Simple Words: Chapter 4- Worried

Tohru POV

The bell rang and school was over. I was to meet Kyo at the front of the school. I walked over there, looking for orange colored hair. I found it in less than a minute. Thank god for Kyo to have a different hair color from everyone else's! I walked over to him and tapped him gently on the shoulder. He twitched and turned around.

"Oh, it's just you." He said. "Are you ready to go?"

I gave him a smile and nodded my head. The walk back home was quiet. Yuki was at a student council meeting, so it was just me and Kyo. Minutes passed and yet he didn't talk to me. He looked deep in thought and got startled when I asked him a question. "Kyo, is something bothering you today?"

He smiled back at me and just shaked his head. But I knew that he was lying and I'd find out soon what's bothering him. The rooftop of our home appeared around the corner and we walked all the way back home in silence.

Kyo POV

The bell rang and school was over. I walked over to the front to meet Tohru. As I waited for her, I wondered what I would tell her. "Hey Tohru, I read your diary… " I thought in my head. No, that wasn't right. She'll get mad at me and would run away or something. No, she wouldn't do that. I'm over exaggerating! All of a sudden, I felt a light tap and turned around. It was Tohru.

"Oh, it's just you." I said. "Are you ready to go?" I asked her.

She smiled back at me and nodded her head. The walk home was silent. Usually it would be filled with conversation. But it was different. No conversation was brought up on our way home. I was deep in thought when Tohru asked me something.

"Kyo, is there something wrong today?" She asked me. Her face was worried and filled with concern. Crap! She can read right through me! I smiled back at her and shaked my head. "Oh great," I thought. "Now she'll really know something is bothering me!"

Damn it Kyo! Don't seem so tense or else she'll think that something's up! The rooftop of our home appeared as we went around the corner and walked silently all the way back there.


Tohru POV

We arrived home and I removed my shoes.

"Shigure, we're home!" I yelled.

Kyo walked straight up to the roof, which was his "get- away place." Now, I was really worried. Kyo usually went up there when something's wrong. I knew what I was going to do and that was to talk to him after dinner.

Kyo POV

When we arrived home, I removed my shoes and went to the roof. Tohru yelled to Shigure that we were home. When I got there, I gazed out into the surroundings. You could see the ocean from here far in the distance. The newly blossomed red and yellow flowers from the trees added even more beauty to the place. He felt relaxed and went to sleep.


Tohru POV

"Dinner's ready!" I called out. Tonight, I made grilled Saba and rice balls for everyone. Shigure, Kyo and Yuki came down the stairs.

"Ms. Honda, the dinner you made smells fantastic!" Said Yuki.

"Ahh, my sweet flower!" said Shigure. "How I love your sweet home cooking!"

Kyo said nothing and just sat down across from Yuki. He took Saba and began to eat.

"You stupid cat, aren't you going to tell Ms. Honda about her wonderful cooking before eating? You really are dumb and selfish, huh?"

Usually Kyo would argue back, but he didn't say anything and just looked down and continued eating. This really worried me and I looked up at Shigure and Yuki. They too had worries expressions and noticed the change in Kyo.

Yuki POV

"Dinner's ready!" I hear Ms. Honda say.

I walked down the stairs and entered the kitchen. The smell of grilled Saba filled my nostrils and made me hungry.

"Ms. Honda, the dinner you made smells fantastic!" I said. Shigure cam behind me and acted the usual.

"Ahh, my sweet flower!" He said. "How I love your sweet home cooking!" I wanted to just hit him on the head for that. Calling Honda- san like she's a maid. Kyo came down and said nothing. He sat across from me and just ate. He was acting rather unusual and I tested his temper and asked him,
"You stupid- cat, aren't you going to tell Ms. Honda about her wonderful cooking before eating? You really are dumb and selfish, huh?"

He said nothing in return and just gave me a glance and returned to eating. Honda-san, Shigure and I exchanged worried glances. There was a change in Kyo and they noticed it too.

Shigure POV

I heard Tohru call out that dinner was ready and I went down to the kitchen. As I approached, the lovely aroma of grilled Saba filled my nose and replenished my soul.

"Ahh, my sweet flower!" I said. "How I love your sweet home cooking!"

Kyo arrived and said nothing and just sat down to eat. He sat across from Yuki and said nothing. "That's strange," I thought. "Usually, he would insult Yuki before eating dinner. Something about him definitely changed."
"You stupid- cat, aren't you going to tell Ms. Honda about her wonderful cooking before eating? You really are dumb and selfish, huh?" Yuki asked. But Kyo did nothing in reply but gave him a quick glance and returned to eating his meal.

I gave Yuki and Tohru a worried expression. They too noticed the changed in Kyo, for they had a worried expression on their face too.
