Tohru was waiting for him when he got home, and Kyo knew he was in trouble.
"Where have you been?" Tohru asked as calmly as possible. Kyo, still in the
process of taking his shoes off didn't even look up at her. "Don't worry; I
didn't kill the damn rat yet..."
Tohru would have laughed at this except she was hit with the sudden and speech impeding realization that her daughter was not with Kyo. "Where is Chikara!!" she screamed frantically. Kyo looked up at her with a smile but it soon wiped off his face when he saw the pale faced terror in her eyes.
"Don't worry!" he tried to comfort while grabbing her arm and pressing it to his body, "I would never leave her anywhere. She is at Shigure's house so we can have our chat with Yuki..." Before he had a chance to react to anything, Tohru collapsed to the floor and sat there.
Kyo knelt down to her and pressed his forehead to hers, looking her in the eyes. "Sweetie, calm down." He was really starting to worry about her. She didn't just lapse into panic attacks every day. He softened his voice and tried again. "I'm sorry, calm down....I love you.....calm down..."
"I'm so so so sorry Kyo....I'm so stupid...." "Hush, just....." Not knowing what to do, Kyo touched her face with the tips of his fingers and wiped away her forming tears, then kissed her softly. "I'm sorry about this Yuki thing...we...don't have to do this..." he stammered out.
Tohru looked up at him, a faint smile on her face. "No, if we don't you will make a fuss for forever!" The smile grew on her face and a slight scowl set upon Kyo's. "What's that supposed ta mean?" "Nothing!" The old Tohru was back.
Tohru tapped lightly on the front door to Yuki's small but elegant house. After seeing a faint wisp of a nearby curtain, the door opened and Tohru faced the handsome man. "Hello Sohma-kun. I was wondering if...." POW, the wood panel on the side of the doorway cracked and shattered with Kyo's punch, right beside Yuki's head.
Without so much as a twitch, Yuki smiled at Tohru. "Ah, I understand Miss Honda." Kyo looked as though he was going to pop a vein. "It's Mrs. Sohma, jackass!" After a quick, frightful glance at Kyo, Tohru turned toward Yuki once again. "Thank you."
The three of them stepped into the front yard, past the garden and the hell commenced. Tohru had never seen two grown men act in the way Yuki and Kyo did. It was like high school all over. Kyo would yell a few profound words while Yuki would calmly stand there with his arms crossed.
"I understand that you are angry stupid cat, but get a grip." This was the last straw for Kyo. "Look here asshole; you don't kiss people's wives! She's mine goddammit, she chose me and she never regrets it!" The first punch was thrown, only to Tohru's surprise it was Yuki who threw it.
Kyo quickly go up and hit Yuki in the eye. This made both Yuki and Tohru gasp. Kyo got a hit in! For the first time in all of his life Kyo got a hit in on Yuki Sohma and not on accident like on the way to New Years when the two boys bumped heads. That doesn't count.
It didn't take long for the old way to come back. Yuki pounded Kyo into the ground until he was left curled up and bleeding. Tohru stepped out of Yuki's house with some hot tea for them all but dropped the tray and rushed toward Kyo.
"Kyo! Kyo are you ok! Here, lie down, let me see..." Tears were welling up in her eyes. She had never seen Kyo so badly beaten. She rolled him over and looked at his injuries. To her relief the only thing bleeding was his nose, but he was still out of breath and bruised all over.
Tohru wiped the blood from below the neko's nose and kissed his lips very gently. "I thought you were..." Tohru kissed him again and laid her head on his chest. "Thank goodness you are ok!" Standing a few yards away from the couple, fists clenched. He wanted to turn away but couldn't. He was supposed to be the one Tohru cared about and worried over...the one she kissed every day. He was obviously better then the stupid cat so why?
"Why!?" he yelled before he could stop himself, "Miss Honda, I can't stand it! He doesn't deserve you!" Yuki dropped to his knees and put one hand over his black and swelling eye. "I want your love more then anything..."
"Shut up..." Kyo groaned, "Tohru....lets go home." He tried to stand up and almost succeeded but collapsed just as he was on his feet. He wasn't going anywhere. Tohru looked at Yuki pleadingly. "Sohma-kun, can we stay here with you tonight. Then we can talk..."
Tohru would have laughed at this except she was hit with the sudden and speech impeding realization that her daughter was not with Kyo. "Where is Chikara!!" she screamed frantically. Kyo looked up at her with a smile but it soon wiped off his face when he saw the pale faced terror in her eyes.
