Origami Koshi
Chapter 6: I Need Him.
Tohru's Point Of View
A/N: This chapter is sad. I won't say anymore. Let's go! Start reading.
NOTE: They don't transform in the fanfiction. I don't know why. Just I don't think the rest of the story would really work if the curse was still in play, so this takes place after the curse has been broken, I guess. I just don't think the rest of the fic will work out if they can't hug.
" Hey, Kyou! Mind if I borrow one of your manga for English? I need it for reading time." I asked Kyou in the hallway. He looked at me and smiled.
" Of course you can." He said, searching in his bag for one. " Damn, the only one I have left is the one I need for reading. Wanna ask Uotani or Hanajima? Yuki might have a regular book." He offered.
" Why don't you ever call them Uo-Chan and Hana-Chan?" I asked, smiling at him.
" I'm not the type to call people 'Chan', I don't know. I think it fits cute people. Like, I'd call you Tohru-Chan. It fits you." He said, not making eye contact with me. I knew what he meant. That's just how Kyou compliments people. I don't know why he's usually embarassed by it. But I guess, that sort of thing makes him cute in a way too.
" You can call me that! I don't mind!" I said, full of confidence.
" Like I'd ever be caught dead." Kyou remarked. I took not insult from it. It was just how Kyou was.
" Look at her. Now she's sinking her fangs into Kyou too, after she already has Yuki."
" What a deciving bitch. How much does she think she can get away with before something bad really happens to her!"
" I know. What's so great about her anyway?"
" Hey, Tohru?" Kyou said, his voice full of concern.
" Yes Kyou?" I asked, still smiling.
" Mind staying close to me, Uotani and Hanajima today? Just to be safe, you know?" He warned, patting me on the head. " These jealous girls take things too personally and I don't want you getting hurt over anything stupid alright?" He said, his voice full of comfort and yet, stern. I wouldn't help but follow his instructions.
" Alright Kyou." I nodded.
Later that day before English, I headed to the library. I figured I didn't need Uo-Chan, Hana-Chan or Kyou to come along with me. After all, the library wasn't far away and not too many people went there during the lunch period. Though I did have a strange feeling that people were following me. It made me want to have Kyou or Hana or Uo with me. I ignored it and simply went to look for a book. I was roaming around through the romance novels.
" Mmm, this one sounds cute! I bet Hana would like it too. I wonder do they have another copy?" I asked myself, looking around the same section for the same title. " It doesn't look like they do, maybe I should ask the-"
" Tohru Honda?" A girl asked, tapping my shoulder.
" Oh? Yes, that's me. Can I help you with something?" I said, my voice shaking.
" What is the deal with you and Yuki?" Another girl asked.
" Yeah. You can't have him! He belongs to us!" The girl behind her asked. I looked at them, fear took over my face.
" What do you have against me?" I splurted out. " You don't own Yuki!" I shouted back, anger in my tone. Tears filled my eyes to the brim as the girls neared me. I felt a strong bash against the back of my neck and my eyes blanked out. The next thing I felt was me being slid across dirt. I tasted blood in my mouth and my head was pounding in pain. My arm felt limp and broken, my knees were scraped and trickling with blood. I felt another girl slam her shoes into my stomach. I coughed up blood, making my bruised jaw reek in pain. I yelped. My shirt was torn, as well as my skirt. I was in pain, I was hurt and I was helpless. Where was Yuki now? When I needed him the most?
" You're a bitch! You don't deserve Yuki!" The girl screamed as she slammed her fist on my face. I couldn't open my eyes, it hurt. Even if I could, tears were swelling in them. I whimpered, wanting them to just leave me. But I got a few more slaps and kicks before I heard a familiar voice.
" Get away from her!" A sweet voice that made me want to smile rang through my ears and a flash of orange zoomed by. I blacked out again as I felt myself being lifted from my possible deathbed and onto a familiar, warm back.
" You alright, Tohru?" A soothing voice asked as I fluttered my eyes open. My school clothes were off and I had on a familiar black shirt and a pair of old shorts. The smell of the shirt was so soothing, so comforting against my bruises and cuts. I smelled hot tea.
" K-Kyou?" I muttered, my throat was sore. I was in Kyou's room, it was nighttime. The moonlight melting from the window onto his bamboo floor. He was sitting in his desk, watching me.
" Don't talk, just stay quiet. Whisper if you have to say anything. Want some water? Does anywhere hurt?" He asked. He was so concerned about me. It was wonderful.
" My back, just a little bit." I said.
" I told you not to go anywhere without me. Silly girl. Then you went and got your ass kicked by some fan club girls" Kyou smiled, laying on the floor next to me. He brushed some of my bands asside.
" You didn't hurt any of them did you? I wouldn't want you getting suspended over me." I said, concerned on what happened after I blanked out.
" Nah, I just ran over, picked you up, glared at the girls and took you home." He explained.
" Where's Yuki?" I asked.
" I don't know. I don't know where Shigure is either. I carried you on my back, wrapped your wounds and changed your clothes. Don't worry, I didn't see anything...much. I only saw your bra, your stomach had a bad bruise on it, I'm sorry." Kyou blushed.
" It's alright, thank you for saving me." I nodded. I sighed. " Yuki wasn't there to protect me. But you were, Kyou. It makes me wonder what I'm doing. Why am I going out with Yuki? Did he say something or smile at me that made me weak? Kyou, I never told you I was going out with Yuki did I?" I asked, my eyes starting to fill up with tears again.
" No, you didn't. But I knew, I was there. I saw him ask you, but I didn't want to interfere."
" Is that why you ran home that day? Because you saw?" I sniffled.
" Yeah." Kyou said, turning away from me. " It's alright though." I leaned up and wrapped my arms around Kyou's shoulders, staining his shirt with my tears.
" It's not alright. It hurts, knowing people hate you because you like someone. People hate you, because that person wants to choose who they love in the world. People hate me for loving you and Yuki. People hate Hana and Uo for loving me. I am not a bad person, am I?" I cried.
" Tohru, don't say that. You're a very good person. I don't know what I'd do without you. Those people are bad people, for not realizing what a great person you are." Kyou smiled, kissing my hand.
" Thank you Kyou. You make me feel so much better." I smiled, blushing lightly. I laid back down on the futon and smiled up at him.
" Yeah, yeah so get some sleep alright! You can sleep in here. I don't want you moving around too much. If ya need something ask me. Don't be the heroine and try to get it yourself. I don't mind. And about when I kissed your hand, I was just caught in the moment...so, so don't take it the wrong way." He informed, blushing madly. I giggled. Kyou was the one that took care of me, took my hand when I was hurt, smiled at me when I was sad and laughed at me when I was feeling upset. Kyou, was the one I truly loved. My blushed at my confession and looked over on Kyou's table. He was almost done with his origami stars.
I watched Kyou as he went downstairs to get some more tea, I also heard the front door open. I wonder, if Yuki's home...
A/N: AWWW! But wait...the next chapter has more drama! I think Tohru was a bit out of character, Kyou might have been too. It's hard writing from Tohru's point of view so bare with me, it's the first time I ever did it! It'll be Kyou's point of view next time!!
