Chapter 20: The cat beat the rat or did he?
Yuki was still staring at them both, unable to speak and trying this new information through his head, but it wouldn't work. Shigure, still standing in the door way, his arms crossed and his smile would almost reach his eyes as he waited for an answer from Kyo. Tohru gripped onto Kyo's shoulder a bit tighter as she worried. She then suddenly got an idea that might just work. But then again...when are Tohru's ideas good?
She jumped off the bed and did a twirl as if showing off the clothes she was wearing. "Look! I'm still wearing my clothes! Nothing happened!" She said smiling nervously. Everyone in the room grew a sweat mark on their forehead and many many thoughts went through their heads.
"Tohru actually knows what it means if she had NO clothes on!?" Thought Kyo, with his hand banging his forehead.
She then grew a sweat mark herself and couldn't think of anything else.
"So umm...Kyo. Did you manage to lose your virginity?" Asked Shigure, rubbing his hand behind his back. Kyo's jaw dropped and both him and Tohru blushed. Except Kyo was a little too angry.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" He shouted. He pushed the blanket a side and charged straight at Shigure with his hand in the form of a fist. He punched him and he hit the wall behind him and fell to the ground, unale to move. Shigure started his childish crying. "Why...must you torment me so?" She said, trying to speak.
"Oh my gosh! Are you alright Shigure?!" Tohru ran up to Shigure, totally ignoring and running past Yuki. She helped Shigure up as he rubbed his head.
"No need to worry. I'm used to this torture!" Shigure said sadly. Tohru nodded in an awkward way, as taking it like it was normal.
"Alright then...umm I'll make you breakfast!" Tohru helped Shigure down stairs as they both went into the kitchen. Yuki and Kyo were now by themselves.
"Do you mind getting out? I need to change into my school uniform." Said a frustrated Kyo. Yuki looked at him with the most anger in his eyes Kyo had ever seen. His fists were clenched tightly by his sides and his blood was pumping through his veins rapidly as a voice in his head was saying "Kill him. Kill him. Kill him."
"What the hell was Miss Honda doing here!? Did you pursued her to have a 'sleep over' with you? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" He said taking a step forward. Kyo remained calm because he knew himself nothing really happened.
"Not that it's any of your business, she wanted to talk to me last night so she came over and fell asleep. I didn't want to wake her up so I decided to let her sleep here for the nigh-" Kyo was cut off by Yuki who full on high-kicked Kyo's chin and he fell on his back. He sat up and wiped a bit of blood with his thumb that dripped down the left side of his mouth.
"I told you to NEVER even speak to Tohru again! You don't deserve someone like her. She doesn't love you! She thinks she does, but she just pities you, just like your mother." Said Yuki.
Kyo's eyes widened and shimmered sadly as he remembered those painful memories with his mother. He shook his head to try and stop thinking about them. "Tohru isn't like my mother...That's for sure seeing as she broke my curse. Stupid Yuki just doesn't wanna think of it that way."
"No matter what you say, I'm not gonna stop seeing Tohru you know." He said as he stood up, heading for his closet as he took out his school uniform. Yuki grew angrier at Kyo's 'arrogance.'
"Yes you will! Do you honestly think Akito will approve of the monster being loved?" Yuki smiled since he knew that was the perfect thing to say at a time like this. He knew Kyo couldn't stand Akito. Yuki expected Kyo's reaction to be cold and miserable, but instead he got a smile.
Kyo smirked and Yuki got confused. "I am no longer Akito's concern. I'm not part of the cursed family anymore. Or did you forget that Tohru broke my curse because she loves me." Said Kyo calmly emphasizing the word "loves" to get it through Yuki.
"I DON'T CARE! KEEP AWAY FROM HER!" Yuki shouted, his bangs covering his face, desperatley thinking of anything else that might make Tohru his. Kyo walked in the direction of Yuki and walked a few inches behind him and stood there.
"Why would I keep away from her?" He said silently. Yuki breathed heavily in defeat, knowing what Kyo would say next. "That's not what a boyfriend does to his girlfriend." Said Kyo victorious as he walked out of his room and into the bathroom to get changed.
Yuki fell on his knees and felt the biggest pain ever in his chest. "Is it really over?" He though.
"Oh I see, so that's what happened." Said Shigure, taking a sip from the coffee Tohru had made for him.
"I had to come over...Everything's been so stressful since I broke his curse." Said Tohru, pouring coffee into her own cup. Shigure finished his coffee and put his cup down. He stretched his arms and yawned.
"Well whatever happens...Answer me this." Shigure put his arms down and looked seriously at Tohru. Tohru blinked, waiting for him to continue.
"Do you love Kyo?" He asked. Tohru smiled.
"Of course I do. I do now and I will always love him too. Shigure...I am so in love with him." She said, her smiling burning brightly. Shigure eyes went watery for he longed to hear those words for so long.
"Thank you Tohru." They both smiled.
"Hope you'll be happy." Said a voice coming in through the kitchen. Yuki walked in and sat down at the table. An awkward silence flowed throughout the room.
"Yuki as much as I love Kyo...I really do need your support. I don't think I could ever go on if I didn't have you here, supporting me with anything I do. So please..." Said Tohru with her eyes filled with water. Yuki stayed silent and so did the whole kitchen but then the silence was interruped with Kyo coming in.
"What's with the silence...Geez! Are you still sulking, Yuki!?" Kyo went over to the table and sat next to Tohru, across from Yuki. He put his bag on the floor and poured himself some coffee. When Tohru saw Kyo put his bag down, she got reminded of something just a tad important...
"WE GOT SCHOOL!?" Tohru stood up and ran around everywhere, flapping her arms like a chicken. "Not again with her panic-mode." Thought Kyo.
"I don't have my uniform! There's no time to go to my house to get my clothes!" She looked at the time and panicked even more. "IT'S 7:55AM!? We gotta get to school in 5 minutes! But I have no uniform! What'll I do!?" Kyo was getting impatient with her...again.
"Would you calm down already!" Said Kyo, trying to get his point across. Tohru smiled nervously as she noticed how silly she was acting. Shigure then remembered something.
"No need to worry Tohru! There's a girl's uniform in the basement, it's new so you can wear that." He said. Yuki choked on his coffee. "WHAT!?" He said.
"What the hell are you doing with a girl's uniform!?" Asked Kyo curiously. Shigure grinned and laughed a bit.
"It's actually wuite funny...Don't you think so Yuki?" Yuki stayed silent and his face turned red of embarrassment.
"Shut up, Shigure..." He said. Kyo and Tohru blinked, not knowing what was going on.
"Well, you see...When Yuki entered High School, they mistook him for a girl and instead of sending boy uniform...They sent him a girl's one." He said, as if it was something normal.
Kyo burst out laughing and pointed straight at Yuki. "HA! Yuki the little princess...Where's your pony, princess?" Yuki got angry and tried to ignore Kyo, but he totally lost it when he noticed Tohru giggling silently.
"I'm sorry Yuki...But I can't hold it in..." Tohru started laughing a bit louder, which made Yuki even more embarrassed. "I guess her evil side will always be lurking in her." Thought Kyo and Yuki.
After laughing, she decided to go up to the basement and get changed. When she came back down stairs, her hair brushed and wearing her school uniform, Yuki and Kyo were waiting for her at the door.
"Hurry up Tohru!" Said Kyo. Tohru then walked outside with them, as Shigure waved at them through the door.
They were already infront of the school. Tohru didn't have her books with her, but she happened to have the same classes as Kyo that day, so she could just borrow his stuff.
They stood there, watching the school building. Tohru was afraid to enter, but she knew she had to. She looked at Kyo and they both nodded. They took each other's hands and walked into the building, with Yuki beside them. Yuki looked at their hands and got really jealous. "This can't be over...not yet. I'm still gonna get her. I won't make do with this." He clenched his fists but tried not to seem jealous.
Once they entered the school building, they noticed no one was around. "Oh no... we must be really late!" Said Tohru nervously.
"You guys better go... I'm in a different class from you two." Yuki turned around and walked to his own classroom, which left Tohru and Kyo by themselves.
"Ok. So far, the plans working. We just gotta stay really have to stay together today to get the message threw to everyone...and then at the assembly...Yuki's going down." Said Kyo, getting excited. Tohru still didn't know what he was gonna do but she was curious to find out.
"You're not gonna hurt Yuki...are you?" She asked worriedly. Kyo looked at her and smirk.
"Well, I'm not gonna hurt him physically if that's what you mean. Come on, let's go to class." Kyo gripped onto Tohru's hand and they walked to class.
Soon they were face to face with the door. "We're going in holding hands right?" Asked Tohru. Kyo nodded. With his other hand, he took hold of the door knob and slid it open. They walked in and slid the door behind them. Everyone gasped.
"Sohma, Honda! You're VERY late." Said the teacher without even looking at them.
Tohru laughed nervously. "Oh um, we're sorry!"
They then let go of each other's hands to go sit at their desks. The whole class was still silent.
"I don't think I've ever heard this class be so silent! Good job everyone!" Said the teacher, really proud of her class. Everyone was happy, but they still remained silent at the sight they had just seen of Kyo and Tohru.
Kyo put his hand up to ask a question. "What is it Sohma?"
"Yeah umm, I wanna make an announcement thingy..." Sensei nodded and let him continue.
"After lunch there's gonna be an assembly and we want the whole school to go...So at lunch you guys can gossip as much as you like to your friends about it." He said. But Tohru decided to make it seem more interesting.
"In case anyone's interested to know, it's hosted by me and Kyo..." She said nervously. At this, everyone started whispering instantly, all curious to know what it was.
"Psst! Tohru! What is going on..." Called Uo from behind Tohru. Tohru turned and smiled at her friend.
"We'll explain at lunch!" She whispered back. Uo looked at Hana, and Hana back at Uo.
"Ding-Ding Ding-Ding" The bell went indicating lunch time. Tohru and Kyo looked at each other and smiled.
"Time to go setting up everything." Smirked Kyo, as Tohru, Uo, Hana and himself all walked out of the classroom.
