Title: You Were Mine
By: Author 888
Disclaimer: You know what should be here, so put it here. I'm quoting from Clue: The Movie:
Wadsworth: Mrs. White! You've been paying our friend, the blackmailer, ever since your husband died of under, shall we say, mysterious circumstances.
Ms. Scarlet: Oh!
Mrs. White: Why is that funny?
Ms. Scarlet: I see that's why he was lying on his back, in his coffin.
Mrs. White: I didn't kill him.
Colonel Mustard: Then why are you paying the blackmail.
Mrs. White: I don't want a scandal do I? We had had a very humiliating public confrontation… He was deranged. He was a lunatic. He didn't actually seem to like me very much. He had threatened to kill me in public.
Ms. Scarlet: Why would he want to kill you in public?
Wadsworth: I think she meant that he had threatened, in public, to kill her.
Ms. Scarlet: Oh, and was that his final word on the matter.
Mrs. White: Being killed is pretty final, wouldn't you say?
Wadsworth: He was the one who died, not you Mrs. White. Not you!
Ms. Scarlet: What did he do for a living?
Mrs. White: He was a scientist… nuclear physics.
Ms. Scarlet: What was he like?
Mrs. White: He was always rather a stupidly optimistic man. I mean it came as a great shock to him when he died, but he was found dead at home. His head had been cut off, so had his… you know. The men cross their legs. I had been out all evening, at the movies.
Ms. Scarlet: Do you miss him?
Mrs. White: Well, it's a matter of life after death… Now that he's dead, I have a life.
Wadsworth: But he was your second husband. Your first husband also disappeared.
Mrs. White: But that was his job… He was an illusionist.
Wadsworth: But he never reappeared.
Mrs. White: Well, he wasn't a very good illusionist.
People talking
Think I'm all right
Think I'm doing fine
Going through the motions of my life
Go to work now
Every morning
Yeah I play the part
And hide away the contents of my sorrowed heart
When the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I can't control the flow of all these tears inside
If they only knew
They'd be so surprised
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
Keep them guessing
Keep them laughing
Build that wall up high
As long as they don't see the other side
You really done it
Done a number
A number on my soul
But I'll be damned if I ever let you go
When the sun goes down
And the moon is high
There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and I
Yeah, I'm wearing 'well'
Though it ain't my size
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
It had been three days since Uo and Hana started their visit, only three more days remained. Those days had passed with mainly Uo teasing Kyo, Hana reminding Uo about why they were there, and Tohru and the kids do their daily activities, except more depressed than usual. Every night, Kyo would sit on the roof looking at the sky until Tohru arrived and told him her thoughts. Then she would go down and put the children to bed, finish preparations for the following day, and go to sleep.
"Orange hair! Tohru needs your help!" Uo yelled up the stairs, waking Kyo from his slumber. He had been up late the previous night, helping Tohru with some of the housework she hadn't gotten around to, so he was sleeping late. "Come on!"
Kyo sat up in bed. "I'll be there in a few minutes! Stop calling already!" He stood up, heading towards the bathroom. He was going to at least dress and brush his teeth before helping. He would just have to shower later.
Around the table, Uo was laughing because Tohru appeared to be in five places at once, trying to finish breakfast. "You better hurry, Kyo! She can't handle it by herself!" She was not going to lose an opportunity to annoy him.
"Dammit! Why don't you help her then!" Kyo complained as he stomped down the stairs. He saw Tohru in the kitchen overworking herself and walked over to help her. Soon, she was moving at a human pace again.
"Breakfast is almost done. Make sure I set the table right." Tohru stood at the stove, shutting off a burner. She began to bring the pans of food around, making sure everybody got what they wanted, sitting down after everybody was finished. She sat to the right of Kyo and the left of Kii. Next to Kii was Uo, and, on the other side of her, Hana. Next to Kyo was Tiburo, who sat next to Hana, completing the circle of chairs.
Breakfast started quietly, as always, until Uo couldn't stand the silence. She started to think about what to say. "Orange hair, what are you doing here anyway?"
"She asked called me and asked me to stay with her for a while," Kyo replied after ignoring her for a while.
"Yeah, well-" Uo began, but was interrupted by the doorbell. "Who could that be? The bastard who left his wife, possibly?"
"Uo-chan, please don't hurt Yuki-kun," Tohru asked Uo.
"Look at you! You're still calling him Yuki-kun! He doesn't deserve to live, let alone be your husband, and you still call him Yuki-kun, but I won't hurt him if you don't want me to. At least, I won't hurt him yet."
They rose from the table and went to the door, Tohru and Kyo in the lead. Uo and Hana stayed concealed behind the couple. Tohru opened the door and saw Yuki standing there, Rin attached to him like a parasite, sucking the humanity out of him. "Have you decided to sign the divorce papers?"
Tohru began to cry again. "I told you I'm not signing! I still love you! I still want you!' She fell to the ground. "Come back to me! Please come back to me!"
"If you sign the papers, you'll never have to see me again. I'll just be a bad memory."
"But… but I want to see you again! I want to see you every day as I wake! I want to see your smile when you wake!"
"I don't! I'm over you! I'll never go back to you!"
"That's it!" Uo screamed as she plowed over Kyo, to Yuki. "I'm going to kill you!" She threw a punch at him.
He blocked with his hand, and Rin threw a punch back. "Get away from him you bitch!"
Uo laughed as she dodged the punch. "ME! Me, a bitch! It looks to me like you're a bi-" Yuki hit Uo in the jaw. "Dammit! That hurt!" She countered with a punch to the gut.
Rin glared at Uo. "It's not worth the trouble… Let's go, Yuki." The two started to walk away. "We'll be back, dammit!"
Uo began to run after them. "Get back here! I haven't killed you yet!" Soon, they were out of sight.
Kyo bent down to help Tohru up. He held his hand out. "Tohru… I'll help you up." He extended his hand farther… to have it smacked away.
"Get away from me!" Tohru yelled out in pain as she stood up and ran away. She ran upstairs and slammed her door shut.
Half an hour later, Arisa returned from her run and sat down in the living room. "I didn't get them." She glanced at the kids unenthusiastically playing with toys, and Hana making tea. She then saw Kyo curled up on the ground, like a cat would. She was too depressed to tease him about how catlike he was being.
Evening fell upon the household and still no Tohru. Kyo prepared a meal for the evening and did the dishes again. The house had been quiet all day long and was remaining so. Kyo went to the roof early, not wanting to see anybody, hoping that Tohru would appear. He sat there until the time she usually came up. No Tohru. Perhaps she was running late, so Kyo remained where he was for hours.
Tohru never appeared. She was lying in her bed, sheets and pillowcase wet from tears. She was thinking of Yuki. She was thinking of him when they were in high school and after her marriage. She thought of anytime before he changed. "Why, Yuki? I just don't understand why. Was it something I did to lose your love? Did you just drift away?" Her tears came faster. Please, Yuki. Come back to me…
Kyo lay on his bed, eyes wide-awake. Tohru… Yuki doesn't deserve you. If he's just going to make you cry like that, he doesn't deserve anyone. He shuffled around in the bed, until he lay on his side. I'll bring joy back t your life. I promise…
I'm not one to
Show emotion
Like some fools I see
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeves
I don't miss you
Not for a moment
I'm gonna be okay
Words of wisdom spoken by the light of day
When the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Your memory pulls me under like a strong retire
I'm still in love with you
It's all spoken lies
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
Note: First of all, I would like to explain where the idea for this fiction came from. I have always seen Rin as a whore and Tohru as an innocent victim, so I thought about what hasn't been done that much, if done at all, and decided on something I've never read before. This is the result. Anyway, this chapter brings up some more questions. Will Yuki come back to Tohru? How desperate is Tohru to get Yuki back? What will Uo do if she sees Yuki again? Even worse, what will she do if she has a butcher's knife? How are Kii and Tiburo handling the situation? We'll just have to wait and see. Finally, if somebody was to ask me whether I liked this chapter, I would tell them this chapter was horrible, but I wanted to write and come up with something. I hope the next chapter will be better.
