Chapter 19: School Talk and Blank Stares
Princess Sango
Kyoko smiled as her legs were shaking when she had gotten off of the roller coaster, and Kyo-san had to help her stand straight. Kyoko clung to the arm for awhile until they found a bench to sit down at, "Are you having fun Kyoko?"
"Hai, this is so much fun, I never had this much fun!" she said happily and looked up at him, "So is school fun?"
Kyo shook his head, "You'll have to watch out for boys, and there are too many people who just wouldn't understand."
Kyoko looked solemn, "Really? Mom always told me school was fun, at least the stories I've heard from Uncle Yuki and mom, sometime Momiji and Haru would tell us one, but not many details."
Kyo shook his head, "Why don't we go on something slower or faster, let's have some fun. Don't worry about school yet."
Kyoko smiled as they got up and ran towards another roller coaster ride, ready for the next adventure.
House…
Kyo-kun went looking for his sister, but couldn't find her. When he saw Yuki sitting on the couch he poked him in the side, "Uncle Yuki, where's Kyoko?"
Yuki blinked and then realized he was being talked to, "Oh, she went out with her father."
"Where could she have gone? I thought we weren't aloud outside the estate?" Kyo-kun asked him.
"Well since Akito is dead, I think that rule is void now," Yuki answered, "Do you want to go somewhere?"
Kyo-kun bit his lip, "I want to go somewhere fun Uncle Yuki."
Yuki smiled, "There are lots of fun places for kids like you, just tell me where do you want to go?"
"I don't know, how about…a video arcade?" Kyo-kun asked.
"Okay, go tell your mother so I can go get ready, and tell her to come too," Yuki said as he ruffled his hair and walked back to his room.
Kyo-kun stood up and hurried to go find his mother, and when he did she was in her room, looking out the window but in a daze. Kyo-kun walked inside and crept up behind her, but decided to poke her, "Mom?"
Tohru instantly snapped out of her own private world, "I'm sorry Kyo-kun, what is it?"
"I want to go to an arcade and Yuki said it would be better if the rest of us go," Kyo-kun told her.
"Okay, I'll just go get my shoes on," Tohru said as she stood up and walked over to where her shoes would be.
Kyo-kun smiled and walked to the front door, but his mind was still worried about how his mother was staring off into space.
