Chapter 4- Words Of Truth
Tohru rummaged through her stuff searching for a notebook. Loud bangs were coming from her room for almost an hour now. Making both Kyo and Yuki wonder, and worried. But neither of them went to go see what was wrong and what she was doing.
" I know its here…" she said flinging some books aside. Finally, she came across a blue notebook. She smiled as she picked it up and opened it. Her fingers ran page over page looking for something. Then she had found it. In big bold letters was printed…
Kyo Sohma
Cat Of the Zodiac
Same Age As Me
She read on about what she had wrote about Kyo. Every thing she new about him, liked about him, nothing really about her dislikes were in there for him. Then she started to flip the pages again. She had came across the page she was looking for near the back of her book.
The Curse…
Its read in big bold letters. She read on about what she had placed in the book about what she new about this…'curse'. She hadn't learned much. But she still wanted to break it. She had thought that maybe if she were to break the curse, Kyo and every one else would be happy. She had also noticed that Akito brought much depression to both Kyo and Yuki. This she didn't like very much.
She flung the book to the other side of her room. It didn't have enough information about what she needed to know.
" I have to find out more about this curse… maybe if I go and see someone at the Sohma's… no, that wouldn't work. If they new how to break the curse wouldn't they have done it already?" She sighed as she leaned her back against her bed. " Rin also wants to break the curse…" she mumbled under her breath.
It was almost 10 at night and Momiji had left not to long ago. Tohru was tired from playing games with him all day. Even though she had enjoyed his company. Shigure had also pulled Tohru into a separate room earlier to ask her about Kyo. But she told him the same thing she had told Yuki. But unlike Yuki, Shigure had given her some advice.
" later Tohru, when you hear Kyo leave his room. Follow him. Make sure to act like you hasn't known he left his room. Bump into him on 'accident,'" Shigure had done the finger quotations when he said accident. " this will turn him into his cat form…"
" But wont that just make him more mad?"
" No, apologize like crazy like you normally do. He'll feed bad and say its ok don't worry about it. Then little old you just has to say, Oh Kyo, you talked to me. And then you said it was okay. Does that mean you will talk to me now?"
Tohru laughed silently at the advice Shigure had given to her earlier. She could have done that now if she wanted. She was able to hear Kyo's door slowly open, and someone's feet hitting the floor as they walked. But she didn't want to do that. She wanted Kyo to talk to her when he was good and ready. She new something was wrong with him. She new he was upset. It was easy to see.
Kyo looked entered the kitchen to see Shigure and Yuki sitting at the table drinking some tea.
" Why don't you join us…" Shigure suggested pointing to a seat.
" No that's okay. I…eh…just came down for a drink that's all."
" Why do you waist your breath on him Shigure? The damn cat is hopeless…"
" Who the hell do you think your talking about you damn rat!" Kyo slammed his fist into the table. " Next time I swear, it will be your head." he said.
" is that a threat?" Yuki stood up and faced him.
" yeah, maybe it was you damn rat!"
Yuki swung a punch and hit Kyo in the face. Kyo turned around and went to go swing a punch at Yuki when he saw Tohru standing behind him. He lowered his fist, apologized so low that Yuki could barely hear him, then went outside.
Tohru watched amazingly to what had just happened. She couldn't believe Kyo had just, stopped apologized, then left.
Even Yuki was a little wowed. He didn't know what that was all about and was about to find out when he followed Kyo outside.
It hadn't taken long to find him at all. He was -like always- on the roof sitting and looking at the floor.
" What the hell are you doing here?" he questioned angrily, noticing Yuki on the roof to.
" What do you mean… oh never mind." Yuki thought for a moment.
"Why the hell am I doing this for him again? He thought, clueless.
" Kyo, I know something is wrong. And I don't expect you to tell me. I mean, if you haven't told Miss. Honda then you defiantly wont tell me."
" yeah, so then why did you come up here?"
" Why don't you talk to Miss. Honda anymore? Is it something that happened when Akito was here."
Kyo looked over a Yuki, giving him a how did you know look.
" I new Akito came that day. So I was glad to not be home. So, what did he say to you that has made you like this?"
" None of your damn business now leave me alone!"
Yuki walked up to Kyo and grabbed his by the collar of his shirt, making him stand.
" No, I have actually come to help you for once. So you cant just tell me to leave you alone."
" And why not. I did to her…"
" So Akito did say something would happen to Miss. Honda if you continued to talk to her."
" maybe. And how would you know that?"
" Don't play dumb Kyo! We both know you love her."
Kyo looked at Yuki. Taken aback by his words.
How…how did he know?
" don't even give me that 'how did you know?' look. It was simple. The way you looked at her. How you were always so nice to her. Always willing to help. Wanting to go places with her. Then, Akito shows up. Akito had always threatened to do something to us if one of us were to fall in love. So, Aktio told you not to do anything with her again. Not to be any closer to her. Did he not?"
" yeah… but wh-"
" why do you listen to him. I thought you were better then that Kyo! Akito has tortured us all! No one ever stands up to him. EVER! Maybe you should be the first one to do it Kyo…"
" Now why the hell would I be that dumb to do that?"
Yuki let go of Kyo's collar.
" I have always looked up to you, do you know that? You never cared what people thought of you. I did. You never cared to be yourself Kyo! And I did. So don't go being someone else now. Don't change who your are because of Akito. Don't let Akito get in the way of your life. Do not be like me Kyo! Don't hide behind the shadows of others. Don't keep your feelings locked away anymore! Ignore Akito. Some one has to do it someday. And why not it be you? You out of anyone hates him the most. He wont accept you into the zodiac. He never invites you to the family gathering. You want to know why Kyo? Its not because you're the cat. But because he is afraid of you! He knows you are the only one who will ever stick up to him. That's why he picks on you. That's why he is always so nasty to you. Why he calls u a monster. Why he makes fun of you. Because is afraid of you…"
Kyo had gone into shock. Not only did Yuki say he looked up to Kyo, but he was now urging him on to fight against Akito. Stick up for himself.
" I've always wondered to myself. Why does the cat have to stay with the rest of the zodiac family, if he isn't a part of the zodiac? It makes no sense. So just be yourself Kyo, and don't hide from Miss. Honda anymore."
Kyo finally came out of his stage of shocked. He looked directly at Yuki. Not only did Yuki just make sense to him, but helped him as well.
" Thanks…Yuki…"
Kyo smiled at him, and received a smile back from Yuki. With out another word, Yuki left the roof of the house and went back in.
" What was tat all about?" Shigure asked.
" Me and Kyo have just sided our differences that's all." Yuki said. " Where's Miss. Honda?"
" Oh, Tohru went up stairs. She said she had to straiten up her room."
Yuki laughed a little but then headed up stairs. He knocked on her door, and she opened it right away.
" Yuki!" She said happily.
Yuki smiled.
" Come in!"
He walked in, and looked around.
" Place is cleaned all ready?" He asked amazed to how fast she had cleaned it.
" Yup. So, what did you want?"
Yuki smiled and walked up to Tohru. He stopped only 3 inches from her face and looked down at her.
" don't worry anymore Miss. Honda. He will come back…" Yuki smiled again and left the room, leaving Tohru confused.
He will come back? Who is going to come back? Did some one le- Oh no! Kyo!
Tohru ran out of her room. Making a turn to go down the stairs, she collided with Shigure.
" Sorry!" She yelled before continuing to run outside.
She looked around, not being able to find him. She was worried that Yuki meant he left, or something else happened to him.
He cant be gone. Not now. Not when I didn't even get to tell him I lo…
She started to climb up the side of the house in order to get on the roof.
Kyo turned hearing something. And there he saw the brown haired girl he had fallen in love with, smiling at him so happily…
WOW! I got to chapters done in one day! thats really good for me! Well anyways...he is the chapter that Yuki tells Kyo every thing he was holding in. Or locked away from Kyo. So, what do you all think? Good...hm...? I hope it is. Cause i enjoy typing these up for other people to read them! anyways please r/r thanx
