Chapter 18-Swallow the Knife
"So you still haven't found out anything about Knox?" Kyo demanded as Hatori came into the house.
"Is Tohru gone?" Hatori asked ignoring Kyo's question for the moment. Shigure nodded. "Good. And to answer your question. Kyo, no, I really haven't."
"Than why are you here?" Yuki asked sourly crossing his arms.
"You know I had a little accidental meeting with Knox… well, maybe it wasn't accidental on his part. I hadn't meant to meet up with him. But who knows the more I think on it. Maybe he did it on purpose," Hatori told them.
"Okay, and what happened?" Shigure asked calmly.
"I went out for a walk and Knox came out of some alley," he went on to tell them the whole story including what Knox had said about wild animals.
"Why would he say something like that?" Kyo hissed angrily.
"Well, Akito did have bite marks," Yuki snorted at Kyo.
"I know that!" Kyo hissed.
"Can you two fight, later!" Shigure asked them clearly annoyed.
"So, has anyone thought of any new theories at all?" Hatori sighed as he drew a blank.
"Umm… hey," Tohru said coming into the kitchen.
"Tohru, I thought you said you had work?" Yuki asked her worried about how much she'd heard.
"I forgot they switched my days off," she said shyly, "so this is what you haven't been telling me? I thought it had something to do with Haru… not Knox."
They frowned but nodded, there was no use in trying to deceive her.
"Knox attacked Akito? And he left bite marks?" she asked concerned.
"Like that of a wolf," Yuki sighed.
"And we don't know how," Hatori said explaining, "he's not a werewolf, so we don't know what happened exactly."
"Maybe he's cursed," she said slowly after thinking it over for a moment.
"Well, actually I think that's the best theory so far," Hatori sighed after a small pause.
"Well now why didn't we think of that!" Shigure laughed in amusement, "Here we are the ones that are cursed and we being so high and mighty couldn't ever think that there might someone else cursed out there."
"Shut up, Shigure," Kyo hissed, although inwardly he knew the dog was kind of right.
"But if Knox is cursed than is it some family curse?" Hatori contemplated.
"Or is it something that he alone bears?" Shigure added.
"And what kind of curse is it? What exactly does it do?" Yuki sighed.
"All good questions but we still don't know if it's a curse," Hatori sighed, "or maybe a spell of some sort."
"You think maybe he did that to himself?" Shigure asked the dragon.
"I don't know," Hatori sighed, "I'm going to see if I can find some information on Knox."
"You do that," Kyo sighed annoyed, he had another idea.
"Hey, Haru!" the cat called the white and black haired teen, the next day after school.
Said teen stared at him for a second before continuing on his way home. Kyo hurried towards Haru.
"Don't want to talk," Haru sighed and ignored Kyo, not bothering to give the cat a complete sentence.
"Look, I'm worried about you!" Kyo exclaimed annoyed, "How much do you really know about that Knox guy?"
"Oh, so this is about my boyfriend then?" Haru asked as he continued walking.
"What do you see in him?" Kyo asked the cow.
"More than I see in you," Haru growled annoyed and sped up hoping the cat wouldn't follow. Of course, Kyo only sped up too.
"I mean it!" Kyo asked as he matched Haru's pace.
"How can you ask me that? I love him," Haru snarled angrily.
"Well, how much do you know about him?" Kyo asked continuing to question the cow.
"I know everything about him," Haru shot angrily, "and he knows everything about me!"
"You told him about the curse?" Kyo asked him as Haru sped up even more.
"Why not?" Haru asked as he suddenly stopped making the cat almost run into him.
"So, you just told him!" Kyo asked shocked, "How'd he handle it?"
"That's none of your business!" Haru snorted and started to walk again.
"C'mon, tell me something!" Kyo hissed following the white and black haired teen. Haru spent the whole rest of the way ignoring all of Kyo's questions. Kyo finally gave up outside the gates to the main house.
