Chapter 2: Resolutions

"Kyo-kun did?"

"Hai."

"Whoo boy," Shigure said, holding the phone to his ear.

"Talk to him, why don't you. Kagura's in a bad state," Hatori answered.

"You think he'll listen to me? I don't know…"

"We have no choice. Try, Shigure," he said.

"Alright… For you Tori-san."

--------------------------

"Kyo-chan?"

"Don't call me that, dammit!"

"Alright, alright! Kyon-Kyon… I need you to tell me something. The other day, when you were with Kagura…"

"Don't tell me, she gave you some crap about how she's so heartbroken-"

"She's really upset about all this."

"Yeah! Well, I'm sick of being beat up every time I'm with her!"

"She doesn't mean it… You know that."

"Kyo-kun!" Tohru called cheerfully, knocking on his shoji before coming in with clean laundry.

"Hmmm." Shigure rubbed his chin thoughtfully. If there was anyone who could make Kyo listen, it was Tohru.

"Tohru-kun, could I talk to you for a moment?"

"Sure," she easily agreed, stepping out with him. "Yes?"

"Kyo-kun has got himself into a little bit of a jam," he started to explain. "He… that is, in a fury, he broke up with Kagura. Now she's broken up about it and… well, I don't think that Kyo-kun meant it…"

"Oh… that's horrible! Poor Kagura-san…"

"Hatori-san and I were just wondering… If perhaps you could convince him to go back to Kagura and apologize…?"

She nodded firmly. "Of course!"

"Thank you!" Shigure could have hugged her he was so happy that she'd taken the difficult task off his hand, but that would lead to 'problems.'

She set off back into Kyo's room and shut the shoji in order to have this talk she was supposed to give him. Actually she supposed she was supposed to scold him for being so stupid. He stared at her as she sat across from him, her body tense and rigid.

"Kyo-kun!" she started bravely, pointing at him. "I can't believe you rejected Kagura-san!"

"Dwah?" He was completely thrown off by that one.

"Kagura-san," she repeated. "I heard that you gave up on her."

"So what?"

"You really hurt her, Kyo-kun!"

"I don't care!"

"You should! She loves you! You shouldn't be so insensitive to her feelings!"

"Bu-"

"You should apologize! Take her out! She's done her best, Kyo-kun!"

"She's such a bitch though!" he argued.

"That's no excuse!"

"I'm sorry!"

"Don't tell me. Tell Kagura!" she ordered, breathing harshly as she finished berating him.

------------------------

Kyo absently stared at his wall, debating what he was going to do. He could no longer deny that what he'd done was wrong. He knew that he should have heard Kagura out before rejecting her. Half the reason she was so violent was what he said to her all the time about not liking her and not wanting to spend time with her. How much of that statement was true, he didn't know, nor did he care to find out.

While Kagura was annoying and clingy, she was also devoted, not to mention attractive. Her brown eyes had a way of drawing the onlooker in and capturing them. He shook his head against the unsettling thoughts and returned to his current predicament. For the time being, he supposed he could just apologize and tell her that he would give her another shot.

For now.
