Promise
What would you say if I asked you not to go
To forget everyone, forget everything and start over with me
Kyo yawned and stretched out as his eye adjusted to the new
day. He slowly got up and did his morning ritual that he did everyday. He took
a shower, straightened out his hair, and got dressed. As he was brushing his
teeth he heard a voice at the door, he instantly recognized it as Yuki’s.
“Kyo, Shigure got us some breakfast. It’s ready downstairs.”
“Okay, I’ll be right down.”
Kyo put a shirt on and headed downstairs.
Would you take my hand and never let me go
Promise me you'll never let me go
Kyo looked at Shigure “Good morning everyone.”
Shigure and Yuki gave him a slight nod as Kyo sat down at
the table. The three of them ate in silence; they didn’t even look at each
other. When Kyo finished he got up and put his plate in the sink.
“Yuki, we better get going, we don’t want to be late for
class.”
Yuki nodded, he put his plate away and grabbed his backpack.
They both headed for the door.
And now the stars aren't out tonight,
But neither are we to look up at them
Why does hello feel like goodbye?
“Well see you later Shigure, try and have dinner ready when
we get back.” Said Yuki
Shigure nodded “I’ll do what I can, you guys take care.”
Yuki nodded “Okay see ya later.”
Shigure watched as they disappeared from view. He sighed and
ran a hand through his hair. Yuki had told him everything Kyo was planning. He
knew he should try and stop him, but a part of him wanted to see the look on
Akito’s face when he found out they got back together.
“Kyo… I hope you know
what you’re doing.”
These memories can't replace,
These wishes I wished and dreams I chased
Take this broken heart and make it right
“Kyo are you sure you want to go through with this?”
Kyo nodded “I think this is the most sure I’ve ever been in
my life.”
“But you remember what Akito said; he said he’d make her
suffer.” Said Yuki
Kyo gritted his teeth “He won’t touch her, he can lock me
away for an eternity, but he will never make her suffer.”
“In that case, I’ll be with you every step of the way.” Said
Yuki with a smile.
Kyo looked at him and smiled. The two continued walking in
until they reached the school grounds.
I feel like I lost everything when you're gone
Left remembering what it's like to have you here with me
Kyo suddenly froze, there in front of him was Tohru, standing
by herself. He took a deep breath and started walking towards her. He stopped
suddenly at the sound of Yuki’s voice.
“I know what you’re thinking, but class starts in 5 minutes.
You won’t have enough time to say what you want to say. As hard as it is, you
have to wait.”
Kyo closed his eyes and sighed “Your right.”
Kyo watched as she walked inside the school.
Yuki patted him on the back “Don’t worry Kyo; you’ll get
your chance. Let’s get inside”
Yuki and Kyo walk inside the school and into there
classrooms as the bell rang
I thought you should know,
You're not making this easy
The teacher began her lecture but Kyo wasn’t listening. He
had far more important matters on his mind. He looked over at Tohru who was
seated about 3 students in front of him. He sighed deeply as his mind began to wander.
“Tohru… what am I
going to do? It’s not like I can talk to you as if you still know me. How do I
go on with this, how will you react towards me? Will you reject me, or is there
still a place for me in your heart?”
I never thought I'd be the one to say
“Kyo Sohma.”
Kyo suddenly snapped back to attention “Yes mam?”
“For this assignment you will be paired with Miss Tohru
Honda.”
Kyo’s jaw hit the floor, what were the odds of this ever
happening. He looked over at Yuki, a look of pure shock on his face. He then
looked over at Tohru; she smiled and waved at him. Kyo gulped and nervously
waved back. Meanwhile the teacher had paired off everyone else in the class and
told them to get together with their partners.
Please don't,
well please don't leave me
Tohru walked over to Kyo and extend her hand.
“Hello Kyo, I’m Tohru but I guess you already knew that. I
just wanted to introduce myself again; anyways I’m really looking forward to
working with you.”
Kyo was barley able to hold back his tears as he heard her
say his name. He regained his composure grabbed her hand and smile at her.
“The pleasure is all mines Tohru.”
Tohru smiled “I’m glad, so what do you think about the
project were doing?”
I feel like I lost everything when you're gone
Left remembering what it's like to have you here with me
Kyo looked down and scratched his neck “Yeah about that… I
kinda wasn’t paying much attention in class today. So I don’t know a thing
about it.”
Tohru giggled “You’re funny, but don’t worry It shouldn’t be
too hard. We have three weeks to do a presentation on the history of the
Chinese zodiac and its effect on today society.”
Kyo smiled “In that case I have a feeling that this will be
the easiest assignment of the year.”
Tohru patted him on the back “That’s the spirit; I just know
you and me will get along great. Anyways about the project I was wondering how
we should do this. Should I come over to your house to study or should you come
over to mine? It doesn’t matter to me either way I just want to know what you think.”
Kyo thought for a second “How about you come over to my
place. We have a large study area and an endless supply of snacks.”
Toru grinned “That sounds great to me.”
I thought you should know,
You're not making this easy
The class bell rang; Tohru looked at the clock then at Kyo.
“Well I have to go, I’m going to be to busy with my job
today but I think I’ll be able to come over tomorrow. Anyways it was very nice
to meet you Kyo, I’ll see ya tomorrow.”
Kyo nodded “Same here, you have a safe trip home Tohru.”
She nodded, smiled, and walked out of class. For awhile Kyo
just sat there thinking about what had happened. Yuki walked over to him “What
just happened?”
Kyo looked at him “She’s coming over to the house tomorrow… And
I think she likes me.”
“I think it’s still
too early to tell, we’ll have to wait and see till tomorrow to find out more
how she really feels,” Yuki paused and grinned at him “But if you want my
honest opinion, I think she does too.”
Kyo leaned back into his chair and smiled “Yuki, I think
life is gonna get a lot better for us all.”
You're not making this easy (easy, easy, easy...)
Next day at school, Lunch time
Kyo was sitting by himself eating lunch when all of a
sudden, Tohru walked up to him.
“Hey Kyo, how are you doing today?”
Kyo smiled “Very good, how are you?”
“I’m fine, do you mind if I sit next to you for lunch?”
Kyo’s jaw dropped for a moment, he was speechless. “Snap out of it Kyo!”
“Uhh, sure, I don’t mind at all.”
Tohru smiled and sat down next to him.
“So, do you have any ideas for the project?”
Kyo grinned slightly “As a matter of fact, I did some
studying last night and came up with a whole bunch of ideas.”
“That’s great! That means we can start right after school.”
Take my hand and never let me go,
Kyo nodded “That’s right… hey since were going to my house
you wanna walk home together?”
Tohru smiled “Sure I’d love to.”
Kyo smiled, the bell suddenly rang signaling lunch was over.
“Time to go inside, how about we meet at the front of the
school when class is over?” Asked Kyo
“Sounds good to me; I’ll see you after class.”
Kyo nodded and watched as she walked off to her classroom.
Take my hand and never let me go,
After school
Kyo walked up to Tohru as she waited for him at the front of
the school
“Hey Tohru; you ready to go?”
Tohru nodded “Yep all ready to go.”
Tohru and Kyo began to walk home. As they walked Tohru began
talking about the project, but at that moment Kyo wasn’t paying attention. He
just stared at her, almost in a trance like state. He wanted nothing more than
to reach over and take her hand in his.
“No I must restrain
myself, I can’t lose her again…”
Kyo glanced forward and noticed they were almost home. As he
looked more closely he could see Shigure waiting for them outside.
Promise me...
You'll never let go
Shigure walked up to Kyo and Toru “Ah hello Kyo how was your
day today.”
“It was fine,” She glanced over at Tohru “Tohru this is
Shigure the man that I live with, Shigure this is Tohru, my classmate.”
Shigure smiled “Oh so you’re Tohru. Kyo has told me about
you. He said that you are a very beautiful girl. But I must say that the words
don’t do you justice.”
Tohru lowered her head smiled and blushed slightly. Kyo shot
him a glare which he playfully ignored.
“Well anyways I figure you two must be hungry, I’ll prepare
some snacks. And Tohru, when it’s time for you to leave I’ll drive you home,”
He looked at Kyo “Hatori let me borrow the car.”
Kyo nodded, and Shigure walked away. He turned around and
looked at who was still smiling with a little blush on her face.
“He certainly is a charmer.”
Kyo grinned “You say that now but wait till you get to know
him. Anyways lets get started now shall we?”
Tohru nodded “Sure thing Kyo.”
You'll never let go
You'll never let go
3 hours later
“Wow Kyo this is amazing. We’ve only been working on this
for a couple of hours and were almost finished already. How do you know so much
about this?”
Kyo grinned “Let’s just say it’s something my family knows a
lot about.”
“I’ll say, at this rate we’ll be done in only a few days.”
Kyo noticed a hint of disappointment in her voice “Is there
something wrong?”
Tohru looked down “It’s just… well I was just getting to
know you. I don’t know how to explain it, but I want to spend more time with
you. I want to get to know you more.”
Kyo had to fight off the cry of joy that threatened to
escape form his lips. Everything he had dreamed was falling exactly into place.
He placed a hand on her shoulder “You know just because we
finish early doesn’t mean we have to stop seeing each other. You can still come
by after school and we can still sit together at lunch.”
Tohru looked up at him and smiled “Your right, I completely
forgot about that. This makes me feel much better.”
Kyo smiled back “Me too Tohru.”
You'll never let go
Make this last forever
Sure enough they finished the project in only a few days,
but Tohru still came over everyday. As the days went by Kyo and Tohru started
becoming much closer. Since they had no more schoolwork, they would frequently
take walks to see the sunset or the stars. And if they weren’t doing that, they
would watch a movie in the living room. For Kyo, he felt like his dream was
finally actually coming true. He felt like he had achieved what was said to be
impossible. Now all that was left was for Kyo to tell her his true feelings,
but would Tohru share them?
I feel like I lost everything when you're gone
Left remembering what it's like to have you here with me
3 weeks later
Kyo turned off the TV and looked at Tohru “So what did you
think of the movie.”
“It was really funny, I loved it,” she stretched a bit and
then sat up. “Well it’s getting late, I’d better be getting home soon, I’ll go
get Shigure.”
Kyo sat up “Actually if it would be alright with you, I’d
like to walk you home.”
Tohru gave him a concerned look “Oh you don’t have to do
that. I don’t want to trouble you.”
Kyo shook his head “It’s no trouble really, I’d be glad to
do it.”
Tohru smiled “If you really want to than okay.”
She took Kyo’s hand they began to walk home.
I thought you should know,
you're not making this easy
For the most part the walk was in silence, with the occasionally talk
about the project. Kyo glanced at her; she was looking at the ground and had a
nervous look on her face. He looked up at the night sky; it was bright with the
light from the stars. As they approached her house he took a deep breath; he
knew now was the time to tell her, but how? When they reached the front door
Tohru turned around to face him.
“Well Kyo I guess this is good night… thanks for waling me
home.”
Kyo nodded “Sure no problem.”
Tohru slowly turned around and started to walk inside
“Tohru wait!”
Tohru turned back around “What is it Kyo?”
You're not making this easy
Kyo lowered his head “Tohru I need to tell you something but
I’m afraid that if I do, you may never want to talk to me again.”
Tohru shook his head “Kyo, I’d never do that to you… don’t
be afraid, just say it.”
Kyo looked up at her “It’s
now or never… It’s hard to put it in words…” His mind was still racing as
he thought of how to say it. He thought back to the time when he told her he
loved her. He then knew what he had to say.
You're not making this easy
“As far as I can remember, I’ve only been in love once. She
was this beautiful girl who always knew how to put a smile on my face. When I
was around her, it was like nothing else mattered. She was always there for me
when I needed her the most. I wouldn’t be the man I am now if it wasn’t for
her. I loved her more than anything else in this world,” He paused as he
lowered his head “But then one day, she left me. I know she did it for a good
reason, but every time I think bout it… it hurts. It has been over 1 year since
that day, and not a moment has gone by where I haven’t thought about it,” He
looked back up at her, tears running from his eyes. “I’d never thought I’d meet
anyone else that would make me feel the way I was when I was with her. But then
I met you… and all theses feelings I thought were gone have came back. These 3
weeks of being with you, have been the best days I’ve had in a long time. I
finally know what it means to be truly happy again, and I owe it all to you. I
guess what I’m trying to say is that I…
I…,”
You're not making this easy
Kyo was suddenly interrupted as Tohru ran down the stairs,
placed a hand on his cheek and kissed him. Kyo went ridged, Tohru quickly
pulled back, her face bright red.
“I’m sorry Kyo I didn’t mean to surprise you like that.”
Kyo regained his composure and smiled. He gently cupped her
face and kissed her softly. This time they both kissed back. Kyo wrapped one
arm around her neck, but kept just enough distance so not to transform. After
what seemed like an eternity they both reluctantly pulled back. They both
looked at each other and stared into each others eyes.
Tohru ran a finger down his cheek “Kyo… I don’t know if I’ll
ever make you as happy as that other girl. But I want you to know that I’ll
always be there for you. And that I will love you with all my heart.”
You're not making this easy
Kyo took her hands in his “I will always be happy with you Tohru.”
Neither wanted the moment to end, but they knew that they
needed to rest.
Tohru smiled “Well Kyo… I guess we should get going. I’m
going to be busy tomorrow but we can see each other the next day, if that’s
okay with you.”
Kyo smiled “That’s fine by me… Goodnight Tohru.”
“Goodnight Kyo.”
They kissed each other once more and both went there
separate ways.
I'll fall asleep tonight,
cause that brings me closer to you
As Kyo approached the house he quickly wiped his eyes. He
was running the whole time as tears of genuine happiness came down his face. He
opened the door and saw Yuki and Shigure staring at him, a look of dread on
there faces.
“What’s wrong guys?”
“While you were gone Akito called.” Said Shigure
Yuki looked at him sorrowfully “He said that he wanted to
see you in the morning… inside the Sohma main house.”
Kyo nodded, he didn’t need to be told the reason why. He
wished them both goodnight and headed to his room. As he laid down he thought
briefly his confrontation with Akito. But he quickly pushed it out of his mind
as he thought about Tohru. A smile came
to his face as he closed his eyes.
“Tohru… I don’t know
what will become of me tomorrow. But what ever happens, I will face it without
fear. Because I have you again, and I promise you I’ll never let you go... I
love you.”
End
Once again I
apologize to all of those who have waited so long for this. I promise I’ll do
everything I can to get the next part out soon. Now originally this was going
to be a 3 part story but I decided to make another chapter about Tohru and
Kyo’s past relationship as well as a confrontation between Akito and Kyo. For
that chapter I’ll be using the Senses Fail song “Bloody Romance” (The ONLY good
Senses Fail song). Also on a minor note I thought I should clear up the time
gap issue between Kyo and Tohru’s separation. As said in the chapter Kyo and
Tohru had been separated for more than a year. Also I should point out that
part 1 (The Shooting Star That Destroyed Us All) takes place on exactly 1 year
since Tohru’s memory was erased. Just
thought you should all know that. Anyways that’s all for now, like I said I’ll
do my best to make updates more frequent. Also loved it/hated it, let me know
what you think. Remember I enjoy all kinds of feedback, including criticism (As
long as it’s constructive) So until then…
