Hi everybody, Akito Sohma 101 here. I'm so sorry I have put off updating this story and putting up new ones; but I had a trace of writer's block, and work has been piling up. But I'm back, and it's time to continue on with this story now that I have more ideas and a new favourite band to inspire me to do so. I thank Black Veil Brides for it all. God bless you!
It had already been over a year, and it was raining. Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru were on their way home from school, umbrellas in hand, but Kyo looked down in the dumps. It was understandable as he was the cat and cats hate the wet, but there was something else altogether that wascausing it. Tohru was worried about him, she wanting to make him feel better. Even so, it wasn't worth it; he was just too weak.
"Kyo? Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'll be fine," said Kyo, "once the weather clears up. This is natural though."
"We could share my umbrella if you want," Tohru suggested.
"We could instead share mine." Tohru could only smile at that, so she closed her umbrella and then stood Kyo's with him. Yuki could only smile at them; he knew Kyo loved her and he understood. It was just like when he first met Machi a few days prior, and he fell in love with her, as she did him. The three teens continued on home, when they got there, they saw someone who only Yuki and Kyo knew.
"So you finally come back," said Yuki.
"No kidding," Kyo agreed as the man turned around and smiled. "Master?"
"Hello Kyo," said Kazuma, "you are looking well."
They all went inside; Tohru introduced herself, and then got to making some tea for everybody. Kazuma spoke to Kyo, saying he should remain at Shigure's house; he expected Kyo to explode in anger, but Kyo plainly said it was okay. He then turned to Tohru and smiled at her, and that's when Kazuma realized what Akito told him was true. He spoke to Shigure alone after that. He wanted to tell him what he heard from Akito.
"Akito told me that when she met Tohru, she had a very deep feeling Tohru can accept Kyo's true form, even though it'll frighten her. She seems to really like her."
"She even told me that herself," said Shigure. "So if you're going to do it, when will it be?"
"Tonight," Kazuma replied. Shigure's eyes widened. He knew Kyo would be unprepared, and he had no choice but to let it happen. A little later, Kazuma spoke to Kyo outside in the pouring rain; and again he expected Kyo to freak out. But he didn't, he was unusually calm about it.
"You do know she'll have to find out," said Kazuma.
"Yes I do know," said Kyo, "but I'm concerned about what Tohru will think. It might scare her so much that she may not want to see me again. I love her."
Yep he said it.
"I can tell you do," Kazuma replied. "And that's why Akito thinks she can accept it."
At that moment, Akito arrived all soaked from the rain just as Tohru came outside. Kyo nervously allowed Kazuma to remove his beads from his wrist, and within seconds, Tohru watched him turned into a grotesque, foul smelling creature. Kyo was scared, so he ran off. Tohru was scared too, but she wanted to accept it and let him know she too loved him. Without a word, she took off after Kyo.
Nearly an hour later, there was no sign of Tohru or Kyo. Akito, being the telepathic kind, searched far and wide; but opened her eyes.
"There's nothing," she said. "I can't see where Tohru is exactly, but all I know is that she's still charging through the woods. As for Kyo, I haven't a clue of his current whereabouts. There's something else; we all know when Kyo turns into that thing he can't control his actions, he might hurt her."
"What are we going to do?" asked Yuki.
"They need to be found," Akito answered, "you need to make sure he won't do anything violent Yuki. Follow Tohru's scent, it'll lead you to the both of them."
Akito's instructions were clear, so Yuki slipped his shoes on and took off into the woods, following Tohru's scent. It got stronger as he found her shoes on the ground; he thought she tripped as she was running. He continued to follow her scent, until he found Kyo sitting by a small lake, then Tohru going towards him. Kyo perked up and looked at her, Yuki stood his ground, but Kyo didn't move. He was just surprised she was there.
"Are you scared?" asked Kyo nervously.
"I am," answered a very shaky Tohru. "Although I couldn't let you do this on your own. Why don't we go home? And stay together. Always."
Kyo was shocked to hear that from the girl he loved. He changed back to his human form.
"You don't have to love everything you know," he stated.
"I love you," said Tohru. Kyo's eyes widened.
"You do?" Tohru nodded. As Kyo put a smile on his face he hugged her. Tohru was confused.
"You're not transforming," she said.
"Your words broke the entire curse," Kyo replied. "I thank you for that, and I love you."
He leaned in and captured her lips in a sweet kiss. After which time, the three teens walked back to the house; Kazuma was standing there with Kyo's beads, surprised to see him in human form holding Tohru without transforming. Even Akito, who was standing on the porch with Shigure, was amazed. She was so proud of Tohru's courage; she invited the entire household to move back to the Main House. She even permitted Kyo and Tohru to marry after he proposed, so they married six months later, and Yuki married Machi one month after that.
See the difference? And did you see some clues about the Sohmas? Well, it'll be revealed in the next chapter. Please read and review and please be nice about it.
