Right well … you've all met Yu-chan and Hiro-chan briefly, so let's see them all at the park … I'm sorry for what you're about to read, the twins don't know when to shut up …
Five
(KYOYA'S POV)
(AT THE PARK)
We walked into the park and I stared in disbelief. I wondered why Yuki had been leading us down deserted alley ways and abandoned buildings, it seemed it was all for a run down, abandoned park. Her two siblings, Hiro and Yu as I gathered they were called as she'd yet to call them by their full names, were quite … interesting and a bit worrying.
Multiple times now they'd been hit by Haruhi, Yuki or both for asking something or saying something. They seemed to have quite a bit of adult knowledge for 12 year olds and I must admit, I was feeling rather uncomfortable around them. I swore they had an evil, more mischievous aura around them than Hikaru and Kaoru did!
As we entered the park the twins immediately brightened up and stopped nursing their wounds to look excitedly at Yuki who merely nodded, a delicate sorrowful smile on her face. The twins hugged her and stroked her back before dashing off to an old swing set, Hikaru and Kaoru following behind as they had somehow managed to grab the boys' hands.
"I know it might not look like much and you're all probably thinking why we brought them here … but this is where they found their fairy as they call her." Yuki's voice was soft and gentle as she seemed to remember a memory and Haruhi stroked her back before walking over to a see-saw and plopping down onto it. Tamaki followed after her and sat down too, soon they were playing like small children on it.
I watched as Honey walked over and looked up at Yuki, Mori was beside him. "Neh, do you wanna play Yuki-chan?" she smiled softly and shook her head. "There's some monkey bars over there you might like though. And a climbing frame." Honey smiled and ran over to it, Mori of course followed.
Yuki just stood where she was and sighed, it sounded so sorrowful I wanted to do something about it. I don't know why, but from the first time I laid eyes on Yuki I've never wanted to see her sad, she's ill and yet tries to take the world into her own hands, I feel sorry for her but also inspired.
Tentatively I took a step towards her, she seemed to have heard me because she turned to face me. My chest went tight and it hurt to look at her sorrowful face, she seemed so upset, almost ghostly pale too. I didn't like it and needless to say I walked up to her.
"What's bothering Yuki-chan? Does the medication not work?" I gently patted her head and I saw a ghost of a smile.
"No Kyoya-senpai, it's just … being here brings back some unwanted memories."
"Do you wish to discuss it?"
She shook her head and slowly took a few steps forward before calling softly over her shoulder to me "Are you coming Kyoya-senpai?" my eyes went wide, she wanted me to go somewhere with her? Why did that make me so happy? I shook the thoughts away and walked up to her, she walked off again and I followed.
We walked over to a small track that nobody had noticed, it was well concealed amongst a small group of trees. I stared in slight confusion, she wanted to go down there? Why on earth would she want to go down to there, it leads into a dead looking wooded area! I sighed and followed regardless keeping a careful eye on Yuki.
How on earth she managed to keep upright was beyond me. High stiletto boots, ripped jeans covered in buckles that somehow managed not to get caught on anything. I was actually quite impressed that the corset top hugging tightly to her body that showed how she was an ample size seemed to keep her protected from getting cuts, her skin was spotless. I marvelled at the site … wait! WHAT! Did I just think that she was an ample amount? Why was I even looking and how come I was marvelling the site of her!
Suddenly Yuki spoke up. "Careful, it's slippery along here and you've a chance of breaking your neck if you fall." her voice was soft and sweet as she pointed to the ground. I noticed it was indeed slippery and yet she seemed perfectly fine, not even worried by the fact that she was walking along the edge of a dead drop that ended in lots of rocks at least 2 feet below. Yuki certainly was something.
We walked in silence for a good 15 minutes, I kept my eyes trained on Yuki, I was worried she'd fall and get hurt. It just came naturally I guess, Yuki was someone that managed to weasel their way into my heart and I didn't want to see her upset. She was a charming girl. I smirked as I remembered the scared faces of the other Hosts when Yuki had flipped out at those amusing twins and how motherly she had looked when scolding them, I smirked, she was charming and interesting.
A hand grabbing mine pulled me out of my thoughts and I was surprised to see a pale looking boy with blonde hair and grey eyes looking at me in wonder. I glance to my left when I heard a soft laugh, it was Yuki, a small girl with lilac hair and blue eyes was hugging her and much to my amazement the boy suddenly grinned and hugged me.
"Seija (A/N this is Japanese for Saint) is this your friend?" the boy had a delicate voice and he looked at me with wide hopeful eyes.
"Yes, this is one of the people who keep me well. Now where is your Brother?" Yuki chirruped as she walked over with the girl. They looked at each other and grinned before pointing at … me?
"Me?" my eyebrow raised. Yuki smiled softly and knelt in front of them.
"That's not who I mean, where is Koma-kun?"
"Inside!" the girl chirruped and suddenly we were being dragged down a small path and to a run down looking cottage. They pushed the door open and a boy with long red hair looked up, his green eyes went wide and suddenly he was hugging Yuki. My stomach began to get hot and I suddenly felt angry at this stranger, my anger got worse when he kissed her cheek and turned smiling to me.
"Ya mus' be one of Yuki's mates. I tak' it she nut sed were ya gwayin?" he smiled a toothy grin and led us to a gate by the side of the cottage, he pushed it open and let us past. He watched until we were out of site and I heard a small chuckle as he went back inside.
"Yuki … who were those people?" my tone was harsher than I intended it to be and she smile nervously at the ground.
"The boy was Kouki and the girl was Ai. Koma-kun took them in off the street, he watches the cemetery here and keeps them safe. I was also found by Koma-kun once and he cared for me until Ryu-nii came and took me home, he's their Brother and they called me Saint because every once in a while I bring them food, medicine and clothes."
She stopped walking and tears fell from her face to the floor, I stood in shock and reached out instinctively before pulling her into my arms and hugging her close. I don't know what possessed me to hug her, I think it was the feeling of keeping her safe … yes that must be it.
I was quite stunned when she wrapped her arms around my waist and gently sobbed into my chest for a few minutes. I stayed still, my heart was beating fast and I didn't know why but I felt happy that I had her in my arms, I think it must have been that she was cheering up that caused me to be happy. We stayed still for quite a while and then slowly she pulled back a bit and turned her head so it rested on my chest and she faced a grave on the floor, her eyes were clouded.
"Yuki … are you … alright?" I was uncertain what to say and I was also careful on what I said. I didn't want to upset her. She nodded but clung to me tighter, I must admit I enjoyed the feel of her clinging to me, it was comforting. Why? I don't know.
"Kyoya-senpai … I wanted you to come here with me because I trust you. Would it be possible for you to listen to me for a while?" I noticed she was going back to normal as her cheeks were suddenly blood red and I felt her about to pull away. I don't know what compelled me to do what I did, but I think it was something good.
"Of course Yuki-chan" I whispered as I tightened my grip around her and stared at the grave. When I'd whispered she'd shuddered, I think it was a good shudder but I can't be sure about that unfortunately. Yuki let her hands drop to her sides as she stared at the grave tears beginning to fill her eyes.
"I got lost, a long time ago and I ended up here. I was scared and then an old man walked out from behind a tree, he smiled at me and asked me what I was called, being scared I told him and he told me his. He was Old man Tamashii as the locals called him, he was the cemetery keeper and he looked after lost kids till someone came to take them home. I was scared of being alone and went with him to that cottage where Koma-kun was, he came and cleaned all of my cuts and stuff when I came in and for two months I stayed with them. Then Ryu-nii came and so did the twins, they didn't recognize me at first and thought I was a fairy because I knew their names and told them that their sister was safe. Ryu-nii recognized me but didn't say anything, I ran back to the cottage after telling them where to go and changed. When they came, they took me back but we kept going to see them and every time the twins always saw their fairy until today four years ago. We came down to see Old man Tamashii and Koma-kun met us outside with Kouki and Ai, they were all crying, Old man Tamashii had died trying to save Ai from a speeding car when she went to town with him. It was the day I was meant to go … I killed him by not going. Since then, I've never worn bright cheerful colours and I always visit the grave when I come here, sometimes I'll just sit and cry."
My eyes were wide by the end of her tale, she truly believed it to be her fault! How could she be so foolish, it wasn't her fault. I turned her face to me, she was crying really badly and she looked scared, slowly I lowered my face to hers and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. It was what Fuyumi always used to do to me when I got upset from nightmares when I was younger. Thankfully it seemed to work and she calmed down.
"Sorry Kyoya-senpai, you're the only one I trust other than Ryu-nii to tell … sorry" with that she broke down and would have fallen, I'm sure to the floor had I not been holding her. Gently I lowered our bodies to the ground and sat with Yuki curled up crying in my lap. How could such a sweet child have such a troubled mind on an incident in the past, I had no idea. We stayed there, me stroking her head and rubbing her back until she fell asleep, slowly and carefully I picked her up and began to walk back to the cottage.
A sad smile was on Koma's face when he greeted me. Silently he led me back to the park and gave a quick hug to Yuki. Turning to me he spoke in a low voice. "Yuki dun' usually tell people bou' dat, she mus' really like ya, dun' go 'urtin her will ya?" I nodded and walked into the park, people looked up and the twins shouted out for us to all go back to Haruhi's.
I nodded and walked over to them, their faces fell when they saw their sister. Yu tugged on my jeans and looked at me all tearfully "Did she see the fairy again? The fairy always speaks to her and helps her fall asleep." I nodded and Haruhi silently took their hands, the walk back was uncomfortable but I couldn't help but feel happy in some small way that she had trusted me enough to tell me.
(YUKI'S POV)
(HER THOUGHTS)
I sighed and snuggled into something warm. I hoped I'd done the right thing by telling Kyoya, I mean only Ryu-nii knew outside of the cemetery keepers home and I was a bit worried. Then again … it should be alright, I mean, I liked Kyoya because he made me feel safe.
When he had leaned in and kissed my forehead I had been suddenly a lot more happy and less guilty, I mean he wouldn't comfort me if he thought I was bad would he? I smiled and felt a hand stroke my back. Maybe, just maybe, I could let Kyoya in, I mean he's obviously never going to like me in the same way I like him, but he could be a really good friend I guess.
Slowly my mind went blank, I fell into a deep slumber and muttered one thing that caused Kyoya to raise an eyebrow, not that I knew mind. "I love you …"
