Rebound (Kyo Sohma) 3

You have now been back for a week, and have been too exausted to dream every night. But tonight you do have a dream. You know it is a dream, but it all feels very real. You are on the property, sourounded by your large extended family and friends. Everyone is smiling nd happy. Sudenly you are in a croud. You see closed stores and a peer; you are on a dock. You are jostled and manhandled by people in Victorian clothes onto a ship. It is dark and you close your eyes. There is rain and thunder everywere. You open your eyes but it is too dark to find anyone so you feel for them with your hands. Suddenly lightning eluminated the hold and you realize everyone is gone. Sudenly you know were the door is and you run to it and throw it open to see the ship is completely empty. You scream in fear and frustration when the ship turns and you are thrown off of it.
You wake up on the floor next to your bed. It wasn't the worst of your dreams, but they never freaked you out this way. You get up to get a cup of tea. In the small kitchen you can see that it is a clear night. The moon is out. Everyone must be happy and asleep but you.
~So what was that dream about?~ you thought half heartedly; you already knew. You were alone and it scared you.
Yes your parents were here, but they were always so distant. Maybe they felt guily for having a normal child when their friends all had juunishi. And all your best friends had been outsiders you went to school with. They went abroad mostly and you lost touch with them. You came home, but nothing changed. You were alone.
With that happy thought you desided to read a paper, to get you out of your own head. There was one you had bought a few days ago. You had never read it before, and now you knew why; it was boring .
You kept flipping though. Right before you desided to go to bed you got to the last page. On it was the classifieds. One add stood out for you; a suport group for lonly people.
With new resolve you went back to bed and did not dream again.

What will happen?? *waits in suspence*
You called the number in the paper on a break btw classes. they told you the next meeting was tonight and they would welcome new people. It was free, but please bring baked goods.
After classes you rushed to your job and asked to be excused an hour early. If this worked you would ask for a perminant shift in hours. After a brisk walk you found the building, which was not new, but not run down either.
On the second floor was an open door, inside you found people milling about eating cookies. You put your cake down on the table and took a cookie. You inspected the room as you nibled it.
There was a chair circle in the middle of the room. ~Exactly what I expected (I wonder why)~ The people ranged in age from barly out of high school to middle age.
in the corner someone was eating a piece of your cake. When you noticed that person had redhair you were hearded to a seat. The person, doctor?, leading it sat next to you. She asked your 'name', and said you could go last so you saw how they did it.
From the other side were a man who coud not get dates, two devorcees, a girl who had no friends, a man who lost his wife recently and was raising their son, a... wait? on closer inspection the widower was non other than Kyo! (I know, big surprize.)
When they got to you you tried to explain how you felt you had no one. They asked about the family you lived with, and the people you worked with, but it was hard to explain that you only wanted one person, when that person was in the room.
they took a break and both you and Kyo walked up to Ms. T. At the same time you asked if there was another time this met because this group wan't working for you.
She explained "There is another one about an hours drive from here, but we only meet in this group". You glanced at Kyo, but he had his face to the wall.
"Fine" you both said. He walked away, but you explained how youdid not have a drivers licence yet or a car.
You desided to make the most of it. If he was going to ignore you, you could ignore hm twice as much. Yeah right.

This is lame. (stick with me, and I like it!)
After another half hour when you heard about other peoples problems, and avoided telling them your own, it was over.
You were extreemly surprized on the way out when Kyo acosted you in the hall. There was a deep door way and it looked like he wanted to talk, so you leaned into it and tried not to cross your arms. Kyo waited as everyone filled by, including a very happy lookig Ms. T.
When the door banged shut he was ready to talk. Sort of. "This is why I wasn't there. It's not like I don't love Tohru" he didn't notice how you flinched. "and I really am sorry I made you late, just, can you not tell anyone this?Not that you have anyone to tell it seems"
You looked away hurt.
"No, don't cry, I'm sorry, that was mean. Please stop.." he got a little panicked when the tears roled down your cheeks.
You may be nice, but you know how to take advantages of situations. "Su-ure. *sniff* if you get me dinner *wheeze* I'll forget about the whole thing" The crying was real. It cut how you had no one.
You were pulled out the door before you realized that this was his answer.
Rest of the dinner-non-date, next time!!
meanie. (ye-es)
I don't care if you rate, but please message me : )
