Chapter 14
----Hi to everyone! Thanks for reviewing and supporting my story. It will be over soon and all of your questions ( I hope) will be answered. Have fun!----
A suicidal note? Why?
Yuki ran outside the main house, clutching the note in his hand. "Honda- san, you can't just..kill yourself.." he whispered.
-----------------------
"Oe, we're too far away from the main house. Maybe we should go back." Haru warned him. Kyou didn't seem to hear him. He just kept on observing his surroundings.
It was getting dark, even though it's 2:00 in the afternoon. Rain clouds are getting thicker and, of course, since there were rain clouds, there's rain.
"Did you just hear what I said?" the cow growled at him. "It's going to rain. And we are outside the main house. So.. there's a great possibility that we're going to get wet! RIGHT???"
It was too late. Soon, small droplets came then it was a quick downpour. Kyou didn't notice it because he was too busy looking for something.
"Hey! It already----"
"Did you hear that?" Kyou asked suddenly.
"What?"
"Did you hear something? It's in the forest. Just right there." He pointed towards the road to Shigure's house. "Someone's running."
"So what? Maybe that's Yuki on his way home." All of a sudden, Kyou ran towards that direction. "Hey! Where are you going?"
"I heard somebody.." Kyou wondered. "Somebody weakly running. I have to find out who that is. It might be----" Then he stopped.. and stared a body struggling weakly in a nearby rock.
"Tohru." He whispered. Tohru looked behind her and stared at him. She gave him grin but somehow, it's weak and unnatural. "What are you doing----"
"I'm not just the person.. you expected me to be, Kyou-kun.." she spoke softly. She tried the stand up but the road was slippery and also (yes I said it a lot of times) weak to stand.
Kyou kneeled beside her and held her tightly against him. She was shoving him off but Kyou resisted. "You should be taken to Hatori.. or maybe, to the hospital."
"No.leave me." She said.
"But you're hurt. You need medicine. Be strong Tohru. You'll be okay---"
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE TO DIE!!!!" Her voice rang with the thunder. She slid back to the rock and wept bitterly.
What should I do? Kyou asked himself.
"Just leave me here." She whispered. "I didn't deserve to live.. I was born to die, anyway."
"So, you said the same thing Akito said (last episode)" Yuki appeared behind Tohru. "You're just going to die then. What are you going to say next? Nobody cares about you?"
"Why? Did anybody cared about me? After what I heard Hatori talking with the police on the other end, do you think I should believe you?!" she said.
"You heard.." Yuki whispered. "But that doesn't mean we are all at it. To tell you the truth, we are all against Akito."
"Liar"
"How come you're like that?" Kyou asked.
"This is what I should act, right? I'm the clan head and I should be strict and immoral, just like Akito." She grinned. "I'm just not the person you're expecting me to be."
"Why are like this?" Haru asked.
"What do you mean? I already answered the question."
"Your eyes are swelling." Kagura said.
"I-I didn't get enough sleep." She replied.
"No, that's not sleep." Kyou observed. "You were crying, aren't you?"
"No..." she startled. "I won't be crying."
"Honda-san." Yuki kneeled beside her. "Don't lie to us. For almost a year and a half, you lived with us and we already observed your ways. You were crying.. so don't lie." His hand touched her cheek. She stared at him, this time, in an innocent manner.
"Ne, the weather's getting worse out here. Maybe we should go back." Haru suggested as he smoothen his wet shirt.
"Hai. Maybe we should go back home." Kagura smiled. "Go back at Shigure's house---"
"Please no." she said quickly. "I should go back to the main house."
"But, somebody should go with you." Kagura suggested. "You're sick and you need some help."
"I can manage." She resisted in a higher tone. She got up but with the help of Kyou's support. "Okay, maybe I need someone."
"I'm coming." Yuki said quickly. He looked at Kyou. "You can come too, baka neko."
"Kuso...Kuso NEZOMI!!!" He was about to kick his ass but Kagura gave him a stern look, warning him not to. He soon calmed down. "Hai, I'll be coming too..but that doesn't mean we're friends, Yuki!"
"Suit yourself---" Yuki stopped and glanced at Tohru. He couldn't believe what his eyes saw.
Tohru was giggling.. not mysteriously but happily and innocently.
"Tohru." Kyou whispered.
"..sorry if I giggled. It's just that...I haven't seen Kyou-kun and Yuki- kun fight like that." Then she continued giggling until her body was too weak to support her. She began to collapse but Kyou caught her.
"We should get out of here. Make sure Hatori won't let the police arrest Tohru" Kyou said.
"Okay, be careful" Kagura waved before they ran back home.
-----------------------------------
"Oh, my..I haven't entered this house in years." Kyou sounded amazed. Yuki cleared his throat to catch his attention.
"Maybe you should find spare clothes in the servant's room---"
"SERVANT CLOTHES??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME????" Kyou shouted.
"Well, you're soaking wet. In case you get sick, I won't be taking care of you." Yuki explained sternly.
"I know but..servant clothes?" Kyou asked
"Ne." Tohru struggled to talk normally. "Use Hatori's spare clothes. It's just a room away."
"Now that's better." Kyou left the room. Yuki guided Tohru towards Akito's room and laid her in a futon.
"Are you okay? Do you need anything, Honda----"
"Please Yuki. Stop calling me that." Tohru smiled at him. "I'm already part of your clan, right?"
He smiled back. "Hai, if that's what you wished for, Tohru-kun. So, do you really need anything?"
"Nothing..I'm just happy that you're here near me." She reached out her hand and clutched his hand. "Maybe you should change your clothes. You too are soaking wet."
"I just can't leave you here. I'll wait for baka neko to come back."
"Yuki?"
"Hai?"
"Am I really that bac in front of Hatori?" she asked.
"Ne, don't think about it. You'll be fine and Hatori will forgive you. Get some rest, okay?" he suggested.
"Arigato, Yuki-kun." Then she fell asleep.
