Disclaima: WHY. CAN'T. IT. BE. MINE! grrrrrr……
Last time:
Yuki only looked forward, concentrating on making it to the parking lot with me behind him. I, on the other hand, looked around trying to get away from him. In doing so, I looked to the right and my eyes went wide. There was a car speeding right toward us! I have no idea why, probably out of instinct, I tore my wrist from Yuki's grasp (and for a split second wondered why I hadn't been able to before) and pushed him forward causing him to land on the sidewalk. Then-
!WHAM!
All went black.
Chapter 6
Hey… it's… it's that light again. What happened…? Oh riiiiiight I got hit by the car. Well, judging by that light, I'd say that I survived once again. And hey, you know what, I'm glad to be alive.
I opened my eyes and looked around. Pretty white for a hospital room. Dull too. There isn't anything here! Wonder which hospital this is. It can't be the same one, but, that doesn't make any sense, the hospital was right across the street… then… what the hell is goin' on?
What? M-my arms and stomach are healed. No bandages… no pain… this is all too weird…
Hey! There's someone! I ran over to him. He's kinda an old guy, long beard, dressed in all white. Wait a second…
"Hey, Mister! What hospital is this?"
He looked over at me and chuckled a little. "My, my, Kyo Sohma you've been out awhile. Glad to be awake?"
"I guess… whoa whoa, answer my question, where the hell is this?" This guy already pisses me off…
"Kyo, you haven't realized yet?"
"Realized what?"
"Kyo, this is heaven. Your goal has been achieved."
My eyes were as wide as dish plates. "W-what? You mean I actually DIED!
"Well, yes. You go to heaven when you die. No sooner."
"I- wait- but- WHY!"
"That has been your goal for awhile now, yes? Also, you stood in the middle of the highway, what'd you expect? Though, I am proud of you for saving Yuki Sohma's life. That I least expected… but here you are!"
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!"
"Kyo, is it that hard to figure out?" He reminds me of Ayame… "I am God. The one you have sworn at and hated for ages now." He's smiling…
"Oh… my… god…"
"Yes?"
"GAH! Well, I guess finally I died. I guess I can't have the satisfaction that I did it to myself, but whatever. Either way, I guess I'm glad."
"What? You're happy? Darn, that wasn't my intention…"
"Huh?"
"I was going to have you die and realize that is was the wrong choice and you were going to want to come back to life."
"Don't hold your breath… Everyone's happy now. Yuki, Akito, people at school. No one wanted me anyways. They all pissed me off, so I really don't care about having them gone. Now I don't have to deal with being called stupid cat, Kyo-Kyo, or Lucky Kyo. And… I don't have to live with that fricken curse anymore. No more "fate of the cat of the zodiac."
God sighed. "Kyo… Shigure tried to guilt you into not trying to kill yourself again, Yuki tried to stop you, what else will it take? I guess I'll just show you. Come here."
He motioned me to stand next to him. Once I was he took my hand and snapped his fingers. A few lights flashed, then we were standing in a hospital room. He dropped my hand and I looked around.
There were six people by the bed, four girls and two guys. Wait a sec… I walked around to the side of people not surrounded by people. That… that's me! Man, that car was really speedin', huh? Bandage around my head, patches here on my face, wrapped all over my arms and pretty much everywhere. My right arms in a cast too.
Then I looked at the people. It's Shigure, Tohru, Hana, Uo, Kagura and the damn rat.
T-Tohru… she… she has her head in her arms on the bed… crying…
Hana and Uo are trying to calm her, but they look like they were crying too.
Kagura was crying rivers next to Tohru. Not like I was surprised by that…
Shigure's is leaning against the wall at the head, his hand over his face, wiping his eyes occasionally.
That damn Yuki, he's in a chair in the corner. Hmm, he has his hands clasped on his forehead… what the hell, is he crying too? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ABOUT!
Aww, who cares? I looked back at Tohru. She's still crying her eyes out… so then, was Yuki right? Did she like me that way?
The door burst open. Everyone looked to see who had come in. I looked as well. I gasped. It was Master. He had a look of terror on his face.
"Kyo… I heard… What happened… is he alright?" He asked, panting hard.
This made Tohru cry harder. He walked quickly to my side of the bed and covered his mouth with his hand trying to subdue his gasp, with out much success. He looked to Shigure "I-is he…"
Shigure took his hand away from his face and looked at him with sorrow all over his face and nodded.
Master covered his face with his hand like Shigure for a moment. He was trembling slightly, forcing back the tears that threatened to fall. After a second he ran out. "Master!" I called out to him, but with no reply.
"He can't hear you Kyo, you should know how this works. You're a ghost. They can't hear or see you." God said. I forgot he was there.
Shigure wiped some tears that escaped from his face then moved from the wall and walked out the door as well.
"Can I follow them?" I asked God. He nodded and I ran through the door right after Shigure.
Outside in the hall I looked around and saw next to the door was a little sofa for two people. Master was sitting on it, elbow on his knee, resting his face on his hand. Shigure had just sat down next to him.
"Kazuma, are you going to be alright?" Shigure asked, concerned for his friend.
No reply.
"Kazuma… I'm sorry, I know this must be very hard for you…"
Master took his hand away from his face. It was completely wet, soaked with his tears. "W-what happened… how did he get hit?" He asked, his voice cracking.
"Do you really want to know the whole story? Maybe I should… tell you later… when you're ready." Shigure asked.
He hesitated for awhile, wondering if he would be able to handle it or if it was too soon. He soon made up his mind. "Yes, I want to know. Now."
Shigure sighed and explained how I had tried to commit suicide by cutting myself and how Yuki told him that I had run off and tried again, how he tried to bring me back and when I pushed him out of the way of the car and got hit myself. Master sat there, taking in every single detail. Once Shigure finished, Master threw his head back and repeatedly whacked his head against wall. Shigure put his hand behind Master's head to stop him from cracking his skull open.
"He's been suffering for so long, and I never noticed…"
"No one knew. He kept this all to himself until he finally went over the edge. I don't think anyone expected this to happen."
"Shigure… can you go back inside with him, I want to be alone right now…"
Shigure nodded then got up and walked back to the door. He was about to open the door when it opened before he tried and Tohru stood there. It was apparent that she was still crying, but made an attempt to wipe them away.
Shigure whispered into Tohru's ear. "Tohru, why don't you go talk to him? Your kindness is much greater than mine, you are way more comforting than me."
Tohru nodded to him then sat next to Master. For awhile the two just sat there, no noise from either. However, the silence did end.
"Um… Kazuma… I'm sorry, I don't know what to say…"
Master wiped his face (his eyes in particular) then smiled weakly at her. "It's alright. You don't have to say anything. Though, I would like to ask you something."
"Sure."
"Did you love Kyo?"
Tohru was startled by the question just as much as I was. I mean, what the hell will he accomplish by asking that, I'm DEAD here!
"Yes… I loved him with all of my heart…" She's crying again… Wait! Did she just say she loved me! Seriously! BOO YA! TAKE THAT RAT-BOY! But… it doesn't really matter now. Even if I did come back, she'd hate me for scaring her and making her cry this much.
Tohru buried her face in her hands and cried harder than I've ever seen her. Master put his arm around her and pulled her into a hug when she cried into his shirt (kimono?).
I can't stand to watch this anymore… I ran back inside the room and back to my bedside, just watching myself. After awhile, I went back to God.
"How do I come back to life?"
Man, I was soooooooooo tempted to stop here… But I'll be nice and continue. I need to make longer chapters anyways. SOME OF YOU don't deserve it… but fine.
"So, you've changed your mind then?"
"YES! So how do I come back?"
"It's complicated, and could cause more pain than you want."
"Why, because my body is cut, bruised, etc…."
"Well, that is one reason, but the process to merge soul and body together is painful as well."
"I'll do it… I don't want to see her like this anymore… but, one question."
"Yes?"
"Is there anyway you can revive me without the curse?"
"Without the curse? My… the cat 200 years ago asked the same thing. It is possible, but it can also backfire."
"Backfire… how…?"
"You become your original form as spirit and roam the human world as a ghost for eternity. You sure you want to risk it?"
"I'll risk anything for her to stop crying over me."
"Alright then, all you have to do is have your soul lay inside of your body, and I'll do the rest. Hop to it then."
I hopped onto the bed but before lying down I asked "So, if this works, then I won't have the curse anymore?"
"Yes, IF it works. I may be God, but there are things even I can't accomplish. Oh, and if and when you revive, it will be like you were in a coma. You feel all the pain you would have, and all of the wounds you have now. All right?"
I nodded and I was about to lie down when Tohru and Master came in through the door. Good, I want them here when I wake up. Down I go then…
Once I was down, God came to the side of the bed. "Now, think about what you want most when you come back, if it's powerful enough, then you will succeed in resurrecting."
I nodded. Well this is easy, I know what I'm gunna think about: The thought of me, together with Tohru, embracing and being happy as never before. All of a sudden my body started glowing blue (Tohru and the others couldn't see it. It was an underworldly glow) and… ow… what the… jeez! It's like I'm on fire! This really hurts… I started screaming in agony until, it suddenly it calmed and was only pain through out my body like he had said would happen….
I tried moving my right hand slightly… a CAST! Lord… it worked… I owe you so much.
"T-Toh… ru…" I whispered.
Everyone stopped what they were doing. Even Yuki looked up to see. Tohru ran to the side of the bed. "Did you all hear that? Did he talk?"
"I thought so," Shigure started "But I think we're hallucinating."
"Toh… ru…" I called out wearily.
"He said my name I know it!"
Yuki stood up and walked over to her, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Tohru… maybe, we should go home. You may need to lie down for awhile…"
"No! I heard him, I know it!"
Man… I'm too weak right now and I hurt all over. But I need her here…
"Tohru…!" I was straining my voice to get everyone to hear me, but it was worth it if the realized I was alive. I can barely open my eyes… but I'm going to try…
I actually did. I opened my eyes as far open as I could, maybe a little past half way. "Tohru…!" I called out to her again. This time it was louder and everyone looked my way. "Tohru…!" I need her here… don't take her away from me…
"But, it's not possible… he's…" Uo stuttered.
"The signals are weak… but they are there." Hana said astonished as well.
"Look he's awake!" Tohru exclaimed with glee. "And he's breathing too!" She's crying again…
"Tohru" I smiled as much as I could. I pushed myself up with my left arm, though it hurt like hell, but it was worth every second if I was with her. Everyone around gasped as I proved I was alive. Tohru went from happy to worried as I forced my body to do more than it was ready for.
"Kyo don't get up yet! It's too soon!"
I stared at her, the most beautiful thing to ever walk the earth. My eyes burned at I held back tears. She's close enough…
All of a sudden, I threw my arms around her (the one in the cast didn't have a sling so it made it around her too) and rested my head on her shoulder, letting the tears fall. Everyone gasped (once again) at this.
"H-how is that possible?" Shigure stuttered.
Tohru was just as surprised, but after a second she returned the hug, not caring why or how, just glad to be sharing the moment. Just like I am…
So… yes, he came back to life! Sorry if I scared ya for a sec! Well, all that matters is that Kyo's ok. AND! This isn't the last chapter! One more after this. It's gunna be Kyo and Tohru moment! HA HA! See ya then!
