Senior year. It's the last year before they became "adults" (many, still too immature to be called that). Tohru Honda was studying at Shigure's house with Kyo. This house had become her home just a couple years ago. The time had certainly flown by, and while we could reminisce on the past…one day out of all of them is a bit more important. April 15th, 2006, the always aggressive Kyo, was strangely…quiet. He hadn't gotten in any fights with Yuki at all, and he even agreed to have leek soup for dinner. To Tohru, little naïve Tohru, she just thought Kyo was finally learning to control his temper. The real reason however, was much deeper, and after a long period of time he finally expressed the nature of his silence.
"So, Tohru. It's our senior year..." Kyo started, fidgeting a little as he put his textbook down and faced her biting his lower lip. "…and I've enjoyed our friendship. It's something I hold dearly." Kyo stated, avoiding the real topic on his mind.
"Well thank you so much Kyo!!" Tohru said, suddenly excited as she closed her textbook with a bubbly smile. "I've valued our friendship as well! I don't know what I'd do without you and the rest of the Sohmas in my life, you've always treated me like family!" Tohru said looking into Kyo's eyes with such a delight.
This delight pained Kyo, for he didn't know if Tohru's reaction would be as good as this when he got down to the real topic. "Well that's great Tohru, I wish I could say the same, if it wasn't for that damn Yuki! I WILL beat him you know!" Kyo said, before realizing he was drifting off topic, he ruffled his hair and forced a laugh. "So look…it's been very hard for me to suppress certain feelings of mine, and before the year ends and we all go our separate ways I need to know how you feel about me." Kyo said quickly as his face turns red. Before waiting for an answer he shouted, "Oh forget it! Never mind!" and ran out the room, heading for his comfort zone, the roof.
A very confused Tohru sat in the room for awhile, gathering her thoughts before leaving the room. She walked to the kitchen, wondering what Kyo meant, when she bumped into Yuki.
"Oh I'm sorry Miss Honda, please forgive me, I wasn't looking where I was going." Yuki said, bowing to Tohru.
"Don't be silly Yuki! It's my fault, I was thinking and I totally zoned out! Which reminds me! I'll have dinner made in a little bit!" Tohru replied apologetically, with a laugh at the end.
With a nod, Yuki went on his way, and Tohru continued her destination to the kitchen and found some chocolate. "chocolate makes EVERYONE feel better!" she thought as she grabbed it and headed towards the roof. She had a look of determination as she went up and sat next to Kyo.
"Here's some chocolate! I thought maybe this would cheer you up!" Tohru said as she handed over the chocolate. Kyo looked at it with disgust for a few moments and grabbed it with a dramatic sigh.
"Just GREAT! You know how much I looooove chocolate!" Kyo said overdramatically, his temper, yet again, out of control.
"Oh that's right! I forgot that you don't like chocolate! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me Kyo, I promise I won't do something so stupid again!!" Tohru replied, feeling terrible as her act of kindness was misinterpreted.
"Never mind it, it's fine." Kyo said, setting the chocolate aside. He took a deep breath and calmed down. He knew why Tohru had come to the roof, and he knew that he'd have to finish what he started. "So look…about what I asked in the room earlier, you don't have to answer it okay?"
"Well thanks for letting me know, but I still don't know what you were exactly asking!" Tohru said with a smile. This was just a typical Tohru thing, she was too innocent to realize what exactly a guy means when he asks a thing like that. This fact made Kyo mad, again.
"Look! I feel so strongly about you! You're the only one who can calm me down when I just get so pissed at that bastard Yuki, and well EVERYONE for that matter!! I want to know if I can have you, for myself! I want you by my side after high school, when I go back to train. I feel like I need you Tohru!" Kyo blurted out, his emotions raging and his face burning. This wasn't the way he wanted to say this but it just sort of happened. He buried his hands in his face and tangled his fingers in his burning orange hair.
Tohru was taken by surprise, no one had ever confessed feelings like this to Tohru. She didn't know what to make of it all when she said……
CLIFF HANGER!!! :3 mwahahaha
