Chapter 9
Kyo's eyes snapped open after the strange fog that rolled in his mind washed away. He could still feel the book in the palm of his hands. For a moment he felt rather dazed from the dreaming affects, but his normal senses soon return to normal and he could feel someone pushing on his shoulder.
"Oh, Kyo! Wake up," Shigure said as he kept pushing on him.
Kyo was motionless for a moment before he leaped instantly up and tackled Shigure against the ground. He had his hands around Shigure's neck, "You stupid idiot! Do you know what you just did?"
"Eh?" Shigure said in his confused voice while Kyo tighten his grip around the dog.
"You know damn well what I was doing," Kyo said in an angry tone. The pupil of his eyes turned into slits as he stared down at Shigure.
"It wasn't my fault..." Shigure tried to say, but before he could finish his sentence the door slid open to reveal the ever shadowing, Akito.
"My, my, what is going on here?" Akito said in a calm voice as he looked to the two with a slight smile across his fragile face.
Kyo stared at him in the doorway for a moment before he released Shigure. He understood what was going on now. Akito must have known about the book and now he was trying to prevent him from ever finding the truth. Sadly he succeeded since he just lost his chance to see what really happened. Kyo felt his heart sank as he leaned against his bed.
Shigure rubbed his neck lightly as he looked down to Kyo. He wanted to say something, but with Akito there he couldn't really say much to the cat, "Ah, so Akito now that Kyo is awake how about we have a nice meal? I got a nice takeout for us."
"That sounds good," Akito said as he smiled to Shigure, "Go on ahead. I would like to have a short talk with Kyo."
Shigure swallowed a gulp of air as he nodded his head. He slowly walked to the door before glancing over his shoulder lightly to Kyo who still seemed rather lost in his thoughts. Akito shut the sliding door behind him once Shigure had gone off down the hallway. Seeing Kyo struggling with such pain was rather pleasing to Akito. The cat wasn't meant to smile after all, "Did you have a nice dream?"
"I-"Kyo felt the words from his mouth leave him as he tried to reply with his normal angry response, but he just couldn't do it to Akito.
"I bet you did," Akito said as he walked over to Kyo's bed to pick up the book, "A worthless piece of junk. Did you think you could defy me with this?"
"I wasn't defying. I just want to know the truth. Don't you want to know what happened to all of us?" Kyo asked as he stared up to the still rather calm Akito.
"Do I want to know? What is there to see? Nothing can help us then and nothing can help us now!" Akito yelled as he through the book right through the window, causing the glass to shatter.
Kyo quickly got to his feet to try and get the book, but he was instantly stopped by Akito who grabbed him by the hair, "Did you think you could find hope in that book!"
Kyo grabbed Akito's hands trying to ease him from pulling so hard on his hair, "I just wanted to know!"
"Why? I gave you hope. Beat Yuki and you're in this family. Is it because you know you can't beat him?" Akito said with a light smirk.
"No! I don't want to upset her!" Kyo accidentally yelled out.
Akito gave a quick jerk with his hands to pull out of Kyo's grip, "Her?"
Kyo couldn't believe he just yelled that out to Akito. He remained silent to Akito's question hoping that maybe Akito would calm down but that was hoping for the impossible.
"So, you've fallen for that ugly girl as well. You make a perfect pair. She matches your true form well."
"Don't you dare talk about her like that!"
Akito narrowed his eyes, "I am the head of this family! I do what I want and you are the cat. You will never see that girl again ever!"
Akito threw Kyo's head towards the broken up window. The momentum was too much for Kyo to slow down and he fell through the window shattering the rest of the glass. Kyo felt himself moving in slow motion. Was this the price he had to pay for caring for another? Was this really the curse in motion?
"Why does it have to be this way?" Kyo said in mid air just before he tumbled against the ground while tiny bits of glass fell against him.
Akito stepped over to the shattered window to see Kyo lying against the muddy ground. The rain from the sky was beginning to fall again and Akito could already see the blood from his wounds being washed away. His finger brushed away a few drops of blood that dripped from the broken glass that still hung in the window. Shigure had heard all the noise and made a dash to the room, "Is everything ok?"
"Hmm? Oh, yes. Apparently cats don't land on their feet," Akito said as he walked past Shigure.
Shigure looked to the broken window and he instantly saw the drops of blood, "Oh no."
He ran to the window and saw Kyo lying against the ground, "Kyo!" There was no answer though. Shigure quickly ran down the stairs just in time to see Akito get in his car.
"Shigure," Akito said, "You should keep a closer watch on Kyo. He has gotten more rebellious over these past days."
Shigure frowned lightly but nodded his head to Akito as he slowly drove off. Akito was wrong though. Kyo had begun to find his place in that house he shared with everyone. Shigure brushed off the thought for now as he ran to the fallen Kyo. He had major gashes on his arms, face and body from the glass and Shigure wasn't sure if his fall had injured any more of his body.
"This is a great time for me to be alone. Of course Yuki runs off back to school and Tohru is still there!"
Kyo stirred lightly as he opened one of his eyes. Shigure leaned closer, "Kyo?"
Kyo heard Shigure and he looked over to him, "Is he gone?"
Shigure nodded, "Yeah...but lets not get into that now. Does anything else hurt?"
Kyo growled lightly, "What do you think?"
"Well I'm sure everything hurts right now after a fall like that," Shigure said as he wondered about it with his finger pressed against the corner of his mouth.
Kyo sighed lightly, "Nothing's broken...just my pride."
Shigure came back to reality as a faint smile appeared on his face, "That can recover."
"I never felt so angry towards him...ever," Kyo mumbled as Shigure carefully picked him off from the ground.
"I take it he commented on Tohru."
"Yes...I'm use to hearing things about me, but when he talked about her in that voice of his. Something inside me stirred."
Shigure stepped inside the house as he set Kyo down on some cushions for now, "I think we all feel that way when Akito says things about Tohru, but we can never act on it. I take it you didn't either since you went through a window."
"Shut up," Kyo mumbled as Shigure began to apply pressure on his serious wounds.
"I must be right, since you're angry that you couldn't."
"I wanted to...but I just froze," Kyo said as he turned his head to the side.
"It's only natural for us after all. Like animals who have followed its master blindly throughout the years, it's hard to just suddenly stop following. In time, Kyo you will open your eyes and maybe we will too. For now and for Tohru's sake I would be careful in pushing your luck with Akito."
"I know that..." Kyo coughed lightly. His chest felt heavy and his hand tried to grip it, "It hurts."
"Would you rather have not stood up for yourself and Tohru?"
"No...this pain I can take, compared to that," Kyo said with a faint grin to Shigure.
Shigure smiled, "That's the spirit. Well I'm going to call Hari over here. How about you get some rest."
Kyo nodded his head lightly as he watched Shigure head over to the phone's. One of his hands gripped his chest still, but his other hand had the book Akito had tried to get rid of, "I don't need false hope from Akito. I'll bring hope to myself. I rather go through this pain then giving up."
Kyo was rambling somewhat because he was going to use the book again and he was a little scared he won't come out of it again, but he had to try. He opened the book slightly and let his eyes rest on the blank page. He focused as much as he could until he felt the strange fatigue run over him like before. His eyes slowly shut and he was out as a light for the second round in the story.
Shigure held the phone up to his ear loosely as he waited for one of the servants to get Hatori, "I hope Hari can come. I swear everyone in this family is trying to destroy my house."
"Did you call me to complain?" Hatori said as he listened to Shigure's rambling.
"Ah! Hari, I didn't know you were there."
"Yes, I can hear that. Is there something you need?"
"Well you see, Akito was here earlier and well we had a little incident."
"Incident? He didn't to something to Tohru did he?"
"Oh, no no. She's still at school helping with Yuki, which leaves us with our last young prince."
"Ah, I see," Hatori said as he took a seat in his chair, "How bad is it?"
"It's bad. He must have said something to really get Akito in a stir. Did he return to the main house?"
"Yes he did, but he seemed fine. He's been sleeping since he returned."
"Hmm..." Shigure said as he rubbed his chin now.
"What are you plotting?" Hatori asked as Shigure paused a brief moment to think.
"Hahaha, Hari it's bad enough you accuse me of such things. So, you can come over right away, right?"
"Yes, I'll leave right now. I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Good, Good. I'll see you then," Shigure hung the phone up while Hatori did the same.
"What should I do about Tohru and Yuki?" Shigure said as he paced around talking to himself, "Well I'll pay them a visit at the school to tell them the news...also I can see all the pretty high school girls!"
It wasn't long until Hatori showed up. He quickly got inside since the weather was getting worse by the minute. Shigure was sitting in the room with Kyo still, "Ah, there you are Hari."
"Yes, I came as fast as I could, but the rain got rather bad along the way," Hatori looked at Kyo, "What happened?"
Shigure began to explain what he knew while Hatori began to clean some of Kyo's wounds and wrap them up while he slept, "I see. If the window is broken then water should be pouring in."
There was a brief pause as Shigure stared up at Hatori, "My house!" Shigure ran off to Kyo's room to patch the window. Hatori shook his head, "Idiot."
Shigure was patching the window temporarily, "I swear the whole world is conspiring against my house. Hmm, what's that?" Shigure said as he saw something outside. He leaned a little closer to see Yuki and Tohru walking up, "Uh oh, that's not good. Well it's not good for me since now I can't go to the high school." Shigure let out a depressing sigh as he continued to patch the window.
Tohru and Yuki walked along together in the rain and Tohru stopped a moment to see Shigure patching up the window, "Oh, did Kyo's window get broken in the storm?"
Yuki shook his head, "No...that's strange. It was ok when I was home with him. He did get a little worked up, maybe he broke it."
"Or the storm just now broke it," Tohru added in.
Yuki smiled lightly, "Yeah, that too. Let's get inside Miss Honda, I'm sure Shigure will explain once he sees us."
"You're right. Oh look someone is visiting," Tohru said as she pointed to the parked car.
Yuki blinked lightly, "That's Hatori's car."
Yuki and Tohru both glanced to each other before they made a dash for the house. Both were worried that someone had gotten hurt while they were gone. Yuki busted through the door just when Shigure was walking to the other room, "Oh, I see you're back. Welcome home." Shigure said with a grin.
"Did something happen while we were gone?" Yuki asked as Shigure nodded his head lightly.
"Is everyone ok?" Tohru asked, "Where's Kyo?"
"Well you see...Akito came over and well-"
"All done," Hatori said as he stepped in while everyone stared at him, "Oh, welcome home Yuki, Tohru."
"Hari! You ruined my story!" Shigure whined in the background.
Hatori ignored him as he walked over to Tohru and Yuki to explain the situation. He explained the story Shigure told him and he also explain he was 100 percent sure Shigure added some things to the little story, "Kyo is fine though. He's resting in the next room. With a good days rest, he'll be back on his feet in no time."
"I can't believe..." Yuki began to say, "I know Akito does some violent things, but he hasn't done something like this in awhile. Stupid cat," Yuki said shaking his head. He was angry at Kyo, but not in a violent way. Yuki was angry that Kyo had stuck up for himself while he and everyone else in the family couldn't do such a thing.
"Well as long as Kyo is ok I'm happy," Tohru said with a smile to Hatori, "Thank you for helping him. How about I make something warm for everyone to eat?"
"That would be great, Tohru!" Shigure said as he popped out from behind Hatori.
"Can you stay a little bit longer, Hatori?" Tohru asked as he pushed Shigure back.
"Yes, I'll stay. The rain is getting bad anyways."
"Sure...." Shigure said as he pranced around, "You just want to stay here and taste the wonderful meal Tohru has planned."
"You talk too much," Hatori muttered as he turned his head away.
Tohru turned to Yuki, "Would you like to help me?"
"Oh...sure," Yuki said as he followed after Tohru into the kitchen. On the outside she looked like she was happy, but Yuki knew deep down she was worried for Kyo. As much as Yuki hated to admit, but he wished he was the cat so Tohru would be concern for him. As selfish as the thought was, Yuki too was worried for Kyo since who knew what Akito was capable of.
"Are you awake?" Tohru said in a cheerful voice.
"Oh... yeah. Sorry, Miss Honda. I was just thinking. So shall we make something special for Kyo when he wakes up?"
Tohru nodded her head, "Yes...thank you for thinking of Kyo..."
Yuki smiled back to her even though he wanted to cry. He knew that she liked Kyo more then she liked him, but when will Kyo confess? If he doesn't soon them maybe just maybe he could and she would be drawn more to him. Yuki smiled at this thought as he helped Tohru in the kitchen. Just like there was hope for Kyo, there was hope for him as well.
