Chapter 5-A Horrible Way
He stared at the glowing bracelet as if it were about to explode or something. But it wasn't going to, and he knew this. His other hand reached up and touched it, he yanked his hand back when for some reason he got burned. But it wasn't burning his wrist. So why his hand?
He stood to his feet and left the kitchen. He looked around and when he saw Shigure just standing there speaking to Yuki he decided to cut in.
"I have to go home," he said before running to Shigure's door.
"Please come back soon!" Shigure yelled not taking on thought to Kyo's sudden act of leaving.
"yeah what ever!" he yelled not really listening to what Shigure had said, but still getting the words into his mind. He ran into the woods and leaned against a tree. He looked back down at the bracelet to find it wasn't glowing anymore. His eyes widened as he now became confused.
He got off the tree and continued to walk. He had to get to his apartment soon. He had never finished his homework and school was tomorrow. But even when he thought about these things, the only thing that would be brought back to his mind was his bracelet, and Tohru.
After an hour or so Kyo had reached his apartment. He was so glad to have reached it for his legs had hurt from all the walking he had done. He entered his room thing and walked over to all his books lying on the floor. He bent down and went to go grab the books when something stopped him. His phone let out a soft ring before turning into a loud and annoying ring.
"Hello?" he said as he brought the phone up to his ear. He got no answer. "Hello?" he asked again a little more aggressive. But still he got no answer. Becoming very annoyed, Kyo slammed the phone down on the thingy and walked back to his books. This time he was able to pick up the books and stack them into a nice pile. Then he picked out some books he thought he would need for his homework. He sat down, and then started with his homework.
Almost two hours had gone by and he was just finishing his homework. He stood to his feet and looked around. He still had a long day ahead of him, and what to do he had no idea. He just sighed and decided to go out. When he had left his apartment and had gotten outside, Tohru had been standing there.
"Tohru?" Kyo asked, his voice a bit awkward.
Her eyes wondered up to meet his. "Kyo.." she said softly, now taking a step closer to him. Kyo took a step back, and then another when Tohru had only taken a step forward. She had taken a third step when out of no where she had fainted. Kyo caught her just in time. He picked her up and, and then once again entered his apartment. It was somewhat hard to get her into his room, but he had, and was now placing her down on his bed.
He placed his hand on top of her head, and felt that she had been very hot. He sighed, she had always been running a fever…and it was usually when something was very wrong with her. But he didn't have time to think about that now. Tohru was his main concern, and he needed to at least take care of her. He stood to his feet and went to go into the bathroom when he stopped and looked back at her.
How'd she know where I lived?
He asked himself, but knew he wouldn't get any answer so just continued with what he was going to do. He entered his bathroom and quickly looked for a clothe. He found one in no time, and took no time to wet it and bring it back to where Tohru was resting. He placed it on top of her forehead, and sat down next to her.
He gently wiped some hair out of her face, and smiled at her. He couldn't help it, even when she was sleeping Tohru had always made him so happy. It was just so hard to explain. And now, seeing her lying down in his bed, he couldn't help but be so happy.
He stood to his feet when his stomach let out a small growl from not eating anything. He went into his small kitchen and took out some left over spaghetti and precooked it. He ate it quickly then cleaned the dish. Next he peeked into his room to see that Tohru had still been sleeping so he thought to run out to the store would be fine.
He ran down the steps, not wanting to wait for the elevator being that he lived on the fourth floor of the apartment. When he had gotten outside he stopped and looked around. He looked to his right and then left. He had forgotten where the store was. Then, finally remember where it was he took off in no time.
He came out of the store only 15 minutes later. He had gotten soup for Tohru, and hopefully she wouldn't be gone when he would get back home. It didn't take him very long to get back home. And when he did Tohru had still been sleeping in his bed. He smiles when looking at her then headed towards the kitchen to start making the soup.
He placed the pot on the stove, then some water in it, then the soup came next. After waiting a while he guessed the soup would have been done, and it was. Just in time as well for Tohru had just now been waking up.
She sat up and looked around before she had started to panic.
"Hey calm down," Kyo said softly when hearing the noises she was making. He walked into the room and placed the bowl of soup down on the bed next to her. "Now eat this, it will help you with that fever you have,"
Tohru stared at the soup as if it had been poisoned, but finally she took it and started to eat it.
"I'm sorry," Tohru said, placing down the bowl of soup and looking up at Kyo. " I didn't mean to do this to you, getting I mean and having you take care of me."
Kyo just smiled slightly and shook his head.
"Don't be," he said. "I don't mind…" he added, now thinking of the times when Tohru would be worried about him a long time ago. "Come one, how about we go to the park, that might help a bit. If you want that is," Kyo suggested.
"Sure," Tohru said now standing to her feet.
Kyo and Tohru had reached the park after making sure they both dragged out the walk. When they had gotten there not many people were there. And then as they sat under a tree and talked about pointless things it seemed as if time was flying by. And before they had both known it, it was already 5 in the afternoon.
There was barely no one there, maybe a few family's, but that was about it. Besides, soon every one would be leaving and leaving just Kyo and Tohru alone. The way Kyo wanted it to be. Then just like he knew it, everyone was gone and him and Tohru truly were the only people left in the park.
"So how do you feel?" He asked.
"Better, actually a lot better. I think the heat just did something to me."
Kyo laughed a little, making Tohru stare at him a bit confused.
"oh, sorry," he said quickly when noticing Tohru just staring at him. She just kept staring at him, then she to started to laugh. Now Kyo just stared at her in confusion.
"You look funny when your so serious!" Tohru shouted happily and pointed to Kyo still laughing her brains off. Kyo just laughed along with her. Then they both went silent and looked at each. It was amazing how much both of them were enjoying each other's company. Specially being that Tohru had thought she didn't ever know Kyo. But Kyo had always with out a doubt enjoyed Tohru's staying. She always made him laugh and feel so much more then he really was. Something know one could ever do. And even know, after all this time she still made him feel like he was the only person in the world.
But then it would happen. His heart would start to feel the very pain it did when Tohru had left his life for good. He had become happy, and Tohru had just vanished, making his life dreadful once again. Something no one would ever enjoy.
Kyo stood to his feet, helping Tohru as well. But in the process Tohru had slipped and her fingers ran over Kyo's wrist and right over his bracelet. Tohru, out of reaction, tried to grab his hand but all she got were Kyo's beads, and when she had fallen she had taken his beads with her.
A pulsing feeling. An incredible feeling that he couldn't mistake for anything was secretly hiding in his body, and now coming out to play. It hurt badly. He fell to his knees, screaming in pain and fear. He knew it was coming, it was going to happen. Once again his faithful life would come back to haunt him and keep him away from the horrible world. And once again it was the same person who would witness this horrible accident.
