angelraine: I can't sleep tonight, that's why I'm making the third chapter. Hope you like it. :D
Tohru ate dinner silently. Yuki was downcast. Kyou didn't come back for dinner. Shigure can't help noticing their sadness. He slammed his hands on the table. Tohru and Yuki were surprised and looked at him."What is happening between you two?" Shigure shouted. "And where is Kyou?"
Tohru and Yuki were silent. It made Shigure angrier.
"What the hell is happening here? You ought to tell me, NOW!" Shigure screamed.
Seeing that Tohru was silent, Yuki answered, "Nothing is happening here. We're just silent to each other when we eat. Is that what made you think that something bad happened between us? I don't know where is that stupid cat so don't ask me."
Shigure finally relaxed. "Good." He smiled at Tohru. "So, how is your job with Kagura? Is she any trouble to you?"
Tohru looked startled. But she answered, "Everything is just fine with my jobs. Kagura is a big help in the bakery."
Shigure asked, "So everything fine, then why are you so sad? We barely see you sad. Except for that time when you saw Kyou's…"
Kyou came in with a ton of bruises on his fists and a few on his face. He continued for Shigure, "real form. So what?"
Tohru was shocked to see Kyou. "Kyou, your hands. Let me –"
Kyou answered coldly, "Never mind. I can do it myself."
Shigure asked, "Are you not going to eat dinner?"
Kyou shouted, "NO!" Then, he slid the door close.
Tohru was about to stand up and follow Kyou when Yuki stopped her. "Don't. He might hurt you."
Tohru's eyes met Yuki's. His eyes were full of concern. She looked down and sat down.
Shigure took out a piece of paper and wrote:
Three people who live in one roof are now acting strangely. One of the boys shows love and affection for the girl. The girl shows mixed emotions of fear, sadness, and depression. The other boy shows anger and angst. Now, she doesn't know what to do. What will happen next?
Shigure folded the paper and placed it in his pocket. 'It's a great story. I ought to write it. It could bring us some more money if I sold it to some other publisher.' Shigure stood up. "I have to finish writing something. Tohru, thank you for the wonderful dinner."
Tohru smiled. Then, Yuki stood up and left without saying a word. She started to clean the table silently. Then, she started to cry. "I… I can't love him back…."
She didn't know that two of the boys in the house were listening to her cry. Yuki was behind the door. Kyou was on the roof outside the dining room.
"Tohru…" They both whispered.
The next day, Tohru stayed bed. She called Umi last night, saying, "Um… Umi, can you fill me in tomorrow? I'm really sick tonight. I might not be able to go to work tomorrow."
Umi answered, "Sure. Are you sure it isn't a matter of the heart?"
Tohru tried to reply cheerfully. "No… I'm just sick. Thank God that I still have strength to make this call."
Umi answered, "Okay. I'll fill in for you. But you owe mw one. 'Kay? Bye now, Tohru. Get well soon." Umi hung up.
She laid down her head on her pillow and cried that night. When she woke up, her eyes were red from tears.
Shigure knocked on the door. "Tohru-kun, are you okay? Can I come in?"
Tohru didn't make any reply. Shigure continued, "Yuki filled me in on what happened. He loves you so much."
Tohru answered, "He told me that also." She paused for a moment. Then, she started to cry. "I… can't… love him back…"
Shigure asked, "Do you mind if I ask why?"
Tohru voice sounded hoarse from sobbing at that time. "I… don't know why… I just… can't."
Shigure asked again, "Do you love somebody else?"
Tohru didn't answer this time. Shigure finally stood up. "I understand. Now, I'll go."
Yuki's heart was crushed. Kyou listened to Tohru sob in her room from the roof.
(As Shigure leave, the song "Stay" by Lisa Loeb played.)
You say I
only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.
And
I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't
belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did
something wrong 'cause I missed you.
Yeah yeah, I missed you.
And you say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
to
anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm
only hearing negative: no, no, no.
So I turned the radio on, I
turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
lover's
in love, and the other's run away,
lover is crying 'cause the
other won't stay.
Some of us hover when we weep for the other who
was
dying since the day they were born.
Well, well, this is
not that;
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.
And I
thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.
You try to
tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow, or
anywhere with you.
You said that I was naive,
and I thought
that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can
leave."
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed
you.
Yeah, I miss you.
You said, "I caught you 'cause I
want you and one day I'll let you go."
You try to give away
a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just
scared to lose.
And you say, "Stay."
And you say I only hear what I
want to.
angelraine: So sorry I turned this fan fic into a song fic… The song sounded so good at that moment… I, myself, think that some of the lines in this song isn't right for the moment.. Please tell me on your review if you don't like this chapter. I'm willing to change it… The song was meant for love triangle YukixTohruxKyou.. So review okay?
