Chapter 5- Still At This Stage
" Tohru.. I…" Kyo tried so hard to say the words but he just couldn't. They wouldn't come out. His throat felt dry and scratchy. As if he hadn't drank water in forever. And he would just keep repeating himself over. He would say love, but it would be silent. Tohru, just stood there. Staring at him with a confusion expression on her face.
" Kyo-kun, what's the matter?" she asked, being completely blank on what he was trying to say.
He smiled only showing he was okay. But in his mind he was really thinking ' how can she not tell what I'm trying to say?'
" you know what, forget about it," he said, dropping himself on the couch.
" Okay…" Tohru said, in an uneasy voice.
Kyo, catching the tone of her voice, looked over at her. She was looking down at her hands, which held each other tightly.
" Tohru, what's wrong?"
" hu…oh nothing."
" Don't tell me nothing, I know something is wrong. I can hear it in your voice."
" I'm going to go to bed…" she said, trying to avoid his reply. She then stood up and went to go up stairs.
Kyo stood as well, and grabbed her wrist.
" What's wrong?" he asked, the worry in his voice showing.
Tohru hadn't been facing him, and when she did turn around they made eye contact. Tohru gulped, as she stared into Kyo's ruby eyes.
" Kyo…please I just want to go to bed…" she finally managed to say.
Kyo hadn't said anything to this. Only stared at her. He could feel the red in his cheeks rising quickly. As the red rose in her cheeks as well. Finally, he let her go, not wanting to get closer to her like he had the other night.
" I'm sorry…" he said before he pushed by her and went up to his room.
Tohru stood there, dumb faced. After a few minutes, she turned around and went up the stares as well. She entered her room. And dropped down on her bed.
What was wrong with her? She…she wasn't herself just now. Something was wrong, but what? Ah! Now I have to things that are eating at me.
Kyo laid back, still deep in thought. He closed his eyes, and found himself drifting into a deep sleep. As well as Tohru.
When Kyo woke up the next morning, he could hear Tohru down stairs humming. He smiled before dragging himself out of his bed and down the stairs.
" Morning Kyo-kun…" she said, still sounding like she had last night.
Kyo took notice of this, but decided not to ask about it. " Morning," he replied quickly as he sat down at the table.
Tohru came over, placing some pancakes down on the table, and sitting down across from him. They had quickly ate there breakfast, and Kyo had gone to the roof while Tohru washed the plates. When done with the dishes, Tohru went outside. She looked up at the roof, but didn't see Kyo. So she decided to go around on the other side, but when she looked up, he still wasn't there. She then searched around the outside of the house. Still, she couldn't find him.
" Kyo-kun!" she yelled before she entered the house. She got no answer, only the sound of the fridge.
He kicked a little rock before he sat down.
" Maybe I should have told her I was going for a walk…" Kyo said, leaning his back against a tree. She placed his hand behind his head, and looked up at the sky covered by the trees leaves.
Once again my mind is on her, like always. It seems I cant think of anything else. Not even about me being locked away soon. I really have to tell her, I… I cant just keep hiding my feelings like this anymore.
He sat up, and placed his hands on his knees. Then, his hands made there way to his head, and his elbows were now on his knees. " Why?" he asked himself, his hands ruffling his hair around. " why the hell cant I just tell her!" he new what the answer was to his own question, but still didn't want it to be answered. He became angry as he just kept thinking, not even letting this simple little question leave his mind. Not even trying to think about something else.
Tohru hadn't become worried, she new Kyo could fend for himself. It was just the fact of not knowing where he had gone that made her upset.
" Maybe he just went out to get some fresh air…" Tohru said, as she left the house. " I cant take this anymore Kyo-kun. Where are you?" she asked the none existing Kyo.
She looked once more around the house before she went into the woods to look for him.
If he isn't in the woods, and he finds out I went in here, he is going to kill me…She thought to herself and she continued on walking. Her eyes carefully searched around, not missing one little spot. So if Kyo was in here, she would be able to find him. Unless, of course, he went deep into the woods.
Kyo heard a rustling noise coming from his right, and decided to check it out. When seeing Tohru, his only guess was that she was looking for him. Then, when she called his name, he new she was looking for him. He sighed, knowing he would have to come to her call. Even if it did make him sound like a cat! He stood up more and started to walk over to her. When she heard his foot steps she turned to the side he was coming from.
" Kyo-kun!" she said, walking closer to him.
Kyo smiled, before feelings his foot got caught under something, making him trip. He fell forwards and hit Tohru just enough to make her fall as well. When she hit the floor and opened her eyes, she was surprised to see Kyo above her. His hands were right by her head keeping himself from falling on top of her. He opened his eyes, only to see Tohru staring at him, eyes wide. This, put him into a small trance. Now the only thing he could do was to stare right back at. Tohru was able to force a smile on her face, which made her look more beautiful to Kyo then she already was. He took in a deep breathe before moving closer, making both his and Tohru's heart pound like crazy.
" eh…" he said, before finally noticing what he was doing, and quickly pushed his arms off the floor to make himself stand. " Sorry," he said, reaching out a hand for her to grab onto.
She smiled once more before grabbing onto his hand and letting him pull her up.
" C'mon, lets go back…" Kyo said.
When they got back to the house Tohru took no time to go inside and Kyo had just gone back up to the roof; lost in his thoughts once more.
Still stuck in this stage, never going to move one…. he thought.

Haru entered the room, followed by Hiro and Kisa.
" So why are we all here?" Haru asked, not knowing if he would get an answer or not as he looked at each person's face.
" Not sure," Shigure replied, rubbing the back of his head. " All Akito told me was that it was important… but that's it…" Shigure added, trying to seem normal.
" Something tells me your hiding something…" Yuki pointed out, now becoming annoyed.
" No NO!" Shigure stated, his hands flailing in the air. " I honestly don't know!" he lied again, before Akito walked out.
" Hello my family…" Akito said, a killing smile on his/her face.
