At The Grave Of Kyokkou

Twilight's POV

I yawned as I stepped out my door.

"Mornin' Twilight." Tohru greeted. I waved sleepily.

"Can I go out today?"

"Yea. Where you going?" Tohru asked.

"Uh…I have to go visit a friend. It's their birthday."

Tohru's eyes lit up. "Do I know this person?"

"Uh…no."

"Why don't you invite this friend over." Tohru suggested. "We could throw a birthday party!"

I grimaced. "Sorry Tohru. He doesn't like parties."

"He?" Tohru prompted.

"Yeah." I said slowly.

Tohru giggled. I rose an eyebrow. "What?"

"Oh nothing." Tohru said waving a hand at me.

"Well…Yea. I better get going." I started to walk past her.

"You aren't going to have breakfast?" Tohru asked.

I turned around. I smiled slightly thinking of Kyokkou.

"Sure. Why not?" I answered.

Tohru looked a little surprised but then she smiled back at me. "Okay…This friend of yours…You seem happier. I'm not sure if I've seen you smile." Tohru pointed out.

"Do you need any help cleaning up?"

Tohru smiled. "No thanks, Twilight. You go visit your friend."

"'Kay then."

"See ya later, Twilight!" Kagura waved madly at me.

I waved back weakly as I head for the door.

"Has anyone seen that stupid cat?" Yuki asked suddenly.

"My guess would be he's still on the roof." Shigure said.

"Well…I have clothes to wash."

"Can I help Tohru? I really wanna wash Kyo's clothes." Kagura asked.

I shut the door behind me and blocked out Tohru's answer.

Roof…Huh…

Kyo's POV

I heard the door shut before the shuddering of the walls and the rattling of the windows.

Must be Twilight…

I rolled off my back onto my stomach and pushed myself up. I walked over to the edge of the roof and saw Twilight strolling across the lawn.

Where is she going…?

I continued to study Twilight. She was actually smiling.

Oh Wow. A rare occasion. But why is she smiling…?

I knew I probably shouldn't but I was to curious to find out what was making her smile. So I followed her. Keeping a good length between us so she couldn't see me. At first it seemed that she was just wandering around hopelessly, but then she started taking the route to the store.

She was talking a detour…?

When we reached the store she went in and I stayed hidden behind a tree. After about twenty minutes Twilight came out caring some groceries.

Did Tohru ask her to go shopping…?

Twilight was walking the opposite direction of the house. So she couldn't be taking the groceries home.

So she's not stopping for Tohru...unless she has another aeron...?

Twilight walked at a steady pace. I kept behind staying hidden in the shadows. After awhile I realized she was going the way to Tohru's mother's grave.

Why is she visiting Kyoko...?

Twilight reached the gate and it squeaked open. She walked through still caring the groceries. I slinked through the trees trying to keep her insight plus I was waiting for her to be far enough that I could get in without being caught.

She was far enough in that I could spring quickly to the trees that surrounded the stone wall in the inside. Twilight walked past Kyoko's grave and hesitated slightly that I'm not sure if she really did slow down. She briskly walked on.

She went to the end of the rows of graves --that where by the trees-- she steadily walked to the fourth one down the row and stopped. She sat down on her legs before the grave.

I wanted to get a closer look both to try and see the who the grave was of and to see what she was up to. I tiptoes my way towards her careful not to step on sticks, twigs, or leaves. I hid behind the tree that was directly behind her. Twilight began clearing the grave.

She raked the leaves with her fingers and put them in a neat pile on one of the sides of her. She continued with the processes of cleaning a grave. When she was done she scoped the leaves in her arms and carried them towards the tree I was hiding in.

Oh Shit...!

Twilight stopped several feet from the tree and threw the leaves in the them. They completely covered me. I would say everyone of them landed on me. She turned around and headed back towards the grave and I swear I saw her grinning.

I blew at a leave that was hanging above my right eye. I quietly brushed them off. The multi-colored leaves floated soundlessly to the ground.

Either that was a really big coincidence...or she knows I'm following her...I'm hoping for the first one...This would be so embarrassing if she knew...!

Twilight's POV

I stared at the grave infront of me.

Is he coming out…? You would think he would know by now that I know he's there…Infact I've know from the beginning…! He is a horrible stalker…!Could I possibly drop any more freakin' hints…! Kyo you're a dumbass…!

I sighed agitated.

"You can come on out now. I know you're there." I called out.

I heard a curse then heard the leaves crunch. I cranned my neck and look back at him. A light cool breeze blew; ruffling Kyo's hair and sending the leaves wirling around him. I fully turned my body to him. My jaw slightly dropped. The wind shifted and blew locks of hair across his right eye, the wind was going to the left of him. So it also uncovered his left eye. His eyes where hard, guarded. I found my voice stuck in my throat. The leaves swirled around his feet as he walked. The bright rainbow colors contrasted with his skin. It made him seem…paler but yet…breathtaking…

I continued to marvel at him. My eyes wide with shock. How come I've never noticed this before?!…

My heart started beating loudly in my chest.

Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-

I was surprised he couldn't hear it.

Suddenly I closed my mouth, pressing my lips into a tight line. My eyes became guarded, closed.

No…No…NO!…

I clenched my teeth together.

I can't…Not him…I hate him…It's not right… I don't like him like that…I'm not suppose to…Grrrrrr…

"How long have you known?" Kyo asked in a guarded voice, interrupting my thoughts.

Why am I still breathing this way…? My heart hasn't even slowed…Why won't my body respond to my head!…

"You there?" Kyo asked a little concerned line between his eyes.

Concerned…! Concerned my ass…! I mistaked it for something else…He's not concerned…

I blinked a few times.

"Y-y-yea."

"So are you going to answer my first question?" Kyo asked dropping into a crouch so he was face to face with me. He rested his arms on his legs.

"Umm…" What was the question again…? "Yes?"

A smile almost made it on his face. Almost.

"I asked how long you've known."

"Known what? I know all kinds of things!"

He sighed exasperatedly. "That I've been following you."

"Ooohhh…Since the beginning." I said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Panic flashed across his face. "The…" He gulped, "--beginning?"

I nodded.

"Crap." He smacked himself on the forehead.

I pulled away slightly, noting how close we had become.

"Yea. Well you're a horrible stalker." I pointed out. "Speaking of that…Why where you following me?"

He shrugged. "I saw you smiling and I wanted to know why."

I stared at him in disbelief. "Just because I was smiling you thought it a good reason to following me!?" I asked dumbfounded.

He glanced at my warily, then shifted his gaze down to my bracelet, then back to my face. I held up the hand that wasn't covered in beads. "I'm fine. Just shocked and sorta weirded out….Are you really a stalker?! 'cause you seem to be…Jesus…Do you get paid?! Whole crap! Who are you working for!? I'll kick his a--" He hand covered my mouth and muffled what came next.

He was fighting a smile. But his eyes couldn't hid the amusement he found from my rant.

"No. I'm not a stalker. I don't work for anyone. I most certainly don't get paid. I was following you because I wanted to know what was making you happy. Curiosity got the better of me. I didn't mean to intrude on you."

"Muffnokagagfuclgnoleonego."

He blinked at me then moved his hand.

"Thank you. But you could have just asked to come with."

"Would you have let me come?" He asked doubtfully.

"Yes…" He glared at me, "No, Probably not."

"Exactly."

"Still, there was no need to follow me. Again it's called asking."

"So if I asked anything. You would tell me?"

I winced. "Sorta depends on the question."

"What if it has something to do with why you are here…In a way…"

"I suppose…"

"'Kay." He said slowly. "Will you tell me who Kyokkou is? And don't say he's your cat. 'Cause the grave says that name. And animals aren't buried here. It's all people."

I looked down. "There could be dead squirrels." I said quietly.

"You said that if I asked you would tell me." Kyo said in an even voice. "I'm asking. Will you please tell me who Kyokkou is?" Kyo asked calmly again.

I took a deep breath and let it out.

"Fine." I swallowed. "It's a long complicated story." I looked to the sky. "I would have to tell you my whole life story in order for you to truly understand." Tears came down my cheeks. "But I can't do that." I looked at him. My gaze was blurry. "He was a guy that helped me. He took care of me for awhile." I blinked; the tears rolled down my face.

"Did you love this guy?"

I laughed bitterly. "Yea true love. A eleven year old child who loves a twenty-eight year old man. Like that could happen... Oh god. Look at me." I started to wip at my eyes. "I'm pathetic."

"No." Kyo said gently. "You did love him. I can tell."

I blinked at him surprised. "When did you become caring?"

He looked up at me. "I don't know." He muttered quietly. Probably not meant for my ears.

"I have another question. Will you tell me what happened?" His gaze searched my eyes. Seeking out answers.

I stared at him. This guy really is remarkable.

"That's one thing… I don't know I'll ever be able to tell anyone." My voice was unsteady. I met his searching eyes. "Especially you."
