Chapter 9 - chapter nine

"Mother never loved me... she only said she did... She said she did to keep me happy so that I wouldn't hurt her... Tohru is different..."

"How different she lied to you as well Kyou-kun." Shigure spoke quietly. "...She's only trying to make you happy till you go in that cage."

"She said she loved me... and it seemed real... unlike all those times mother lied to me..."

"So those words can be spoken with ease did she smile at you when she said it?" Yuki was watching him confused by what Shigure was saying.

"When doesn't she smile... even when she's sick she's smiling... because she's happy here, with us, with this family..."

"...Until we have to erase her memories." Shigure watched the cat. "...When she goes off to college when you are to be locked away and Yuki-kun is forced back to the estate."

"I won't let that happen... I won't let them do that to her, I can't let them...” His head rested beside her still, his eyes closed.

"...She is suffer now to make you happy to keep you safe from Akito-san."

"Tohru... I won't leave you, I promise," he whispered as he laid his head closer to her's, "I won't let them do what they plan..."

She slept silently still Shigure walking over grabbing his shoulder. "All we need is for Akito-san to walk in and see this."

"I won't leave her Shigure... and I won't let Akito do anything... I'd rather kill him and have to die too than let him touch her..."

"...And you don't think she will suffer when you do... How blind could you be..."

Kyou was confused, he didn't know what to think anymore, his emotions were twisted and mixed like a drink at a bar.

"It would be best to erase her memories now while she doesn't understand what’s going on." Shigure spoke sadly.

"NO... No..." Kyou spouted off, clinging to her hand as he lay his head on the bed still, "I told her I wouldn't let them do that to her... I promised her I would never lett her forget me or me forget her..."

"...She would never know Kyou-kun she could live a normal life... Without ever knowing you..."

"But I can't forget her... and I couldn't give her up like Hatori gave up his wife... I can't..."

“... She is suffering because of you..."

"I know she is... but... you don't understand, I just can't let her go..."

"Fine will see what happens when we take her home tomorrow..." Shigure spoke coldly. "Will see if she could stay knowing you..."

Kyou’s hand moved to his beads, looking down at them, sadness plastered all over his face.

"... It'll make things easier to see what she does and how she reacts."

Slowly, Kyou removes his hand from her's and stands up, "I'm going to the bathroom..." Yuki watched him carefully not sure what was going on anymore some of the things spoken he had no idea of. Slowly Kyou walked out the door and turned down the hall towards the restrooms. His eyes were downcast, looking at the floor as he walked. Yuki walked over to the bed setting down slowly petting her head to comfort her if she woke while Kyou was gone he cared about her he had no idea about what would happen to her after high school.

After a few moments, Kyou walked back into the room, looking at Yuki. "You care about her too... so why do you not help me, why do you sit there and take all the shoot the family throws at us, at her?" He looked to him coldly shaking his head as he petted Tohru's cheek softly letting her rest.

"We can't let them take her from us... can we?"

"...Kyou-kun... stand down right now..." He spoke barely above a whisper Shigure looking outside the window now as he had set back down in the chair.

"Stand down? And just LET them take her away? She's part of the family, she belongs with us!"

"Kyou-kun stand down now." He looked up to the cat looking in his eyes as Shigure got up walking outside closing the door. “... Try something now Kyou-kun you'll put her in more danger... She's sick... You try something and will have no where to take her to get well... You aren’t thinking of her welfare now you stupid cat!"

"I'm not going to start anything here... I want to wait 'til she's well and we get her home..."

"Then keep your temper down or risk her getting hurt by them..."

Sighing quietly, Kyou leans back against the door and looks up. "I don't want anything to happen to her..."

“... I don't either Kyou-kun, but we have to bite our tongues for now till everything is settled."

"Whatever... just, as long as she's alright in the end," he says, walking to the bed and sitting down on the edge of it.

He watches him carefully. "...We can't risk her becoming sicker."

"I know, I know... we'll wait I said..." Yuki sat close to Tohru his head lowered slowly as he closed his eyes. Kyou’s hands rested on his legs as he sat on the side of the bed, looking down at Tohru. She slept silently smiling as she started to feel much better her eyes opening slowly as she heard the rain. She looked outside watching the rain patter against the window. Kyou’s eyes glanced up at the window as he heard the sound of the rain starting to beat against the window. Slowly he let out a soft sigh, knowing that it was going to be one of those days for him if he had to go outside in that. She pushed herself up crawling down the bed to where Kyou was resting her head on his lap softly before her eyes closed slowly. Slowly he ran his hand through her hair again, glancing down at her with a soft smile on his lips. She always managed to make him smile. Yuki looked up to where she had laid down covering her with the bed sheet to help her stay warm.

Kyou’s eyes glanced up at Yuki, his hand still brushing lightly through Tohru's hair. Slowly he looked down and smiled, "Rest well, you've got to get better so we can all go home together."

"...Kyou-kun... Do the others hate me...?" She spoke barely above a whisper she could remember talking from coming in and out of sleep.
