Chapter 13; Things Said and Done
Tohru was up on stage and then music came on. Everyone's in the club turned their heads to her and she opened her mouth as the intro died away.
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know
Uo growled under her breath and all the Sohma boy's just stared at their sweet little onigiri as she sung. Hana looked like she was about to laugh, and that was strangest sight anyone would've ever seen if anyone was watching.
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Tohru was dancing again and each Sohma boys forgot to listen to the words. She caught
Haru's eye at one point and winked at him before spinning around and smiling. The crowd was captivated by her.
'Dear god. I thought she couldn't be more perfect, but my Tohru is a goddess in every sense!' Haru thought. He then stole a look at the other boys and wanted to bite their heads off. Black Haru was coming forward just because he wanted to hear her sing just for him and him alone. Not to a bunch of strangers and certainly not to his stupid cousins. He twitched but then listened to his sweet little Tohru again. Music is meant to slay the savage beast and Tohru always soothed his beasts for him.
Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
Momiji sighed as he watched Tohru up on stage. He would've liked to go first and show off to her, but this was good as well. Tohru sung beautiful and her stage presence was almost as good as his.
'She is perfect. I don't think she could be any better than she already is. And luckily for me, she is all mine.'
He stared at her and as she sung just a few more lines he felt his heart break. Why did Tohru have to choose such a sad song to sing on her first go? Was it something to do with what Uo was doing?
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Yuki blinked. He looked at Tohru, and then looked at the others at the table. He looked at Tohru, and then at the bar. He looked at Tohru, and then at Tohru. He looked at Tohru, and only Tohru. Now he only had eyes for her. She was singing so beautifully, and he realized again that he did not know much about her at all. Before last weekend, he hardly knew anything. Now he knew her hobbies and what she really good at. It was amazing that he could've learned so much.
He loved listening to her. Yuki discovered. She was sweet and so sexy. She was perfect and absolutely gorgeous. Though, he personally thought that she should sing something better. Like a beautiful ballad. Or being in a on a stage. A really proper one. Like with her own people and him…no wait. She should be here where he can be with her, and then her with him.
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
Kyou sighed. He thought that even though she was shy and cute and gorgeous and beautiful and stunning and…wait, what was he saying? Yes Tohru was all these things. She looked over this way and looked at everyone, Kyou was last. Their eyes held and then suddenly Kyou lowered his. It was plain and simple to him all of a sudden. She wasn't his at all. How could he even think that about her, when she was good to him. Tohru was too good to be with any of the Sohma's, especially the neko.
He sighed. Tohru wasn't his. Now he understood that she could never love him that way, everything hurt. He looked at his cousins and wanted to kill them for not being cursed as he was. If he took off his bracelet, he would still be cursed. And how did they know that curse had actually finished? A curse is made in hatred and spite. As a punishment. So why had theirs just so suddenly ended?
'Maybe it hasn't. Maybe it just doesn't act that way around her because she has given us the chance to all heal. But heck how can we with centuries of pain and anger?' He thought and then sighed. No point thinking about that just yet.
You and me I can see us dying...are we?
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Saki Hanajima found that fact that Tohru was singing this to annoy Uo hi-larious. But then she thought of the reason that Uo was pissed and her good mood left her. She slowly turned her head toward the Sohma boys. They were all bad news. They should not be here. They should not know why it was like this. They didn't deserve it all. No one did.
Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
To say Uo was pissed was very big underestimate. She wanted to thrash Tohru within an inch of her life. Why did she have to THAT tonight with THEM here! Didn't she get the fact that Kyoko was dead now and these people didn't know squat about her!
Uo was too upset to think about it. Tohru's song faded. She knew that Kyoko had loved that song. She'd always sing it when they came here and it was the last thing she sung. Well to Uo at least. And now, Arisa Uotani wanted to cry. She missed Tohru's mother so much it hurt. And yet she knew Tohru felt the same way, but she didn't cry. Not at all. She didn't sit awake at nights and weep because now she was truly alone. Uo was. Tohru was. So why didn't Tohru fall to pieces like Uo did often?
Uo hated her for that. And she hated the fact that the Sohma's she spent all her time with didn't know, and still didn't understand! They should fuck off. They didn't need her.
So Tohru got off stage and many people where cheering her. She walked over to the group and was bombarded with questions which she laughed off and sat back down.
"So you guys liked it?" She asked smiling softly. Everyone bar Uo began gushing out compliments again. Tohru smiled slightly and blushed. Uo glared at her and then up at the stage.
"I need to talk to you Tohru Honda." She said coldly and the boys finally noticed.
"Ok Uo, but it won't change a thing." And the girls got up. For once Tohru was standing up proudly and facing her friend. The boys and Hana watched as they girls went into a corner of the room for private. Tohru and Uo were arguing and they strained to hear until a song was played over the speakers. A person was on the stage. None of the boys paid much attention to them. They were focused on Uo and Tohru.
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
"Look at the way she is standing. Its amazing. I've never seen Tohru like that before." Momiji whispered and the other boys agreed. Tohru held her head up and was arguing right back with her. She flung her arms about and Uo jabbed at her. Tohru shook her head and Uo hung hers. Then the Yankee glared at her, before shifting it to the boys and Tohru touched her arm.
"What the hell is going on?" Hatsuharu said and Uo glare rested on him before turning to Tohru again, they begun to yell.
But you see it's not me,
It's not my family
In your head, in your head
They are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head,
In your head they are cryin'
The girl on stage watched them as she continued to sing. She saw he Sohma boys, but her gaze stayed on Kyou. He was radiating hurt and defeat. She could not allow that to happen. He was the one. He couldn't lose.
Her gaze shifted to the fighting friends. Uotani seemed mightily upset and Tohru wasn't doing well either. The pain coming off her right now was strong, and she fought to remember why she didn't always see it. Tohru hid her emotions. The girl didn't know how or why but Tohru did and was very skilled. Was that why Uo was angry?
In your head, in your head
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie (eh eh eh)
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie (eh eh eh oh)
(do do dooo do, do do dooo do,
do do dooo do, do do dooo do)
Kyou felt the pain as well. Only he and Tohru could know that pain. They both had nowhere left to turn, and Kyou understood when she got like that, to help her. Kyou got up and walked over to her and Uo. They didn't understand. He needed to help. While he knew he couldn't be with Tohru, Kyou understood the importance of helping her right now.
Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head,
In your head they are dying
With Tohru and Uo
"You shouldn't be doing things like that Tohru! What about some fucking respect? You don't even know the Sohma's that well. Where the fuck do you get off doing something like that? I thought you loved your mother but obviously you didn't need to fucking grieve!" Uo snarled as she rounded on her friend. Uo was hurt and Tohru should goddamn feel it as well. But Tohru raised her head and stood up straight, looking her best friend in the eye.
"You honestly think that I shouldn't have done that? I am sorry to tell you Arisa, but you are not my mother. I love you dearly, but you have to live with the fact that I did do it." Tohru said and Uo looked even angrier. "Uo,"
Arisa Uotani jabbed a finger into her chest and cut her off. "NO TOHRU. I don't. I want you to have respect for the dead. Hell you don't even care about her anymore." Tohru went stiff.
"You are saying that I don't care about my mothers' death Uo?" Tohru said harshly. "Well I'm telling you how hard it is for me to go on each day without her." Tohru was bitter. "I loved her more than anything else in this world. She died the one day I forgot to tell her that. And now I have a family that hates me, all apart from my Grandfather and my friends. But Uo, how can you call yourself a decent person when you make remarks like that?" Tohru asked. She now just sounded depressed. "I cannot spend my life mourning my mother. I understood that the moment dad died. Your earliest memories aren't of your own mother weeping every night. Yours aren't of having to forget your own pain and comfort others. Uo that is what I do. I have to do it."
Uo looked down, shamed. Then looking up she glared at everyone she could. How could she even do that to her best friend?
She remembered Tohru comforting her after she left the gang, and when she was in it. She remembered Tohru crying for a whole two days, and then helping everyone else grieve. She remembered seeing Yuki smile after Tohru went to live with him. She remembered Hana looking content because Tohru accepted her. Uo always knew all these things. She also remembered that night at Kyoko's grave, Tohru hunched in the mud all alone. And then she remembered the little looks Tohru would get. She remembered that what she was saying was fucked up and wrong. Arisa Uotani began to cry. She was horrible.
And then a hand was on her shoulder and she went into her best friends embrace. Tohru still was comforting her even now. How did she even get such a good friend?
In your head, in your head
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie (eh eh)
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie (eh eh eh oh)
(oh oh oh oh oh oh
ehhoh owhh owhh)
"I'm glad you too are hugging. Another second and I thought there would be a cat fight!" Kyou said and the girl up on stage finished. Tohru looked up and smiled at his very bad pun.
"Well Uo was just, a bit unhappy." She said and Uo was still crying on her shoulder. Kyou understood immediately and smiled. Tohru gave him a beautiful smile that held nothing in it but pure love and caring. Kyou felt his break a little, but then strengthened his resolve. How could he do something to one so innocent? Was he that much of a bastard?
Tohru let her friend cry on, and felt pain coming off Kyou in waves. There was nothing she could do right now though. All her energy was being focused on Uo. She reached out to touch him, so Kyou would meet her eyes. He pulled back from her and Tohru sighed. Quickly she glanced over to the others and smiled. They were all happy right now.
Slowly the weeping girl stopped crying and found herself seated on a long couch next to Tohru and Kyou. She wanted to cry again. That one song reminded her of Kyoko so much. Of how she'd really let Tohru down. Uo wanted to cry again, but then Tohru met her eyes, and in them Uo found no malice. All she saw was the purity of that gaze and she felt better. That was always the thing only Tohru could do, heal someone.
