Hello, my amazing readers! Here we have another chapter. And in this one we shall see... (drum roll) our amazing and well missed Tohru! Yay! Sorry for those of you who have been waiting for so long. You will see another person who you might have been wondering about... hahahahahahaha...
Thankyou's and Q&A:
Rose of Death: I'm happy you liked it! Please don't kill me!
Cai-nikz: Thankyou for reviewing! I hope you'll like this.
cocoke5: You get to see Tohru, lalalalalala... some strange things are in store for our faverite rice ball! Oh, and no, Kita did not rape his sister. He just beat the crap out of her and then passed out on her... yeah. I'm not that big of a fan for incestish things. Then every kind of intercourse in the Sohma family is kind of like incest... but more indirect! So no immediate family intercourse, yucky yucky. However, that doesn't mean he won't rape someone else in the future...
Um... this won't really have Kari and Sora and them... it's kind of something I've been meaning to add for awhile, but I think you'll like it. I don't know, it might be kind of short... so...
Please read and REVIEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Stabbing Immortal Regrets
Chapter Eight
The Broken Princess and the Prisoner
It was a quiet day at Sohma house. The birds sang happily, and a slight breeze tickled the estate. The god was nowhere to be seen. A petite hand brushed a bar, one that held a soul that had been confined there for years. Sad auburn eyes looked inside, knowing that the soul was probably in a corner, drowning in his pain.
"Kyo?"
No response. Still, the person seeking him didn't leave. She gripped the bar.
"Kyo."
It was now a command, more then a question. Still there was no answer. Silence consumed her, and she couldn't stand it any longer.
"Kyo!"
For awhile, the silence didn't flee. She almost turned to leave, when she heard his voice.
"Hello, Tohru."
The woman sighed. "I almost thought you might have finally escaped. I wish that was the case."
More silence. She tried not to think of how tired the voice of the cat had become, how it sounded as if he had lost the will to fight years ago. She got to the point.
"Kita... he is my son, Kyo. I can talk to him about letting you go..."
"Tohru," came the cat's voice. "Do you have any idea how much he hates you? Did you know he would kill you if he had the chance? He... is a monster."
The woman gripped the bars and looked down. The cat came into view. He looked so tired, like an old soldier who had lost every war he fought in, along with every battle. He looked her in the eyes.
"Why now, Tohru?" he asked. "You've had nothing to do with me or anyone for years. Why now?"
Tohru looked surprised. "How long... how long has it been?"
Kyo stared at her. "Seventeen years."
All Tohru could do was stare. She took a few steps back and sat on a bench. She put her face in her hands and started bawling. "What h-happened to me Kyo?" she sobbed. "What did he do to me?"
The cat looked down. "I've been wondering that for years."
She looked at him, tears dancing down her face. "Tell me about them. My children."
Kyo shook his head. "Kita come's here to torment me sometimes. I've never met Kari. Kita... is worse then Akito. Not to mention he's a genius."
Tohru's eys widened. "What?"
Kyo shrugged. "I actually heard that from Hatori, but when your in the god's presence, you can practically feel his power. I don't know where it comes from."
Tohru looked at him thoughtfully. "How does he treat his sister?"
Kyo wanted to pretend he didn't hear that question. It was one he didn't want to answer. Finally, he sighed. "Practically worse then the others. He's put her in the hospital three times. Once when she was eight, again when she was eleven, and two years ago, when she was fourteen. Always at New Years, he will hurt her. Last year, they thought she might have to go to the hospital, but Hatori said it wouldn't be necessary so they just took her home."
Tohru couldn't believe what she was hearing. But curiosity overcame the shock. "Who is she living with?"
"Hatsuharu. And Kagura's daughter, Sora." He bit his lip, wondering if he should tell her the next part.
"What?" she asked.
He gave in. "A 'Tohru' happened. Two of their friends found out about the curse. They were twins, a boy and a girl. Kita wants them to keep their memory. We all know we can't do anything about what obviously will happen."
Tohru shook her head. "We have to help them, in any way we can. Tell me everything Hatori's been telling you."
The cat shrugged. "He told me Sora's been getting dangerously curious. She and her friends were investigating in Haru's room. He says he is worried that they will do something forbidden. He worries if that happens, Kita will find out."
Tohru just stared at him. "Does... Hatori have any ideas?"
Kyo nodded. "He thinks these outsiders might be able to break the curse, and set us all... free..." he let out a low laugh. "He wants to help them."
Tohru tilted her head. "What is he planning to do?"
Kyo was about to answer when he realized what was going on. He silently cursed himself for getting pulled into it. However, he knew what it would mean if he let her see that he knew. He kept his composure calm, and shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know that. I think he was still brainstorming." He stared at her, silently praying she would fall for it.
Tohru looked at him suspiciously, and then nodded. "I'll do what I can to help." And she left.
Kyo knew he had practically given Hatori hell in a flower wrapped present with a bow on top.
(Kita's room)
The god lay on the floor, gasping, trying to fill his dying lungs, when the knock came. He rolled his eyes.
"Come in, wench."
Tohru walked in and bowed before sitting down. She kept her eyes on the floor. Kita smirked.
"What did he tell you?"
The woman looked up and relayed everything Kyo had told her about Hatori. Kita scowled.
"You're not telling me something. Doesn't matter. I'll get it out of you later." He was suddenly was thrown into an intense coughing fit. Blood drenched his hands. He didn't seem to think much of it.
"Get out," he said.
Tohru walked towards the door and opened it. She stopped.
"What?" Kita asked irratably.
Tohru didn't turn around, but she did bow her head.
"Kari... please be nicer to her. Please don't hurt her anymore."
The god smirked, knowing what cut would strike the deepest. "Why don't you ever protect her?Your mother would have protected you."
Tohru was shaking. She walked out without another word.
Kita tried to go back to sleep, wondering what his little sister was doing.
