The Curse of a Bear (Kyo Sohma FanFic)

Chapter 6

Kyo's P.O.V.-

The last few weeks have inched by very slowly. ____ never showed up to school again, and no one seems to notice or care. It's like she never existed. I tried looking for her, but I can't find her. I can't even find where she's staying in the forest.

I sigh and continue walking through the town, hoping that I can somehow find her buying food or something. I walk by a dark alley and see a girl that looks a lot like ____ down it. The only difference is that this girl has two guns strapped to her belt.

I stop and stare in shock that I finally found her. She has a serious expression and is running towards me. At first she doesn't notice me, but, once she gets closer, she does. She stops and looks behind her nervously before she runs up to me and shoves me behind a dumpster that is against the alley wall with a hand covering my mouth. I hear several people run pass the dumpster we are hiding behind and I can tell from their shadows, that they have way bigger guns than the ones ____ is carrying. Once they leave the alley, I hear ____ breathe a sigh of relief.

Your P.O.V.-

You remove your hand from Kyo's mouth and lean back against the dumpster. Kyo moves around to where he is leaning against the wall staring at you intently.

"Where were you? I was looking all over for you," he states softly.

"Why were you looking for me?" you ask genuinely confused.

"I truly don't know, but something in my gut told me that I had to find you. Now, can you please answer my question?"

"You wouldn't understand, and you need to get out of here before they start coming after you too."

"Then let me understand. And, who's going to come after me?"

"I don't have time for this. If the guys that are coming after me see me with you, they won't hesitate to kill you, so I really need to leave now," you put simply as you stand to leave.

Kyo jumps up and grabs my arm, "Wait! You are not leaving until you explain everything to me!"

You sigh, "Fine, but only because I want to because I can easily kill you if I wanted to, but we can't talk here. Let's go to my place."

You lead him through the forest to your small, but very useful, tree house. Once there, you usher him inside and quickly lock the dead bolt.

"Dang, it's like a fortress in here," Kyo comments looking around the living/dining room.

"It kind of has to be. I have a lot of powerful enemies."

"Who exactly are your enemies?" Kyo asks as he turns around to look at me.

"Well the one that's after me now, is an organization that's made up of the world's best assassins," you say and shrug as if it's no big deal, "but I also have several others."

"Who?"

"Well there's one more major one, and he's apparently living nearby. To tell you the truth, I don't even know his name or why he wants me."

"What about the organization?"

"Oh, I definitely know why, but it's a really long story so you may want to get comfortable," you say gesturing to the table in the middle of the room. You sit down and he sits across from you. "It all started about two and a half years ago in the U.S. After my beads were removed and my parents...died, I started moving around and doing all these odd jobs that almost always involved something illegal. After a few months, I attracted the attention of the organization. They offered me a deal that, without my beads, I couldn't resist. They told me that if I worked for them for a year that they would send me to Japan. Of course I accepted, but as soon as the year was up, I got convicted for one of my more minor crimes and sent to Juvie for a year. Once they released me, Kazuma came and returned my beads. As promised, the organization sent me here, but a few weeks ago, the organization contacted me again, and because I refused to return, they are out to kill me."

"Wow. Why didn't you return to them?"

"I'm a different person now that I have my beads on, and the only reason I joined them in the first place was because I wanted to find Akito, who is apparently looking for me too. For some odd reason, whenever my beads are removed, that name races through all my thoughts and I do whatever it takes to reach him."

"Dang that's a really...uh...dark story," Kyo starts. Then, his eyes widen in shock. "D-did you say Akito?"

"Yes."

"Why him?!"

"I don't know for sure, but I think it's just another part of my curse."

Kyo looks at me curiously and asks, "Why did you tell me all of this?"

You look down at your hands and answer, "Something is telling me to trust you, I don't quite understand it, and I've wanted to get these things off my chest, so I thought you would be the best one to tell."

"Who else knows about this?" he asks getting up and looking around the room again.

"You're the only one that knows the semi full story, but Kazuma has a slight idea about what's going on."

"Why are you wanted all the way over here?"

You continue to stare down at your hands at your eyes start to well up with tears.

"Ok, then, what happened to your parents?" He looks over at you and the tears in your eyes start to stream down your face.

"I-I killed them," you whisper, "They got in my way when I wanted to get to Akito so I killed them! And now, you probably want nothing to do with me and hate me."

"No, I would never hate you," Kyo whispers as he sits down and pulls you close to him careful not to hug you. You gladly accept his warm gesture and cry into his into his chest. "I actually feel the same way you do, with the blind trust and all."
