Sometimes It Be That Way

A Reason

Once again, he was lost. Not that he really minded as it got him away from
the more psychotic elements of his family. He himself was considerably psychotic
in his own right. Having two personalities wasn't something he particularly
enjoyed, but it was an excellent excuse all in all, the blame for his random
outbursts was never really cast on him. Well, on his 'white' side at least.

Hatsuharu looked up as rain began to fall in a slight drizzle. He sighed;
not only was he
lost, but now he was going to get thoroughly soaked to boot. What a day.

***

Kyou's day had gone from bad to worse. He was trying to sort out all his
jumbled thoughts at a deserted park when it had begun to rain. It started
out light at first, then turned into a steady downpour. He had taken shelter
in a children's playhouse that was in the park. It opened on one side to a
slide, but it had a roof to keep most of the rain out. Kyou drew his knees
up, wrapping his arms around them in a dry corner of the wooden structure
as he watched the rain pool on the far side by the slide.

The rain only served to drive his mood down into a deeper depression. Kagura
had told him today that the only reason she had wanted anything to do with
him initially was because he was more of a monster than she considered herself.
He told her he understood, but that didn't quell the numbing ache he felt
in his heart.

He had never felt any sort of love for her, that was true, but when she told
him that, it
only served to stab the knife of loneliness deeper into his near
dead heart. He really couldn't be loved. Love was something that would never
exist for him, just like Akito and Yuki had said.

He was a worthless creature.

For a while he dwelled on Tohru and her undying compassion and loyalty. She
was the only one it seemed, besides his Shishou, that gave a damn about him.
He tried to imagine
a life with her, wondering if he would be able to love her. Yet he didn't
know what love
was, and he was sure it was more of a brotherly
love he felt towards her in the long run. She doted on Yuki just as much,
if not more than she did on him. Kyou was grateful that she was in his life
at least; she would always be there for him in her own way.

His train of thought came back to what Kagura had said to him. She claimed
to truly love him now, but in no way did he want to be forced into marrying
her. He would rather be locked away forever than be forced into that.

Dropping his face to his knees he shivered involuntarily at the thought of
being put in that cage. No matter what the circumstances of his life, he never
wanted to be forced into that darkness. Yet it was his horrid luck that let
him be born the Cat. It was his fate.

He would have to accept his fate someday, and only now he let himself realize
that he wouldn't be able to live with his Shishou at the dojo. By deluding
himself for so long, he had come to believe his own lies.

As thunder rumbled in the distance, Kyou cried himself to sleep.

***

Finally he had found the main house again. Haru let himself in and took off
his coat, shaking it to rid it of the rain. He needed a hot shower and some
sleep; it had been a long day. He did a double take as he saw a familiar jacket
hung from the rack near the door.
So she was here was she? He took extra pains to avoid certain areas
of the house on the
way to his room.

As he passed Kagura's room, he heard her voice. Curiosity got the best of
him and he leaned closer to make out what the two juunishi were saying.

It was slightly muffled, but easy to understand. "So what did you say
then?" He heard Rin ask.

"I said…I-" Kagura hesitated, something akin to remorse tainted
her words. "said t-the only reason I wanted to be with him…"
She trailed off, Haru heard Rin gently urge her on. "was because he-
he was more of a monster than me…" Kagura finally finished.

Haru felt his brows furrow together in thought. Kagura was obviously talking
about Kyou. By his standards, that was some sick reasoning to want to be with
somebody.

"Why would you tell him that?" Rin queried from behind the closed
door.

Kagura's sniffles were audible, "I hope he'll realize how much I love
him…why we belong together…did I do the right thing?"

Rin chuckled, "Of course-

Haru felt sick to his stomach. He had heard enough, time for that shower
and bed.

***

Haru figured he should go back to class, but the day was much too nice out
and he had far too much on his mind. Eventually, he found his way to the stairs
leading to the roof, so he figured he'd go get a breath of fresh air.

Last night as he lay in bed, he contemplated what he had overheard to the
sound of the rain and Rin departing on her bike, he thought about the unfairness
of it all. For Kyou that was. Haru considered Kyou untouchable, the brash
exterior and harsh words easily lead one to believe that the juunishi cursed
by the Cat had a tendency to push people away. Haru felt that sometimes the
only way he could get close to the feline was to fight him. That was, until
Honda Tohru had stepped in and began to change both Kyou and Yuki.

Haru wondered how Kyou had dealt with what Kagura had told him. He didn't
know if he would be able to come to terms with such a one sided love. It ate
at him most the night in fact, and he had taken into consideration his own
one sided love. In the end, he decided it was best to let go. It was what
he would want in that situation, he would not attempt to force his own affections
on someone that didn't return them.

Besides, he could always look. No harm in sightseeing until he found someone
that would actually give him the time of day, and a reason…

A reason? What would that be? He wondered silently, turning the doorknob
and swinging the door open.

Light poured down, washing away the hazy hue of the stairwell as he stepped
out onto the roof. Haru shoved his hands into his pockets and felt his lips
twitch up in an involuntary smile. That's right; cats did love high places
he thought.

About twenty paces from him was Kyou. Back turned to Haru and curled up into
himself in a ball, looking much like the neko he personified, basking in the
sun sleeping.

Striding over to the sleeping figure, Haru gazed down at him. Haru let his
gray eyes wander over the soft expression on Kyou's relaxed face, silently
appreciating the exotic beauty before him. He couldn't help but sigh as strands
of orange hair seemed to float about the neko's face, another unattainable
beauty out of his reach. Haru at least wanted to know if Kyou's heart was
okay after the cruel words Kagura had imposed on it.

Sleepily, ruby eyes fluttered open, focusing on him. "What the hell
do you want baka ushi?!" Kyou muttered with a scowl.

Haru gave a slight shrug, then took a seat to one side of the neko's still
curled up form. "Just sorta wandered off…found myself here."
It was somewhat of a great measure, but Haru managed to pry his eyes from
the scalding red ones to stare out at the cloudless sky.

He received a grunt in response. Haru looked back down at Kyou only to see
the neko had closed his eyes again, attempting to resume his nap. What Kyou
didn't know, was that Haru wasn't quite done talking.

"You know," Haru began, receiving a sigh of dissatisfaction from
Kyou. "Rin left me because she couldn't deal with Akito. She said it
was over, and walked away from me without looking back. Just like that."
Haru couldn't help but let a sad smile grace his features. It matched the
bitterness in his voice.

"Well, you're an idiot for dwelling on it…she obviously wasn't
worth your time if she could just leave you like that." Was the grumbled
reply. Then, almost inaudibly, "I mean…if you love someone, you
can't just walk away from them…I think. You're really talking to the
wrong person about this." Kyou rolled over, facing away from Haru again.

"Am I?" Haru caught himself before his hand reached the shiny orange
locks of hair. When had he moved to touch Kyou's hair? The neko would sock
him if he tried something as simple as running his hands through that ginger
mane. He retracted his hand, settling for just watching the sleeping boy for
a bit longer.

He had started the brief conversation with every intention of finding out
the condition of Kyou's own heart, and he ended up with somewhat of a status
report on his own. How had that happened? Haru decided that he wouldn't attempt
to find his class again today, he had quite a bit more to think about…and
maybe, just maybe, he finally had a reason.
