Chapter 4
*** Tohru's POV ***
Fresh tears welled in my eyes as Yuki's confession sunk in. My heart began to pound in my chest but I was still able to smile at him without shedding a tear.
"I love you too, Yuki. ... I---"
My words were cut off when Yuki pressed is lips to mine firmly. Although it was my first kiss, I could only partially enjoy it. The other part of me was sad. I knew that Yuki had to go to the main house to face Akito and I also knew that there was no telling when or if he would even be coming home.
I could hear a buzz around us and I was sure that everyone in the school was watching our kiss but I did not care. Yuki's hand found its way to my cheek and I placed my hand over his. I wanted to savor the sensations forever, never letting Yuki go, but all too soon we broke apart and stared into each others eyes intensely.
"I'll be back. I promise."
"I'll be waiting." I squeezed his hand one last time and then allowed him to lead me over to where the others still stood.
Kyo approached us, squeezing my free hand with misty eyes. I wanted to throw my arms around his neck and beg him not to go but I knew it wouldn't change anything.
"Kyo, I---"
"Just take care of her for me." He gestured over to Kagura and then leaned over, kissing my cheek gently.
It took all my strength but I managed a smile although tears were now rolling down both cheeks. "I promise."
"Thank you."
My tears were coming so quickly as Kyo turned away to face Kagura that I was almost blinded but I tried my best to stay calm and watch what was happening. He stared at her for a moment before opening up his arms and letting her jump into them. He held her tightly as she cried into his chest. His knuckles turned white when he crushed her body against his, kissing her with an air of obvious finality.
Momiji, Haru and Hatori all looked surprised but none of them dared to say a word. Now was definitely not the time for teasing. I felt like a piece of me was dying and I gripped Yuki's hand a bit tighter, knowing our final good-bye was now only moments away.
*** Kagura's POV ***
I held onto Kyo with a death grip. I couldn't let him go. I'd changed my mind. I didn't care what I'd promised him just this morning. Without Kyo, I had nothing! How was I ever supposed to be able to live knowing that he was locked in a cell of solitude forever?!
"I have to go." He whispered into my hear with an obvious lump in his throat.
"No. I won't let you." I whispered back, not softening my grasp one bit.
"You're such an idiot." He scolded with a halfhearted chuckle. "Didn't we talk about this?"
"I don't care. Please!"
"You promised me. If you break that promise, I'll never forgive you." He scolded a bit firmer this time.
A piece of my heart shattered. He was right. I'd never be able to live with myself if I'd caused Kyo to hate me and for that reason, we both knew that I'd keep my end of the promise no matter how badly it hurt.
"Okay." I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself before pulling away slightly, looking up into his beautiful eyes for the last time. "I love you."
He just gazed back at me, not saying anything but I could tell that he loved me too by the intensity of his stare. Our lips met briefly, one more time, before he leaned over and whispered into my ear so only I could hear.
"I love you too."
Kyo then let go of me and turned away without another glance. I reached out to stop him but a strong arm wrapped around my middle, holding me firmly in place. A quick glance over my shoulder showed me that it was Haru and he looked down at me with eyes full of concern and sympathy.
My eyes shot over to Tohru and Yuki who were still holding hands, staring at each other with tears in their eyes. Yuki actually managed to smile when he squeezed her hand one last time before letting go and following Kyo over to where Hatori stood. Tohru opened her mouth to say something but Momiji put his hand on her arm with a soft shake of his head, ending any attempt she might have made to stop them.
I saw her take a deep breath before she turned and met my eyes with the most lost, depressed expression that I'd ever seen on her sweet face. I could see her chest begin to quiver as she held back her sobs and it made me realize that she was feeling about Yuki the exact same way that I was feeling about Kyo.
Haru took my hand firmly so I couldn't break away from him without a fight and led me over to where Tohru and Momiji stood. The younger girl wrapped me up protectively in her embrace and we huddled together to watch the boys leave.
*** Kyo's POV ***
I'd never imagined that it would be so hard to say goodbye to Tohru and Kagura. I also never realized that admitting my feelings to Kagura would leave me feeling so empty inside when I finally found the strength to pull myself away from her. I just keep telling myself over and over that Tohru would be able to watch over Kagura for me. I had to have faith in her.
Yuki and I approached Hatori silently, both knowing that we were leaving behind two beautiful girls who would have been willing to do anything in their power to save us. I silently prayed that Haru and Momiji would be able to control the girls long enough for us to at least get in the car before I lost my nerve completely.
"Ready?" Hatori asked us softly.
We both nodded but I didn't dare speak for fear that emotion would overtake me. When I took a side glance at Yuki, I was surprised to find that he was looking over at me too. He had a determined look in his eyes and I'd be lying if I said I was surprised. That damn mouse never gave into anything and into anything and it was obvious that this was not going to be an exception.
'We can run away together.' Kaguras words replayed in my head and I couldn't help but smile. She may be older but she was still naive, always thinking that she'd be able to protect me. Unfortunately, we weren't children anymore and I had to be a man and learn to accept my fate. I'd lost a bet with Akito far and square. There was no going back.
We got to the car and I thought everything was going to be okay until I heard a sharp scream tear through the air.
"KYO, wait! DON'T GO!" Kagura was screaming at me wildly, sounding like a wounded animal. "Let me go, dammit! We have to stop them! LET ME GOOOOO!"
I could hear her fighting Haru and Momiji violently, trying to get free from their grasps but I tried not to pay attention. I climbed into the car, quickly sitting down and immediately closing my eyes. I didn't even look back once. I couldn't bare to even take a glance. I knew that she'd be distraught. I could hear it in her voice but if I saw that beautiful face covered with tears, I knew I'd never be able to go.
Yuki climbed into the car next to me, also avoided any backwards glances. He was obviously feeling the same way I did. His jaw was clenched tight together and I knew that God better have pity on Akito because Yuki wouldn't.
As the car began to pull away, any piece of my heart that I may have had left, broke. My whole world simply shattered, knowing that I'd never again be able to relive all the joys that I'd found in these last few years. In simply terms, reality hit me like a ton of bricks.
*** Tohru's POV ***
When the car finally pulled out of sight, my knees gave out and I collapsed to the ground, letting sobs flow freely from my chest. Kyo and Yuki were gone. Although Yuki had promised to return to me, I had a hard time being completely confident. I knew I'd never love anyone the way I loved Yuki and just the very thought of losing him made me feel physically ill.
Haru and Momiji still held Kagura back. She'd been fighting tooth and nail to break free from her younger cousins. Finally, now that the car was out of site, she stopped everything. She didn't move, speak or even breath for a long time. She just stared with lifeless eyes. That look made it obvious to all of us that her entire life had just been taken away in that car.
A few minutes later, Momiji came to my side. He wiped away my tears and helped me back to my feet.
"Lets go home."
I didn't say a word. I just let the blonde haired man lead me away to the place that I knew would never feel like a home again, now that Yuki and Kyo were gone.
