Welcome To Paradise chp.2
Tohru jumped when she heard those small words. She turned and looked at the cat who, was now grooming himself. She tried to say something but it came out as a small whimper.
"Kyo-kun?" she asked hopefully to the cat on her shoulder.
The cat turned and gave an evil hiss. Tohru turned to what the cat was hissing at. Yuki stood on the porch watching her. His eyes narrowed toward the cat on her shoulder.
"Tohru-kun, you should come inside. You'll catch a cold out here." He said gracefully.
Tohru hiccupped and nodded, "I'll be there in a minute." Her voice came out cracked and weak.
Yuki nodded and went back inside. The cat stopped hissing the instant Yuki went inside. Tohru turned to the cat again and looked at him with tear filled eyes.
"Please, please tell me if you're Kyo. I need to know. I can't go on crying everyday for him. Even though I want to. Please, tell me." She said with tears spilling out.
The cat looked at her with big eyes and started to purr and rub against her cheek. Tohru stood abruptly and the cat jumped on the ground. Tohru gave on long cry of anguish, sadness and frustration. Big mistake. A second later Shigure and Yuki came running out of the house and to her side in record time. Exactly 1.2 seconds. Tohru blinked back tears when Yuki took her hand and looked at her strait in the eye.
"Tohru are you all right?" Shigure asked hastily, looking around for anything or anyone who could have hurt her.
"I'm fine." Her voice came out firm and more bitter than she wanted.
Yuki and Shigure ignored her and eyed the orange tabby who started to hiss and yowl.
"Where the hell did that bastard come from?" Shigure asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"He was here when I came to check on Tohru about a couple of minutes ago." Yuki said calmly.
Shigure looked at Tohru and expected and explanation.
"He came from the tree." She said quietly.
Yuki sighed. "Are you all right Tohru?"
She nodded and continued to look at the cat. Shigure sighed and gave the cat a swift kick. The cat stopped yowling but still hissed. Shigure turned his attention to Tohru,
"If your ok, then why did you scream?"
Tohru looked at the cat and said, "I stubbed my toe."
Yuki looked at Shigure and shrugged.
"On what, exactly?" Shigure asked.
Tohru took in a deep breath and looked around, "The cat."
Yuki's face went blank, "The cat…?"
Tohru nodded and got out of Yuki's grasp to pick up the cat. The cat stopped hissing when Tohru had him in her arms. Shigure gave a disgusted look and sighed.
"I need to go back to work. So, be good children and-"
"Can I keep him?" Tohru asked quickly.
Shigure blinked, "What?"
"Can I keep him? The cat I mean."
Shigure sighed and started to walk back to the house.
"I don't care go ahead."
The cat gave a small meow and Tohru looked down at him he was purring. She smiled and started to laugh.
"Tohru-Chan, what's so funny?" Yuki asked.
Tohru smiled and just went back inside to her room with her beloved Kyo-Kun.
When she settled down on her big bed and sat the cat on it she started to chatter on about nothing until she heard the cat meow. She looked at him waiting for a word or two but nothing happened.
"Your Kyo-Kun right? Please talk to me." She asked, starting to get worried.
The cat started to groom himself then looked up and Tohru. His little eyes looked so serious as he inched closer to her. Her eyes went wide as she watched the cat come closer and closer when finally the cat was nose to nose with her. She waited then the cat swatted at her head. She blinked and sat up strait.
"Kyo-Kun?"
The cat gave a small purr and jumped off the bed to explore. When the cat reached the door it swung open. The cat skidded across the floor to under the bed.
"Sohma-Kun!" Tohru said shocked.
Yuki glared at the cat, who started to creep out from under the bed. The cat gave a small meow and Tohru all but jumped down on the floor to grab him and gather him into her arms. She held him close to her breasts. And cradled him like a baby. Yuki gave a disgusted look.
"Must you hold him like that?" He said walking weary to sit on the bed.
The cat started to purr and play with Tohru's hair.
"Why not?" She asked innocently.
Yuki sighed, "B-because, he's, he's, NOT just a cat."
"I know that." She said happily.
"You do?" Yuki asked stupidly.
The cat wriggled out of Tohru's arms and scratched Yuki on the cheek. Yuki quickly tried to grab the cat but Tohru pounced on Yuki, turning him into a rat under her. She quickly jumped to her feet to find a squished Yuki. He shuddered and stood on his hind legs. Yuki sighed and looked up to find the cat's furry face.
"Oh Shit."
