Chapter three: ...Long explainations

I sat down and looked at the floor. I know that I should tell them why I was here and where my parents were, but I really didn't know it they would send me away. I traced invisible patterns on the floor. I sighed but didn't move. What if...what if... what if...those were the only questions I could think of.

"Karissa? Please...tell me what's wrong. We used to tell each other everything! OH! Did I do something to upset you!? Oh Karissa, I'm So---"

"No! You didn't...do anything..." I interupted. "I ran away..." I whispered afterwards.

"Karissa...Why did you run away? Your mom must be sooo worried! I'll go call her and tell her your here!" Tohru stood up only to be tackled down by me.

"Please don't call them! They're all the way in America and I don't want to leave..." I started to sob. Ever since my dad had died...my mom had been indifferent towards me. Like it was. My fault.

"Oh, Karissa...We'll have to call them sometime..." Tohru explained.

I smiled a smile that said, 'But not now, right?'. Tohru hugged me again and turned back to Shigure, Kyo, and Yuki, who stood by the door waiting for our reuinion to be over.

"You guys...Well...Shigure...umm can she...?" Tohru looked down as if she was asking to much. I looked out side while she tried to compose her sentence. Rain had started coming down and everything was covered in water, puddles were filling, mud was being made, and birds flew happliy in it. Rain was one of the many things that kept everything alive. I smiled at the thought. I then heard a laugh and Shigure's loud voice snapped me out of my rivein.

"Tohru, Tohru, Tohru," He began," What kind of person would I be if I kicked her out of the house? You don't give me enough credit!" He laughed again and Tohru's face turned a slight shade of pink.

"N-no! That's not what I meant! I know your kind! I know your consciderate! I just thought that I should ask!" Tohru said softly.

"Hahaha! Tohru! Your innocence is refreshening!" Shigure was now earning hard evil glares from Kyo and Yuki.

They continued their conversation and Kyo got up and opened a door, closing it behind him. I stood up and followed him. I snuck out of the room and saw him walk up a staircase. I followed softly and walked into a room. I saw Kyo sink to his knees, still ablivious to the fact that I was there, and began to strech his arms and legs. The room I saw had physical equipment and punching bags. Kyo stood up and attacted a punching bag. I watched for a while. And then...I sneezed.

Kyo kell onto his butt and turned around angrily.

"You! What are you doing here!" He shouted.

I didn't flinch away from him. He moved forward and studied my come childish face and acessed my belt. It was 13 animals on it. A roaster, a bunny, a dragon/Seahorse, a horse, a tiger, an ox, a snake, a monkey, a pig, a dog, a rat, and...a cat?

"Yo, what's with your belt?" He stared pointedly at me.

"...You mean how there are 13 animals instead of 12? That's...I guess...I like the cat. Always have." I shrugged slightly.

Kyo sighed. "Just like everyone else lately."

I laughed slightly. "Tohru?" I asked my voice light; buyant.

"Yep."

"What about you? You like the cat, right?"

"Hmm...not really. The cat is cursed."

"No..." I started, "not cursed...just misunderstood."

I got up and walked out the door leaving a dumbfounded Kyo.
