Losing My One Treasure: Chapter 7

Yuki

I didn't know where I was going, but my feet lead the way. This is stupid! I don't even know where she is. She could be at her house or some unknown place I don't know about…Why do I always drag myself in bad solutions?

I slowed down to catch my breath and I looked up in the sky. Please God…help me find Kagura-nee. I'm scared for her. I don't want anything bad to happen.

I frowned as more raindrops fell on my nose and I retreated to a wet bench. I guess I could check her house, but I don't think she would be there. After all, she was going to stay at our place after the date.

I cursed under my breath and put my hands over my ears, closing my eyes. Think think. Where is the one place she always goes to whenever she has nowhere to go? I looked up, finally coming up with a location that made sense. I might as well try.

I ran for the only place I knew she could be after listening to all her childhood stories about her and Kyo.

Tohru

I beamed open my eyes and turned over to the opposite side of me. I stared down at the empty spot and glanced up at the window. Kyo-kun isn't here. I guess he woke up from the rain.

I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen so I can make a snack for Kyo. He might be hungry.

I stopped roaming through the fridge as I heard gusts of wind coming inside the house. I hope no one left the door open.

I peeked over the corner as I looked out the door and after I minute of watching him…I noticed a letter clutched in his hands.

"Kyo- kun? What are you doing outside?" He slowly turned towards me and my eyes widened.

A single tear fell from his cheek.

Yuki

I stopped to a run-down park and searched around with my flashlight. Where can you be?...

My eyes seemed to drop as I saw someone swinging on one of the swings. It made a squeaking noise every time she would swing back and forth. She didn't seem to notice me until I dropped the flashlight on the ground and her head jerked up.

Her ghostly eyes reached mine and I put my hand over my mouth, scared by her appearance. She seemed different as if she was a different person. I knew he did something to her.

"Kagura-nee…" I spoke out her name and I thought her reaction was going to be her telling me to back off…but instead she walked up from the swing and slowly made her way to me.

The street light gleamed light on her face and she seemed pale and I could tell she was crying for a while.

Kagura stopped a few feet from me and I knew she was in the verge of tears. She fell on her knees, crying like a little child.

I rushed over and put my arms around her petite figure. Kagura…I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I should have told you straight out that I didn't like him.

She rested her head on my chest and I stroked her hair. I tried to tell you…but it came out wrong. I'll try to help…because even if it was jealousy or not…I don't want you to go out with anyone else.

"I have to be brave…" I looked down at Kagura, my eyes gleaming in confusion and surprise. So she remembered.

Flashback

"Yuki?" Kagura opened the door to see if the little child was sleeping yet. Yuki looked up sheepishly at Kagura and she tip-toped in.

"What is it Kagura-neesan?" Yuki faced Kagura as she sat down and looked nervously around the room. There was a flash of lighting and the little girl jumped.

She crawled under the sheets and let out a little yelping noise. The little boy was curious and he lifted the sheets to find the older girl's face.

"Are you scared of thunder, Kagura-neesan?" The brunette nodded shakily and Yuki reached out his hand to her.

"Be brave. After all the thunder can't hurt you…even if it tried to. I'll protect you always." The boy smiled and the girl returned the smile as she reached out for his hand.

End of Flashback

Kagura

"You said you always would protect me…" I looked up at Yuki and he didn't give me a glance. He looked down, thinking to his self.

"Gomen Kagura-nee…I won't let it happen again. I promise." He spoke in a sad tone and he gave me a slight smile. I returned it and rested back into his arms.

Shigure

I was already awake when I heard Yuki and Kyo's little argument and Tohru rushing to Kyo's side. Hai…this seems like a good romance story indeed. I wonder…hmm…of course he is.

I chuckled for a few seconds and stopped as soon as I heard footsteps coming into the house. You would think people would be sleeping at this time of night…

I stepped out of my room and glanced up as a smile came onto my face by the sight of my two cousins.

Yuki came in with Kagura on his back and walked up the stairs without looking up at me. I looked over at the other two. Tohru stood there, smiling at the thought of them together and Kyo. Something seemed different. He cursed under his breath and walked into the kitchen to eat the leftover rice balls.

Strange behavior, my dear cat. Is that jealously I see? Very interesting…indeed.

Yuki

I smiled down at Kagura as I sat her down against the wall. Back there…I have no idea what happened. I gave her a piggy-back ride and on the way she fell asleep. She seems so gentle when she's asleep.

Her eye lids opened and she blushed as she noticed that our faces were inches from each other. We both said gomen as we rushed into opposite directions.

"Thank you, Yun-chan." She smiled sweetly at me and shivered. I forgot we were still wet.

"Maybe you should take a shower and I'll go make you a snack." I stood up and Kagura looked up at me.

"But what about you? I don't want you to get a cold." I gave her a little smile and helped her up.

"Don't worry about me. I'll just change my clothes." I gestured towards the door and she gave me a worried look as she headed to the door.

I turned my back when I felt someone embrace me from behind. My face flushed with confusion and embarrassment.

Kagura

"Yun-chan, t-thank—you." I let my head rest on his back as my arms wrapped around his waist. After a few seconds, Yuki's body turned around so now my head was resting on his chest.

I felt his own arms wrap around me in a warm hug and I blushed.

"I told you before. I'll always protect you no matter what. I promised…I guess I let you down." He gave me a quick glance before his eyes lowered onto the floor.

I shook my head in disagreement and smiled softly. "He tried too, but he got a little too close." Yuki's head shot up and he gave me a worried look.

I chuckled and my tone softened. "When I turned into a boar, he freaked out." I paused. "I almost gave up, but after that little accident…I came to my senses and beat him up. I guess he won't be touching any more girls anymore." I smiled and Yuki hugged me tighter.

"Thank god. I thought he hurt you." My eyes widened as he said those words and he looked into my eyes. "But Kagura…why did you almost give up?" He had a concerned look on his face and I lowered my head.

"I thought the only person who was interested in me was this guy and no one cared anyway…so—" I was interrupted as Yuki raised my chin to his level and he gave me a kind smile.

"I care about you, Kagura-nee." I mumbled a thanks as streams of tears fell from my eyes and a smile crept onto my face. Someone cares for me and worries about me. Yun-chan, I hope you're always around to comfort me and care for me because I know if you're not there…I'll fall into pieces. Arigato gazaimasu, Yun-chan.

Kyo

I sat besides Shigure as we both sipped our tea and I started thinking of what happened earlier. That damn rat thinks he can take care of Kagura just because I'm not with her. I would have gone if he wasn't such a bastard and wanted to get into other people's business.

Damn. He probably thinks he can sweep her off her feet and make her fall in love with him. Stupid bastard! But the more I think about it, Yuki doesn't know she got her memory erased and thinks she's trying to get over me. His probably messing with her so he can get back at me! YEAH! That's it.

That rat thinks he's so smart. But don't worry. I'll make sure she remembers who she loved.

I paused a moment in thought as Tohru walked past me and went upstairs.

Tohru's probably hurt and confused. She saw me, but I just pushed her away saying that it was nothing…when it really was something.

I can't stop thinking of Kagura and why she gave up. I thought she loved me more than anything and there she goes…erasing me from her memory. Was I not important enough or did she want to love someone else? Kagura, are you running to Yuki instead of me?

Yuki

I changed into something dry and walked downstairs to get some tea for myself and something for Kagura.

As I passed the dining table, I couldn't help but notice that Kyo was in deep thought. I didn't even know he could think…strange really.

Kyo stood up, still in deep thought as his shoulder shoved against mine as he retreated to Tohru's room. Stupid cat.

I went into the kitchen and heated up some left-over leek soup for Kagura. My eyes stared into the flames and my mind went into thought. I wonder if Kagura is done. She's probably crying some more. I hope she can tell me more tomorrow.

After waiting until the soup was heated, I poured it into a bowl and companied it with some hot tea and plum rice balls. I dashed upstairs with the food on a wooden board and peeked inside the room as I heard laughter.

The ends of my hair went up as I saw what Kagura was looking at. MY PHOTO ALBUM!!

Kagura

I started laughing as I stared down at a picture of a young Yuki in the bathtub. I stopped as I heard the door creek open and I turned around, giving a goofy smile.

"I thought you were always shy, but I guess not!" I started giggling as Yuki gives me an angry glare as he sets the food on his desk. I dash to the food, digging into the rice balls.

"I didn't know you were such a pig, Kagura." I stop eating and look up at a smiling Yuki. I twitch my eye in anger as I take a bite of the rice ball.

"I'm the pig after all! I'm starving too, ok?" I give him a smart look and he shrugs it off as his gaze turns to the photo album. "Where did you find this anyway?" He flips the page quickly from the embarrassing bathtub picture and stared down at a picture of him and Shihan.

I finish the rice balls and glance at the picture, forming a smile on my face. "I found it in your desk. I like digging through people's stuff." I sniff the soup before taking a sip as Yuki continues to explore the album.

"It's nice to look at all these pictures again. I haven't gone through this thing for a while." His eyes scan the picture of some kids at the dojo with Shihan.

I focus on the picture better and notice the kids are Yuki, me, Kyo, and Haru. We all looked happy even Kyo who always had a frown now in days.

Yuki

My face expression changed into a smile as I saw Kagura glancing at the picture now. We were all so happy when we were kids. Even that damn baka neko. Now that I think about it, he wasn't the same when his mother died. He was unhappy and only seemed to smile when Shihan was around. But why was he smiling then? Was because Kagura was there?

I studied Kagura's face closely and notice her eyes seemed to be different. Her brown eyes didn't light up like they used to, but indeed had a somber look to them. Is it because Kyo was happy with her then, but not now?

Kagura

I felt a sudden gust of emotions fill inside of me. What? What's this feeling that's creeping out? I clutched my hand to my chest and let my hair fall down to my face, as I lower my head. Why am I sad? For what? One look of that picture and sadness creeps into my heart. I steal another glance at the picture and my eyes darted to myself and slowly drift by the happy cat.

My vision became blurry and I close my eyes quickly, as I suddenly start panicking. What's wrong with me? Am I sick? I can hear Yuki rushing to my side and his own frightened voice fills into my ears.

I close my lids tighter as streams of tears fall down my cheeks from the pain in my chest.

Yuki

"KAGURA!" I watched as tears fall down her face and I stare back in awe. What can I do? It's probably about Kyo. That baka neko doesn't do anything right. He's lucky I didn't kill him yet for what he did to Kagura.

My fears seem to drift away as I see Kagura open her eyes and look over to me. Her eyes…seem so confused and lost, as if she's looking for an answer. My hand retreated to her shoulder as I sigh in relief.

"You're ok, right?" She nods shakily and her expression changes. She smiles and takes my hand from her shoulder.

"Hai! I'm alright. Nothing to worry about." She squeezes my hand slightly as I return her smile. "Um. Ok." We both smile at each other before noticing that she's still holding my hand and I blush slightly.

"Kagura-nee…?...Well you let go of my hand?" I mumbled out and her hand quickly darted away from mine. "GOMEN!..." She blushes herself as she scratches the back of her head in embarrassment. I couldn't help, but grin. Something about the way that she actually made a move and still cares for Kyo. Is she slowly moving away from Kyo and into a new relationship? The scary part is that is that new relationship with me?

Kagura

Yuki grinned at my little weird squeezing hand move and I found myself smiling too. I didn't intend for that to be that long…but when I held his hand…he felt so warm and soft. I feel different when I'm around him like I can tell him anything. Could this be the start of something new, Yun-chan?

Tohru

I sighed in sadness as I stared out the foggy window. It was still raining, but seemed to be lighter every second. I just hope the rain stops and brings a nice day tomorrow.

I heard the door creek open and my attention didn't leave the window. I could tell it was Kyo-kun. He sat beside me on my bed and spoke in a calm tone. "Gomen, Tohru. I didn't mean to be so harsh. There has been a lot on my mind lately." I turned towards him and faked a smile.

"Kyo-kun, you don't have to be sorry. You don't have to tell me." I gave him an assuring smile so that he'll think I understood. He gave me a smile and gave me a peck on the cheek.

"I'll tell you when I'm ready. Thanks for understanding." He walked out of the room before I could say anything. I blushed from the peck and thought to myself. What's bothering you?

Kagura

"Awww!! Come on!", I tugged on Yuki's sleeve as he kneeled down to fix his mat. He tried to ignore my bugging and continued fixing his mat.

"It's only for one night! It's not like we're going to do anything….AND AND! I don't snore!" I hugged his arm against my chest as I felt his eyes shift to me.

"Gah…fine…Just don't do any strange stuff." He quickly shifted his eyes back to his task at hand and hid his flushed face.

"HAI!" I spread out another blanket and smiled at myself. I know it's kind of strange for me to sleep in the same bed as Yuki, but I feel safe with him. Tohru will probably be cuddling with Kyo-chan.

As soon as the daily routine was finished, Yuki went over to his desk where he turned on his little lamp that shines over the dark room. I stared up at him curiously from my laying position.

"What are you reading?" I raise my head and he waits until he finishes the page before replying. "It's just a book I'm borrowing from Shigure…nothing interesting…you know his books." He rested his bookmark on a page and closes it.

"I didn't know you were a pervert, Yun-chan!" I start pestering him as his face turns a pinkish color. I didn't know Yuki liked those kinds of books. Maybe he started reading them because of his hormones.

"It's not like that at all!" Yuki's voice softened after the last word and he stared down at the book as if it was the bible. "This book isn't like any book he has written. It actually has a meaning." He paused for a minute. "I think it was meant for someone to read." He looked up at me as if I would understand.

"Maybe." We both stared at the book for a few seconds before I broke the silence. "Well I'm pretty tired!" I walked over to the sleeping mat and started fixing my pillow. Yuki soon followed after he turned off the lamp.

Yuki

I sat down on the opposite side of Kagura as she laid down. Did Shigure leave this book out on purpose? Did he want this book to make a difference? I put myself under the covers and laid on my side.

So far I've read when Kimi's father tells her that they are leaving Japan to America. She bursts into tears calling Kouga to meet her at that old park. They meet and Kimi confesses she's leaving to America in a few days. Kouga says some harsh words like he never really liked Kimi and doesn't care if she leaves. Hearing this from her best friend, Kimi runs off. Kouga cries soon after Kimi leaves.

A few days pass, Kimi and Kouga have been ignoring each other at school. On her last day in Japan, Kimi mentions how she never needed Kouga and how their whole relationship was a lie. Her father soon mentions to her they have to leave to the airport and Kimi looks back at her house for the last time. Tears fall down her face as she soon thinks about Kouga and told herself she was lying to herself. She did need Kouga and how she still loved him even if he didn't. She goes into the limo with her father and heads to the airport.

Kouga comes to his senses and starts to explain that he only said those things because he was sad that she was leaving and he wanted to make it easier for me. He didn't think about her feelings. He ran to her house, but was too late because she already left.

"Yun-chan? Are you still awake?" I turn my side so that I'm facing Kagura.

Kagura

I call out to Yuki and he faces me. We stare at each other in silence and I feel Yuki brush some hair from my eyes. I close my eyes in shyness and mumble his name under my breath as he touches my cheek.

Yuki

"Kagura…" I whisper her name under my breath as I caress her cheek and stare deeply in her eyes. Even though it was dark I could see her face was flushed. I feel like my heart is about to burst into a thousand pieces just being with Kagura tonight. I wonder if she feels the same. Can this really happen between us?

"I know you probably are uncomfortable because of what happened tonight. But I feel like…" I stopped as Kagura grabbed hold of my hand.

"--Something could really happen between us." She have me a sweet smile and I gave her a kiss on her forehead.

"Good night, Kagura." I wrapped my arms around her waist and closed my eyes. I don't want this happiness to end.

Kagura

"Good night, Yuki." I lowered my head to his chest and closed my eyes. I don't want this happiness to end.
