Chapter 6: Jealousy Awakens Within

At Recess

Kyo was always found shooting hoops at the basketball courts and usually he always made every shot. However, today he was not feeling very good and it all started because of that stupid conversation he had with Tohru over the Internet last night.

Tohru saw Kyo and decided to approach him with as much maturity as possible, knowing that Kyo would lash out at anyone that disturbed him during his 'moments'. "Kyo-kun?" Tohru replied.

He glared at her then gave her a softer look. "What is it that you want Tohru?"

"About last night on AIM..."

"Don't mind me...Just some cousin rivalry. Nothing to be alarmed." He reassured her.

"As long as you say so Kyo-kun..." she turned her back on him thinking that there was something much more behind this. Something that Kyo did not wish to tell her...not yet at least. Not watching where she was going she had bumped into Yuki-kun.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going! Please forgive me Yuki-kun!" Tohru pardoned.

"It's ok...Really," Yuki gave her a warm smile. A smile that Kyo would never be able to have...A smile that made her feel happy inside... And ever since last night's devastating conversation that's what Tohru needed to be: happy...

Tohru was about to walk around him until he stopped her. "May I please talk to you for a few seconds Miss Honda?"

"Why of course! I don't see why not," Yuki took her by the arm and dragged her into a place that nobody would see them.

"The past few days I was at this school were very easy for me...That is thanks to you, Miss Honda... you showed me around and I think I am in some sort of debt to you,"

"I was just being myself Yuki... there is no need to thank me,"

"But due to your kindness I must say that I have developed some sort of feelings toward you lately..."

"Oh?"

"Yes... I have to say Miss Honda, that... I..." Yuki gulped and started to sweat. This was the first time that Yuki had a crush on a girl. He had to make sure he said everything right because he wanted Tohru to be HIS and nobody else's. "I...like you," Yuki started to chuckle a nervous laugh and raced towards the little boy's room. He was extremely flushed.

Tohru on the other hand was extremely flattered but had to tell Yuki in class that she already had a boyfriend. And that her boyfriend was indeed Yuki's worst nightmare. Unfortunately for Tohru, Kyo had hid behind a corner listening to every heart-breaking word that rang like a funeral chime within his ears. Yuki had admitted his feelings for Tohru...And Tohru would dump Kyo like a bag of potatoes. "No," Kyo thought. He would not allow himself to cry during school hours especially when he had the reputation of the toughest boy in school. This time, he could not help himself. Kyo's body leaned against the wall as his back slid down the cold, hard, cement, head in his hands, crying...The tears fell down one by one... Moaning sounds would occasionally come out of his mouth. His eyes were shut tightly as he embraced the pain in his heart...Kyo stood up and slid his hands into his pockets and began to breath deeply. In...out...in...out... He looked up in the sky and silently asked, "Why...me???" He sniffed and stealthily snuck out of school grounds not wanting to deal with the teachers, dumb History class, Yuki, and Tohru...

After School...Night time...AIM...

Tohru blinked at the agonizing words that appeared on her computer screen. "Did he just dump me???"

Kyo's Room...

"No matter how much I hated it..." Kyo began to mumble. "I had to dump her first because I knew she would dump me anyways...Dump me for that damn Yuki... Why doesn't the world just declare him the ruler of the world?"

Kyo jumped on top of hs bed and cried tears of sorrow on his pillow allowing the pillow to get so damp he turned it over on the other side and began crying some more. "Heart break is so much...First Yuki comes to school, jealousy awakens within, and I've lost Tohru...for good..." Eventually after all this drama he had fallen asleep not caring about what the school would have to say to him when he came there tomorrow. Right now all he cared about was how to mend his heart back into one piece again.
