TROUBLED LOVE
CHAPTER FIVE: HATRED
Yuki Sohma walked down the steps, rubbing his eyes. It was hard for him to fall asleep last night because he was worried about what Tohru-kun would say when she came to her decision. As he went to the table to eat, he saw Shigure, but no sign of Tohru-kun.
"Good morning, Yuki! You're looking cheerful this morning!" Shigure-san said as he saw the groggy boy sit at the table.
Yuki-kun started eating the food Tohru-kun had prepared earlier when he said between bites, "Where's Tohru-kun?"
"Ah, you've finally managed to say her first name, eh? Our little flower has gone to visit a friend of hers. She said she's not sure how long she's going to be gone."
Yuki-kun stopped eating. "This early in the morning? That's strange."
"She probably wanted to get away for a while," a voice said. Yuki-kun turned around to see the Cat glaring at him. He had seen him glare at him, but this was more hatred than he'd ever seen in Kyo's eyes. Not only that, but there was jealousy. Realization hit Yuki-kun.
"You told her, didn't you? You told her that you love her," Yuki-kun said with clenched teeth.
"Yeah, but it's not like you didn't tell her!" Kyo-kun yelled.
Shigure-san looked between the two and, though happy they had finally confessed their feelings to Tohru-kun, slightly wished they didn't have the same feelings for her. Shigure might write romance novels (when he feels like it), but he never saw something as heated as this before over a girl.
"YOU STUPID CAT! I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE HER! THE CAT ISN'T LOVED BY ANYONE!"
"THAT'S RIGHT, YOU SPOILED RAT! I NEVER WAS LOVED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN SHISHOU, AND WHEN SOMEONE FINALLY COMES ALONG THAT I LOVE, YOU TRY TO TAKE HER FROM ME!"
Shigure-san closed his eyes as he saw them lunge at each other, not only because he didn't want to see his home being destroyed, but also not see the gruesome site that would be there.
CRASH!
Shigure saw opened his eyes to see the two boys laying outside. They had crashed into the door, and blood was everywhere from the glass. (A/N I know that Kyo-kun had been flung through the door many times and had not been too badly hurt, but please work with me here!) The two were unconscious. Whether they would make it or not was not known. There were glass all over them, and it seemed to take a miracle that the blood would stop. Shigure-san quickly called Hatori-san, and took the teenagers to their rooms.

Tohru-kun was dressed in black, sitting in front of a gravestone. She laid some flowers there and cleaned it off. On the gravestone, it said, "Jinshi Hikaru, R. I. P.". It was hard for her to believe he had been gone for more than two years. She felt bad for not telling Yuki and Kyo about him, and for saying no one had told her they loved her before, but she wanted to stay away from the subject as much as possible. The Sohmas had willingly opened up to her and told her about hard things that happened to them, and she couldn't even be brave enough to tell them what happened to her first love. 'When I do tell them,' she thought, 'I hope they don't hate me for lying to them.' Of course, they wouldn't, but this is Tohru-kun. Tohru-kun decided to keep her mind off that, but unwillingly, her brain had brought forth a memory of a conversation she wanted to forget…
"Tohru, I love you too."
"I-I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same. Um, maybe we could just be friends?"
"If I can't have you, no one can!"
"Don't shoot her!"
"Hikaru-kun, look out!"
That was when she was in a love triangle like she is now. Hatred ran ramped as an admirer from school shot Hikaru in the chest. The shooter was sentenced to Juvenile Hall (A/N Do they have that in Japan?) and Hikaru-kun was sent to the hospital. He died later that night.
Suddenly, Tohru-kun had a really bad feeling. She wasn't able to sense waves, like Hana-chan could, but right now she just knew she had to get to Shigure-san's house right away. She said, "Good-bye, Hikaru-kun," out loud, and ran as fast as her legs could take her.
F. U. R. U. B. A.
When Tohru saw the house, Hatori-san's car was in front of it. 'Eh? What's going on!'
"Konnichiwa! Shigure-san? Hatori-san? Yuki-kun? Kyo-kun?" Tohru-kun shouted, since no one was in the house. 'Wait, where's the door?' Tohru-kun wondered suddenly. She could have fainted when she saw the glass in the garbage and the blood that was drying outside. She quickly ran up the stairs and heard voices coming from Kyo-kun's room. She knocked on the door, and went in. Hatori, so it would be easier to keep an eye on them, had both Kyo and Yuki in the bedroom. Both were still unconscious and bleeding profusely. Hatori-san was now wrapping up their wounds, since by now he had the glass out.
"Honda-kun, there's been an accident. Shigure says they were fighting over you, and they accidentally crashed through the door. We're not sure if they'll make it, because they lost a lot of blood," Hatori-san said as the girl turned pale at the site of the two Sohmas.
Tohru-kun slipped into a chair beside the bed and confused Shigure-san and Hatori-san when she whispered, "Please, God, not again."
Prettyinpinkgal: Wow, that's the most dramatic thing I've ever written! Not that I've written that many stories on I'm sorry that some of the characters are a little OOC. Gomen nasi! Anyway, please review!
