Chapter 1: Feelings
Kyo stormed through the door before he headed towards his room. Shigure stared at him for a moment before breaking into hysterical laughter. His 'date' must not have gone quite as good as Kagura had planned. Yuki calmly sipped his tea as he watched Kyo stomp by.
"Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked as he went by.
"Aw, shut up!"
"S-Sorry!" she apologized, backing away quickly.
Kyo slammed his shoji door shut before collapsing on his futon. Stupid boar. She was so goddamn clingy! And so emotional. He knew all of her tears were probably a show and that she'd be back and trying to annoy him again within a few days, no matter how harshly he'd rejected her. Or so he thought.
------------------------
"Kagura…?" Momiji asked softly, knocking on her shoji.
There was no answer. He knocked again, but she neglected to answer. She'd been in there since afternoon. It was now well after dinner and she hadn't come out for dinner at all. He'd called Hatori earlier to have him look at her, but he hadn't arrived yet.
"Kagura, what happened?" he tried again for a response.
"Go away," came her muffled response through the door.
"Kagura! Hatori is coming to look at you… To make sure nothing is wrong with you," Momiji told her.
Behind the shoji Kagura shook her head, the tears building again. She didn't want to be pestered. Couldn't they see she just wanted to be left alone? Kyo's cruel words still rang in her head and her tears only fell faster.
"I can't deal with your craziness! All those stupid boar related mood swings!"
Her shoulders shook with her sobs and she buried her face in her pillow. It wasn't fair. Isuzu had once told her that it was painful to watch her force herself on him and call it love. What she didn't understand was that it was love. No matter what she said. She loved Kyo with all her heart and always had. And he'd shoved her heart back in her face.
Momiji looked around frantically as he heard footsteps, hoping to see Hatori coming down the hallway. It was. He scrambled up to greet him.
"Hatori!"
"Where is she?"
"In her room."
"Do you know what's wrong?" he asked calmly, stopping outside her shoji.
"She won't tell me, but she's been in there since this afternoon," Momiji told him.
Hatori nodded in understanding before knocking on her shoji and calling her name. She didn't answer. He slid the shoji open and her head flew up to glare at him, the tears still shimmering in her eyes.
"Kagura," he acknowledged. "What's wrong? Does anything hurt?"
"No! Just… Just leave me alone, onegai?"
"No. Now tell me what is wrong, or it will be Akito questioning you instead of me," he told her in a harsh voice. One he hardly ever used.
"I… It's Kyo-kun…" she said softly.
"Kyo?"
"He… did something awful to me."
"What did he do?"
"He… He broke my heart."
-----------------------------------
"Kyo-kun!" Tohru's voice rang out. "Dinner!"
"I'm not hungry!"
"But Kyo-kun," she protested. "You didn't eat lunch. It's not healthy to skip so many meals."
"I said I'm not hungry!"
"There's no need to snap at Honda-san." Yuki's fist connected with the back of Kyo's head.
"You damn rat! I don't need to take this shit from you! I told her that I wasn't hungry, so why can't you just let it drop!"
"Someone's in a bad mood," Shigure noticed. "Well, worse than usual," he corrected.
"So, what happened this afternoon that got you so pissed off?" Yuki questioned, helping Tohru set the table.
"Nothing!"
"I think something did happen, Kyo-kun," Shigure agreed with Yuki.
"Kagura was just being herself, that's all!"
"You know Kyo-kun," Tohru started. "She really does love you. I can see it every time she looks at you."
"She sure doesn't act like it! She always beats me up!"
"Maybe if you'd watch what you say to her that would change," Yuki said admonishingly.
"Who asked you!"
Yuki shrugged. "No one."
"You really should give Kagura-san a chance. She'd never want to hurt you," she said cheerfully filling everyone's dish.
"Yeah, well it seems like that's all she ever wants to do!"
"She really can't help it you know," Shigure pointed out. "It comes with the zodiac of boar. The previous boar was just the same I hear."
"I... You know I can't control that, Kyo-kun!"
Kyo's eyes widened as Shigure said the same thing that Kagura had told him.
"Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked.
"What?"
"Are you okay? You spaced out."
"Oh. I'm fine. Look I don't want to eat all that much. Leave some out and I'll eat later," he told her, heading off to his room.
-----------------------------------------
"Broke your heart?" Hatori repeated.
"I… I told him that I loved him, like I do all the time… and he got all mad and… he finally rejected me…" the end of the statement ended on a sob as she broke down again.
"It's okay, Kagura," Momiji assured her. "Kyo just needs to cool down! Then you can tell him again and I'm sure he'll take you back!"
"N-No!" she wailed. "He told me h-he never wa-wanted to se-see me ag-again!"
"I'm sure he didn't mean it!"
"Enough," Hatori said. "I'll talk to Shigure and he to Kyo. It will work out."
"Yay!" he cheered, hugging Kagura. "See! Everything will be okie dokie!"
Kagura shut her eyes, knowing that Kyo wouldn't be happy about this. He wouldn't even acknowledge it, most likely. She could only hope….
