Chapter 15: …When We Deceive

North America, one year later:

"Xavier's dead!"

Catalyna watched as her mom bustled in to the front door with her face full of shock. She got off the couch of the random apartment they lived in while they were staying in…wait, what city again? They had moved so much it was too difficult to keep track anymore.

"He's dead?" Catalyna asked for reassurance as her mother nodded and closed the front door to avoid listeners.

"Yes, this is great!" Her mother plopped down on the couch next to her with an expression that contradicted her tone. "Listen to this.."

She told me about Angelo seeking revenge on some mother and daughter who had supposedly killed Xavier. She informed me that Angelo would be heading out to Japan with Vanessa, where the two lived. She quickly collected information on people; I honestly don't know how she does it. She told me the girl's name was Tohru Honda, and that the body was never discovered by police because some family members were sent to look for him. And after we spent another year preparing to leave, we learned that the girl's mother had been killed in an accident.

Once we arrived in Japan, we quickly learned everything we could about Tohru Honda living with the Sohma family and their ways of being. We learned they were cursed and different from everyone else, and that the reason she had come to live with them was because she knew of the curse. We were not afraid of this curse though; we had seen worse things than people turning in to animals. Mom spent her time examining them and I spent my time trying to enroll in to the high school they were attending, which was not easy.

"You need to tail the boy, Yuki Sohma."

Catalyna looked over the written information on the boy Yuki as she and her mother sat at the table in their new apartment in Japan. She was curious about him and so asked her mother a question.

"So, this boy, is he the one whose mother was killed… by Vanessa?"

Florentina nodded. "Yes, I don't have a picture at the moment but trust me, he'll be difficult to get to." She also looked at the profile. "If you can get this guy to tell you the truth about his mother's death, and talk about Miss Tohru Honda," She smiled and sighed . "There will be no way Angelo can get out of this one."

Catalyna scanned the profile, trying to get in to the mind set of manipulating this boy. "I start school next week." She said.

"Good." Her mother said as she got off the floor and made to leave the room. "The sooner we get this done, the better."

So I set off and to befriend the one called 'Yuki', doing my job as I was told, just like a robot without feelings or regrets. The web of deception that I was weaving was thicker than ever, and now this was supposed to be just another task. My reason being my Dad; to not have him had died in vain. But, when I would sit and really think on it, I know he would not be proud of me. So in a sad way…

…he did die in vain.

"I've never told anyone that before.."

The silence as all eyes were fixed on the poor crying Catalyna was suffocating in the unfairness of it all. There she sat, staring at the floor as the millions of tears ran down her face, still more concerned about keeping the innocent people safe.

Catalyna wiped her eyes and sniffed, then glanced at Tohru. "Even though this is now the second time you've heard this, Honda-san," Catalyna tried to look at her, but the shame and guilt kept her eyes locked on the floor. "I'm sorry for being dishonest, selfish, manipulative….fake."

Tohru reached out and placed her hand on the girl's arm. She could not think of any words to say since she, herself, felt a sense of relief from letting her story be known to the people she cared about. She turned to the group of people before her with pleading eyes and small tears running down her face.

"I'm sorry for all of the confusion." She looked from each pair of eyes to the next, hoping they would stop just staring and say something. "This is the truth, for both of us. It seems our paths crossed long before we met."

At those words Catalyna pulled her eyes away from the floor to look at the blank expression of Tohru. "Our paths crossed?" She asked with the disbelief screaming in her tone, despite how quiet she had spoke. "You really can call that crossing? My mother and I tracked you down…"

"Lyna-kun," Tohru squeezed her arm comfortingly. "You've come forward, that's all that counts now."

Catalyna shook her head. "No, that's not-"

"She's right."

Catalyna looked up at the voice of Hanajima, seeing the girl looking at her with the same blank expression she always wore.

"Catalyna, you heard Tohru's story about Xavier," Hanajima continued as everyone's attention shifted to her. "He was the worst of the worst, cruel and sickening as he tried to touch the young Tohru-kun."

Kyo tensed up and felt the urge to hit something. No one, no one would touch her while he was around. He restrained from the violence that was screaming to let loose and sat with his self-discipline. If he wasn't already dead, I'd kill that bastard…

"He was bad, all bad." Uo looked around at everyone with a serious expression. "He was always screwed up, telling me and Hanajima to leave because Tohru didn't need friends… and he tried to boss Kyoko around and act like he had control of her…"

Hanajima nodded and then looked to Tohru. "I'm glad you've cleared this up, you told us he disappeared."

"I know." Tohru nodded and turned to the Sohmas. "I'm sorry, I really should have told you sooner." She looked from each male to the next, and was disappointed to see Kyo looking away from her.

"Tohru, its fine." Momiji spoke up with seriousness in his voice that was very unlike him. "It was really just self-defense, you could never get in trouble for that."

"That's true." Haru added from beside Momiji. "That guy tried to hurt you, I think it's awesome that you beat the hell out of him."

Yuki turned to Haru with an unreadable expression. Leave it to Haru to try and make light of the situation.

"This really is different." Shigure spoke up now and looked at Tohru. "I suppose this Angelo and Vanessa told Akito a different story…which he told me." He pointed to himself. "He told me that you had killed him because you were jealous of all the time he was taking away from you and your mom, which I have to say is really absurd…"

"Pfft! Tohru? Jealous to kill?" Uo laughed at the writer's stupidity. "Puhlease, that's like getting Orangey," She pointed a finger to the looking off Kyo. "To dress like a girl because he wants to."

Tohru looked to Catalyna and tried to comfort her further. "Lyna-kun…"

Catalyna looked up and around at everyone. She had gotten lost in her thoughts and so now tried to get away. "I-I'm sorry, I'll help you all I can…I'll just go and… sorry for making you all think I'm… a nice person."

Tohru stopped her by wrapping her arms around the girl's shoulders and embracing her so she would not walk away. "Lyna-kun, please don't go. You can't walk away from us now!"

Catalyna looked at everyone in disbelief as Tohru held her to her chest. She tried to say something. "I'm…the worst…."

"You know about the curse," Tohru said as fresh tears began to fall at the thought of her walking away. "And I want you to stay with us, because you are kind, and I really care for you."

Uo and Hana both moved from their spots and sat beside Tohru, attempting to help comfort the girl.

"Hey, man." Uo pat Catalyna's almost buried head. "You just spilled your guts to us about everything," Uo said firmly. "Clearly you're not the worst if you put your neck on the line, cause from the sounds of it, your Mom's gonna be pissed that you told."

More tears began to fall from Catalyna and she could feel them soaking Tohru's front. "I was willing to hurt you…for revenge…"

Yuki looked at the girl who had been nothing but happy and bubbly at school. He felt guilty now, for thinking that she might be on the enemy's side. He looked to the other males, trying to communicate with them through looks to help let her know that it's alright. She can't possibly mean any kind of real harm… He looked at Haru, who looked confused, then at Shigure, who still held a serious expression, then at Kyo, who was looking away from the whole scene, then he turned to Momiji to find the boy now kneeling beside Tohru and Catalyna.

"Lyna-kun."

She looked at Momiji as he said her name very gently. She felt Tohru loosen her grip a bit and so turned to the blonde boy.

Momiji smiled at her warmly. "You are not the worst, or the best." He tilted his head to the side a little. "You are a normal person."

Her eyes widened a little and she could feel the guilt fade a bit. "Normal?" She asked through her now runny nose.

"Everyone wants to protect the one's they love." Momiji pat Tohru's arm and nodded. "Like Tohru, she protected her Mom."

Catalyna glanced around the room and then back to Momiji. "But I couldn't…protect my Dad…"

Momiji closed his eyes and shook his head. "We can't protect our parents all the time, just like they can't protect us."

Kyo now watched out of the corner of his eye as Tohru released her hug on the girl. Damn rabbit actually sounds smart…for once. He turned his full attention to them as Momiji made a sudden grab for Catalyna's hand.

Catalyna closed her eyes and looked away from him. "I couldn't save him."

"No!" Momiji said loudly as his brows furrowed in his determination and he grasped her hand to his chest. "You can't look back at the things you've done! Look forward, Lyna-kun, look forward and look around for what you can do now!"

She pulled her hand away from him and dashed for the front door.

"Lyna-kun!"

Tohru got up and chased after her, while everyone else was stopped by Shigure.

"Let her go." He said as he motioned for them all to sit down. "Or we could just watch her work her magic from the windows!"

Catalyna made it a few feet from the house when someone grabbed her arm from behind to stop her. She turned to see that it was Tohru.

"Lyna-kun, please." Tohru tried to plead with the girl. "Please don't run, I want you to stay!"

She looked at her in disbelief. She wanted her to stay? Why? "I can't be friends with you anymore! I'm not allowed to have real friends."

"Yes, you can!" Tohru raised her voice a little and everyone watching from the windows flinched. "You can't just go now! What you say you did is not bad, you did not hurt anyone!" The selfish feeling that Kyo had told her was okay to have was rising and she continued. "I'm being selfish, but I really want you to stay!"

Catalyna felt the guilt and regret lessen a bit, and she flung herself in to the girl's arms and clutched her shirt. She had never cried like this in front of anyone but her parents, before her Dad had been killed. It was a strange feeling to be able to pour out her tears to someone who was still practically a stranger, when the people she had to manipulate in America never made her feel so heard.

"You are too kind…" She sniffed and buried her face in to her shoulder. "Thank you..."

"She looks peaceful."

About an hour later, everyone now sat around the table once again while Catalyna lay asleep on the couch. The two girls had come in and sat down, but Catalyna had just fallen over and fell asleep. They all decided to let her sleep, and so moved the table a little ways away in case she woke up or rolled off. They all now sat talking as quietly as they could. Momiji was watching her sleep, as he was the one who made the comment.

"Peaceful or not, it's very sad." Shigure said as he eyed the sleeping girl in curiosity.

"What's sad?" Kyo asked in annoyance.

Shigure folded his arms and sighed. "That poor girl, I can't relate to the loss of a parent, but as far as the curse goes…" Shigure looked at Tohru in question. "She really does know, doesn't she?"

Tohru nodded. "Yes, it seems someone in the Sohma Estate has been leaking the secret." She put her finger to her chin in wonder. "Though, she would not tell me who it is…"

"Akito's been trying to figure that out, too." Shigure said as he looked to the other teens with worry. "There are not too many people to know about it to begin with, but it's rather difficult to pin it down to the culprit."

"So, this secret," Uo said while placing her arms on the table and looking at everyone. "If it's so important, why do you boys risk going to a school where girls want to mob you?"

Haru rested his elbow on the table and then put his head on his fist. "It's better than hiding at an 'all boys' school."

Yuki nodded in agreement. "So far, we've been able to avoid the hugs."

"So far." Kyo reminded everyone quietly. "We still have another year."

"Don't worry, Kyo." Haru said in a mock sympathetic voice. "Just don't go and turn into a pimp daddy and woo the girls, and it will be fine."

Kyo glared at Haru and fumed silently.

"Will Lyna-kun have to have her memories erased?" Momiji looked to Shigure sadly. Everyone knew it was already risky that Uo and Hanajima knew, but Catalyna had not accidentally discovered anything, it was told to her.

"No, it's pointless." Shigure sighed again and rubbed his temples. "It's not our place, since she did not exactly find out from any of us."

Tohru breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad Lyna-kun came forward, now we can help her, too."

Kyo snapped his head in her direction. "Help her?" He asked in disbelief. "Help her get them thrown in prison? That's just stupid, how has she helped us?"

Yuki turned to him and narrowed his eyes, angry that the stupid Cat was being selfish "She just told you that your mother's death was not suicide! Do you not listen to anything people say?"

Everyone was silent as they looked at Kyo, waiting for his expected reaction of yelling and stomping away. Tohru held her breath as she watched his eyes dull, and she could swear she seen them gloss over… as though he were about to cry.

Kyo stood up and turned to walk away, but before he did he spoke quietly.

"You don't know anything…"

Tohru watched him walk away and leave out of the front door, and then without thinking twice she got up and chased after him.

"Tohru!" Uo yelled as the brunette dashed to the door and disappeared as it closed behind her.

"Kyo-kun, please stop." Tohru trotted quickly behind him as he made his way to the ladder. "Kyo-kun, stop please ju-"

She stopped as he came to a halt in front of her and hardly turned his head around. She took a cautious step toward him with her hand outstretched, hoping he would talk to her and let his pain be known. "Kyo-kun…"

He turned his head to look at her, mustering the best glare he could possibly give her. He seen her take a step back in fear, and so spoke serious. "Leave me alone."

She flinched at the look in his eye. Was that hate? Sadness? Anger? She could not read him and her heart just about broke as he turned and headed up the ladder. Why, Kyo-kun? Why will you not let me reach you…? She decided she would give him time to cool down and so headed inside the house.

"Tohru, are you alright?" Uo dashed to her the second she walked in the door. "Did he yell at you?"

Tohru shook her head. "He's upset though, we should leave him on the roof for a while."

Shigure heaved a heavy and dramatic sigh as he pointed toward the clock on the wall. "It is much too late for the young ladies to go home! You must all stay here."

Haru looked at the clock and then back to Shigure. "Sensei, it's only eight fifteen."

"Can we spend the night?!" Momiji chimed up and turned to Shigure with a smile. "Please? I want to visit with Lyna-kun and Tohru!"

"Momiji," Shigure pointed to Catalyna sleeping. "You can't talk to her while she's sleeping, you'll look psychotic and you might wake her!"

"I can not stay." Hanajima suddenly stood up and made for the door. "I need to bid the Night farewell before slipping in to a dark slumber."

Uo stood too and yawned. "Whatever she said, doesn't apply to me." She went to the door by Hanajima and slipped on her shoes. "I have to get home and unlock the door, so my Dad doesn't stay out all night."

"Um, okay." Tohru walked over to the door and bid her friends good night.

Haru stood up and stretched out his arms. "I'm staying--in Yuki's room." He tried to stifle the yawn to talk.

"Whatever." Was Yuki's only response as he got up and bid good night to everyone, saying he had to do homework before bed. Haru followed anyways, saying he had to tease him before bed.

Tohru smiled around. "I'm going to get ready for bed." She walked toward the stairs and then turned to the remaining Momiji and Shigure. "Is it okay if I leave Lyna-kun for a little bit…?"

Momiji nodded. "I'll watch her! I won't let Shigure do anything to her!"

And meanwhile, outside a Yankee and Wave reader were lingering…

"Maybe we should go see Kyoko." Uo suggested to Hanajima as the two stood a few feet from the ladder leading to the roof.

"Perhaps." Hanajima responded as she looked to the sky. "I am hungry…let's have a late dinner, shall we?"

Uo felt her stomach growl and turned to look at the ladder, seeing that it was the one that lead to the roof.

"Hanajima, can you wait here a second?" Uo said as she stepped over to the ladder.

And on the roof a Cat sat alone…

Kyo stared out in to the trees, not angry or sad, just thinking about the subject Yuki had brought up earlier. A blank expression occupied his features as millions of emotions battled inside him to win the open spot in his face.

Suicide…murder….accident…which was it?

He looked away from the trees and turned his attention to a tile by his leg. He knew very well which one it was, but he felt it better to not share that information with anyone. He knew that if he would have let Tohru talk to him earlier, she would have pulled the truth out of him. He would have poured out the secrets about his mom, and about another person…

Accident, or murder? Most definitely not suicide…

He shook his head as memories threatened to drown his brain with how quickly they flooded in. He had tried to forget about everything; pull the plug and watch as they all got sucked in to the drain. But, no, memories don't work that way…

"Kyo…hey Kyo!"

An accident…

"Take a look at this, cute isn't she?"

Or murder…

"Want to see her? Bet you do…"

He shut his eyes and tried to push away the voice…the face and the clothes…the kind smile…the carefree attitude…

"Hey, Kyo!"

Stop…

"Yo!"

Kyo turned his head and snapped his eyes open to see the blonde haired Uo stepping on to the roof and walking over to him.

"What are you doing up here?" He asked as angrily as he could.

"What's it to you?" Uo retorted as she sat down next to him and looked up at the sky. "Nice spot, Kyon."

Kyo rolled his eyes and scooted an inch away from her. "Do you have a point for coming up here?" He felt kind of awkward; he never spoke to Uo much, unless he was yelling or just asking a question.

Uo did not turn as she spoke. "Tohru, duh." She clenched her fist and slammed it down on a tile, and then turned to him suddenly angry. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"What?!" Kyo exclaimed as he flinched in her anger. Then he opened his mouth to retort but she smacked him in the head to make him shut up.

"Shut yer trap and listen!" She yelled at him before taking deep breaths and calming down to speak civilly. "Any idiot who hurts her," She spoke in a forced calm voice. "I'll kick their ass." She pointed her finger at him and caused him to flinch while rubbing his head. "You already know this."

He looked at her with a confused expression. "Okay…and that matters now because…?" He asked cautiously in fear of being hit again.

She calmed down a little and lowered her hand. "Damn, you are stupid." She yawned and then spoke in a more civil (a little more civil) tone.

"Look, you upset her a lot, but in a different way." She pointed her finger at him again. "It makes her sad when you're angry with her, whereas if anyone else is angry with her, it makes her scared." She looked at his still confused face and continued with a new note of irritation. "Dammit! She freakin cares about you too much. I can see it all the time, and so can Hanajima." She pointed to the ground below where Hanajima waited patiently.

"And so you haven't kicked my ass because…?" Kyo asked in a more fearful tone as he expected another smack to the head. He relaxed when she dropped her anger and continued.

"If I kick your ass, it's like you're just anyone else." She got up suddenly and stood facing the ladder. "So we have to let her do it instead, in her own way."

Kyo watched her walk away in confusion. What the hell was she talking about? He was about to go back to looking at the trees when Uo's voice called out again.

"Orangey!"

Kyo turned as she was about to descend down the ladder. "What?!"

"Don't hurt her."

Whatever. Uo disappeared and he thought he should go inside and apologize for seeming angry; it's not like anything was really Tohru's fault. But, he was really on edge about what she had told him...how Xavier tried to…touch her.

No one will ever do that to her…as long as I live… He looked around satisfied with that thought and self-promise, until a different, more evil voice popped in his head…

Cause if it's not you, then it's not right.

Kyo wanted to smack himself for thinking that way and his face turned completely red. Just like on other occasions when he would be sitting alone and she would cross his mind, and his thoughts would wander to all the things he wanted to do…

With her, right?

"No." Kyo said aloud and this time did smack himself for the voice. "I am not a pervert."

Yeah, you are. The voice spoke again. You know you watch her hang the laundry, cook dinner and do her homework…wishing you could just hold her close to your body…

"Dammit, no!" He yelled louder than he intended to. Feeling like a dirty old man he then decided he would try and just apologize to her. He got up and ignored the voice in his head and descended the ladder.

"Oh wow…"

Tohru was bent over her bed looking underneath it for a pair of pajamas. She could not believe she had actually told everyone about her secret. Though she knew she should be thinking of a way to fix everything, her mind wandered to a certain orange haired boy on top of the roof.

"Aha!" She exclaimed as she found her long sleeved shirt and pants that were her pajamas. She stood up and started to take off her clothes to change. Why, why can I not just run to him and…be brave and tell him how I feel…? She was standing in her bra and underwear, and looked at herself as she walked over to a mirror that was above her dresser.

I'm so…like a little girl… She looked at her chest and frowned at the embarrassing size of her bust. Might as well be a pancake… She poked her stomach, wondering if she should take up a form of exercise to tone her body more. Maybe then I would have the confidence to tell him…

She looked at her face now and stared at her reflection. And how would having a better body help me tell him? The voice in her head spoke…Because, then maybe he would look at me…and maybe I would seem more beautiful…like Isuzu-san.

"No… I could not dress that way…I have not the confidence…" She sighed and poked her stomach again.

Then again, I've never tried wearing clothing like Isuzu-san…maybe Kyo likes those kinds of clothes on a girl? She shook her head just as she heard her door open and she turned around quickly.

"Hey, Tohru-"

Momiji stopped dead in his tracks and stared wide eyed at her. It took him a moment to realize she was screaming at him

"AHHHH! GET OUT!!" Tohru screamed as she leaped behind her bed to hide herself from view.

"S-sorry!" He squeaked as he covered his eyes and ran out of her room without shutting the door. He felt himself collide with some one and opened his eyes to see Kyo stumble back a bit.

"What the hell?" Kyo asked, annoyed that the stupid kid wasn't watching where he was going.

Momiji looked up at him scared before running around him shouting. "I didn't do anything I just went to talk to her!"

Kyo shrugged the ignorant behavior and walked in to her room without looking around and shut the door behind him.

"Hey, Tohru, we need to talk about-"

Tohru stood up relieved that Momiji had left and did not notice Kyo standing and watching her. She heard the voice and then looked up to see a second male to see her, but worse, him!

"K-KYO-KUN!!" She shrieked as she grabbed her bed sheets and covered herself.

"I'M SORRY!!" Kyo yelled as he turned around and tried to leave quickly, forgetting he had shut the door.

WHAM!

He crashed right in to it, then dizzily fell backwards and hit the floor with a thud.

"Kyo-kun!!" Tohru shrieked this time in worry. She quickly pulled the sheet around her body kimono-style and dashed to his side. "Are you alright?!"

"Oww…" He groaned as he felt his nose numb from the collision. I ran.. In to a door…smart. He blinked and looked at Tohru kneeling beside him.

"Should I get ice?" She asked as she pressed her hand to his forehead and moved his bangs out of his eyes. "You have a small bump on your head."

"A bump..?" He sat up suddenly and remembered why he had tried to run out of the room. "Crap! You're naked!" He turned his head away from her and shut his eyes tightly, cursing himself to hell for not knocking.

Or maybe you should forget to knock more often…

"Errr." He shut the voice out and grumbled.

Tohru laughed at how he was not looking at her. "Kyo-kun, I'm not naked, I have a sheet! You can open your eyes." She hugged the sheet tighter around her, now feeling self-conscious that he had actually seen her in her bra and underwear.

He turned his head back to her with his eyes still closed tightly. "Are you sure?"

"Yes." She said as she pulled it even tighter and watched his face turn red as he opened his eyes slowly. "See? I'm covered."

He sighed in relief and rubbed the bump on his forehead. "I'm sorry, I came in here for a reason."

The two stood up and faced each other. Tohru had a little difficulty due to the length of the sheet, but she managed and looked at him expectantly.

Now how do I start? He tried to think of how to start apologizing for earlier, but he could not push the thoughts of the full story away.

"Kyo-kun," Tohru took a step toward him. "Are you okay…?"

He opened his mouth slightly to say something, but then looked in to her eyes and felt a sudden falling feeling in his stomach. That man had hurt her, hurt her and her mother and her friends. Why had no one been able to protect them?

"I.." He started but then looked away and stared at the floor, not able to hold the eye contact any longer. "I'm sorry…for everything."

"Huh?" Tohru said in confusion. What was 'everything' he was apologizing for? "What do you mean by everything?"

"I kept pushing you," He said as he continued to stare at the floor. "Pushing you to tell me the truth when I didn't know it was that bad…and all that pushing caused you to close up….I wasn't fair to you."

"No, you don't have to apologize!" She panicked as he kept looking at the floor, blaming himself for her keeping the truth secret. "I should have told you the truth to begin with! I was the one who came to you with it!"

"But you were suffering before that!" His voice grew louder as he continued. "And we all just sat around here, worrying but not making any real attempts to help you!" Was that it? Was that what was making him so upset with himself? Was it really that he did not try hard enough to help her before she went to him with her secret?

Or was it his own regretful past…?

"That's not true."

He looked up as she spoke and took another step closer to him, her expression was full of worry for him . Now I'm making her worry about me…

"Kyo-kun, you did try and help me. Everyone in this house," She was now only about a foot away from him, and despite the conversation, she could feel herself becoming nervous "Everyone tried to help me. I only went to you because….I just thought you would understand. And I didn't tell you the rest because….I thought you would think…"

He watched as tears began to form in her eyes, threatening to fall as she continued.

"I thought you would think I was…vengeful and angry…"

And now the tears fell uncontrollably as she buried her face in her hands in shame. That was the reason; she did not want him to think she was a person who harbored negativity, regardless of how bad things were.

"I'm sorry Kyo-kun, I'm sorr-"

She suddenly felt him grab her shoulders and pull her closer, and she opened her eyes wide as she felt her head hit his chest and his arms wrap around her in a strong embrace. It felt so right to be held by him; but only for a moment this sort of thing could last…

POOF!

As the smoke cleared she held him tightly in her arms, wishing some kind of miracle would strike and he would be human again.

She looked at the door as she heard the sound of running in the hall. The door swung open and Momiji stood there looking straight at Kyo.

Tohru looked at him in alarm "Momiji-ku-?"

"Kyo, I don't know if you care, but.." He looked as the orange Cat lifted his head to pay attention and continued.

"There was just a phone call, today they found your father…dead."
