Escape
Tohru's eyes opened slightly, as she gently released from Kyo's kiss. Her fingers slowly snaked up to her pale lips, where Kyo had gently told her his true feelings.
His crimson optics settled on her face...her face was full of shock and confusion. Inside him, his soul and heart were clash, ripping him apart. I'm such an idiot...he thought to himself. Such a fool...to...think she'd like me that way...
Kyo lifted himself, backing up. His eyes were dilated with trepidation, as he backed away from her. "T-tohru...I'-I'm sorry...I'm SORRY!!" Kyo rampaged past her, feet slapping the cold ground as he raced outside.
Tohru jumped up, "Kyo!! Wait!" Tohru held out her hand to him, but the neko had already fled to the roof, his spot of comfort. Tohru brought her hand back to her chest, sinking to her knees as she buried her head in her hands, No...Kami, how? How? Does...does Kyo love me?
Kyo felt the rain pound him as he stepped outside. Even though I'm weak...maybe dying right now can help me...Kyo's eyes grew wide. Yes. Dying...would stop all his pain. Stop all his hurt, stop all the secret hatred, all the snickers behind cupped hands, into ears that heard and would help spread the word of the freak cat.
Death...a good decision.
Kyo climbed up onto the roof, like he usually does, gripping the edges of brick and swinging himself up until his feet hit the shingles. Standing on the top of the roof, his hands cradled his head, seeing the shocked look of Tohru still flashing in his eyes. Tears brimmed his eyes, the third time he started to cry. The reunion of the day he knew he loved Tohru...but that same reunion was of the day Tohru first saw Kyo as what he TRULY was: his True Form.
Suicide still sounded bitter on his tongue, it rolled off slowly and dryly when he told himself he'd be attempting it. Jumping off the roof...yes, he's done it before, but that was only to come down for another delicious dinner by Tohru or if the annoying Shigure called him to come down for some reason. Since he was a cat, he could land perfectly and safely...
But he could control that as much as he could his martial arts.
Gazing up into the rain packed heavens; Kyo gulped down the large knot that had formed in his throat. Could he really do this?
May the angels be with Kyo...
Kyo growled, bringing his hands to his head. No...but...staying would only hurt everyone more.
I always pray for you...every night.
"STOOOOP!!!" Kyo yelled at the top of his lungs, feeling his legs wobble. He had to escape...from all this pain, from hurting Tohru, from Yuki, from the curse. He had to...had to escape. Before lifting his foot to jump, Kyo's heart ran to his throat at hearing the yelp of someone.
"KYOOO! PLEASE! DON'T JUMP!"
My Notes: I'm SO EVIL! What a bad cliffy, eh? I'll update soon, but guys, please review. I've hardly gotten many reviews. Please, if your fans of Kyoru read and review and dont' be afraid to ask if I would like to read your stories. I love reading basically anything, so ask and maybe you'll become a favorite. Until next update!!--Kiyoshi
