Title: A Drama of the Highest Order: Sequel to The World At HER Fingertips

By: Running to my Heart

Disclaimer: I do not own any Furuba characters.

Sidenote: This story has a lot of drama and also, lots of lemon-stuff so if you're not into that- DON'T READ ANOTHER LINE! This story is a sequel to the one I just finished. It documents the time that Tohru was pregnant and after.

This story also follows the pattern of the last, with Tohru's thoughts in italics, Kyo's are bold, and their twins are bold italics.

Chapter 1: A New Chapter

"Oh you guys!" Tohru exclaimed, blushing brighter than ever before, even though that hadn't seemed possible only a moment ago. "I didn't do that much!"

"On the contrary, Ms. Honda," Hatori interjected, "you were the only one that Akito would listen to because you were the only one who had even broken through her boy-ish exterior. You never saw it, but always after your visits, Akito was calmer… Almost as if she was thinking over your influence and what might happen if she opened up to you."

"Yay!" Momiji celebrated, "Tohru broke the curse, now we can hug and-"

"SHUT UP!" Kyo yelled. As the noise of the party went on in the background, Tohru thought over all that the Sohmas had done for her and all that they had come to mean for her. Especially Kyo. She touched her lips in remembreance of that kiss they had shared on the kitchen floor. A soft smile crossed her face. Maybe he does love after all and maybe, just maybe now that the curse is broken, we can be together! Hearing Kyo yelling at everyone because Kagura was clinging to him, Momiji was crying, Haru was trying to kill him, and Hiro was just ordering him around. All of that chaos almost set Tohru's teeth edge but instead, she just giggled.

"And what has attracted that most beauteous sound from the lips of our blossoming rose?" Shigure asked, at his writer's best.

"Oh, just thinking about someone," Tohru said.

"Not our little kitty is it?" the older man asked, teasing her. To his surprise, Tohru blushed red as a cherry.

"Tohru," he said, choosing his words carefully, "I want you to know that we all have your best interests at heart because that is what you have always seemed to have for us."

"Of course Shigure!" she chirped, immediately brightening.

"That is why I feel it necessary to tell you to stay away from Kyo." This statement, from someone that Tohru was sure would support her decision to be with Kyo, shocked her to her very marrow.

"But why Shigure?" she demanded, almost falling into tears. The sight of this could not be born by any of the Zodiac members, least of all the dog which felt a special connection to Tohru because she was also born in the year of the dog. He pulled her into an embrace that held nothing threatening, only a fatherly type love that Tohru had not felt since her own father had died.

"It's because we think he will only turn into a wanderer now that he has no curse or anything holding him back. We would not want to see you languish at home, missing him. Or worse yet, trapped, feeling like you have to follow him where ever he goes to 'save' your love. This is not the life that our precious rose bud deserves." Shigure had become more and more serious as the speech went on, but at the end, he had turned back into his old lecherous self.

Tohru surprised him with her resolve. "No, Shigure. I believe Kyo will not leave me. Not if I ask him."

"Alright. But don't say I didn't warn you," with that admonishment, he turned and waded through the chaos that was the house's guests, to get to his room for some peace. Tohru waited outside a bit longer, considering the stars in all their distant and cold beauty. When she turned to go inside, she ran into a wall of muscle.

"Oh Kyo! I'm so sorry!" Tohru apologized, an ingrained gesture that no one had been able to break her of yet. But Kyo was determined that he was going to have the time to try. Gathering his courage, and screwing up his face in the effort (scaring Tohru too), he knelt down, took the little white hand in his own, that had not long ago been doomed to turn as white as hers, and asked the question that he had been burning to ask since the first night he had really gotten to know her.

"Tohru?" he asked, looking at her feet.

"Y-y-yes, Kyo?" she said, sounding almost as if she were crying. Kyo jerked up in alarm but found that she had the biggest, silliest grin on her face, while her eyes were streaming tears.

He gulped, but pressed on. "Will you do me the honor of marrying me, the honor of spending the rest of my days, waking up to your beautiful face, the honor of knowing that I'll always have you to understand me, even when no one else does?" Where the hell did that come from? The orange haired boy, swiftly becoming a man thought. But he already knew. Itcame from his heart, from the love he had for this girl that was now a woman in his eyes. Kyo started to get worried when Tohru didn't answer but saw that she was as incapable as speaking as he had HAD to speak a moment ago. She shook her head in rapture as she thought, Oh MOM! I'm getting married! Aren't you happy?! And from somewhere far distant, she seemed to hear a whispered, "Good luck, dear. I will always love you!"

Kyo slipped the ring on her finger, gave her a chaste kiss on the lips, then picked her up bridal style to carry her into Shigure's house (which was looking to be in rapidly increasing states of disrepair) and announce their forthcoming marriage. Even Yuki cheered them on, though this was probably due to the fact that he had drunk more sake than should be readily consumed in one sitting.

"Kiss her good Kyo!" Haru shouted from somewhere in the back. Happy to more than oblige, he kissed Tohru on the lips, holding her close to his body, molding himself to her. The more he held her, this wonderful woman who had freed them all and saw all his forms but still loved him, the more he wanted her. All of her. To take her in one heated, loving session of passion.

"Get a room!" Haru hollered, about as drunk as Yuki was. Unfortunately, at least to Haru and Yuki's drunk minds, that was exactly what they did. Kyo picked up the future Mrs. Sohma and carried her to his room, gently setting her on the bed. -AND THAT'S ALL YOU'LL GET BECAUSE THIS IS THE EDITED VERSION! IF YOU WANT MORE-GO FIND THE UNEDITED ON MY PROFILE! Suffice it to say that they had a very interesting night. To say the least!-

Well I hope you like it! R&R PLEASE! Arigato!
