Ch.5 'without them' pt.1
Tohru woke up the next day; she had fallen asleep on the coach again. It was sunny out side. Just like the day when which she had moved away from the sohma house .But even though she moved away, the sohma house seemed to follow her.
She was going to the same school as her best friends and Yuki. It almost felt like high school all over again. But it wasn't, even though Yuki still had a fan club and Arisa still took her lead pipe to school, there was one thing missing...kyo.
For the most part it didn't seem to have any effect on Tohru but to go without saying it had something of an effect on her, would be putting up a red flag. She missed being able to go on the roof and find him there sulking. Or to see him in the hallway giving Yuki mean looks. In a way it really bothered her. There were things she could only talk to Yuki about and thing she could only talk to Kyo about. And this year, most the things she wanted to talk about were things Yuki would not understand or not see.
Still Tohru got on her uniform and picked up her books, firmly heading toward school. When she got in her homeroom everyone was huddled around Yuki or pushed off to the side saying things they thought were optimistic. Tohru walked over to Arisa and put her books down on the desk.
"Arisa, do you know what all the huddling is for?"
"Yeah, haven't you heard? There's been a roomer that orange-top might come to this school."
"Really?"
"Yeah, and now everyone is going to Yuki to find out if its true. From what he told me, I think orange-top is going to be raising hell in this school this year."
"But he cant...the exams are done and..."
"Yuki said Shigure paid for him to go, that way Kyo didn't have to mope around the house so much. Plus he said it would give him something to do. I just think Shigure wanted him out of the house so he could write his dirty stories in peace."
"Well, that does seem like Shigure...but I don't think Kyo would like it that much."
"He told me about that. Yuki said he was forced to go and if he didn't he would be found a hard job and put straight to work!"
"I know Kyo wouldn't like that."
"I'm not looking forward to it though, its going to be living hell on wheels as long as he's here."
"Maybe that's because you keep edging him on Arisa."
"You think so?"
Just then the teacher walked in and they started role call. If Arisa were right then Kyo would be coming to their school soon. And she could see him again. After homeroom and first period Tohru caught up to Yuki in the hallway.
"Yuki, is it true? Is Kyo really coming to this school?"
"I'm afraid so, he'll be in most of our classes. At least our math, English, social studies and science classes." (Yuki! how dare you say that. It's good Kyo going. YAY, YAY, YAY. Kyos coming back!!)
"So what field is he going in?"
"Shigure got him into martial arts, since he seems to enjoy it, Shigure thought it would make him feel alittle better."
"Oh, I see.hey do you think I could come over tonight and cook dinner?"
"Mm..."
"I don't have to if you don't want me to...or...if you have plans..er...I'm sorry I asked if I seemed rude or anything...."
"no, its OK. We would love you to come over for dinner. Please do, ill even pick you up at your house."
"...ok..thanks."
Yuki nodded and waved bye as the two went to their classes. It was a perfect moment. Kyo was coming to the school and she was going to be able to talk to him before hand.
After school Tohru waited outside for Yuki. When he came out they walked to the house holding hands. It was sunny and warms, exactly the type of day it was when she tried to run away from the sohmas. (get it, she moved on a day like this, so really when she moved it was like she was running away. Or at least to Yuki and Kyo that's what it felt like.)
As they approached the house she could see not a lot had changed from the last visit she had here. It was still alittle dirty, and the car was in the driveway but this time Kyo was on the roof. This kinda made her happy. Just to know he was up there. Almost like he was waiting for her to drop out of the sky, by the way he was laying.
Yuki smiled at her and opened the door for her. She walked in and greeted Shigure, who like always made sheepish claims about the heartache Yuki and Kyo were supposedly displaying.
Tohru walked up stairs quietly. Careful not to make a noise. She pasted her old room and then yukis and finally the hallway lead to Kyos room.yuki was downstairs , arguing with Shigure for making perverted comments and gestures. She opened Kyos door and stepped on the balcony.looking up at the ladder and roof above her Tohru started to climb the ladder.
Kyo was on the other side of the roof. She could easily go behind him with out him noticing her. She crawled over to him so she was parallel to him. Then she leaned a little closer and whispered softly in his ear.
"did you miss me?" ( I know, sounds alittle seductive but hey I had to spice it up a bit!)
Kyo jumped up about 2 feet and turned around quick.
"what the hell?! Why do you gotta keep sneaking up on me like that?! You know that scares the shit out of me when you do that. And especially when you whisper shit in my ear!"
she knew he was just embarrassed for being off guard so she just giggled and hugged him. She picked up the orange cat.
"hello Kyo! Hey that rhymes. Its OK you don't have to be embarrassed. I was trying to scare you."
"hey, who said I was embarrassed?"
"OK then your not embarrassed."
"wh...what? Damn your confusing me even more. Make up your damn mind woman."
"OK... so are you really going to the school?"
Tohru started to rub Kyo up against her cheek.
"would you stop it!"
"but I like how you feel, so snugly and warm they make you feel all cuddly inside you know." (for you who saw this episode, I got this phrase off of FLCL, so I give credit to them to.)
"what ever. Now what did you say?"
"about what?"
"I don't know , before you started bugging me."
"oh, that. OK, are you really going to my school this week?"
"maybe, I dunno. Why don't you ask Shigure, he's the one making me go."
"you don't want to go?"
"I was done with school before I ever started there no way in hell I would want to go back to that shitty place."
"but the food is good."
"that's not what I was talking about. I just don't want to go period. Its annoying."
"but Arisa , Hana and I are going to be there."
"and Yuki and teachers and yukis little preppy girl fan club bullshit..."
"but you're going to be going in martial arts."
"and....."
there was a long silence and then as bird sang , Kyo transformed back again. Tohru turned away as he quickly got dressed again. She really wanted to hug him again so she could press him up against he face again.but she knew he wouldn't like it.
She was happy Kyo was going to the school, even though she knew he didn't like it. She felt better knowing she could see him again. But this time it would be longer, longer than just a few minutes when she visited and more than when she saw him on the street.
Then it came back to her, she didn't think Kyo would be able to talk to her as much. As she watched him put on his jacket she remembered what he had said. There was something he couldn't tell her , which was about her. But she still did not understand why he could not tell her.
She had thought it was something bad but she always thought of him as the one that was open about his opinion. Then there was that feeling that it was something personal but he always seemed to be alittle opened about his personal life as well. He wasn't afraid of telling a person how he felt about them, well not to her anyway. He would tell the person straight up if he hated them or not and even if they didn't want to hear it , that was what they were going to hear.
Yuki poked his head out of Kyos room .
"Tohru, would you like me to come with you to the store."
Tohru said bye to Kyo and went to the store with Yuki. The walk seemed very long, it almost felt as if they were being watched. Indeed they were, a familiar shadow loomed in the distance, then quickly disappeared behind a mailbox.
"did you see that Yuki-San?"
"yeah, it looked like...."
Out of the air Hana suddenly appeared behind Tohru.
"Tohru I did not remember you telling me you moved back in with sohma-Kun."
"ha..hana! umm.. I'm not.im just cooking dinner for them. That's all."
"oh, I see ,so where is the other sohma boy?"
"you mean Kyo? He doesn't go to the store with us. Even if he did he would just get in a fight with Yuki."
"so he is home with the novelist?"
"yeah, he always stay home."
"is it true?"
"about the school thing? Yea."
"no, about his secret."
"secret.....?"
"so he hasn't told you yet.i see now."
"see what? Hana, do you know?"
"how can I know if you don't even know. After all its you..."
Hana walked away as Tohru stood in her place, thinking if the same thing she was talking about was the same thing he would not tell her. Yuki didn't ask, even though Tohru knew he wanted to. And that night as she made dinner and Kyo walked in to get a drink she asked him if he was keeping something from her, but he just responded with a shrug of his shoulders.
He didn't want to get on his nerves so she left it at that. After dinner Kyo drove her home.his car rode softly on the road, but inside that gentle ride there was a secret being kept. Tohru held it in but inside it was burning her out.
She really wanted to know, no matter how selfish that sounded , it was the truth. The raindrops stuck to the window. Her eyes watched as two drops raced each other to the bottom of the glass. It reminded her of herself, always trying to race the day. To see which one of them would be beat. But not once had she ever beat the day.
And as the red light turned green she could feel her heart sink just alittle more. Maybe it was being so close to him yet being so far away. Or maybe it was just him..
A lightning bolted across the sky as she sunk in the back of the seat. The rain started to hit the car as to make it sound like millions on people were throwing rocks at the small vehicle. Kyo took a glance at Tohru as she sunk deeper into the front seat.
"You OK?"
"Yeah, I'm just afraid of lightning. That's all. I'm fine.... Just alittle scared that's all."
"oh, were here."
The car pulled up to her driveway slowly.they stayed in the car to wait until the rain died down alittle. There was silence in the car as the rain hit the roof and the thunder roared outside.
The air felt heavy on Tohru's shoulders, as if it were holding something that weighed her down. Tohru stared at the window for a long time wishing it would stop raining and thinking about the person beside her.
"Kyo..."
"umm??"
"I was wondering, about that thing you couldn't tell me before...is it something , bad, about me?"
"no, why?"
"I don't know , I just felt like you didn't like me anymore or something. Its silly, I know."
She sunk alittle deeper into her seat. Then as she looked at the window she noticed the rain was slowing down. She started searching around for her books, but couldn't find them.
"do you know where my books are?"
"no...did you look under the seat?"
"Its not there maybe it's in the back."
"ill check."
Kyo went in the back to look as Tohru leaned over the seat trying to see where it was. She lifted her head up to look outside and noticed it was lightning again.
"well, its storming again ."
"good, cause I cant find em'."
Just as Kyo got up and faced Tohru, she leaned alittle closer. Then before either one of them could stop it , they were lip-locked for a full 9 seconds. (Short and sweet, he!)
Tohru jumped back a bit, after they parted their lips.
"sorry, I didn't mean too! Its just you got up and I moved forward and ...um.. Funny how those things happen."
Kyo blushed alittle and got back into his seat. He didn't say anything, I mean what could he say. It was an accident , that's all... and accidents happen.
Tohru was beet red at this point, huddled on the other side of her seat, she didn't know if he was mad at her or what. But as she wondered about that , she replayed those few faint moments in her head.
She had to admit , for their first kiss together... it was pretty good. Well she enjoyed it. But she would never tell Yuki or Kyo that. Kyo would probably get mad or keep asking her stuff and Yuki would be either jealous or call Kyo a pervert for the rest of his life.
Kyo couldn't say it was horrible and he didn't want to get made over it, but it seemed he wasn't going to forget this for a long time.
Kyo started the car up and drove home. When they got back she got her books, but this time Shigure drove her home. Kyo said he was tired, but Tohru just understood it as 'ive got a lot on my mind, I don't need anymore.' Tohru didn't mind and when they got on the road she told Shigure about it.
Shigure didn't take it as bad as she thought he was. For one he didn't call Kyo a pervert or ask her why. After all she told him it was an accident...or was it?
Ive got to put more things in these chapters. O yea , We r not that far off from da end of dis story. But don't worry, I might make a seaquel. I told u they would kiss. Even though it's more like a peck, instead of a kiss. They still lip-lock for 9 sec.s! My first lip-lock was for 8 sec.s, but I made it 9 cause its my lucky #. Lalalalalalalalalala. Im allergic to cats. It sux. I have a pet turtle though! Its name is sessy, named off of sesshoumaru from inuyasha. That show rox. But I like fruba better! Ok, I better get started on my next ch. Bye
