Chapter 7- I know…
" Tohru.. Come on wake up…" Kyo murmured into her ear.
Tohru's eyes slowly opened, and she turned around to see Kyo standing on the side of her bed.
" hey," she said, smiling a little bit.
" hey," he replied. " Now come on get up. Its 12 in the after noon," Kyo said.
Tohru's eye widened as she shot up and looked around her room like there was something about to blow up in it. Then she turned her head to the side, and looked at her alarm clock that sat on a night stand. The time read 12:14, and Tohru shot out of her bed.
" Kyo-kun, you should have woke me up!" she complained pushing by him and getting some clean clothe out of a draw. Kyo only sighed, as he watched Tohru zoom back and forth in her room.
" What are you doing?" Kyo asked.
" I have to get some cloth ready, I'm going to go take a bath. And then…um…oh I forgot."
" More like you don't have anything to do today."
" uh… yeah," she said. " Ok Kyo-kun I'm going to go and take a bath."
He nodded and left her room right after she did. He smiled as she entered the bathroom, humming a soft tune. He went down stairs and started to drink some milk out of the milk carton Tohru had gotten for him. When he was done he threw the carton out and sat down at the table, being he had nothing else to do. After a few minutes, he went to the roof top, and just sat there waiting for Tohru to come looking for him. And with luck, when she had gotten out of the shower she started looking for him.
" Kyo-kun!" she yelled walking outside.
Kyo looked over the roof, and Tohru looked up at him. " There you are," she said before she to started to climb up the roof. " What should we do today Kyo-kun?"
Kyo thought for a moment, but nothing came to his mind. " How about…" he started, but stopped to think of what to say next. " um…eh…"
" how about…" Tohru thought for a moment, until her whole body shot up and she ran off the roof. Kyo, right behind her. He grabbed her wrist making her come to a complete stop.
" what's wrong?"
" Work…I have work today and I completely forgot. I'm sorry Kyo-kun, but I have to go…" she said grabbing her work uniform and leaving the house, Kyo still holding onto her wrist. Kyo pulled her back so she stopped, and faced him.
" Calm down, your not going to be late. You have like what, a half house to get there. It will only take 15 minutes to walk. And…I'll walk with you…"
Tohru nodded, now calming down, and continued to walk slowly with Kyo by her side. Like always they were both in silence. But this time, Kyo hadn't let go or Tohru's wrist, and Tohru was looking the other way trying to get her mind off of it. She would try to pull back, getting her wrist out of Kyo's grasp, but that would never happen. She would only feel his grip tightening, and when it got to the point that she was hurting herself, she would stop pulling.
Why wOn the let me go? she asked herself, looking down at Kyo's hand around her wrist.
" Kyo-kun…"
" Ah, yeah?"
" Um… you know what, never mind…."
Kyo nodded, not even looking at her. He just kept looking ahead, lost in his thoughts. He hadn't even noticed Tohru staring at him as they now walked down the sidewalk. Or other girls admiring his 'beauty'. When they had gotten to her job, Kyo finally let her go. He looked down at her, only to get a smile back. But it was once again a smile or pain. Something he didn't like seeing. It made him feel like he was the one doing something to her and that was why she was smiling like that.
" I guess I'll be here when you get out then?"
" sure…" she answered before running into the building.
" So, who was that boy?" A fat women asked Tohru as Tohru had just changed and was now starting to work.
" Oh, he was just a friend…" she answered quickly.
" Just a friend hm…? He's pretty cute. And if he just walked you to work, he must have something for you…"
" Of course not. Kyo-kun..is just a really good friend." she said quickly, defending herself.
The women walked up to Tohru and looked down at her. She put up a smile that made Tohru feel uncomfortable.
" I think he likes you. But who am I to say! Now get back to work will 'ya"
Tohru nodded and did as she was told. She vacuumed, moped, dusted, threw out the garbage. She even did things she didn't have to do. She was so energized that every thing she had to get done she had. And there was nothing else for her to do. S she offered to do things for the other women, and they let her. None of them would say no of course. It was more free time for them to talk and chatter while Tohru did everything.
By nightfall, Tohru had no energy left. She dragged herself outside, and looked around. But Kyo wasn't there yet. She sighed, just wanting to go home. She new if she were to leave this spot she would get in trouble with Kyo. And she didn't want that right now. So, she just sat down and waited for him. Her eyes slowly closed, but she flickered them back open. After this happened three times, she stood up, and started to wonder why Kyo was. When she got sick of waiting, she started to walk home on her own. Seconds later Kyo had came running up to her, panting like crazy.
" Sorry Tohru. I…got a bit side tracked…" he said, gasping for air.
" Its okay Kyo-kun. But I would really like to get home… I'm wiped." she said, placing her hand over her mouth and letting out a soft yawn.
Kyo smiled, grabbing her hand and leading her down the sidewalk. She only walked behind him, not thinking about Kyo's hand this time. All she wanted to do was to sleep, get in her bed, have the covers over her and sleep. When they had reached the woods, Kyo stopped and turned to Tohru.
" Don't fall asleep on me okay. You've been yawning this whole, tiii…" Kyo yawned as well, making the I's in time last longer then he wanted them to. " ime…" he finished, as his yawing came to an end as well.
Tohru laughed a little at Kyo before she smiled. Kyo looked at her closely, the same smile as earlier was on her face. That was it, he couldn't take it anymore. He wanted Tohru's smiles to be her happy old ones. No the new sad ones.
" Tohru, something's wrong. I can tell…"
Tohru looked at Kyo, a little taken aback from his words. " Nothing's wrong Kyo-kun. I'm fine. I'm just tired that's all…." she said, lying.
" No, I can tell. You…you don't smile like you used to. Your smiles aren't of joy anymore. There of pain. Why?"
Once again Tohru just looked at Kyo. Her mind blank. Nothing came to her. What was she supposed to say. That she new about him being locked up in another year. Kyo sihed knowing he wasn't going to get anything out of Tohru, and pulled her along again.
…………………………….
" Your not going to tell her are you?" Akito snapped at Yuki.
Yuki's head flopped up in order to look at Akito. He only looked away once again as the light from the open door blinded him. Akito sneered down at Yuki, showing that he/she wanted the answer to the question. Yuki nodded, and only seconds later Shigure came in. He helped Yuki to his feet, and out of the room.
" We're leaving Akito…" he said before getting out of the house and soon an possible.
" Ms. Honda…" Yuki whispered as Shigure started up the car, and drove away from the Sohma house. " We have to tell her, so she can get away and nothing bad will happen to her."
" Yuki, we cant tell her. You told Akito you wouldn't tell her. And besides, what is running away going to do for her, if she doesn't have anyone with her? And you know Akito would look for her. So she would just be running for the rest of her life…"
Yuki turned over so he was now leaning on his arm, and looking out the window.
" But…she never did anything to anyone. How could Akito want to do this to her? It just doesn't make any sense…"
" Akito said he was jealous of Tohru. That's a good enough reason for him to want to erase her memory. Akito said he wanted to be the one to make us all happy. But no one will be happy after he gets away with wiping Tohru's memory."
" That's why he wont…" Yuki mumbled.
" Yuki…and how do you think your going to stop him from doing so?"
" I don't know, but I'll find a way. Watch…"
………………………………...
Tohru laid down in her bed, and pulled the covers over herself. She hadn't even changed. And she didn't care to either. All she wanted to do was sleep. The moment her eyes gad closed, she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Kyo stood at her doorway, just staring at her. He couldn't get his eyes off of her. And not because he loved her. But because he felt something was still wrong. And he wanted to find out. He would find out. But right now, he just wanted to go to bed as well. He had been out all day, getting food for the house so Tohru wouldn't have to do it when she woke up tomorrow morning. And he cleaned the house as well, so she wouldn't have to do that either. He had even cooked his own dinner. Something he didn't do very often. And for him, this was a lot. And made him exhausted.
Yuki and Shigure entered the house as quietly as they could. They new both Kyo and Tohru would be asleep by now. And they did want to wake them up. Yuki went to his room, as Shigure went to his.
When Yuki entered his room, he took of his shirt. He looked down at his bruised chest, and was now confused to why he had done that. But he was happy he stood up to Akito. It had felt good for once. He put another shirt on, now being happy that the bruises were only on his chest and no where else. Well, except for the small mark on his face that Akito had left from his/her smacks. He turned his attention to his bed, and laid down. He fell asleep eventually, and so did Shigure.
