Yuki's POV
Y'know how it feels to feel alone? To feel scared? Angry? Rejected? Lost and Betrayed? To feel that you're completely and utterly hated, in a world full of fakes and liars? To bed fed lies by people you completely and utterly trusted to be there for you? Who told you they loved you, and would always be there…only to find out they fed you lies and used you? Then maybe you can relate to me somehow…and, if not…well then; here is my Story…
I don't know how it happened, really…to tell you the truth. I don't even know why, though I guess one can say that it was a major twist of destiny. (Not that I believe that one has a set destiny since the day they were born) But, I guess there is nothing I can do a bout it now. Destiny's wheel has turned, and I cannot go back now. No matter how much all of me wish to do just that…
I'd fallen in love with the one person I'd hated. The one who caused the next few months of my life to be a living hell. And that one person was Kyo Souma. The cat of the Zodiac. He's the one that should be rejected. The one to feel lost and hated, betrayed. Not me, I didn't do anything wrong. It was him…it was all him!
But…
I really loved him. I really though that somehow we'd be together, like he said we would. Whether it was when we were making love to one another, or holding hands and walking through our own hidden trail, or even just when we were laying down. Side by side…hands grasping at the others. At that time, I didn't think anything could change between us. It was like heaven to be with him. I didn't believe in the bad things, because of him. I never thought there would be a down time, ever again. Because Kyo had held me during those times. And just with the slightest touch…he made me smile like never before.
But I was deceived by the devil, if yo wish to call it that. A thing I though I had beat, only to have him come back and slap me right in the face, tearing what love in my heart I had left and swallowing it, right then and there. Leaving a black abyss right in its place…
And it all started on a rainy April day…
"Dammit! I hate the rain!" Kyo growled as he stomped down the stairs and into the kitchen, where I was trying to eat the delicious breakfast Miss. Honda had made us before she had left with Hana and Uo on an all-day trip to the mall.
I sigh, "What's new?" I inquire curiously, raising my head to look in his direction. Which I wish I had never done… "…You hate everything and anything." It was a true statement, but my words were slightly slurred as Kyo turned to face me. Standing before me, was what looked to me…like some kind of god. Call me an idiot…I suppose it's true. But he was.
He'd obviously just gotten out of the shower, because his hair was dripping still, and matted down against his tanned forehead and the outline of his masculine structure. And he worse simple brownish-tan cargo pants, with a damp towel across his shoulders. His deep red-orange eyes were filled with anger and rage. "…Shut up, you damn rat!"
I laugh softly, and go back to spooning some of the breakfast into my mouth. My mind going back previously to my thoughts moments before. Kyo actually…looked stunning like that. With the soft drops of shower residue running down his chest and face, it made him look vulnerable. I growl at myself. Was I actually thinking that? And a bout my cousin no less!
I can hear him as he pads across the wooden floor, approaching me from behind. I sigh, closing my eyes and wait silently for him to yell some nonsense at me for laughing. But…it never came.
Of course, I grew curious. I start to urn around slightly, to find strong arms gripping harshly to my shoulders and shoving me to the ground. "What the hell was-" I didn't finish, because a second later, the air coming from my lungs stopped all out, and I found myself straining to breath. Opening my eyes, which I must've closed without even thinking, I found a sight I never thought I'd ever see…
Kyo was straddling my hips, with his hands pushing down against my chest, in a successful effort to stop me from being able to move or speak. "You bastard…!" he said, too close to my ear for comfort. His face was now over mine; the wet orange bangs dangled centimeters from my forehead, releasing wet droplets that landed on my forehead.
A disgusted growl upon him. This only caused me to blush softly. Thankful for the fact that my face was already heavy red from suffocation.
He pushed his palms harder against my chest, and I suddenly remember what the rain does to him. The slightest thing was capable of pissing him off, and to unreasonable heights, at that. I tried to push him off, only to grow even weaker. "K…yo!" I rasp out, flailing around beneath him pathetically. Kyo seemed to realize that I couldn't breath, and knowing my bronchiole tubes were still as weak as ever he instantly got off.
A flash of guilt crossed over his once snarling features. He hid it with an emotionless stoned face, but I had seen it before he had a chance to hide it. Sitting up slowly, panting, I looked to him. "…What was that for?" I ask, in between breaths, my right hand clasped over my chest, the beads of sweat slowly disappearing… He didn't speak, glancing away from me silently. "Imaorry" he murmured something under his breath, clearly inaudible to human ears. I blinked, cocking my head to the side, as I finally regained steady breathing, though now a bit dizzy.
"I'm sorry," he said again, looking back to me.
I sat up slowly, releasing the grip on my shirt, and turned to face him slowly. Did Kyo just apologize to me? My breath hitched once more as I starred at him. The starring must've embarrassed him, cause he immediately looked away, pretending that something else caught his eyes.
Kyo looked…sincere. A fake scowl on his face as he starred at the ceiling with a thoughtful look. It made him look calm, and actually caring. I couldn't help but smile softly towards him. "Kyo…It's alright…I understand" I mumble, not having any clue why I should suddenly care, but oh well. It didn't really matter, anyway, right?
He looked back at me with a surprised look. "…You do?" he asked, crawling up to me with a confussed gaze, before falling into seat infront of me. "…but…Would you understand if I did this?" he asked leaning forwards and capturing me into a surprised kiss…
And this…this was only the beginning…
