Wilted Flower:Chapter 4 -Euphobia
"The fear of news."
"She wants Tohru to come too…"
An eyebrow was now raised on the Sohma Inu's face, mainly out of concern, but curiosity as well. "Maaa, to the banquet, Ha'ri?" he said softly as he looked up, exhaling the dark, thick, cig smoke into the sky. A firm nod was Shigure's answer.
"You know Akito is planning something…heinous, you being her loyal canine pet," Hatori said icily. Shigure's dark eyes narrowed. A few seconds later, the coldness in his eyes were gone, though replaced by firmness. "That was a bit harsh, Hatori," he spoke. "And seeing that we are discussing a serious matter, I believe it best that we refrain from classifying others."
Shigure wouldn't admit it, but it was true. He was the Inu. Man's so called "best friend." Second to last in finishing the zodiac (that's right, right?). He had to work through hell to get to his ranking, a trusted advisor to Akito. He would not look in on the outside, whimpering all the way. Iie, the enigma that was Sohma Shigure was a top dog, conniving and mysterious.
Hatori sighed as the smoke left his mouth. He made one nod and turned to him. "Sumimasen."
They sat in silence for a couple of minutes until Shigure opened his mouth once more. "By the way, I do not know what Akito is planning. Of course she has mentioned Tohru before…"
:FLASHBACK:
Shigure walked into a dark, dusty room, looking at the frail figure sitting slumped on the other side. "Akito," he said, announcing his presence. The figure looked up, a lazy smile on her features. "Ma, konnichiwa, Inu-san." Shigure sat on his legs, across the room from Akito. Patience was a virtue that Sohma Shigure had plenty of. He waited until Akito was ready to get up, but she never did.
He was twiddling his fingers when the woman spoke again. "Hmm…Yuki has made himself comfortable, ne Shigure?" Shigure did not answer. "He has," Akito answered for herself. "All because of that Honda, Tohru girl. Kimochiwarui…she's just a mononoke." After another pause Akito continued again. "Yuki thinks he can stay away forever…I won't let him. I'll show him the truth…that he's a nasty little rodent that no one cares for. That he'll be safer in the dark, here with me…My precious little nezumi…But that Honda girl might get in the way." Akito smirked. "It doesn't matter. I guess I just might have to teach her…a lesson," she hissed quietly, chuckling to herself at the thought. Shigure's eyes widened at what he thought he heard Akito say. He was sure he had heard right, his acute dog hearing had never betrayed him.
Shigure smirked to himself. Good thing his memory was good. "We'll just have to see how it turns out I guess." he murmured. Hatori eyed him and then looked away.
"A…Ano?" a soft voice whispered. The two adults looked up to see Tohru's head sticking out from around the corner. She was blushing and her eyes were diverted.
"Sumimasen, but…would there be anything that you two would prefer to eat? I know you didn't really get to eat anything Shigure-san. Oh, and I didn't know if you had eaten already, Hatori-san. If you'd like, I can heat up something," she offered sweetly.
Shigure looked at Hatori. "Well, now that you offered, it would be nice if I could have an onigiri. With the left over rice of course! I wouldn't want my precious little flower to work too hard!" Shigure smiled. Tohru blushed some more and nodded happily. "Of course. It'll be ready soon!" she smiled. "Don't let it get cold!" she added before she walked back towards the kitchen.
The adults were silent for a moment. "She leaves an air of cheeriness behind, one can't help but smile," Shigure said. "Hai, Tohru-kun is truly a blessing. She's helped us all." He grinned. "Even my poor house! She's saved it from the depths of--"
"Ugh," Hatori murmured, taking the cigarette out of his mouth and extinguishing it. Shigure chuckled and stood. "Well, I'm taking Tohru to her word. Those onigiris shouldn't be wasted. Tohru's gentle hands took the time to form them, and--"
"You really are just an obnoxious pervert," Hatori said. When Shigure looked at him, he was smiling slightly. Shigure smiled back as he walked out of the room.
OOOOO
"Mmmmmm!" a content voice murmered.
"Oh my God…now I'm going to have to get more!"
"Sugoi…you're sooo good!" the Inu said again.
"Tohru, you should do this as a living!"
"Because it is excellent!"
"My little flower has truly blossomed…
into a GREAT chef!"
Shigure Sohma took another bite out of the onigiri. A smile lit up his casual face and he chuckled, patting his stomach.
((3xThreat: Heehee! You perverts! Shigure is proud of you))
"Tohru, I must say, you are wonderful. These are delicious! Will you take up my offer? Will you be my bride?" Tohru stopped, blushed, and then made a soft giggle. "Shigure-san, you flatter me," she played along.
Shigure put a hand to his heart. "But I am only speaking from my heart, my little flower." Tohru smiled. Yuki burst through the kitchen door, glaring icy daggers at Shigure, while standing protectively near Tohru. Shigure's head turned dramatically. "Ouch. Cold."
Tohru bust out laughing and Hatori shook his head, taking another bite of the yummy food. "Baka…"
OOOOO
"Kyo-chan?" the Boar called softly as she knocked on the Neko's door. She frowned. "Kyo, I'd like to come in."
Silence…
"I just want to talk…please…"
Silence…
"Kyo…" Kagura grumbled dangerously.
Silence…
An angry mark appeared at the side of Kagura's head as she tried to contain her temper. She clenched her fists and gave a heated sigh. "Ok, I'm coming in," she said determinedly. The Boar heard the lock click on the door and her eyes narrowed.
"EEUURGH!" she yelled, turning the knob around and around, pulling hard. She finally kicked it, letting it fly open. She saw Kyo sitting on his bed and stalked towards him.
"EH? BAKA! CRAZY ONNA, LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY DOOR!" he screamed at her.
"Kyo, you wouldn't let me in!" she grumbled, ignoring Kyo's previous statement.
The Neko sighed. "That's why the door was locked!" he said heatedly. The Boar knew something was on his mind. "Kyo…talk to me," she whispered, concerned. She placed her hand on his and looked up at him. Kyo's amber eyes narrowed at her. He withdrew his hand and looked away.
"Iie," he answered softly. Kagura's eyes widened and they suddenly were soft and gentle. "Is this about Tohru?" she whispered, voice calm. Kyo didn't look at her. He answered her with a small nod.
Kagura's heart clenched painfully at the thought of what the little talk could lead to. But no one would know her pain even if the outcome was that. She would keep it to herself and remain a burden to no one but her own broken heart. She wanted to see Kyo happy and if what made him happy wasn't her…well, she would just have to deal with that wouldn't she?
"Kyo-kun…do you know how you feel about her?" Kagura asked in a whisper, meaning Tohru. Kyo winced at the sort of monotone Kagura's voice had changed to. He knew this was hurting her, but he couldn't help her until he knew what he wanted himself.
"Iie…" he replied softly. He heard Kagura sigh behind him and felt the depression in his bed when she sat down next to him. A silence slowly cocooned the room in. Suddenly, it was shattered by a delighted laugh from outside. Kyo peered out the window and his heart froze at what he saw.
Kagura was about to speak when she saw Kyo suddenly tense and his face radiate the most shock and emotion she'd ever seen. "Kyo-kun…" Suddenly, she saw what had made him react so. Yuki and Tohru were walking into the woods, holding hands, but they had suddenly stopped and Yuki had leaned down to capture Tohru's lips in a kiss. Kagura immediately averted her eyes from the couple and onto Kyo's face.
Kyo finally turned away from the window and sat looking defeated on his bed. Tohru choose Yuki…Guess the nezumi beat the neko again… Kyo's hands grasped his bed sheets tightly as similar thoughts ran in his head. Kuso…why? Why Tohru, why…? You…you said that day…you said we'd stay together! You-
Suddenly, he was aware of Kagura prying his hands from the sheets and placing them onto his lap, her fingers gently lingering before moving away and into her own lap. "Kyo-kun, do you love Tohru-chan? As in love love, or do you care for her as fiercely as a brother would?"
Kyo's eyes widened. A brother! I haven't ever thought of my feelings for Tohru like that. But I still feel that it was… less of a brother thing and more of the…other love. But if I really loved her I would let her go right? Keep her where she's happy…or would I fight for her? ..No….Tohru would be devastated, knowing her and how she gives all of whatever she feels to people. But still…this hurts… This is how Kagura must feel a lot of the time… Kagura…I'm so sorry.
Unknown to Kyo, this last thought slipped out of his mouth and he looked up when he heard Kagura gasp. Her face showed her pain, but when she noticed Kyo looking, she quickly masked it again. "Ano…I better go clean up some of the dishes so Tohru-chan won't have to do so much, ne?" she said hurriedly, getting up from the bed.
Suddenly, Kyo reached out and grabbed Kagura's wrist before she could get out of reach. She looked back in surprise. "Kyo-kun…" she whispered.
"You took it the wrong way. I meant I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you…" he said in an uncharacteristically sad, regretful tone. "Don't leave…please."
Kagura's eyes filled with pent up tears as she hurled herself at Kyo with a small sob. Kyo wrapped his arms tightly around her as tears dropped from his own eyes. "I'm so sorry…"
Some time had passed with Kyo holding Kagura like that and gently rocking her from time to time. Without really knowing what he was doing, Kyo kissed a lone tear away from Kagura's cheek. She gasped and looked up at him with puffy, red eyes from crying. A small blush graced her face.
Kyo gave her a small smile. "Wait for me. It's going to take some time, but I'll get there eventually. So please…wait for me."
"Hai."
