He stopped; he knew the limits anyway which was nice. "You win that round." I said. My turn. I did the same but he didn't budge when I reached near his area. I took my hand away before I went to far and he won. "You win." I said. He grinned and looked at the clock.
"I think we should turn in, it's almost 11." He said. I nodded and he kissed my forehead and went to his room thinking 'Cold shower, cold shower, cold shower.' I turned over and went to sleep. Tonight I had a good dream disrupted by Jon.
We were at prom and Kyo left to go to the bathroom when someone pulled me outside and down the street. Jon turned me to face him and I screamed. He only laughed and kept saying that no one will hear me scream. When he was about to rape me, I woke up.
I looked at my clock and it said 4am, that's nice. I couldn't go back to sleep so I walked out of my room to go to the shower but I was still to freaked to be alone and away from someone. I went into Kyo's room to find him lying in bed awake. "Why are you up so early?" I asked. He didn't look at me but closed his eyes instead.
I walked over to his bedside and looked down at him. He seemed peaceful and in deep thought. I leaned over and kissed his eye lids, nose then on his lips. Before I knew it he had me laying on top of him. "Have I ever told you how I love how you get my attention?" he asked. "No, in fact you've never told me that." I replied.
He kissed me and then we were lost in a world of our own. When his alarm went off at 5:30 he was on top of me and groaned "Please tell me that alarm says 5 and not the time I need to be up." He pleaded. I giggled and he moved off me. "What were you thinking about earlier?" I asked.
"Mm nothing really just that prom is coming and then after that graduation, but after that…I don't know." He said. "Well I'm going to college hopefully if I get in. Haven't you put any thought into after high school?" "Because, before last year…my future was planned. Akito was going to lock me away in a dark room separated from the rest of the world." he answered.
"Oh well why don't you do something you love, like teach martial arts. I'm still deciding if I want to do college. If I choose not to and my paintings sell then I'll be set." I said. He smiled and went to shower. We got dressed after I showered we left for a busy day at school.
We got to school right when it started to drizzle. My straightener proved to be no help. "I didn't know your hair was curly." Kyo said as we got to the lockers. I looked in the mirror and saw my hair, it was indeed curly from the rain. At least it wasn't everywhere. Kyo kissed my cheek and went ahead to class.
The last class was finally here which a relief was because it was my favorite subject. I sat at our table and got out my books. In seconds the fan club girls surrounded me. "Why do you even bother with Kyo? He is way better than you. You don't even deserve him." The leader said.
I shrugged and said "Well when people are in love they stay together all the time then after a while the girl gets a special ring. From the looks of it and all I say he has a good reason to give me a ring. Believe me I don't believe it myself but anyway why are you still trying when he has chosen?" They stared then looked at my ring. The leader scoffed and walked away followed by the rest of them.
Kyo still hadn't shown up and didn't for the rest of class. Little did I know but he was being held up. "Move aside now." Kyo yelled to a group of older guys. "Ha! No way kid you're not going anywhere right now." One of them said then kicked Kyo to the ground. He jumped up and punched one of them in the gut while another aimed for his jaw. Direct hit.
Kyo ran up and pounded the biggest to the ground then turned to kick the others. Down they went. He looked at his watch and saw class was done. He ran to the Biology lab. Class ended and he never showed up. As I was getting ready to leave class, all my books fell to the floor.
When I started picking them up someone helped me. I looked up to see the devil himself, Jon. I went rigid and slid myself back towards the desk. He laughed and moved forward. "Stay away from me." I said firmly. He only chuckled more and touched my face "Why would I do that my dear girl? I love touching you." He said. I slapped his hand away "Leave me alone Jon. I want nothing to do with you."
I could see he was getting angry and I didn't want a repeat of last time. "You will have something to do with me girl, like it or not." He said pinning my hands to the desk. I struggled and struggled but he held tight. For some reason he had me physically paralyzed, I couldn't do anything. Some use of training; if I can't use it then what was it for?
Since no one was in class he couldn't get caught. I started to cry. He smirked as I gave up for a moment then slid his hand up my skirt. I struggled a lot more than I did before. He slapped me and returned his hand to where it was. It moved farther and father up until I felt him lift my underwear. I kneed him as much as I could. His anger showed completely and he punched me unconscious just as Kyo ran in the room.
I don't remember anything after that. The first time I woke up Cindy was talking to me and telling me things about her day and apologizing for not being there when I needed help. After she left for work I fell asleep again. I felt dirty like really filthy and I needed to be clean and refreshed. I ran out of my room and downstairs crying and going through disgusted trauma. I kept rubbing my arms over and over trying to get the feel off.
Kyo met me at the bottom of the stairs. "Cass what's wrong?" he said frantically. I ignored him and went to the bathroom and turned on the water. He was still in my mind, Jon. He needed to get out of my head and my life. I ripped my shirt off and my shorts as Kyo came in. I was still in a frantic and didn't notice him until he grabbed me from behind.
I struggled and kept grabbing at my arms still trying to get the filth off "Cass you're okay now. What's wrong?" He said firmly. "I need to get the dirt off me. I feel dirty and sick. It needs to go away…NOW." I said frantically still struggling. The bath was now full enough and Kyo lifted me up and put me in the bathwater. He pulled off his shirt and sat on the floor next to the tub and grabbed a bar of soap and a washcloth.
I grabbed at it and started scrubbing every piece of bare skin. Kyo took it gently away and started to put the soap on my back and without removing any other garments and succeeded in getting me to feel cleaner. I didn't look at him the whole entire time so I looked at him. He was still scrubbing my back, but gently to make me feel better. I saw his chest and grabbed him so he fell in the tub.
"What was that for?" he asked. I didn't answer but took the cloth and scrubbed his chest. He had some blood stains left and a cut from the earlier fight. I was frantic trying to get it off when he grabbed my hands. I struggled against him trying to resume what I was doing but it didn't work.
"Cass look at me." He said. I didn't look. "Cassidy please look at me. I'm fine, you're fine." He said again. I finally looked at him and he smiled at me. "That's my girl. Now, lets get you dried off." He said getting out, his pants were sopping wet and he took them off to dry. Then helped me out carefully and dried me off. He picked me up and carried me to my room. He left me to get some dry pants on and came back to see I hadn't moved an inch.
"You can't stay like that, you'll catch a cold." He said coming over to me. I shook my head "I don't want to change Kyo." I told him. He sighed knowing that it wasn't a good idea to push her and got a thick blanket to wrap her in along with one of his shirts. "Hey Kyo? Thanks for um…helping me feel better. I know it was hard for you to see me like that. I'm sorry." I said after I put his shirt on.
"It's alright. I think I may know how to rid of our problem though. Please don't apologize for anything. You did nothing wrong." He said as he hugged me. I was about to say something but he put his finger to my lips. "Don't worry about it. Just rest, okay?" I nodded and laid down on my bed to sleep some more. Kyo left after I was asleep and went to the phone to call a certain devils parents while they were away in Kyoto and tell them what has been happening with their son.
After the phone call Kyo felt much better about the situation now because of what Jon's parents said they would do. He'd be going away for a while to a boarding school and college outside the city. No more trouble for Cassidy and they could move on with their lives.
It's Saturday morning and Yuki called and told Kyo that prom was now going to be on a Tuesday. How weird is that? Cassidy was still sleeping so Kyo made her breakfast and took it to her. When he reached her room she had all the sheets kicked to the floor and was sprawled out on the bed. He shook his head and put the tray down.
I woke up when I heard something tap on the table and then someone's weight on the bed. I turned my head over to see him. "I am so embarrassed right now." I said. "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I brought you breakfast." I smiled and got up and walked to the table. I remembered I was wearing Kyo's shirt but I didn't care right then.
After I ate I acted as if nothing happened the day before and spent the whole day in my special room. I only came out to go to the bathroom. Around 9pm is when I finally came out. "What have you been working on Cass?" Kyo asked coming around the corner. "Nothing." I said and went upstairs.
Kyo stared after me then followed me into my room. "I know you're working on something Cass. Otherwise you wouldn't have stayed in there all day." He said. I shrugged and got out a box I found from my closet. "Okay I was doing something to get the past days out of my head so I did but I made them somehow different than you would think." I said opening the box. I pulled out a grey silk nightgown that was trimmed with lace and went to my mid-thigh. "What do you mean by that?" he asked.
"I mean after the crap I've had lately you would think that it would look evil and cruel but it doesn't. I made the cruelty into beauty." I said turning around to show him the garment. "Where did that come from?" he asked feeling the soft fabric. "Cindy got it for me apparently." I said smiling. He took it and examined it. "Are you going to wear it?" "Duh Kyo. I'm not going to not wear it. I like it even if it doesn't have shorts to match."
"if it matters…I sure like it." He said with a grin. I smacked him in the arm and went to change. I came back with my robe on. "Don't I get to see what it looks like?" he asked. I shrugged. I didn't really know if I was sure of anything at the moment. "Maybe." I said.
He didn't say anything and walked up behind me and encircled my waist. I relaxed into him as he said "I love you Cass, you know that right? What happened to my jean wearing no dress allowed girl? The girl who is open to everyone and talks a lot?" I turned to face him and hugged him back.
"She is still here Kyo. She hasn't left. She just wants to do something outrageous and stupid. If you want me to change then I will but you'll have to deal with Cindy's wrath." I laughed. "So you're sure your okay?" I nodded still laughing "Yes Kyo I am. It's just a different side of me you have just witnessed. Still want me to change?"
"I'm learning more and more about you and I don't care if you do or not you look good in anything. So you're just going through a small phase?" he said. "Yup it will be over by tomorrow then I'm back to my paint-splattered clothes." I smiled taking my robe off. "Good I miss you that way…." He trailed off as I removed my robe completely. The nightgown was indeed for summer because of the spaghetti straps that were also made of lace.
"Or you can wear that every night." I laughed at that comment and decided to have a little fun. "I don't think I will. I think I'll just go back to my old stuff instead." He shook his head and dove at me. I fell back as he fell on top of me with kiss after kiss. I laughed and pushed him off. "Okay then Kyo if I wear this you need to restrain yourself a little." I said. He sighed "Sorry but I couldn't help myself. "
I got up to retrieve my new laptop mom and dad sent me and returned to lay on the bed. Kyo and I laid on our stomachs and I turned the computer on. I got a lot of emails from Yuki and IM's so I signed onto my screen name and went over the problems with him. Then I went to my Myspace. "I didn't know you had a Myspace." Kyo said.
"I do and I've had it for years." I showed him all my pictures of us and my friends. He ended up making one by the end of the night. He made me take a bunch of pictures with him to put up there. His default was a picture of him hugging me from behind and kissing me. I liked it and he must too because he took his phone out and took a picture of it off the computer.
"Why don't we get pictures of you during martial arts lessons tomorrow?" I suggested. He shrugged and my cell rang. It was Aya, Chris' brother. "Hey Cass do you mind if you baby sit Ruri tonight?" "Why do I need to?" "Because I want to get rid of him." I heard Chris yelling in the background "Over my dead body Aya! Don't I have a say in this?" he ignored her. "Sure why not?" I said in a sigh. "Thank you God. Chris will bring him over." "Fine." He heard Kyo beside me say "What?" and was going to make a smart comment but I hung up on him.
The doorbell rang like 2 minutes later and I walked downstairs with Kyo on my tail. I opened the door to see everyone. Aya looked at me then at Kyo and winked at me. I punched him in the gut and he laughed "Damn Kyo you got some girl. She's tough and sexy." I grabbed Chris and Ruri and dragged them to the living room. Kyo stayed to talk to Aya. "You have to admit Kyo she is something different." He said still rubbing the newly found bruise on his stomach.
"Yeah she is. But if you call her sexy again I think you may be put in the hospital." He laughed. Aya agreed as I came back to the door. "Chris is staying too Aya so bye." "Awe can't I stay too so I can view you in your everyday scene." I then slammed the door in his face. I heard him holler "Okay then, another time. Bye." I laughed and mumbled "Yeah right idiot."
Chris came over "Where's Cindy?" "I don't really know I think she is with Momiji." Chris shrugged and asked "Okay so I guess me and Ruri will sleep in Cindy's room then." I shrugged and bent down "Would you like some ice cream Ruri?" I asked. He nodded and took my hand as we walked into the kitchen.
After Ruri ate his dessert Chris took him upstairs to Cindy's room. Chris got ready to go to sleep and fell asleep before Ruri. I was throwing pillows off my bed when Ruri popped his head in my room. "Cassy can I stay with you?" he asked. I nodded and motioned him over. He jumped in bed beside me and I turned out the light as Ruri hugged me tight.
Kyo walked by the room to see Cassidy telling Ruri a story. ' Man she is great with kids.' He thought turning in. In the morning Kyo was as always the first to wake and checked on Cass. She was hugging Ruri as he slept peacefully beside her. After he returned from his run he found Ruri was in the kitchen with a bowl of cereal and giggling. Then he found the source of his laughing and found Chris and Cass shooting Cheerios at each other. Chris was already dressed but Cass wasn't she had her robe on.
"Ya'll seem to be having fun." He said. We laughed at him. "Cassy can we go to the park today?" Ruri asked. I looked at Chris. "I don't care. I have to be at the school for some meeting thing so that's fine with me. I should be back within the hour." I nodded and said bye to her as she went to the school.
After she gave a choking hug to her little brother she left for the school. I looked at Kyo with a sly look and then turned to Ruri. "Hey Ruri we'll go to the park in a little bit. I have to get dressed first so why don't you watch some TV?" He nodded and ran to the living room.
I took Kyo's hand and we went upstairs. Once we were in my room he sat on my bed. "Do you want to go to the park with us or do you want to hang here for the day?" I asked going through my cloths, trying to find something half way descent. "Sure I'll go with you. It can be another date." He said.
I collapsed on my back next to him. "Can't find something?" he asked. "Yeah I can't find anything that's not paint splattered. I need to go clothes shopping with Arisa and Hana sometime soon." He got up and went to my closet. "What are you doing?" "Looking for something for you to wear." I ran over to him as he gave me a orange and grey short skirt that went down a little past my mid-thigh and a green T. "I'll wear the skirt but not by itself or with that shirt."
"What's wrong with the shirt?" "It's green." I said and found a grey T and grey stockings with little orange pom-poms. "Green doesn't match the skirt." "Okay I'll leave you to finding your own stuff from now on." He said walking out of the room so I could change. I came out 10 minutes later. "Girls sure do take a long time to get ready." Kyo complained. I smacked his chest. "Well I'm sorry I wasted ten minutes of your time to get dressed." I retorted.
"Sorry Cass I didn't mean it like that." He said. "I know but I just wanted to say it anyway." I laughed. He saw what I was wearing and noted that I had orange flats on and a black bead necklace to top off what I decided on wearing. I packed us a small picnic and told Kyo to go get Ruri. He came out with Ruri on his shoulders. Ruri was laughing of course. Kyo kissed my head and we walked down the sidewalk towards town. "Hey little dude you're getting heavy." Kyo said putting Ruri on the ground. He ran in front of us as Kyo put his arm around my shoulders.
When we got to the park Ruri ran to the swings. Kyo and I sat on the grass under a tree and watched him for a bit. "You know you are soo good with kids Cass." He said laying his head on my lap. "So are you Mr. Softie." I said with a giggle. Someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was an older woman about in her 50's maybe. "My, my you two have an adorable son." She said. Kyo looked towards her and sat up. "He's not our son ma'am. He is my friends little brother. We're just baby-sitting him." I said.
