She was never loved (Kyo love story) Chapter 2
Hello! Short memo today! Here's chapter 2! Oh, I DO know who the entire Zodiac is, just wanted to make that clear…
Disclaimer: I don't own Yuki, never will.
START!!!!
~Mist's POV~
It's through. They know I'm a Zodiac.
Momiji didn't change into a…whatever Zodiac he is. Everyone was startled, especially Momiji and Tohru. I turned away and gave Momiji a sideward glance. "Surprise!" Shigure shrilled with delight. Tohru gasped.
"Mist is a Zodiac!" she exclaimed, delighted. "What one is she? I thought all twelve – and the cat – were all taken?"
"Mist is a… special Zodiac. She is the wolf." Shigure said. I growled at him. "Please don't mind her, she has gone through so much more than you could ever imagine. Even more than you, Tohru. More than all of us." I pushed Momiji back as gently as humanly possible. He looked at my sad face.
"I'm…going on the roof…if you don't mind Uncle Shigure." I murmured and dragged my small bag that held a blanket and a lot of clothing and books. Everyone watched my departure, but no one stopped me.
~Shigure's POV~
I watched my niece totter up the stairs. No one made a word until we were sure that she was on the roof and out of hearing range.
"There's a wolf in the Zodiac?!" Momiji screeched. "Why didn't anyone tell me?!"
"Because, Momiji, the few of us that knew her hoped that if you all didn't know her, than Akito wouldn't remember her…" I recalled.
"Does Akito have a grudge against the wolf?" Haru asked.
"I wouldn't call it a grudge, but there anything but best friends. You see, even though the Zodiac and the cat have been reincarnated over the years, this is the first 'wolf'. God and the wolf hating each other is a pure fact. So, Akito and Mist hated each other at birth, even when they didn't know each other. She does not have the bond that we have with Akido, instead, she has a mixture of revenge and fear."
"Did you just say…f-fear?" Tohru stuttered.
"Yes, fear. She KNOWS about our bond with Akito and she fears that, one day, the whole Zodiac and the cat will turn on her. Though I tell her that's illogical, does she believe me?"
"I wouldn't." Kyo muttered.
"Well, you're Kyo. This is my NIECE we are talking about."
"Why does she also hold revenge toward Akito, Shigure?" Tohru asked. I smiled.
"That, my dear, is confidential information. And by that, I mean, Mist-will-kill-me-if-I-even-dare-telling-you. That is a story for another time." I stated, mysteriously.
"Oh, come on Shigure!" Momiji whined.
"You may even be able to figure it out…in time. Oh," Shigure started, "and maybe some eavesdropping, too!"
~Mist's POV~
They didn't realize it, but I was really eavesdropping on them. The truth is I actually feel like I WAS the wolf in the legend. 'This is the first wolf', Shigure said it himself. A few times – some of which I turned into my 'true form' – I felt like all I was, was the wolf. I feel different…I am different. Akito proved that to me many years ago…
Flashback:
"You are unwanted by everyone!" Akito shouted at me in his room. I was crying right below him. "Your parents might have actually loved you if you weren't the wolf! The wolf is the worst animal!"
"Why?" A younger me asked him. "Why… is the wolf so bad…?" Akito threw a glass pitcher at me. Blood flew off my face and I coughed some up, too. A long gash was formed on my forehead.
"We don't share the same bond that I have with the others! You are an unloved fool just like the wolf. The wolf loved no one and nobody loved her." Akito spat. I shook my face furiously, tears spewing out of my eyes.
"No! The…the wolf did love someone…" I whispered and Akito looked at me with bulged eyes.
"Okay, Mist. Who did the wolf love? Who did she love?" Akito asked teasingly. My breath was heavy, but still very soft. In a voice that almost didn't sound like my own, like the wolf had taken me over, I stood up, looked him in the eye and smirked, and whispered, "The cat. The wolf is in love with the cat. She risked life and limbs to change the date of the banquet so the cat could go. She loves him so much, even though… she doesn't know who possesses the…poor…cat…"
"Sounds like your fantasy to me, Mist." Akito taunted. "You are such an idiot…a fool. You can't love anyone and NO-ONE-LOVES-YOU." Akito left me in my puddle of tears and Shigure and Hatori came to my side.
End of Flashback:
That was when I was nine. And yet, I'm still in love with the cat. I never figured out who it was, though. I don't even know if it's even a HE! The people I still don't know what Zodiac they are are Haru, Momiji, Kyo, Kagura, or Akito's assistant Kureno. But, I do have reason to believe that Kagura is the boar, because on my last visit with Rin, when I was nine, I met Kagura for a quick second. She was making a rampage across the room and that made it quite obvious who the boar was. So, that left Haru, Momiji, Kyo, and Kureno; they're all males. Well, at least they're all guys. I wouldn't want the cat to be Kureno, though…
I tip-toed up the stairs to search for a room I could stay in. The first was obviously occupied; there were clothes in the closet and a neatly made bed. EVERY room was like that. I sighed. My room will be the roof. That isn't so bad…I thought to myself. So, I placed my bag next to the window that was easiest to climb up to the roof. I jumped up onto the sill and grabbed my bag. Then, I heaved myself upward onto the roof. How pleasant it was up there! The breeze with calm, but it was still chilly. I rummaged through my light weight backpack for my blanket. It was huge, big enough to wrap my whole body in it and put excess blanket over my head like a hood. The blanket was a dark maroon with a black rim. I had it since my departure of my house; it had been my mother's since she was a young girl. Though I didn't like her, I loved this blanket, so I "stole" it, if that is truly considered stealing.
I grabbed a hold of it and hauled it out of my now book-crammed backpack. I threw it over my head and wrapped myself in it. All you could see of me was my usual pale face and a few locks of my orange and white streaked, black hair. The breeze swung the strands of my hair back and forth. I sighed. I want to meet the cat zodiac…
I watched the sun slowly sink down and the moon rise. Momiji and Haru left a while ago, but I didn't feel like going down stairs. I still didn't think it was necessary to move me into this house. I thought about how I was going to have to ask permission to stay here and knowing Akito, my life in this world would be cut short if I wasn't thinking correctly. I soon felt the presence of someone behind me. I turned around and saw…
EVIL CLIFFHANGER!!!
MWAHAHAHAA!!!
Who is behind Mist?!?!?
Well, the next chapter is already written, but if you wanna make a quick review on a guess that you have anyway. Be my guest.
