Chapter 5
Nanori ran and ran and ran. Anything to get away from the memory of her sister's hate. Why? Why did her sister hate her? Did Meina really think it was her fault? Maybe it was true. NO, no, it can't be true, I couldn't…I couldn't have! I loved them! I…I couldn't have hurt them intentionally. She screamed in her head, fighting the doubt that wedged its ways into her heart. She stopped running, out of breath. She collapsed on the ground crying. She's right. Meina's right. It is my fault. I killed them. I am a monster. She wanted to die, right then and there. She wasn't worth living. She was a monster, and nobody loved monsters. Nobody. She heard someone crashing out of the bushes behind her. She turned to find the orange-haired boy she had come to love in only three short days. Wait a second, love? She didn't deserve to love. "Nanori? Are you okay? Come here. Don't cry," Kyo said with as much gentleness as he could muster. Admittedly, it wasn't much, but he tried. "I killed them, Kyo. It was my fault. She's right it was all my fault. I could've stopped it, but I didn't. It is all my fault. I am a monster. I have no right to live," Nanori said, deadly, as if all her hope had drained away. "No. No, you're not a monster. It wasn't your fault. You're my best friend," Kyo said, getting angry now. "So get up! Now! It's not your fault, so stop moping and get up!" "Shut up! And stay away from me! I don't have friends! So leave me alone," Nanori cried, her voice giving out at the end. "Why do you want me with you, anyway? What good do I do you or anyone else?" she asked dejectedly. "I'm not leaving you. And you're the one person who knows almost everything about me. Not even Shishou knows as much as you do. So I want you to stay with me, okay? You are my best friend," Kyo said, working really, really hard not to get embarrassed. Coherent sentences were harder to say than he had thought. His shyness got the better of hi though, and he turned around. "So are you done crying yet, or what? I gotta do my evening training. Hurry up," he said, waiting for her to get up. Nanori smiled gratefully. She stood up and walked to his side. "Thank you, Kyo. It means a lot to me. Thanks, buddy," She said, wrapping him in a hug. "Yeah, whatever. You ready to go home yet?" Kyo asked, the blush staining his cheeks deepening. Nanori nodded and took his hand. They set off for the house.
Okay, I know. This chapter is really short, and it kinda sucks. It didn't turn out like I planned it. I'll try to update soon, but I don't know if I'll be able to. I hope so. It's gonna be really hard, because I get traffic of the brain, and it's hard to focus on one thing alone. Oh, and I had some ideas for other stories. Okay here's the first one: Tohru and Kyo have an accident and somehow, they end up being telepathically connected. What happens as a result? Now here's the second one: Tohru and Kyo have had their memories erased and Tohru is sent to England. They meet up again a year later through and Internet chatroom. The curse has been broken by now, and as they struggle to regain their memories, will Tohru and Kyo also get the relationship they once had back? Review and tell me if I should continue the stories! I love you Furuba Freak 22! WOOT!
