Tohru and Yuki exchanged cautious glances. "Well…" Tohru said feeling quite uncomfortable.
"Well what?" Kagura demanded. Even though she no longer had the curse upon her, she was still as strong and crazy as ever.
"You see. How can we put this delicately?" Yuki said as he ran his hand through his silvery gray hair. "It's kinda true." He braced himself for a loud murderous scream, but it didn't come. Instead he saw her lean against the wall, her eyes wide with shock.
"I can't believe it's true." She said softly. He body then went limp, making her slide down the wall. Tohru immediately ran over, slightly frantic with concern. "Kagura are you all right?" she asked. When she got no response she turned to Yuki. "Oh no! She's not answering. Maybe-maybe she has a cold, or maybe she hasn't eaten!"
Walking over to her, he crouched down beside her, smiling weakly. "It's okay Tohru. She's just in shock. You know how much she had her heart set on marrying Kyo. She's just stunned." He then tried to lift Kagura up, but was swatted away by her hand.
"Leave me alone." She said as she brought her knees up against her chest, resting her arms upon them before burring her head there.
Tohru looked anxiously at Yuki and saw that his eyes were calm. She took a few deep breaths and let him lead her out of the Kitchen. Dinner could wait she thought. It was more important to let Kagura cool down than to scoot her out of the kitchen.
"Now you sit here." Yuki said with a gentle smile as he seated Tohru in the living room. "I have a feeling that it would be a good idea to warn Kyo that Kagura is here." He gave her another smile.
"Do you really think she'd attack him?" she asked, a slight frown on her face.
"With Kagura, I don't know what to expect." Yuki said with a chuckle. "I'll be back in a few minutes." He said before walking out of the room.
When Yuki got outside, he pulled out his cell and dialed Kyo's number. He listened to it ring, and when the voice mail came on, Yuki left a message. "Kyo, you better guard your balls. Kagura is here… and she knows." When he was done he hung up and couldn't help but laugh to himself. This is going to be interesting he thought.
When he went back into the living room, he saw that Tohru was gone. He wondered where she could have gone to. He shrugged and decided to go and actually search for Kyo.
Just like the sweetie she was, Tohru had wandered back into the kitchen with a blanket for Kagura. She didn't say anything to her and just wrapped it around her. She handed her some tissue before going back to her cooking. When she was actually done with the food for the special dinner, she decided to use the left over meat and rice and make Kagura some rice balls.
Carefully Tohru molded the rice in her hands, and decided to make them in the shape of a star and a heart. She knew that it would make her feel slightly better. When she had finished with them, she placed them delicately on a small rectangular plate. She then walked over to where Kagura was still curled up. She crouched down and held the plate out for her.
"I made you some rice balls. I thought that you might be a little hungry." Tohru smiled gently at the heartbroken Kagura. She watched as Kagura looked up at her and then down at the rice balls. When she saw that Kagura's hand was hesitant, Tohru gently nudged the plate closer. "It's okay, I made them just for you." And with that dazzling smile that made everyone love her, Kagura nodded and took one of the star ones. She nibbled on it before stuffing the rest of it in her mouth.
"It's tasty." She said with a weak smile. "May I have another?" she asked. Tohru nodded and handed Kagura the plate. "How about we move to the table?" she asked. Kagura nodded as she stood up, a bit off balanced, but still on two feet. Tohru walked her to the table. She left to go and get some nice hot oolong tea.
Taking the mug that Tohru offered, Kagura took a tentative sip of the hot liquid. "It's tasty!" she said with a smile.
Tohru was just happy to see some color coming back to her face. "I'm glad!" she said. "Now how are you feeling Kagura?" she asked as she twiddled with her sugar spoon.
"Really sad." She said. But before Tohru could answer, Kyo barged into the kitchen. "What's this I hear about Kagura being here!" he demanded before he saw she was right in front of him. "Oh shit!" were his last words.
"Oh Kyo!" she said as she got up from the table, the blanket falling from her shoulders. "I can't believe it's really you." She said as she walked closer to him. "YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" She had taken him by the front of his shirt and began to beat the living day lights out of him. "HOW COULD YOU BREAK MY HEEEEAAARRT!" she asked as she began to spin him in the air. "HOW COULD YOU BREAK OUR PRRRROOOOOOMIIIIIISE!" She demanded. Kyo was barely conscious and breathing.
With all the noise going on in the kitchen, both Arisa and Yuki came running into the kitchen, followed by Kisa and Haru.
"What in the world is that hussy doing to my husband!" Arisa asked as she saw Kyo bleeding on the floor. She decided not to wait for an answer and sauntered over to Kagura. She towered over the girl, her eyes an icy blue. "Bitch, you better let go of my husband right now!" she said.
"YOUR THE WHORE THAT TOOK AWAY MY KYO!"
"Honey, I never took him away… he came to me." She said as she rolled her sleeves up.
"Uhm-erm- well.. guys?" Tohru asked, trying to calm the situation, and failing miserably at it.
"It's okay, they'll hash it out in their own brutal manner. How about you and Kisa get some ointments and bandages ready for when it's over?" Yuki said softly, knowing that the fighting made her uneasy.
"Okay, we'll go do that. C'mon Kisa, let's leave them alone." Tohru said as she walked slowly out of the kitchen, away from the noise.
When both Kisa and Tohru had left, Yuki and Haru decided to drag Kyo away from the fighting women. They knew that this battle was going to be a doozy.
"C'mon bitch, I dare you to try and hit me." Arisa said as she gestured for Kagura to come at her.
"I WILL YOU-YOU SEDUCTRICE!" Kagura then lunged at Arisa, and swung out, only grazing her arm.
"Is that all you got skank?" Arisa asked as she stuck her hand out and onto Kagura's head, preventing her from coming any closer.
"I'M ONLY GETTING STARTED!" She said. She knew that she was at a disadvantage, and then she saw the hot tea. She grabbed her much and threw the hot liquid at her, hitting Arisa in the face.
"You whore!" she screamed! Arisa was done playing nice guy, she was ready to fight!
"BRING IT ON!" Kagura said, practically growling up foam, as if she were a rabid boar!
The two were going at it, punches and biting and nails and kicking. It was getting very brutal and dangerous. The fight slowly gravitated towards the cooking area of the kitchen, where the men were. The men moved away quickly, and headed to the hallway, where Kisa and Tohru were getting bandages.
"I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU HAVE HIM!" Kagura said on a scream. She looked around frantically, and saw the cleaver on the counter and grabbed it. She held it in her hands, like the feel of it. "KYO IS MINE."
Arisa stopped. She was now cornered at the kitchen counter and sink. She thought that hitting her with some of her punches would have worked, but this girl was wild now. Her eyes were enough to tell you that she was absolutely serious. Arisa eyed the cleaver in Kagura's hand. That thing could do a lot of damage, and it had been almost 10 years since she was in a Yankee gang.
"Now hold on there." Arisa said as she put her arms up in surrender. "You don't need to be so rash."
"SHUT UP!" Kagura swung and…
A/N: I am sooo mean right! I mean I left you with another cliffy. And trust me it's not going to be too predictable. I mean that cleaver is going to get used. Yup it will. DON'T HATE ME! Please read and review. Be glad that I'm updating! Yay!
