HEY ALL YOU LOVELY PEOPLE. ENJOY EL NEW CHAPTER:D :D :D :D
RECAP from the last chapter...
Kyo was shaking with fury as he punched the wall nearby, causing all the furniture to rumble apprehensively,
"Dammit! Don't you guys have futures that you want to live out!"
Hatori's chair scraped back as he stood up from his chair, banging his fist down on top the table as well, causing the cups to all tremble as he screamed out with fierce eyes,
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! Just get out!"
The rest of the group just stared with wide eyes, so shocked to see Hatori shed some real emotion. Kyo's heart skipped a beat as his throat tightened along with his chest,
"Wh-what?"
"I SAID GET OUT!"
Heavy breathing was the only noise that was left as Kyo turned his heel and rushed out of the open front door. Running... once again.

Chapter 10 - Old Home
"Who's that guy?"
"His hair is outrageous!"
"But... he's kind of cute isn't he?"
"Yea, yea, he's got that whole broody thing down pat."
Kyo rolled his eyes as he overheard the loud whispers of the giggly girls that were standing at the entrance of Kaibara High. He glanced over at the door for the fifth time and when he finally saw students start to pour out of the huge double doors, he felt himself sigh with relief and cross his arms cooly over his chest as the wind tousled his messy orange hair. He swiftly glanced to his side and his eye caught onto the familiar chestnut brown hair swaying in the breeze. He pushed himself off from the ledge and pushed through innocent bystanders, grabbing her gently by the shoulder. Tohru yelped shortly and whirled around to see Kyo's face a few inches away from her. Her cheeks blazed as she squeaked out in a high pitched voice,
"H-hey!"
When she saw his sullen look, she inquired,
"Are you okay?"
Kyo led her towards the empty brick wall, and heaved a sigh as he looked up at the fluttering leaves,
"I left them."
Tohru felt a lump form in her throat as she asked softly,
"What... happened?"
"I told them the truth, and they just... turned their backs on me."
His exterior looked so calm and in control, but one look in his eyes and she could see all the fear that was swimming dangerously in his eyes.
"How are you feeling?"
He shot his head up and grunted out,
"Fine."
If you have doubts... you can tell me.
"You...dont have to hide your fears with me."
She lightly placed her hand on his tense arm and continued,
"I want to hear your doubts... your fears, so we can share them together."
His eyes softened completely and he felt his body relax as he placed his larger hand over hers, shooting her a warm smile,
When you say things like that... it comforts me, and when you smile, it lifts the huge weight that hangs in my heavy heart. I don't know how you do it.
"Let's... go find a home."
He took her hand into his and together they walked off down the sidewalk, ready to go through life together without family, nor a home.
"You're hired!"
Kyo's eyebrows raised and his frown dug deeper into his face as he asked incredulously,
"Really?"
"Don't look so stricken, we were desperate for a new worker, so here's your apron."
The man with the round belly and leaf green apron tossed the same apron that he was wearing into Kyo's open arms. He then led him behind the counter and explained him the instructions of how to work the cash register and the other deli regulations before leaving Kyo alone.
Wow... workin' at a deli... is that any better of a life?
He groaned and placed his elbows down on top of the plastic counter, trying to get his head to stop pounding with stressful thoughts. When his shift was finally over he threw off his apron with disdain and shoved it into the metal gray lockers, pushing his way out of the suffocating small deli and breathing in the new fresher air where he met Tohru across the street. She had a small smile pasted on her cherry lips, even though there was so much trouble stirring up in her mind she somehow was able to keep that wonderful smile on her lips.
How does she do it?
He shot her a half hearted smile to let her know that he was okay and then pushed a tired hand through his messy flaming hair, asking dully,
"So where do we go now?"
Tohru grabbed him by the wrist and led him down the sidewalk, exclaiming with excitement,
"I have the perfect place!"
Kyo let himself be lightly dragged along the road, feeling extremely confused by her spontaneous behavior,
"Where are you heading?"
She kept on walking in silence and then stopped on top of the familiar fresh mown grass, smiling up at him,
"The orphanage..."
Kyo dropped her hand and stared up at the old building that bought back all kinds of memories. He clenched his teeth down, and before a thought could register, Ktisune appeared, wearing a nice powder blue skirt and a cotton white shirt, with grass stains on the front. She strolled over to them and smiled warmly at the both of them with her kind face and nodded at Tohru, greeting her with a nurturing voice,
"Oh hello Tohru-chan!"
She then glanced over at Kyo who stood frozen next to her, as if not moving would make him somehow invisible to her eyes. Kitsune kept the warmth dancing in her eyes as she let her smile spread further, asking,
"Oh, and who is this young man?"
Kyo cleared his throat several times and looked away, first at his shoes and then at a tree behind Kitsune, answering in a mutter,
"Uh... Kyo."
He looked up at her cautiously, waiting for her to lecture him about the past, but he was surprised to see that her smile was still the same, open and welcoming. She reached up and patted him on the shoulder gently,
"Nice to meet you Kyo."
She smiled again and then looked at the both of them, asking,
"So what can I do for the two of you?"
Tohru glanced at Kyo for a second and then back at Kitsune with a nervous smile on her worried face,
"Um... well... it's very hard to ask, but do you think... um do you think..."
Kyo could tell she was having a difficult time trying to utter out the request, so he wrapped up her sentence for her as professionally and politely as he best could,
"Do you think we could stay here for a few nights until we can find a real place? We ... have no where else to go."
Tohru nodded very quietly and added with a whisper,
"I'm so sorry Kitsune-san..."
Kitsune laughed at the two of them and waved her hand in the air,
"You two are way too polite. Of course you can stay! I would never say no..."
Tohru's eyes grew large and she jumped up in the air with joy, squealing out,
"Kitsune-san! Thank you so much! I owe you so much, I will do all the chores! I will take care of all the kids! I just want to thank you so so much!"
Kitsune laughed again and then gave them both a welcoming smile as she told them,
"You don't have to repay me in any way. I enjoy your company... both of you. Here, let me show you guys where to put your things."
Tohru shot Kyo a secret smile and he smirked back at her with dancing eyes.
