The Sparrow's Truth
Chapter 19-The Plan Grows
As Yuki opened his eyes to the morning sun her felt a warm body up against his. He looked over the shoulder to see that it was Cara and she was fully dressed. Yuki then let out a loud sigh and Cara shifted around putting some space in between the two. Yuki slowly tried to remember what had happened last night and then it hit him.
As Yuki, Cara, Kyo and Tohru walked in the front door around one in the morning they heard Ayame's voice and started laughing. Kyo and Tohru were wrapped in each others arms while Yuki and Cara were just holding hands.
"I THOUGHT YOU SAID EIGHT!" Ayame shouted as he rounded the bend to greet/shout at the four friends.
"Oh…sorry, I thought I told you seven. Oh well…/yawn/…I'm tired Yun-Yun. Let's go to bed." Cara said as she walked past Ayame and up the stairs.
"I'M TIRED TOO!" Ayame suddenly shouted as he tried to past Cara up the steps. Both Cara and Yuki shoved him behind them and locked the door after they had got into Yuki's room. Ayame then looked at Tohru and Kyo when Kyo threatened, "Ayame, you're on the couch or with Shigure."
"Now now dear Kyon-Kyon. I need the proper sleeping place, and if I tried to bed with Shigure he would keep me awake all night." Ayame said walking into Kyo's room. Kyo just sighed and walked past his room and into Tohru's while pulling Tohru behind him.
"Take my room then." He fumed shutting the door to Tohru's room.
Kyo and Tohru looked at one another and then Kyo sighed. He was so tired and he could tell that Tohru was too just by looking at her. He then kicked off his shoes and climbed into her bed lying on top of the covers.
Tohru grabbed a pair of pajamas then she slowly started to blush. Kyo noticed this and smiled at her flipping over so he wouldn't watch. Though when she climbed into bed to cuddle with Kyo, he was fast asleep. Yuki and Cara had just climbed right into bed and fell asleep even though they still had there cloths on.
Yuki slowly climbed out of bed try hard not to wake Cara up but as he climbed over her he missed his footing and slipped off the bed. Cara shot up and looked around the room, seeing that Yuki had fallen off the bed she then started laughing. She climbed out of bed and helped him up still laughing.
"Yuki you have to be more careful." Cara said sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"I was just trying to get out of bed." He pouted. Cara then stood up and looked around.
"Crap…I have to go back to the estate." She said.
"Why?" Yuki asked being totally oblivious.
"I can't just walk around all day in these." Cara said pointing down to the cloths she had on, her clubbing cloths.
"Why don't you eat something first then go to the estate?" Yuki suggested. Cara shrugged her shoulders then laid back down on the bed and fell asleep.
Tohru was awaken by the bright sun shinning on her face. When she tried to roll over though she felt Kyo's warm body up against her own and his arm wrapped around her waist.
"Where are you going?" he asked with his eyes still closed.
"I-I was just going to take a shower and get some new cloths on." She replied blushing at the contact that they had. He then pulled her closer enjoying the embrace that the shirt granted him.
"Just a little longer." Kyo said drifting back to sleep. Tohru then flipped over so she was facing Kyo and rested her forehead on his. His eyes cracked open and he looked longingly at her face. "I wish that I didn't have this stupid curse."
"Kyo-Kun…"she was silenced by Kyo softly brushing his lips against hers. Her face turned a light shade of red then Kyo passionately kissed her and she kissed back. He pulled her closer to him and put his other hand that wasn't on her waist under the side of her face. "Kyo-Kun…I have to go make breakfast." Tohru said wishing that she hadn't. he released her waist and she got up and walked into her room grabbing a pair of cloths before going into the bathroom.
Kyo just layed in his bed and thought about the curse before getting up and changing his cloths. He walked down the stares and saw that no one else was up besides him, Shigure and Ayame whom he just ignored.
After Tohru got out of the shower and had a different pair of cloths on she went down and started breakfast which was now more of a bruch. She made French toast, eggs, bacon and sausage. She had to wake up Yuki and Cara who were fast asleep so they could get something to eat. As they ate breakfast though Hatori came and collected Ayame and took both him and Cara back to the estate.
After Shigure had left on some important errand and Cara had returned Kyo couldn't help but state, "Hey…you know, life's not going to be much different there then it is here."
"What are you talking about?" Cara asked as she layed on Yuki's lap.
"We should probably break the cruse before we leave." Kyo said looking over at Yuki, Tohru and Cara.
"Ya…why don't we just take a stroll right over to the estate, sneak around while looking for some sword that no one's seeing in like forever and murder Akito, the head of the Sohma family." Cara said sarcastically.
"We could do the snooping around before we leave then just hours before we get on the plane we could…well break it." Kyo said making a thrusting motion as if holding a sword. Tohru looked horrified at Kyo and Yuki just massaged his temples.
"Ya…you do that Kyo, but I don't really want to be a criminal running from the law. I think that I'll just leave the curse alone."
"So if you broke up with Yuki and started seeing someone else how would you have kids with them, if you want kids." Kyo retorted.
"One…I'd never break up with Yuki. Two…there's no other man in the world I would want to do that with. And three…finding the sword in that house would take a life time that we would have to compact into five days. I really don't think that it would work." Cara said looking over at Kyo.
"We should at least try."
"You stupid cat! We would never be able to find that sword and even if we did who would want to kill someone!" Yuki shouted into Cara's ear.
"Ow…that hurt Yun-Yun." Cara whined as she clung to Yuki's shirt.
"DON'T CALL ME STUPID!" Kyo shouted.
"I-I think we should t-try for it." Tohru spoke up, "I'd do it…I mean…k-kill…uh, Akito."
"Are you serious!" Cara asked looking at Tohru.
"Ya…you don't know what it's like not to be able to hug Yuki. The one you want to be closest too." Tohru said defending herself. They then all had a long silence as they all just looked at one another.
"Fine…" Cara sighed, "It's always in the west wing of the estate or so the rumors go."
"But that's the biggest fraction of the estate!" Kyo and Yuki yelled at the same time before Yuki said, "We're going on just a rumor?"
"Ya, the rumor is our only lead and I know that the west wing is the biggest part of the estate. That's why we're going to have to split up."
"In couples…not by ourselves." Kyo said looking at Tohru. He couldn't even imagine what Akito would do to her that bitch found her roaming the estate by herself.
"That's what I was talking about Kyo-Kun," Cara said, "couples."
"Just making sure." Kyo said kind of irritated.
"I have a map of the west wing at the estate, we'll grab it before we start our search." Cara said standing up.
"You have a map of the west wing? Are you serious?" Kyo asked.
"I actually made the map for your information…when I was 9 and I had absolutely nothing to do. So I decide to make a map of the estate, but I only got the west wing before Akito told me to stop aimlessly roaming." Cara said defending herself.
"So are we going to start this today or tomorrow?" Yuki asked wrapping his arms around Cara's waist and resting his chin in the crook of her neck.
"I don't really know, Tohru…what do you think. You too Kyo, what about you?" Cara asked Tohru and Kyo.
"I think we should start today…it would give us a head start." Tohru said looking over at Kyo.
"/sigh/Fine…lets just try to get this over with." Kyo said.
"This was your idea, do you or don't you want to this you stupid cat." Yuki demanded from Kyo.
"DON'T CALL ME STUPID YOU DAMN RAT! AND I KNOW THAT IT WAS MY IDEA AND YES I STILL WANT TO DO IT! I JUST DIDN'T THINK THAT TOHRU WOULD BE THE ONE TO KILL AKITO!" Kyo shouted at Yuki. Cara let out a sigh and pulled Yuki into the next room where the shoes were.
"Ok then, lets go find this stupid sword." Cara said.
They arrived at the estate around noon and decided that they should leave around six or six thirty. They quickly went to Cara's room and got the map, that was actually done exceptionally well, and went there separate ways while Kyo and Tohru took the map because Cara said she had it memorized. There wasn't many people around because most of the servants had taken the first week off but there were still plenty of them.
"Kyo-Kun…do you think that we'll ever find the sword?" Tohru whispered as she opened yet another door and found the room empty.
"I don't know, we could or we couldn't. Either way we're going to America." Kyo said before a long uneasy silence.
"Tohru," Kyo said breaking the silence, "are you sure you want to be the one to…well, you know."
"…not really, but I do want to be able to hug you. If this is the only way then…I will because it's for us." Tohru said felling her own warm tears run down her face. Kyo wiped away the fresh tears as they stopped to look at one another. They then continued to there search for the sword.
Cara and Yuki were having a harder time then Tohru and Kyo though. They had almost been caught at least 7 times by 7 different people.
"Yun-Yun…I don't think that doing this area today is a good idea. There is way to many people here. I think that Akito is staying in this section of the wing." Cara said quietly placing her ear on the door before opening it and looking in to find nothing.
"Ya…I think you're right. I hope that Tohru and the stupid cat are having an easier time then us." He said repeating the same process that Cara was…ear then open. Just as Cara went to place her ear on one of the doors they heard foot steps coming there way along with voices. Yuki quickly pulled Cara into one of the empty rooms and quietly closed the door.
"So how's Akito been?" asked a voice.
"She's been doing fine…but she still is in need of medical attation." said a second voice. Cara knew who's voices they were exactly now, it was Hatori and Shigure. The first voice was Shigure's and the second was Hatori's.
"Hm…you think I should stop by for a visit?" Shigure asked looking over at Hatori.
"I don't think that would be a good idea." Hatori said. The rest of the conversation was blurred as they walked farther and farther down the hall. Yuki and Cara both let out a sigh in relief then slowly cam out of the room to continue their search.
By the time that the four gave up it was only 5:45 but that was late enough for them. Before they went back to Shigure's house though they invited Kisa, Hiro, Momiji and Haru over for dinner. They had Nira-Tama (a dish with leeks and eggs) and Tohru made Kyo fish.
