Chapter 3
Back at the summer home, everyone else had returned from visiting Akito several hours ago and had found neither Tohru nor Kyo waiting for them. At first, they thought the two had simply taken a walk, but as day turned to evening, they began to worry.
Momiji and Kisa hovered near Shigure, hoping the mischievous dog would miraculously give them an answer on Tohru’s whereabouts. Shigure, for his part, was wondering what naughty things Kyo had devised to steal Tohru’s innocence and vaguely wishing it could have been him instead of the cat. Hatori sat silent, smoking a cigarette and appearing to be oblivious to everyone else’s worries. However, he was in reality every bit as worried as the others, perhaps more so, since as he was leaving the other house he’d heard Akito mention desiring to go on a walk, alone. Hatori only hoped Kureno had decided to go with the god and that neither Tohru nor Kyo ran into the frail man. Hatsuharu sat watching Yuki and wondered what could have the rat looking so serious. Surely, Yuki wasn’t exactly an overly joyous person, but it was rare anymore for him to be so somber, especially when Kyo was away. Perhaps it was the fact not only was Kyo gone, but Tohru with him? Yuki, not wanting to think about what could be happening between the stupid cat and his Tohru, tried his best to forget how she had dashed after Kyo. With a start, he realized he thought of her as his, and this thought occupied his mind for a while. Did one kiss make her his? Certainly not, but the thought wouldn’t quite leave his mind. ‘She’s not mine, no matter how much I would like for her to be. Not yet at any rate. And the way she ran after that stupid cat, it’s almost enough to make me think she loves him instead. No. I can’t think like that. But where could the two of them be all day? I’m sure they’re together out there, wherever they are. And she’s probably being her sweet adorable self, calming him down. Maybe he tried something? She’d never go along with it, if she knew what he was trying to do. But it’s her, I’m sure she wouldn’t understand.’ Yuki’s eyes widened at the thought of Kyo coaxing Tohru to let him do certain unmentionable things to her. He could clearly picture her blush as the cat touched her. Yuki shook the thought from his head, alarmed at the fe
eling of jealousy rising in him as the image plagued his mind. Nevertheless, the thought refused to completely leave, and he remained lost in his own thoughts until a very dirty and disheveled Kyo stumbled through the door.
Immediately everyone surrounded the tired cat, bombarding him with questions.
“Where were you?”
“Where is Onee-chan? She was with you, right?”
“You haven’t been doing anything untoward to our precious Tohru-kun, have you?”
“Kyo! Where’s Tohru?”
“What happened to your clothes? They’re so dirty!”
Bewildered, Kyo finally broke free from the crowd surrounding him and yelled at everyone to be quiet.
“Why do you keep asking me about Tohru? I haven’t seen her all day. Why don’t you ask that damn rat what he did with her?” Everyone’s eyes turned to Yuki, who blushed furiously.
“I didn’t do anything. Not like that. No, nothing like that. Shigure, stop looking at me like that,” Yuki babbled, uncharacteristically flustered by everyone’s stares. Then he managed to regain his composure as he said, “And I haven’t seen her since this morning, how am I supposed to know where she is?”
Everyone turned back to Kyo expectantly.
“Damn rat, you know that’s not true! I saw you with her! If anyone would know where she is it would be you!”
“And I said I haven’t seen her since this morning. That’s not a lie. Why would I bother lying to such a simple-minded fool?”
“Why you! Come here and say that to my face!” Kyo moved to punch Yuki’s lights out, a move that would probably have failed, when it suddenly dawned on him what they had actually been arguing about. “What? If no one has seen her since this morning, that means she’s not here. And that also means no one knows where she is. Why hasn‘t anyone gone looking for her?” Kyo asked, suddenly scared as the thought of Tohru, lying in the woods broken and bleeding, rushed through his mind.
As some of them were preparing to respond, a man came up to the door and knocked. Answering it, Shigure looked surprised.
“Kureno-kun! What are you doing here?”
“Well, I don’t know exactly how to say this, but has anyone seen Akito? He went on a walk alone some time ago, and I’m beginning to get worried.”
Upon hearing this, Yuki and Kyo glared at each other before dashing out the door and into the trees, nearly running over Shigure and Kureno in the process.
