Kingdom Hearts: The Love of the Neko and Riceball
Blue Kitsune: Ok decided to do a FrubaxKingdomHearts deal people, please tell me if it seems good enough as story goes. Read and review.
Tohru was busy in the kitchen of the Sohma, home of Shigure, Sohma-kun (Yuki) and Kyou as well as herself as part of their living resident, preparing dinner for the four of them. It's been two years since they took her in after her mother's passing and her living in a tent for a week. She smiled in remembering their kind generosity to allow her to stay in return of her cleaning the house and cooking. And also guarding their secret that no one else knew of in the Sohma family. Tohru was happily humming, thinking of the last few weeks of school.
'Oh Kaa-san I wish you were here to see this, graduation is just around the corner and it's almost time that I kept my promise.'
Her promise to her mom before she died was to finish high school in her place. So far things were faring well in her way.
'My grades are now more leveled and balanced thanks to Sohma-kun teaching and hard work that I place in studying. But what to do next, i'm not too sure, I mean should I plan to go to college or something? Sohma-kun and the others are. But I still have time to think this through.' Tohru smiled a bit as she fried the fish and cooked leeks before setting up the miso in the soup. Kyou wasn't a big fan of leeks but he very much prefers miso soup and fish than the leeks. She was glad to cook something for everyone even if some say that she put too much effort to cooking up just for everybody to enjoy.
'But I want them to like it, so I don't intrude them on being here even after living here two years.' She then was then going back to her fish when she heard footstep in the kitchen and turn to see Kyou coming in from the backyard.
"Ohayo Kyou-kun," She said brightly when he came in, "dinner will be ready in a few minutes." Kyou ignored her and head to the fridge to grab the carton of milk and taking long sips. She noticed two new marks on Kyou, one on his cheek and the other above his right eye. Another fight with Yuki and with the same results like all the others, oh dear.
She went over to him. "Kyou-kun are you alright?" He turned around and gave her the annoyed cat look, the one where he felt that one was going to be in range of his shouting and cursing of the rat for kicking his butt once again.
Ok he wasn't ok and that he was very pissed off. He walked away from her before bumping into Shigure who had come in to see what was cooking.
"Oh and what has our little flower cooked up this time?" He then noticed the sulking Kyou and the worry stare Tohru was looking over at him as he disappeared from the room. "Oh don't worry about Kyo-Kyo, he's having one of his better days compared to the rainy days and he'll be fine once he blow his steam." He said, trying to reassure Tohru when she was about to ask. She was like an open to him and he was a writer, so it was easy to read the expressions on the riceball's face. She looked over at him with the still concern on her face but believing Shigure's calm words, she relaxed her tension on herself. "Ok, if you say so…" But still staring out of the room to where Kyou had left them.
It was becoming late as Kyou didn't return for dinner and that it was getting close to eleven thirty. Tohru became worried and decided to go out and find him and see if he was any better or worse. 'Oh I hope Kyou's all right.' She prayed silently as she went to search in the forest.
Kyou was standing outside in the woods, kicking a tree with some hard blows to vent his rage on. 'Damn Rat! Damn him to hell!' His foot kicked harder and caused the tree to go in splinters and chips flying everywhere. Just like him and his anger. He felt nothing was calming him down and when he came into the kitchen and saw her, all he could do and wish was well….
'It stupid!' He thought, 'She wouldn't dare look at me like she would the rat! I can't stand it, that rat getting everything while I heal broken bruises and much more.'
Soon that was to change when graduation happened and then the time for the Cat would come. He hated the cat spirit, he hated himself.
"Dammit!" He hit his fist against the tree this time, causing a brutal mark into the tree. His entire arm shook and he was panting heavily when he heard his name being called.
Tohru.
"Kyou-kun, Kyou-kun." She called out, her voice full of concern and worry but that was not what he wanted now, her worrying and…
"Dammit!" He cried again and Tohru hearing his voice in that direction rushed over and saw him standing by the tree, shaking uneasily. "Kyou-kun!" She rushed over and tried to place a hand on his shaking shoulder but he got up and step away. "Kyou-kun…" Suddenly everything snapped inside Kyou and he took his rage out on the one person there.
"DOES THIS LOOK LIKE I'M OK TO YOU?!" He shrieked, "THAT BAKA NEZUMI BEAT ME AGAIN AND I'M GODDAMN PISSED OFF BECAUSE I'M BEING KICKED BY HIM AND WHAT ELSE IS THAT I CAN'T HAVE YO—" He stopped in mid-sentence and turned his back to her. He didn't want to see the look on her face when he did. He was sorry for doing such a thing to her, for yelling at her practically. It wasn't her fault that this was to happened, it was the cat's fate.
"Kyou." He turned and saw her eyes showing more of concern towards him than taking the shouting he did to her. He sigh mentally. One thing about her was she was too much concern on a person and tried to make better with all she could. One day she might lose everything.
"Tohru look, sorry I yelled ok. I was just damn pissed at the rat again and well…whatever let's go." He said, quickly grabbing her hand and then dragging her behind before she saw the flush that was coming to his face at that moment. He was never good at expressing his emotion other than the ones he usually did for yelling and such. Wish I could just tell her, just once… He turned and saw Tohru holding on still as they made it back to the house and went in. He then let go, although he regretted doing it, feeling her soft hands against his calloused palms was a tender feeling he enjoyed even if they couldn't hug because of the curse. Tohru was heading to the kitchen. "There's some food for Kyou I saved and will reheat it if you want. I'll just go and get it—" But she was stop short when Kyou went ahead of her and turned to her.
"Look just go and get some sleep, I can make my own dinner thanks. Go do whatever you want and I'll see you in the morning."
Tohru nodded and then went to the stairs. Before she headed to her room, she gave one last longing look to Kyou whose back was turn to her. Silently she headed to her room and shut the door behind.
Later that night, Tohru could barely sleep. Somehow after every night, she couldn't get the exact sleep she wanted. It happened a lot in her childhood throughout and she sometimes wondered if it was due to the weird dreams she had.
In it, there was a huge door and behind that door she sense something.
So weird, so cold, and covered in…. darkness. A lot of darkness with no light to come in. Tohru sat up and stood by the window, seeing her face reflect in the smooth surface. Her pj's top half was opened and she saw it, illumining in the moonlight. Her birthmark.
A crescent heart. It was so small yet it show brightovertheleft side ofher chest. She sometimes found it soothing yet curious of the strange mark on her. She touched it with her fingertips, feeling it warm and lighting. Sometimes she thought the mark meant something, but what, what could it mean?
I have been having these weird thoughts lately…like is any of this real…or not.
She sighed silently then started to hum the song that her mother use to sing to let her go to sleep and relax.
You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,
Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
She didn't even realized she was singing until she heard her own voice singing out the magical tune of her mother's lullaby, her words coming out on their own. But she didn't mind, because this came from her heart.
The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Tohru smiled as she sang the last verse as she went back and climb back into her bed. She closed her eyes and slept peacefully. She wasn't even aware that someone outside her door heard her singing.
Meanwhile other beings were stepping into the world through a portal unknown. These creatures, who were once beings of light now served under darkness. They were known as the 'Heartless'
And they were after the 'Hikari' the light.
