Author's notes: Yeah, This chapter's kinda...wierd...but touching at the same time. I wasn't going to put what I did in this chapter, but...I really don't want an uber long fic...like Que Sera, Sera's probably going to be...I'm in way over my head! But evidentally people's reading, so I will cause myself mental anguish to make sure I write these things . Enjoy.
Chapter 2: I've got another confession to make..
"Good morning, Kit," Yuki said smiling, "Indeed it has been a while, I barely recognised you.."
"Yeah, I cut my hair shorter this time," Kit said smiling. The teacher walked in and the class went silent. "Meet me after school. I need to go to Shigure's anyway," Kit whispered.
Later that day after the final bell rang, Kit, Tohru, and Yuki met outside the school. Kit and Tohru laughed and talked the whole way, and Yuki smiled to himself. She really was here. He thought for a moment, and then spoke aloud, "Kit, were you staying at the main house this whole time? Did you not go to school?"
"I was home-schooled," Kit said, looking at the ground, "And I bet you're wondering why you never seen me, huh?" She paused for a moment, looking at Tohru and then back to Yuki, "I wasn't allowed to be seen...for resons I'd rather not tell you, Yuki..." She paused for a moment, looking around, "Where's Kyo?"
"I...I think he went home early," Tohru said laughing to ease the tension, "The girls were smothering him again...I hope he doesn't get in trouble..."
"Oh, does that happen a lot? Wierd," Kit said, laughing, "Do you think Shigure would mind if I stay over for supper? I can't stand the food at the main house, there's never enough spice..."
"Oh, I was thinking of making some fish and rice, I could add some spice to your portion if you'd like," Tohru said, putting a finger to her lip in thought.
"I'll help. I forgot that Shigure was a lazy bum," Kit said laughing.
After a delicious supper, Kit was sitting on the couch reading a manga that she had put in her bookbag. Tohru sat down beside her, "That's it about?"
Kit was caught off gaurd by the sudden question. She smiled putting the book down, "Oh, it's just wonderful. It's about this demon princess that's being held captive by the evil demon Kagemobu, he's a king or something. She sends a letter through the land asking for help, but everyone's scared of this king guy, except the handsome demon prince...I think he saves her in the end...that's how they all end..."
"Sounds romantic," Tohru said smiling, "I'll have to read it sometime..."
"You can borrow it if you like, I'm bored with it," Kit said, handing it to her. The phone rang and both girls jumped.
Shigure got up and answered it, "Hel-lo..Oh hi Hatori...Okay...I'll tell her...bye.." He slid open the door to the main room that Tohru and Kit were in and smiled, "Kit, dear, Hatori just called and said that Akito wanted you to come home now..."
Kit nodded and silently left the room. She sensed that Yuki was outside, so she picked up her bookbag and went outside, "Yuki? Can I ask you something?"
Yuki was sitting on the porch and looked up, "Yeah, what do you need?"
"Will you walk me home...It's really dark," Kit said, rubbing her arm, "I'm sorry...You know I can't stand to be alone for too long..."
"Of course, I'll walk you home," Yuki said as he got up and slipped his shoes on. They walked for a long time in silence, almost three quarters of the way to the main house until Yuki said something, "What is Akito doing to you?"
"It's nothing, Yuki," Kit said, forcing out a laugh, "Don't worry about it..." She let her mind dwell on what was waiting for her when she arrived at the house, and she almost began to cry.
"Monoromi, I know something is wrong, and you can tell me...," Yuki said, reaching out and touching her arm.
Upon hearing his words and feeling his touch she stopped walking. She dropped her bookbag and clenched her fists, "Yuki...I don't want to go...I don't want to leave you again..."
"Romi...what are you talking about..."
"I...just wanted you to be safe.."
"Kit?"
"I...I wanted you to be my first, Yuki..." She fell to her knees in shame and brought her hands to her face. Tears were escaping her eyes like miniature waterfalls. She felt arms wrap around her and lips kiss her lightly on her forhead.
"It's okay," Yuki said, resting his head on hers.
"I love you, Yuki," she said as she moved her hands from her face and put her arms around his neck, "I always have...and I think I will forever."
"I love you, too," Yuki said, picking her up back to her feet. He was crying, too. She always used to talk to him when they were younger. She used to always play with him when no one else would. When they turned 11, it stopped. That was also when his beatings slowed down. He reached out and hugged her tight, "I'll talk to Shigure, he's the only one who an really get through to Akito..."
"No...don't...," Kit said, pulling away, "I'll tell Akito...It's my problem..."
"You shouldn't have to deal with things like that," Yuki said, picking up her bookbag, "No one should..."
"Walk home, Yuki," Kit said, taking her bag, "I can go the rest of the way. Please go, I need to think..."
