Chapter 4

Tohru followed after Kyo quietly knowing he didn't like having her around. Why had Akito chosen this source of punishment for her and Kyo? It just didn't make sense to Tohru? Her father had made her do worse things than this! Tohru shook her head slightly to clear her head of all her confused thoughts. Tohru starred at the back of Kyo's head as he strolled down the hall to somewhere, but she had no choice but to follow him because of Akito's orders. Cautiously Tohru opened her mouth to speak. "Kyo, where are you going?"

Without stopping or turning to acknowledge Tohru Kyo replied coldly. "Does that matter? Just shut up and stay out of my sight."

Tohru flinched at Kyo's bitterness towards her. She knew that his anger was bottled up towards Akito but since he couldn't take it out on him he was just going to take it out on her. Though in a weird way Tohru thought she deserved it because it was her fault that he was stuck dragging her around where ever he went. Kyo went into the kitchen and started to make himself something simple to eat. Tohru realized at that moment that she was hungry. When Kyo, Yuki, and Hatori brought her lunch she had knocked it over accidentally. Tohru starred around the kitchen not sure if she was allowed to touch anything without permission. A long sigh escaped her lips as she watched Kyo eat the quick and simple he had made in a matter of minutes.

Tohru noticed suddenly that Kyo was glaring at her while eating his sandwich quietly. Uneasiness ran throughout Tohru's body not appreciating Kyo's rudeness. Her gaze dropped to the floor as she waited patiently for Kyo to finish his food.

"I know that you're hungry." Kyo's bitter voice broke the silence.

Tohru gulped as Kyo seemingly read her mind a bit too easily.

Kyo sighed. "Make yourself something to eat. I sure in the hell ain't stopping you."

A small smile spread onto Tohru's lips as she grabbed two slices of bread and a few slices of meat and made herself a simple sandwich as Kyo had done. She bit down into the sandwich and savoring the taste as if she wouldn't have another meal again. "Thank you." Tohru said softly.

Kyo looked at her for a minute out of the corner of his eye as he finished the rest of his sandwich. Tohru did the same quickly not wanting to waste Kyo's time. Once Tohru was done eating Kyo headed back down the hallway towards his room. Tohru followed after him quietly. When they reached Kyo's room he opened the door and let Tohru in before he closed the door behind him. Kyo flopped down onto his bed and sighed in satisfaction. Tohru scanned the bedroom taking in the things that surrounded her. Tohru's gaze landed on the windows that were shut. Tohru walked over to them and pushed aside the curtain as she gazed out side to gasp in amazement. Tohru watched as they passed over trees and rivers with ease. Clouds with their foggy texture clouded the window as well.

Kyo watched as Tohru gazed out the window in amazement as she took in everything she saw. "You act like you haven't seen any of that before." He said calmly.

Tohru took her eyes away from the window to look at Kyo. "That's because I haven't." She replied calmly with a hint of sadness in her voice.

Kyo looked at her confused. "How could you not have seen a forest or a river at least once in your life? Don't you go outside?"

A sad smile appeared on Tohru's lips as she spoke. "Well after my mom died when I was eight I was never allowed to go outside of the mansion. My father despised me and did everything he could to make me miserable. He knew how much I loved to go outside and play so that was the first thing he took away from me." She replied.

Kyo just starred at Tohru in disbelief. "Your telling me that you haven't been outside of that mansion for the past... what... eight years!"

Tohru nodded her head slowly. "You know it just kind of struck me. I'm glad you and Yuki kidnapped me because now I don't have to be stuck in there my whole life." Tohru bowed her head as she continued. "But now I'm going to probably make your life miserable by me just being around you. It's funny really that I get some kind of freedom now, but in the process I end up hurting someone else."

Kyo looked away from Tohru as he replied. "As long as you listen to me I'll be okay."

Tohru nodded her head in understandment.

"I'm warning you right now. Don't get too close to me because the only outcome will be you getting hurt." Kyo warned seriously.

Tohru looked at Kyo for a moment before she replied calmly, but not quit sure how to reply. "I... won't."

At that moment Kyo's bedroom door was thrust open a blonde headed boy with brown eyes and wearing a pink shirt and white shorts bounced into the room. The young boy automatically threw his arms around Tohru knocking her to ground with the blonde headed boy falling onto up of her. The young blonde headed boy sat up and stared down at the young woman he had tackled without warning.

"Momiji!" What are you doing in my room? Have you ever heard of knocking before you enter?" Kyo yelled furiously at Momiji's rude entrance.

Momiji looked up at Kyo and smiled before he scampered to his feet and latched himself onto Kyo hugging him tightly. "Kyokyo!" He said cheerfully.

Tohru sat up rubbing her head as she looked at Momiji who at the moment was trying to be pried off of by a very irritated Kyo.

"Get off me you little brat! You're worse than Hiro." Kyo stated annoyed with Momiji's show of affection.

"Kyo, who is this?" Tohru asked confused starring at the young boy.

Kyo turned to face Tohru once he had finally gotten Momiji off of him. "This is Momiji Sohma. He's just a bit on the femine side and is very affectionate, but other than that he is an annoying little twerp." Kyo explained to Tohru with a shrug.

Momiji turned to look at Tohru and smiled brightly. "You're the new girl, Tohru Honda, right?" He asked sweetly.

Tohru nodded as she spoke. "Yes, I am. Nice to meet you Momiji Sohma." Tohru curtsied politely.

Momiji's smile brightened as he bowed back in response. "Same here, Miss Tohru."

Kyo rolled his eyes at the two's formality. "Will you both stop. That formality crap is really annoying. I don't want to see you do it again, Tohru."

Tohru's eyes flashed with shock before she replied. "Okay."

"You said ii yo in Eigo, right?" Momiji cut in calmly looking questioningly at Tohru.

Tohru turned her gaze to Momiji. "I said what in my language?" Tohru said confused by Momiji's question.

Kyo shook his head. "Momiji you should know she doesn't know Nihongo."

Momiji frowned a minute in thought. "Oh, I thought she did."

Kyo looked at Tohru and answered Tohru's question for Momiji. "He just asked if you said, okay, in your language. Momiji's still learning Eigo, but he knows it pretty well by now." Kyo's attention was quickly snapped to Momiji after hearing what he was saying under his breath. Kyo grabbed Momiji by the front of his shirt and growled. "What did you say you little runt?"

Momiji starred wide eyed at Kyo. "You heard me!" He gasped.

Kyo shook him a few times. "Repeat to myself what you just said." Kyo demanded impatiently.

"I just said that I heard that Tohru has to be your servant and do everything you say and she can't leave your side or you can't be more than two feet away from each other." Momiji squeaked.

"You said something else." Kyo glared down at Momiji's innocent face.

Momiji jerked out of Kyo's grasp and ran to the door quickly to leave, but before he was about to leave he turned back and looked at Kyo cheerfully. "Now Kyokyo don't be mean to Tohru. She's nice unlike you." Momiji stuck out his tongue before he disappeared behind the door.

Kyo growled after him. "How many times do I have to tell him not to call me that?"

Tohru giggled which brought Kyo's fiery temper towards her. "That's a cute name, Kyokyo."

"Don't you dare start with that! Don't forget that you obey me." Kyo shot at Tohru wiping the grin from her face completely.

Tohru clenched her dress in her hands as she breathed in a deep breath of air. "Right. I'm sorry."

Kyo waved her off before he collapsed onto his bed and closed his eyes. "I'm going to bed."

Tohru stared at Kyo increadously before she opened her mouth to speak. "Where am I going to sleep?"

Kyo cracked open one of his eyes to look at Tohru before he threw one of his pillows at her. "On the floor where else." He replied calmly before closing his eyes again to drift into a deep sleep.

Tohru huffed loudly. "Sleep on the ground." She murmured irritated before she threw her pillow to the floor. Tohru sat on the floor and heaved a deep sigh. "I guess I've had worst before." She told herself sadly before she lied down on the floor and soon drifted off into sleep.
