Chapter 6 Confessions

Ritsu looked at himself in the mirror. He imagined him how he looked in the past; long hair and always crying. Though his hair was growing back and was now hitting his shoulders, he thought he looked different. Though the question was, was different good, or was different bad? "Well", he said to himself, "if what Shigure says is true, that she will like any me...right?" He sighed and put the mirror down. "I need to know if she likes me for who I am and not for whom I'm trying to be...That is if she likes me at all."

Ritsu took off his "boy" kimono and pulled out a dress. He took one last look at the kimono on the floor and put on the dress. He pulled out a ribbon out of the dresser and tied up his hair. He looked into the mirror and let out a sad smile. "This is who I am..."

Tohru looked at all of her gifts. The necklace, the earrings, the bracelet, the dress, and the shoes and...Shigure's... (Which she was forced to keep)...and looked, again, at the necklace and the bracelet. Two people popped in to her mind, Kyo and Yuki. Though, after some time the only person left was...Kyo... She smiled as she felt her heart race. She looked in the mirror and imagined Kyo standing next to her. She put on the necklace with the locket and ran out of the room. She ran out of the hall and headed to Kyo's room. As she ran down the hall and right at that moment Ritsu walked out, and Tohru ran straight in to him.

POOF!

"Ow." Tohru looked and saw clothes spread under her. She picked up herself up on her hands and knees and looked at the floor under her. Then she noticed that lying under her, was a small brown monkey. "Ritsu! Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry!"

POOF!

Ritsu transformed. Tohru, starring at his body, yelped and blushed. She pulled her hands from under her and covered her eyes. She lost her balance and fell on top of Ritsu, again.

POOF!

Again she pulled herself off him, "I'm so sorry!"

Ritsu looked up at her though his little monkey eyes. "Ms. Honda?"

POOF!

This time Tohru turned around. Ritsu shot up and quickly put the dress on his clothes as fast as he could. "I am so sorry, Ms. Honda! I'm so sorry." Ritsu fell to his hands and knees and put his head on the floor. "I'm sorry! I apologize to you! Forgive me! I should have watched where I was going! I'm so sorry!"

Tohru turned around and looked at Ritsu. She went to her knees and rested her hand on his head, "Ritsu?"

Ritsu looked up and by accident; his head went straight to her chest. Quickly he pulled it down and hit his head on the floor. "I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! I'll punish myself for you!"

Tohru, unsure of what just has happened looked confused.

Ritsu, feeling terrible slammed his head down onto the floor, and again and again.

"Ritsu!"

He did it again.

"Ritsu! Stop!"

He brought it down again and his head started to bleed a little.

"Ritsu! Please!" Tohru started to cry. As Ritsu pulled his head up and was about to bring down again Tohru put her hands on the floor. When Ritsu brought his head down, he hit her hands.

He looked up at her. "Ms. Honda...? Why did you do that...?"

"Don't hurt yourself! Please!" Tohru cried. "Why are you doing that? Why are you hurting yourself?"

"Ms...Honda...? Ritsu looked at the floor and whispered, "Because no one cares about me."

"..."Tohru heard those words and she stated to cry more."How can you say that? That no one cares about you?"

"It's true, Ms. Honda. No one does..." Ritsu's eyes filled with tears as he realized the truth. No one does... He thought.

"Rit-san. I care about you. I don't want you to feel like that. I care about you!"

"Why? Ms. Honda? Why?" He went to his knees. "Why do you care about me? No one else does! So why are you the only one!"

Tohru looked at him though her tears. She grabbed his hands. "Rit-san? Why are you acting like this? You weren't like this before!"

Ritsu pulled his hand away and brought them to his head, and then he pulled his hair.

"Ritsu! Stop! Stop it!" Tohru grabbed his wrists and pulled them away, "please!"

Ritsu tried to pull away but Tohru held them with a firm grip. He tried to pull away again but she pulled back. When she pulled, Ritsu he fell on the floor. Ritsu's head landed on Tohru's lap and she started to stroke his hair, and he struggled to get away.

"Please, Ritsu, listin to me." Her voice stopped him from struggling. "Ritsu...I care about you. You are my friend."

Pain stabbed him though the heart like a knife. "A...a friend...?"

"Yes. And you are nothing less," said Tohru.

"And nothing more." Ritsu said softly.

"Huh...?" Thoru asked.

Ritsu sat down and looked at Tohru in the eyes. He sighed and gathered all of the courage in him. "Ms. Honda...Tohru...You are more than a friend to me. You are a beautiful woman and the only woman and person who have made me feel loved, needed, and feel like a person, and not just a thing. Tohru...I love you so much. I want to be by your side until the day I die. I love you!"

"Ritsu..."

"And I know you don't love me but...me just...I just wanted you to know..." Ritsu stood up, slowly and without looking back, he walked into his room.

Tohru stood up after about a minute and quietly headed to Kyo's room.
