Once Tohru and Yuki entered the classroom, they saw their classmates huddled in the middle of the classroom. "What's going on?" Yuki asked as he came closer to them. One of the boys looked up at him.
"Kitsune's back." he replied. A look of excitement immediately crossed Tohru's face. "And it's about damn time, too." the boy continued, Yuki nodded in agreement.
The sound of random chatter and questions filled the air until the teacher walked into the classroom and cleared her throat. "Excuse me?" Ms. Heiwa said, causing all the student to quiet and turn their attention towards her. "Now that I have your attention, would someone mind telling me what this is all about?" she asked.
"Ms. Heiwa, my sister Kitsune…has finally come back to class." Tohru spoke up. A slight smile crossed Ms. Heiwa's lips.
"Welcome back, Ms. Honda." she said, looking over all of her students until her eyes fell on Kitsune. Ms. Heiwa smiled at the silver-haired girl. "You've missed quite a lot…" Kitsune nodded.
"I am aware of this, ma'am. And I do apologize, it took longer than expected to settle into my apartment." Kitsune replied, lazily closing her midnight blue eyes. Kyo looked over at her angrily. 'You have no clue how hard it was form me to come here to day…you'd better appreciate this, Kyo.' she thought, glancing behind her at Kyo.
The lesson went by quickly, as did the rest of the day. The dismissal bell rang at exactly three-thirty, signaling Kitsune's freedom. "Thank God!" She yelled as she ran out of the building, Kyo close behind her. When Kyo was close enough, he grabbed her wrist, she looked up surprised. "Kyo!" she said, smiling.
"Where have you been?" Kyo asked, trying to keep his anger at bay. Kitsune shrugged nonchalantly. "I hate to admit this…but I've been worried about you." he said softly, causing Kitsune to smile.
"Kyo Sohma? Worrying about little old me? I'm touched." Kitsune replied, twisting her wrist from Kyo's grip. "Seriously Kyo, stay away from me. Like I said when I left…nothing can ever happen between us again. It's for the best, I'm only trying to protect you" She said, her voice solemn and serious. Kitsune then walked away tears falling from her eyes, leaving Kyo staring after her in disbelief.
"But…I love you…" he whispered quietly, a single tear gliding down his cheek. Yuki and Tohru walked up behind him, Tohru then gently placed a hand on his shoulder. "Leave me the hell alone." he said viciously.
