The Reason I Love You

Chapter Thirteen

"I'm sorry...okay?"

Tohru stared at him. "I didn't..." he sighed, "...I know it hurt you. A lot," he paused. His bowed head looked up at her, "I'm sorry, okay?"

The young woman beamed pleasantly at him, taking his hands in hers. She then lifted one of her hands to caress his cheek. "Kyo-kun, I'm not mad at you."

"You should..." he mumbled softly. Tohru shook her head. "Why should I?" she smiled at him. Kyo shook his head before turning away from her. "I don't know, for everything maybe. I hurt you, lots of times and I..." he turned to his fiancée once more, "...I have a strange feeling that I..."

Tohru waited for him to continue, but when he didn't she asked, "What is it, Kyo-kun?" Kyo shook his head, "Nah, forget it. It's nothing. It's just...some stupid hunch anyways." He turned away again; slipping his hands off Tohru gently but stop as Tohru grabbed his arm lightly, turning him around to face her. "What is it, Kyo-kun?"

Kyo shook again. "It's nothing. It's just a stupid feeling I felt. Not like it's gonna happen anyway. Geez Tohru," he smirked. "This is why I really don't want to tell you this sort of things. It gives you stupid ideas and starts to worry or whatever." He then caressed her cheeks lovingly. "Anyway, I'm really sorry for what I said about your aunt and uncle. I really hate the way they treated you." Tohru shook her head.

"It's alright," she said slowly. She held a worried expression on her face. Kyo noticed this that he dipped his head lower to her level and planted a chaste kiss on her lips, whispering softly, "'everything will be fine', that's what you always say to me, remember?"

Tohru looked up at him, her lips slowly arch upwards. "I love you, Kyo-kun," she blushed. Kyo smirked as he repeated the same line to her. "Kyo-kun," she started after a moment's silence.

"Hm?"

"You...you won't leave me, will you, Kyo-kun?" Tohru's eyes pleading. Kyo stared at her questioningly.

"Why...so sudden—"

"Will you?"

Kyo stared at her intent, brown eyes. He almost shuddered at first thinking about the stupid hunch he felt just a few nights ago. He frowned and shut his eyes slowly before opening them again, now looking at a determined Tohru staring back at him. Kyo smiled as he pulled her into a hug.

"No," he whispered. "No, I won't, I couldn't, wouldn't and never will. I promise..."

Tohru freed herself from Kyo's arms. Then she beamed as she gently put her arms around Kyo's neck, pulling him down and closing the gap between them, sharing a slow and passionate kiss.

Kyo opened his eyes slightly and slowly rose from his bed to a sitting position. His head pounded painfully that he massages his temple, frowning as he did. "Urgh..." he groaned. "I hate this..." He sighed. "And where is she when I needed her?"

He then laid back on his bed, snoring quietly as he sleeps.

Takuma stood silently as he absent-mindedly copying the notes written on the blackboard. It's been a whole week since he had the conversation with his mother, and never once did he speak of it again. Not even to his mother, or anyone else. He merely kept to himself. He even barely talks in class. Just listening, watching and thinking. Whenever his friends asked, he answered just as leisurely, or didn't even bother replying at all. He decided that he'll act natural, just the way he always does, but it never work. Every time he was alone or quiet, he remembered the conversation and his mother, and it pained him. A lot.

Takuma frankly admitted that he's disappointed, frustrated and angry at both his parents for being selfish. But he could never hate them. No, they're the only ones he has left on this world. There are no others.

But...

Takuma turned his head towards Kisa, who sat just a few seats in front of him. He had never in his life felt so curious, but this time, he really wants to know the truth. His mother didn't tell him any details other than about his Aunt Chie and that he has a brother four years his senior, and now, it's time for him to find out for himself, and there's only one living person he knows and close enough to help him, Sohma Kisa.

Just as the bell rings, Takuma quickly darted up from his seat to the young red headed girl.

"Er... Hi, Kisa," he started out hesitantly. Kisa looked up at him and smiled cheerfully. "Takuma-kun!"

"Em...do you think you," he paused, trying to find the perfect words to say, "Do you think you could help me?"

Kisa tilted his head cutely in confusion, but she smiled and nodded her head nonetheless. "Of course. What is it that you want me to help you with, Takuma-kun?"

"Well, um...do you think we can talk someplace else? It's kinda, well, personal." He paused again to look at her. She stared wide eye at him. Takuma quickly responded, "w-well, if that's okay to you, t-that is. I mean, I know you want to spend your time with Hiro anyway."

"No, it's okay. Hiro is absent today. He has something important to do for his little sister." She said as she looked down at her bento, Takuma noticed that she's gripping her bento hard. But then she looked up again, cheerfully this time, "where are we going Takuma-kun?"

"Huh? Oh, er...is the roof okay?" Kisa nodded as she stood from her chair and followed Takuma out of their classroom.

Once they were both seated on the floor, Takuma merely sat quietly as he stared at Kisa who was busying herself arranging the bentos between them. After a while Takuma decided that he should talk and start a conversation with her.

"Um, why did Hiro absent again you say?" he asked. He was about to ask her a different question, but since Hiro never missed any chance to goggle and snuggle on Kisa, he became a little curious that he had to ask her. Kisa looked up at him. "Oh, um...well his sister Hinata's currently having a pretty high fever, and his mother's busy today so she needs his help taking care of Hinata for her."

"Oh."

"Takuma-kun, do you want some teppayaki?"

"Huh?" Kisa was gesturing the food in the bento before him. He hesitated, and then nodded slowly.

"Thanks." Kisa nodded as she smiled.

"So, Takuma-kun, what is it that you want to ask me to help you with?" Kisa asked, politely.

"Erm...well," he cleared his throat. "There's something I wanted to ask you." Kisa shot her eyebrows up as she looked at him curiously. "Do you remember that day when you show me the past years' annual yearbooks?" Kisa nodded. "Um, do you have them with you today?" Kisa frowned and then shook her head.

"I'm so sorry Takuma-kun; I didn't bring them with me today. But why?"

"Well, it's just that I kinda...well, looking for someone."

"Oh," she whispered slowly, nodding slowly. "Was that person a senior in this school?" Takuma shrugged. "I don't know. The fact is I don't really know who I'm looking for. But I do know that it's a guy...and that he's a Sohma."

Kisa, who was munching her food stop chewing. "And he's also four years older than we are. So, I'm just wondering if you knew anyone who's a Sohma and is," he counted using his fingers, "around twenty-one, twenty-two years of age."

"Um," Kisa stared at her food for while, thinking. "Well, if you're looking for a boy around that age," she said slowly, apparently thinking hard, "Momiji nii-chan and Haru nii-chan are, um, twenty this year. And, oh!" she said suddenly, making Takuma jump in shock. "Yuki nii-san and Kyo nii-san are twenty-one. Well, I think Kyo-nii probably a little older than Yuki-nii, but..." she drifted before looking back at the boy in front of her, "...why is it that you're looking for this person, Takuma-kun?"

"Well," he hesitated, then slowly sighed, "I guess I should tell you. Um...if you must know," she nodded eagerly; Takuma sighed again, "I'm looking for my half-brother..."

Kisa was taken aback before frowning as she think hard. "Um...I think we've mistaken, none of them have brothers except for Yuki-nii, he has a brother named Ayame and he's older than him." She shook her head.

"I dunno...it's just a fact that this brother of mine..." he paused, "...well, he didn't know my existence."

"Pardon?"

Takuma sighed, "Well, apparently, um...this guy, my half-brother, whoever he is didn't even know he has a brother, that is to say...me." Kisa looked confused that Takuma decided to tell her everything. She is after all, his best friend. "Listen, if I tell you this would you mind keeping it just between the two of us?"

Kisa looked perplexed at first, but after some time she nodded her head slowly, "I promise."

"Thanks," Takuma then took a deep breath before releasing it calmly and started slowly, "It happened more than ten years ago..."

"Knock knock."

Kyo darted his head towards the door, only to see a beaming Yuki smiling at him, with Haru behind him. Kyo frowned before shifting himself firmly on his bed. His long hair almost covers his eyes fully. Kyo stared intently at them as they walked across the room to the chairs beside his bed. Kyo's eyes looked at them back and forth. His stare made Yuki a little uneasy and uncomfortable. Haru, however, remained calm as he stared back at his orange head cousin.

"You're supposed to say 'who is it'." Haru said as he sat himself on one of the chairs beside Yuki. Kyo shifted again, tilting his head and arch one of his eyebrows upwards as he continues staring at his two cousins.

"It's 'who's there' Haru." Yuki sighed. Haru shrugged. Yuki turned to Kyo, smiling awkwardly. "How are you feeling?"

Kyo remained silent as his eyes scanned Yuki from his face to his toes then back again. A moment's silence overwhelmed them until Kyo replied with a simple, "fine."

Yuki nodded. I'm not good at this...and Haru's not even helping. He looked at Kyo's intense gaze again. Somebody please come and spare me. "Um...Tohru-san left already?" Truth be said, he, Yuki, is seriously uncomfortable right now just by staring at his cousin.

"She didn't come today," Kyo said and paused, "not yet." His voice was quiet, passive and calm, yet intense and brewing, and his stare was...Yuki almost shuddered.

"Oh," Yuki replied. "Ah, here's something for you." He handed a box to Kyo, who frowned at it as he shifted backwards a bit. Yuki nodded as he put the box on Kyo's bedside table. "It's for you, from us—"

"They say you're my cousin," Kyo suddenly said made Yuki's eyes widened.

"Who said?"

"That doctor guy...and the older one..." Yuki guessed that the second person was Kazuma, "...and Tohru."

"W—Yeah. We both are," he pointed at himself and Haru. "Well, the doctor, Hatori is also one of our cousins, along with Momiji, the blonde boy; my brother, Ayame and Shigure and Ritsu...mostly everyone."

"Even Tohru?" Haru and Yuki were taken aback a little at this. Yuki decided that he should do the explaining, at least a little to his now confused looking cousin. "Well, Tohru-san is not our cousin." He stated.

"Then who is she?" Kyo asked firmly.

Yuki and Haru exchanged glances before Yuki started off again. "She didn't tell you?" Kyo shook his head slowly, eyes fixed at Yuki's face. "Tohru-san is your fiancée." Kyo tilted his head a little before turning his head towards the other side of the room. "You and Tohru-san were supposed to be married six months ago."

Kyo remained silent and kept his eyes at the doorway. "Was that why she cried?"

"Huh?"

"Every time she's here, she cried," he said slowly. "She didn't know I knew...but I do. She always cried whenever she thinks I wasn't looking, or asleep. So was that it? Was that why she always cried whenever she's with me? "

Yuki and Haru were both lost for words. "What exactly happen between us? What happened to me? You told me we were supposed to be married. What does that mean?" Kyo's voice hoarse as he growled, forcing the words out. "What is wrong with me? Why can't I remember anything? Why can't I remember anyone of you?" Kyo gripped his blanket tightly. Yuki and Haru saw his veins as he gripped the thin fabric.

"Kyo, before I explain anything I need you to calm down." Yuki said as he put his right hand on Kyo's left shoulder. Kyo glanced at him. "Please," Yuki pleaded. Kyo lessened his grip a little as his eyes once again followed Yuki's movements as the smaller man sat back on his seat.

"Okay, I need you to calm down and be patient while I tell you everything I know, alright?" Yuki said. "Questions can come later after I finish." Kyo glared but nodded nevertheless. "Good."

"Well, okay. I'll start with you and Tohru-san. As I said, she's your fiancée and has been for three years. You both were supposed to be married six months ago but unfortunately you met an accident on the same night we had our family gathering at Shihan's dojo. The night you had that accident was three, two nights before your wedding. You got that?" Yuki asked Kyo, who nodded his head obediently. "Okay, frankly said, you hit your head pretty hard that night that you lost almost every memory you have about us, Tohru-san and yourself. That's why you can't remember anything and anyone of us. Remember what Hatori told you that day? He said you're suffering amnesia..." Yuki paused, thinking, "...well, for the time being. But we're sure you'll recover soon enough." He added quickly.

Kyo remained quiet. After some time he spoke, "tell me more about everyone."

"Well, there are us, obviously and—"

"Tell me about this man, Kazuma. Who is he?"

"Um, Shihan is our karate master," Kyo's eyebrows shot upwards. "Yeah, we took karate lessons with him, including you."

"In your case, he's your..." Haru glanced at Yuki.

"Father." Haru said firmly, Kyo attention turned to him. "That man is your father. Sohma Kazuma."

"Y-yes. Sohma Kazuma is your father but you usually call him Shishou." Yuki beamed.

"Shishou..." Kyo repeated quietly under his breath. "So if he's my father, then who's my mother?"

"Um...Your mother died back when you were a kid. Years ago," Yuki stated awkwardly, "sorry..." he said quietly under his breath.

Kyo stared at him. "Oh," he said. "How?" Yuki looked up at him.

"Come again?"

"How did my mother die?" Kyo said slowly. Yuki licked his lips. He suddenly feel some sort of regret offering himself to tell him, since there's so much more about Kyo he didn't know and practically didn't want to talk about. He knew of course, how Kyo's mother died. Everybody knows. But how does he, of all people, suppose to tell him that his mother died killing herself for having a cursed son. "How did my mother die?" Kyo repeated his words patiently.

Yuki opened his mouth to retort his answer, but nothing came out. "She, well she—"

"She suffered a sudden critical illness that anybody who suffers the same illness will never survive," Haru replied. "It's a severe case. More like cancer or some sort." Haru nodded his head confidently.

Though Yuki was shocked at Haru's answer; he was inwardly relieved that Haru came out with such a reply. Really relieved indeed, and honestly appreciate it. Kyo however, was not satisfied with Haru's answer. He frowned again, gazing at his two cousins back and forth, with a disbelieving expression plastered on his face.

"Really?"

"Well, we're not exactly sure since we were both young ourselves at that time." Yuki said hesitantly. Kyo stared at him again, and this time he did shudder a bit, though it goes unnoticed by his two companions.

"I don't like you," said Kyo, suddenly and bluntly. Yuki's eyes widened, his jaw dropped. Haru was shocked to say the least, though his expression remains emotionless. Kyo shook his head. "But..." he paused, "I don't think I hate you either."

Yuki almost heaved a deep sigh of relief. He actually smiled a little. "I guess that's...alright..."

Kyo stared at him for a moment, before smirking. "If that's so, than tell me."

"Tell you what?"

"What's my mother's name?"

Was he testing me? Yuki stared at Kyo's deep vermillion eyes. It was full of confusion, and full of questions. How the hell am I suppose to know his mother's name? Yuki gawped at Kyo. Haru looked at them both back and forth, aware of the tension between his two older cousins.

Kyo waited for Yuki's answer and darted his eyes to Haru's direction, as if saying 'I dare you to answer for him this time'. Haru merely looked at him. Kyo turned back to Yuki.

"What is her name?" he asked again, "Yuki." He whispered darkly.

That was the first time Kyo ever did call him by his name since the day he woke up. Yuki was confused and nervous at the same time. Kyo never called him in that tone, ever! What is wrong with this guy? "I-I don't kn—"

"Chie," said a voice. All three of them turned their heads towards to owner of the voice, who was gracefully standing by the door. "Sohma Chie. That is your mother's name."

"You..." Kyo gawped at the man who walked to his direction.

"I see you're well today," he said, "Kyo." Then he beamed.
