Confused on Love

Chapter 2

"Shigure…have you seen Kyo around?"

"I don't know Tohru…knowing him he is probably on the roof like always. Trying to isolate himself from everybody."

"Oh, poor Kyo, I wonder why he is being so distant again? I wonder if there is something bothering him or if there is something on his mind." Thought Tohru.

Tohru was in the kitchen alone eating, some left over rice balls that she made for dinner last night. She loved eating rice balls cause she would make different kinds. She was hoping that Kyo would come down off the roof and talk to her because that is what friends do when something is on the mind or if there is something that is really bothering them.

"I don't understand, Yuki and Shigure come to me when they have something on the mind or just want to talk."

Tohru waited for about another five minutes before she was going to leave for school with Yuki and Uo-Chan. But she was hoping he would come down and talk but there was no sign of Kyo so Tohru just packed her bag and turned around.

"Kyo! You scared me…"

"Yeah whatever…why are you still here? Shouldn't you be at school by now?"

"I was going to leave now…I…I was just waiting for you…"

"For me? Why? I don't go to school! I HATE SCHOOL!"

Tohru had a stunned look on her face and just answered.

"But there are people who want to be friends with you…who what to get to know you…like me for instance."

"I DON'T WANT ANY FRIENDS! I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS!"

"I'm not your friend? Or a friend"

"ER…I DON'T KNOW OKAY!"

Kyo stormed out of the kitchen and disappeared. Tohru at this point didn't know what to think or how she even felt. She started to have tears slowly run down her face.

"Why did he say that? Am I really not a friend? Does he not like me or anyone in that matter?"

"Don't worry about that stupid jerk…he is just a stupid cat."

Tohru turned around fast wiping the tears off her face. It was Yuki standing there in front of the kitchen doorway just smiling and worried at the same time

"Oh good morning Yuki…how are you this morning?"

"I am okay but that doesn't really matter…I am more worried about how you are feeling Tohru. Don't let that stupid ass cat get to you like that. He is just a grumpy loser."

"Oh…that's sweet of you Yuki…but I am still worried for Kyo."

"Don't be…that dumb cat doesn't have any feelings. That's why he is always grumpy and rude…you shouldn't worry about him."

Tohru and Yuki stayed silent for a few seconds looking at each other. Tohru started to blush and started to walk out the kitchen and Yuki just followed smiling. Tohru, Yuki, and Uo-Chan all walked together down the pathway. Kyo watched from the roof top of the house. He had mixed feelings at this point. He felt bad for the way he had treated Tohru in the kitchen earlier.

He was also feeling frustrated because he is the year of the cat. He just couldn't decide whether he liked Tohru or if he didn't like her. He just sat on the roof and thought for hours hoping he would have an answer to how he was feeling.

"Maybe I should leave again to the mountains and train so that I can get my mind off of all this crap that is just bothering the hell out of me. Why is Tohru so worried about me anyway? I have a feeling she just wants me to talk to her and not feel scared to talk to her. But I don't want to talk to her damn it! I DON'T! She is nice to me though. I don't know why I am being such an asshole to her. I am going to TRY and apologize to her when she gets back from school."
