Chapter 9- I Don't Want You To Go…
" Kyo-kun…I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I never wanted to find out…but I did… and I just wanted you to know that I l…" Tohru's crying had drowned her out from her own words. She couldn't say anything else. She tried, but it just wouldn't work. She had been crying so hard that her legs didn't want to hold her up anymore, and after a while they didn't. She dropped on her knees, cutting them open.
Kyo kneeled down in front of her, looking at her with confusion in his eyes.
" Tohru…what are you talking about? Your confusing me…"
Tohru's eyes looked up, making eye contact with him. She could see the confusion flowing threw his eyes. She new he had no idea what she was talking about, but she also new that she had to tell him.
" Kyo-kun I know…" she said so low, but Kyo could hear her.
Still, he was confused. He didn't know what she was talking about. Her coming up to the roof crying like this was what was making him so confused. Then her words only seemed like jumbled up sentences that he didn't understand. He shook his head once then looked back at Tohru. She hadn't been looking at him anymore, her head was bowed down a little and she was still crying. Both arms were placed down on the floor for holding herself up from falling. One of Kyo's index fingers made its way under her chin and lifted her head up.
" Now tell me," he said, placing his hand down on hers that was holding herself from falling.
Tohru shook her head, meaning 'no' and looking back down.
" Tohru…tell me please!" Kyo said, now leaning down so he could see Tohru's face.
" No, I don't now what I was thinking about coming up hear. I'm sorry Kyo-ku" Tohru hadn't finished, Kyo's finger was placed on her lips and he was once again making her look up. He smiled softly before placing some hair behind her ear and leaning back a little. He waited once again for her to tell him what she had come to tell him. She looked at him for a split second, then away to the other side.
It was silent as Kyo waited for Tohru to speak. He wasn't going to say anything else until she told him first. Her eyes wondered every where, thinking of how to tell him. She then looked up at the sky. She stared at every star before she finally new she should just tell him.
" Kyo-kun…I know about you…about you being…" Once again Tohru had tried to tell him but she couldn't. Her tears only got worst as she got further into her sentence.
Kyo moved closer to Tohru that there knees were now touching. She looked away from the stars and back at him, she smiled but it faded quickly. And even though she was crying, the light from the stars and the moon made Tohru look more prettier to Kyo then she already was. Kyo had smiled back, but is smile faded as fast as Tohru's had. He new Tohru wouldn't be able to tell him right now. So, now he was just hoping that she would tell him soon.
After a while of silence, Tohru's tears started to slow down. They hadn't stopped, but them slowing down made Kyo happy.
" Are you okay now?" he asked, looking at her with worry in his eyes.
" Yes…" she said before she looked down at there knees still touching. " Kyo-kun… I know about you…about you and Yuki…"
Kyo looked at Tohru. About him and Yuki? He wasn't exactly sure what she was talking about. But he had a good idea of what she might be going towards.
" I know about how your supposed to beat Yuki before you graduate!" she cried out.
Kyo's eyes widened, and he automatically stood up. He took a few feet away from Tohru, and looked away.
" Kyo-kun…" she said, now standing to her feet as well and walking up to him.
He didn't answer her, only stood in that same place. She slowly reached out a hand, but he smacked it away.
" I…I want to be alone…" he said lowly.
" But Kyo-kun…"
"Tohru please!" he said, now turning to face her. " Why…why do you stay with me? Why are you always near me? How…how did you find out?"
" I heard Shigure-san talking about it….and…I'm sorry Kyo-kun. I didn't want to know!"
" Well…then next time don't listen! Now go away! Leave me alone!"
" No! I'm not going!"
" Why are you always arguing with me? Just go…please…I…wont ever be able to beat him Tohru! So why are you always so kind to me? Why are you always helping me? Why do you care so much about me being locked away so much anyway? All I've ever been for you was trouble!"
" That's not true Kyo! You haven't always been trouble for me Kyo-kun… Kyo… I don't want you to go! I want you to stay here with me… be with me when I need you the most…" Tohru's tears had started once again. They were worst then before, and she could barley see because of them. " Kyo, if you leave I don't know what I would do!" Tohru said before running off the roof and into the house.
On her way in she had almost bumped into Yuki. If Yuki hadn't seen her though, he would have been a rat right now. He looked at her as she ran up the stairs, her hands covering her face. The first thing that came to his mind was Kyo. That he had done something to her cause she had just come from outside. And the reason why she would have been out there is because Kyo was out there.
Kyo watched as she ran inside the house, he could feel himself wanting to cry for her…but he didn't. He held in his tears. His body forced him to sit down, and he did. Yuki had come up only seconds later.
" What do you want?" Kyo asked, not really thinking of why he would be on the roof.
" What the hell did you do to her?" Yuki asked, walking across the roof and making Kyo stand by pulling him by the collar on his shirt.
Kyo narrowed his eyes before speaking again. " What do you mean what did I do to her?"
" Don't play dumb you damn cat! She is crying right now!"
" Well maybe if certain people like Shigure didn't have big mouths none of this would have happened!"
" What do you mean by that?"
" nothing…" Kyo said, now looking away from Yuki.
Why wasn't he trying to fight him off? Why didn't he care that Yuki was holding onto him and now yelling at him? All he cared about was Tohru, and nothing else. He wanted to run to her and tell her he was sorry. Tell her he would keep trying no matter what. Tell her how much he loved her.
" Why are you always hurting her? You are always making h-"
" Yeah…well then why are you always making her uncomfortable with being so close to her. Like the other night when you kissed her?"
Yuki went silent. He to loved Tohru. And he wanted her to know that before Akito really did make her move and try to erase Tohru's memory. But Kyo didn't know this. Only him and Shigure new. Right then and there he wanted to tell Kyo why he had done it. So he new for himself as well. So maybe Kyo would stop acting like a jerk, and tell her as well. But, to why he wanted Kyo to tell her, this…he didn't know. He just felt as if Kyo and Tohru should be together. It had always seemed that way to him ever since the day he had Tohru and seen Kyo in his true cat form.
He let go of Kyo's shirt, and turned his back. He closed his eyes, remembering the pain he had received from Akito almost a year ago now. It had never seemed to of left his body, or mind. The memory of that had hurt him every day. Hearing how Tohru's memory was to be erased. And yet, knowing that it hadn't been yet. And that Akito hadn't come yet. It scared him to know that Akito was going to do it, she was going to get away with erasing her memory. He just new it. And he felt as if Kyo should know as well.
" Kyo, you remember that week...or days actually when we went to the Sohma's?"
" yeah, but what the hell does that have to do with anything?"
" Akito told me that Honda-san's memory was to be erased…."
