Chapter 3- An Unusual Feeling
He sat up and rubbed his head. He had barely gotten any sleep last night, let alone ate anything. He had gone out to get food for nothing. He had made the spaghetti but then didn't even eat it. What Tohru had said kept him up all night. He groaned in pain as his brain felt like it thumped on the side of his head. He had a head ache, and a really bad one to. And the worst part of this was he had nothing to take to make it go away. He had woken up to a really bad morning, and not even knowing it was only going to get worst. His life was going to get worst here on out unless he stepped out of Tohru's life. But of course he didn't know this, and stepping out of her life was the last thing he wanted to do right now.
He groaned again as he stood to his feet and walked towards the bathroom. A nice hot shower was what he needed right now. Maybe that would relax his head ache a little. Then he could go to the store and get some Tylenol or something. He took a 10 minute shower and headed towards the store. When getting the medicine for his head he took no time to go in a store and get some water. That's when he took the medicine and decided to head towards the park. Luckily for him he head off his small, but worthy job today. And tomorrow for that matter. But this Tuesday he had to go back.
He paid for his water and left the store. He looked around for a few moments before walking back to his apartment. Lately, people had been popping out of know where when he would go some where. So now he was cautious to where ever he would go. He wanted to go back to his apartment, but instead turned his direction and headed towards the park. Ever since this whole thing with Tohru had happened Kyo seemed to be going to the park more and more. It just always seemed to calmed him.
The roof never did him any good anymore. So that had actually died out. He had barely ever gone on the roof anymore. It had brought to many painful memory's back to him. So the park had become his new place. But this time when he had gone to the park, that changed. He sat down on the bench under a pretty big tree. He closed his eyes for only a few moments and when he reopened them he saw Tohru sitting under a tree not to far from him reading a book. But the only problem was that when he hag gotten here, she wasn't there. Was she following him or something?
Kyo stood to his feet and walked over to Tohru. When he stopped, Tohru lifted her eyes from her book and when seeing Kyo she lifted her whole head. She didn't smile, nor try to. She hadn't moved, or looked happy. In fact she looked like she was about to cry. She stood up and walked past Kyo.
Becoming somewhat confused Kyo turned and followed her.
"Hey?" he said, not sure if he should.
She stopped and turned to face him. "I'm sorry, I have to go…" She said quickly. But Kyo wasn't going to let her go. Not that easy. He wanted to know what was wrong with her. And the only way to find that out was to ask her.
"What's wrong, you acted like this last night as well when I saw you by the store. You have to tell me what's wrong now," Kyo told her.
"NO, you wouldn't understand! Go, please…just…just please leave me alone!" she shouted pushing him to the side. Her hand had slipped down his arm and had grabbed a hold of the bracelet that Kyo had still worn. In an instant a pulsing feeling shot threw the bracelet and up Kyo's whole arm. Kyo pulled his arm back, making sure the bracelet didn't come off, and looked up at Tohru. She had turned around and was now walking away.
This time Kyo didn't try to stop her. His eyes were just fixed on the bracelet. What had just happened? That had been the same feeling he would get when the bracelet was near being taken off, or was taken off. But the curse had been broken, hadn't it? He knew it had been, specially after all the times Mea had "accidentally" bumped into him. Not once had he transformed then. But then why had he gotten that feeling just now. Maybe it was because Tohru had been the one to touch it. But that just made no sense, not to him anyways. Maybe it was time he gave Shigure a call and told him some stuff that had been happening. But first he had to find Tohru. She couldn't have gotten far being that she was only walking.
"Tohru!" Kyo yelled. He knew that something was wrong with her. She was acting as if she knew something he didn't. She would sometimes act like this towards him. And he didn't like it. And would always want to find out what was wrong. But with everything that had happened he wasn't to sure if Tohru would actually tell him what was wrong with her.
"Why cant you just leave me alone?" Tohru's voice came form behind Kyo, and when he turned sure enough there was Tohru staring at him. Sadness still in her eyes.
"Because I want to know what's wrong with you, and why your every where I am. And what the hell was last night all about?" Kyo asked, seeming a bit aggravated.
Tohru looked at Kyo puzzled. "Last night?" she asked, seeming completely oblivious. Kyo went to go say something when noticing that she really had no idea what he was talking about. But how could they be? She was there last night, she told him she wanted him to be her friend. Then said she had made the biggest mistake of her life. Or at least it was something like that. Even now though Kyo could tell when she truly was telling the truth or just didn't know what he was talking about.
"Yeah, last night you were there at the store. I was there to, and…you honestly have no idea what I'm talking about do you?" he asked, now being able to see all the confusion building up in Tohru's eyes.
Now Kyo had become about as confused at Tohru. He knew she was there. He saw her. He heard the very words she said to him. How could she not remember. Maybe there was something wrong with her. It had been four years after all and Kyo didn't know if anything had happened to her in these years. But this he doubted, and went onto thinking something else. She could have just said she didn't remember. But the look on her face ad convinced Kyo so much he couldn't even explain it. Nothing else thought would come to mind. He couldn't think of one more thing that would make Tohru not remember last night.
For some reason when Kyo would think about Tohru not being able to remember his heart would ache. Every time he thought this he would think about the memory he had from so long ago. And just thinking about that would make him hurt so badly. His eyes looked back to Tohru, and he smiled slightly.
"How about we just go out or something?" he asked calmly.
Tohru's body hesitated but her mind told her to go. And she wasn't about to listen to her body. She nodded but hadn't smiled like she usually would.
"Lets just stay here, how does that sound?"
Tohru still only nodded to Kyo's suggestion. And that's what they did. They just stayed at the park. And after a while Tohru had finally been talking like she usually would and laughing as well. Kyo was laughing along with her. He hadn't laughed so much in four years, and all this laughed was giving his stomach a nice pain.
Kyo had just sat up from falling back out of all the laughter he had done. He looked over at Tohru and smiled brightly. Tohru's eyes widened a little, her face flushed red, and she immediately looked away. What just happened? She had felt something inside of her that she had once felt before. And she knew this feeling she had only felt was for Kyo. But how, how could that even be possible? She had just met him. So she thought. But now, all she wanted to do was to stay with him. She felt so comfortable with him. And she had only been with him for about two hours now.
"hey, you okay?" Kyo asked completely clueless to Tohru blushing.
"yes, I'm fine Kyo-kun," Tohru said.
"kun…" That was it. That's all Kyo needed. He stood to his feet and looked down at the now confused Tohru. He didn't want to hear her call him that ever again. Kyo was just fine. But when she said kun, he didn't like it. Its not like he didn't like being called that, it was just Tohru said it, and the way she said it made his heart yearn for her more then it already did.
"I have to go," he said quickly.
Tohru stood to her feet as well and placed her hands right in front of her heart. One hand had been curled into a fist while the other was placed over her hand that was in a fist. Her head was tilted to the side a little.
"Kyo…" she said softly as if she was about to add something else to her words that was very important and meant a lot to her.
