Chapter 6-Tohru's Frightful Decision

Her eyes went wide, and she took a step back. She dropped Kyo's bracelet and stared in complete fear. As the bracelet hit the floor, so did the thumping of Kyo. Tohru just stared, not knowing what to do. She had seen this before, she had seen something just like this before. But wear, when, why, and how? What was going on. Why did she remember Kyo screaming in agony once before. She didn't understand. She only thought that she should run, but then another side of her was telling her no. To stay and save him. Watch him. Watch what is about to happen.

She felt as if she really did just sit there and watch, something would happen. Something that needed to happen.

"Tohru…run…I need you to get away from me…please!" Kyo managed to say before his body had no strength left and he hit the floor once again. Only this time a lot harder.

Tohru couldn't even nod to Kyo's demand. The only thing she was able to do was to stand, and that she did. But after that her feet got glued down to the ground. She couldn't move. Her heart had stopped, and her mind went blank. Even her vision went on her as she now fell backwards to the floor. She hit the floor, her eyes wide open, and her breathing very rasp. She just laid there as she herd the screaming from Kyo, and a nauseous smell passed by her nose. Then she got a flash of something.

"I've always wanted to be the cat of the zodiac. I love you!"

Kyo just stared in complete confusion at the girl who he thought at the time was crazy.

"Well I mean I love the cat of the zodiac…I've always wanted to be the cat Kyo-kun"

Flashback with Kyo and Shigure-

"Kyo, what would you do if someone told you that they loved you? How would you react?"

End flashback-

"And why would you want to be the cat, that's just stupid…" Kyo said.

Then, Tohru came back to the real world. Her feelings in her body came back, her breathing went to a steady beat as well as her heart, and she could move now. She sat up, and started to cough and wheeze when that smell passed by her nose again.

She squinted her eyes, and screamed in sheer horror when she now so Kyo. It wasn't Kyo in a human body anymore. Oh no. It was something far worst then that. Something that made Tohru's body shutter when she looked at him. Something that made her mind spin in major confusion. And something that she would never be able to forget.

It was like she was in a living nightmare, and this thing in front of her was what she had to fear. But…as she looked more closely at him she could see the sadness in his eyes as he looked back at her. His bug, purple eyes just staring at her. He was a monster. Oh yes, a monster, but Tohru didn't think of him like a monster. No, she thought of him as a trapped soul trying to get away. But what had happened to him, and why did he look so much like a evil beast that should have been dead.

Or maybe even some kind of a dinosaur that had someone went back in time. NO, she knew it was Kyo. She knew it was him, but…she didn't know what had happened to him.

And the vision she had just had. It was him again, Kyo. She saw him and her again. Why? What did this boy mean to her? Why was he liked this?

"Kyo.." Tohru said as the thing took a step back. Tohru had only taken a step forward. "Kyo…what…" before she could finish Kyo took off in a jolt. He hadn't looked back, he just kept running. He was running so fast and so hard he couldn't even hear the call of Tohru. She was running after him, calling his name. Tripping over many broken branches that Kyo had broken.

But each time she had tripped she would just be back up and on her feet again. Running threw many trees that had come out of know where. Then, she tripped one last time and her ankle let out a soft crack. She let out a small scream, and looked down at her ankle. She was sure it hadn't been broken, but defiantly badly hurt. Then she forced herself to stand and once again started running.

He was sure he had lost her. He couldn't here anything now. And he hadn't even thought that she would have followed him. Sure, she had followed him once before. But that when she knew that he transformed into a cat. She had seen that once before, and when she had seen him in his true form, maybe she just knew he would still be the Kyo she knew.

But not now. Oh no, he thought she would have ran in fear when he had taken off. But she hadn't, and she was now getting much closer to him. A lot closer then he could even imagine.

Her feet met the floor making a soft sound echo through the air. She gasped for air as her feet pounded into the ground. She was close, the broking branches were coming to an end. She could just barely see him. Kyo. He was still like he was when Tohru had started her chase after him.

She ran into an opening and saw Kyo, looking at her with sadness still in his eyes. Her body started to tense up, but she didn't allow it to do this. It wasn't going to happen to her again. Not yet. Not until she found out what was going on, and if this truly was Kyo.

"Kyo…" she said as she took a step forward so her body wouldn't tense up on her again. Before she could say anything else the thing had swatted at her and she was sent back a few feet. She forced herself to stand and walk up to Kyo again. It was happening once again, and Kyo knew it. Yuki was right, Tohru remembering everything was only trouble waiting to happen. If he didn't want her to remember then he would have to make her afraid of him.

She took a step next to him and reached out an arm. Kyo only swatted her back again, but this time he made sure not to do it very hard. Only hard enough to make her stumble to her feet.

"Kyo! Please, stop doing this. I know your in there. I saw you change…I don't know what's happening to you…but just please…" she couldn't finish. She had started to cry and her own tears had drowned her out. She looked up at Kyo as if he was going to transform back. But he didn't, and she knew he wasn't going to any time soon unless she did something, and fast.

Once again she stood to her feet and this time she didn't even let Kyo see what she was going to do. She latched her arms around his neck and held them so tightly that it was as if she had locked them. Kyo's eyes looked down at her, then out of no where he wiped his head to one side, then to the other. He did this about seven times before finally noticing that Tohru wasn't going to let go this way.

That's when he lifted his head up and then wiped it back down, causing Tohru to slam into the ground. She let out a small scream from the incredible pain she had just felt. But she did not let go, only made her grip much more tighter. Kyo did it again, and again, and then one last time. And still Tohru did not let go. She wasn't going to. Even now as so much pain soared through her body and told her to let go, she just wouldn't. Not until she was able to see Kyo's soft caring face again. Not until she felt his warm skin and not the rough skin she was feeling.

"Together!" she cried out making Kyo look at her again. "We'll stay together Kyo!" she shouted.

Kyo just stared as these words echoed through his ears. She had told him this once before, and look at what had happened. They didn't stay together. Tohru had left him, she had her memory erased. She had broken her promise, and here she was now telling him together again.

He growled now becoming angry when remembering her promise that she had broken. He slammed her down on the grown once more only to get a blood curdling scream from her. And even after that she hadn't let go. But tears, never ending tears were streaming down her cheeks. And now blood was slipping down both legs and arms. And even the side of her cheek.

"KYO!" she cried out. "I want to stay together! Please just come back!" she pleaded letting her tears once again drown her out.

Kyo felt something new. Something different flow through his body. It was something strong, and something he didn't like, at all. He tried to fight it back, he knew it was something bad and couldn't be something he would enjoy. So he had tried his hardest to fight it back but it didn't work. It had taken control of him, and was now about to hurt Tohru.

He did the same as before, slammed her on the ground. Only this time when he had done it he made sure that he had literally slammed her into the ground to hurt her. And it had. Her arms had left his neck and she fell limp onto the floor.

At first Kyo was proud of himself. But then he saw that she wasn't moving, and the other side of him got worried and started over powering the evil part of him. His body started to burn as if he was going to die, but then before he knew it he was back to normal. He was in his human body, staring down at Tohru in complete fear of what he had just done to her. He couldn't believe it. The only thing he was able to do was stand there and pray to she was still alive.

She was, her chest had been moving up and down slowly. But it was a sign that she was alive. Kyo took no time to make sure she was still alive anymore. He leaned down and picked her up, praying he wouldn't transform. And it was as if someone was watching him and giving into his plea for he did not transform. He ran through the woods and out of the park past everything else that was on his way to his apartment.

About a half hour later Tohru was in his bed resting. Kyo was just sitting next to her, tears slowly forming in his eyes. He had hurt her, and not only physically but most definitely mentally as well. She had told him that she once again wanted to stay with him, but he didn't listen again. He hurt her in both ways and would do anything to make her better.

He stood to his feet. He would have to get het to a doctor or something. She was hurt very badly and Kyo did know much about people that were hurt. But then there would be the explaing of what had happened to her. And he didn't think he would be able to come up with a good enough answer to this bothering question. The only thing he could think of was that she had been hit by a car. But that didn't seem like a good enough reason. He sighed as he wiped away yet another fallen tear.

"Tohru," He placed his hand on her bruised cheek and closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, but you should have just ran," when he had said ran something in her hand had caught his attention. He bent down a little to see what it was, then he had actually stumbled backwards. It wasn't anything bad, but to him it was like a living hell that would travel every where he would.

He sat back up and crawled over to Tohru. He reached out his hand and pulled the beads out of her strong grip. But in the process Tohru's hand had grabbed a hold of his, and she wouldn't let go. Kyo looked up to see if Tohru was awake, but she wasn't. Her eyes were becoming tightly closed as she now started to move around under the blanket. She mumbled something but Kyo couldn't here what it was.

He yanked his hand back, and quickly put his bracelet on. He then stood to his feet and looked down at Tohru. She was sweating, and badly to. The only thing Kyo had thought of doing was getting a wet clothe and placing it on top of her head. That was it, what else could he do for her. Every time he was sick no one would ever do anything for him. That was until he met Tohru, but then she to stopped doing things because she was never there for him.

And yet know, still Kyo blamed himself for Tohru's leaving.

Kyo let out a sigh and hit the floor. The moment his body met with the floor he felt sleep over take him. He was just about to let the sleep complete its job and take him into a soft sleep when he heard Tohru mumble his name. He shot up onto his as if someone was about to kill him and jolted towards the bed. Even though he wasn't that far from it to began with.

She had still been sleeping, but she kept saying his name. Over and over again not letting one word she say switch to a different one. It was just his name. That was it. This just made Kyo stare down at her wondering what she was dreaming. But at the same time, he didn't want to know. Something was telling him that her dream was about him, and it wasn't something good either.

He looked over at the door to his apartment.

"Just like I leave my apartment everyday, Tohru leaves my life everyday. I thought she was only getting closer to me, and thinking it was good. But I was wrong. She is only getting further from me, and its and its not good. Maybe Yuki was right, maybe I don't want her to remember for her sake. But for mine. I don't want her to remember me because she loved me, I want her to remember me because I loved her." Kyo looked back at Tohru and smiled. But his smile quickly faded away and he sat down next to Tohru on the bed. He wiped some fallen hair out of her face, and ran his finger over her cheek.

"I'm sorry," he said sadly. "I've just been so selfish, and I never even stopped to think what would happen if you were to remember everything about your past." Kyo only smiled again and bent down so his face was closer to Tohru's. Then, without anything else said, he stole a kiss from her. "I'm sorry. Sorry that you had to go threw this today Tohru. But I promise, your not going to have to do anything like this again. Or see anything like this. I'm going to get Hatori over here tomorrow Tohru, okay? Then, were going to erase your memory…again so that you can live the way your were before you met me again. I don't want you to be hurt anymore, not like you were when you knew everything about the Sohma's. And for me, well I'll just leave this school and find somewhere else to go. I don't mind, really. As long as your happy again…"

Kyo hadn't moved for the rest of the day. He did not get up for anything. Not one thing would make him move from Tohru's side. He had thought this was going to be the last day he would be able to stay with her, and be near her. And he didn't want to ruin it forever. And eventually sleep had over taken him in his dreary day, and before he knew it he had fallen asleep, his head resting on the side of the bed as he sat in a chair just waiting for the love of his life to wake up.
