Chapter 9- Somebody Told Me
It had been several days since Kyo and Haru's meeting at the bar. The cat was now on edge over Haru even though he tried to reason the whole thing away. Every time he looked at Haru got nervous to the point that he started to get jumpy. As if he was just waiting for Haru to do something because he knew too much. He hadn't discussed it with anyone. Now he was thinking that he should. Tohru had said talking about things that one was upset about always helps. He finally decided today would be a good day to do it. After school on their way home he would tell them. Even that damned rat had the right to know about it. Although Kyo would never say that out loud.
So here they were walking home; the three of them, plus a Momiji, anyway. Kyo guessed Momiji should know too. He lived closer to the cow than any of them.
"I need to talk to you guys," Kyo said stiffly, and stopped dead in his tracks. His companions stopped too. Kyo looked directly at them. "It's about Haru."
"What about him?" Yuki asked not understanding why the cat would want to talk about Haru so suddenly.
"Momiji, have you noticed anything off about him lately," Kyo asked, "I mean off even for him."
"Yeah," Momiji said slowly, "but Hatori told me not to talk about it."
"Well, the other night after I fought with Yuki and left," Kyo started unsure of what to say exactly, "the night I came back soaking wet because of the rain..."
"You looked kind of upset, and you wouldn't talk to me," Tohru said remembering it with a frown.
Kyo nodded, "I met up with Haru that night."
"Where? When?" Momiji said quickly and then suddenly shut up realizing this was no time to bother Kyo. This was very important.
"Well, it start to pour out of nowhere and I had to run for cover. The closest place I could find that was open was a bar," Kyo said recollecting his running around in the rain that night.
"A bar!" Yuki asked shocked.
"It's not like I drink or anything, I was cold and wet. However, Haru was in there… drinking," Kyo said quietly. There was a large gasp from the other members of the group.
"Haru was drinking! At a bar!" Yuki asked completely stunned.
"Yeah, I talked to him. He said he doesn't even like you anymore. That it's all just an act. He even has a boyfriend. I didn't meet him but what the picture of him I got from Haru and some other guy talking was that he isn't the best kind of guy," Kyo said as he went on explaining that night's events, "And that's not all. After that Haru decided that I should leave... for me. He practically- no he did threaten me, telling me to never come back. I've never heard Haru talk like that. Not even in Black mode. Frankly, it really scared me. That tone of voice. It just..."
Kyo shook his head nervously.
"I knew Haru had been sneaking out at nights. He's been doing it for over a year," Momiji informed them with a small frown. "Hatori told me not to worry. Hatori told me not to do a lot of things. Maybe, I shouldn't have listened. This is all my fault."
"Momiji, it's not your fault," Yuki said quickly trying to alleviate the small bunny's worry.
"You don't know what I know," Momiji said almost panic stricken, "you don't know what you're talking about. You guys never noticed. I did. Hatori told me to do nothing even though I desperately wanted to. He told me to leave you guys out of it. I still listened. It's my fault."
"Calm down," Yuki said grabbing the rabbit's arm and trying to do just that.
"No!" Momiji said as he began crying.
"Hey, we don't even know what's going on with Haru right now," Yuki told him, "it could be nothing. You could be over reacting."
"No," Momiji cried wiping his eyes, "you didn't see him before."
"Of course we did," Yuki said calmly, "we see him everyday at school."
"He hates me," Momiji said, "I know he does."
"That's not true," Tohru told the bunny.
"If you knew the truth you would know that he hates me," the blonde cried, "he hates us all."
Yuki blinked confused with Momiji's words. "He couldn't hate us all."
"Yes, he does," Momiji lamented, "we did nothing. I did nothing."
"What are you talking about?" Kyo asked now being quite interested in the whole conversation.
"It started about a year ago," Momiji said, wiping the tears from his eyes. "Haru broke down. He was in a deep depression. So deep that he tied to kill himself more than a couple of times. He hurt himself too. Hatori told me not to talk to him, to let Haru work it out himself. Haru never knew I knew anything. He stopped walking with me. All the while he was acting as if everything was all right. It was far from it. About four months ago, I noticed a new change in Haru. I don't if it's for the best."
"Haru was suicidal?" Yuki asked things just kept getting more startling, "I didn't know."
"Like I said none of you noticed," Momiji said sadly, "it was probably because you were only around him at school. You never went to his house and into his room. I did. I couldn't help but notice."
"If things were so bad and Hatori noticed why didn't he do anything?" Kyo asked almost demandingly, Hatori was a doctor.
"I don't know," Momiji said shaking his head finally beginning to calm down a bit.
"I think I have a hunch," Yuki said, almost coldly. The others turned to him. "Akito. He likes suffering, he must have order Hatori to tell you that... anyone who tried or wanted to help."
The others quickly agreed they all knew the evil of the head of the Sohma's.
"So now what has Haru gotten into?" Yuki asked quietly.
"You know there is someone else who may know something about it," Kyo told them darkly, "Shigure. You know how close he is with Hatori and Akito and I remember him asking Haru if he was feeling better the last time he came over."
"You're right," Yuki nodded and then curtly added, "for once."
Kyo was in no mood for that today. He'd let it slide for now and save it for another day.
"Let's just get home and ask him," Kyo said annoyed.
