Chapter Seven: The New Twisted Plan
~~~~~ Last scene from previous episode~~~~~
Haru had long ago changed to White after the fight, thus he simply nodded in agreement. From there, the two "rivals" for love stood at a ceasefire relationship and waited for Yuki's arrival where they would have to further continue to prevent their venting anger over Tohru.
~~~~ Back to story~~~~~
The weeks passed, as if everything was back to normal, while Yuki was on his return home. Yuki, himself, had changed tremendously. He had gotten a haircut, with a style similar to Kyo's. He had lost quite a bit of weight since he traveled and walked practically day and night for his campaigning. It really exhausted him. But, he as soon as he returned home, he was content. Regular home-life would be a wonderful break. As he entered his old residence, he uncharacteristically, yelled "Tadaima! (as before mentioned, that basically means: 'I'm home!')."
Every Sohma as well as Tohru were very glad and happy for their "star" relative to return. All of the Sohmas who remained in Japan came back for a family reunion. There was a huge feast held for this special occasion. Along with Kisa's help, Tohru was able to manage preparing for this event since it required much cooking and cleaning. Activities were just like the "old-days." Tohru, panicking and cooking wildly for things to be just perfect; Kisa, acting rather timidly and yet angelic; Hiro, reacting with the same arrogance; Momiji, whining and acting cute as always; Haru, getting lost in conversation and admiring Yuki; Kyo, arguing and yelling around Yuki to piss him off; Shigure, laughing wildly; Hatori, remaining calm and collective; and Yuki trying to stay rational due to all the noise that had returned to the house.
It was a wonderful and cheery evening. Everything from the past month had died down deep into everyone's hearts. Life was truly back to normal. Excluding daily feasts, everyone joined up for the same event for the next few weeks. But also, Kisa and Hiro had left due to their tiresome and non- stop studies for entrance exams; they were going to go to High School the following school year. Then, something new began to strike up tension.
Two weeks after his arrival, the Wednesday of the third week of Yuki's stay new feelings were aroused. During the two weeks, Yuki and Tohru spent a lot of time together, not intimately, but like really good friends. However, Haru and Kyo thought differently. These minds were more in the gutter and assumed they had actually done it. There was no real confirmation of this conjecture, but it could be proven due to their reactions and times spent together seen by other Sohmas.
Of course, Shigure had known the 'true' fact. Love was interlaced between Yuki and Tohru, but more like a deep sister-and-brother relationship. However, to just get a test of some very wicked experiment. It was just a mere chance, he could ruin the poor adolescent lives, or he would start something new to consider due to their lack of choices. In one sense, like the "fatherly figure" of the household, he had to prepare his "troupe" for the worst-case situation or scenario. Shigure would hook up Haru and Kyo together. If Yuki were to fall deeper in love with Tohru, Haru and Kyo would not have a chance. Thus, they could fall into deep depression with possible attempt of suicide, obviously not a cool idea. He just didn't want to see that happen, so to substitute, he could chain the two up together to keep each other standing strong.
The thing is, he was uncertain with this idea as well. If they would stick together, who knows really how far they might go? They could fall in love with each other. It would be a similar case of the love triangle of Hatori, Ayame, and himself. With that type of relationship, life could get tough among the social atmosphere in school, as Shigure recalled to his memories. Also, he noted the future risks for job opportunities. It was a tough call, but he eventually decided to take the chance. He then secretly devised a plan for Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, and Haru to be seen in pairings to arouse some more jealousy. Then, something of the obvious would occur. After that, he would just have to wait in for the fateful future.
First, he decided he could set Kyo and Haru in the same room as Yuki and Tohru, together. It was the perfect opportunity this one day where he would send both, secretly, off to the same room as Yuki and Tohru, who would be studying some college courses together. It worked out as planned.
Shigure had walked into Kyo's room, without knocking, but he said quickly, "Tohru-kun wants to speak with you for a moment." Then he left to immediately say the same thing towards Haru, and then he left to the scene to witness the brief tragedy. Deep in Shigure's heart, he regretted what he had done, but his mind was set on making sure, by testing if both Kyo and Haru's souls could take the pressure without their angel, Tohru.
At the set scenario, Tohru and Yuki started giggling together after a brief joke. They ended up on the floor, but they weren't that close together, just laughing their guts out. At that time, Kyo and Haru approached the door.
"What are you up to, you cow?" Kyo asked rather bluntly.
"Just checking up something with Tohru," Haru replied plainly.
"Fine, we'll go in together." When they entered the room, they were shocked and shaking with fury, seeing both of the two diligent study partners on the floor.
As Haru was about to say something, Kyo ran up to him immediately, sweeping Yuki off the floor. "Oi, kusonezumi (1.), naniwoshiteiru-" (2.)
"What the fuck do you think you are doing, you bastard?" Haru asked raising his tone. "What do you want, you stupid cow and bakaneko (3.)," Yuki said feeling quite irritated now. "What did I do?" "What do you think?" Haru indicated Tohru being on the floor. "Haru-kun, it's not what you think!" Tohru exclaimed, finally realizing what Haru was getting at. "Yeah, we were just laughing a bit too much," Yuki said calmly. "Please let me down now."
"Stop trying to make excuses," Kyo pushed forward, soon slamming Yuki's still rather weak body on the wall. It made him cough, trying to regain his breath. "Tell me the truth!"
"I am!" Yuki breathed out with as much as his lungs allowed him to.
"Stop it Kyo-kun!" Tohru exclaimed now feeling worried. "You're hurting him! Anyway, he did not do anything wrong!"
Kyo then glared at Tohru, "Shut up, stop trying to defend a criminal."
Tohru sat down; she knew she couldn't do anything, being a weak underling.
Although, Haru was furious at this time, he had regained his true conscience and ran up to Kyo's position where Haru began to pry his arms away from Yuki.
"Let him go, Kyo," Haru said calmly. "It really wasn't any of our business."
"Shut up!" Kyo said unreasonably and punched Haru across the cheek. Fortunately and surprisingly, Haru maintained his personality. "Just leave them alone."
He immediately after, knocked Kyo out, to release his hold on Yuki. "Sorry for bugging you. I don't know what was going on, but just be warned, any funny business, you'll be dealing with me." Tohru and Yuki nodded silently in response. He then walked out of the room, carrying Kyo over his shoulder. Kyo had silently muttered, with a teardrop, "Tohru."
Shigure then went to his own study. 'Maybe that wasn't a good plan, afterall,' he thought shaking his head. 'What have I done?'
Back in Kyo's bedroom, where Haru took him, Haru had laid his body on the bed. He, himself, sat down and put his head between his head. He quietly thought to himself, but he felt the bed stir.
Kyo uttered while reaching his hand forward, "Tohru." "It's me," Haru said looking at him. "Kuso, (4.)" Kyo said while looking down starting to break down in tears. "I can't have her."
"Well, that just means we have to look harder for our true love, ne?" Haru said optimistically, patting Kyo on the back. Kyo felt relieved by that warm feeling. Despite the fact that he wished it were Tohru. He just couldn't take the truth. He thought he had a chance with Tohru, but from that, it was apparent. Tohru loved Yuki, even while he was away. The times getting close to her, were just futile. He just couldn't take the harsh reality. He grabbed a hold of Haru and nestled into his chest.
"It's so painful. So very heart-breaking," Kyo shuddered out through his sobs.
"Calm down," Haru said, still stroking Kyo's back while now embracing him. "There are a lot of girls who love you still, probably even some guys."
"."
"Okay, it was a joke, the last section," Haru said slightly chuckling. "But, I come to realize, I don't need Tohru's love, if she doesn't like me. Always look towards the future."
Kyo actually thought that Haru was right, for a change. As the two years had passed with Haru closer, it occurred to him that he definitely became smarter. Everyone had changed because of Tohru's presence. Tohru, the savior for Sohma family, seemed have betrayed his heart. It totally tore his soul.
Kyo tried to get closer to Haru, by pushing more into his chest and hugging the younger man harder. "Haru, what would I do if you weren't here?" Kyo asked through his dying sobs. "You seem to help me now, at my time of breakdown." (don't ask what that means, I tried sounding "pleading")
"Of course, buddy," Haru said bringing a slight grin on his face. "I never hated yah, I just couldn't bare what I had done to Tohru. I was angry more at myself. I just couldn't contain myself. Her love for me obviously had faded. To tell you the truth, I think our arguments have made my stress levels decrease. The venting really helps. I want to thank you."
"I, too, would like to thank you. It was the same case for me, but I was actually angrier at you. I am sorry, it was a misunderstanding," Kyo said raising his head from Haru's chest. "I should have never injured you, please forgive me."
Barely able to take Kyo's depression, Haru swiftly said, "It's okay." Then, he risked everything by placing a kiss on Kyo's trembling lips. Kyo was surprised, but he gladly received the deeper comfort and embraced him closer. It made both of them warmer and happier. After a few moments, both released each other's mouths.
"Sorry, to be so abrupt," Haru said, gasping for more air. "It's okay," Kyo said, and then smiled. "Thank you."
"Shall we go out and get something to cool our minds off?" Haru suggested. "Like ice cream?"
"What?!" Kyo exclaimed. "Ice cream in the winter?!"
"Sure, why not?"
"Uh." Kyo started. "Ikuzou! (5.)" Haru said while grabbing Kyo's hand leading him out of the door. A suspicious pair of eyes in the shadows, silently grinned as well as the mouth connected to that particular face. "So, let's see what will happen."
Japanese Translations:
1. 'Oi, kusonezumi' - "Hey, damn rat" (this is what Kyo typically says, but I just had Haru say for once.
2. 'naniwoshiteiru-' - "What are you doin-?" then he is interrupted.
3. 'bakaneko' - "stupid cat" Yuki's name for Kyo, when he is annoying
4. 'Kuso' - "Damn it" or sometimes implied as "Fuck"
5. 'Ikuzou' - dictionary form/slang for "Let's go"
