Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Kyo's Kitten Reika ❯ Wide Eyed and Changes ( Chapter 14 )

Kyo was glad when they arrived at the apartment. Reika began to play on the counters when the phone rang.

 

“Hello?”

 

No answer.

 

“Hello?”

 

“Kyo…”

 

“Hatori? What's wrong?”

 

“Akito was bored and has decided that Reika doesn't belong with you… I'll be picking her up as soon as I get off the phone. Pack her things. You're still free, by the way, to do what ever you want.”

 

A familiar click and the other line went silent, a tear fell down his face as he looked at Reika and picked her up, holding her close to him and hugging her.

 

“What's wrong?” she asked as she wiped away a tear from his cheek.

 

“Come on, why don't we pack up.” Kyo took her to her room and sat on her bed with her still in his arms, hugging her tightly.

 

“Was it bad news on the phone?” she kissed his cheek when he nodded his head.

 

“Well don't worry, it'll get better.” Kyo wanted to tell her the truth, to shake his head no and leave, he was attached to her, but instead he nodded his head and helped her pack all of her stuff back into the boxes they had lying around in Kyo's closet.

 

Reika disappeared for a while before coming back to help him.

 

When the door rang, Kyo didn't bother to answer it; he added a few things from his room to the bottom of the box and picked her up.

 

Slowly walking to the door, Hatori entered and asked Kyo where everything was. Movers came in and took everything from the room.

 

“Reika, follow me.” Reika's eyes opened when Hatori said that.

 

“NO! Not again!” she cried as tears fell down her cheek. “I love my daddy, please let me stay!” She hugged Kyo's leg tightly as Hatori picked her up and brought her outside. She was hoping Kyo would follow them out, that he would fight to keep her, that he would watch her leave, but he didn't follow her out, he said goodbye and went to his room, staring at the pictures that had been taken of the two of them.

 

He knew he'd see her again, but it wouldn't be the same, after all, once a failure, always a failure. He shook his head. No, she didn't deserve it. He knew he had to do something, and he knew exactly what he'd do, as he picked up the telephone.
