Another Reader- Hmm… thanks for the offer but I have no idea how to get my story to you! (And I have NO IDEA what's a beta reader either…hee hee, lol)
Yeah, new chapter… this one has a bit more detail about what happen with Kira and Haru in his room… so beware…
Haru's Room:
"Haru-chan?" Kira asked as she slowly opened his door. She saw Haru sitting on the floor, reading a book.
"Kira? Hey." Haru looked and smiled.
"He seems fine to me." Kira thought as she sat down next to him.
"Hey. So what's this about you going Black in school?" Kira asked.
"How do you know about that?" Haru looked surprised. He didn't think that everyone would hear about that so soon.
"It's a school full of teens! Everyone is a gossiper!" Kira exclaimed.
"So you gossip too?" Haru smiled and casually put his arm around her shoulders.
"What am I doing?" Haru thought, panicking
"Just making things move a bit faster…" a voice said in his head.
"I just listen to the gossip… so what's up with you?" Kira replied as she perused through the book Haru was reading.
"Nothing, just been thinking about some stuff…" Haru answered.
"What the HELL? I meant to just say 'Nothing'!" Haru thought
"If you just said that, what fun would that be? Now she'll worry about you." a dark voice grinned
"Thinking about some stuff…?" Kira echoed, flipping through the book.
"Isn't this Shigure's book?" she asked him.
"Yeah." Haru answered carefully, making sure he said nothing else. His arm around Kira's shoulder pulled her closer to him.
"Hey, Kira. We're just friends right?" he whispered into her ear. She looked up at him and her eyes slightly widen.
"His eyes… He turned Black!" Kira thought.
"Yeah, we're friends…" she answered, puzzled.
"Wanna be more than that?" he whispered softly. He felt her heart beating faster and he smirked.
"Hmm… this is going to be fun…" he darkly thought.
"Haru… I think-" she began to say but he kissed her lightly on the lips, cutting her off.
"Shh… you don't know, do you? He loves you so much but he had to make you forget what you saw, what he didn't want you to see, what you had… that's alright, you have me now…"he soothed, putting a finger to lips. He then began to kiss her, crushing his mouth against hers.
"What is he talking about? Oh my God… what am I doing?" Kira thought as she let Haru's tongue into her mouth, kissing him back. Both of them weren't aware that Yuki had just opened the door, staring at them.
"Haru…" Kira murmured, pulling her lips away from his and kicked him, causing him to crash into the wall.
"Kira?" Yuki said and Kira looked at him, stunned.
"Yuki? What are you doing here?" Kira asked
"Ow… I'm exhausted…" Haru moaned.
"Are you okay?" Kira anxiously asked him as she helped him up with Yuki's help.
"Yeah…Yuki? What are you doing here?" Haru finally noticed Yuki
"I came to check on Kira." Yuki answered and grabbed Kira's arm.
"Eh? Yuki?" Kira followed as he pulled her out, leaving Haru behind.
"We have to go." Yuki said, biting his lips.
"Did he say anything? She seems fine…" Yuki's mind raced.
"Hatori?" Kira was amazed to see the doctor waiting outside.
"Kira? Are you all right?" Hatori inquired, slightly worried.
"Yeah… what's going on? Why are you two here?" Kira questioned
"I'm going to check on Haru…" Yuki said, leaving Hatori to come up with an answer.
"I told you Haru has been going Black lately and I called Yuki to check on you, in case he did something to you." Hatori replied.
"I'm fine. You don't need to worry over me so much." Kira said, suspicious. It seemed odd that Hatori would go through all that trouble.
"Haru..." Yuki said, as he looked down on Haru who was lying down on his bed, eyes shut.
"…I messed up, didn't I?" Haru said, his eyes still close.
"You tell me… all I saw you two do was kiss…" Yuki replied bitterly.
"I don't remember doing anything except kissing her… everything else is such a blur."
"You better hope that you didn't say anything besides kissing her." Yuki said and left.
"I messed up. Everything, all of my chances with her… I blew it. I really am stupid…" Haru thought, staring at the ceiling.
Street:
"Kira…" Yuki began.
"Hm? Yeah?" she looked at him.
"Haru… he didn't say anything to you?" Yuki asked, precariously. She continued to walk, looking down, saying nothing.
"What do I SAY? Should I tell him what Haru said? It didn't even make sense!" Kira thought.
"Kira? Did he say anything?" Yuki pulled her out of her thoughts.
"He said… nothing. Nothing." Kira said tentatively.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes… can you not tell anyone what you saw, Yuki-chan?" Kira looked up into his eyes.
"Ok, I won't tell anyone." Yuki smiled in relief. He was glad that Haru didn't say anything. They were walking, Shigure's house in view.
"Should I have told him? What would he say? What WAS Haru talking about anyway?" Kira thought.
Shigure's House:
"Eh? Welcome back! What was the emergency?" Tohru greeted them.
"Emergency?" Kira glanced at Yuki suspiciously.
"Nothing! Everything's fine now!" Yuki quickly covered up as they all walked into the dining room.
"So how was it?" Shigure asked, practically beaming at them.
"Fine…" Kira replied, unsure.
"I know you're up to something, the way you keep looking at everyone like that." Yuki glared at Shigure.
"You're so cold…" Shigure whined and then cheerfully cried out,
"Excuse me but I must be off!" and left, drawing question marks from Tohru, Yuki, and Kira.
"I'm going to my room." Kira said and left. Yuki turned and smiled at Tohru.
"C'mon, let's go check our secret base." he said, causing Tohru to blush.
"Y-yes, let's go!"
Shigure's room:
His fingers flew as words flicker on to the screen,
"What are they talking about? Why won't they tell me?" Kyo thought, confused. Confusion continued to rule his mind these days, should he take his chance on Kira or let them grow cold as he warms up to Tohru and steal her away from the charming Prince Yuki? He closed his eyes, remembering the past. The amazing past…
"It's my fault…" Kyo murmured sadly. It was his fault for training with Kira. It was his fault breaking the bracelet. It was his fault that she saw it. She saw his truly cursed form. It was entirely his fault and yet, Kira took the blame. She took the blame for everything.
"Why must she… why does she… why?" he thought, his head fell into his hands.
"Kyo-kun?" a soft voice said. A female voice. Tohru's sweet angel-like voice…"
Shigure stopped typing and grinned as he picked up the phone to call Hatori.
"Hi Haa-san!" he smiled like a madman.
"Yes? What do you want, Shigure?"
"SO?" Shigure asked expectantly
"So what?"
"What happen between Kira and Haru?"
"Nothing but I overheard Yuki mention 'kissing'-"
"WHAT? REALLY? YAY!" Shigure interrupted, crying out in victory.
"Were you planning this all along?" Hatori accused
"Sorry, can't talk now! Bye Haa-san!" Shigure hung up quickly and went back to his story.
"Haru leaned on to Kira, he felt her heart beat faster as his lips brush her own. He then kissed her hungrily; her mouth opened slightly, letting his tongue explore inside. Kira's mind raced but she couldn't focus on a single thought and melted into the kiss, her body pressed against his as his mouth traveled down, nibbling on her neck."
"At least someone can show their love to Kira…" Shigure smiled but a memory kept tugging at him.
Flashback:
"Hi Shigure-chan! Hi Hatori-chan" a 15 year old Kira waved. Suddenly, Kyo came up behind her and kissed her on the cheek, causing her to smile as he hugged her from behind.
"My, my, Kyo has been quite naughty…" he said, grinning.
"Shigure…" Hatori warned
"Shut up!" Kyo yelled, his face turned slightly red.
"Kyo-kun is a meanie! Haa-san!" he pointed to Kyo. Kira laughed, watching Hatori roll his eyes.
"Honestly Shigure, can't you grow up?" Hatori admonished him.
"I write my own books, isn't that grown up enough?" he asked innocently
End of Flashback
"Hmm… good times…" Shigure smiled.
Kira's Room:
"He loves you so much but he had to make you forget what you saw, what he didn't want you to see, what you had…" Kira kept thinking of what Hatori said.
"Who? Who loves me so much? Forget what I saw? What did I see?" Kira sighed, exasperated, all of this was so confusing.
"Who loves me… obviously, he's not talking about himself… but who? Yuki? He likes Tohru! Kyo? I don't even know him! But Haru said 'forget'… did I forget something?" Kira tried to analyze what she heard as she drifted off to sleep.
Next week in School:
"You'd think they would stop staring after a couple of weeks…" Kira remarked as guys gawked at her. She was wearing a black spaghetti strap tank top with a leather jacket on top. Her jeans were ripped at the knees that hugged her every curve, and were matched with knee-high boots.
"You really should start wearing the uniform." Yuki told her
"But the uniform is so tacky!" she exclaimed
"You really should wear it." Kyo said, glaring at some guy who was about to come up to Kira. He quickly put his arm around her shoulders, trying to make it look casual.
"Could it be Kyo? Ow, my head!" Kira thought and rubbed her forehead.
"I think the uniform would look good on you!" Tohru said
"TACKY?" President Takei exclaimed in shock.
"Yes…" Kira looked at the president.
"My great-great-great grandfather DESIGNED these very uniforms!"
"Which makes it even MORE tacky!" Kira yelled back, aggravated. First the headache and now some geek yelling at her…
"How dare you! In this school, it's all about the education and how well students can academically reach! Not about fashion!" President Takei preached
"Exactly! Why waste money on uniforms instead of more computers or textbooks?" Kira retorted.
"… I'm LEAVING!" he cried out and left, unable to think of a reply, as his two followers scurried after him.
"Idiot…" Kira muttered as they all walked into their last class of the day and sat in their seats.
"As you all know, Valentine's Day is in a few days. Unfortunately, we do not have enough money to fund the traditional dance this year." the teacher began, Yuki standing by her side and students groaned.
"See? I told you uniforms were a waste!" Kira whispered to no one in particular but Kyo heard her and smiled.
"We will have a small festival with small booths featuring something different that has to do with Valentine's Day instead. We need volunteers for the refreshments…" Yuki said, looking around the classroom.
"Alright, Tohru-kun, Hanajima-kun and Uo-kun have volunteered. Next, we need help with the entertainment."
Kira gasped and raised her hand quickly.
"Are you sure Kira? You are new, can you handle the responsibility?" the teacher asked, looking doubtful at her.
"Of course!" Kira exclaimed. Yuki and Kyo looked at her like she was nuts.
"You idiot! You think you can handle it?" Kyo said to her.
"Yeah, what can be so hard?" she shrugged.
"Do you have any ideas for the entertainment?" Yuki asked her, looking unsure.
"Yes." was all Kira replied, vaguely and simply.
"Alright, moving on…" the teacher tried to get everyone's attention.
After school:
"Yo new girl! You're sure up to it?" Uo asked. Tohru, Hanajima, Kira and Uo were all waiting for the Sohma's.
"Yeah, no problem! God, I'm hot…" she answered, taking off her jacket.
"Hey!" Uo cried out.
"Eh?" Tohru and Kira looked at her.
"What she means is your tattoo, the one on your back." Hanajima calmly explained
"Oh! That's right! Kira is the Black Dragons!" Tohru exclaimed.
"Really? I heard they're practically the only gang where they don't beat up anybody or go around getting beaten up. But I heard there were mostly guys in it." Uo said
"Yeah, there are a lot of guys in it and practically no girls but they guys are really nice." Kira smiled
"Agh! It just slipped my mind! I know some one heads the gang, a girl, but I can't remember her name!" Uo yelled.
"Kira?" Hanajima said
"Eh?" Kira answered as Uo cried out,
"That's it!"
"What's it?" Kyo came up behind them.
"The name of the leader of the Black Dragons! Kira! That's her name!" Uo said as everyone looked at her like she was insane.
"Um… yeah… I head the gang…" Kira said quietly.
"Aren't you the only girl in that gang? Why would a bunch of guys listen to you?" Hanajima asked
"WHAT?" Kyo exclaimed
"Kyo-kun…" Tohru said
"You're the ONLY GIRL?" Kyo yelled
"Yeah… have a problem with that?" she grinned at him
"Yeah! Of course I do! What if some guy asks you out?" he shouted
"Why do you care? Jealous, Orangey?" Uo smirked.
"They only ask me out when I'm available. Let's say, for example, you ask me out and I said yes; that would make me unavailable." Kira explained.
"Fine! Are you available now?" Kyo asked.
"Maybe… are you asking me out?" Kira looked at him, grinning
"It HAS to be Kyo! Yuki would never love me like that! And Kyo is JEALOUS now!" Kira thought.
"Yes- No! I mean no!" Kyo stammered.
"Go for it Orangey! Ask her out!" Uo cheered, pushing Kyo closer to Kira.
"Would you SHUT UP?" Kyo turned to Uo.
"Ask her out! It WOULD make her unavailable!" Uo protested
"Tell everyone I'm going to Shishou's, ok?" Kira nodded to Tohru and left.
"THAT'S IT! I'm going!" Kyo began to walk off.
"Eh? Where are you going?" Tohru asked him
"Shishou's!" he yelled.
Street:
"That damn yankee…" Kyo muttered. He then saw Kira walking ahead of him.
"Eh? KIRA!" he called out. She turned around, surprised, and waited for him to catch up.
"What?" she asked him.
"Where are you going?"
"Shishou's!" she smiled.
"To train?"
"Yeah. Where are you going?"
"Shishou's, I've been training with Shishou forever." Kyo said.
"Really? I didn't know that."
"Yeah… hey, about before… on the whole available thing, are you really available?" Kyo asked, hesitantly.
"Hm? No, I'm unavailable." she replied.
"W-what?" Kyo didn't get it. He didn't want to know. Kira looked at him and her eyes widened.
"He looks so SAD! OH MY GOD! That means he DOES like me!" Kira thought and then hugged him.
"I'm kidding! You look like you were about to DIE!" she cried out.
"His heart is beating really fast…" Kira mind wandered as Kyo hugged her back.
"Do you wanna go out?" he whispered so softly into her ear. She didn't know why but she wanted to stay in Kyo's arms forever, it felt so right.
"Yeah, I would like that." she replied, pulling back from Kyo and they began to walk again.
"I can't believe I did that! I'm risking everything!" Kyo thought, panicking and yet happy too.
"Oh my God! Was this what Haru meant? What we had? Isn't that past tense? Did we know each other before?" Kira mind raced back and forth.
"Shishou?" Kyo called out.
"Shishou? Kunimitsu?" Kira yelled.
"Welcome Kyo, Kira. You're looking well." Shishou greeted them in the kitchen.
"Hi Shishou!" Kira smiled
"Where's Kunimitsu?" she asked, grinning
"He's in his office." Shishou answered and Kira ran off.
"How have you been doing Kyo?" Shishou asked.
"… I just asked her out." his muffled voice replied, his head was resting on the table.
"Eh? You asked Kira out? Good for you! I always knew you had the courage!" Shishou cheered
"What if I mess up?" Kyo mumbled.
"You weren't this nervous before."
"That was different! Before, we were friends and then we got closer!" Kyo protested
"So become friends again." Shishou answered simply.
"I already asked her out!" Kyo cried out, exasperated.
"What did Haru mean?" Kira thought as she walked slowly to Kunimitsu's office
"He loves you so much but he had to make you forget what you saw, what he didn't want you to see, what you had…" Haru's words kept ringing in her head. She thought about Kyo and suddenly something was wiped clean, like a fog moving away. Everything began to spin and then she heard something in her mind,
Voices:
"No! Don't look! DON'T LOOK!" a rough voice growled.
"Kyo? KYO?" a female voice screamed.
"Look at what you have done! This curse! It's all your fault! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" violently mad voice raged, accusing her and then she heard a punch and a slap.
Kira gasped, "My fault? What the? Kyo? I'm so confused!"
"Kira?" Kunimitsu said from behind her.
"Eh?"
"You okay? What happen to your face?" Kunimitsu looked at her with concern.
"She looks so pale!" Kunimitsu thought
"My face?" Kira ran off, back to the kitchen, followed by Kunimitsu behind her.
"My face! What's wrong with it?" she cried out.
"It hurts! My head hurts! My cheek hurts…" Kira thought
"Eh? What happen Kira?" Shishou looked at her.
"What the HELL happened?" Kyo yelled and glared at Kunimitsu.
"I swear I didn't do it!" Kunimitsu said quickly. Kira pulled open a draw and grabbed a mirror from it. She saw a large slash across her forehead and a bruise on her cheek. She touched the cut, revealing blood on her hands, causing her to exclaim,
"It's REAL!"
"Of course it is!" Kyo said annoyed and grabbed her.
"Let's go home and call Hatori!" he said, dragging her out of the house.
"See you later Shishou! Kunimitsu!" Kira yelled
"See you!" Shishou waved.
"Well? Do you know how you got that?" Kyo pointed to her face.
"No… I just zoned out in the hallway!" Kira told him, raking her hair back. They arrived to Shigure's house and went in.
"Hi Shigure! Hi Hatori! What are you doing here?" Kira greeted, forgetting about her face.
"What happen to you Kira?" Shigure exclaimed.
"Some ghost attacked her." Kyo poured himself a cup of tea.
"Are you sure?" Hatori asked Kyo.
"I don't know! She said that she zoned out in hallway and woke up with that." Kyo waved his hand at Kira.
"Really? What happen when you zoned out?" Hatori asked Kira
"What do you mean?"
"Did you hear voices in your head? Did you see something that felt like you were there but you know you weren't?" Hatori explained
"HE KNOWS! HATORI KNOWS SOMETHING!" Kira mind screamed
"…No… I'm going to clean the blood off." Kira got up and walked out.
"She zoned out, she didn't go insane!" Kyo said
"I know but maybe this is one way of her memory coming back. That cut across her forehead and that bruise, it looks similar to what Akito did to her."
"Her memory is coming BACK?" Kyo shrieked.
"Oh dear… " Shigure exclaimed
"This is all my fault!" Kyo's mind screamed.
"Oh no…" Kyo groaned, his head in his hands.
"Oh! Kyo-kun did something!" Shigure gasped.
"SHUT UP!" Kyo yelled and stomped out.
"You really can't stay quiet, can you?" Hatori shook his head.
"Eh?" Shigure looked at him innocently and confused.
"Never mind…" Hatori sighed.
Kira's Room:
"My fault… it's all my fault…I did something bad, really bad. It's all my fault…" Kira thought as she lied on her bed, eyes shut.
"What did I do wrong?" Kira asked herself as Haru's voice rang in her head.
"He loves you so much but he had to make you forget what you saw, what he didn't want you to see, what you had…"
"Forget what I saw… forget what I had… I bet Akito knows!" Kira thought and she quietly ran down the stairs and out the door.
