A love unspoken

Thank you all so much for your kind reviews. I didn't think my meager little story would get so much attention. You guys are the greatest. I'm sorry so many of you are confused. I will tell all in the next chapter.

CH.10: Gone (revised)
Tohru waited silently as Kureno tended to the bruises and cuts on her face. She felt so numb inside she couldn't even feel the pain. This was the last night she would ever spend here in the place where she dwelled for so long. In order for her memory and the memories of her friends and loved ones not to be erased, she made an agreement with Akito to leave and cut all ties with her former life. She could feel tears beginning to well up again in her eyes. What was she going to do? She couldn't even say goodbye. Would they ever know what happened to her?
The worst thing of all was that Kyo would think she abandoned him
She felt herself being drawn foreward into Kureno's embrace, and she sobbed silently against the junction between his neck and shoulder. "I'm sorry. I know I promised Shigure I wouldn't let him hurt you. But this is really for the best. Akito-sama always has everyones best interest at heart," Kureno said in a low voice.
Tohru wasn't really listening as she became still against him and sleep claimed her.
Kyo sat on the roof frowning. Something wasn't right. He could feel it. But he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
He hadn't seen Tohru all day. He was getting really worried. She didn't even leave breakfast for him and Yuki like she usually did. When Shigure came home, he practically tackled the poor man to the floor, bombarding him with questions of Tohru's well being. Shigure calmly told that she was at Hana-chan's, and would call them when she was ready to leave. He watched Shigure ascend the stairs slowly, as if he had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Kyo didn't believe him for one second.
He grabbed his jacket and dashed out the door, going to the only place he thought Tohru might be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kyo approached the Sohma compound, breathing heavily. He ran the whole way there, and was exhausted. His heart beat wildly with the exertion of running and trepidation.
He hoped he was wrong, that Tohru wasn't here. Because if she was, she would most likely be there alone, with Akito.............
He went up to the gate, and pressed the button. "Kureno!!!! Open up!" he yelled. He rang the buzzer repeatedly till Kureno came to the gate, opening it. As soon as it was opened, Kyo grabbed the collar of Kureno's shirt, and shoved him against the gate.
"Where is she, and I want to know now!"
Kyo was hoping to intimidate Kureno, but Akito had trained him well. He stared back at Kyo, his features schooled into a look of demureness. His face revealed no emotion.
Kyo sneered at him, and shoved him away in disgust. He couldn't stand Kureno. Such a sad excuse for a man.
Kureno straightened his collar, and said calmly "She is no longer here."
Kyo felt his heart speed up and his throat constricted. So she had been there. His suspicions were confirmed. "Kureno, please tell me where she is" he whispered.
"Akito-sama had her sent away. She is no longer your concernn
Kyo felt his whole world come crashing down. 'Away? What does that mean?' "You mean, she's gone?"
"Yes, and she will not be returning........". Kyou wasn't even listening to the words of the soft-spoken man. His throat was constricting, and tears began to blur his vision.
"You should be grateful Kyo. Akito-sama only did what he thought best. You and Honda-san shouldn't have lied to him. Besides, she would have left you sooner or later. An outsider dealing with the Sohma family can only take so much. Akito-sama saved you from the pain of her eventually leaving........"
"Shut up!!!" Kyou yelled. "What the h**** do you know!? You don't know a d*** thing about her!!!!" Tears were flowing freely down his cheeks, and Kureno's eyes widened at the outburst of emotion. He hadn't seen Kyo so upset except when his mother commited suicide.
Kyo couldn't stand being on the compound any longer. He hated his family, and Kureno disgusted him with his foolish loyalty to that maniac Akito. He shoved past Kureno, and ran, not caring where he was going.........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hatori watched everything from his office window. His heart was hurting for his young cousin. He should have done something, but he feared going against Akito's orders. He hit the wall with his fist, and rested his forehead against the window.
Hatori wasn't the only one who spied on Kyo and Kureno. Momji, Kisa, Hiro, and Haru were sitting against a wall by a door that led outside. They had heard the commotion and wanted to know what was going on. Haru held Momji as he cried and Hiro comforted Kisa. They were going to miss the kind young woman that had changed all their lives...........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Kyo finally stopped running, he found himself at his Shishou's dojo. This was the only place he could go. He was too angry and upset to go back to Shigure's house.
Shigure had lied to him about Tohru. He betrayed her, and Kyo will never forgive him for that. And to see Yuki's accusing eyes, blaming him for Tohru's being sent away......... He didn't think he could take it.
It was all so unreal. He never thought she would be gone from his life. He'll never see her sweet smile, taste her delicious cooking, hold her in his arms, kiss her sweet lips........... He'll never experience these things again.
He sat down on the steps of the dojo, cradling his head between his hands as tears leaked through his fingers.
