Chaptire 2
Kyo couldn't find anything to wear to that stupid party tonight. He was hopeless. He honestly didn't care about how snazzy he looked but he kind of wanted to impress Tohru and maybe sweep her off her feet. When did he start thinking like a love struck pansy? Kyo sighed furiously. he hated how she made him like this. He felt weak and stupid. Kyo was desperate. He got up the courage to get dressed in his regular grey waistcoat and breeches. His black coat and black leather, buckled shoes. He then left the mansion to meet a "friend" of his.
He was going to regret it later but he was in serious need of advice. If he wanted to impress "his" girl he would need a top of the line suit, maybe a fancy hat with a feather? Kyo punched the brick fence and cursed himself for doing it. "Ow Fuck!" the towns people stared at him with astonishment at his vulgar language. He glared at them and continued walking down the cobblestone streets. The town buzzed with people. The wealthy with their beautiful assortment of color gowns and suits.
Poor people with less fancy clothes that were dirt covered and they actually looked like they worked for a living. The sound of hooves trotting on the stone as the horses carried the stagecoaches. The chattering of the people as they bartered with the marketers. The smell of smoke mixed with the aroma of fresh fruit, pastries, and perfume. Kyo despised the town. He'd rather be in the woods or in a secluded house on a farm in Brecon. Dammit! How did all his thoughts wander to something about Tohru?
"hey handsome looking for some entertainment?" said a cheap looking whore. She had way too much make up on her face, attempting to cover the blemishes. Her breasts burst out of her tight corset and she smelled of smoke and sex.
"Get away from me." Kyo pushed her gently aside. He was starting to get angry. The prostitute persisted to bother him.
"Come on baby. I know I'm not the prettiest gal here-"
"You got that right." He commented and quickened his pace. She scoffed and walked with him.
"But I know how to handle a man. I'll even give you a discount."
"I said no." This time he really pushed her and she was knocked to the ground. Most of the townspeople laughed and pointed at the whore. Saying vulgar things to her and making fun. Suddenly Tohru was kneeling by the whore and was helping the girl to stand up. Tohru dusted the girls dress and handed her gold coins.
"Bless you." The prostitute thanked Tohru then walked to Kyo. She spit on his face. Kyo was pissed. He wiped the saliva from his cheek and slapped the prostitute across the face. The next thing he knew, a hand collided with his cheek. It stung and his hand held his face. He looked to Tohru who had tears in her eyes and she looked a little angry, but sorry at the same time.
"That's what you deserve you bastard!" The whore called before running off. Kyo was ashamed and looked away from Tohru's gaze.
"Kyo-kun I didn't believe it was you at first. How could you hit a woman?" Tohru seemed deeply hurt. Like he had disappointed her.
Kyo shrugged and finally met her brown eyes. "You-you should hit me again." Her eye brows furrowed.
"I don't want to hurt you again. I'm sorry about that it's just…I'm sorry." Kyo tensed as Tohru's face moved closer to his swollen cheek. Her soft lips grazed the sore spot and it tingled. The hairs on Kyo's neck stood on end and he shivered. Her kiss was tantalizing and it made his heart yearn. "So were you shopping for Sohma-kun?"
Kyo snapped out of his daze, "No I was on my way to visit-someone."
"Oh alright. Then I shall see you later tonight?" Tohru smiled and Kyo's heart skipped a beat. This is chance to be alone with her and she was about to leave.
"Um actually, would you-do you want to-I mean-" what a great time to forget how to talk. "You want to come with me?" He blurted out. She smiled even bigger and nodded.
"I'd love to." They continued down the streets, actually having a conversation. She laughed and Kyo would smile once in a while. He talked about mostly how he liked to fight and liked to work hard. She spoke about the wealthy life because he was interested and how she loved being outside. After a while they arrive outside a quaint little house. Trees encompassed the area and a dog was running around the yard.
"This is it." Kyo said as he opened the small iron gate and let Tohru enter. She stared at the greenness of the grass and the trees. The collection of flowers scattered everywhere.
"Beautiful." Tohru was entranced.
"Beautiful." Kyo said to Tohru quietly. She smiled at his flattery and he immediately blushed. He never said things like that to a girl. God this girl was killing him. They heard a screen door open and clang shut. Kyo smirked and Tohru looked on in amazement.
The man standing on the porch had light grey hair and welcoming face. His waistcoat was a rich yellow with fine embroidery on it. A black solitaire(1) was tied around his neck loosely. His knee high breeches matched the yellow waistcoat. He wore no shoes. Tohru giggled at his bare toes. "Kyo-kun. It's been a long time since you've dropped by." The man walked down the stairs and crossed the yard. He was only a foot from Kyo and Tohru now. The man suddenly punched Kyo in the face, flinging the orange haired boy to the ground. Tohru gasped and ran to Kyo's side.
Kyo stood and charged for the man, "Good to see you too master." Kyo jumped in the air and his foot collided with the older man's side. They stopped, coughing and panting a little. After fixing themselves and brushing off dirt. "This is Tohru Honda." Tohru curtsied, her eyes wide from the scene that had just occurred. "Tohru-kun this is my master, Shishou."
"It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful lady." He bowed and took her hand. Lightly he kissed the skin. Tohru's face was bloodshot red.
"Oh um thank you very much. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Sorry if we startled you. It's an age old tradition. Since Kyo was a tiny baby still crying for his mother bosom." Tohru laughed and Kyo blushed profusely.
"Shishou-san you're funny." Tohru continued laughing. Kyo smiled and lightly knuckled her head.
"Quit laughing it wasnt that funny!" Shishou watched Kyo and Tohru together and couldn't help but smile.
"Please come in and we'll talk some more." Shishou escorted them into the house and they sat down on an old-fashioned French couch. Tea and crackers were sitting on the table which they snacked on. "So Kyo-kun, I know you haven't just stopped by for a visit. What is you need?"
Kyo swallowed hard. "can we talk alone." Kyo stood and walked away. Shishou smiled at Tohru and then followed Kyo into the hallway. "There's a party tonight at Rin's home. I don't have anything to wear." Kyo looked embarrassed as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"You've never cared about what you look like at outings." Shishou said curiously.
"Yeah well I changed a little." He noticed Kyo's gaze glance to Tohru whom was looking at old portraits on the living room wall. And he suddenly got the hint.
"I think I have my old suit here somewhere." Kyo looked back to Shishou's grey eyes a small smile on his lips.
"Thanks Shishou." Kyo punched his masters arm playfully.
"Anything for you son." He rubbed his orange hair, messing it up. Kyo went back to the room as Shishou walked to his bedroom, he scrounged in his closet until a finally found a square box. He met the two outside. Tohru was swinging on the wooden swing attached to the tree. Kyo pushed her back and forth.
"Kyo-kun, I found it." Kyo ran over to him and took the box.
"Will it fit?" Kyo opened the cardboard lid and looked at the clothing in astonishment. "I'll give it back as soon as I'm done with it." Shishou shook his head back and forth.
"I want you to keep it. I don't have anymore use for it now do I?" Shishou smiled and patted Kyo on the shoulder. "I'm so proud of you Kyo-kun. She's an amazing girl." Kyo blushed and glanced to Tohru who was now playing with the dog.
"She's Yuki's." Kyo admitted shamefully.
"Tohru is not anyone's anything. She doesn't belong to Yuki and she isn't some piece of fine furniture. You cant own a person." Kyo nodded, he never thought of it that way. But that wasn't entirely true. Yuki owned Kyo. He did everything for that goddamn prissy boy. He had to.
"What's in the box?" Tohru asked politely as she came up to meet the men.
"You ready to go back home?" Kyo asked.
Tohru nodded and curtsied to Shishou. "It was wonderful meeting you Shishou-san. I hope I see you again."
"yes, hopefully sooner than later." He lightly shook her hand. "Kyo don't be a stranger."
"Bye Shishou." Kyo was half way out of the yard, Tohru had to run to catch up to him. Her hand grabbed his empty one and he froze in place. His gaze met her smiling face and his hand tightened around hers. Shishou watched as they walked away hand in hand. Kyo called a Tohru a carriage and he walked the rest of the way back to the mansion. He washed every inch of himself. Combed his hair back neatly.
Kyo pulled the box out from under his bed, opened it and picked up the fine cloth, placing it on his bed. It was made of a fine imported Egyptian cotton and felt amazing to the touch. It was a dark red color. The sleeves of the waistcoat were elbow high and the breeches knee high. Both had intense embroidery of the mythical creature, dragons. The creatures wrapped around every which way.
He dressed himself and polished his shoes. There was a knock on the door as he was tying his solitaire around his collar, loosening it a little like Shishou had done. Kyo went to the door and opened it, revealing Yuki and Haru.
Yuki wore a dark purple silk suit with a dark brown leather shoes. His hair combed back into a tiny little pony tail that was tied with a purple ribbon. Haru's hair was also combed back with a few strands of bangs that had fallen out and hung over his lazy eyes. He wore a deep burgundy colored silk suit and many pieces of jewelry around his neck and wrists. Both were holding weird masks in their hands. "Where's your mask?" Haru asked even though his voice sounded like he didn't really care.
"Mask? What are you talking about?" Kyo looked at the two confused.
"It's a kind of masquerade." Haru stated while sticking his finger in his ear, trying to get the small ball of wax in his ear. Yuki smirked.
"Don't tell me you don't have a mask?" Kyo's anger rose. Yuki was loving this and it made Kyo sick. "It's almost 9 at night. Where are you going to find a fancy mask? Oh if you can even afford one." Kyo's hands fisted and his heart began to race. God dammit, I finally think something is going right for me and somehow I screw it up. Why didn't I ask Tohru what kind of party it was? Fuck it. I'll find a mask.
"I'll get one." Kyo said determined. "Meet you there Yuki." With that, Kyo pushed passed his cousins and ran out into the town, looking for a costume parlor or wherever you get a damned mask.
It was almost 10 now and he still hadn't found a single shop that sold the masks and costumes. Then Kyo remembered Yuki's older annoying brother had a costume shop. Damn he didn't want to go there but he went anyway. Ayame gave him shit, calling him Kyonkichi and making stupid jokes. Kyo punched him a couple times and Ayame whined but Kyo was finally successful, paid and ran to Rin's house. It was now 11 at night when he finally made it to the party. He placed the red, sparkling mask over his face. He looked like a snarling dragon.
He knocked at the door and a maid opened the heavy wooden entrance. "Welcome." She greeted. Kyo walked into a enormous ball room. A golden chandelier hung from the angel painted ceiling. Thousands of colorful suits and people were crowded into the ballroom. Smoke sat in the air like a fog and loud music played. Women were in only their corsets and panties. The strong smell of alcohol was every where. But of course it wasn't the cheap rum. It was wine laced with who knows what.
"Kyo Im surprised you actually showed." Rin was wearing a burgundy colored corset and undies to match Haru and her mask covered her whole face except for her lips and down.
"what the hell! I don't want to see that! What kind of party is this?!" Kyo was in shock and astonishment.
" it's a masquerade. Maybe Tohru dressed up for it." Rin nudged him in the side with her elbow. He blushed profusely. "Well you're here so go do something and quit bothering me." She slapped him in the back, walking away laughing. She was obviously intoxicated. Kyo let out a breath, calming himself. He walked down the steps leading to the ballroom's floor. He immediately went to get him a cup of alcohol. He drank two full cups before looking around the crowded room. He saw Saki and Arisa, only because they weren't wearing masks and he wished he hadn't, they obviously dressed the part. His eye caught a glimpse of Yuki's suit and followed the color. When he got closer he noticed it was dress and he tapped the shoulder. The girl turned around and it was her. Her mask teasingly only revealed her red lips. The silver mask had feather hanging from all sides. Her dress was so short that in the back you could see her purple underwear and the corset under her dress pushed her breasts to make them full and voluptuous. It was made of the same silk as Yuki's. they would come matching.
Kyo blushed so much he felt his face heating, and his pulse palpitating.
"Kyo-kun you found me!" She laughed, accidentally spilling a little bit of her wine. "You sure do clean up well." Kyo blushed, good thing his mask covered his cheeks.
"Shishou gave me his old suit." Kyo admitted. He liked talking to Tohru and telling her things. He tried to focus his mind on other things besides her exposed skin.
"He's very special to you isn't he Kyo-kun?" Kyo's head nodded honestly.
"He's the closest to a father I've ever had." Tohru grabbed Kyo's hand and pulled him to the dance floor.
"Dance with me." She giggled, setting her glass down.
"I don't dance." Kyo took his hand back and tried to walk away but Tohru grabbed the back of his waistcoat. Kyo turned around. Her lips were in a pout and she whispered pretty please. He sighed and shrugged, letting her drag him to the floor. He stood between Haru and some drunk guy. Tohru was across from him. As the song began, the line of girls curtsied and the line of boys bowed. Tohru's hand went up at the same time Kyo's did. They crossed the floor to each other and their hands lightly touched. They walked in a circle and then switched partners. The girls spun in a circle and men placed their hands on the ladies' waists, lifting them up in the air.
Kyo and Tohru were partners again and he gently placed his hands on her waist and suddenly his mind flashed an image of that night he saw her naked with Yuki. Kyo lifted her in the air and spun her. Once she was back on the floor his hand rested his arm behind her back as she fell back a little. "You're a good dancer." her lips smiled as Kyo took her hand in his, he escorted her around the dancers where he handed her off to another guy he was handed another girl. As he danced his eyes stayed on Tohru. The image of her face as she moaned and bit her lip.
"Tohru-" once they were back to dancing with each other, "You look extravagant tonight." She smiled. And secretly blushed.
"Thank you Kyo-kun. You don't look bad yourself." She twirled in a circle around him and he saw her twirling around him naked. Her skin gleamed in the candle light. He snapped out of it as her polished fingers touched his face. The song ended and they all clapped. "Thank you for dancing with me." Kyo followed her as they walked to a table.
They sat down and across from them was Yuki. His glare bore into Kyo's eyes. Kyo just smirked and placed his hand on Tohru's exposed shoulder. "Can I get you a drink Tohru?"
"Yes that would be lovely." Kyo walked away, staring at Yuki with a smug look. What was he doing? Yuki could have him arrested or killed for just looking at Tohru. When Kyo returned to the table Yuki and Tohru were gone. His eyes searched the crowd and found Tohru pressed up against a column, Yuki's arms on either side of her body. They kissed and Tohru twined her fingers in Yuki's now messy hair. Kyo glowered and started to walk towards them. wait, what are you doing? I have no reason to interfere in their relationship. Damn… He stared as Yuki's hand cupped her breast, his thumb rubbing back and forth.
"Missed your chance did ya?" Rin was standing next to him.
"She wouldn't leave him for me. No matter how charming or romantic I tried to be." Kyo confessed.
"You? Charming and romantic?" Don't make me laugh." Kyo's angry eyes made contact with Tohru's desiring ones. Her face changed to sadness as she saw him. He watched as she pushed Yuki off of her and walked away up the stairs. Yuki didn't follow though, he went back to gambling. "Maybe if she's drunk enough you'll get lucky." Haru showed up and grabbed Rin to go dance.
Kyo pushed past the crowd of half naked, intoxicated people and walked up the stairs, following the path Tohru had taken. He found her standing on the balcony, looking out into the darkness. "What are you doing out here? You'll freeze dressed like that." He asked as he gently knuckled her in the head and took off his waistcoat, placing it over her shoulders. Even though he couldn't see her face he could tell she was sad. "Please don't start crying, I cant stand when girls cry. Was it Yuki? Cus I'll kick his ass if ya want me to…" She giggled a little.
"You have such a way with words." Tohru said sarcastically. "I don't like when people are sad. It's even worse when they have no one to talk to about that sadness. It's not good to keep all that anger pent up."
"You're upset and missing the party because of me? I didn't mean to ruin your night." Kyo's apology sounded a little harsh.
"Kyo-kun, it hurts you to watch me and Yuki together…but what I cant figure out is why. Did he do something to you or…" He shook his head.
"Quit trying to figure me out. I'm not lonely or anything like that. I always look angry. And for Yuki, I just hate the guy." Tohru was looking straight at Kyo now, her lips shined from her gloss and they looked sweet. Kyo wondered how they tasted. Kyo's hands slowly moved to Tohru's mask, he gently pulled it off, revealing her beautiful eyes. Her face was slightly blushed and her lips parted.
Was she only letting him do this because of the alcohol? Frankly Kyo didn't care. His curiosity and yearning was too fierce. "Kyo-kun you could get in trouble," she whispered.
"I don't care, I just…want to know if you taste as sweet as I think you do…" Tohru's blush reddened. He moved closer to her face and she pulled off his mask as well. Her soft hands cupped his cheeks and Kyo's hands wrapped around her waist. "You'll hate me for this later…"
Tohru shook her head in disagreement. Kyo's lips finally met with Tohru's soft, red ones. His heart skipped a bit and his hands tightened around her waist. He felt light like he was floating. She tasted sweeter than sweet and he wanted more. It was intoxicating. He turned his head for more connection. Tohru opened her mouth, allowing his tongue to explore and taste the inside of her mouth. Like candy laced with an addictive drug. Tohru's hands moved to his hair where she tightly gripped his tendrils. Kyo winced but kind of liked the pain.
Tohru moaned and broke the kiss. "Kyo-kun…" she panted, her red lipstick smeared her lips and had also rubbed off on Kyo's. "We shouldn't have…I have to go." Tohru wiped her lips and ran off down the hall into a bathroom.
Kyo touched his burning lips and leaned against the balcony's railing. "fuck, that made me want you even more." he whispered to himself before wiping his lips and putting his mask back on.
