Hey everyone, these are some more notes to specific people. Oh, and something to all of you, aorry for the type-os. LOL. :)
mea14: In the last chapter Kyo confessing his love was not a day dream, it really happened, just as it did with Yuki. :)
TigerFantasy: Hey, I left a note a while back that this ended where the anime did, yes I have read all of the mangas so far but I just chose to do this fic after the anime. Anyway, they do call Hatori "Hari" in the anime, just to let you know.
phantomthiefdarkmousy: I did read your fic, as you know, that has that simliar "Kyo spotting the kiss" scene and I have to admit I did get the IDEA from you but the way mine works out it has a totally different purpose, so I'm not officially copying you, I would never dream of it. LOL. I hope you don't think I was stealing one of your ideas. I also didn't have Tohru spot Kyo and that's important. You'll see as you read. :)
Chapter 8
They love me? Both of them? Oh, but they couldn't, they deserve someone much better than me, both of them. Oh, if they do this is horrible, how could I choose? How could I tell one that I loved the other, even though I do. I didn't mean to fall in love with him, I couldn't help it. I could never tell him how I feel now knowing that they both love me.
Tohru went over these thoughts again and again as she finished up the dishes. Her situation seemed so bleak when it should have been filled with joy. Her first thoughts were wonderful at the thought that they both loved her. Now she suddenly realized how horrible it was. She sighed deeply when she turned to see Shigure watching her from the doorway.
"Oh, Shigure, I didn't know you were there," she said immediately, putting on a fake smile. He chuckled.
"Tohru, Tohru, you seem uneasy tonight, are you still upset because Kyo didn't eat his dinner?" Shigure asked, referring to the previous meal. Kyo hadn't eaten a bite the whole meal and Tohru thought it had something to do with his dream and the oncoming sickness she was dreading.
"No, well, yes, I mean, yes and no," she stuttered.
"What else is bothering you?" he asked.
"Well, many things actually," she admitted, hanging her head.
"They told you, huh?" he asked with a grin. She just simply nodded.
"Yes, they told me," she said.
"I knew it was bound to happen sometime, I just didn't know how you'd react," he said. She nodded.
"Oh, Shigure, I don't know what to do," she cried, bursting into tears. At that very moment Shigure longed to wrap his arms around the girl and comfort her, but the curse prevented it. He felt so useless and was at a loss of words for a moment for the first time in his life.
"Well, uh, Tohru, I-I don't know what advice to give you," he stuttered solemnly as she continued to sob.
Kyo sat huddled up on his bed, locked in his room since dinner. He hadn't eaten anything despite the incessant pleas of Tohru. He didn't even know what to feel, whether it be anger, disgust, or betrayal. All he could think about was the picture he had seen of Tohru and Yuki, their lips against each others.
It's that damn rat's fault! he thought. He couldn't think about it anymore, he had to stop his brain. He decided not to say anything to Tohru about what he had seen and he even decided not to mention it with Yuki, he didn't want to think about it anymore.
"Hatori, what brings you here?" Kazuma asked as he turned to see the stiff doctor entering the dojo.
"Kazuma, I have important news," Hatori said, getting right to the point.
"Yes?" he asked, his eyes growing with concern as he read Hatori's face filled with worry.
"It's happened," he said. Kazuma just looked at the man, confused.
"What?" he asked.
"Kyo and Tohru came to me with a dream he had a few days ago," Hatori said.
"A dream?" Kazuma asked worriedly.
"About the two dancing as children," he finished.
"A coincidence," Kazuma replied with fear in his eyes.
"It was too detailed," Hatori said, shaking his head.
"What did you tell them?" Kazuma asked.
"That it was just a dream," Hatori said.
"Good," Kazuma sighed.
"We can't keep it from them forever, if Kyo continues to have these dreams then we'll have to tell him," Hatori said.
"What about Tohru?" Kazuma asked.
"I don't think it's necessary to tell her unless she starts having dreams too," Hatori replied as Kazuma nodded. "We should have known this would happen."
"I should have known, of all people. Kyo's strong," Kazuma said.
"Tohru is too. She accepted Kyo in his true form, I assume she'll probably start having dreams too," Hatori predicted.
"Well, all we can do is wait and see," Kazuma sighed. "What about Akito, you know this was his whole plan, are you going to tell him?"
"Not yet, Akito's going through some emotional trauma, I might as well wait until I think it's best," Hatori said. "Plus, I don't want them to get hurt if I can help it."
