To Those Who Reviewed:
Miko's Sorrow: It is a good thing. I did feel bad for killing him though.. Um.. ((thinks)) Maybe about 3 - 5 more chapters.
Fanged Killers Blood Lust: I tried to get people to think that. :) I'm glad it worked. I think the same of Akito. He is just misunderstood!
Sam I Am: JUst like I was saying to Fanged Killers Blood Lust, I was trying to get people to think that I was talking about Kyo. It's just part of my twisted humor. XD Sorry I scared you though. :(
Here it is..))
Chapter 9
((Kyo's POV))
Sick and tired of this world.
There's no more air. Trippin'
over myself. Going nowhere.
"You're getting better." Haru stated. "Hatori says you'll be out of the hospital in no time." I smiled slightly and looked out the window. "Good." I mumbled. I was saying 'good' a lot lately, but that was probably because a lot of good things were happening. "I'm gonna be stuck in a wheelchair?" I asked. He nodded. I could feel the anger boiling inside me, but chose, for once in my life, to ignore it. I heard Haru laugh quietly and turned to glare at him. "What's so funny?" I asked. He just smiled and stated,"nothing.. I'm just happy." I turned away and stared out the window. I decided to ask Haru something that had been bothering me since I was told that I couldn't walk. "When I'm out of the hospital.." I paused, still staring out the window. "Will you.. Bring me to Shigure's roof?" I could feel Haru's eyes on me as I finished. I knew I sounded stupid. "Sure." He stated as if it was nothing. "Really?" I asked. I sounded like a child, but what did it matter? "Yeah." Was the last thing he said before the door swung open.
Waiting, suffocating. No direction.
And I took a dive. And on the way down,
I saw you and you saved me from myself.
And I won't forget the way you loved me.
((Haru's POV))
"Kyo!" Screeched a high pitched voice as the owner, Kagura, ran past me. "Kyo, my love, what happened!" She jumped onto the bed and began strangling 'Her Love'. I couldn't help but feel a bit angry. "Get off!" I could hear Kyo mumble under the Ox's death hug. She only continued yelling meaningless garbage and suffocating my poor Kyo. I smiled at the thought of Kyo actually being mine. I always did, but right now I needed to get the love sick pig ((A/N: hehehehehe)) off of him. "Kagura.." I said as I attempted to pry the girl off of Kyo. "Kagura." I stated again, only harsher. She didn't listen. I could feel the anger burning inside of me. "Kagura.." A flat voice stated from behind me. I turned to see Hatori. Thank God. "Calm down.." He stated. "He's already unable to walk.. He doesn't need anymore injuries." Kyo took a deep, thankful breath as Kagura released him.
On the way down, I almost fell
right through, but I held onto you.
I've been wondering why it's only me.
Have you always been inside, waiting to
breathe? It's alright - Sunlight on my face.
"You okay?" I asked as Kyo continued to breathe deeply. "No thanks to you." He gasped. I felt a pang of guilt inside my chest, along with a bit of pain. Was he mad at me? I heard laughter beside me and turned to see him laughing. I sent him a questioning glance. "I was kidding." He stated after he finished laughing. "Don't take things so seriously." I stared in shock. He, Kyo Sohma, was telling me not to takes things seriously? I looked out the window to make sure pigs weren't flying. I then looked at Kagura to make sure she wasn't flying. She was a boar afterall.
And wake up and yeah, I'm alive.
'Cause on the way down I saw you,
and you saved me from myself. And
I won't forget the way you loved me.
((Kyo's POV))
I watched as Haru stared at me in shock. Then looked out the window.. Then looked at Kagura. 'What the Hell is he doing?' I asked myself. "Haru?" I asked aloud. He turned to look at me. "Huh?" He asked, acting as if he hadn't been looking around the room like a mad cow. I laughed mentally. Mad cow? Where had that came from? I suddenly remembered that Hatori had entered the room. I looked around to see where he'd went. He was standing in the doorway by the 'No Smoking' sign of course... Smoking.. Were all the members of the family blind!.. Well, I had no room to talk, since I couldn't see a bus comming toward me. "What do you want?" I asked the seahorse in an annoyed voice. He was silent for a moment before he stated,"I called Shigure for the millionth time.. Tohru answered the phone and told me that they'd been out looking for you all night." This of course made me feel guilty. I'd been out this whole time and hadn't even thought of Tohru.
On the way down I alomst fell
right through, but I held onto you.
I was so afraid of going under, but
now the weight of the world feels like
nothing. No, noghing.. Down, down, down.
((Haru's POV))
"Did you tell them where I am?" Kyo asked. He nodded. At least they knew where he was. "How long ago was that?" I asked. Hatori took a long drag on his cigarette then answered,"About an hour ago." An hour ago? Kyo'd been out for what was it - Three days now, and all they needed to know was where he was and they were fine? It was 4:00 in the frickin' afternoon and they hadn't come in an hour? I suddenly felt light headed. Everything was getting foggy. I suddenly relised how desperate my black side was to get out. Then, everything went black.
You're all I wanted. Down, down,
down. You're all I needed. Down,
down, down. You're all I wanted, all
I needed... And I won't forget the way
you loved me... All that I wanted.
((Kyo's POV))
Haru suddenly stood and turned toward the door. "Where're you going?" I asked. "Out." He stated simply. "I'll be back in awhile." Then he left. He sounded angry, but white Haru never sounded angry.. So he must've turned.. Black.. I could somehow feel my face pale. I jumped out of bed to follow him. I heard Kagura yelp from surprise and Hatori say my name in an annoyed tone. I didn't know what they were yelling about until my feet touched the floor and I instantly fell flat on my face. 'Oh yeah, I can't walk..' I thought. "Shit." I whispered as I lifted my head from the floor. I looked up to see Kagura's worried face and Harori's smirking one. I growled. "Someone go after him!" I yelled. "Are you so stupid that you didn't relise he went black!" Through the open door I could see people poking their heads out of their rooms and I could hear old people whispering something about 'kids these days.' I growled again. "Well, hurry up!" Hatori turned and left the room. On his way out, he finally noticed the 'No Smoking' sign from earlier and threw his cigarette away.
All that I needed. On the way
down I saw you and you saved
me from myself. And I won't forget
the way you loved me. On the way
down I alomost fell right through..
((Haru's POV))
'Where am I?' I asked myself. One minute, I'm in Kyo's room turning black and the next, I'm walking down a street I can't remember. I stopped, sighed, and ran a hand through my hair. 'Okay..' I thought. 'Maybe if I look at some buildings, I can remember where I am.' Behind me was a TV store, across the street was a drug store, and across the street was a.. Petstore! It was the same one Kyo and I went to before he got hit. I made a mental note to use the catnip later. It might cheer Kyo up... Or get him high.. Either way, he'd be happy. I crossed the street nd entered the petstore. Now what was I planning to do? I couldn't remember the direction back home from the petstore!..
But I held onto you. Down, down,
down.. But I held onto you. Down,
down, down. But I held onto you..
((A/N: I've been feeling in a.. Happy mood lately... I dunno why... Anyway, the catnip part was for you, BakaDen.. Since it was you that mentioned that it would be interesting with catnip. I'm gonna actually use the catnip, and not just mention it, closer to the end. So, thank you!
I still have enough songs, but if anyone thinks a song might fit, feel free to mention it to me!
This chapter had a lot of stupid humor in it. I'm trying to get the feeling of the story back to happy/fluffyness before I destroy all the happy/fluffy again.:)
That's about it, so Please Review and Tell me what you thought!))
