Chapter 4 A Talk of Monsters

Tohru ran. That's all she could do. Something inside was urging her, run. She didn't know what ha come over her when she had said that to Yuki-Kun, but she knew it was right. Somehow, she knew he needed her. And not later, now. So she ran, her heart thumping painfully against her ribs. Not knowing how or why she knew, but knowing that she was needed.

Kyo sat in beetle position, hands over his head. Sakura's words of "You are not a monster" mixed with the words he would always cherish in his heart, Tohru's words, telling him she wanted to be with him. He clutched his head, Akito's words, "You are a monster" entered, unbidden into his mind. The statements of his monstrosity, everything he had ever been told, clashed against the Tohru and Sakura's words. He didn't know what to believe.

'W-What, what am I?' he thought. Pictures flashed through his mind. His mother playing games with him, and telling him she was proud of him; his mother's dead body before him; everyone telling him it was his fault; Shishou taking him in; Shishou being better than his own father ever was to him; a beautiful woman with short orange hair, the same color as his; a car crash; fighting yuki; meeting her; Every moment with her; and finally, the day he realized, he was in love with her, but had to stay away, to save her.

'What do I do?' was his last, desperate thought before he heard loud, crashing noises, and a voice he would know anywhere, screaming in worry, one phrase over and over,

"Kyo-Kun! Kyo-Kun! Kyo-Kun! Kyo-Kun! KYO!!!!!!"

He started, She, she was here? She, she had actually come looking for him, after he screamed for the yankee, her friend to leave him alone. He gave a wry smile, he should have known she would come for him, no matter what.

Tohru ran with her heart in her throught, she gave one last scream. "KYO!!!" She realized, slightly belatedly, that she had called him by his first name alone. Oh know! She thought, frantic with worry, what he gets mad? Well, she thought, steeling herself, the important thing is that I find him! She finally saw his bright orange mop of hair. She gave one last spurt of speed and ran into the clearing.

He looked up at the sudden loud noise near him. It was Tohru, and she looked exhausted. She was sweating and her eyes were swirling. She gasped, and smiled and, she moved toward him when…

She tripped on a rock, and landed, face in the dirt, at Kyo's feet.

She lifter her head and saw his stunned expression, they looked at each other for a few moments, then Kyo helped her up. She sat, a little closer than was necessary, and he patted her on the head. She was surprised to feel a blush rushing into her cheeks, and her heart jumped to her throat. He noticed her red cheeks.

"hey, you ok? You run so hard, dummy." But he smiled, a beautiful, gentle smile as he said it.

"Y-Yes" She said, stuttering in her nervousness. 'Why am I nervous! It's just Kyo-Kun!' "Uh-uh, are you okay Kyo-Kun? You ran really fast. Do you want to talk about it?"

He looked at her, face full of worry, and felt a sudden desire to tell her how he felt. He opened his mouth to tell her, when suddenly Akito's voice went though his mind. "You think you'd be allowed such a thing?!" If Akito, if Akito found out that he's fallen in love with her. Akito'd hurt her, he'd take her away from Kyo. 'No' he thought and closed his mouth, 'I want to stay with her, even if she doesn't know and doesn't feel the same way. I stay with her, until I must go away. I want to be with her till the end.'

As they walked back home, Kyo held Tohru's hand, telling her it was so she wouldn't get lost.

She closed her hand around his, feeling the warmth of palm. 'what is this feeling?' she thought. Her heart was pounding, her pulse was rushing, she wanted Kyo to go away and let go of her hand, but more than anything she wanted to hold his hand forever. 'what is this feeling? What should I call this feeling? Still sleeping in my undeveloped heart.'
