Chapter 3: Tohru's Interference
Previous chapter:
"Kyo...why didn't you tell me...was that the reason why you rejected me?" Tohru barged into the room and hugged Kyo, which made him transform into his cat form.
Her tears were soaking Kyo's fur as she gently held him in her hands.
"I'm sorry Tohru...I had no choice..." Kyo whispered, making no attempts to get out of Tohru's grip.
Continuation:
"Don't worry Kyo, I'll try to persuade Akito to let you stay in Japan." Tohru said to Kyo as she placed him gently on the floor. (Kyo is still in his cat form)
For fear that he would transform into his human form, naked, on the streets while chasing Tohru, Kyo watched helplessly as Tohru left the room.
************************************************************************
As Tohru strolled along the pavement towards the Sohma's main house, her mind was whirling of suitable words and excuses to tell Akito. She stopped at the huge gate, which looked as though it was part of a castle. She knew the address as it was always pinned on the refrigerator in the kitchen.
"This is it." Tohru sighed as she pressed the doorbell.
An old lady who let her in led her into Akito's room.
"You may leave..." A solemn voice diffused from behind the doors.
"Yes, Master." The old lady said as she bowed to Tohru before taking her leave.
"I've been expecting you Tohru Honda. Please, do come in."
"Umm...Mr. Akito...I want to ask you about Kyo's overseas course. Can he not attend it? I'm sure our education level here is just as good as those overseas." Tohru stammered.
"Nonsense! You insolent brat! How dare you challenge me, the head of the Sohma family? Who are you to give me orders? And I hate the way you call his name...Kyo...how intimate. Sadly, there is nothing you can do about it..." Akito cackled as he stepped out from the dark corner he was at just now.
Akito stared at Tohru's eyes like the way he had done before. The deep coldness of his eyes sent chills down Tohru's spine. His eyes were black. Not only black; it is the kind, which would shock you like one of those poisonous electric waves Hanajima possessed. Feeling frightened, Tohru stepped back. However, with every step Tohru retreat, Akito followed and went closer to her, until she felt her body against the door.
"You witch!" Akito snarled at her, sending a tight slap over Tohru's face.
He grabbed a bunch of her hair with one hand in order to bring her face up to his.
"Don't you ever dare think of snatching my zodiacs away from me. Even if it is Kyo, the outcast...you will NEVER possess him!" He blasted right at her face.
With great dexterity of her hands, Tohru managed to escape from Akito's grip and she ran out of his room, with tears glistening in the sunlight. On her way back to Shigure's house, she saw Kyo dash past her. Apparently, he was so anxious he did not even notice her.
"Kyo! Where are you going?" Tohru asked in that concerned voice, which could even, melt a mountain.
Kyo turned around, flustered.
"Tohru! Why didn't you wait for me? Did you know how dangerous it was?"
Tohru barely nodded and broke down into tears.
"What happened? Did Akito do something to you?" Kyo questioned as he lifted up Tohru's face by her chin, "He slapped you? Why that beast! I'm going to get even with him!"
"No, Kyo." Tohru gave his arm a tug. "It was my fault for being so nosey. I should not have gone in the first place. Now I've worsened the situation. There is no way Mr. Akito is going to let you stay, now that I enraged him...I'm so sorry Kyo...I just wanted to help..."
"Silly girl, I know you meant well..." Kyo patted Tohru's head slightly. "Tell you what, let's go back and think this over, okay?"
"Perhaps five years isn't such a long time after all...maybe when I return you would have found a different guy..." Kyo continued as his voice faded.
"No Kyo! I won't!" Tohru shook her head vigorously.
************************************************************************
During dinnertime, everyone was too dismayed about the news to eat. Even Yuki, who is the all time rival of Kyo, was sad.
"Cheer up...it's not like I'll be gone forever..." Kyo said. "Moreover, when I'm gone Yuki, your life would be easier...but make sure you treat Tohru well or I'll get even with you when I'm back. You heard me?"
Yuki stared at him, stunned. Tohru emerged from her seat and ran up to her room.
"Tohru!" Kyo shouted, chasing after her.
He barged into her room and found her burying herself under the blankets, sobbing.
"Don't cry Tohru...it hurts me to see you like this. That is why I've never intended about breaking the news of my departure to you...perhaps we could salvage the situation? Let's seek help from Shigure and Hatori. (Hatori is the doctor who is SUPPOSED to be the dragon) They'll know what to do."
Tohru crept out from her "bomb shelter" and nodded at Kyo.
