Chapter two: morning sickness
Disclaimer: I will once again say that I don't own anything. Not even my own room. I'm just allowed to live in it. Yeah, sure. Sob
The next morning, Arisa woke up to a sunlit room, wondering when and how did she get here. Since yesterday the pain had wore off, but she still was sick and had no energy to spare. But lying in the bed all day long wasn't going to be all that great either, seeing as how she always thought she was missing out on something. And sleeping wasn't going to work either since she would normally be in school at this time, and a certain someone's faint knocking at the door.
"Who is it…" she just barely yelled.
"It's Tohru. And I'm alone."
"Come in, Tohru." Slowly she opened the door with a smile, and the room just seemed to light up. Arisa thought herself to be lucky to have a friend that seemed to make the world a better place just by smiling.
"How are you doing today?" she rushed over to Arisa to hug her.
"Besides the fact that I'm sick and I have no energy, I'm oh so perfectly fine." She said being sarcastic. "Where's orangey?"
"He went out for some air. He said he needed to do some thinking."
"Oh…" she stared down at her feet. She looked back up at Tohru. "I think I'll go take a shower now."
"Okay," Tohru said joyfully. "I'll be downstairs when you're done."
"Yeah, alright."
Later in the day (while Arisa was taking another shower) when Kyo actually decided to show up the house was dead quiet. Besides the faint sound Shigure's snoring and the sizzling of the stove.
"Where is everybody?" Kyo poked his head into the kitchen.
"Uo's upstairs taking a shower at the moment," Tohru said. "So where've you been?"
Kyo went searching for the milk in the fridge. "No where important."
Tohru took a second to look up at him, but then she just shook her head and went back to what she was doing. Later came a stern knock at the door. Tohru went to attend to that.
"Who is it." She called.
"Nadeshiko Uotani." Came a furious reply. Tohru turned around quickly to face Kyo.
"Go upstairs. Quick." She said pushing him.
"Why."
"Because that's Uo's mom out there." She stressed. "Now please, just GO."
Kyo didn't quite understand where she was going with this, but he went upstairs anyway. This gave Tohru the chance to open the door.
"Misses Uotani," Tohru smiled. "How wonderful it is to see you again."
She gave Tohru a nasty look. "Where is Arisa."
Tohru looked down at the floor, but then she quickly looked back up at her with a smile, "she's uhh…sick! Yeah that's it. She got sick at school, and we decided to bring her here since she was closer to our house."
Nadeshiko rolled her eyes. "Girl stop lying. The school told me what happened."
Tohru looked down at the floor again, this time nearly crying, cuz she knew what was about to happen. So she finally gave in. "Follow me."
She followed Tohru up the stairs, down the hallway to Kyo's room, or what was now 'their' room. Slowly the door creaked open as Uo looked up to find her mother standing in the doorway. She saw Tohru standing behind her mouthing the words 'I'm so sorry' over her shoulder.
"Get up." Her mother looked at her with those angry eyes. "I'm taking you to a clinic." She dug her nails into her fragile skin, yanking her off of the bed. Nadeshiko pulled her along until she felt a jerking motion in her hand.
"I'm not going anywhere with you." She firmly said.
"What are you doing!" she yelled. "You are not going to have this baby. For heavens sake, you are the successor to Surieyu Ryotei. And now you're going to throw that all away for a bastard child!"
"Why are you suddenly showing interest!" she screamed. "You never cared about me. All you ever cared about was yourself and that damn restaurant!"
Uo was caught by the element of surprise when her mother backhanded her. She stood there in shock, surprised that her mother actually hit her.
"Don't you ever raise your voice at me!" Nadeshiko screamed at the top of her lungs. "You don't how much I had to sacrifice because of you! All the things that were made open to you. And now you want to throw it all away on some baby."
"Stop." Arisa shouted, coming real close to crying. "This is my child. I am going to have this baby with or without your consent. So I don't care anymore about what you have to say about Kyo or me or-"
"Who's Kyo." She asked.
"I'm Kyo." A voice said from behind them. Nadeshiko whirled around to see a tall, well-built orange haired teen standing in the doorway.
Nadeshiko looked him straight up and down, then laughed. "So you're the one who got my daughter pregnant." She walked around him slowly, then looked him straight in the eye. "What were you looking for, a whore? A slut?" she chuckled. "Well, you surely found her." She looked back at Arisa, who was now sitting on the bed crying in her hands. "I'll send your father over with all of your things. You're no longer welcome in my house." Nadeshiko hastily walked out of the room, down the stairs and out of the door.
Kyo then turned his attention towards Arisa, who was now staring out of the window, watching her wretched mother disappear behind the trees.
"I don't understand her." She said out loud. Kyo looked in her direction. "she never gave a damn about me. Now she wants to have a say about our child." She turned around to face him. "she's telling me, to kill my own flesh and blood. How could she tell me to do that." She screamed. "how can she tell me to do something, that she wouldn't even do when she became pregnant with me and her own parents were mad at her!"
Kyo grabbed her by the hand, pulling her forward and into a chaste kiss. They broke away finally, Uo looked up as she matched her blue eyes with his crimson ones.
"I can't do this alone Kyo," Arisa quietly said. "Promise me you'll help me through this."
Kyo looked straight in her eyes and said, "I love you, and I will always be here for you." And that was all she needed to hear.
Hi peeps! I actually finished a second chapter to one of my fics! Yay me! Sorry it took my so long but schedule changed, so I couldn't use the library computers anymore. And incase u'r wondering, yes I have a computer, but I don't have Internet cuz my 'Puter is old as dirt . So I have to wait till May to get another one. So to all my loyal readers who will probably read this in class later, I will be back with chapter three later in May after I graduate from middle school (or if I feel like it, maybe sometime before). Now I gotta go cuz I am soooo shleepy right now. Bye Bye Boo!(I watch Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi too much)
