Ok here's chapter 3. Disclaimer: We own Luna, Artemis, and Kairi. This chapter has some funny slightly romantic stuff in it. Just read it. Enjoy. Oh ya, this chapter will have dividers.
They entered the house to find Hatori waiting for them. As they entered he got up.
"Is it true? Is Tohru…dead? And who are they?"
Everyone but Kairi darkened. Kyo walked out, followed by Luna. Yuki put his hand on Artemis's shoulder.
"Come
on. I'll show you to your room. You too Kairi."
The three left
leaving Hatori and Shigure to talk.
Luna found Kyo in the forest. He was sitting on a log crying silently for his lost love.
"Kyo?"
His
head snapped up, his tears replaced with fury as he jumped up.
"Go away!"
Luna wasn't going to take his attitude.
"Why?
You aren't the only one who cared about Tohru! She was my sister! I
loved her!"
"You wouldn't understand!"
"Try me,"
she said darkly.
Kyo
scoffed. "Fine. Tohru was the only one too ever except me. Even me
in my true form. She was my mother, sister, friend, and even the
woman I loved. I love her."
Tears rolled down Kyo's face as he
continued. He wiped the away angrily.
"I could never tell her that. Why can I tell you?" He sat down again, his head in his hands. He could tell that the darkness in his heart was slowly engulfing him, like it did so many times when he was a child. Tohru's death had stomped on the little flower of hope that he had been nurturing in his heart. "You know nothing about me…" he trailed off.
Luna sat on the log beside him.
"I know what it's like to be hated, feared, and isolated. I'm happy Artemis and I left the US. We had no friends, family, or home. All we left behind was fear, torment, and agony. Sure we have aunts and uncles and grandparents, but…none of them ever liked us. Dad, mom, and Tohru were the only ones to ever love us. The rest of the family considers us freaks."
"At least you know what it's like to have parents that loved you. I've never had that. Mom hated me so much she killed herself…Dad blames me. I have Shishou, but…it's not the same. I guess you can say I have friends. I get along all right with Haru and Hatori. And then there was Tohru."
Luna rested her head on his shoulder.
"Sounds like we've both been through a lot. You've had friends; I've had family. Neither of us have had both."
Kyo nodded sadly and put his head on hers. He thought that the trampled flower had given away to a green sprout. Perhaps Tohru would never return, but Luna was there. She seemed to have her sister's gift of understanding him. All he had to worry about was the future.
"Luna?"
"Ya?"
"What
do you think our future holds?"
"I don't know. Ask Artemis.
She's clairvoyant."
"So
she saw Tohru's death?"
"No. She can't control what she
sees."
"I see. Your hair smells nice. Like flowers."
Luna smiled.
"That's
because of my power. I deal with herbs, spices, and
medication."
"Another Hatori. Only prettier."
Luna smiled and closed her eyes. Both her and Kyo fell asleep.
"Luna!" Luna slowly awoke to the bellowing of her name.
"Kyo!" Kyo also slowly awoke and stretched. He stood in front of Luna and extended his hand.
"Ready?" He smiled. Luna took his hand and got up from the log and began to walk towards the house.
"Kyo?" Luna leaped over a log.
"Huh?"
"Will
you kiss me?" Luna smiled.
Back at the house, Yuki and Artemis were ATTEMPTING to cook. Shigure and Kairi walked into the kitchen.
"Hey!
What are you two lovebirds doing?"
Yuki silently laughed,
Artemis just blushed.
"We're…um…. cooking," Yuki said with worry in his voice.
"You're what?" Shigure looked at him in alarm.
"Since…Miss Honda is…" A tear slowly rolled down Yuki's cheek. Artemis saw this and walked out of the room.
"Miss Honda!" Yuki went after her. She led him into Tohru's old room. She was reading the letter Tohru wrote to him.
"She
did you know…" sniff "She really did love you."
"I'm
aware." Yuki sat beside her.
"Didn't you love her?" Her face lifted up, she was gazing into Yuki's beautiful purple eyes.
"I did. Once." Yuki gazed back at Artemis. He lifted his hand and wiped off her tears.
"What
happened?"
"She became interested in Kyo. I was always jealous
of him, and to know that he had stolen the girl I loved…" Yuki
suddenly found a piece of dirt on the floor interesting.
"Maybe…" Artemis said quietly.
"Go on…"
"Maybe
you were in love with being in love…"
She lifted his head, and
kissed him. This was a different kiss, a kiss between a normal girl
and a normal boy. As Artemis thought this, she remembered not to wrap
her arms around him.
"Mmm? Wow…" Yuki was definitely surprised. "What was that for?"
"My sister elaborated on your kindness and gentleness that when I saw you, I…" She trailed off. She shook her head and smiled.
"Go on, don't worry…" Yuki was curious as to what she would say.
"I
knew I could…fall in love with you."
"Thank you." Yuki's
warm smile filled the room. "Those words are special to me." Yuki
kissed Artemis very deeply. "Let's go check on those leeks."
"Why do you want me to kiss you?" Kyo gulped. He'd never kissed anyone before.
"Because I like you, Kyo. We both have mood swings." She began to balance on a log. Kyo crossed his arms and smiled.
"What?
I don't get mood swings…"
"Yes you do. I'm an empath. I
know."
"What the hell is an empath?" Kyo looked curious.
"I feel what other people feel." Luna was still on the log.
"What am I feeling?"
"…Give me a minute. I need to focus." She jumped down from the log and sat down. She began to stare at Kyo.
"Embarrassment, anger, apathy, jealousy, exile, and last but not least…you miss Tohru."
Kyo stood there speechless, with nothing but amazement on his face.
"How did you do that?" Kyo's jaw dropped. "You described me as if you were me…do you have any other powers?" He sat beside Luna in shock.
"Hey Kyo. I didn't use my powers…" Luna smiled.
"You…" He didn't say this with anger. It was more questionable than anything. "How?"
"It
was painfully obvious. I knew once I saw you."
"Yes, but…"
Kyo sniffed the air. "Is something burning?"
Reviews! Yes there is a fire somewhere…poor Yuki and Shigure. Opps! Almost gave something away. Now life is gonna get crazy for the gang. Hope this wasn't to mushy for you guys but what's a fanfic without any love problems? Chapter 4 might take me a while to get up cuz it's so long. Soon though, soon. Bye for now!
Meg- Ha, look how you ended...i love it...
