I am soooo sorry I haven't updated in a long time, but with school and stuff, well you know how it gets, but here's the next chapter. I will try my hardest to update as fast as I can, and do not worry we are no where near the end of this fic. In this chapter the status of kyoxtohru might waver to yukixtohru. Don't be mad please because once you read it you might feel different about Yuki and of Kyo. But I have to remind you Tohru is a senior and she has gotten a bit more mature which means she can get angry especially over this thing in this chapter, but please keep in mind she is still herself, just older.
Plus! Thanks to all of you who review, but a special thank you to puchiko2, whose review reminded me that everyone was waiting for more, So here you go:
Disclaimer: I always forget these, so this is my disclaimer for the entire story: I DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKET! Sad but true.
Chapter 7: Love, Trust, Anger and Sadness
Tuesday:
Previously on Telling Her:
"It's nice to see you again Kyo-kun. I've missed you," A sweet toned but harsh voice.
"Leena!" Kyo gasped.
Tuesday: "Leena, what are you doing here?" Kyo asked sharply but shocked.
"Is that any way to greet me?" Lenna answered back, her auburn eyes shining. She had a sweet air about her and had longish black hair. She was extremely pretty and had a small resemblance to Tohru in the way she acted, the way she talked and even the way she walked. she was slim and wore her hair down, and also had on a light pink skirt that reached just above her knees and a white sleeveless shirt and had a pair of white flip flops on and was 5 foot 6 (shorter than Kyo by 2 inches).
"Leena, I haven't seen you in years. I haven't seen you since I left training in the mountains with Kazuma." Kyo figured.
"Oh yes, it really has been too long. It's been what...? Five years, yup I guess that's it. Well after you left me, I was broken and wasn't very strong. I still had hope that you would come back, but after some time I gave up hope. (She paused) so I stayed with Kazuma for a while really having no desire to go back to an empty apartment and all. And he was a great help to me, but he would never tell me where you had went but I know now that you went to live with Shigure and Yuki. And I know that you obviously don't want me in your life and I can understand but Kyo only the lowest of men, no not men, boys do what you did to me." Leena explained.
Kyo was still so shocked that she was there but he wondered what else she had to tell him. "Yes...?" Kyo urged. She was hesitant but continued. Tohru suddenly got up and ran out into the hall and she wanted to understand what Yuki was talking about. They were only a few feet away from them.
"It really hurt when you got up and left when I was seven months pregnant and all. I was so sure you'd come back but you didn't even stay to hear that...," Leena finished, trailing off. She looked down and tears formed in her eyes. But just as Leena head went down, Kyo saw Tohru in shock behind her, then crying.
"Tohru..." Kyo said trailing off when Tohru turned away and ran. "Tohru!" yelled Kyo as he took off pushing Leena out of the way and ran after Tohru.
"Kyo...," Leena said now left there to cry by herself. Yuki had finally come out of the classroom to see what was going on, and saw Leena crying by herself. He walked over to her and comforted her by turning her around. Without warning she turned around, still crying and hugged Yuki with all her might. Yuki, acting as if this was perfectly normal put his arms around her. "It's good to see you Lenna." he said comfortingly but also had other intentions in saying it. He stood there for a while holding her while she cried. When she stopped she looked up at Yuki, "Why doesn't he remember? Why doesn't he remember the life we were supposed to share? The love we were supposed to have for each other? Why can't he remember that? I still love him. I never got a chance to tell him that I-" by this time Yuki had silenced her while she fell back into tears.
"Torhu! Come back!" Kyo yelled as he finally caught up to her. He turned her around by her shoulder,
"Tohru you need to let me explain. You don't understand. I need to tell you." Kyo told her. By this time Tohru was still extremely hurt but didn't want him to go on, she just was too surprised and didn't want to be left in the dark but was also mad as hell.
"You know what Kyo; I don't want to hear it. I don't want to know why that girl in there is crying over you leaving her when she was pregnant," Tohru had to stop herself, she broke back into tears. "I have to go," she managed to whisper loud enough through her tears. Kyo pulled on her hand and pulled her close to him in a hug.
"I love you. Please don't go, Tohru, I need to tell you. I love you," Kyo tried to explain to her. "No," Tohru said pushing Kyo away from her. Kyo stood in a white long hall. Alone. Watching Tohru walk away crying. Alone.
Tohru still crying didn't know where to head and she didn't want to go to Shigure's house, a lot of people seemed to show up at bad times and didn't want to see hardly anyone for the moment. Knowing everyone was still in school for a while she headed to Yuki's base without noticing where she was going. When she got there she was a bit shocked that that's where she ended up. But none the less she sat down and had finally stopped crying.
'Why is this all happening to me? I don't understand...at all. I can't believe that girl (she paused not wanting to admit it was true)... had a child with Kyo (but did). Had? Still has, I bet he's got hair that's just like kyo's. (She started to cry and even sob) Why didn't he tell me? Even though its hurtful, it's something that he should have told me. I can't believe this. (She cried harder) Why is this happening?' After this Tohru couldn't think about anything anymore she was too hurt, her head spun and her heart was broken. 'I can't be with Kyo anymore. She belongs to him and he belongs to her. He belongs with his... (she paused still not wanting to admit it) child.' She again went into her crying. It just hurt her so much and she couldn't comprehend it. The girl looked just as sweet as Tohru, she was everything Tohru was. She wondered if Kyo would use her just like he did that girl. She wondered if he told her that he loved her, and was in love with her, and was just as sweet to her as he was, no had been to Tohru. She heard a small rustling as Yuki appeared at the base.
"Oh Honda-san, I'm sorry I had no idea you were here. I'll leave," Yuki said.
"No, Yuki you don't have to leave. Please Stay. I don't think it's smart for me to be left alone right now," Tohru suggested. Yuki came over to her and sat next to her and put his arm around her shoulders and let her cry. But before she did she looked up at him, "Yuki, why did Kyo do this? Why didn't he tell me?"
"He couldn't tell you, it was too hard for him to tell you, especially loving you as much as he does," Yuki told her.
"Thank you Yuki. I know how hard it must be to tell me that. Thank you for being here for me Yuki," Tohru said comforted by the words that came from him.
"I'm always here for you Honda-san," Yuki told her.
"Yuki, please, just call me Tohru," Tohru asked him.
"Of course, Tohru-kun," Yuki said. She put her head in his chest and cried for a while until she started to cry more and pushed herself more into Yuki, until they were holding each other. Tohru noticing this shot up and looked up with wonderment at Yuki.
"I was mixing chemicals in the lab today and found a compound that was like the sohmas and experimented and found that it lifted my curse," Yuki explained blushing.
"Yuki...I know how hard this must be for you to be here for me, watching me cry over Kyo and now that you have the curse gone. I honestly don't know what's going to happen between me and Kyo right now. But I'm glad to have you around and be here to help me," Tohru explained giving him a small smile but it was a true smile. Yuki smiled at her, "Thank you," he told her as she got up and dried her tears. She offered her hand to Yuki that looked bewildered that she was ready to go back. But none the less he took her hand and they walked back to Shigure's house.
When they reached Shigure's house they went in through the front door and went their separate ways. Yuki suggested that Tohru go upstairs and rest but she told him that she needed to see Kyo and talked to him. Yuki understood but decided to tag behind her to make sure she would be alright. Kyo was in the dining room waiting for her, and sitting across the table was Leena. Tohru walked in with Yuki behind her stopping in the doorway. Tohru headed over to Kyo would stood up and tried to apologetically explain, by running all his words together, but then stopped seeing it was getting him no where.
"Tohru, I'm sorry I never told you about Leena, but it was too hard to tell you. And to tell you the truth I haven't thought about her recently until Yuki mentioned her. But you didn't hear the whole story. It is true that Leena was pregnant, and that I left her when she was seven months pregnant. I was going to marry Leena and live with her in an apartment we had already bought. But I got scared and had to get away. I was only fifteen. I had no idea what I was doing." he started to explain.
"Did you love her?" Tohru asked.
"Yes. I did," Kyo answered. Tohru hurt, kept going. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked calmly.
"I loved you too much, and I thought that if I told you, you wouldn't want to be with me any more. I was afraid to lose you Tohru," Kyo said sounding sincere.
"But if you really loved me you would have told me. I wouldn't have left you," Tohru said with anger in her voice. She sounded edgy as well. She was tired of not knowing and being the quiet one. She was going to be mad, she was allowed, it was her life, and this affected her greatly.
"But I was afraid. I love you too mu-" Kyo tried to say until Tohru cut him off. "Like I said before if you really loved me, you would have told me," Tohru said getting angrier by the second. She had had it; she wasn't going to be treated like a little kid. She had a right to know and now she was mad.
"Kyo, I said I wouldn't have left you, but now, I am," Tohru said calmly but hurt and also angry.
"What!" Kyo exclaimed.
"Kyo, you have a fiancée, home, child and a whole other life, of which I can no longer be in. (she paused, and started to have tears form in her eyes and her voice was now shaky) You belong with them and not me, and they deserve you, not me." she said now having tears fall down her cheeks but was still strong.
Kyo yelling the whole time she was taking yelled, "No, Tohru I love you! We're the ones who are meant to be together! No, I don't have to go with them, I don't want to! I want to stay with you!" Kyo moved towards her trying to explain but she stepped back. She was tired of this. She couldn't face him, she end up crying again. Kyo looked behind her and saw Yuki. He was now frantic.
"Was it that kuso nezumi who put these ideas in your head? He's the one who's making you say this not you. Tohru, I know you and you would never say this," Kyo said, his words coming out fast.
"No, the words coming out of my mouth are my own ideas and they have nothing to do with anything Yuki has said to me," Tohru quickly told him still edgy and calm.
"I am going to beat the crap out of you! (He said moving towards Yuki with a clenched fist) I am going to beat you so hard you will have no idea what even hit you! I am going to kill you with my bare hands! I know you love Tohru and that you are trying to take her away from me. You brought Leena here, you put that orange stuff there to get me out of the way, but instead it lifted me from my curse. No wonder you were so shocked and mad when that happened. You have been plotting all of this all along haven't you?" Kyo yelled at him.
"Yes, it's all true," Yuki said calmly, but with no regrets. Tohru looked at Yuki with wonderment, but wasn't mad at him, it seemed normal, with his feelings and all. It made perfect sense. Kyo tried to make his way over to Yuki but didn't get very far .SLAP. Tohru pulled her hand down from Kyo's cheek. Everyone was shocked at what she just did. She had a hurt look on her face but she was also crying.
"Shut-up. I hate to do this to you but you deserved it. You had no right to lie to me, or to say any of this stuff. I'm tiered of excuses; I want you to go with who you're meant to be with. I want you to go with Leena and live a long life with her," Tohru told him.
"Tohru I love you. And I know you love me, and now you want me to go live and marry and sleep with someone I don't love anymore? I know you love me; we're the ones who are meant to be together. Don't you love me?" Kyo pleaded.
"I do love you, but Kyo you have a family and yes I want you to go live, marry and sleep with her. You obviously loved her enough to sleep with her before," Tohru reasoned. Everyone was amazed at what was coming out of her mouth, but they heard a small voice behind Kyo.
"Um...," Leena started. "I had a miscarriage. I lost the baby. He doesn't have a child," Leena said still sitting there crying. Kyo just looked at her.
"You lost the baby?" Kyo asked finally finding his voice.
"Yes, I did," Leena said crying. Kyo walked over to Leena and put a hand on her back trying to comfort her.
"Kyo, I know you're needed here, so I'll leave. Goodbye," Tohru said. But before Kyo could protest she walked out of the room past Yuki. Yuki followed her out of the room and halfway up the stairs.
"Tohru, are you ok?" Yuki asked.
"No, but I will be," Tohru explained in a comforting voice. She then walked down the few steps that separated her and Yuki and stood in front of him.
"Thanks for being there for me. Goodnight," she said as she placed a small kiss on his cheek and headed up the stairs into her room. Yuki stood there on the stairs in bewilderment, basically shocked. 'No problem,' he thought as he blushed terribly.
Sorry it took me soooo long to update but like I said I had school, but I will try harder to update. Plus I already have most of my chapters written (up to 20) I just have to edit them and take a hell of a long time to go through and space it out nicely. But I assure you it will get worse/ better on however you wanna look at it. But, sorry to have the chapter end like that but that's the way I wrote it. Akito will defiantly be put in the future chapters. I still have a few things up my sleeve, sorry I'm evil. But hey now it makes you wonder what's gonna happen next, doesn't it?
