Hallo pepo I'm back! How are you all? I'm really sorry for the late update, I just started A levels few months ago and had been busy with it. ;)
2 weeks ago I fell and hit my head hard in the bathroom. Went to the hospital and the doctor said I had haematoma. But it was nothing to worry about so I'm fine. :D
Haha what am I doing I should get started! Enjoy! :D
AN: GG no own Furuba.
"Kyon, are you all right? What happened back there?"
"How are you feeling Sohma? Okay now?"
"I'm glad you're fine now Kyo. You gave us a heart attack that time."
"Oi, make sure something like that will not happen again, carrot top. If you make Tohru worry too much then I'll seriously kill you!"
Kyo sighed. It had been two days since it happened. He was given a day off from school. Ever since he stepped into his class that morning he had been bombarded with questions, especially from his classmates. How was he supposed to answer all questions at once? 'Hey, I'm fine. Thanks for worrying.' That? Nah, that's so not him if he were to response like that.
"Kyo-kun, are you sure you're fine? You still look very pale." Kyo turned his head. That was Tohru asking him. At least he could answer her question.
"Yeah, I am. No need to worry–" Kyo turned his head to the chalkboard in front of him, "–and don't give me that worried look. God damn it you look so dumb like that."
"Y-yes!" Tohru smiled instantly, although forced.
"Who are you to call Tohru dumb, huh?!" Uo had the scary 'Yankee' look, gripped fistful of Kyo's front collar so that they were face to face only few inches apart.
Kyo closed his eyes and let out a breath. He felt a headache coming on. This was going to be a long day.

"Since x equals to two, just substitute it to the first equation…"
Kyo rested his elbow on the desk and his chin in his palm. His fingers twirled his pencil. He was so very tired. His eyes were drooping and every time he realised that he was about to fall asleep he snapped his eyes open. He idly copied the teacher's notes in his notebook. Giving in to the tiredness, he moved his palm from his chin and brought it to his mouth as he yawned a huge yawn. Then he brought his hand to his eyes, closing them. He could feel his head lolling to the side – he brought his head straight up as soon as he felt it – but didn't fall off his chair because of the elbow supporting him. He wondered briefly why he felt so tired – he slept early the night before – and considered it unusual. He brushed off the thought as his tiredness overtook him.
He opened his eyes and his vision blurred. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and tried to focus at what was going on only to realise that he was still in his Maths class. This Maths class of his seemed like taking thousands of years to him. He plopped his arm on his desk and leaned back, looking up. He leaned forward with a heavy sigh and glanced at Hanajima only to see her staring off into space and not writing down anything in her notebook. He turned his gaze to the board and then there it was again.
The same skinny, white, mysterious, disgusting and creepy person that he saw behind Tohru's shoulder the other day was in the corner of the classroom, near to the sliding door. For the moment, it wasn't looking at him but at his teacher instead. And at that same moment he discovered that it was a female. Her clothes had lots of wrinkles and her hair tousled.
She seemed to feel his eyes on her as she turned her head to Kyo slowly. When she saw him, she smiled – the same smile she had back then – and cocked her head to the side slowly. For a minute or two she just stared at him before she approached him. Kyo felt chills ran down his spine, he could hear his heart thumping loudly in his ears and sweat started to form in his forehead. He freaked out when he saw her and when she approached him he was even more freaked out. He looked around the classroom in search for help; his classmates and teacher did not seem to see the creepy woman.
His breath became harsher and heavier with step…no. Her feet weren't even touching the ground.
The woman came closer and closer – it was the smile that bothered him. But at the same time, she wasn't coming closer. He knew it was approaching him – definitely – but it was as if the time had been set off and there was a repeat button. Nonetheless he felt disgusted.
Or was it just him moving further away as the woman approached him?
The world tilted to the side and he grabbed the edge of the table to keep himself from falling over. He was looking down when it happened, and when he glanced at his classmate – the same classmate that tried to wake him the other day, but not as if he knew it was him – he was having this weird expression on his face when he looked at Kyo's beside him.
Kyo gave a harsh hiss to his classmate and his classmate turned his head away quickly to the board. If Kyo wasn't mistaken he saw the fear radiating off of his coward classmate. He felt kind of bad but brushed the thought of it and took it that his classmate was fine.
"Go away you!" he mouthed to the woman although no voice coming out.
"Kyo Sohma." Kyo snapped his head to the front at the sound of Miura-sensei's call.
"Are you feeling all right?"
"Y-yess.." Kyo Sohma never stuttered.
"Hmmmm…I've already informed Mayuko-sensei about this thanks to Fukuyama-san and I want you to go the nurse's office." Miura-sensei said slowly as he repeatedly tapped his lips. "Now." He continued but with a demanding tone, sensing that his redhead student was about to protest.
Kyo stood up and left the room and he made a quick glance at his rival, seeing that even Yuki had the same expression as everyone else in his classroom including his teacher. He actually knew it. He knew what was on their mind currently; he was known for his notorious behaviour. But he was being weird and quiet now. Oh how he knew he had been acting strange lately. But he couldn't do anything. For now.
A loud bang snapped him out of his stupor. He had walked to the nurse's office while day dreaming, and when he reached there he hit his head. He slid the door open and took a seat to the nearest chair available. The nurse was nowhere to be seen. His eyelids grew heavy and this time he fully allowed himself to sleep.
Kyo didn't know how long he slept in the nurse's office when he woke up at the touch of her delicate finger on his shoulder.
"I've already called Shigure-san to pick you up. He's on his way now." She said while smiling and with her eyes closed.
Damn, Kyo thought.
§
"How are you feeling?"
"Great I guess."
"Good then."
Earlier in the morning, Shigure got a call from the nurse that Kyo seemed very sick and pale and after hearing that, he rushed to Kaibara High to see his younger cousin with a slight pounding in his heart. Kyo did seem very sick though; his face, eyes and lips were really pale. To Shigure he looked like a ghost. He will have to remind himself to inform Hatori about this.
Kyo paused his walking, had one of his leg on air and pulled it for him to balance while standing and had his head bowed down. He felt it. The presence of the woman. The same woman that bothered him since yesterday. Kyo slowly turned his head around and he did not see the woman behind him – he certainly felt the woman was somewhere nearby – and looked up with his orange eyes slowly, his head following. The sight of the creepy woman behind him and quite high scared him out. He was starting to wonder if he had become a cowardly cat while his heart was pounding loudly in his ears. If that was true then it will be a shame to him especially the damn rat. Kyo frowned slightly.
The woman above was still smiling as ever – like as if her mouth was stuck to smiling – and looking down at him with her huge, round eyes. Her hair was moving freely that it looked like she was in space where there was no gravity. Her visible hands and fingernails were had some black fine lines along it and to Kyo those black fine lines looked like her veins – her fingernails were long, but not sharp. Her white dress was tousled and covered her legs fully; if she really had legs.
"Why are you following me?" Kyo forced himself to speak to the ghost albeit his voice was shaking. The ghost did not answer.
"Kyo? Who are you talking to?"
"Huh? O-oh, nothing." Kyo had forgotten that Shigure was there.
Shigure decided to drop the subject not wanting to have an argument with his kitty. He just didn't have the mood for now not like how he used to. But he was greatly worried and crept out. Kyo was speaking to someone...or something and he hadn't been able to see the 'someone'. But Shigure had felt the weird presence of someone following them due to his sixth sense and Kyo had talked directly to it.
§
"Shigure." Kyo peeked through his guardian's sliding door.
"Ah, yes Kyo?" Shigure stepped out of his stupor.
"I want to go back to school, it's so boring here." Kyo said monotonously.
"No Kyo-" Shigure paused, "no," he continued.
"Why not?" Kyo tried to persuade Shigure.
"Just no. Get some sleep. It's still early for you to do so."
Shigure was surprised when Kyo walked off going upstairs. But what had surprised him more was Kyo's obedience towards him and without saying anything in return. It worried him which was unusual. Shigure did not worry easily; that's what everyone in the Sohma family knew. So why? The presence of someone was still there and he knew it staright away that it – whatever it is – had followed them home and its' target was Kyo. Perhaps that was why.
Kyo dropped into his bed his face on his pillow for a few seconds. He turned his body so that his back would be on the surface of the bed. He closed his eyes and let out a sigh. When he opened his eyes again – though slowly – the same woman was standing – more like floating – in the corner of his room.
"Just what is that you want?" Kyo demanded, his eyes growing heavy.
The woman lifted her arm up to a degree and pointed at…something with her blackish fingernails. "Huh?" Kyo alarmed and turned his head to what the woman was pointing at but his vision grew blurry and unsteady, and his head became lightheaded. Kyo turned his gaze away.
"Kyo, Kyo, Kyo! It's me!" said a voice in a harsh whisper.
"Kyooo!" said another.
"Aaaaahh! Help me please!"
"I'll never forgive you!"
"Kitty Kyo, Kitty Kyo..,"
"Come here Kyo…"
Kyo was hearing voices. He knew it. What he didn't know was whose voices were they and where they came from. He wondered if he had mental issues now. I really am going insane, he thought weakly. The voices grew louder and louder and even more sinister filled with such malice. Kyo closed his ears tightly but fruitlessly; trying to evade away all the voices. He shut his eyes tightly and beads of sweat had formed in his forehead. He was growing even dizzier with each second.
He didn't remember it though, when he fell unconscious or fell onto the ground, when Shigure burst into his room and approached him and shaking him while saying something, when Shigure carried him like a princess and brought him downstairs, getting a car ride with someone with a white coat driving. Perhaps it all happened.
He just didn't remember.
I was sleepy when I wrote this. So I'm sorry if there were typos up there. :D review pleaaase, it'll definitely motivate me to write more! And tell me what you think! :)
Oh, one more thing: I'm sorry if there were grammar mistakes or spelling errors or perhaps just any other errors haha! English is not my native language.
