The Curse of a Bear (Kyo Sohma FanFic)

Chapter 5

You hear a knock at the door and tense up. 'Please don't be him. Please don't be him,' you think, slightly panicking at the thought of Shigure being right.

Shigure casually walks down the stairs and answers the door. The one man that you hoped wouldn't be behind that door, is the exact same man greeting Shigure with a bright smile. You openly stare at him in shock. He is still talking to Shigure and is oblivious to your presence until Shigure gestures for him to come inside. As soon as he sees me, his smile drops and turns into a frown full of concern and surprise.

"____, what are you doing here?" Kazuma asks stepping towards me.

"Wait! H-he's the guy?" Kyo stutters in utter shock.

"Yes, now shut up," you say to Kyo before turning back to Kazuma, "I originally came here looking for you."

"Why would you look me?" he asks completely clueless.

"Oh, I don't know, to say thank you, ask you how you knew, or how you found them. You know, nothing obvious," you say, your voice full of sarcasm.

"Well you shouldn't have come here, it's not safe here. You are better off in America."

"So I've been told, but I think otherwise. I think I'm much safer away from an organization that's out to get me because I don't return their calls and the guilt, hatred, and memories that are ever so present in America. Besides, it's too late for me to go back now. I would never make it through the airport security. I barely made it through getting here." You explain calmly.

"Why?" he asks confused.

"You know my real last name and if you have read a newspaper, watched T.V., or gone online in the last month, then you know exactly why." I reply, getting slightly irritated.

"That was about you? I thought it was somebody else."

"Yes that was about me. What I did, before you returned my beads to me, haunts me every day no matter where I go, and I know for sure it would be worse if I was still in America, mostly because I would be in jail by now, and I can't go back there, not again."

"What did you do to make you wanted all the way in Japan?" Kyo asks backing away from you.

"Nothing. As long as my beads aren't removed, you don't need to worry about it." You say trying your best to sound comforting.

Kazuma then turns to address the others, "Whatever you do, don't tell Akito that she's here. It'll only end in disaster if you do." They all nod and look at you with varying degrees of curiosity and fear.

"Where are the bags I brought with me?" you ask to no one in particular.

"In the kitchen," Yuki answers. You walk into the kitchen and grab your stuff. When you walk back into the dining room, everyone is silent and staring at you.

"I'm gonna go home now. Thanks for breakfast." You say before walking out the door and heading into the forest towards the hidden tree house you built.

Kyo's P.O.V.-

I watch her walk out the door. I'm still curious about what she did, but I'm also a little scared because whatever she did, it made her wanted worldwide. When she first stared answering our questions, I felt a sort of connection because we both have a secret side that's hidden by beads and we both come from sad, haunting pasts apparently.

Now that I know that she's done something horrible more than once, I don't exactly know what to think. I have done some pretty bad things myself, so maybe I should still give her a chance.
