Chapter 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
Oky, this is the third part. Now, this is about Kyou. I don't admire Kyou that much (I'm a Yuki fan ^_^) so if you Yuki fans out there thought that my disapproval to Kyou made this fic really long guess what? I JUST GOT CURED FROM WRITER'S BLOCK! So Spare me. (my statement a while ago is quite awkward, don't you think?) Anyways, let's just go on with the story.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
After that sort of fall in the pit, and also after Tohru awakened during lunchtime, she miraculously earned nothing but a scratch on her forehead. But, Yuki was still worried about her. Even though he tried not to and Tohru tried to encourage him that she's okay, Yuki felt that something's wrong. But he was relieved that Tohru wasn't awake at that time, or else, she might get worried why Yuki didn't transform.
The nurse asked Tohru to take a rest because the scratch on the forehead might lead to another signs. Tohru understood and asked Yuki if he could write down what they did while she's on the clinic. Yuki agreed.
Then.... It was dismissal.
Momiji asked Tohru's friends of they could play badminton again. They agreed but somehow they lack players.
"Where's Kyou-kun?" Uotani asked. "I haven't seen him all day." But somehow, nobody manages to answer that question.
"It's okay like this. Kyou-kun might hurt me again if hit him again in this game." Momiji answered back. He was really eager to play but suddenly, he noticed that Hatsuharu dropped his racket. "Haru-kun, you just let go of your racket. Pick it up and we'll play!"
"I'm going to find Kyou.."
"What? Haru-kun, please don't find him. If you do, I'll get squished again. Please don't-" Momiji began but stopped as soon as he saw Hatsuharu's "black" figure beside him. He began to feel scared as the white-head stared at him mysteriously. "W-What I'm trying to say is... You won't go anywhere w/o me around. Let's go find Kyou!" Momiji said, just to get his eyes out of Hatsuharu.
"That's better. now let's go." Haru said then he turned his head to Uo- chan. "Let's play again some other time, okay?" he said blankly as he and Momiji walked away.
"You know, Kyou can find his way home on his own, right? He's a cat. A cat has keen senses of direction. Why should we find him anyway?" Momiji asked quickly then he ducked down, expecting that Haru-kun will give him the evil stare again. Instead, he answered back calmly.
"It's for Tohru's sake."
"What?"
"Yuki told me what happened the day before and today. She was worried about Kyou and her mind was very busy before she would even think that she already fell in a pit. Yuki was really worried about her." Haru said then noticed that Momiji began to giggle. "Now, what's wrong Momiji? That giggle is weird."
"You are not really doing this for Tohru. Instead, you are doing this for Yuki!" Momiji smiled widely at him. "You are worried of Yuki because he's worried too much about Tohru, right?"
Hatsuharu didn't answer. Instead he saw the classroom 2-D open and Yuki was inside... With some other girls watching him. Then he continued on walking. But to tell you the truth..
Momiji was right. in case you were wondering....
-------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm fine, Sohma-kun. It's just a scratch." Tohru said the 30th time as she cooked in the kitchen with Kagura. Yuki stared at her doing nothing. Then he felt a pat on his head as Shigure came in.
"Ah, Yuki-kun, give it a rest, kay? Tohru-kun is just fine. Look at her, she's making our dinner now." Shigure sniffed the warm and delicious atmosphere in the kitchen. "Mmm. smells good. I wonder what are we going to eat today."
"We were just boiling the potatoes, dummy." Kagura said as she diced the carrots. "We thought of having shrimp rolls and vegetables to-"
"Oh my god! Shrimp rolls! SHRIMP! I forgot shrimp! Tohru said as she quicly walked out of the kitchen and hurriedly wore her shoes.
"Where are you going"
"I forgot shrimp. I need to but one before it gets dark." Tohru said.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Yuki asked. Tohru paused for a moment. Yuki. Yuki was always there for her. What happened today won't happen again, she said to herself. I'll do it on my own. w/o Yuki.
"No, I can manage.." Then she left the Sohmas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
"There you are." Haru-san said as he found Kyou hanging out in the tree far from She-chan's house. "I haven't seen you in school today."
"I'm not in a good mood, COW.." Kyou said as he stared at his cousin and soon, he jumped out in shock (or maybe in anger.) "MOMIJI! Why are you still wearing that girl's uniform??? Haven't they found out yet?"
"Don't be so predictive, Kyou-kun. Besides, I have a 'bodyguard' with me" Then he pointed Hatsuharu, who was no mood for that statement.
"Anyway, that girl was looking for you all day. You might as well want to visit her." He began. Kyou still stared at the clouds doing nothing. He still remembered that day. and he blurted out that he cared for her.. that he kept on saying to himself that he would treat her better than anyone else... that he said that she would be okay if he's with her-
"Hello?!?!?! Earth to Kyou!!!!" Momiji joked out but this time, Kyou jumped down from the tree, which made Momiji hide behind Haru's back. "Spare me, will you?"
"Why would I visit her? She's okay with that. rat anyway."
"You really don't like to say Yuki's name, huh." Haru snickered.
"It's an insult for me to respect his NAME" Kyou answered.
"Well it's much better that O-U-T-C-A-S-T"
"Shut up, Momiji." Both guys answered back. Then Haru started again. "I don't have any idea what you said to her the day before but whatever it is, it is the cause of her fall."
"Meaning, she fell into a pit w/o her knowing.. that it's a pit." Momiji completed the story. Kyou stared both at the rabbit and the cow. The story sounds real but he didn't completely believed it so Haru didn't see any change of expression in his face.
"Seems like you don't care." Haru said as last.
"Why? Is it real?" Kyou said as he walked away.
.......
"Why didn't you change into black Hatsuharu? You looked for him the whole afternoon and now, he doesn't even care on what you said." Momiji protested.
"I'm really a little tired now, Momiji.. Can we go home?" Haru said
"Uh. okay.." Momiji said as the two of them walked together. 'Tohru-kun, you're the only evidence that will prove everything what happened... I hope Kyou sees what he missed..' Momiji said to himself.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
Nightfall it is when Kyou wandered around the busy streets. He thought about what Haru just said. He don't really believed on that story.
Well, partially though..Until..
"I must hurry home. It's getting late." Tohru said as she hurried out of the market where Kyou passed by a while (or a second) ago. He turned around and saw the kind and heartwarming Honda Tohru, carrying a small bag of groceries. Without hesitation, he ran after her, like he was an assassin hunting a princess.
It was long before he reached her completely and this made Tohru spun around. "Kyou-kun! Where have you been? We've been waiting for you this morning and-"
"You've been wasting your time." Kyou said as he grinned at her. "I wasn't really back there.." His voice trailed off. He stared at Tohru's face whereon her forehead was a small bandage. He reached out to touch it but somehow, Tohru took a step backward, coming to her senses that he already knew about the pit story.
"I'm fine." she said calmly.
"I didn't say anything." Kyou answered uncaringly. They stood there for a while. Then a rush of cool night breeze came, making Tohru shiver.
"You shouldn't be here at this time of the night."
"I was just buying shrimps for dinner.."
"Then let's go back.." Kyou said as he started walking. ". What are you standing there for? You still need to cook dinner, you know!"
"H-Hai!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
They were walking silently. Getting straight to the point, Kyou was bored. 'I wish I could say something.' Kyou thought. "Um, so. you went out alone.. Without that.. Prince of yours. That's so. different."
"I didn't because. I don't want him to worry that much." Tohru answered shyly. "He did a lot of things in school and. I don't want to add up to his burden."
Kyou was startled for a while. 'so. what Haru said was really true.' he clenched his fists trying to get to the subject.. "Did I...."
"Huh?"
"Did I...made you worry in anyway?" He said with "his fingers crossed". Tohru stared at him. He was serious but he did not dare look at her. Instead, he looked at his feet, like he was looking for something in the ground.
"No.. not that really..I mean, maybe."
"I was the main reason why you got that scratch in your forehead, right? You fell into the pit because you were thinking about me, right? Because I made you worried and I didn't show up first thing in the morning, right?" He asked these questions in a gradual tone. Tohru stopped at her tracks, hoping that she didn't made him angry or anything because of her clumsiness..but she was silent.
Kyou finally stared at her. She was both confused and convinced. He then regained his natural voice and talked again calmly. "Look. if you think that I'm involved in that accident, I'm sorry, okay?"
"Okay" Tohru answered back.
"And also, don't go anywhere with that rat in the forest. He might as well get both of you lost. Remember, don't trust a rat in navigation. A rat always guessens where to go. Got that?" Kyou said briefly.
Tohru smiled. "Hai!" 'At last, she smiled again', Kyou said to himself. "Shall we get going then?" as he started walking.
"Hai---!!!!!!" The road was damp and slippery that night which made Tohru lose he balance. She grabbed Kyou in the nick of time but, he wasn't a good support. He wasn't ready when that happened so they both fell on the cold ground. Tohru was on top of Kyou, meaning she hugged him. In the middle of the sidewalk..
Guess what? Same thing happened. Kyou didn't transform. But this time, Tohru witnessed it.
"Why?.. How?" Tohru said confusingly. And Kyou was also in doubt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So how was it? Hahaha! Now that's a relief. I did this after I did my book report and I was so happy in reached up to 5 pages! By the way, this is longer than I suspected, really. Thanks for all the people who told me about writer's block. Here I am! I'M CURED MAN!!! Anyway, Tohru found out about Kyou's "untransformation" and I was thinking maybe it wasn't right. You'll be the judge anyway. Please R&R!!!!
Ei, to all the readers out there, I was thinking about a good partner of Ayame. (girl or boy) My friend said that it should be Shigure. What do you think? Please suggest and review!!!!
