Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Kyo's Kitten Reika ❯ Disobey ( Chapter 16 )

“Sorry about this, she just ran off.” Ayame sat down on the couch and crossed his legs. He took a sip of the tea Kyo had made him and sighed. “I've been thinking, and it is for the best that she stays with you. Akito doesn't have to know.”

 

Kyo clenched his fists as he attempted to think of a way to explain what was going on. “Ayame, I made a deal with Akito.” Hatsuharu looked at the two and walked out. He told Ayame he would be stealing Reika for the day, and then left with the still sleeping girl in his arms.

 

“You what?” Ayame set the cup on the coffee table. “Kyo, what did you do?”

 

Kyo unclenched his fist, “It doesn't matter, what's done is done.” Ayame watched Kyo sit down on the arm of the couch.

 

“Kyo, you got in to deep, didn't you… I know a way you and Reika could get out.” Ayame looked at the male in front of him.

 

“What do you mean?” Kyo asked.

 

_-_-_-_-_- Meanwhile _-_-_-_-_-

 

“Look, all you do is aim the football and throw it through the tire, if you do it once, you get some small prize, if you do it twice, you get a medium prize, but if you get it through three times, you get a big thing.”

 

“Can I try it?” Reika looked up at Haru wide-eyed. Haru laid the money down and a man with a mustache laid down three footballs. Reika picked one up and threw it as hard as she could, but the football curved a little to the left.

 

“Try to aim, don't close your eyes.” Haru commented as he lifted her onto his shoulders. Reika threw it again and it barely made it through the tire.

 

“Your turn!” Haru set Reika down onto the grass in front of the booth. He picked up the football and threw it strait through the center of the tire.

 

“And we have a winner!” The strange man said. “What would you like? We have these stuffed animals, fantastic clocks, and even a big balloon, so what will it be?”

 

Haru looked at Reika and asked her to pick. “That.” She pointed to a stuffed animal. The man handed her the animal and smiled.

 

“This is for you!” Reika passed the stuffed cow to Haru.

 

“Thanks, you are the cheese to my macaroni.”

 

“You are so weird!” Reika smiled. “Can we go now?”

Haru looked shocked, “We just got here. Besides, you haven't even gone on a roller coaster yet.”

 

_-_-_-_-_- Back at the House _-_-_-_-_-

 

“Thanks Ayame, I'll be ready by five.” Kyo watched Ayame leave and then went to work with the plan. If it worked, no one would be locked up, if it didn't, well, Kyo shook his head and tried not to think about that.

 

Someone knocked on the door. Kyo rushed over to it hoping to see Haru and Reika. “Oh, Arisa, its you.”

 

“Glad to see you too, Carrot Top.” Arisa walked into the apartment in shock. “What happened, did you get robbed or something?”

 

“Funny.” Kyo shut the door and watched her, “So what brings you here?”

 

“You know, I was thinking about stuff and got bored. Why?”

 

“It ain't like your always over here you.” Kyo looked at Arisa. “You cut your hair.”

 

“You noticed? I was getting tired of it, you know? Besides, I'm going to college. I wanted a fresh start.” Arisa looked around the room confused, “Where'd you loose the kid to?”

 

“I didn't loose her.” Kyo snapped.

 

“Geese, I didn't know it was a touchy subject.” Arisa lounged on the couch.

 

“She isn't living with me any more.”

 

“Oh, I'm sorry. What happened?” Arisa sat up and pulled Kyo down onto the couch next to her.

 

“Issues, I'm actually getting ready to move, so if you don't mind…” Arisa pulled Kyo back onto the couch.

 

“Sit down, look, repressing emotions isn't good for you.” Arisa tucked a strand of her now shoulder length hair behind her ear.

 

“Look who's talking.” Kyo muttered.

 

“Where are you moving to?”

 

“Don't know, I just need to get away.”

 

“Well, Carrot Top, I'm moving to England. I know, I know, you'll miss me when I'm gone.” Arisa started.

“I won't miss you, and quit calling me carrot top!”

 

“If you need to get away, we can always share a house.”

 

“I'm taking Reika with me, I doubt that you'd have space.” Kyo muttered under his breath.

 

“Wait, back up. You aren't kidnapping her or anything, are you?” Arisa looked shocked.

 

“No, stupid, she was temporarily living with Yuki's older brother, and now that I'm leaving she's coming with me.”

 

“That's fine, I'll just ask Saki if we can store another person. Her dad bought her a four bedroom house.”

 

“Look, I have a plane to catch. You said you're leaving, well, I'll be in London. Here's the number, and I'll start to set stuff up, call if you change your mind. See you there Carrot Top!” Arisa ruffled Kyo's hair and left.

 

“I don't think I ever agreed to that.” Kyo walked over to the phone and dialed Ayame's number. “Hey, it's Kyo.”

 

“Have you decided? I took the money out of your account, and I have her stuff all packed. It's two carry-on items each and I can pay for you both to have two stored items under the plane.”

 

“How soon can you get me to London, England?” Kyo asked.

 

“Tomorrow morning.”

 

“Okay, thanks.” Kyo hung up the phone and continued packing stuff he knew that he would need. The phone rang and Kyo picked it up.

 

“You hung up on me!” Ayame whined.

 

“Sorry, I'm sort of in a rush.”

“I'm packing some clothes for both of you because she really doesn't own much, and I have a ticket for Hatsuharu.”

 

“He isn't going.” Kyo snapped.

 

“Kyo, you lived with Haru for a while now, Akito will go down on him hard if you and Reika disappear.”

 

“Fine, I'll pack his stuff too.”

 

“I have the passports ready, and Haru and Reika's money are in an envelope in Reika's carry-on.”

 

“You were planning this the whole time, weren't you!”

 

“Haru is already packed. He did it this morning.”

 

“Thanks. I have a place to stay, I'll sent you the number once I've heard that Akito calmed down.”

 

“I'll see you in the morning.”

 

“Yeah, bye.” A click sounded from the other end, so Kyo hung up the phone and went back to packing. He only left the big items of furniture and a note for Momiji to take anything that he wanted.

 

By the time Kyo had finished and took a shower, someone knocked on the door impatiently.

 

Kyo pulled on his shirt as he opened the door.

 

“Guess what, I rode a roller coaster!” Reika hugged Kyo.

 

“I'll be in my room if you need me.” Haru dragged a stuffed animal into his room.

 

“Umm… where is everything?” Reika looked around.

 

“Reika, you're moving back with me and Haru.”

 

“Really? Yeah!”

 

“However, we're all going on a plane soon, so why don't you go lay down.”

 

Reika looked confused, but ran into Kyo's room and plopped down onto the empty mattress. Looking around, all she could see were suitcases. Shrugging her shoulders, Reika sat down and listened as Kyo made a phone call.
