Note: (8/6/03)School is in for me. So I will have a very hard time updating until spring/summer break. But…I will try to write what I can when I can.
Another note: (8/8/03)A little puppy came into our school courtyard shortly after a little kitten ran off from the kids that were being mean to it. The little puppy did nothing wrong. He was very cute and loving…and yet…some jerk off kicked the dog to death after the first bell rang. Blood was on the boy who killed the dog, who had kicked the dog in the stomach then the throat…at the very least. Where and how hard he kicked the dog exactly I don't truly know. What happened was passed though out the school by people who cared and by people who thought it was funny. (I also heard that you could see the dog's bones piercing through it's skin and that the boy had claimed it was just an automatic reaction because he claimed to be afraid of dogs…Also, the little kitten that I mentioned earlier was heard/seen by the dog for some time…meowing like crazy. T_T So sad.) This is just a small note of how cruel high school students can be…and how stupid. Sorry if you're angry for me putting this up. I just had to get this out of my system somehow.
Chapter 4: Mysteries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tohru's head started to pound as her consciousness slowly began to return. Her eyes peeked open as she felt a cool rag placed upon her forehead. Incidentally, she let out a moan as her eyes closed once more.
"Just lie still. You won't get better if you don't rest…" Kyo turned to glare at a snickering Shigure who was sitting over in a corner of the room, 'reading' his newspaper, "Pipe down, you--"
"Where…am I?"
Tohru forced her aching body to move into a sitting position, the rag falling off as she did this. Her eyes met with a pair of burgundy/red ones before she fell back onto her pillow.
"I told you to stop moving around!" he snapped at her as he replaced the wet rag after he cooled it off again.
Emotions of pain and relief tingled through out her body as she lay there. In a bed that someone had made for her…in someone's living room…somewhere she didn't know…alone with at least two men by the sound of the voices pounding into her throbbing head. A crash. Louder than thunder, something breaking, something splitting…then silence. Louder than any of the other noises. What could be making her feel so bad? This can't be some cold.
'…Why?'
To protect you from his one who is losing his sight. You shall save him. You shall stop the ensuing blindness that they are enforcing on him.
'What?? Who…?'
You needn't worry about that. As long as you can try to save him…
"Wake up!" Kyo began to shake the girl to try to snap her out of the weird trance she had gone into. A voice suddenly screamed in his head, forcing him to let go of her,
Warning, warning…warning…to be blind…to have no heart…to see but not see…to live…but not to live…to sacrifice…fear…love…happiness…hate…sorrow…do not fall prey to it…the others will not help you…
The voice finally ceased and the sudden silence roared back through his mind louder than the voice that had been previously screaming into every corner of his mind. This made him collapse onto Tohru, who had just snapped out of the awkward trance.
POOF!
Tohru gawked unbelievingly at the orange cat laying on top of her,
"What…??" she managed to utter out before passing out once more.
Kyo slowly woke up and shrieked when he realized where he was--and what form.
'Oh, damn! I hope she didn't see me. Good thing I had chased off Shigure earlier…' he thought as he ran upstairs, to get some wait out the transformation in his room.
Tohru shot up, something had awoken her from her sleep…but what? She didn't feel bad anymore…
'What happened?'
She looked down and gasped when she saw clothing piled up on her lap.
'It wasn't a dream…?'
She jumped as she heard a noise from upstairs and, for some reason, got up to see what it was. Even though she had no clue which room to look in, she some how managed to get the right door--or more like the wrong one--on the first try. She shrieked and shut the door back as she had walked in on the orange haired boy while he had been changing. Even though he had on his underwear, her cheeks were still bright red when he came out of his room, fully dressed.
"Can't you knock!? And what are you doing out of bed?" he yelled, a shade of crimson across his cheeks.
"I-I'm sorry! I'm feeling much better and I heard this noise and…"
"And what!?"
"I thought these might be yours…"
Tohru saw the boy's face get white as a sheet when she held up his clothing.
"Did…did you…? Were you awake?"
Tohru saw him shaking slightly as he tried to make words come out. She didn't understand for a moment but then remembered the orange cat she saw before she had passed out.
"Was…that orange cat…you?"
She didn't think it was possible, but his face paled even further as his eyes widened and his jaw dropped open slightly.
"Damn it! …I need a drink…" he swayed as he walked by her and headed down the stairs.
She set his clothes down just inside his room before following him. She was afraid he would pass out at any second. When she walked into the kitchen, she drew in a sharp breath as she tried not to scream. The boy had pulled out a bottle of thick red liquid,
'Blood…' and was gulping it down…
He turned to look at her and she once again wanted to scream…His eyes were glowing…Instead of screaming, she turned to run but he dashed, quicker than lightning, over to her and pinned her down with his hands and knees.
"Don't scream." he warned.
She didn't heed this warning and she felt lips being pressed against hers, cutting off her scream. She squinted her eyes shut as she could taste the blood he had been drinking on his lips and, despite her struggling, she couldn't break free of his iron grip…
'What will he do to me?'
