Chapter
5
Kaiya and Hatori
Tohru watch as Kaiya went upstairs to their bedroom to get some sleep. Kyo was still missing, and Tohru knew exactly where to kind him. Sure enough, there was a ladder leading up to the roof on the side of the house. Tohru climbed the ladder, only to find the cat thinking to himself once again.
"Akito, why does sister have to go away?"
"She can't
stand to be around you. She is disgusted by the mere site of
you!"
"Kyo?" Tohru interrupted Kyo's thoughts as he
looked over at her.
"How's Kaiya doing?" He asked the onigiri.
"She's fine; she just went to bed right now."
"You know, I was scared." Kyo began the shiver a little, "I mean I've seen her sick before, but I still can't bear to see her so miserable like that." Kyo turned so that Tohru could not make out his facial expression.
"I'll be okay, Kyo." Tohru said placing a gentle hand on Kyo's shoulder.
"No, it won't." Kyo started, "what if he wants to see her again."
"Huh?"
"Akito might request to see her, and after the last time she went there." Kyo began to think to himself, as Tohru began to worry a little bit.
"Kyo, is there something wrong?" Tohru asked.
"Oh, nothing, I don't want to worry you." Kyo said to Tohru returning to a normal state of mind.
"So, how come you've never mentioned that you had a twin sister before, Kyo?"
"Well it's sorta a long story."
"Why don't you tell me about it?"
"Okay, well it started when…" Suddenly Kyo was interrupted by the sound of Shigure whining about wanting dinner.
"Excuse me, I better go start dinner." Tohru said and climbed down off the roof. Kyo soon followed her.
At dinner, Tohru made an extra special plate of chicken catchatori (I think that's how you spell it) just for Kaiya, who was walking down the stairs to join them at the table.
"Ah, so you're awake." Shigure stated.
"Yes, the smell of the food woke me up, and I couldn't resist." Kaiya responded.
"So, how are you feeling?" Yuki asked her as he saw Kaiya sit down in front of him.
"Much better, thanks you." She responded.
"So, I guess we start spring cleaning tomorrow," Tohru said, "Uo and Hana will be coming by as always to lend a helping hand."
"I suggest we all get a good night sleep, so we can help Honda-san with the cleaning." Yuki said as he began to clear his dishes.
The next day rolled around and Tohru rushed to see who had been ringing the doorbell. It was Uo and Hana of course.
"Hey, come on in, we just started the house work." Tohru said directing them into the house. Uo and Hana walked in when they notice Kaiya starting to walk down the stairs. She was wearing a green halter top, with and old pair of jeans that had holes in both of the knees. Her red hair was pulled up into a high ponytail.
"Hey Kaiya, nice piercing." Uo said as she pointed at Kaiya's revealed midriff.
"Uh, thanks, yeah I've had it for awhile now." Kaiya said looking down at her belly button ring.
While Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure began to move the furniture around so that Kaiya could continue with the dusting. Tohru and Uo took some mats outside and began to beat them, while Hana went in search of bathrooms to clean (got that from the anime version). The day went by and eventually Uo and Hana left.
"Thanks you guys, I think we can manage from here." Tohru said waving at her friends.
"All right see you at school Tohru." Both girls seemed to say at the same time as they left.
Before the day was out, Tohru completely forgot that she had left the laundry out to dry outside.
"Oh, the laundry I left it outside."
"I'll help you." Kaiya offered as she and Tohru walked back outside and began to collect the laundry. Shigure, Yuki, and Kyo just watched from afar.
"They seem to become closer everyday now." Shigure stated.
"Kaiya and Tohru sure seem to become better friends everyday." Yuki said.
"Yeah, at least it not like with Kagura," Kyo huffed, "at least they both aren't trying to kill me."
Yuki and Shigure just laughed at Kyo's response. Tohru and Kaiya still began to fold laundry.
"I never got around to asking you, but where did you get that motorcycle you were riding the first time I met you?" Tohru asked.
"Oh, I've had that thing for awhile and a friend was keeping it for me until I got back." They were nearly finished, when Kaiya suddenly dropped her collection of clothes pins on the ground.
"I'm such a butterfingers." Kaiya said as she leaned over to pick them up off the ground. As she bent down, Tohru noticed a series of scars on Kaiya's back that gave her a chill down her spine just to look at them. Kaiya finished picking up the pins and noticed right away what directed Tohru's attention away from her work.
"I've had those for as long as I can remember, so it's not like they're new or anything like that." Kaiya said looking at Tohru's expression.
"Oh. I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare or anything," Tohru began to ramble, "I was just shocked that's all."
"Now you know why I don't like to wear tops that show off my backside too often." Kaiya joked. The two of them returned inside, just as a light spring shower began to fall.
Later that evening….
Kaiya walked up to the Sohma's main estate and just stared at the front doors.
"God, what I'm I doing here. I can't believe I decided to come here after all these year." Kaiya thought to herself as she entered through the front gates. She really did not want to be there, and was only there on request from Hatori.
Flashback:
"Kaiya you have a phone call." Shigure called to Kaiya.
"Hello, this is Kaiya Sohma, how may I help you?" She said into the receiver.
"Kaiya, its Hatori."
"Yes, how are you? What can I help you with?"
"Fine, I would like you to visit me at the main estate today for a little chat."
"Why?"
"Just because" Hatori said and he hung up on the other line.
End of Flashback
Kaiya stated to walk around when she realized she was lost. She hadn't been in this place for so long that she completely forgot where everything was, including Hatori's house. She began to get worried when she was greeted by a warm voice.
"Hi Kai-chan, how are you?" Momiji said as he bounced around a bit and attempted to give Kaiya a hug. She held her palm out in front of him and stopped him dead in his tracks.
"Aww, come on. Just one hug." Momiji whined.
"I'm sorry, but I'm later for a visit and on top of that I'm lost." Kaiya said franticly and began to stress herself out.
"You look kinda stressed," Momiji stated, "I know I'll take you to Hari's house, he'll make you better." Momiji began to lead her in the direction of Hatori's place when she began to speak to the rabbit as he continued to pull her.
"I'm fine Momiji, but I do need to speak with Hatori so thank you for taking me."
"No problem , here we are." Momiji said as he began to skip away and Kaiya was left alone in front of the door. She quickly stepped up and knocked on the door.
"Hello Kaiya, please come in." Hatori said answering the door and directing Kaiya into the house. They proceeded to his office and took their seats in some comfy chairs in the corner. Kaiya noticed the picture of Kana on Hatori's bookshelf. It had been the same picture that Tohru had noticed some years before.
"So I see you still keep a picture of Kana around." Kaiya said pointing to the photograph.
"Yes, so how you are in good health I presume." Hatori said still remembering the endurance run incident. He was also concerned with her mental health because at one time in her life, Kaiya had been diagnosed and treated for manic depression.
"Yes, but what have you called me here for today?" Kaiya asked the doctor
"Have you spoken with your brother yet?" Hatori asked.
"We've crossed paths a couple of times."
"You know, he care about you more then you know."
Kaiya just sat there and took in Hatori's comment with a big sigh, "I know he does."
"Akito has asked about you." Hatori added, "He's been inquiring about your health."
"Oh, how thoughtful of him." Kaiya said in hushed tones.
"Well, he wishes to see you soon." Hatori added and at the moment Kaiya just sat there frozen in her chair.
