Battle for a riceball

Chapter 3: I don't love you

The next morning was a little strange, there seemed to be screaming coming from the kitchen. Usually Tohru was accustomed to loud screaming and fighting by Kyo and Yuki, but this time she could guarantee there was a girl screaming too. Tohru rubbed her eyes and yawned. She put her hair in a small bun and put on her slippers.

"Kyo? Yuki? Is something wrong?" she asked sleepily.

"Now look what you did you stupid cat you woke up Miss Honda!" Yuki blamed Kyo.

"Oh no! Don't worry I was already awake..I just heard the screaming and I hoped everyone was okay." Tohru said worriedly.

"Kagura is here." Yuki stated flatly. Tohru's lips formed a large smile.

"Oh really! That's wonderful! I should make breakfast for her too!" Tohru said cheerfully.

Kyo and Kagura were already in the kitchen fighting.

"Let go of me!" Kyo said hastily, trying to get away from Kagura's grasp.

"Oh Kyo! I haven't seen you in such a long time!" Kagura squished him to death.

"Ah! Let go of me!" Kyo said rudely.

"Kyo my darling! Where were you? Did you miss me!? Why are you acting so mean?" Kagura stated, giving him a innocent look.

"I said let go of me dammit!" Kyo screamed in a cold tone. Kagura was taken backing utter shock by his harsh tone. Tohru stood in the doorway of the kitchen with a shocked look plastered on her face. Kyo always fought with Yuki and Kagura. He would always scream, but this time he seemed really serious.

"Why do always gotta come here just to ruin my day! It'd be better if you'd just stay the hell away from me!" Kyo said darkly as he ran from the room, slamming the door in the process. Kagura raced after Kyo with tears in her eyes.

"Kagura! Please I don't think that's a good ide-" Tohru couldn't finish her sentence before Kagura had disappeared. Yuki appeared by the kitchen, his face in shock too.

"Kyo has never been this mad. I'm sorry he woke you up Miss Honda,"

"Oh no! He didn't wake me up, don't worry! I'm more worried about what Kyo is going to do to Kagura. She chased after him," Tohru said worriedly.

"I hope that stupid cat doesn't hurt her," Yuki replied.

"He wouldn't do something like that would he?" Tohru gasped.

"I doubt it. But..if he did, he would probably regret it. His temper always gets in the way of everything." Yuki admitted.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No matter how much he insults me, I love him. That's all it ever was, me going ballistic and hurting him because I was angry that things didn't go my way. I can't let Tohru steal him away from me! I have to talk to him.

"Kyo! Please let me talk." Kagura asked, her voice seemed sad.

"Just go away," Kyo said, his voice was pleading for her to leave.

"Why do you always push me away Kyo!?" Kagura growled. She grasped on to his hand as a cue to make him stop walking. They were outside the house near the ladder that Kyo uses to get on the roof.

"What do want, say it quickly," Kyo muttered. Kagura clutched on to his shirt as if it were her life.

"Please, I just want to know. Do you really hate me? Why do always scream at me? What did I do to you?" Kagura choked all the questions out at once. Kyo's face seemed to have a lot of emotions, anger being the first one.

"I just want you to leave me alone!" he roared, tearing away from her grip. Kagura felt tears roll down her eyes.

"But Kyo don't you get it? I love you!" Kagura always spoke aloud that she absolutely loved Kyo, but she seemed really serious this time.

"Stop." Kyo muttered, trying to walk away.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tohru was near the doorstep of the house trying to look for Kyo and Kagura. She spotted the two talking from far away.

I hope they aren't arguing! I don't think I should interfere right now..I won't let them see me, I'll just stay silent and watch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagura couldn't think anymore, she plunged forward into Kyo's arms and forced her lips against Kyo's. Never in her whole life had she done something so reckless with Kyo, but she felt like she had to do it now. She felt that is was a way to save their relationship. She forced Kyo against the wall and gave him a passionate kiss. He couldn't pull away. She gripped on to his wrist and enjoyed ever moment of holding him, and giving him the kiss.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tohru gasped from far away, she couldn't understand what she was feeling, but she felt her eyes water.

What's wrong with me? I should be happy right? They finally love each other. I shouldn't care if Kyo love Kagura..it's okay. I'm happy for them. Well, I guess I should get breakfast ready.

Tohru blinked away her tears and smiled, as she fled back into the house. Just seeing Kagura and Kyo kiss made her…sad.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyo suddenly got the control to pull away and he coldly pushed Kagura in the ground. She still had her hand on his arm, and she wasn't planning on letting go.

"It's because of Tohru isn't it! You love her, and you've completely forgotten about me! Kyo, why Tohru?" Kagura didn't look up at him, but he was surprised at the sudden question. "Why do you want someone you can't hold? Can you hold her like I'm holding you right now? She can never hug you without making you turn into a cat! But I can!"

Kagura felt Kyo's hand slap her cheek in that sudden instant. She felt the whole world spin and her cheek was burning in pain. She couldn't help it, she cried. Not because of the stinging pain, but because of the fact that Kyo even considered hurting her pained her the most.

"Don't bring Tohru into this," he said harshly. Kagura's eyes widen, she felt her whole body shiver.

"Why do you care so much about her!? What did she give you that I couldn't give you!?" Kagura cried.

Tohru and Kyo weren't even in a relationship to begin with, but to Kagura, it was obvious that Kyo loved Tohru.

"It's not right, Kagura… find someone else you can love. Stop making me feel guilty. Because I don't like you that way." he muttered. Kagura felt those words pierce into her heart. She rose to her feet and sniffed.

"Don't worry Kyo. I won't bother you anymore. I'll just leave now, so you can live happily ever after living with Tohru!" Kagura cried, she raced away from Kyo with tears in her eyes, she headed away, towards the forest.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tohru made the usual for breakfast- rice balls. She formed a cat shaped rice ball in her hand and smiled. Then her smile vanished when the flashback of Kagura and Kyo kissing came back to her head.

Why do I feel like this? I should be happy, but instead..I'm sad.

Tohru felt a cold tear roll down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away.

"Miss Honda?" Yuki came into the kitchen.

"Aha!?" Tohru almost jumped in surprise. She coninuted to form her cat shaped rice ball as she listend to Yuki.

"Do you know where Kyo wen-" he was cut off by a loud slam on the door. Kyo entered the kitchen and opened the fridge to grab a carton of milk. Tohru couldn't even look at him without feeling empty and sad. She quickly turned away and continued forming her rice ball.

"Where's Kagura?" she asked without looking at him.

"I don't know, she was talking to me then she ran off." Kyo shrugged.

"So she just came for a quick visit then?" Tohru asked, her voice shaking a bit.

"I guess so. What's wrong with you? You seem upset." Kyo pondered, he turned to look at Tohru's eyes to tell if she was lying.

"No! Me upset? I'm perfectly fine!"

"Miss Honda, are you sure you're okay?" Yuki asked.

"Yup! I'm perfectly fine! Here Kyo, would you like a rice ball?" she asked cheerfully, holding a tray of cat shaped rice balls to him.

"Thanks," he mumbled as he shoved one in his mouth.

Is it that obvious that I'm upset? Tohru sighed.

Kyo made his way towards his room upstairs only to bump into Yuki.

"What do you want you damn rat?" Kyo muttered.

"What really happened with Kagura?" Yuki replied.

------------------------------------------------------------

So now Tohru thinks Kyo loves Kagura! But the truth is, Kyo loves Tohru. Poor Tohru, she's heartbroken and confused!
