Chapter 19- A Room Of Dead Souls…
"Because…I never wanted to have to care and think of anyone else's problems like I do. I know how stubborn it may sound. But it is so true. I had never thought I would stumble across such cursed people in my life. Never find anyone with such horrible lives. But I did. And at first, I thought it was something good that had happened to me. But I only found out that I was wrong about that. I don't know why, but if I was able to go back to the day this had all happened, I probably would. Just so I could make sure I would have never of come into your lives. Never had made any of this happen…"
Yuki's hand immediately grabbed Tohru's arms. "Don't say something like that Honda-san! If not for you coming into my…I mean our lives none of us would be this happy. You are the reason that every one acts how they do. You helped Kisa talk. Made me realize that not everything is meaningless in the world. Kyo…well what can I say about him. He just isn't the same anymore. He knows how to express himself without having to use anger…Ah!" This had most defiantly made Yuki pissed off. His voice was now firm and he didn't take a breath threw out his whole statement towards her.
Tohru was just wide eyed from Yuki's statement. But soon after her eyes had gone back to normal she looked away from him.
"No, every one realized or did all these things on there own. You all just say I helped because I was there when all this happened. But little words from one person doesn't mean that you helped them. The person who was helped only helped themselves by finally believing certain things. And learning how to do more things! Learning that they don't have to hide from there fears. No one can help you on those problems! No one but themselves!" Tohru yanked her arms away from Yuki and hurried back inside.
Yuki just stood there dumbfounded by what she had just told him.
Tohru entered the house again only to find that Shigure, Akito, and Hatori were all gone. No one sat in the kitchen, nor the living room place. And not even in Shigure's office. Not thinking to much about it, she made her way up the stairs and into Kyo's room again. When she saw Kyo lying down on the bed with his eyes closed, she couldn't help but smile. She quietly walked over to the bed and sat next to him. Kyo's head turned a little and his eyes reopened to see Tohru smiling down at him. He smiled back before sitting up.
"No one is down stairs…except…Yuki-kun…" she said solemnly.
"I'm sure there around somewhere…" he replied quickly.
Tohru let out a soft sigh and nodded showing she agreed with him. Kyo looked at Tohru more carefully. She had seemed some what upset. And the rest of her aggravated. But her eyes had only shown confusion. Making this confuse Kyo. He wanted to ask her what had happened, but he knew she would answer him. Only tell him the same thing she did every time he would ask. "nothing…" that's what she always said. So he didn't even bother to think about asking her anymore. Just laid back down and closed his eyes.
In only a few moments Kyo had fallen asleep. Tohru stood to her feet and went down stairs to go and get a drink. When she had entered the kitchen, this time it wasn't empty. Akito was sitting at the table looking at Tohru with her evilness.
"Don't worry, Yuki is still outside…" Akito said as Tohru now walked past him to the fridge.
"W-where is everyone e-else…" she stuttered, now knowing that for some odd reason her fear was coming back.
"I told Shigure and Hatori that I wanted something to eat. And it couldn't be from this house. I would probably get sick from eating something from here. Specially if someone had made it…" Akito said, referring to Tohru.
Tohru had gone to say something, but Kyo had walked in. he was yawning and his eyes were half closed, making it hard for him to see who was in the kitchen.
"I see the monster is here…" Akito said.
This had shot Kyo's eyes open and pointed them directly to where Akito was sitting. He didn't say a word, only stared in contempt. Kyo had so badly wanted to charge after Akito. But something was holding him back. Telling him to just watch what Akito was about to do. Something had told him Akito was up to know good, but just to stay where he was and not move. To just watch what he was up to, and maybe then stop him.
"he isn't a monster…" Tohru said so lowly you could barely hear her. But at the same time when she had said this you were able to hear her that the fear that was lingering inside of her was now fading away again. Her voice was much more firm then before, and her eyes had shown much hatred.
"Why its just a perfect couple. A monster loving none other then a monster. But do you know that not all monsters stay together? They break up eventually…and its always because the bigger monster comes along and breaks them up." At this point Akito had stood to her feet, looking Kyo in the eyes on purpose. "And I think we all know who that bigger monster is,"
Kyo had lunged forwards to Akito, but missed when Akito had sat back down. Kyo had growled like a dog, before cursing at Akito. Tohru watched as the twp argued. Actually is more of just Kyo yelling at Akito for making him miss. And also calling Tohru a monster.
Didn't Akito say that Yuki-kun was outside? If that's true, then how come he didn't come running in when he heard Kyo yelling out Akito's name. I'm sure he would have wanted to of seen what happened. So…now I cant help but wonder what happened to him. Tohru looked over at the front door. She hadn't seen Yuki standing there anymore. But she could have sworn that Akito had said Yuki was still outside. Unless…he had gone to his secret base like Tohru had suggested.
"What would you do if I were to take this monster away from you right now?" Akito asked Tohru, taking her out of the trance she had been in. She looked up at Akito, not knowing what to say. "Hm…silent are we? That's to bad. I thought you would be able to tell me this answer. But I guess I was wrong about that… you are such a little bitc-"
"Don't you dare Akito! If you even think about finishing that sentence I swear I will punch your damn face in!" Kyo threatened.
"Bitch…" Akito said, grinning at Kyo to make him mad.
Kyo had snapped. That was it. He couldn't take it anymore. This was the last thing he was able to handle from Akito. And was going to be the last thing. So he thought anyways. He had lunged forward, knowing that Akito would try to move from it. Only this time he went in the opposite direction of Akito so he would know which way Akito was going to go. Making it easy enough for him to lay a nice punch on her face. Now being able to hit Akito was something anyone never tried, or succeeded in Kyo's part. So it had shocked Akito when she felt Kyo's punch take affect on her face. And only a few seconds later was another one sent right into the other side of her face.
Kyo stopped after getting Akito to the ground. Though it had felt good to Kyo for doing this, he also knew he was going to regret it. Specially now when Akito had started to stand up. Finally being back on her feet she punched Kyo back. Then before either Kyo or Tohru could do anything she scratched his face. Then pushed Tohru to the floor to get her out of the way. Her foot made contact with Kyo's side, sending him to the floor. When Kyo hit the floor, Akito's attention was directly turned to Tohru. She hadn't gotten up yet for some reason. And she wouldn't be any time soon.
Akito's foot then met with Tohru's side just like ti had done only a few nights ago. And being that the pain from that night still flowed around in her body, this had only made it worst. And even more worst when Akito kicked her two more times before stopping. She then kicked Kyo once more to make sure he was knocked out for good. When seeing that he was, and so was Tohru she grinned. She took no time to drag Kyo out of the kitchen and out of the house.
Tohru had woken almost 2 hours later. She was placed on the couch, and Yuki was hovering above her.
"What happened to you? Where is Kyo? Did he do this to you?" Yuki asked when noticing the slightest movement from her.
"KYO!" Tohru shrieked now sitting up. Her hand immediately moved to her side. Her body was acing from the pain that was now making its way along her side. "Akito-san took Kyo. He took Kyo!" She cried out now being able to stand. She hadn't listened to Yuki telling her not to leave. She didn't care about what he had to say. All she was thinking about right now was getting Kyo back from Akito before he had gotten badly hurt.
Yuki ran after her as they ran outside, threw the woods. And all the way to the Sohma's main house. And even with Tohru's wound she hadn't stopped once. Yuki hadn't even been able to catch up to her the whole time. That was until Tohru had finally come to a stop at the Sohma's main residents. Never in her life has she ran so much, for so long, and so far. And with the pain that had been added to her body she hadn't cared. Yuki, who thought she was now insane for running for so long, walked up quietly behind her. She was breathing so heavy that Yuki was sure anytime she would be passing out from the lack of no air. But she hadn't, just kept walking determined to find Kyo.
At one point she had seen Kureno walking by. But he wasn't who she was looking for. Though, she knew that usually where ever he was, Akito was sure to be around. If not with him. Wait a minute… she thought to herself now watching Kureno leave. Why hadn't Akito brought him. Isn't Kureno like his…I don't know. The person that is always loyal to him. AH! What do I care…
Tohru had started to run towards the door that Kureno had left. If by luck, Akito would be in here.
"You know if we get caught, we are going to get in serious danger," Yuki said, showing his existence. Tohru hadn't listened. To be honest, she wanted to be caught. If she was seen in the Sohma's residents wouldn't they bring her strait to Akito. Being that Akito is the head of the house. They shouldn't be aloud to do anything without his permission. But of course luck was not always with everyone, and right now it was not with Tohru. She couldn't find anyone around the Sohma's residents. It was as if Akito knew she was on her way. And wanted her to suffer the thought of not being able to find Kyo. If that was the case, she didn't care. She wasn't going to give up.
The place did have many people living in it. But that still didn't mean it was that big. Yuki had grabbed Tohru's hand.
"Come one, I know where to go. I've been here plenty of times. And if what you say about Akito taking Kyo is true. I know the exact room Akito would be in. The same room I was in for a very long time…"
Tohru stared at Yuki, but let him lead the way.
His eyes had slowly opened. It had been about an hour since everything had happened to him and Tohru. And right now, Tohru was still at the house unconscious. Being watched over by Yuki. It was cold, and black. He couldn't see a thing. At first he didn't know where he was. But then, only about a few minutes later, had he realized he was in the room. It was like a room of Dead Souls to him. No one ever left, no one except Yuki. And right now, Kyo was the Dead Soul being locked into the dreadful room.
He wasn't even going to bother to try and leave. He knew he couldn't, and it had felt like Akito had beaten him more after stuffing him into the room. He knew someone would come after him. More on the line of he knew Tohru would come after him. But he didn't want her to. He wanted her to stay back at Shigures so she didn't get hurt. Or something bad wouldn't happen to her. But then again, if she were to come wouldn't Yuki come as well? He wouldn't just let her run off in a panicking hurry…would he? No, Kyo knew Yuki and he knew he would follow her.
Though for some reason he was wishing Yuki wouldn't follow her either. He had the same feeling that he had when seeing Akito in the kitchen earlier. That something bad was going to happen. But not to him, but to Tohru. Something he knew he was going to regret for the rest of his life.
He tried to stand to his feet. He struggled, but he couldn't. Akito had defiantly did more damage to his body when he was knocked out. For now the pain wasn't just on one side, but both. And he had blood slowly dripping out of the corners of his mouth. He spit to one side, letting blood fly out of his mouth. He then wiped his mouth with his hand. The taste of the nasty blood on his tongue was making him sick. And what was worst was that the room he was in didn't smell to nice. It smelt like mildew and something else he couldn't quiet pick out yet.
He coughed, which had sent pain threw his body. He had tensed up now being that it had seemed to be soothing his pain. Though when he would loosen up, it would only come back again. Then his whole body had just tensed up once again when he was able to hear a door opening, and a familiar voice.
"I thought a monster like you would be able to wake so fast," Akito said standing by the door way.
Kyo tried to look over at him but his eyes just weren't used to the lighting right now so he looked away. He was able to see to figures though. One of course being Akito's. But who was the other one? And why was the other one here of course?
"Now, I think we need to talk you damn monster… I think you know that when Tohru Honda-san is to wake up, she will come looking for you. She does know where I have brought you. Though I don't like to say this, she is a very bright girl on certain things. Maybe not all of course. Because…well she is going to come after you. That right there is a dumb move. And not to bright if I may say so myself. I know you want that damn bitch to stay back at Shigure's. But that wont do her any good, nor you."
"Yeah and what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Kyo asked aggressively now once again trying to struggle to his feet.
"What it I mean is if she were to stay there Hatori would be there. And you know what Hatori is capable of doing. Not only magical healing people because he has a degree in his doctoring life. But also to destroy people. And make other ones suffer because of it. He is like half angel, then…half demon…and where ever Tohru goes, I tell him to go. And he will go. Believe me. Her memory will be lost. Weather you, Yuki, Shigure, Momiji, Haru…ANY OF YOU like IT!"
This had made Kyo able to stand. He staggered towards Akito but was only knocked back down from her. A small grin formed on Akito's face as she lifted her leg.
"Don't Akito," Said someone that Kyo knew.
He looked towards the other figure, now being able to see a little but better. It was Kureno. The one person Kyo should have guessed it was.
"Fine. But this poor little monster should be put out of his misery. No one deserves to go threw this much pain. Both mentally and physically. It must honestly hurt to have to go threw all of this. Knowing that someone you loved wont remember you ever again. Knowing you cant beat a certain someone. So now you are going to suffer in here. All fo this must be killing you slowly and horribly." Akito bent down to Kyo so her mouth was right next to Kyo's ear. "But you know what, I like it. And I will always be here when you get locked away for good. I will make sure your body dies in here…" she whispered into his, sending chills down his back.
"SHUT UP! You dirty son of a bitch!" Kyo's fist met with Akito's face.
And amazingly, Akito had just chuckled. Sure it had hurt her, but she had thought that Kyo was going to die in here. That nothing could save him.
"No one loves a monster, only a monster could love something so…horrible. Just like Tohru Honda-san. She is a monster…and a damn ugly one to!"
"Why the hell are you so jealous of her Akito? I have never in my life seen a guy so jealous of a women. It makes no sense!"
"Hasn't anyone told you yet. I am not a man Kyo. I am indeed a women. My mother made me this way! And because she thought that god could only be a god…look at me now! And there should only be one women in this world to make her family happen. Like a mother making her kids happy. Or in this case, a god making her juunish happy!"
"Happy? Do you honestly think we are happy like this? You keep up cluttered from the damn world! Don't let anyone love! You tell us all that it is forbidden to love! So how do you think that is making us happy…?" Kyo questioned
"Kureno, I want you to leave. Make sure Tohru Honda-san hasn't gotten here yet."
Kureno only nodded and left the room. He walked down the long hallway and outside. There, he was able to see her. He knew she was there. But he didn't want to bring her to Akito. She had helped him once before to with Uo-chan and there little love life they had going on. He had also come to appreciate Tohru's care and help. So he decided to pretend she wasn't even there.
"Now Kyo, what do you think about your little love monster loosing her memory?"
Ok now i no i told you guys that this was going to sort of bring the point to my whole story. But i thought that i the story just brought the point of what it is about. Plus, i just decided to change this chapter around...alot! I also want to say that i think i only have about...hm...3 or more chapters left. Then i will be making a sequal of course.
Please keep reading and reviewing...thanks!
