Hey hers another chapter. It took a while to organize the ideas so sry. I dont own anythng. Never will. thanks for reading.I know it seems a bit focused on Kyo but the story is about him .but ill try to fit in other ppl points of view 2.
Kyo had been working at the hospital for a month now. He had made friends with every male member of the staff and half of the female staff. He went out with them whenever he had a bit of spare time. Which was not often. If you saw him you would think he was a totally different person. He was carefree and funny. He no longer worried about the curse. He had friends and he didn't need his stupid family. He was a bit worried that nobody said anything. Well he was the reject. Why would they worry about him? He spent to many nights worrying why they didn't care. Even if he didn't show it, it still hurt. He wanted to belong, to be accepted. Yet he knew some things could never happen. He was a bit suspicious of Tohru tough. Since last week she'd been acting strange. Whenever he came home a bit tired she would always excuse him from dinner or yell at Yuki if he tried to start anything. He was worried that perhaps she knew so finally he decided to trust her.
Flash Back
"Thoru, I need to talk to you. I want to trust you with something. And I want you to promise not to tell anybody."
"Of course Kyo. You can tell me anything. You know that."
"Well ok. I don't suppose you've noticed my prolonged absence around the house. Well if you haven't your not the only one. But that's not what I want to tell you. Well you see. I got a job. It's at this hospital by the school. Well I just tough you should know since you seem to be in everyone's business."
"I was waiting to see how long it took you to tell me. Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not at all surprised. I already knew Kyo. The question here is if you want to tell the family?"
"No I don't intent to tell them anything. I don't want them to know. How did you find out? Am I not hiding it well enough?"
"Don't worry. You are hiding great but I found your uniform in you laundry basket."
"But I do my own laundry. I have for a while now."
"NO!, I found it a while back, Then I made some phone calls and everything clicked. I'm glad you told me tough. You can be sure that if they find out it will not be from me."
"Thank you."
"What are friends for right?"
End Flashback
So that's how Tohru found out. Now that she knew she helped cover for him when the family asked questions. Which was not often. It surprised Tohru how careless they were. Did they really not care what happened to Kyo? Well there was no time for that. There were three days left of school until vacation and on thins beautiful Saturday morning Kyo had the day off. He was off to buy a car. He finally saved enough money and with a great bit of advice from Shiro, one of his friends from work, he had called in after a 1997 Honda Civic. He had gotten it cheap and took it to a mechanic to fancy it up. He wanted a CD/radio. He wanted speakers in the back and had it repainted a dark red. He had picked it up today. He had parked in front of a small café and began to walk down the street and saw some friends from work. He walked happily over to then and started talking. He soon sat down and they were discussing how horrible the boss at work was. He was so wound up in the conversation he didn't even notice Shigure, Yuki and Tohru walking on the other side of the street. When Tohru saw him she ran across the street to them. Tohru sometimes came to the hospital to pick him up and they sometimes walked home together when their shifts ended at the same time. This way Tohru became good friends with the receptionist and some of the guys at the hospital. Tohru hugged with Mina and sat down. Kyo just smiled and they continued their talk.
Shigure POV
'What the hell is going on?' All I could do is stare dumbfounded along with Yuki. We had never seen Kyo this carefree and had never seen Tohru so bold. She was making jokes and flirting with the guys. Kyo didn't seem troubled at all by this and just continued talking.
"Um, did I miss something?" I asked Yuki.
"Well I'm not really sure. But if you did I did too." He replied with a baffled look on his face.
I noticed that unlike me he was staring at Kyo. I was shocked that Kyo did not notice us. He was laughing and acting like a regular teen, free of any worries. Now that I tough about it, Kyo was hardly around. He was always not home and when he was he looked exhausted and sleepy. And Tohru seemed to always know why because she always told us to keep it down and things like that. I decided I needed to think his over so I grabbed Yuki by the elbow and made my way home.
Normal POV
After about 5 minutes after Tohru came Kyo noticed that it was getting late so he and said good-bye and him and Tohru made there way to the car. Since he had a car it took him only five minutes to get home while it took Shiure and Yuki 30 minutes to walk. When Shigure and Yuki got home dinner was already on the table and Tohru was finishing cleaning up. Surprisingly Kyo was helping her and they didn't even notice the door open they were laughing so hard. Kyo was clutching his stomach while Tohru was wiping tears from her eyes. Yuki cleared his trough loudly and they both immediately stopped. They looked at each other and smiled. Tohru seemed to be trying so hard not to laugh.
"Hey Kyo. Feeling bold?" she asked a look of mischief on her face.
"Don't you dare"?
Kyo POV
I couildent belive Tohru was going to actually say what we were talking about. Actually we both knew about Shigure and Hatori. We were only discussing possible wedding ensembles and who should wear the tux and who should wear the dress. Them somehow Yuki and Haru came in the picture and we started to imagine them in dresses and girl clothing. Ever since Tohru found out about some of my secrets I found out about some of hers. She was now acting different around me. She was more bold and feisty while I was being friendlier. I still didn't tell her I knew about her and Haru but I planed to soon enough. But all that mattered now was that she was going to blab something to Yuki and Shigure that I didn't want them to know. There were too main reasons why I didn't want her to say anything.
1) They had no business knowing anything I did not wish to share with them. I told Shigure about my sister because I wanted him to know. If I wanted him to know anything else I would have told him about it along time ago.
2) I suspected someone in the family was a spy for Akito. I wasn't sure whom but I was positive it wasn't Tohru or myself. Other then that I was afraid the spy was among us and I didn't want Akito to know anything that he could use against me.
I waited patiently for her to say something but she seemed to hesitate. I think she was thinking the same thing I was because she just looked at me and then turned back to washing the dishes. I then walked up to her and whispered ' Yuki: halter top and mini skirt' so only she could her. She then burst out laughing and so did I. I finished drying the dishes and then sat myself down to eat dinner. Tohru and me kept glancing at each other and giggling until finally Shigure spoke up.
"My sharing the joke? I think we would like to laugh to. My god you act as if you just saw one of us in a bikini or something." He had no idea how right he was.
"How come we never thought of that one?" Tohru says to me. Then we both bust out laughing again.
"Oh so is that why the two of your were laughing? You saw one of us in a bikini? Was it Yuki?"
"Well not exactly but you are very close." I say. At this Shigure bursts into laughter too.
After the hysterics finally subside we all turn to look at Yuki who was now in a mix between rage and embarrassment. I knew he was blushing but I wasn't sure why. I had to admit he looked kind of cute all red and embarrassed. Tohru must have noticed I was staring cause she nudged me and said in my ear
"Staring is rude. Did you know?"
"Can you please excuse me and Tohru for a second?"
I didn't even wait for her answer because I grabbed her elbow and pulled her into the kitchen slamming the door behind me.
Normal POV
Shigure and Yuki we wondering what that was about until the shouts started coming. It was obvious it was coming from both sides and were both wondering what Tohru had whispered in Kyo's ear to make him go crazy. He had been so quiet lately it almost seemed strange. Then they hear a loud scream and glass being shattered. Then everything went quiet.
In the Kitchen
Kyo had just pulled Tohru into the kitchen and slammed the door.
"What the hell was that?" asks Kyo.
"Oh please Kyo. It is so obvious that you like Yuki ok? Well ok maybe it isn't but I know you do so don't deny it."
"What makes you think you know everything, miss 'oh-I'll-just-go-out-with-Haru-and-not-tell-anybody?"
"What the hell is your problem? Who the hell do you think you are coming here and thinking you know everything?"
By this point they were both shouting. Tohru picked up a vase and threw it at him. He ducked and then picked up a plate and threw it at her while shouting back.
"Maybe because I do. Ok I didn't want this? Knowing what is going to happen before it does. Invading peoples privacy without wanting to?"
Suddenly Tohru dropped the glass she was about to throw and looked at him funny.
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, just forget it."
"I'm sorry. Kyo what's wrong?"
"I promise to tell you later ok? I can't talk about it now"
"Ok. Let's get back to dinner. We'll clean this up later."
They walked out of the kitchen to see Shigure and Yuki's shocked faces. They were also holding each other. Tohru had had her hand around Kyo's waist and he has his around her shoulder. They both looked a bit relived and dazed out. They let go of each other and sat back down.
"Care to explain what happened?" asked Shigure in a authoritative voice.
"No, not realy." replied Kyo.
"We umm, just dropped some things, that's all," answered Tohru in the same tone as Kyo.
It was obvious they did not want to discuss the subject of their fight. Then Tohru reached and touched Kyo's hand. Suddenly he felt the pounding in his head and the flashing images came again. It had been a long time since he had gotten a headache this bad. Wow it was really killing him. He gripped his head and pulled away from Tohru. What he had seen made him shudder inside and out. It was Tohru holding Haru's body. He was lifeless. She was crying. Akito was standing over them smiling happily. He then reached over and placed his hand on top of Tohurs. The vision came again and this time he saw more. The black car that had been following her and Haru. The pictures of them together and finally the event that ruined it all. They were going to get caught tonight when they went out to dinner. He then calmly took his hand off of hers and then excused him self to his room. He made his way up the stairs and when he looked next to him there was Tohru opening the door for him. He smiled and entered. Then he put his fingers to his lips so she can keep quiet. With that he collapsed on to the floor. Fighting the urge to scream Tohru ran to him and slapped him softly across the face. He opened his eyes and got up. He walked over to his desk opened a drawer and took out a bottle of orange pills. He took one and then placed the bottle back.
"What just happened?"
Kyo POV
' I wasn't sure if I should tell her or not. I had told her so much so far. But I knew deep inside that I could tell her anything. I took a deep breath and began to tell her. Everything. She was sitting on my bed and I was in my desk chair across from her. She was listening intently and nodding occasionally. I was shocked at how composed I sounded. I was shaking with fear. This information probably made me sound like and even bigger freak then I already was. When I stopped talking she looked at me. She smiled and began talking.
"Wow, Kyo. I am truly sorry to hear about your sister. I can see by the look in your eyes when you talk about her how much you love her. I never knew Akito would do something like that. But then again I'm not surprised. I wouldn't put it past him. I for one am more than glad that you are the protector of our family."
"There's something else. I think that some one in the family is a spy for Akito. I fear that this person if feeding him information about our secrets. Oh and by the way. Don't go anywhere with Haru today. If will only lead to danger. Invite him over and we can watch a movie. I doubt it's him but it doesn't hurt to check. Also I can vouch if you guys are caught making out. I can say I dared you or something. That way you are safe."
"Like I said, I am glad you are the one protecting all of us. And I also think we should tell Haru about your, "
We both went downstairs and Tohru called Haru. He arrived almost immediately after the call. We talked in my room for a while and soon came to the conclusion that Haru was in fact not the spy. I then explained everything that I had to Tohru earlier, taking out some details he didn't need to know.
"Oh so you like have magic?" He asks with wonder.
"Umm, not exactly. More like I have a problem with my brain. It's even been medically proven"
"Oh," he looks a bit down but then lights up again.
He agreed to help us find the spy and I soon came up with a great plan. We would play a simple elimination game whenever we were in the presence of our family members. We would make as sound to get the attention of the other two and then glance at the suspect. Then the other people inconspicuously ether nod yes or no. If we got caught we took turns denying. Two people would admit to playing a game of truth or dare while one person denied like there was no tomorrow. This way we would not get caught. We decided to do it today with Yuki and Shigure.
One Hour Later
Kyo caughs and glances at Yuki. Haru nods yes. Tohru shrugs. Then Haru sneezes and glances at Yuki. I nod yes. Tohru shrugs again. Then she 'accidentally' spills her tea and looks at Shigure. Haru and I both nod no. We all then hastily excuse ourselves to the kitchen.
"Ok, Tohru make some snacks so we have and excuse so be in here. Ok so we have two votes for Yuki and none for Shigure."
"No. One for Shigure. He may not have spilled on himself but maybe he was telling about the others. Then someone decided to cut him short and rat on him. Ok and make it three for Yuki."
Haru and I just looked at each other. Tohru was making a lot of sense.
"No offence but Yuki is a rat. And what to rats do they rat out people. So I have to say Yuki," I say as I glance at the ground.
"Wait don't you like Yuki?"
At this moment I want to kill Tohru. She looks at me apologetically noticing that she wasn't supposed to share that info. Haru reassures me that he won't tell as soul. Then I notice we still have a lot to discuss and we've been in here a while. Tohru is still preparing snacks so I do the only logical thing I can. I grab a bowl and smash it on the floor. Then I look at Haru expectantly. He immediately catches on and starts yelling about how clumsy I am. This only buys us a bit more time so we continue talking about more suspects. I warn Tohru and Haru to not do anything and apologize but I have to sit between them. We don't want the spy to catch anything. I also warn them about the car following them. We them make a hasty exit and sat down on the couch.
"What took you so long?" asks Yuki.
"Kyo the idiot had to spill the bowl, so Tohru had to make another one," Haru tried to go with the plan.
"What do you expect? He is the dumb cat anyway," Yuki says this because he knows it will hurt me. I try to get up to attack him but Haru pulls me down. I nod and then decide to go upstairs. I get up and begin to walk away.
"Don't walk away. I never knew you were a coward Kyo."
"If that is what you want to think then go ahead. I just realized you aren't worth any of this."
He then lunged at me and I easy dodged him. I grabbed him by the collar of the shirt and threw him against the wall.
"Just stop it. Don't you get that I don't care anymore. I don't care about the deal with Akito or that you are better them me, because you aren't. You never where and never will be. It took me this long to realize that and you can't change my mind."
I should have just dropped him and walked away but instead I just held him there. He then did something I regret. He placed his hand on top of mine. The pain was so intense I dropped him on the spot. He fell ungracefully on the floor. His head shot up and he looked at me. I just walked away going slowly up the stairs. Tohru soon followed and then Haru.
Normal POV
Shigure went up to Yuki and hoisted him to his feet. Then they heard the door to Kyo's room being slammed shut. When Kyo got to his room he almost ran to his desk drawer. He threw it open and grabbed all the containers. On his desk appeared two prescription bottles and a bottle of Tylenol. He looked at the one with orange pills but then Tohru grabbed it from him and placed it back. He took out a white pill and two Tylenol.
"Kyo is that a good idea?" Tohru asks as she sees him take the three pills and swallow them with the water Tohru just passed him.
"Don't worry. I take them like this every day," Kyo replies with a reassuring smile.
Haru looks confused so Tohru begins to explain about the side effect of Kyo's visions. He nods his head and looks at Kyo with a look of sympathy.
It then hits Kyo like a ton of bricks. What he saw in the vision. It was him and Yuki. They were doing things he rather not have seen them doing. He then feels himself go red. Tohru looks at his red face and begins to put the pieces together.
"Oh my! Haru, do you know why he's blushing? It's because when he has a vision he usually sees the person he's touching. In this case Yuki. And he would only blush if it were something, I don't know 'personal'.
"So he must have seen himself doing something inappropriate with Yuki."
Kyo POV
I just wanted to punch Haru. Tohru must have noticed my line of thinking because she grabbed him and left the room. I threw myself on the bed and took out my notebook. I was glad to finally have something interesting to put in it. Two major events happened today. Well not major but still important. I wrote down the vision of Tohru I had earlier then the incident with Yuki. When I finished I placed the notebook back under my pillow and went to sleep.
Yuki POV
I couldn't believe what had happened today. The way Kyo had grabbed me felt so weird. I was usually the one with the upper hand. Why was he suddenly winning? Because he didn't care anymore. I knew that something had changed. I noticed it every day. He was hardly ever home anymore. When he was around he seems exhausted. I couldn't come up with an explanation. I don't' care. Yea right. Who am I kidding? The only reason why I noticed these things about Kyo was because I cared. I didn't like not knowing what is going on. He was usually so predictable but now he was like a different person. I was so shoked today when I saw him so carefree with those people. Who exactly where they? And Tohru knew them too. Him and Tohru have been getting along better lately. And another thing I noticed. This one scared me the most. He seemed to know a lot more then he let on. He knew things that others didn't. I fell asleep will questions flooding through my mind.
