Chapter 8: I Should Tell Him!
Tohru's Point Of View
A/N: WHOA! Who knew I had so many gruesome Yuki haters. You all are so creative! Maybe we should do ONE big group Yuki slotter! Alot of you people had baseball bats, machine guns, snipers, I think one of you had a water gun to make Yuki look like he wet his pants! You all are so funny! I love you all!! I actually hated Yuki from the beginning, sometimes I think Yuki wants to rape Tohru, have you ever actually listened to the way he talks to her. "Hello Ms. Honda..." It's like "Hello Clarice..." from the Cannibal movies or something. I think Yuki is insane. Anyway, this chapter focuses on how Tohru feels about Kyou. AWWW! Remember, I suck at writing Tohru's Point Of View. Bare with me! Plus, I have Anime Expo 2004 in 6 days and I'm all excited and I can't focus on anything. eye twitches
I woke up in Kyou's bed that morning, my hair all ragged and tangled from the nice sleep I had last night. Kyou's bed was so comfortable! It smelled nice too. I looked around to see if anybody would walk by and I cuddled up with his pillow. Plus, I was wearing his clothes, his infamous black shirt and a pair of old pajama shorts. I blushed, realizing how a bit excessive I was going. I didn't have a crush on Kyou! I liked Yuki, Yuki was my boyfriend! I filled my head with determined thoughts and made my mind think what I wanted it to think, not what I felt. I sighed, lightly touching the hand Kyou kissed last night. I blushed again.
" Tohru! You might want to start getting ready for school." Kyou said, walking into the room. He didn't make eye contact with me at all.
" Oh, yeah!" I exclaimed, rushing out of his bed.
" Unless, you don't feel up to it because of your injuries and all." He said, his back facing me in the doorway.
" Oh, I'm fine!"
" Gonna tell Hanajima and Uotani what happened with the fangirls?" He asked, his voice more serious.
" Yeah, I want to so they can look out for me." I nodded, smiling at him, even though he wasn't looking at me.
" I'm leaving early. See you at school. You can put my clothes on my bed when you're done with them." He said, his voice lightening up a little, but still serious. I nodded and went to my room to change into my uniform. I left my hair down, so Hana-Chan could braid it today during lunch and then I could take it out later and my hair would be wavy. I wanted to look cute for Kyou, I MEAN, Yuki! Yuki, Yuki, Yuki! I pounded into my mind. I took a deep breath and changed into my uniform quickly so I wouldn't be late. I walked down the stairs and saw Shigure sitting at the table with Hiro and Kisa.
" Ah! Good Morning Tohru, Hiro and Kisa came by to pay you a visit. They're middle school has the day off today because all the teachers are at a teaching convention." Shigure smiled. (A/N: twitch CONVENTION!? Where!? Okay, sorry...)
" Yeah, so we were hoping we could do something fun before you went to school like get ice cream or something. You have money don't you? You SHOULD have money, right? You're a senior now in high school, aren't you?" Hiro said. I guess he didn't really change much.
" Hiro..." Kisa sighed. " But do you mind Tohru?" Kisa smiled.
" Of course not! I still have half an hour. I guess Kyou and Yuki left early." I sighed. " Ice cream sounds fun! Let's go then!" I smiled as Kisa took my hand and we started to leave.
" So how is it going Tohru? I haven't talked to you in a while." Kisa smiled.
" It's going good. I guess I'm stuck in a predicament at the moment." I confessed.
" What is it? Is it about you going out with Yuki?" Hiro asked, rolling his eyes. " Stupid girly problems."
" Hiro, that's not very nice." Kisa scolded mildly by talking Hiro's hand as well. Hiro's face turned red. I guess that was a bit of a punishment. I smiled at my thought.
" But yeah, that is what's going on-"
" Lemme guess, you love Kyou?" Hiro asked, grinning. I blushed and dropped my bag.
" W-What!? No! No, No, No, No! I don't love Kyou!" I panicked as I reached down to pick up my bag. How could Hiro know that? Well, like I always said before he is a very intelligent kid. Oh, but that shouldn't matter!
" You do love Kyou? Don't you sissy?" Kisa smiled.
" I don't understand, how can the both of you know that." I said, quite puzzled.
" It's obvious sissy. I see your problem now. You're going out with Yuki, but you really love Kyou. You must feel so troubled." Kisa shook her head. Hiro looked up at me.
" What you should do is do what you feel is right." Hiro started. " If you tell Kyou you love him, well, then, that's alright. He should know, he has to know. Right now, he must be feeling horrible knowing that you probably don't feel the same way, so if you tell him, it might fix all of your problems. And about Yuki, you are is his girlfriend which gives you the right to end the relationship either way. Stop with the modesty act and do something that could quite possibly change your future. Like I said before, do what you feel is right." Hiro finished. He turned around on one heel and continued his walk in front of Kisa and I who just looked at each other and smiled.
" You know what? I think you all deserve an ice cream cone! I'm treating!" I smiled, skipping ahead of the two. I guess needing to hear the truth would give me the amount of courage I needed to tell how I feel!
" Good morning everyone!" I smiled as I bounced into the classroom. Hiro and Kisa went back home after ice cream and I has to get to school fast!
" Whoa! Tohru, what's got you so happy this morning." Uo-Chan asked as I sat in the desk behind her.
" I just went for ice cream with Kisa and Hiro." I nodded as I started to calm now.
" You went to go get ice cream with those little brats. Well, not Kisa, she's sweet sometimes. But not Hiro. Little bastard." Kyou rolled his eyes, sitting on the desk to the left side of me.
" Oh! Good morning Kyou!" I smiled. Kyou looked towards the classroom door as it opened and Yuki came in. Kyou's eyed widened and he stood up and went to another desk on the other side of the room.
" You say you went for ice cream Tohru. What flavor did you get?" Hana-Chan asked. I looked up at her, still confused on what was going on with Kyou.
" Oh, I got strawberry and shared a chocolate with Kisa."
" That's like two ice cream cones! No wonder you came in here bursting with energy. Hey, what happened to your hand, and your legs. They're covered in bandages." Uo-Chan noticed.
" Ah! Well, yesterday I was on my way to the library to get a book for Hana-Chan and I and I got attacked by those fan club girls and they beat me up." I sighed, holding back my tears.
" What!?" Uo-Chan asked.
" Tohru! Why didn't you come tell us?" Hana-Chan said, sitting down next to me and patting me on the back.
" I was unconcious." I sniffled as I started to cry.
" Oh my god. Tohru..." Uo-Chan hugged me tightly along with Hana-Chan.
" It's because of Yuki. Isn't it?" Hana-Chan said quietly. " Tohru, I think you should stop dating Yuki. He has hundreds of fan girls in this school who aren't afraid to jump off a bridge to win his love." She said, patting my head. I wiped my tears on my sleeve.
" Hana-Chan, Uo-Chan, thank you." I smiled. " Hana-Chan, would you mind braiding my hair?"
" Of course." Hana-Chan smiled.
It seems like everybody around me is telling me to go out with Kyou, tell him how I feel. I want to, but I'm nervous. Any girl would be. I'm not for sure that Kyou loves me. But I know I do need to tell him. But how...
A/N: WHOO! Another chapter well and done. Okay. There probably will NOT be another chapter until after July 3rd when Expo is done and past. Then I can start writing Origami Koshi chapters wearing my Kyou Cat Ears Fleece Beanie! They're only 15 dollars at Expo and you can buy them at the FuniMation booth. Gods, I can't wait!!! So I'll come back with loads of Saiyuki, Yu Yu Hakusho, Boys Over Flowers, Gravitation and Fruits Basket merchandise. And maybe some InuYasha (I always buy something InuYasha at Expo...I don't even like it that much. I mean, I do but not obsessively and it's not one of my favorites) Okay, anywhoo!
