So...instead of doing my homework I have decided to write another chapter tonight. I guess I feel bad about not writing for so long. Huh, this chapter is the thirty-first. How awesome is that? Wow, it feels just like yesterday that I wrote the first chapter...
Point of No Return
Kyra's POV
"How can I make it up to you?" Haru asked me still holding my gaze. I wanted to trust him whole-heartedly again, but my rational mind wouldn't let me.
"You can't. But I do trust you." Even though I love Haru my ever going memory won't ever let me forget his one small digression. I stood on my tip-toes and gently kissed Haru's forehead before I pulled out of his embrace. "You should still be thinking about a punishment."
When his gaze met mine I knew he was being punished as it was.
"I should go now." I walked over to the window and climbed out silently. I considered my descent as being nimble, but when I fell just walking across the yard my image was crushed.
Next Day at School
"'Morning." I smiled at Tohru when I saw her in the front of school.
"Good morning! How are you today?"
"I'm alright," We parted ways and I headed to my locker. Jacob came into view when I got near it. "Hi Jacob,"
"Are you ok Kyra? You look...dis-shelved." He looked concerned. I tried to smile, but it faltered. He took my hand and walked me out into the courtyard where he pulled me into his arms. I started to cry softly and hugged him fiercely.
"I'm so sorry Jake," He just cooed at me and rubbed my back.
Haru's POV
I sat in the classroom by myself and just looked out the window. It was a nice day outside, but it did not help the dreary mood I was in. This morning on the way to school Momiji, Kyra, and I were all silent. I have expected Kyra and me to be able to talk more, but it seemed she was still hurting on the inside.
Glancing out the window I saw the new kid hugging a girl. At first I didn't care and just thought that Kyra might be perturbed at him being so cozy with someone else. But then the rational part of my mind clicked into action as they shifted slightly. I saw shinning blonde hair over his shoulder and I felt anger prickle my neck.
The long lost Black Haru who had been missing in action for so long started to climb to the surface. He burst through my reserve of strength when I could clearly see Kyra's face. Jacob's arms where around her and I felt like tearing them off just for touching her. I stood up so fast my chair fell over but the bell rang before I go out the door. Swearing under my breath I clenched and unclenched my fists waiting for Kyra and that little prick to come in.
I wasn't angry at Kyra at all. My mind told me she had been manipulated by that jerk and it wasn't her fault so I didn't let on to her I was pissed when she sat down. Class moved slowly and I never removed my gaze from the back of Jacob's head. Once in a while he would glance at Kyra and found me staring at him, but I didn't bother to hide the fact.
The lunch bell had my blood racing and I stalked up to Jacob.
"Can I talk to you? Thanks." I didn't even give him a chance to respond before I pulled him off to the roof. He stumbled over the lip of the door way and he fell to his knees.
"What's up Hatsuharu?" He asked he looked kind of fearful and I reveled in his fear. I smiled cruelly and took a step towards him.
"So, how are things between you and Kyra?" I practically whispered. The malice in my voice was palpable and I saw the fear in his eyes. Laughing softly I took another step towards him. He shuffled backwards crab-style trying to keep space between us.
"I don't know what you're talking about Haru. Kyra and I are just friends." He stammered slightly. I felt my eye twitch when he said Kyra's name but other than that I stayed perfectly still.
"If you are just friends why where you holding her that way this morning?"
"What way?" I narrowed my eyes at his response.
"Why do you have the right to touch her?" Fury added vibrato to my voice and I felt another surge of fury as an image of his kissing her entered my mind. "You filthy bastard." My voice was a low growl and I lunged at him. He scrambled away as fast as he could but I grabbed his ankle. I squeezed a pressure point in his ankle and he stopped his struggle.
"Why are you doing this?" Jacob's courage was in his eyes but he did not try to fight me. I paused to contemplate my answer but I never got a chance to say it. A gasp at the door way had us both turning. Tohru stood there with her eyes bulging out of her head. Instantly I let go of Jacob and stepped away.
"Tohru this isn't what it looks like..." I began before she tore off down the stairs. I felt Black Haru retreat and I sunk to my knees. "Why is life tormenting me?" I mumbled to my self. Jacob seemed to think the question wasn't rhetorical and tried to answer.
"Well personally I think you just have horrible luck." I looked at him sharply.
"Why do you say that?" He shrugged.
"Well, I know you love Kyra and that you would do anything to protect her. I also know that I almost got my ass kicked a few minutes ago because you thought I was a threat. You just have bad luck when it comes to timing and people spreading things around just like what Tohru is bound to do in a few moments." I dropped my head into my hands.
"Oh shit."
YAY I finished another chapter! This one took me a while to complete. I am just not motivated lately. Huh.
