"In The Arms Of An Angel"

Chapter 18

Kyoko Confesses

Ha'ri came back at about 3 O' Clock, after driving for 4 hours, there and back. He diagnosed Haru with food poisoning. He'd just exited out Haru's room when Tohru had asked him; Haru would be out of action for two weeks

"Two weeks!" said Tohru, after Ha'ri told her "We could have been finished by then!"

"It's not my fault," said Ha'ri "Blame Shigure. He served the food"

"I'm gonna kill Shigure!" said Kyo

"Well, I'd suggest not. I want to get out of here as soon as possible," said Ha'ri "So kill Shigure after we have left, and you're safely at home"

"Grrrr!" said Kyo "Where is he? He should be helping Haru get better!"

"Last time I saw him," said Tohru, tightening her bandana "he was on the train…"

"Is he cleaning?" asked Kyo, clenching his fists

"Yeah, I'm gonna go back and clean… Or maybe I should stay here with Haru?" she asked

"No," said Ha'ri "He needs to rest. Let him sleep for a little while. I have a walkie-talkie with me, incase he needs me"

"OK then," said Tohru "Let's go Kyo"

"I'll be down soon, I'm going to check on Haru, then I have to go out" said Ha'ri, and he entered Haru's room "See you soon"

Tohru and Kyo went downstairs. Shigure was busy cleaning the windows when Kyo, turned him round

"Thanks to your 'Sohma Soup' crap," said Kyo "Haru's gonna be out for 2 weeks! And it's all your fault"

"H-Hey!" said Shigure "It's not my fault if they never chucked out the out-of-date food!"

"Yeah!" said Kyo, grabbing his robe "Well you should have checked the date before cooking it!" he added, letting go and controlling his anger

Shigure gave a glum look, sighing and returned to cleaning the windows. Cleaning seemed to go slow now. No conversation took place; they had nothing to talk about. Tohru tried to break the silence; not that it worked

"So… erm…" she said

Kyo looked round, from gluing a broken chair "Did you say something?" he asked

"N-No…" said Tohru, turning and going back to replacing a broken door from compartment 56

The sky outside was getting dark. The sunset looked beautiful, it was disappearing behind some high skyscrapers, the clouds moving in front of it

Tohru checked her watch, it said: '9:25pm'

"Shouldn't we have had dinner by now? It's 9:25" she said

"Yeah," said Kyo, checking his watch "Let's go"

They walked off the train to see the hostel. It was pitch black now, and only one of the hostel lights was on; Tohru's light

"I never left it on…" said Tohru, looking up to see a shadow stalk past Haru's window "What was that?" she asked

"What?" asked Kyo, looking up

"Someone's in Haru's room!" she said and ran inside and into the darkness

The hostel was pitch black. They couldn't see anything, not even their own hands in front of them; all the windows were blocked out

"Some one turn on the lights!" said Tohru, trying to feel out in front of her

It took a while, but Kyo found the lights

"C'mon!" said Tohru "That could be anyone!"

"Isn't it Ha'ri?" asked Kyo

"No! He said he was going out!" said Tohru, running through the doors and into the dark hallway

At the door of Haru's room, the light was on, shining on the floor. A shadow blocked the light for a brief second

Tohru froze "What ever it is!" she whispered to Kyo "It seems busy!"

"Let's go quietly" said Kyo, putting a finger to his lips

Tohru gulped. 'Who is it?' she thought

They closely got near the door. Kyo put his back to the wall and peered over the side of the door

"Who's in there?" whispered Tohru

"That bitch" whispered Kyo, looking at Tohru

"No! Not her!" replied Tohru

Then she thought about it 'Kyoko swore she'd get revenge, but not on my friends. Oh my God! Who knows what she's doing to Haru!' she thought, and she ran into the room, Kyo followed

"NO!" she screamed, and picked up a picture frame of the chest-of-drawers in the room and held it in her hand

"Well, well, well" said a familiar voice "If it isn't Tohru Honda"

"Kyoko!" said Kyo, glaring at her

Kyoko was in an even worse state than ever. Her hair was a mess, her cheeks somehow were more hollow than before, instead of her kimono, she wore an orange jail suit, the number '44888J' and 'Hakodate Jail' written across the back and front.

"I wondered when I'd see you again" she said, giving an evil smile

Haru lay there, pale and up to his neck in sheets. He really looked ill

"Well, I'm no doctor, but I guess my plan worked" said Kyoko

"What plan?" said Tohru

"To poison one of your group. I knew someone would cook that out of date soup and eat it" said Kyoko

"Grrr! You evil cow!" Kyo hissed

"Something I've never heard before" said Kyoko, sarcastically

"What do you want from us!" said Tohru, the picture still in her hand

"What I need" said Kyoko, tears forming in her eyes "My son" and she broke down

Tohru went to go to her "Wait!" said Kyo "It might be a trap!"

Kyoko still wept. Tears fell to the floor. Tohru got past Kyo and put an arm around Kyoko

"What's the matter" she asked

"I never knew my son!" wailed Kyoko

"Of course you did!" said Tohru, looking up at Kyo and shrugging "You knew him for fifteen years!"

"I never!" said Kyoko "Jeimii's not my son! He's adopted!"

Tohru gasped "And you never told him? Where does he come from? What's his story? You can tell me"

"OK I'll tell you" said Kyoko, looking up

(A/N: Jeimii was adopted? The truth about Jeimii will be up soon!)
