Chapter 3

I woke up from the sun shinning in my eyes. I got up in a flash. I nearly forgot about my breakup, but it's to important to forget. I got dressed in my uniform, and crept downstairs.

Tohru, Shigure, and Yuki sat around the table. They were chowing down on food. "Come eat with us Kyo." Shigure told me while pointing to an empty seat across from him.

"I'm not hungry" I frowned.

"Why not? Are you sick?"

"No! I'm just not hungry" I glanced at Tohru who was digging her face into her rice. She didn't want to look at me.

Shigure got up from the ground, and placed his hand on my forehead. "Kyo... You have a fever" Shigure said "You should stay home."

"No! I'm fine, just a lot on my... Oh never mind. I'm going to school" I walked to the door, and went to the street.

Usually I would walk with Tohru, but I can't anymore. I feel horrible when I'm around her. When I got to school I had 15 minutes before my first class. I saw Tohru in the hallway with Yuki.

I can't let them see me. I went down a different hallway. It started to get a little hot so I unbuttoned my top a little. I just can't be here. I went to the closest door, and left. It'll just be one day of school, so no big deal.

"Hey! " Momiji grabbed my wrist, and pulled me back in school. "Where are you going" he added with that high pitch squeal.

"None of your business brat!" I hissed.

He started to cry "Stooop being so mean"

"Shhhh" I said "Okay sorry"

He cleared up his tears, and smiled "So where you going?"

"I'm ditching"

"That's wrong"

" I don't care" I clinched my teeth.

"You should! Ditching is wrong, and lying is wrong"

"Please keep this between us"

"Nope"

The flare in my brain lit up, and I grabbed his collar nearly lifted him up, but I saw the fear in his eyes when I let go of my grip, and sighed "Please."

"Well..Alright. I don't approve though"

I put my hand on his head, and smiled. I turned around, and walked out. I knew exactly where to go to. It's a cliff not to far from town. I go there, and no one knows about it. Well I don't see anyone there. I strolled through the empty street.

...

I layed on the ground, and looked at the sky. This is what I needed to... is to meditate. The thing is when you meditate you clear your mind not fill it up with useless memories.

I yawned when I closed my eyes, and took a cat nap. No pun intended.

...

I opened my eyes to an evening sky. I slept to long! I got up faster than I could think it.

I ran down the hill, and to the street. I have to get home before they worry about- wait! They won't worry about me.

I slowed down while walking down the street. I put my hand in my pocket, and walked home. When I got there Yuki, Shigure, Tohru, Momjij, and Hatsuharu were in a crowd at the table.

I tried slipping in, but when I took a step I fell to my knees. My legs turned to jelly, and it felt like a 1000 degrees.

They got up from the table, and rushed towards me. Why do I do this myself? All of them leaned to my level except for Yuki who crossed his arms. He stood in the corner, staring at us.

"Why would you skip school?" Shigure asked. "School is important, and..." I started to zone out. "Kyo! Did you listen to anything I said?"

"Wait what" I studdered. I got up, and everyone got up with me.

"You can't just go anywhere you want without permission. You can't just ditch school," Shigure said.

"Yeah don't be so stupid. " Yuki sighed

"You're an idiot" Hatsuharu added.

"I told you not to ditch" Momjij told me.

"STOP! Stop yelling" I snapped.

"We only care about you" Momjij said.

"Care about me?" I mocked " No one here would ever care about me. Why now?" I coughed in my sleeve. "Shigure you like to blame stuff on me. Everything that comes to your mind." I started to cough again "Hatsuharu you want to fight with me all the time." My nose started to run when I whipped it on my sleeve. "Momjij you are a know it all. Yuki you just plan hate me. And Tohru..." I didn't know what to say. I care about her, and I bet she cared about me. "Nothing. " I made a foul of myself. "I'm going outside"

I turned around when I fell. I turned my back to everyone, and sat with my legs straight, regaining my strength.

I coughed on the ground, when Shigure came up behind me. He yanked on my shoulder turning me around. He looked straight in my eyes when he placed his hand on my forehead. "You still have that fever" is all he could say even with the mean words I said. He helped me up "Get to bed, and I'll get you medicine." he added

I stumbled upstairs, but fell. Luckily Hatsuharu was behind me. He gripped me in his arms, and dragged me in my bed. "You're pathetic," he laughed when I was crawling in my bed.

About five minutes later, Shigure came in with some pills, and a glass of water. He put them on the table, and then walked away. I scooped them, and placed them in my mouth. I drank them down, and turned on my side. I closed my eyes, and I heard someone walk in. I kept my eyes close when I heard "I may not like you, but I still care about you" it was Yuki. The footsteps left, and the door slammed. I will make an effort to make things go back to normal.
