YAY! I GOT MY REVIEWERS BACK! Where were you woof… T.T well, I gained some new ones so for that I am grateful. This sadly is the last chapter unless I say otherwise. I hope you enjoy this chapter. You may say it's FLUFF! Maybe not… I wouldn't know… I'M DUMB! XD Some think I'm a skilled writer… and yet I still don't know the definition of 'fluff' on siiiiiiigh
Disclaima: T.T must I say it again woof?
Oh, ya… cuz I'm dumb I'm using American customs. Sorry to you freaks who study everything about Japan. I hate studying shudder
AND FLAME ALL YOU CAN AT ME IF YOU SEE ANY OOC! T.T really, don't hold back.
So yes, after through inspection, I am found alive by the hospital morons. Don't you think that me moving and talking—I'm sorry, yelling would be proof enough? Be funny if I told them the truth that I actually DID die… but for now, I'll keep my mouth shut. Not to mention, I don't want to be legally insane for saying 'I had a conversation with God and he brought me back to life'. Ha… that'd be good.
Two months went by and I recovered pretty fast. I have a nice scar on my head though… My arm is still in a cast bugging me more than ever… I get it off in a week, thank God…
I was back home and continued going to school again. I can't beat people up now when they call me Kyo-Kyo… THAT pisses me off… But, I survived that until June came to a close and the school year was over. One more year of high school to go! Then I can move out and-- well, before that, I'm determined to tell Tohru how I feel. I'm gunna beat that rat at something for once. I happened to over hear Ritsu and Tohru talking and heard her say something to him about 'a reason to live'. I know now… she's my reason.
Today is the forth of July and tonight we're all going to the festival to see the fire works display. That's when I'm planning to tell her… no exceptions. (ya'll shut up, I know this is Japan, but I'm dumb and I have no clue when the Japanese Independence Day is. SO STUFF IT! I'M DOIN' MY BEST!)
The day went by as normal, then at 7:30 we arrived at the festival. There were tons of kids running, playing Frisbee and catch. Tohru set up a large blanket on the hill facing where the fireworks shoot off and put out some food for everyone.
As it turned out, Hana and Uo came too. Tohru spent most of her time with them. As for me… well… there was a lot of sitting… and staring… and some more sitting… and some more staring. After a whole fricken lot of sitting and staring, I looked at my watch. It read 9:18… the fire works start at 9:30. Now seemed like a good time to check on 'The Spot"
I walked over to another part of the hill where a plain quilt was laid out. Nothing special, but it'll be able to have two teenaged lovers on it. This was actually the best spot on the hill. Without the others knowing, I came early…
FLASHBACK
Move you fucking policeman! Jeez… stupid "No one allowed in until EXACTLY 6:00"
That time did come however, I was up front, so all I had to do was race against the other losers pushed up against the 'DO NOT CROSS' line. It was a pretty small opening, only 4 others to beat. Some fat lady, two middle aged lovebirds, an old man, and some freak guy with a green mohawk. Looks pretty easy.
And… BAM! We all shot of the 'starting line' and headed for a spot. Well, 3 of us. The teenagers were too busy smooching to pay attention to the time. Almost there… HAHA! I'm here first! I laughed at all the people who looked disappointed that they were too late to get the spot.
"HAND-CAPPED FIRST!" I yelled after the losers.
END OF FLASHBACK
I smirked at my last comment. Hand-capped enough at least… I crumpled up the 'reserved' note I had left, turned on the lanterns in the top corners giving off the perfect amount of light, then walked back to where Tohru and the others were waiting for the sky show.
I took a huge breath, then let it out reeeeeeeally slowly. Here goes… "Um… Tohru…"
She looked at me and gave me that goofy, but adorable smile. "Yes?"
I rubbed the back of my neck with my good arm, trying to pry all the confidence I had "I was wondering… if you could come with me for a second…"
"Sure!" She hopped and followed me to the blanket I had set up. I sat down on one side and motioned her to sit down as well. Once she did, she looked around somewhat surprised. "Kyo, this is an amazing spot! How in the world did you get it? And the lanterns, it's all so peaceful together."
I smirked slightly before looking normal again. "Well… I came early to ensure I had it." Vaguely that's what happened anyways… Heh… "And, I just thought the lanterns would… just look really nice with the blanket." And to make the mood romantic… But she doesn't need to hear that yet…
The wind picked up slightly, rushing through our hair… "Anyways… There's something that's been on my mind for awhile now, and I need to tell you tonight."
"Ok, sure. Go head."
This is way harder then I thought it would be… "Well… I… um… that is… uh… dammit!" Now this is ridiculous… what am I so afraid of? Oh right, the same as always… plain and simple rejection…
"Are you alright, Kyo? You're looking a little flushed… Do you feel ok?" Oh great… now I'm blushing… How pathetic can I get in a matter of 30 seconds! She tried to put her hand on my forehead, but I pushed it off as gently as I could.
"Tohru, I-"
Just as I was about to tell her… Right then… I was finally ready… when the first fire work shot off, giving the loud BOOM in the air cutting me off.
Everyone clapped, at last getting what they had come for. "Do you want to tell me after?" Tohru asked, her voice louder so I could hear.
"No, I need to say this now… I… I just… ugh…" The continuous 'boom'ing is starting to hurt my ears… Can you blame me? I may be cured of the curse, but I'm still tired on rainy days and my ears are still fricken sensitive.
So I just sat back and enjoyed the show (as much as I could with my ears ringing). We were quiet for most of the display until near the end, I was definitely ready. I built up all the confidence in my body for these next four words.
"Tohru…" she looked at me… "I love you…"
As if I was being mocked, the fire works stopped for a second while Tohru didn't answer. She had a face of shock on, which worried me like fuck. I knew it, she lied to my Master, she doesn't love me at all.
She stared at me blankly and I stared at her with hurt, rejected eyes.
Then… she smiled. "I love you too… with all of my heart…"
I cried… I cried tears of happiness…
Slowly… we bent closer… and closer… and closer to each other. Then… thousands of fire works shot off at once… as our lips met under the flashing lights of color in the sky…
It was as if time had stopped all together… she wrapped her arms around my neck, and I put my arm around her waist, and we shared the best time of my life… together…
Hm… shall I stop here? Uh… um… NAH! I'm happy with ya'll now so I'll give ya more, though… I may not go much farther than this woof! O.o
As the finale of fireworks ended, we broke our kiss and found everyone clapping. Though it was obvious that they were clapping for the officials and people who put together the display, but we both couldn't help but smile and blush at each other.
We decided that it was probably time to leave like everyone else so Tohru volunteered to carry the blanket, and I agreed, so we would each have a free hand to hold each other's.
We met back up with others and we all headed back to the cars in which we came. Uo came over and questioned why she hadn't come back for the is display, asking over and over if I had done anything to her and if she need to rough me up for her. Tohru just laughed and shook her head 'no'.
Hana walked next to her, occasionally looking over at me, until finally whispering in Tohru's ear. After a second, Tohru pulled back smiling, blushing and nodding vigorously. Hana smiled at her, then looked at me. I looked away, my face becoming hot realizing that Tohru had told her about what I had admitted to saying.
The rest of the walk home was pretty quiet. Tohru had said good bye to Uo and Hana and then we arrived home. It was late, so everyone headed off to their bedrooms.
After a few hours I was sure pretty much everyone was asleep. But for some reason, I couldn't. No idea why. I got up and walked to my door and crept downstairs, out the door, up the ladder and onto the roof. Once again, my old cat instincts apply: high places and breezes calm me.
I squinted, looking at something that looked like another object on the roof as well. I crept closer…
"Kyo? Is that you?" Is it Tohru?
"Yeah, Tohru?" I moved closer until her picture was clear. She was just the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, sitting up here in her summer pajamas on; a teal tank that perfectly matched her eyes with a little cat playing with a bell on the front and matching pajama shorts with little cats all over them. She truly is a cat lover…
"Mm-hmm." she motioned me to come next to her, so I walked over and sat down to her flawless figure that looked even more perfect in the summer moonlight.
"So Kyo, what are you doing up?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
She laughed. "Yes, that's true… there's been something on my mind though… something I've been meaning to ask you…"
"Yeah?"
She looked away from me, looking pretty sad… and trying not to cry… "W-why… why did you try to kill yourself…?"
I was at a loss of breath for a moment. Why did I want to die again? Now that I have Tohru with me, by my side, I really don't remember anymore. I guess you could say that's a good thing, huh?
"I… well… does it really matter?" I rather not say…
"Kyo, it may not matter to you, but it means the world to me."
"I don't know… I guess… I made assumptions that weren't true… but I believed them without any prove of them being true… which pushed me over the edge…"
"If you don't mind me asking… what were you assuming?" This time she looked at me, probably knowing that if she gave me that face that forced me into everything, I would answer truthfully. I really don't want to… but… but I can't say no to that face, dammit…
"I… I thought… that…" but… how am I supposed to tell the person I care about most that I thought no one cared about me? HOW!
"Thought what?" she asked sounding a little more demanding than usual.
"That… I was…" ahh… stupid burning in my eyes… I don't want to cry… not in front of her… not again… "I thought that… I was worthless… and hated… by everyone…" don't say it Kyo… control yourself… don't say it… "and I thought you loved Yuki which tore me apart more than anything!" Damn… now I'm crying and acting like a stupid little kid!
Tohru stared at me blankly. I looked away, feeling pretty dumb at this point, so much I couldn't even face the one I love most of all…
Then… I found myself lying on the roof, with Tohru on top of me, arms around my neck, lips locked onto mine. I was truly shocked. After I regained my senses I went along with it. I wrapped my arm around her and kissed her right back.
Alas… being human, we need to breathe. So we broke off from each other panting like dogs. I was smiling slightly, expecting the same from her, but when I looked in her eyes, it showed a different emotion. It was almost like it was… disappointed… what the hell…
Then she did something that I never thought she would do. (Well, kissing me I hoped would happen, but this… no this I never thought would happen) She whacked me on the side of my head like I do to her! The little ditzy Tohru that I thought I knew so well whacked me on the head! I looked at her wondering what brought her to do something so out of the ordinary.
Then her face softened again. "Kyo… how could you think that? Did you think that I thought you were worthless and that I hated you? And about Yuki…" I looked away from her. I really didn't mean to blurt that out, but it was burning inside for a long time… I lost it completely…
While I was scolding myself for saying such a thoughtless and selfish thing, Tohru pulled me back to reality. She had her hand on my cheek forcing me to face her. She gave me that warm, melt your heart away smile. "Neither of you ever asked who I loved. You both assumed I loved the other. And… well, it just happens Yuki was right." HUH? Does she mean she really does lo- "I love you… more than anyone in the whole world… and Kyo, nothing will change my mind…" Aw crap… I'm crying again… but… this time… I'm happy…
"Tohru… I-" she put her finger to my lips, then replaced it with her own lips, but only for a moment. "Kyo… promise me something…"
"Yeah?"
"Never leave me again… ok?" she smiled yet again…
"I wouldn't dream of it…" I smiled at her then drew her in for yet another kiss.
I broke off suddenly and looked over at the ladder. As I did, a figure hopped down from it. I had a pretty good guess of who it was… but decided not to say anything. I didn't want this night to end… not for anything… we were together and that's all that matters to me…
When I turned back to Tohru however, she had fallen asleep on my chest. I sighed and brushed a few stray hairs behind her ear then passed out myself.
HAHA! Right on schedule! Well, earlier if you noticed. Don't blame me of it didn't show up exactly when I said it would… IT'S NOT MY FAULT I PUT IT UP RIGHT ON TIME!
