Origami Koshi
Chapter 3: I Have To Fake It
Kyou's Point Of View
A/N: I'm back with Chapter 3! Amazing, no? Gods, so many fanfictions to write. I still have to finish my Hiei X Kurama one Russian Roulette, plus I have a bunch of one shot Gensomaden Saiyuki ones starring Gojyo X Hakkai and oi, plently more. I'll have alot done this summer with Anime Expo 2004 to inspire me. Plus my Gensomaden Saiyuki plate and other stuff like that. But what inspired me this chapter was a cute yaoi fic and track 3 on the Saiyuki Image Album. Oh, also softball during PE today. I always think of good ideas during PE. Anyway, thanks for all the reviews. Oh, sorry for no HTML, stupid ff.net.
Kyou: Just get on with the story will ya?
Paisley: Don't make me bop you. Or have my Gojyo and Hiei action figures attack you!!
Kyou: Oh geez. Otakus...
I couldn't believe it, I was devastated. Tohru and Yuki were dating...boyfriend and girlfriend. Did she truly love Yuki? Did she? Or was she just being polite? That sounds like her more then the truly in love with Yuki bit, but I don't know. I'm pretty insecure when it comes to Tohru's feelings for me. I decided I'd just play along and pretend nothing's wrong. Letting Tohru know I love her now would just make things worst, plus I don't want her to know. Not yet.
" Kyou!" Tohru said, coming up to my room about an hour later.
" What?" I said, looking up from a manga I had just bought a few days ago. I was laying on my bed, a riceball stuffed in my mouth and with no shirt on. Too damn hot.
" Why'd you leave?" She asked, sitting on my bed.
" I forgot something at home." I lied.
" What'd you leave?"
" The money, to buy ice cream." I lied again.
" Kyou, Yuki gave you money. Speaking of which, oh nevermind." She blushed.
" What?" I asked suspiciously.
" It's nothing. But I still needed to go another store."
" Really? Which one?" I asked.
" The one near the train station. With the stationery. They have these cute strips of paper that you fold into stars. There's a story that if you make all of them in the package and put them into a jar, you make a wish and it'll come true. No matter what."
" What'll your wish be?" I asked, Tohru blushed.
" That the guy I love will love me in return." She confessed.
" Who's the lucky guy?" I smiled, poking her shoulder. " Yuki?" I asked.
" No, no." She smiled. " I can't tell."
" Why not?" I said, tilting my head.
" Hmmm, because if you say your wish out loud it won't come true. You should know that!" She smiled.
" Oh, I thought that only counted for birthdays." I said, leaning back on my bed.
" I still need to go to the store. Why don't you come with me?" She asked.
" Ehh, go ask Yuki." I said.
" But, I want you to come with me." She said softly.
" Hmmm?"
" Oh! I didn't mean to sound so direct!" She panicked. I sat up next to her and pinched her cheek gently.
" Was Tohru just asking for something...for herself?" I said in shock.
" Y-Yes." She blushed in embarassment.
" It's about time!! 'Course I'll go with you!" I said, pulling her cheek a little bit. I let her go and put on my shirt and we walked down to the stationery store. I was amazed at how many colors of paper there were. It was too girly. I didn't like it. I was still pissed off about her dating Yuki. It just dawned on me that at that very moment, her and Yuki were an item and that just pissed me off even more.
" I'll wait out here." I growled, trying not to get angry.
" Why? Come on in with me." She smiled. Damn her, damn that smile! I don't think she knew she could reel me in with that look. But, that's what made her cute. So oblivious to the way I felt about her. When she'd pull on my arm, reach over me to help me make riceballs, when she leaned on my shoulder, when I wanted her to help me out with homework. Little things she does that make me fall weak. Tohru, was my weakness.
" Fine." I grumbled, following her inside. She went over near the back and picked up two bottles filled with strips of small, neon and brightly pastelled paper. The bottle was topped with a cork and had a small silver star emblem on the top of the cork. They were cool.
" Want to buy one?" She asked.
" But I don't know how to make these." I explained.
" I can show you! They're not hard to make at all. They're just a little thing to pass the time with and when you're done it will all pay off."
" I guess I'll get one." I sighed. I had cooled off about my anger a bit (A TINY bit) because I thought about the fact that right after Yuki asked her out, Tohru and I went somewhere together almost immediately afterwards. I bet Yuki is steaming at home, hoping he would get to spend time with her. But here I was, buying origami stars with the girl I love.
" I'll pay." Tohru said, putting her money down. I picked it up and handed it to her.
" Nope, I'm paying. You can buy us ice cream later." I grinned.
" That's fine." She smiled. I payed the 2,500 yen and we continued on our walk around the train station area. It was nice, with a bunch of child and teenager stores. Tohru took me to a small cafe a few stores down from the stationery shop. We went inside and she ordered us a slice of vanilla cake each, with a small iced coffee. She paid, dispite the fact I offered to pay again. She wouldn't let me hear of it so I shrugged and said it was fine.
" Hmm, this is good." I said, taking a piece of my cake.
" They have other good pastries too. We should come here more often."
" It sounds like you do."
" No, I came here one with Hana and Uo for my birthday."
" Is that where you went before we had our little party with everybody else?"
" Yes. It was fun. It's nice having so many people care about me."
" I don't know a person who could be mean to you. You're so nice."
" Oh! No, No."
" Don't lie, you're just being modest. That's just how you are. You know you're too nice but you don't want to sound conceded. But nobody would ever think that. They can't."
" You're nice too Kyou. Thank you. You've always looked out for me and I am so grateful to you." She smiled, finishing off her cake. " You want to head home now? I can help you make some of your stars."
" Yeah, that sounds alright." I said.
I couldn't be mad at Tohru. She wouldn't have said no to Yuki. She couldn't have. She's too nice and she didn't want to lose her friendship with him. I was already mad enough at Yuki so I don't think things between us could get any worst. I guess I'll just have to deal with it and wait until it ends.
"And fold it over, and then-Kyou, you're folding the wrong way."
"No, it's how you're doing it."
" The color is supposed to be facing upwards. You did it backwards." She explained, pointing out my mistake. I sat quietly glaring at my 7th mess up. I tore it into little pieces quietly.
" Oh Kyou, I'm sorry. Maybe I should fold it with you." She said, taking both my hands and lacing them together, we were both blushing red as she carefully folded the paper in my hands. I wanted to tell her then but I couldn't.
" Sorry for intruding." Yuki whispered. Tohru flumbled with her hands and let go of mine instantly. She handed me the finished star and took her stuff and went to her own room.
" Sorry Yuki." She said, continuing to her room.
" Leave Tohru alone." Yuki glared.
" Right, as if." I glared back, putting the finished star in my small glass jar. Yuki left the doorway to my room and went to his own. Why did you have to be nice Tohru? You could've said no! You could...you could be with me now. I sighed and continued making my stars, insuccessfully.
