Chapter 8
I grinned and ran after him downstairs. When I reached the bottom step I was lifted up and spun around in circles. I got dizzy after a bit and held on tight to his neck trying to calm down. He put me down laughing and I had to hold on to him to make the dizziness fade but to no success, I fell to his feet. Cindy stared as Kyo picked me up and brought me to the chair.
Cindy asked Kyo "What are you doing here?" Kyo sat down and before he could answer I cut in "He broke in my window last night." Cindy gaped at him "That is so wrong Kyo. If you wanted to see Cass naked you could have just knocked. But then again she wouldn't let you in. I didn't know you were that perverted." She said.
I glared at her then Kyo spoke up "I just left my clothes here and the lights were out so I figured it'd be okay to come in her window." He yelled. Cindy shrugged and looked at me "Well I'll see you after work I'm meeting Momiji for lunch so I'll see ya." She said clearing her bowl. I hugged her bye and fixed some breakfast.
Kyo got a bowl and fixed cereal and sat down again across from me. After a couple of bites I looked at him "Next time you decide to stay in your staying in the spare room." I said grinning. Kyo thought for a moment before answering "That's cool I guess." He finished his cereal and washed the bowl. "I should call home I probably scared Tohru to death." He said.
"Who's Tohru, your girlfriend?" I asked. He picked up the phone "No. She's Yuki's. She is supposedly our house keeper." He started talking to someone on the phone then yelled "I'm not like you pervert." Then hung up. "Who was that?" I asked. "Shigure, my older cousin." "Oh." I said. I washed my dish and went to the stairs.
"Hey do you ah…mind going with me to my place so I don't get questioned." Kyo asked coming up behind me. "Um okay just give me a minute. Oh and you might want to get your own clothes on so Shigure won't think the wrong way." I said going into my room. "Yeah." He said grabbing his clothes and going into the next bedroom.
I went through my dresser and found a pair of black ragged old short shorts that had a small hole in the back pocket and a baby blue thin tank. I threw them on and grabbed a pair of flip-flops then pulled my hair up in a clip. I put on a black heart necklace and I went downstairs. Kyo saw me come downstairs and started staring again. I took his hand and grabbed my car keys.
We got in the car and Kyo said "You look good Cass." I shrugged. "Thanks. Which way?" I asked. He pointed and I pulled in 20 minutes later. I got out and gazed in amazement at the house. He got out and headed to the door. "I love this house Kyo it's amazing." I said running up behind him. He shrugged and walked in the house not making any noise.
"Hello anyone home." I yelled. Kyo elbowed me in the side and put his finger to his mouth. Too late, a girl that looked around my age came running in. "Kyo-kun where were you? Are you okay?" she said rather panicky. "I'm fine Tohru." He said putting his hand up to stop her worrying. All of a sudden a boy with silver hair and purple eyes walked in the room. "Is everything okay Tohru?" He asked then stopped as he saw Kyo "Oh your back." I moved from behind Kyo who was blocking me from everyone's sight.
"Hey everyone! Nice to meet you. The name's Cassidy." I said holding out my hand. The two I expect to be Yuki and Tohru just looked at it. "Oh um I guess not everyone here knows the American greeting." I said this time I bowed slightly to them. Tohru immediately bowed back and said "Very nice to meet you Cassidy." She smiled and quickly added "Oh I forgot the tea excuse me." Yuki then bowed to me "Pleasure to meet you Miss. Cassidy."
An older man came in view who looked to be in his 20's. He spotted me and Kyo and ran over "Oh Kyo where have you been..." He looked at me "Maybe deflowering this beautiful young lady." He smirked. Before Kyo could even get a fist formed I put my hand over his arm to stop him "From the sounds of it you must be Shigure. Nice to meet you, though I don't think your comment to be true. My question is if you were dropped on your head as a baby." I held out my hand and he took it laughing.
"It is true I am Shigure. So you're from America I heard." He said. "Yes sir I am. Me and my friend moved out here 2 months ago. Beautiful place too." I said with a smile. Shigure looked at Kyo "Kyo be a dear and go say hi to Haru he wants to fight again." He said then left. I looked at Kyo who looked like he wanted to kill someone. "Hey you okay Kyo you look like your about to murder someone." I said. "Yeah well for what Shigure said yeah I want to murder him." He said heading towards the stairs. I followed him.
"To be honest I like them. Shigure looks like he can be very perverted and serious. Let me guess he is a novelist and Yuki is popular and Tohru worries and works too hard and hides her feeling and emotions away within her." I said. Kyo froze and I ran into the back of him. He turned around "How do you know that?" He asked. I told him "Oh that's easy, I see right through people's emotions and can read them like a book. I can tell everything they've been though just be looking at them."
"Makes people who know that feel vulnerable." He said. "Good it's scary what I can do." I replied. We walked into his room and I saw a white haired guy sitting on the bed. "Yo Kyo who's she?" He asked pointing at me. I walked up and held out my hand yet again "The name's Cassidy. Nice to meet you." I said shaking his hand. "You too. My name is Hatsaharu."
He got up "Kyo I came for a fight so lets do it." He said. "If you guys are gunna fight go out side." Said Shigure. Kyo walked downstairs and outside with me and Haru following. Once we were out side Kyo said "I'm not fighting you idiot when Cass is here." He said. They started arguing so I sat on the porch. I heard Haru yell "If you don't fight me scaredy-cat then I'll just keep your precious Cassidy company." He threatened. I smirked. I walked up to Kyo "He has two sides a dark and a white, that's interesting." I turned to Haru "Don't you dare touch me Black Haru." I said in a low tone. Kyo pushed me back down on the step as Haru charged at him.
A couple minutes of them punching and throwing kicks at each other Yuki came and sat down beside me. "You might get bored in a bit these two do this almost every week." He said. I smiled at him "I can keep myself entertained like I said to Kyo I can learn more about everyone by just looking at them. I can tell every thing from just that." I said.
"Just by looking at people?" He asked. "Yup." I said. He looked at me disbelieving "I don't believe you." "Well I know almost everything about Kyo and just in two days. Even though he told me about his life growing up. His Master is very proud to call him his son. I met him last night and I could tell. If you still don't believe me I bet I can tell about you." I said.
He nodded and I looked at his eyes for a moment. "You've suffered so much in the past Yuki mentally and physically. You never really smiled in your life. The head of your family wasn't much help either. Tohru made you learn how to smile again and love. I envy her." I stated as a tear slid down my eye.
Yuki sat there in a state of shock "Well I don't think I'll doubt you again. You're right Tohru is very special to me because of that. You have a gift Miss. Cassidy keep it." He said then left me to my tears. Kyo kicked Haru when he saw what happened and Haru fell to the ground. In a moment he was at my side. "Cass what's wrong? Did that damn Yuki do anything to you?"
I shook my head and wiped only 3 tears away and grinned. "No. He just told me I'd get bored that's all then after he left I thought about what I saw in him. It was painful that's all." I said. "Cass you shouldn't think about that to much okay. C'mon let's go I'm sure you need to get to work by now." I nodded as he helped me up.
"Hey Kyo you think your Master could train me?" I asked before we went inside. "Are you flexible?" he asked I nodded and he pointed towards yard where Haru was walking this way. I walked out and made a bridge and some other gymnast moves. He nodded thinking 'Oh god she's making it hard for me not to kiss her.'
I ran back to him and said goodbye to everyone before leaving for work. I got into the car when Kyo ran up "Where do you work?" he asked. I told him I helped at the Arts center. He nodded and waved as I left. I got back to the house and grabbed my Art supplies.
Momiji took Cindy to see a movie then they left to a photo booth nearby. "Look at this one Cindy." Said Momiji as he held out his strip too the one where they stuck their tongues at the camera. Cindy nodded and looked at her watch. "Crap I'm gunna be late. Sorry Momiji I got to go to work see ya." Momiji took her hand and left a kiss on her knuckles. "Alright I'll see ya later then." She blushed then she ran to her job at the Café.
Cassidy got home around 8 and fixed a quick dinner and waited for Cindy. Cindy finally arrived back at 10 when the phone rang. I got up and answered it "Hello... Chris are you serious...Really we can't wait…Alright see you then bye." Cindy sat next to me and I told her what Chris told me. "That's so awesome. She'll be our neighbor and her brothers are coming too this is gunna be the best year." She said.
Chris arrives in two days so we've got that much time to get together a welcome party for her and her brothers. We left to bed beat. The next day Momiji stopped by. He opened the door and knocked Cindy off the latter. Good thing he was there to catch her. "You alright? What are you guys doing? Having a party?" He asked putting Cindy down when she nodded.
"Our friend Chris is moving in next door with her brothers." I said throwing the streamer over the fan. Momiji helped out with the things we couldn't do. Around 3 a knock came at the door and Momiji answered it "Hi Kyo we could use you help." He said pulling Kyo inside.
"With wha--?" he was about to ask when he saw the decorations and Cindy hanging up balloons. "Are you guys having a party?" he asked. I yelled from the kitchen "Yes. Can um I get some help in here? Cindy?" Cindy was busy on the latter pinning the balloons up "Kyo can you help her while me and Momiji pin these up?" She asked. He nodded and headed to the kitchen.
