LYRICS IN CHAPTER (c) The Unicorns
Bold italics not in dialogue signifies lyrics... baka.
A/N: Uh, sometimes... when I type an exclamation point "!" followed by a question mark "?" or vice versa, only one of them shows... so let's both improvise. But if my story actually stays intact once I submit it, I'll be happy!

Tell me about your love affairs
"I can't... get her out of my head," Kyo growled. "She's so... cute. So goddamn addictive... it's almost like she's a drug, and I can't get enough of her..." He curled his fingers into fists and grinded his knuckles against the Sohma household's roof, upon which he had been sitting for hours, watching the summer night sky.
"This girl took my heart and she doesn't even know it," he said, gazing at the small puddle of blood forming beneath his clenched fist. "But... why? Why does this have to happen to me? I don't deserve these stupid emotions..."
Tell me about your moral resignation...
"Gah, what time is it, anyway?" he yawned and asked himself, and was surprised (and a bit pissed) that he received an answer.
"It's 6:17 in the morning, Kyo-kun," an aloof Shigure called up to him.
"Thank y - WHAT THE HELL! SHIGURE!" he screamed, and practically lunged at the smirking older man, tackling him to the ground.
"Ah... Kyo, I appreciate your open affection for me, but this is not the place, nor is it the... time," he managed to say through fits of laughter.
"YOU DUMBASS!" he shrieked, and an angry flock of birds erupted from a nearby tree, chattering amongst themselves what sounded like 'jerk.' "HOW MUCH HAVE YOU HEARD?"
Uh-oh, uh-oh, tell me about your love affairs
"I gave you the time, correct? One would assume that is all I have heard, ne? Being the nice guy that I am -- "
"Stupid dog!"
" -- unlike you -- "
"IDIOT!"
" -- I appealed to your request, only to get aerially assaulted."
I want to know all the lurid details
Kyo had suddenly noticed the uncomfortable position he was in (after all, being on top of a known pervert like Shigure in a dew covered, grassy patch of land wasn't the most enjoyable thing for a heterosexual male... especially when he was fuming over a female love interest), he quickly got up and ran towards the Sohma house. "If that's all you heard," he panted before entering the house, "then consider yourself a lucky bastard!"
I want to die today
And make love with you in my grave
"Lucky, indeed," Shigure mused to himself, adjusting his robes and putting a hand through his flawless, smooth hair. "It seems my little Kyon-chan is in love!" he cried, and clasped his hands together, letting out a blissful sigh.
"Oh, how sweet."
Is this love of ours a lie?
Is it killing me alive?
Is this love of ours a lie?
Is it chemically derived to ascertain
And sequester the pain
Is this love of ours a lie?
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Meanwhile, Tohru Honda was cooking up a storm in the Sohma's kitchen.
I dove into that freezing sea
With the parasite attached to me
I had hoped the salt below
Would divorce what was wed above.
"Tohru, you're going to make yourself sick again!" Kisa worried.
"I have to make it up to the Sohmas!" she cried. "Being sick isn't an excuse... it doesn't cut it! They're letting me live here when they don't even have to, so I have to make myself useful, right?"
"I guess... but not as much as you have been doing lately!" said Kisa. "I would help you cook... but I don't know how, and Haru would be so angry if I got hurt..."
"Well, if you're that concerned, could you at least bring me those leeks from the table?"
But league after league
It yet remained
For the fleshy vessel I
Kept it sustained.
"Sure!" Kisa-chan jumped up happily, only to have a strong hand grip her by the shoulder. "AIIEEEE!" she gasped, and piveted around on her heels. Kyo looked at her, bent down and smiled weakly, realeasing his grip when he received a semi-stricken smile back. Tohru turned around to see why Kisa had yelped.
"Leeks, Tohru?"
And so we froze a while surrounded by one big tear
Which only reminded me of a former home...
"K.. Kyo!" she gasped, and her face went red. "Gosh... I'm SO sorry. I forgot you hated leeks! I must have really been sick to forget that...! Oh... oh no..."
"Tohru... it's okay," he muttered. "People forget, and make mistakes. It's human..."
"No, it's not okay! I'll cook something else, Kyo-k-kun... whatever you want t-tonight, I'll make!" She was furiously stumbling over her words and her face was completely flustered.
"...Okay." He didn't bother to oppose the offer - everyone knew this girl was only out to please and be accepted.
But we weren't welcome,
The sea made that clear
By filling us with saline
And sailing us blue, back into
The atmosphere.
She grinned at him, and he sat down. Kyo and Kisa chatted, almost like they were old friends catching up on eachother's lives after a long time of being apart. Kyo was just hungry and had nothing else to do, but Kisa was actually indulging into the chat.
"So, Kyo... do you have a special person?"
"...What?" The little girl's question had been like a kick in the face. His interest in this conversation immediately dropped to zero.
"You heard me," Kisa laughed. "I have Hiro, so who do you have, Kyo-kun?"
"You choked as you surfaced, tangled in seaweed."
"Kisa! That's being nosy!" Tohru called from behind a large pot.
"Oh, Kyo! I'm sorry! I just - "
Kyo got up from the table, looking rather irritated. He glanced over at Tohru before jetting out of the room, without a word. Tohru became glassy-eyed, and Kisa followed suit.
"Tohru-kun... what did I do? What happened...? Is Kyo-kun angry at me..?"
"Kyo is just... I don't know, Kisa. He really gets me sometimes..."
"But... Tohru, do you have anyone special like that?"
"N-no, Kisa." Tohru began retrieving soup bowls and chopsticks from the drawers and cabinets. Kisa placed her head gently on the table. "Kisa..." The girl looked up, cheeks flushed.
"Kisa, you are very lucky to have Hiro, you know that?" Tohru smiled. "Since he's also part of the zodiac, you can love him to your heart's content... he won't transform..."
"Tohru-kun?"
"Yes?" She began placing bowls on the table.
"Do you think Kyo-kun might be your special person?"
"..."
But what remained
Of the driving intent
That led me to tract such watery depths?
Many things have betrayed me
Between there and here
And my memory is so fucking unclear.
As Kyo climbed back up to his thinking spot on the roof, clenching his fists and grinding them into it once again, he could have sworn he heard the sound of a porcelain bowl break, and a small voice cry out, "Oh, Tohru...! I'm sorry..."
Who was I with? What time was it? Where did you go?
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

End of chapter one.
I like this, and I actually have a plot in mind, so I think I'm really going to stick with it.
Oyasumi-nasai! ..It's 12:25 AM. Heh.
Tell me if I should continue.
