*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Chapter 8: I Love You Kagura*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Snapping back into reality, Sin quickly pushed away from Haru. "What in the hell do you think you're doing?!"
He grinned, "What's the problem, you weren't complaining a minute ago."
Sin glared, "Who do you think you are?! You can't just grab someone, kiss them, and expect them to go along with it! I bet you do this to a lot of girls don't you? Just use them for your own sick pleasure!" She slapped him acorss the face, and suprisingly, he turned back to White. He them looked down at her and blinked as she looked at the ground. "I'm sorry....I shouldn't have hit you so hard..."
"What?" he asked, "Do I know you from somewhere?"
She looked up at him, "What did you say...?"
"I'm sorry but I don't think that we've met before, have we?" he asked.
She frowned as tears filled her eyes, "I hate you...I hate you!" She shoved past him and ran down the sidewalk.
He stared after her, more confused than ever.
Neither of them noticed the black car parked across the street...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Meanwhile, inside the shop...*
"Here Ayame! Tohru told me to give this to you!" Momiji chirped, holding out a tin full of cookies.
"Oh! They look wonderful!" Ayame exclaimed, taking them from his younger cousin.
Momiji looked at his watch, "Oops! Gomen ne Ayame! We wanna go visit Kagura before visiting hours are over!" Momiji called as he ran out of the shop, waving over his shoulder, "See you later!"
Ayame set the cookies on the counter and walked into the back room. "Mine! Is that dress ready yet?" he called.
"Yes! I'll be there in just a minute!" the girl called in reply.
Ayame began to look over their customers order forms that sat on the table, "We're really backed up this month. I think that we should work over the weekend to get....caught...up..."
Mine walked out of the back room wearing a beautiful wedding dress. She had her hair down but kept her glasses on. "How does it look? Did I get the colors right?"
Ayame continued to look at her, speechless. He had never seen her look so beautiful.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kyo opened his eyes, taking in the now familliar surroundings. "That's right...I'm in the hospital waiting room....Wait! The waiting room?! Kagura!" Realizing that he had fallen asleep in the waiting room, he quickly stood up. The clock on the wall read 2:07 pm. He had been asleep for nearly three hours! "Kagura!"
He ran down the hall and pressed the button for the elevator. After a minute of impatient waiting, he began to run up the near-by stairs. Thoughts of Akito crossed through his mind. Even though Kagura had been moved off life support, Akito could still find some way to hurt her.
He finally reached the room, panting heavily. He felt his heart drop as he found her bed empty. He was too late! He collapsed to the ground, punching it as tears flowed down his cheeks. "Kagura...."
"Kyo-kun...?"
Kyo's eyes widened as he turned around. Kagura was standing in the doorway, being supported by doctor Ryui and a nurse. "Kagura!" He got up and ran over to her, embracing her tightly. "Thank God....I thought...I thought..." He pulled her closer as the tears continued to flow, "I love you Kagura..."
She burried her face in his chest, beginning to cry herself, "I've waited so long to hear you say that....Kyo....I love you too....so much..."
They continued to hold eachother, despite the fact that they were recieving many stares and glances. Even when Haru and Momiji arrived, they didn't part.
"I love you Kagura....I love you..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Now, back at Shigure's humble abode...*
"Shigure! Tomorrow's your deadline!"
"Ahh Mii-chan, have you ever noticed how beautiful the sky is?" the writer sighed.
His young editor continued to whine in only a language that Shigure understood. Why did Shigure always insist on torturing her?
"Dont' worry Mii-chan, I have it right here," he said happily, handing her the manuscript.
"Shighuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeee," she continued to cry.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tohru giggled as she listened to the conversation taking place in Shigure's office.
"I said it before and I'll say it again, he's going to be the death of that woman," Yuki sighed.
"Aww common Yuki-kun, I think they're really cute together," she replied. Her smile soon faded as she looked at Yuki. "Are you alright Yuki-kun?"
He blinked, "What? Oh! Yeah, I'm fine Honda-san," he answered, forcing a smile.
"I've known you long enough to be able to tell when something's wrong," she stated, "Please tell me what it is."
"It's just...the other day, when Kagura was first hospitalized....I threatened Akito when he ordered her to be taken off life support," he paused for a moment before continuing, "I guess I'm just a little paranoid at what he plan's to do now..."
Tohru rested her hand over Yuki's. "I think that what you did was very brave Yuki-kun. I certainly don't know if I'd ever have the courage to do what you did...try not to worry about Akito-san. Besides, he seemed really threatened by you, I'm sure that he isn't stupid enought to try and do anything, you're a lot stronger then he is!"
Yuki smiled, "Thank you Honda-san..."
They sat together in silence until yet another whine fest started up.
"SHIGUUUUUUURRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
For the Sohmas, life seemed to be taking a turn for the better...but for others.....
"Damnit Haru! Why did you lead me on like that?! You said that I was the only one you trusted with your secret! You made ME believe that I could trust YOU!" Mizu cried into her pillow, pounding on the bed with her fist. "I thought you cared about me Haru...I thought you cared for the the way I care for you...."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Much like her unknowing friend, the third party to this love triangle, sat alone at a bus stop. It began to rain, as if matching the mood of the two hurt girls.
'Do I know you from somewhere?' His voice continued to echo through her mind. She pulled her legs up and wrapped her arms around her knees, burrying her face on them as well.
"Escuse me miss, are you alright?" a voice asked from beside her. The person to whom the voice belonged held an umbrealla over the rain soaked girl.
"Please...just leave me alone..." Sin mumbled.
"But you'll catch a cold if you stay in the rain."
"I don't care..."
"Something awful must have happened if you don't care about your health.
Sin sighed deeply, "Well...I kinda like this guy...but today he kissed me, then pretended not to even know me..."she explained sadly.
"I'm so sorry, " the voice said, "I can help take away all of your pain if you wish..."
She looked up at the person for the first time, "What do you mean....? Who are you?"
He smiled, "My name is Akito. Akito Sohma.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sin: That's it for this chappy! I hope everyone liked it. Dont you love cliffies? Is anyone confused as to who's gunna end up with who? I guess you'll just have to keep reading! See you next time! Mizu gets to write the next chappy! R+R! I'm in the mood for marshmellows so flames are welcome~! (though not preferred!) R+R
