Story Of My Life-Truth Be Told
"No, no, Tohru I don't think that he should see anybody right-"
"Shishou, i-its all right. I'll only be a minute. "I said putting my hand on his shoulder. He looked back at me, "Ok, but only for a few minutes, you need your rest." He said ruffling my hair and then going back to where ever it was that he goes…
I leaned against the frame of the door. I really, didn't want to talk to her but, she was here and I already sent Shishou away.
"Kyo! Are you all right? Why-why did you leave!" too many questions…
"I have my reasons." My voice felt thick, and not mine.
"I-I'm sorry." I twitched when I saw her put her head down and her little shoulders started to shake ever so slightly. I really can't handle this.
"Tohru?" When she didn't look up and lifted her chin with my hand and kissed her. It was brief though. I then took a step back and looked at her with the most cruelest eyes I was able to give, with the most emotionless voice I told her, "Go home." And shut the door. I didn't want to do this to her. I didn't want to make her feel like she was nothing, and that I hated her, and that it was all her fault. But, I had to make her go away. If she gets hurt in order for me to be happy, I would never be able to forgive myself. I sighed and walked back to the living room where Shishou was waiting for me.
"Finished?"
I sat down and put my head on the table, "Yeah."
"What did you tell her?"
"To go home."
"And she went?"
"I hope so." I couldn't believe how badly everything was turning out.
The next day was no different, I missed school again I still didn't think I was ready to deal with anyone just yet. Tohru came by today too, but I refused to see her. I had to distance myself. So, as the days went by, she would come everyday and leave a note for me. It was almost four days before I finally decided to read what the letters said. I sat outside under a tree and read the first one.
Dear Kyo,
Hi! How are you? I hope you are doing all right. Everyone here at the house is doing well. Shigure-San is the same as always and Yuki-kun is just as well. Momiji and Hatsuharu have been by, and Hatori-san also, I think Momiji wanted to see you, but I told him you were resting at Shishou's home. Ah! Kagura-Chan Was also by, but I think she already knew you were at Shishou's house. Well, it's time I went to bed! Sweet Dreams!
-Tohru
I sighed and folded the paper back up. There were three other letters to read; including the one from today. I sighed and picked up the one from today.
Kyo,
Hi. I have some news; Akito-san has asked that I come to the main house for a visit tomorrow. I'm scared, but I know I have to be strong. Maybe after the visit I can go a visit you? Who knows? I hope you are doing well. The last time I saw you, you seemed…not well. Well, I have to go now. Bye! I hope all is well.
-Tohru
I took in a sharp intake of breath. She was going to the main house? That can't be good. I groaned and put my head down on my knees.
"Kyo?"
"mm?"
"Mind if I join you?"
I shrugged. Shishou sat next to me and looked off at the distance.
"Akito just called."
I took in a sharp intake of breath.
"He said that he wanted you to come to the main house tomorrow…"
I turned my head to him, "O-ok."
The next day, was like hell. I didn't want to get up at all. I was scared of what was going to happen today. It was a bright beautiful day. It looked like it was one of those days where nothing could go wrong, but looks can be deceiving. Once we arrived to the main house, just Shigure was there.
"Tohru is already with Akito, go on ahead." Shigure gave a small evil smile that I think only I saw.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, he wanted to see you both at the same time."
I shuddered and went to the room where Akito was. Tohru was sitting down in the middle of the room. I looked around and saw Akito at the window standing perfectly straight with his back towards me.
"Is that you Kyo? Sit next to her." I jumped and went and sat down next to Tohru. What was going on? Akito turned around and walked to us. He stopped right in front Tohru and then looked at me. "You know, in olden times they used to nail people's feet to the floor while their loved ones were being tortured so they couldn't go anywhere, and watch." He chuckled to himself and tilted his head to the side and gave a cruel smile, "Well, I'm not going to nail your feet to the floor but if you do anything I'll kill her."
My eyes widened and I suddenly was afraid for the both of us. Akito leaned down and slapped Tohru hard across the face. I tensed and forced myself to watch. This was all my fault. He continued to do to Tohru what he did to me, only worse. He took out all of his anger on her. And she just sat there and endured it like any one of us would. He pulled her hair, scratched her face. Kicked her, pushed her, called her horrible names, and told her so many things that would make any person feel worthless. He slapped her one last time and tried to catch his breath Tohru was on the floor and was breathing heavily. Akito walked over to me and kissed my forehead.
"Good boy. Someone come and pick up this trash!" he yelled and went away into another room. My chest felt tight as I looked over at Tohru who was still on the floor. Before I could get up and tell her anything Shigure and Hatori walked in. They were both shocked at what they saw. They looked at me and I knew that they felt this was all my fault. I shouldn't be putting her through this anymore.
