Chapter 7: Choices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yuki opened Tohru's door just in time to see the Kyo and Tohru falling and he quickly shut it back—he was afraid to find out what would happen. 'I'd better tell Shigure,' he thought as he quickly headed down stairs.
Tohru slowly opened her eyes; she lifted her head to get up but froze when her eyes met with Yuki's… 'H-he didn't change!? Is this what they have been trying to hi-' her thoughts came to a halt when she received a powerful kiss from Yuki and then a tight hug. After a second or two, her brain went back to functioning and she tried to pull away as she yelled,
"NO!!" he let her go as soon as she started struggling with a hurt and bewildered look on his face.
"I'm…I'm sorry…" She looked back up at Yuki, who now was now glaring at the wall, and before she could say anything else he said,
"Don't apologize. It's my fault…I shouldn't have done what I did," he stood up and headed for his room. When he got there, he began to mentally kick himself for not remembering that he was in Yuki's body. 'Damn it! I'm such an idiot! Why in the hell did I go and do something like that!? Now-' his thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his door and before he could say anything, Shigure and Yuki came in. Yuki spoke first,
"What happened?"
"Nothing."
"What do you mean nothing?"
"I mean NOTHING! When she fell on me, I didn't transform!"
"WHAT!?" Shigure and Yuki both yelled in union and then just stared at Kyo. This time, Shigure was the first to speak,
"Well…this is getting more and more serious…What could all this mean, I wonder? Well I'll call Hatori sometime tomorrow and ask him how long it will take to figure out anything from the samples he took…and Yuki…"
"Yes?"
"I know you got a hefty pounding earlier…but could you please finish patching up the front door for me while I talk to Kyo?" Yuki frowned and then said,
"Fine! But you have to patch up the rest of the mess by yourself, Shigure…"
"Yes, yes…I'll do it all by my lonesome self." He received a few grumbles from Yuki as he went out and shut the door. He turned back towards Kyo only to be met with one of his glares,
"What do you want?"
"I just wanted to ask about the yell I heard that came from Tohru's room before we came up stairs." He watched happily as Kyo's face began to flush. "What exactly happened after you didn't transform?" Kyo flushed a little more and angrily replied,
"None of your business, you damn pervert!"
"Kyo, you're so mean, when I'm only worried about the well being of-"
"Get out!"
"But..."
"I said GET OUT!" before he knew it, Kyo grabbed him by the collar and shoved him out of the door. 'Well…at least I know that something did happen…and that it wasn't too serious or else he would have kicked me out as soon as I opened my mouth...I wonder if Yuki will find out?' Shigure continued thinking as he headed for his room.
Chaos couldn't help but laugh. 'This is just the beginning!' he smiled evilly as his eyes began to glow. "It's done," his eyes went back to normal and he continued to observe the silly mortals.
Yuki finished patching the door and headed for his room. It had been a long, and painful, day…As he climbed the stairs, he thought about what all had happened that day, but out of all of the things that had happened, the most recent events were what was nagging at the back of his mind, 'Why didn't Kyo transform…and will I not transform too?' His thoughts dwelt around that subject until he drifted off to sleep.
Kyo's mind was still being tormented by the past events of the whole crazy day…What Tohru had done still hung heavy on his heart and mind… 'Did she fight against Yuki because she likes me…or did I just startle her?' His mind raced and he mentally cursed about certain events of the day until sleep finally came to him.
Tohru couldn't sleep. Her mind thought about the events of the day and her heart felt like it was being pulled into two directions…She liked Kyo…but Yuki had held her so tight…and his kiss…She blushed and scolded herself for thinking like she was. 'I already told Kyo that I liked him…but…' She shook her head back and forth and tried to stop thinking about the subject. Suddenly, she felt like she was being watched and sat up as she looked around for the source of the feeling. When her eyes came to her window, she saw a flash of silver, and then nothing. The feeling had gone with the silver light…whatever it was. She got up and looked out her window. She saw nothing but one white feather on the edge of her windowsill. 'What could have been watching me?' she wearily climbed back into bed, still looking towards her window. "Must have been some kind of bird…" she slowly drifted off as that thought helped to calm her nerves.
'Good thing it was too dark for her to tell that there were some hairs too…Though it wouldn't matter…She'd never correctly guess what had been watching her anyway…' Chaos climbed into a high, thick tree before curling up on a branch and trying to get some rest himself.
