Getting You Back
Chapter 2: Answer
Kyo's breath stopped in his chest. What the hell did he just ask her?!?! His eyes narrowed into slits, glowering at the boy who DARED to hold Tohru's hand. But...I can't do anything if Tohru says—
"Yes!"
Kyo's eyes narrowed down in annoyance, and he cringed. Greaaat...she said what I thought she would. Always making others happy.
"R-really?!" Koiji's eyes widened in an adorable way that made Tohru's knees feel shaky.
"WAH!" She felt her knees buckle beneath her.
Koiji's knees bent, his arms wrapping around Tohru's waist to keep her from falling, "Tohru!!" Koiji caught her in an embrace, causing him to blush extremely.
"AHH!! I'M SORRY! I didn't mean to tra—"Tohru's large eyes blinked and she stared up at Koiji. Oh yeah... I guess I'm so used to boys catching me and them turning into animals that I forgot Koiji isn't even a Sohma...Stupid me...Tohru closed her eyes, feeling her cheeks burn with a deep blush. "I'm...sorry Koiji...how stupid of me." Tohru lifted herself up, with the help of Koiji.
He just laughed, "Oh, it's nothing...my little sister is always sort of clumsy, I just think it's really cute." He smiled down at her causing her cheeks to seem sun burnt, "I'm used to it, so you don't have to say sorry." He smiled, patting her on the head.
Kyo felt himself fume, Goddamn that bastard!! Get your hands off her!! His face started to match his ginger hair in color. Clenching his fists, he decided to barge in there like normal to see what the hell was going on, "WHO IS THIS?!" he yelled, his voice a roar like normal,
Koiji smiled, waving, "I'm Koiji Shiatsu. I came to see Toh—"
Kyo's fingers curled around the boy's collar, bringing him to face Kyo's crimson-blood eyes, "You better not have hurt her you bast—"
"Kyo, please!!" Tohru looked up at him pleadingly, tugging on his arm, "Put him down, please, Kyo...he just asked me to go out with him for today...that's all...please Kyo...stop?" she bent her head, bashfully clutching Koiji's arm to pull him away from Kyo.
Kyo's heart cracked. He stared down at Tohru and her arm wrapped around Koiji's, Koiji staring at her with a twinkle in his eye. Kyo could tell Koiji felt like the luckiest in the world. To have Tohru say yes to that question. Kyo's eyes were shadowed by his bangs, turning around on his heel he clenched his fists, "Th-then...go..."
Tohru smiled up at Kyo, "Thank you Kyo...Koiji, I'll go get dressed." She bowed and said a short 'good-bye' before stomping upstairs.
Koiji leaned against the wall, smiling crossing his arms against his chest, "She's a very nice girl...I really like her." He hefted his shoulders up and sighed out with a relieved smile, "I hope I give her a good time."
Kyo sat down, crossing his legs and leaned against the wall. His eyes still shadowed, he started to talk but his voice was cracking because of the emotion he felt inside. Sadness, surprise...and loneliness. "Y- you're...lucky, Koiji..."
Koiji stared at him.
"...to be so kind...to Tohru and let her say yes...to going out with you..." He stood up, turning away and running off, yelling only simply over his shoulder, "For her to actually like you!!"
Kyo left Koiji there, standing and staring blankly toward the open door that the neko had just dashed off to and out of. His hair blew slightly in the breeze that the house contained from open windows and doors, but his eyes showed he was lost in the words that Kyo Sohma had just said.
My Notes: Sorry if it felt a little weird that Yuki wasn't in here at all and I said that Yuki and Kyo would both be starring, but this chapter was based of Kyo's feelings and the next one with be based off of Yuki's. Hope you enjoyed! –smile, smile- Till next chapter!--Kiyoshi
