Chapter 13-Tears That Could Kill
" You missed school yesterday Tohru!" Uo-chan shouted to Tohru as she now spotted her walking with Kyo and Yuki.
" I know, I'm so sorry. So many things came up and I was just to busy!" she said, with a smile on her face.
" yes, but then why were orangey and prince here absent as well!" she asked, as she pointed to Kyo and Yuki.
" I have a damn name ya' no!" Kyo shouted as he put his hand into a fist, and lifted it so it was eye level now.
"Your sad," Hana said, getting every ones attention. "your waves are telling me you are sad, all of you…" she added as she looked from Tohru, to Kyo, and then Yuki. All three of them just stared at her, before Tohru had stepped in front of them to get a better look at Hana.
"Were…were… not sad at all! Really, were just fine…!" Tohru said trying to convince her."
Even thought Hana hadn't believed her, she just let it slip. Besides, if they didn't get to there classes soon they would all be late. They weren't all in the same homeroom, but in all there other classes each every one was in together. Tohru had tried her hardest to seem happy, but when they had sat down in there chairs to there class, all that faded away and her mind slowly slipped into deep thought about Akito.
She would always try to think of a way to break the curse, but the harder she thought the more she became frustrated. Then her mind slowly slipped into the thought of Kyo, and how he was supposed to be locked up in less then two months now. As Tohru had gotten an idea about the curse and how to break it, the bell rang and the idea had automatically slipped out of her mind. She stood up as she was greated by Kyo first then Hana and Uo, but not Yuki.
" Where's Yuki-kun?" She asked, as she looked around for him.
"Prince charming, he said something about a president meeting earlier. But I don't think you were listening…" Uo said. A small growl came from her stomach, and her arm wrapped around it. " Oh! If I don't eat something soon I'll pound you into the ground!" Uo yelled to Kyo.
" Why the hell me you crazy yankee?" Kyo yelled pissed off now.
Tohru and Hana only watched as they fought like always. Tohru sighed as she grabbed Kyo's wrist. "We have to go…" she said with a smile then ran off.
"What was that all about?" Kyo asked as Tohru now let go of his wrist. Tohru hadn't listened she just kept on walking. "Hey," Kyo said grabbing her wrist to make her stop. She just jerked it out of his grip and kept on walking. Kyo looked at her now a but confused. She had never done this, or acted like this before. And Kyo was now starting to worry.
"Um…Tohru…?" he said, actually more of asked then said.
This time Tohru had come to a complete stop, but she didn't turn now say a thing. She just waited patiently for Kyo to say something. He walked up behind her quietly and when he turned her around she was looking down at her feet. He placed a finger under her chin and lifted her head so he could look at her. When he saw her eyes he had gone into shock. They didn't have sadness in them, not happiness, but hatred. This was the first time he had ever soon Tohru mad, and it had put him into shock. After a while Kyo finally snapped back into reality.
"What's wrong?" he asked after about 3 minutes of silence.
"Nothing," she said, but her voice only showed she wasn't in a good mood at all.
" I know something is wrong, you cant say it isn't. This isn't like you Tohru. What's wrong?"
Tohru looked away from Kyo as she now turned and started to walk again. Kyo only looked at her. He still wasn't able to believe this was the Tohru he loved. She wasn't…Tohru, and he didn't like it.
"Please Tohru tell me…" he pleaded as he walked behind her. They were now entering the woods to Shigure's house when Tohru had come to a stop. She turned around, tears streaming down her face. Now her eyes showed sadness and not hatred. Kyo was just so confused to why she was crying. Was it something he had done? No, it couldn't have been. But then why was she crying.
"I cant…you cant…Kyo!" Tohru cried out before falling to the floor. Kyo didn't take any time to drop down by her side to see what was wrong.
"Tohru, what's wrong now? Why are you crying?"
Tohru's eyes made there way up to Kyo's. And when she saw all the care in them she had thrown her arms around his neck. Kyo instantly went POOF into his cat form. But he was only picked up seconds later by Tohru. She had pulled him into a tight hug that he couldn't move from. Her tears dripped down on top of his head. He looked up to her as she was now crying even harder.
"You cant leave Kyo-kun! You just cant! I don't know if I would be able to live without you… Its to much for me! I don't want to do this anymore! I cant take it, I just want to leave. Leave with you and not come back! I want to be able to put all this behind us. Act like it never happened…" Tohru had now hugged him even tighter now. "Please…" she said as she had once again hugged him tighter.
This hadn't bothered Kyo. He loved being held by her, and knowing she didn't mind him when he was in his cat form. But now every thing had seemed so different. Her tears had felt as if they were now killing him. Tearing him apart. He had wanted so badly to be able to embrace her in his human arms. But since he couldn't do that, he was at least able to finally wiggle his body some what free from Tohru's strong grip. He leaned forward and licked her cheek which had made Tohru's crying slow down.
Tohru placed Kyo on the ground, a smile crossed her face slightly before she stood to her feet. "I'm sorry…" she said before she had turned and started to run towards the house. Kyo only stood there, his head tilting to one side now, with a confused expression on his face. He took one step forward, his little cat paw making a print in the soft dirt. He sat down as he watched Tohru run out of view. He didn't know what to do. And he couldn't go after he without his clothe. So he just had to wait for himself to get back into his human form.
Tohru walked inside the house, covering her face, and ran up the stairs. Akito was the only one who took close notice to this, and grinned evilly. Kyo had entered the house about a half hour later, his face beat red from all the running he had done. He didn't take any notice to anyone sitting in the kitchen. He had done the same thing as Tohru by ignoring them all and running up the stairs.
He came to Tohru's door, but by the way she had acted earlier, he didn't want to knock. He just wanted to get to his room and sulk just like Tohru was doing now. He slowly open then closed his door. Dropping himself onto his bed, he went into deep thoughts. But the only thing his thoughts were about was the look of sadness, pain, and even fear on Tohru's face earlier. She wanted to tell him something else. He just new it. That's why she had said sorry. She was holding something back, and she knew that he would know she was holding something back.. (yes…confusing I no…sorry). He had stayed in that position for hours until he heard Tohru's door slowly open and foot steps fading as they made there way down the stairs.
He stood up from his bed and opened his door, following the foot steps. They had led him outside and up to the roof, just like he had thought they would have.
"Hey," he said as he climbed up on the roof and sat next to Tohru.
"hey…" she said so lowly that Kyo wasn't sure if she had even answered.
"Um…" was all he could say.
" Just leave Kyo, please, I want to be alone. I don't want anyone with me right now. I think being alone with give me enough time to think about some info I lost in my mind in school when the bell had rang," she said, referring to the idea she had gotten about breaking the curse.
As much as Kyo didn't want to, he stood up and left.
Only seconds later did the sound of someone coming up the ladder fill Tohru's head. She turned, thinking it was Kyo, but she went into shock when she saw it wasn't. There stood Akito with a killing smile on her face….
