CHAPTER 5
----------------------------
The next morning Yuki left early to catch the bus for the trip, they were going
to a special shrine in Hokkaido, Kyo didn’t remember what was so special about
it. Tohru and Kyo walked to school in silence, neither of them wanted to upset
the other person by saying something stupid.
It was a muggy day, rain condescending against Kyo, making him even more
depressed due to lack of energy. ‘Great, this is all I need to add to my
damned life!’ the orange haired teen thought with spite to the world. The
school day lurched away miserably, leaving Kyo physically and mentally drained.
On top of all that, it rained while they were walking home.
“Damn it!” Kyo shouted and started to run but didn’t last very long, only
having sprinted a couple of feet. He heaved a strained sigh and trudged in the
rain, ‘I cant believe this, Yuki leaving, Tohru professing her annoying love
to me and rain! God damn, stupid sonuvabitch rain!’ he cursed and urged his
tired limbs to walk faster.
Not realizing it, Kyo had left Tohru in the dust, or should we say mud. She
lagged behind him because she couldn’t stand being so close to him after
embarrassing herself. ‘I’m sure I’ll be fine in a couple of days, he’s
still my friend, right?’ At that thought, she perked up.
Shigure was sitting outside on the porch still under the roof, smelling the
scent of sweet rain. He quirked an eyebrow when he saw Kyo, looking quite
disheveled and distraught, thumping towards him. “Good afternoon Kyo-kun.”
Kyo’s tired and swollen red eyes met Shigure’s playful charcoal ones. He
hadn’t realized he had been crying while walking in the rain until Shigure
gave him a concerned look. Kyo grunted and started to walk in the house but was
stopped by the dog’s intrusion, “I didn’t think having Yuki gone would
affect you think much Kyo-kun.”
A twitch and a gasp. Kyo recovered and stopped dead, “What the hell are you
talking about you stupid dog?”
“You obviously miss him, I thought you were going to piss yourself when he
said he was leaving!” Shigure chortled and slapped his knee.
This enraged Kyo to no end “Shut the fuck up! You don’t know what you’re
talking about! I’m happy he’s gone!” With that Kyo began to tramp up the
stairs to the bathroom. He took a quick shower to remove the mud that had caked
on his legs and to wash his shaggy orange locks.
He couldn’t help but cry more, tears mingling with shower droplets as he
yearned for Yuki. Shigure was right, Kyo did miss Yuki, he missed him so much it
hurt to think at all.
He leaned against the wall of the shower and buried his face in his hands,
hoping to shut out the world, to hide in himself. The water began to become
chilly so he shut off the water, got dressed again and went to his room, his
solitude.
Kyo tried to think of the time before Akito began his tirade of hatred on them,
when Yuki and he would frolic through the forest behind the Sohma estate. They
played hide and go seek, tag, and they constantly wrestled. Remembering this
made Kyo giggle, those were the days. When life was simple and naïve and love
was unhindered by discrimination.
A long past memory came back to him, one that he was humiliatingly fond of. Yuki
and he were four years old and it was near New Year’s Eve. The snow billowed
from the sky like smoke from a chimney and they were sitting on the steps to
Hatori’s office.
[FLASHBACK]
“Hey Yuki?” Kyo asked, rubbing his hands together for makeshift warmth.
“Yeah?” Yuki questioned with his big cobalt eyes glimmering with
anticipation.
Kyo grabbed his cousin’s hand and smiled a toothy grin, “When we get older
will you marry me?”
The rat furrowed his eyebrows for a moment, pondering hard on this topic.
“I…sure!” he responded and smiled back. They held hands and blabbered
about unimportant childish things the rest of the day…
[END FLASHBACK]
Kyo started laughing out loud and sobbing at the same time. “God I was an
idiot!” he blurted. His laughing soon dissolved into more tears, it was so
depressing, loving and not being loved. Now he had more empathy for Kagura and
for Tohru, he understood their pain.
The orange haired boy needed a way to vent his pain so he pulled out his guitar.
He had only recently began to play but picked it up pretty quick. There was one
song her knew very well and would always sing to himself when he was lonely, he
started strumming the string and emitting a sullen tune. He began to sing…
“Ugh I can’t believe the damned bus broke down!” Yuki growled out loud as
he carried his over night bag that was heavy with 2 nights worth of clothing
back to the house. “Just what I need to add to my dilemmas!”
The rain fell hard on Yuki; his treading was depressed and lethargic as he
caught sight of Shigure sitting on the porch. “Hello Shigure.” Yuki mumbled
as he threw his bag into the living room carelessly.
The silver haired boy didn’t care if Shigure responded, he just wanted to go
upstairs and try to get over his sudden heartbreak.
As he scaled the stairs a nearly angelic voice wafted down to meet his ears as
it sang a sad, abandoned sounding song. Kyo’s lyrics came into play…
(song)
Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...
I've got feelings for you,
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you,
I felt joy of living,
I saw heaven in your eyes...
In your eyes...
Wish you were here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell...
And I'm feeling blue...
I miss your laugh, I miss your smile,
I miss everything about you...
Every second's like a minute,
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away...
The snow is getting colder, baby,
I Wish You Were Here...
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I Wish You Were Here...
I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you...
(end song)
His song rang in Yuki’s ears, tearing at his heart springs and bringing tears
to his eyes. ‘Why does Kyo sound do sad? Tohru just said she loved him, he
should be happy…’ Yuki thought as his mind became clouded with regret. He
listened closer to the tone of Kyo’s voice, but more importantly, the lyrics.
The music abruptly stopped and Yuki heard a poorly concealed sob. Kyo struggled
to hold his emotions inside but it was impossible, he began to cry again.
“So much misery, why?” Yuki whispered as he crept closer to Kyo’s doorway
to the door that was open only a sliver. He peeked around the corner and saw Kyo
sitting on his bed with his knees tucked under his chin, his orange bangs veiled
his face as he lay his forehead against his kneecaps. His arms were wrapped
around his calves and his guitar sat forlornly on the bed next to him, not
playing any more tunes of joy or angst.
Yuki opened his ears and listened anxiously to Kyo’s weeping for any sign of a
cause. After a few minutes he was a about to give up and go take a nap or shower
when he heard it, “I…I wish you were here…Yuki…”, Kyo gurgled and
continued crying again.
