Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ A Wolfs' Cry ❯ Chapter 4

"Well nice to know were all getting along very well now lets move or we'll be dead before we move a foot!" Yuki snapped as a few bullets came closer and closer to them. Yuki lead and Kyo was on the end shots were beginning to stop and in a few more minutes of running they stopped completely. A few seconds later they reached the Sohma house shots were no longer herd and Trinity smiled, "I think they gave up! Finally you can put me down and I can wrap my leg and maybe get some food and a shower… Oh, a shower sounds great don't you think Jackie? …Jackie?" Trinity looked at Jackie who had just put her down when she looked like she was listening to something or searching.

Yuki went inside the house to get Shigure and Kyo remained outside staring at them awkwardly until Jackie finally noticed and glared at him, "What are you looking at? If you got something to say just say it!" Kyo looked as if shed just ran up to him and slapped him. "I was … I mean… I… never mind it was nothing." Jackie was getting frustrated, " Well come on I don't have all day you know!" Kyo walked up to her and around as if examining a work of art, "I thought I was right you've been shot in more places than one and you still carried that girl who only sprained her ankle? That's unusual don't you think?" At that moment Jackie looked as if she were going to pounce and beat him but Yuki and the one they called Shigure emerged from the house with bandages and other stuff Trinity didn't recognize.

"Well, I see you to are getting along well." Shigure smirked then saw Trinity sitting on the ground, "And you must be the injured one hmmm…. Are you bleeding?" Trinity looked at her clothes and then at Jackie who was still staring eye to eye with Kyo. "No, this blood belongs to Jackie over there she was shot and" Jackie spun around so fast Trinity barely had time to comprehend that she even moved. "Trinity! I'm fine I don't need their help we're here to help your ankle remember so hurry up and get fixed because as soon as your done here we're gone got it!" Shigure looked at Jackie and then at Trinity who was fidgeting a little, "But what if I want to stay a little while? Have you ever thought about what I want? Do you even care about me? My feelings? Answer me!!" Jackie walked two steps toward her as if she was going to pick her up and shake her but suddenly she stopped and turned around and started for the exit. Trinity watched as tears flooded her eyes, "Why do you always become so distant from me? All I want is to be your friend and get to know you better." Jackie stopped and turned to face Shigure from a distance and even then her face stopped showing emotion again like a carved statue, "You." She pointed towards Shigure, "Hurry up and bandage her we have a long journey ahead and not enough time to sit in place." Kyo and Yuki just stood there very still as if they were caught in a trance. Yuki was the first to snap out of it and walked towards Trinity, "Don't touch her, just stay where you are and leave her alone it's bad enough I'm letting one of you help." Jackie scolded through clenched teeth. Shigure sighed, "Is she always so protective?" Trinity looked at Shigure and smiled, "Yah, only for my family." Shigure and Yuki looked confused and Kyo still looked in a trance. "What do you mean by that?" Shigure asked. "I mean every generation of our royal family had her as our guardian since heck I don't know… Jackie how old are you?" Jackie looked at Trinity and walked toward her, "Why are you telling them this Trinity there not our friends we don't even know them and your telling them your life story! Gees how dense are you?" Jackie scolded in a calm manner, which scared her even more than her yelling. Yuki looked at Trinity and smiled, "Your royalty? Awesome, princess or queen?" Trinity felt the blush come onto her face, "Princess." She said shyly. Shigure smiled and turned to Jackie, "Well she'll heal properly if she rests for a while you guys can stay here in the mean time." Jackie looked at Trinity who was starring at her and she probably didn't know she was holding her breath, waiting on her answer and Yuki looked and was doing the same. Kyo on the other hand still hasn't moved and inch, Jackie got irritated by that fact and sighed, "Well I don't feel like running right now and She needs her rest like you said so I guess I'm stuck here." Trinity and Yuki finally released their breath, but Kyo was still in the same place but now he was staring… at Jackie? Shigure walked up behind Kyo and smacked him on the back and nearly knocked him off balance. "Kyo, you keep staring and freezing up like that she's going to think of you as an idiot you know that right?" Whispered Shigure. Kyo blushed, "Who? What are you talking about?" Shigure smiled slyly. "YOU! HANDS OFF!!" Kyo and Shigure jumped and looked over to the commotion. Yuki who was going to pick up Trinity and move her to a room, was now being yelled at by Jackie and turning into a puddle. Trinity went pile but even there decided to yell back at Jackie, "What do you think your doing! He's just trying to help!" Jackie growled, "So! I don't care if he was your long lost brother he's not laying a finger on you while I'm around got it!" Trinity gathered her courage and said, "Well if your going to act like that I order you to lighten up and get to know them better! I think they're nice and would never plan on hurting me so what do you say? Will you stop being so protective and be nice or am I going to have you sleep outside?" Jackie paced around and then stopped. "I always sleep outside any way I don't see the point is in thinking your making me do it… but fine do what you want I'll be around when you need me." She looks at Yuki and sneers, "You better not drop her or I'll kill you in your sleep!!" Yuki sighed, "Your as bad as Kyo, man never thought there can be another person with such a one track mind, oh well, I promise I won't drop her." Kyo sneered and walked inside the house Yuki followed with Trinity in his arms. Shigure on the other hand walked towards Jackie who was pacing around and circles at the time. "You know we'd never hurt anyone who comes for help especially girls." He smiled at Jackie who stopped pacing and stood at his feet a second later, "Should I hit you now or wait till' you stick your foot in your mouth again? Just remember who your talking to and don't underestimate me because that'll be your downfall…"
