Chapter 24- Give 'em Hell, Kid

"Cursed?" Kyo questioned aloud. Haru nodded.

"I found out a while ago, when he found out about my curse," Haru said slowly, staring at his lover, "We were… anyway… I turned into an ox."

"And then he told you?" Kyo whispered.

"Something like that," Haru sighed closing his eyes; he thought back to the time that Knox had told him, Haru went on, "his mother… she's the one that did it. He was just a baby."

Kyo was reminded they had discussed a while ago; about how his mother was murdered.

"In the last moments of her life she realized that Knox's father was going to kill her, and she cursed Knox. He's cursed to have a violent demon wolf spirit inside of him and to remember his mother's death. How his father killed her. He did it right in front of Knox's cradle. The memory often plays in his head. He has nightmares about it," Haru told Kyo slowly, he drew up his legs and rested his arms on his knees, "That curse was the only thing that kept him alive as an infant. His father tried to kill him many times but he couldn't."

"The cursed made him remember his mother's death?" Kyo said still not understanding. Haru nodded, Kyo asked, "Why would she curse her child? He did nothing to her."

"Because she was angry and wanted him to not die at the hands of his father. Or rather live to be old enough to kill his father," Haru told him harshly.

"But Knox lives here in Japan. Doesn't his dad live in Britain?" Kyo asked curiously.

Haru nodded again, "Knox knows it. For a long time he refuses to listen to his mother. Then a couple years ago he decided he couldn't take it. He tried to kill his father. He failed; it was his only failure and still is. His father worried about a repeat attempt so he sent Knox here."

"I still don't understand," Kyo sighed, "he was a baby with this curse?"

"The curse itself stayed dormant for years. It awoke rather violently when he turned 13. He killed a classmate. No one could prove it was him. There weren't any witnesses and there weren't any fingerprints or anything. Rather, it looked like he'd been attacked by a wolf," Haru explained.

"And this curse it gives him teeth and claws like a wolf, when he's pissed?" Kyo asked.

"More than that it manifests itself in Knox's very attitude, like the cunning, cold, and manipulate wolf. Loyal to its pack and its pack loyal to it. And yes, in states of very, very high anger it manifests itself physically enabling Knox to harm another in a way no other human can. Turning his teeth canine, and giving him ethereal claws," Haru explained.

Kyo was taken back by the whole thing. It was bigger than he thought.

"So, he can't die until his destiny is fulfilled?" Kyo asked hopefully.

Haru shook his head sadly, "No, its not his destiny its his mother's wish and she can't protect him here or with outside influences. He may die."

"If he meets her in the afterlife, she might be angry," Kyo said thinking about it aloud. Haru made a small nod. Kyo continued, "I really hope he doesn't die. I'm not just saying that for your sake."

Haru nodded again but said nothing. For a long while silence was all there was.

"I really do care about you," Kyo told the cow, "a lot. You are probably the closest thing I've ever had to a best friend… a real friend. Even if we did fight a lot. I wish you told me how you were feeling back then. I really wish that I'd been a good friend and realized you were so depressed."

"You wish, you wish, you wish," Haru sighed, but there was no anger in his voice. He turned to face the cat, "A lot of us wish things. In the end wishing does no good. Going out and making it happen is the best way to get something done."

Kyo nodded in agreement, "I just…"

"Wish?" Haru asked finishing his sentence. Haru changed the topic, "You gonna go and tell everyone what I told you?"

Kyo was silent for a long time, "Do you not want me to? I won't if you don't want anyone to know."

"If Knox dies," Haru sighed sadly, staring back at Knox, "then you can tell them."

Kyo watched Knox as he shook his head.

"You want Knox to die, now?" Haru asked quietly.

"Of course not. I'd never wish anyone to die." Kyo said shaking his head, he looked at Haru earnestly, "not even Yuki. Don't tell him that."

Haru flashed the cat a small smile and then went back to watching Knox.

Kyo got up to leave, but Haru grabbed his hand stopping him, "Thank you."

Kyo stared at the ox in surprise, "For what?"

"Everything," Haru sighed and let go of Kyo's arm.

Kyo stood there for a few seconds watching Haru watch Knox's unconscious form. Finally, he took a few steps.

"See you later," Kyo called back to Haru as he shut the door to the hospital room.

"Maybe," Haru muttered absently.
