A/N: Let the Kyou torment begin L Yes, I think I'm gonna start tormenting Kyou slowly. Mainly b/c I'm evil, and I love Kagura. L
Before I forget, I'm gonna be changing the title from Suppression to Repression. I just realized that, Repression is the correct psychological term sigh I'm such a baka
Chapter 5
Three Weeks Later:
(Kagura)
I knocked on the door and heard arguing inside about whose turn it was to open the door. Finally Kyou opened the door.
"Hi-hi."
"Why are you here?" he asked not so politely.
I smiled, "Nice to see you too. I'm here to see Tohru."
He stood aside to let me in and said, "She's not home right now."
"Do you know when she'll be back?" I asked, "Yun-kun, Shi-san."
"Don't know," Kyou said and sat on the couch.
"Later this evening. I think she's doing something with her friends," Yuki said.
"Why do you want to talk to Tohru? Can we help?" Shigure asked.
"Nope," I said, "it's a girl thing."
Shigure perked up immediately, "Ooooh! A girl thing? I can help you. Tell me what it is."
"No."
"Why not?" he asked and eyed me, "are you blushing?"
I did feel warm and turned away, "Am not."
He tried to get in front of me, "Is too. I got more life experience than Tohru and if I must say, I do understand girls quite well. And being a guy, I naturally understand guys too, so if you got a problem you can tell Shigure-niisan."
"But you're untrustworthy. I'll wait for her in her room," I said and ran upstairs but could resist adding, "and Shi-san, you're really more of an ojiisan than an oniisan."
.
(Tohru)
"Tadaima!"
"Okaerinasai," Yuki said, "Kagura's waiting for you upstairs."
"Is something wrong?" I asked worriedly.
"Doubt it," Shigure said.
"Ok, I'll cook supper right after I talk to Kagura," I said and quickly ran upstairs.
I opened the door to see Kagura sitting at the desk looking zoned out, "Kagura-san?"
She looked up, "Tohru-chan, you're back!"
"Is something wrong?" I asked closing the door.
Kagura shook her head, "No. I need to talk to someone and it's not a good idea to talk to Rin about this considering her current condition, Kisa's too young, and my friends are way too nosy and huge blabber mouths."
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
"In a moment," she said and went to open the door.
Shigure fell in with a cup in his left hand and phone in his right, "Hi…"
Kagura took the phone, "Bye Ayame."
She looked at Shigure expectantly. Shigure smiled, "I'll leave you two alone so you can have some peace. Bye."
Kagura sighed and closed the door, then took a deep breath, "I got a date."
"With who?!"
"A guy at school…" she said and smiled, "but it's my first date so…"
"So?"
"I need some advice…or at least someone to talk with. Like what if he tries to hug me or something?" Kagura said.
'Advice…advice? But I've never been on a date either…'
.
Tomorrow:
(Kyou)
I looked at the grocery list, 'Shigure's so lazy. It's his turn to buy the groceries, but he dumps it on me.'
I watched as a girl from across the street ducked behind a car. I followed her gaze to see what she was spying on, 'Kagura?'
Kagura was walking with a boy with brown hair and blond highlights. He was dressed quite preppy with this blue shirt and white pants. I crossed the street and tapped the girl. She yelped but quickly covered her mouth and hissed, "Who are you?"
"I should be asking you that. Why are you following my cousin?"
"Your cousin, Ken?"
"No. Kagura."
She turned her attention back to Kagura and them, "Cause I'm her friend. I got to make sure she does well on this date."
"Date?!"
She covered my mouth, "Hush. We can't be discovered, do you understand? What's your name?"
'Date?!' I slapped away her hand, "Sohma Kyou."
"I'm Ikina Eriko," she said and pulled me to the alley.
"Who's the guy?" I asked.
"Hirose Kentaro," she said, "he's been chasing her since high school."
"A violent person like her got an admirer?"
"What are you talking about? She never even raises her voice and she's very popular at school. In high school with the girls, well we were at an all girl school, so I guess she could only be popular with the girls. And now she's got quite a few admires," Eriko said, "oooooh, they went into the restaurant. Let's go across the street into the café."
'Right…she's only violent to me…'
Eriko dragged me across the street, "We'll keep watch here and hope they don't go out back."
"How did they meet?" I asked.
"It was some odd story," she said pulling me inside the café, "something along the lines of him going truffle hunting for a scavenger hunt. He found some and was attacked by wild boars, but Kagura came and saved him. Something unbelievable like that, the main point was she saved him."
'She probably caused the boar gathering.'
"You and Kagura close? She doesn't talk about her family much," Eriko said.
'Close?' I thought, "not really…"
"Guess you wouldn't know about the guy she has a crush on then, huh?" she asked.
"Guy she has a crush on…"
"Yeah, this do'aho. She had a crush on him for the longest time, and refused lots of guys for him. I'm glad Ken's persistence paid off," Eriko said, "go get me a latte."
"Go get it yourself."
"I got to keep watch and I told you all that stuff about Kagura-chan," she said, "now go."
"Don't talk to me like I'm a dog."
She waved me off, "Whatever. Just go."
Later that evening:
I opened the door exhausted, who knew following someone for an afternoon would be so exhausting.
"About time you got back," Shigure said, "took you long enough."
I ignored him.
He looked around, "Where's the groceries?"
'Crap! I forgot about that…'
"Hello…Kyou…" Shigure said waving his hand in front of my face.
"Do your chores yourself," I said.
"Then you shouldn't agree to doing it baka neko. What are we going to eat now?" Yuki asked.
I glared at him, "Who are you calling a baka neko?"
"You."
I attacked. He blocked.
