Chapter 19- In the Shadows
"Kyo, why'd you question Haru?" Hatori sighed, "Now, he knows we're trying to find out about Knox!"
"He probably already knew that," Yuki sighed, for once defending the cat, "I don't think they keep things from each other. Knox definitely knows that we're trying to figure him out. So, chances are Haru already knew."
"Wow, you defending Kyo?" Shigure asked in mock surprise.
"Shut up, Shigure!" Kyo hissed angrily.
"So, what did you find out about Knox?" Shigure asked Hatori curious, ignoring Kyo.
"Well, he was born in Manchester…" Hatori started out, only to be cut off by Kyo.
"Where is that!" Kyo growled annoyed.
"The United Kingdom, England! You haven't noticed that accent of Knox's? Or his name for that matter?" Yuki shot annoyed at the cat's interruption, "He is English you know."
"He's English-Japanese, his father is from England and his mother was Japanese," Hatori told them, "both of them were quite rich; though his father's family was losing money and his mother's making lots of it. Neither of their families seemed to hold a curse, but neither does ours if you look around. Anyway, they married in early '87 and Knox was born in later that year. That makes Knox 18 now…"
"I could've sworn he was older than that," Shigure said interrupting.
"Stop interrupting," Hatori said annoyed.
"Hey, that was the first time! Kyo interrupted last time!" Shigure whined.
"No more interruptions from anyone!" Yuki said annoyed.
"That includes you, rat boy," Kyo hissed angrily.
"No fighting!" Tohru told them.
Kyo and Yuki looked angrily at each other but said nothing.
"Okay, well he went to elementary school and then middle school, the teachers all said he was brilliant but was very rebellious; he even skipped the second grade. He was always put in school counseling. Nothing much there either. In his Junior year of high school he dropped out and moved here. That's about it," Hatori notified them.
"Great so that avenue was a big fat zero," Kyo growled, disappointed.
"That still doesn't mean that he isn't cursed or that he didn't put some spell on himself," Yuki told them thinking about it.
"Well, I guess we were mistaken in hoping that looking into his past would give us some big red flag," Kyo said rolling his eyes annoyed.
"What about his parents weren't they worried when he moved away?" Tohru asked Hatori.
"Well, it really didn't say anything about that," Hatori said and looked over his notes, he read off a sentence, "his mother died when he was a baby and his father remarried a short time after that…"
"His mother died when he was a baby? How?" Tohru asked curiously.
"Well, it said she was murdered," Hatori said thinking back on reading that part of the report, "he was about ten months old."
"So he doesn't remember her at all?" Tohru asked sorrowfully, "that's so sad."
"Indeed," Shigure agreed with the saddened girl.
"I wonder how it was growing up for him. Did he have siblings?" she asked.
"Four," Hatori said after a moment of searching, "two brothers and two sisters. Only one of them was younger than him."
"Huh?" Yuki asked, "didn't you say something about Knox's parents being married and then having Knox that same year?"
Hatori nodded, "they're all only related to him by his father."
"So then Knox's father had two children with this other woman and then married Knox's mother. She had Knox. She died. And he married this other woman?" Shigure asked curiously.
"It appears that way," Hatori told him.
"You said Knox's mother was murdered?" Yuki asked. "Why didn't they question the husband sounds like he had motive."
"The money," Shigure said aloud.
"I think we're getting a little off track here," Hatori told them. "We're trying to figure out about Knox remember?"
"Hatori's right," Yuki said. "This doesn't have anything to do with Knox. He was only ten months old when that happened."
Kyo stood up.
"I'm going to talk to Haru again," Kyo told them as he left the room, leaving no room for them to argue with him.

The following day after school the cat was once again trying to interrogate the cow.
"C'mon, tell me!" Kyo yelled at Haru angrily. "You know!"
Haru didn't respond.
"What's with Knox?" Kyo repeated the question for the third time.
This incited something inside Haru because he stopped walking and stared at Kyo, "If I didn't tell you anything the first million times than why keeping asking for another! Are you trying to piss me off!"
"No," Kyo muttered, "I want to know."
"Well I'm not telling you so forget it!" Haru growled and continued on his path.
"C'mon, Haru?" Kyo pleaded, "tell me why you like him then?"
Once again Haru stopped; giving the cat a dangerous glare and changed directions heading somewhere else.
"Haru, where are you going?" Kyo asked still frightened by the glare.
"My boyfriend's, I've had enough of you," Haru informed him angrily.
Kyo continued to follow the white and black haired teen, for some insane- death wish reason that even he couldn't fathom. He tried to turn and leave the cow alone but he found that he couldn't.
"You're still following me!" Haru hissed out as a little warning.
Kyo remained silent. Haru growled.
