Chapter 4: Feelings
Stephanie was in the kitchen still with Torhu talking about there lives and how it has been hard and how they have dealed with it and looked to the future and hope for it to be better. Stephanie had never cooked before. Please, she couldn't even make a bowl of cereal. Torhu tried to show Stephanie how to make a rice ball for dinner.
" Dinner! " Torhu yelled through out the house. Then all of a sudden everyone came running into the room wanting dinner. Torhu went back into the kitchen and get her rice balls and Stephanie. Soon after that Stephanie and Torhu came out with there rice balls that they made. Torhu's of course were prefect like they always were. Stephanie's on the other hand, were black and brown and smoking. Torhu gave the rice balls that she made to half of the people and Stephanie gave her rice balls to the other half. Of course, Kyo was in Stephanie's half. She handed Kyo his rice balls and his face went from hungry to discussed.
" What the hell is this?" Kyo screamed at Stephanie.
" It is a rice ball. Sorry. I burned it a little," Stephanie said a with her head down low.
" A little! You burned it a litt---What a second how the hell do you burn a rice ball?" Kyo yelled louder.
"I said I was sorry!" Tears started to fall as Stephanie cried out to
the boy. She tried wiping them out, then turned and ran out the room
Stephanie ran right out of the door and into the woods. She ran and ran without looking back. Kyo soon after that got up from his seat and ran after her. He ran out of the door and strode on the porch wondering were she went to. Kyo put his cat ears up and started to listen for any type of sound. Soon he could hear foot steps somewhere in the woods. He started to fallow the sound. The moon was in the middle of the sky shinning giving mostly the only light to see and there were million of stars. Soon Kyo fond himself at a lake where the moon reflected on it. It was so romantic. Kyo looked at it for a second and then he started to hear crying. He soon looked at his left and saw Stephanie sitting on the sand with her head in her knees. He walked over to her and sat next to her.
" Hey. Are you okay?" Kyo said in a soft voice.
Stephanie shot up from her seat half scared to death. " Oh my gosh you scared me" Stephanie gasped putting her hand on her heart. Kyo could tell that she had been crying for a long time.
" Do you want to talk about it what happen back there?" kyo said trying to comfort the crying girl. Stephanie shook her head.
" I am sorry. I am just not in the mood to talk about it after... after seeing Varance again..." she said, then started to cry some more.
Kyo could see that she was about to cry again and did something that not even he could believe. He took his arms and put them around Stephanie embracing her.Stephanie's eye widened. She had just met this boy and already he was hugging her? But she had to admit, it felt good. When she was in his arms she felt safe. Then soon she figured out that Kyo was hugging her to show her that he was here and she wasn't alone and he would away protect her. They stayed like that for about a minute and then Stephanie got out of his grip and looked at him in the eyes. ' His eyes. They are so deep. I can tell he has gone throw a lot in his childhood.' Stephanie thought. Kyo look at Stephanie's hazel eyes. 'Her eyes... there is so much saddness in them. I am here you dont need to be scared. I will protect you.' Kyo thought.
Their faces came closer and closer that they could feel each other's breathing. Soon their faces were only about a inch away. They were about to close the space between them, when all of a sudden, they heard a sound like a branch snap in half. Stephanie soon pulled away from Kyo realizing what she had been about to do. She looked at the direction were the sound had came from. She look behind Kyo to see a cute small orange kitten. The cat started to run to Kyo and Kyo shot up from his seat on the ground and started to run but it was to late because the cat had already jumped on his back with its claws in him. He fell on the ground with his head in the sand.
" HAHAHAHAHA" Stephanie burst out laughing.
Kyo turned around so his back was on the ground and the sat up and toke the cat into his hands. " Stupid cat " Kyo mumbled.
Stephanie heard him and stopped laughing. "That is mean it isn't stupid it just likes you a lot. I wonder way because wild cats are not that friendly." Stephanie said.
Kyo looked up at Stephanie and got a little nervous and started to think of something to say. " Oh it is probably because I smell like fish when Momiji pushed me into the fish bowl." Kyo said without hesitation.
" Yeah probably. It is so Cute. But look at it. It is so thin." Stephanie said picking up the cat from Kyo's lap. " It is still just a baby. It got separated from him mother and doesn't know how to hurt for food. Come on let's go back to the house and get it some food to eat." and with that Stephanie turned around and started to head to the house with Kyo close behind.
