kyo about to come out,

                "What are you doing?"

                "I was going to lie on the roof for a while, but something's up there…"

                "Like what?" Yuki pushed passed Kyo and sat on his bed.

                "I don't know but I don't like the vibes I'm getting from up there so I'm just going to go to bed." Kyo walked out and shut the door before Yuki could say anything else.

                'Whew…that was close,' thought Chaos as he resumed keeping an eye on the household. 'It's too early for me to make an appearance in front of any of them.'

                'I guess I should go check on Tohru but…that wouldn't help her to hate Kyo at all…' Yuki sighed as he stared up at the ceiling. He just couldn't do it. He loved Tohru too much to try to hurt her. He didn't want to see her cry anymore…even if it meant giving her up to Kyo. 'Unless I can think of a way that I won't end up seeing her tears…then I'll just give up.' With that resolved, he got up and headed towards Tohru's room.

                "Just stop crying…there's no need for that," Kyo said as he wiped away some of Tohru's tears. He knew he was just giving Yuki a better chance of taking her away from him but he couldn't just sit around while she was so sad. When she finally stopped crying, he started to get up to leave, but his foot got entangled in her legs and they both headed for the floor.

                Chaos watched closely as he saw the two falling, 'Now we shall see what has become of that odd curse.'

(AN: Umm…so what do you think will happen? Do you still like the story so far? Starting tomorrow, I'll be working in my grandmother's garden. (Which is very muddy now because of all the rain we've been getting here…Yippee. -_-))
