Someone To Care About
Tohru's heart stopped her fragile chest. It was...the anniversary of the day when Kyo turned into the hideous beast before her very eyes.
That damned rainy day.
Kyo tore his gaze from her glazed sapphire eyes, bringing upon the memory of that desolate time. He stared back down at his clenched fist, his right hand where the Juzu beads dangled in a sense of malicious pride. Pride to locking Kyo away in an eternity of loneliness.
But Tohru was the key
'So...Kyo...I want us to stay together!!'
"Tohru..."
Tohru's large azure optics blinked at Kyo's sudden soft intonation. His voice was usually loud and angry, never to show a sign of care or kindness. But...now...his every vowel was soft, his voice smooth and gentle.
Kyo turned his body, his once narrow eyes open and wide, inviting and...gentle. His hair brushed against his cheeks as he turned fully to face Tohru. He saw her innocence, and he embraced it; every bit of it. The gentleness in her eyes, the worry smothered on her face. The encouraging words that always left her small pale lips, the words that could heal anyone no matter what she'd say.
"K-kyo...?" Tohru's weak body trembled as he locked his eyes onto hers, his face concentrating on those deep cerulean eyes. He saw her eyes brim with tears and when one single on fell his heart cracked. She was crying...because of him. He gently placed his finger on her cheek, and brushed it to the side, wiping away the tears that fled. She gulped away more sobs, her eyes still brimmed making her eyes dazzle more cerulean than they ever were. He felt his other fingers move up to touch her cheek, and then his other hand found her left cheek. He cradled her face gently in her hands as if she was his most precious treasure.
'Tohru...' Kyo's mind wondered only on her, wondered how she could help anyone.
"Kyo...please, let the angels help you..." Tears rolled down her cheeks, falling gently and sparkling in the sun none the less. "I know...that if I happen to die...before you..."
Kyo's eyes brimmed with tears, as he felt his body tremble.
"...that I'll be the first angel to bless you...with comfort and..." Tohru closed her eyes, more small bubbles of tears flailing and falling down her cheeks, "...be the first one, to wrap my wings around you and tell you 'it's all okay.'"
Kyo's heart slammed at the words. No one...no one had ever been able to reach down to him and tell him such consoling expressions. Never...his mother, of course, she had always said those words of encouragement that she thought any other mother would say. But it wasn't true. Yuki was always cruel to him, Shigure just bothered him, and everyone else seemed to give him 'pity' which he hated more than anything. They always called him 'Lucky Kyo' for the fact of his luck didn't place him in the family. But wasn't he unlucky to still be cursed...but always live with his True Form, and be taunted at all his life?
Of course he was the one with least luck...he was the cat.
Kyo stared back at Tohru, never leaving her bright eyes, "T- tohru...you....you've given me everything that I've ever needed...encouraging words...a faithful smile...a bright, humorous mind...and..." Kyo brushed her cheek with his thumb, and pressed his lips against hers, 'You've given me...someone to care about.'
Author's Notes Don't worry!! This isn't the last chapter, only half way through. That would be a very fast story, just being put up in one day. I hope you all are enjoying, and please give me some hints or tips when you review. Thank you !!
