Narration by Tohru will be italicized
I had never thought of Kyo's father before, where he was or who he was. I guess I've always assumed he must have passed on, but here he is in front of me!
"Oh! Pleased to met you! I'm Tohru-" Tohru said bowing nervously, but was cut off by Kohaku, "Yes I know who you are. You are Miss Tohru Honda, the girl who has helped my boy in many ways." Kohaku said with a devious grin. "Uh...um.." Tohru said not sure what to say.
Shigure helped her out, "And what brings you here Kohaku? You know it would probably be best for you to not see Kyo." Shigure said going a little in front of Tohru. "I have every right to see my boy. Now show me to his room." Kohaku said already going to the stairs. "I'm afraid I won't let you." Shigure said.
Kohaku stopped walking and turned back to Shigure, "You are not his father." He said and stated to go again but Shigure was persistent, "This is my house, and I would like you to leave." Kohaku stopped once more, a small playing on his face,
"Just wait til Akito hears of this. Now let me see the boy."
He walked up the stairs and out of site. "Tohru, I need you to call Kazuma for me, will you? Tell him he needs to come here immediately Shigure said to Tohru while looking to the stairs. "Of course…" She said a little unsure.
She went to the phone as Shigure walked up the stair and to out of site. Kazuma picked up the phone on the third ring, "Hello?" He asked from the other line. "Uh um, Kazuma? I'm sorry to interrupt you, but Shigure would like you to come over right away, Kyo's father has just arrived."
Tohru said feeling a little impatient. Something was wrong, she could feel it. Kazuma could tell the urgency in her voice, "I will be there right away." He said and hung up the phone.
Meanwhile….in Kyo's room.
"You." Kyo's said as he saw his father walk into his room. "Yes it is me. Come son, I am taking you home." Kohaku said and began to pack some of Kyo's things. "No, I'm not leaving with you." Kyo said firmly.
Kohaku laughed at him as he removed a few shirts from a near by drawer. Shigure came in, "Put his stuff down. You have no right to walk into my house and see him." Shigure said form the door way.
Kyo began to get up but pain shot through him so he stayed where he was. "As I had said, I am his father, I can do what I please with him." Kohaku said, his expression as if daring Shigure to say something more. Kyo had had enough of this, "You were never my father, not before or after mom died." He said, eyes fierce.
"DON'T YOU TALK TO ME THAT WAY!" Kohaku yelled and swung his fist at Kyo, but to his surprise his first did not hit it's mark, but hit another's hand.
Kazuma stood in front of Kyo, ready to take on Kohaku. He pushed Kohaku back with such force that he knocked into a nearby desk, causing things to fall on him. "Why you..!" Kohaku said and lunged at Kazuma.
Kohaku swung a high kick into Kazuma's face to only hit air as Kazuma dodged it easily, coming back and kicking Kohaku with a high kick of his own. Kohaku was thrown back once more, colliding with the ground.
He got back up a few moments later, face mad with furry. Blood was on the side of his mouth and his cheek a bright red.
"When Akito heres of this.." He began but Kazuma counted back, "He will do nothing. I will not let Akito ruin any more lives, tell him that."
Kazuma said, ready for another fight. Kohaku gave a small annoyed grunt and left, pushing Shigure hard into the door.
"You know.." Kyo began and Kazuma and Shigure's attention was on him, "I could have fought him myself." He said with a small smirk. Kazuma let his guard down and smiled to him, "Yes I know, but I have been wanting to do that for a long time." Kazuma said wit a small laugh.
"Shigure?" Tohru asked from the door way.
"Ah! Tohru! Did he hurt you?" Shigure asked immediately concerned for her safety. She shook her head, "No, I'm fine." She said looking over to Kyo.
A week passed and all seemed to be returning to normal, as normal as normal could be anyway.
"You damn rat! I was ganna eat that!" Kyo yelled as Yuki ate the last of the rice. "You should have gone for it sooner you stupid cat." Yuki said finishing it off.
Everyone seems to be their old selves again! Even Kyo! His wounds have been getting better….I'm so happy! But…What lies for us all in the future? Now that Kyo no longer changes into a Zodiac form…does that mean everyone will be lifted of the curse? What else has Akito planned for them…?
"Tohru?" Kyo asked as they all sat at the table.
"Uh wha..? Kyo! Yes? More rice! One second!" She said franticly getting up and going into the kitchen.
Kyo followed her, "Tohru, is everything ok?" He asked as she stopped in the middle of the kitchen. "Yes! Everything is great!" She said happily.
He came closer to her, "Remember I told you to say what was on your mind, and I don't think your doing that." He saidcoming closer more. "I was just wondering…if everyone was lifted from the curse?" She asked.
Kyo shrugged, "I don't know, they'd haft to be hugged or something for us to find out." Just as Kyo finished his sentence did Momiji come in,
"TOHRU!" He yelled happily giving her a large hug.
Immediately as he hugged her he transformed into his rabbit form.
"Momiji! You startled me!" Tohru said now on the floor holding the now rabbit Momiji.
"I guess that answers your question.." Kyo said in a half annoyed tone.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to startle you! I came wit Hari, he's here to check on Kyo." Momiji said still hugging Tohru. At that moment Hatori stepped into the kitchen, "I see you found her." He said noticing the Tohru holding Momiji in his rabbit form.
"Hello Hatori! Would you like some tea?" Tohru asked now getting up. She put Momiji down gently. "No thank you, I can only stay for a short time. How have you been Kyo?" Hatori asked him.
"Fine I guess." Kyo said.
Hatori gave a nod, "And your wounds?" He asked as he took a rice ball Tohru was now offering. "Thank You." He said with a small smile. "Their getting better, some burses have gone away." He said watching Tohru clean up something on the counter,
"What does Akito haft to say?" Kyo asked.
He haddent heard anything about Akito in a while and wondered what he was up to now.
"He seems to be in a state of isolation. He doesn't want to speak with anyone except for Kureno, though I am going to see him tonight. He has come down with another of his fevers." He said finishing the rice ball.
Kyo needed to know something that had been bothering him for a while, "Do you know why…I don't change anymore?" He asked Hatori. Right then Momiji turned back into his normal self, quickly getting his clothes on as Tohru looked quickly away.
"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling Akito knows. I'll try and ask him tonight." Hatori said and left to the other room where Yuki and Shigure still sat. Kyo looked down to his beads, he wasn't sure what would happen if he were to take them off, so he kept them on for the time being.
"Kyo, why are you so glum?" Momiji asked from behind him. "Hm? Nothing squirt.." Kyo said and left for the other room. "Kyo's gotten nicer." Momiji said to Tohru who prepared more rice balls while Hatori and Kyo were talking. "He has." She said with a large smile.
Mom, I'm don't know what I can do, but I want to help them. I want to break the curse for all f them. I want them all…to be free.
