She came running back to him kneeling down putting flowers in his hair as she smiled. He shook his head and tried to pull them out. "I'm not a girl... I don't wear flowers in my hair
"But they match with your hair color..." She spoke softly before taking them out. He rolled his eyes and smirked he leaned up and rested his head on his palms.
"... Kyou-kun thank you for letting me outside to play in the sun."
He nodded. "Your welcome... just please don't trick me." He laughed. "And run away."
"Why would I run away you feed me and you don't beat me with a whip." She smiled to him kindly.
"That's true but you seemed like you really wanted to run back yesterday afternoon."
"... I thought you were going to hurt me... Akito-sama says men only want one thing and when they're done they kill you..."
"There is sick people like that but that would never happen to you so forget what he said and some are jerks but there are ones who will love you and wait till your ready for those commitments."
She nodded lightly as she closed her eyes. "... I love you."
"I love you too Tohru." He patted her head again, which was something he caught himself doing a lot.
She smiled at him kindly. "I'll go pick you some more flowers."
He rolled his eyes jokingly and waved her off. "Don't pick ones for my hair." She nodded lightly as she ran over to a new batch of flowers. He watched her and stretched his back again before allowing his eyes to fall shut. She returned to him once more sitting down before laying her head on his legs.
He turned his head facing away from her to relax to try to talk. "Eh..." She smiled happily as she started to lace the flowers together like a halo.
He strained to hear what she was doing felt his ears twitch. "What are you doing?" He said lazily.
"... Making a halo... Mines broken because of Akito." She spoke sadly as she continued to lace different colors within the halo.
He frowned and furrowed his eyebrows he rubbed at his temple feeling a headache arising he couldn't stop thinking if only he could be like this in school. She slowly reached up placing the halo on his head. She smiled up at him kindly.
He huffed feeling agitated and smirked. "No flowers..." his smirk turned into a wide smile.
"Its not flowers its a halo." She smiled up to him before turning on her side closing her eyes.
"They're still flowers in it..." He laughed lightly. She nodded lightly before yawning curling against him falling asleep.
He sighed and stretched his arms as he stood quietly and lifted her gently caring her back into her room he laid her on the mat and went and sat down at one of the sitting mats and went to drumming his fingers lightly on the table. Haru looked up from where he sat watching the cat glaring at him.
What the hell are you glaring for...?" He turned around and returned the ushis glare.
"You love her... I heard you two out in garden..."
"Of course I do..." He didn't catch on to what the ushi meant but he thought he had already had this talk with him.
He stood slowly scratching the back of his head as he walked out of the room. He growled and followed him out of the room not understanding what the deal was he glared at his back. "Why are you being such a baby what is the matter with you?"
"Nothing I'm going to go get some more food I'll be back soon." He looked to the cat smirking before heading out.
"Will you please quit walking away from me!" He yelled loudly probably disturbing the other guests. He just continued on leaving the state Tohru sitting quietly beside the door.
"God damn it!" He cursed punching the nearest wall a giant hole appeared which made him want to hit it again another hole appeared along with a few others behind it.
She slides the door open as she placed her hands on his. "... Your bleeding please stop..." She covered his knuckles now trying to keep him from bleeding all over the place.
He jerked his hands back and walked back into the room and sat down he wiped his hands on his shirt and felt a little more at ease much of his anger from the past two days went away with each punch who said violence was bad. She walked in behind him staying beside the door. "Do you not want me around Kyou-kun?" She looked to him sadly. "I'll leave and I won't come back so I won't make you sad anymore."
I have a short temper its not you so quit thinking you always make me upset He chewed on his lower lip kneeling his head down to his palm
She reached out for him now. "... Lets go back outside and get you some fresh air... I promise not to put anymore flowers in your hair..."
He shook his head. "I don't really want to go outside right now you can go though."
She shook her head slowly. "I'll stay inside so you're not lonely." She laid down beside him.
He laid his head on the table and started a rant about stupid people and how they need to stop leaving conversations. "Sorry you have to see me all pissy I didn't mean anything by it."
She pet his head softly smiling at him kindly. "... Its ok you listened to me... so I can always listen to you." He flinched away from her hand and turned it facing the other direction he felt uncomfortable being comforted and just shied away from her.
She looked down slowly. "... I'm sorry for being a burden."
"I told you you're not a burden so please stop." He stood up and walked out the opposite hall and to the balcony to look off the edge. She followed behind him like a lost chick reaching out grabbing hold of his hand.
"Tohru I'm sorry..." He took his hand out of hers and crossed his arms to help him fell more comfortable against the rail. She stayed close to him still as she looked up to him she slowly sat down by his feet.
He placed his head on the rail and grabbed his hair in his fingers. "I'm tired of everything right now I should have never of come back..." he spoke softly not meaning to say that allowed.
"... Come back?" She looked up to him sadly now. "... Were you not going to free me from the cage...?"
"You wouldn't have to be in the cage if I didn't come back..." his fists clenched tightly.
"I don't understand Kyou-kun..."
I don't want to talk about it right now..." He looked back up toward the landscape.
She reached up placing her hand on his hand lacing her fingers with his. "... Please don't leave me Kyou-kun..."
"I'm not going anywhere I just wish I would have made different choices I have regrets and now I'm hated by everyone..."
"I don't hate you Kyou-kun... I never will because you saved me from Akito-sama." She smiled up to him kindly.
He gave a faint smile and looked down once again. "It won't last... Everyone drifts away from me at some point I'm not meant to be happy and no deals are gonna change what I am..." He said the last part sadly and to his self.
She rested her head against his leg resting quietly. "... Your the only one I have Kyou-kun..."
He felt crushed at the moment He reached a hand down to stroke her head holding back the tears he new would fall if he kept the conversation going. "I know Tohru don't worry."
She stayed close to him now like a lost child would still holding his hand. "... I'll listen to your problems Kyou-kun... Don't shut me out..."
"I don't like talking about my problems..."
"... You rescued me." She smiled looking up to him. "...Its the least I can do for you."
"Yes I understand that but I still cant... It's just something I don't do... I like to keep to myself." He stood off from the rail and walked a few steps away. She slowly let go of his pant leg watching him before standing back up.
He turned back to her and very oddly she looked different she didn't look like the same Tohru he was amazed by the difference in her she wasn't the normal cheery or ecstatic person she used to be she was replaced with someone different. Personalities truly did make the person he went to walk back inside. "I'm going in..."
"Then I am to." She followed after him smiling as she took his hand she was trying her best struggling to make the boy smile. "Want to play hide the shoe now?"
"Not tonight I think I just want to relax and think." He wanted to go far far away and hide under a rock. She nodded lightly as she followed him still before walking in lying down on a mat. He walked past her and to the other side of the room and sat closing his eyes and thinking about when he should tell her about him being the cat she saved and how Akito had her memories erased he cursed his luck. She moved to him after grabbing a blanket. She sat beside him now covering them both up as she cuddled close to him resting her head on his shoulder. He just sat there stiffly and feeling overly warm he looked around the quiet room and sighed it was going to take forever to get her back to normal.
She drifted off to sleep finally curled against him cautious though to make sure he didn't transform. "... I love you..." He didn't say anything considering him saying that caused so many issues he just let her fall to sleep.
Haru returned shortly with plenty of food to last a few meals he set it down on the table as she moved close to the cat crouching down. "... Like a lost puppy isn't she following a stray cat."
"Shut your face..." He glared over at the Ushi he felt his anger flare awake at the sound of his voice.
"... She hasn't left your side has she...?" He looked down to the sleeping girl petting her head gently.
"What do you think?" He turned to look down at her then narrowed his eyes back up at the Ushi.
"I think she's got a crush on you." The cow started laughing at him now as he petted the girl softly, she didn't flinch this time she almost seemed comforted by it.
"I think she's got a crush on you." The cow started laughing at him now as he petted the girl softly, she didn't flinch this time she almost seemed comforted by it.
"I hope not..." He leaned his head back sighing he brought one of his hands up to his head and stretched.
He looked to the cat smirking a bit. "Good then I won't have competition."
He rolled his eyes and smirked. "Yea whatever keep telling yourself that."
"Aww do you not like me stupid cat." The cow leaned over kissing him softly. "Why do you think I saved her... I saved her for you..."
He blushed 10 shades of red and looked away quickly. "Quit playing with me you like Yuki and you probably saved Tohru because you didn't want her to suffer."
"A little of both I didn't want you or Tohru to suffer." He smirked. "Why do you think I love him?"
"What do you mean why all you do is talk to him and cling to him like it's the end of the world." He spoke quietly not to wake up Tohru.
"You think that's love Yuki was the only one to really accept me. That's why I trust him not love him." He shook his head. "That's what she is doing now with you isn't it?"
"Wow that took you forever." He frowned moving Tohru in a more comfortable position on his lap. The cow looked away from the cat as he moved leaving the room sliding the door closed.
