Kyo and Tohru walked home, hand in hand, until they reached the forest that bordered the main house. After a few steps into the forest, Yuki came running up and of course Kyo had something to say.
"What do you want you damn rat?" He growled. "I came to find Honda-san." Replied Yuki, "I've been looking everywhere." "I'm sorry Yuki-kun, but I had a bad feeling that Kyo-kun was in trouble." Tohru said, looking upset. "It's ok Honda-san; I'm only blaming the baka-neko." Smiled Yuki. "B-but, I was the one who ran off." Tohru insisted.
"So what really happened?" Yuki asked, facing Kyo. Then he noticed that Tohru's face was bruised and slightly red and her arms had a few scratches too. Yuki turned to Kyo and saw his face was red too and he also had a few scratches. "What the hell happened?" Gasped Yuki, "Was it…" Kyo simply nodded as Yuki flew a punch at his face. "What was that for!" Yelled Kyo. "You didn't help her damn cat!" Snapped Yuki. "I couldn't, I was in my cat form!" Kyo growled back.
"Kyo-kun! Yuki-kun! Please, stop!" Pleaded Tohru. The two boys stopped in surprise. 'Tohru/Honda-san just yelled!' They thought. "Yuki-kun, I'm happy that you care about me, but Kyo did try to protect me." Said Tohru. "I fell unconscious when I got there. Kyo-kun told me that Akito tried to kill me but Kyo-kun saved me. I stopped breathing and-" "You damn cat!" Snarled Yuki. "Yuki-kun, he saved me." Insisted Tohru, "Kyo-kun saved me, he got me breathing again."
Yuki for a second felt grateful but he soon had anger bubble up. That meant that Kyo used mouth-to-mouth on Tohru. "Baka-neko." Growled Yuki, clenching his fists before he socked Kyo in the stomach. "Yuki-kun!" Gasped Tohru. "Stay out of it." Growled Kyo, "She was helping me. Akito took me to see my mom again. Tohru was just worried!" "You could have gotten her killed!" Yuki yelled back, grabbing his shirt collar. "Did you ever think that she loves me?" Smirked Kyo. Yuki's eyes shot wide. "You don't love him, do you Honda-san?" Yuki asked, turning to face Tohru. "I… I do love Kyo-kun." Replied Tohru, sadly.
Yuki let go of Kyo's shirt and stood staring at Tohru in shock. "You…" Yuki was speechless. "I'm sorry Yuki-kun." Tohru said, she was about to burst into tears. That's when Yuki smiled, "It's ok, I can't choose who you love. I hope you'll be happy with Kyo." Then he shot Kyo an icy glance. "Don't get her hurt or I'll murder you." "Shut up you damn rat." Growled Kyo, "And don't get so mushy about it either!" Tohru just smiled. 'Maybe Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun will start to get along better!' Thought Tohru happily.
"Come on! We're going home." Growled Kyo taking Tohru's hand and almost dragging her home. "Kyo-kun…" Mumbled Tohru. "What?" Asked Kyo, though he sounded annoyed. "Thank you." Smiled Tohru with her big, goofy grin. Kyo smiled back but only for a few seconds because he noticed that Yuki was still watching. "What are you waiting for? I'm staving! Let's get home." Growled Kyo. Yuki sighed and followed them and Tohru smiled the whole way.
When they got home, Tohru started dinner while Shigure pervertedly asked Yuki and Kyo what happened. But Kyo soon got him to stop (With a few bruises…) and he stormed off to the roof. Yuki on the other hand when outside and sat to stare at the stars. Kyo was staring at them too, he of course was thinking of two people. Tohru and his mom.
"I'll leave you here to die, to rot, like the monsters that you are." The words that Akito said earlier stung deep into the cat's heart, "She came to see you… to help you? And to pile onto that, she said that she loves you. You're a monster and nothing more. You both deserve to die like your wretched mother." Kyo tried to push Akito's harsh words aside but they kept flooding his mind. "You killed her, you're the one who brought this upon yourself." Kyo's arms flew over his head and held onto himself tightly. "It is true isn't it!" Akito's laugh made his heart beat fast, it was like he was being chased endlessly, "No one, not even your own mother, could love a monster." Kyo felt like he was dieing.
"Kyo-kun." Said Tohru, popping out of nowhere, "It's time for dinner, I called twice already. Are you ok?" "Other then you giving me a heart-attack?" Panted Kyo, trying to catch his breath. She always scared him. "I'm sorry Kyo-kun!" Spazed Tohru. "Shut up and get over here." Smiled Kyo. "O-o-ok Kyo-kun." Replied Tohru, jumping up next to him. 'What is it Kyo-" Kyo put his arm around her waist and kissed her before he transformed.
"Kyo-kun!" Shouted Tohru and he landed on her lap. "Tohru, please, you can just call me 'Kyo.'" Sighed the little orange fur ball. "B-but" Protested Tohru. "Please." Sighed Kyo. "O-o-ok… if you want me to." Said Tohru before Kyo transformed back. He picked up his clothes and got dressed. "Tohru…" Said Kyo. "Y-yes?" Asked Tohru, half spazing half embarrassed. "I love you so much, more then anyone." Smiled Kyo. "I love you to Kyo-ku… I mean, Kyo." Tohru smiled back, catching her mistake.
"Honda-san, are you and the baka-neko coming down?" Asked Yuki. "Yes, we'll be down soon!" Replied Tohru. "Speaking of calling me by 'Kyo,' why doesn't rat boy call you 'Tohru'? Or 'Tohru-kun' at least?" Asked Kyo. "I don't mind, but we should be getting to dinner now." Said Tohru. "Yea, ok." Replied Kyo. The two climbed down the ladder and went in for dinner.
Good chapter? Yes? No? I gotta know. Also, I don't have the next chapter finshed yet so I'll post it when I get it finshed. That'll be about a week, maybe less (I have a life too so no complaining!) See ya next time!
