Chapter 5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Ei, guys, here I am again. The fifth chapter and sort of the middle part of the story. I read one of the reviews which I found quite interesting: Let Tohru kiss one of them. I've been thinking real hard about this and maybe.. this chapter might be a little romantic. I maybe won't be writing after this because my grades will be shown soon and.. well, I might get grounded, I suppose. Let's not waste time talking about my grades. Have fun in this chapter... To all Yuki and Tohru fans.. get ready for I won't be saying anything ^_^
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
Tohru stood in front of her mother's grave. It was a dark afternoon and she had been very confused lately. After the number of instances that happened, she didn't know what to believe. Yuki hugged her intentionally and Kyou caught her accidentally and both of them didn't transform. But they were Sohmas and she was forced to believe that they were cursed by the Jyunishi. Just by hugging them, they will change into their respective animal forms.
But this.. she didn't knew why this is happening. I mean, it was good, the curse wasn't effecting and they could live in a normal life. But still..
Osaka, why am I not happy?, she wondered, Why am I like this, confused and afraid? I used to be someone that can cheer up others and give them hope but.. I myself am hopeless.
"Tohru.." She became petrified when she heard that mysterious voice. She started swinging her hands around and finally hit somebody.
"Relax, Tohru-kun, it's me!" Momiji said. "Geez, I didn't know that you are afraid of ghosts!"
"Momiji! How do you know this place?" Tohru asked and Momiji smiled.
"Yuki-kun was beginning to worry about you. He hasn't seen you with Uo-chan and Hana-chan. I asked him 'where else could we find her?' and he answered, somewhere peaceful to..what's the word?... I forgot but I think it means to understand what you saw..or something like that. So I asked Shigure about this and he said that maybe you are with your mother because you want to ask for her guidance so I asked where is it then it led me here." He started to catch his breath after the long statement.
"Boy, that was long. Anyway, he wants you to come home as soon as possible. It's going to get dark very soon and the forest will be dangerous if that happens so.. are you still with me, Tohru-kun?" Momiji asked.
"Hai. I'll be leaving in a minute." Tohru said forcing herself to smile.
"Okay, just tell me when you are ready, and we'll be walking home together. I'll be waiting outside." He then left Tohru.
"Osaka, I don't know anything about this.. anti-curse thing but I won't let it hinder my studies. I'll continue until I graduate!" she said, imitating the "oath" position.
Soon they already left and on the way, they met Kyou. He was sort of grumpy, after what he saw in the school of course. And Tohru didn't knew about this.
"Ohayo! Kyou-kun!" Tohru greeted but he gave her a serious and offending look. "Go home. It'll rain soon." He said ignoring her warm greeting.
"Where will you be going? You should go home too, you know!" Momiji screeched and this pissed him off. "Hey, you, even though I'm a cat, I can still kill you in this form." He raised his fist and was about to punch the poor defenseless rabbit until Tohru hugged Momiji to protect him from Kyou's attack.
Now guess what happened next..
First, Momiji transformed and turned into a yellow bunny, which is unusual nowadays and second, Kyou punched Tohru instead of Momiji, knocking her half conscious.
Not to mention the big mark on her head.
She fell onto her knees and did no reaction. She just sat there, silently. "Tohru-kun???? Daijobu??" Momiji asked while rocking her from side but there was no response. "Did you know what you just did?!?!?!"
"I.." Kyou was speechless. He didn't care that they were in the middle of the forest and it was really dark. He can't think for a better reason why he did that.
"Can you just help me carry her? It might rain soon..." Momiji became silent once he saw Kyou carrying her, alone. and he didn't transform as usual. "W-what's goin on? Why aren't you-"
"Don't tell anybody, especially that rat. Only Tohru knew about this and maybe it would cause her more confusion. It much better like this so she won't freak out or anything." He said while looking at her innocent and bare face. "So, are you open your big mouth about this?"
"No, if it would worry Tohru-kun more-"
"Good. Now let's hurry home before that Yuki does."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
"Aah, Yuki-kun, you're home-"
"Shigure, where's Tohru?!" he quickly asked. He had a worried expression on his face. "She's upstairs."
"What time did she arrive?"
"Few hours ago. Momiji and Kyou accompanied her." After he heard the name, he turned around and walked toward his room. On the way, he bumped Hatsuharu who noticed Yuki's very unfamiliar expression.
"Gomen, Haru-san-"
"Maybe you should let go of this...president thing in school. You look paler and paler everyday. I suggest you should take a rest while you assign this job in school to somebody else." He suggested blankly as he kept on walking to the kitchen.
'If you just knew, Haru-san, how much time I took to Tohru. I skipped everything even the school meetings just to know of she's okay... after I showed to her that.. I'm free from that curse.' He sadly thought to himself. 'Now that cat just won again..'
He went to his room and sat on his bed. (even though I haven't seen his room yet. ^_^), thinking about what he should do next.
I must apologize to her.. because I made her worry about me..
He got up and went to Tohru's room. He stopped at her door and thought about what is he going to say. Suddenly he felt his heart beating fast.
'Why am I thinking like this? She's a friend of mine in school. But I'm thinking of her as something else.. in my life. Stop it Yuki, just apologize, talk for a moment and leave.' He thought to himself. He gathered u[ all his guts, took a deep breath and went inside her room.
"Tohru-------" he began but...
Gasp
That was the only thing he could do for a second.
The next second, he was raged.
He saw Kyou and the trapped, helpless Tohru on the corner of the room and their faces were inches apart. 'He kissed her... no he didn't, I'm in the nick of time. But still..." He saw tears fell on Tohru's eyes.. 'He did something...' Yuki thought.
Kyou backed off once he saw Yuki come in. "Don't you even know how to knock, RAT?!?" That was supposed to be a joke. But instead, this made Yuki become angrier. He ran towards his rival and kicked him hard in the stomach.
Since this is anime, it'll be a little more impossible. He sent Kyou flying through the window and to the Sohma's backyard. But the fight wasn't over yet. Yuki went outside and the fight continues.
Momiji and Shigure went upstairs to Tohru's room. She still sat there doing nothing..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Meanwhile, the battle outside was almost over.
Kyou can't move anymore because of the continuous punches. Yuki can't go on anymore because Hatsuharu prevented him from doing anything. "Yuki, stop it now!"
"Let me go, HARU-SAN! That darn cat just did something to Tohru!" he struggled free and began to choke Kyou.
"N...nothing..happ..happened." Kyou said as she gasped for air. Yuki began to loosen his grip. "What did you say?" Yuki asked.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=* flashback (in Kyou's mind) *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=
"Gomen, Tohru-kun.." he said as he bowed slightly and begged for her apology. She reached out and lay a hand on his head. He could feel her soft and warm touch.
"It's okay, Kyou-kun. I know that you didn't really mean what happened." She spoke softly but Kyou still heard her. He went closer to her and held her hands.
"What can I do in return?"
"N-nothing, Kyou-kun! I just forgave you. It's natural for me to do that." She said.
"But.. what I did. leaves a mark."
"But that mark can disappear soon." She explained while she pointed at the injured part. She smiled the silly smile again. "I'm okay, Kyou-kun. Everything will be okay-"
"No, it won't. Ever since this curse disappeared, you became a little bit luckless." He said as he gazed at Tohru's innocent eyes. "I guess this will be the most unforgettable day in my life."
"Hai. I thought so too. Since your whole life is cursed, maybe---"
"No, you though it wrong. Now, my life is not cursed, because. you are here with me." He cornered her and placed his hands on her shoulders. "That's why, right now, promise me, don't freak out or anything.. because.. I'm going to leave a mark on you that you can't remove forever."
A permanent mark? Tohru was worried. What permanent mark?
Then Kyou leaned forward for a kiss. Their lips touched and soon, they were accepting each other's kiss, It was simple yet Tohru can feel that this kiss was neither scripted nor by force. The kiss was somewhat deep as Kyou leaned forward for more.
'Osaka.this is the real Kyou-kun..' she thought. When the kiss was over, she blushed in deep shades of red while Kyou smiled. "I want you to remember me like this... Not the rough and violent one, but this one."
Tears fell on her eyes. "Kyou..kun.." Then he leaned for another kiss but suddenly, the door opened and there was Yuki..
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
'If Yuki wasn't there, I could spend more time with her.'
"What did you just said?" Yuki asked. It began to rain and soon, the three of them were soaking wet.
"Nothing happened.." he said while looking in a different direction.
"Listen to me, baka neko. Stay..away..from her.." he said slowly. "I don't want you to be that close to her again, UNDERSTAND?!"
Silence.
"Yuki-kun, we need to go back inside the house." Haru-san said. Both of them went onside, leaving Kyou soaked under the dark and rainy atmosphere.
"I was supposed to do that to keep her worries away." He said to himself. "But what I just did.. did not made her worry but instead.. it made her cry.."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
Ahh, done at last. So, to explain it again, in Yuki's thought, there was no kiss but he didn't knew that the kiss was over when he came in. So that was a jackpot point for Kyou. And he's both happy and sad about this. I may not be a Kyou fan but I'm very romantic in my stories.
That's it. So this story from now on, will be General/Romance PG 13 story (because of the kissing part.) I haven't thought what Yuki's going to do next but.. let's just see what will happen. Please R&R!!!
By the way, I already got my card and (ta-dah!!) I'm not grounded! All my grades went up by one point. All because of the inspiration I get from Fruits Basket ^_^.
