Chap 5

Cover up and understanding

"What do you mean?" Tohru asked Kyo turning around to finish dinner.

Kyo grabbed her arm and turned her around. "You know what I mean!"

"How did you find out?" Tohru's eyes went to the floor.

"Hana." Kyo put his finger under her chin and raised it towards his face.

How could…..Tohru's thoughts were cut off by Kyo. "Don't blame her,

I forced it out of her when I walked into your room and saw her crying."

"I didn't mean to… You know… I mean that….." Tears were rolling down Tohru's cheeks.

"It's okay. I'm not going to let you die."

"You have no say in what happens to me!"

"Well I'm the only one that ever hugs you so I'm not going to do it….."

"For the rest of our lives? I can't let that be. Even when you were cursed I still hugged you and we weren't even dating!"

"Yeah but I wasn't dieing!"

"I'm not going to let this hold us back."

And to show that she was going to win she ran up, hugged her boyfriend, and ran upstairs. By the time she got to her room and locked her door she was in tremendous pain. She let out a scream and passed out on the floor, the knocking in the background fading away.
