A/N: Heyyyy. So um, this is my first time writing a fic in like...forever. Actually, this is a fic that I'd wrote on my other account, I happened to read over it and started getting ideas. Sooo I figured I'd try and start writing again. :3 Annnd hopefully my writing skills haven't died. . . ;
Tohru has been living with the Sohmas for three years now and she had grown closer to them. Especially Kyo, ever since she saw his true form they've grown so much closer and spent a lot more time together than they had before.
It took a lot of time, but Kyo was slowly beginning to open up to Tohru, just a little. That made her happy to know when Kyo had something on his mind instead of keeping it to himself he would come and talk to her about it. Of course he still had the same attitude around the others and kept to himself at times.
Kyo felt that he could trust Tohru that's why he was starting to open up to her. She was always there for him when he needed her and he found it very easy to talk with her. Tohru would listen to what he had to say and then somehow managed to say exactly what he needed to hear.
When his master Kazuma removed his bracelet, he expected Tohru to run away from him and never come back, because of the hideous creature that he would become.. The last thing he had wanted was for Tohru to see that side of him, he never thought she actually would and still wished she hadn't even though things hadn't changed between them. He had been so afraid that she would runaway from him and reject him, the last thing he wanted, especially after all he had been through.
Instead she came and looked for him, told him she wanted to stay with him and spend time with him, those words meant a lot to him, anyone else would have left him without a second thought. Tohru didn't have to stay with him no one was forcing her to, she was staying on her own free will, that showed Kyo that she did care.
Kyo and Tohru were walking home from school one afternoon Yuki had to stay after and do some work with the student council members. They walked beside each other in silence.
Lately Tohru had been acting different from the way she usually was. She kept to herself and barely talked unless she was spoken to, she barely even smiled, if she did it was a weak one, which was very unusual for her. She would cook, clean, and do whatever else needed to be done around the house before going into her room and staying in there for the rest of the day.
Shigure had said she may be getting sick, but Kyo knew that wasn't it. Something was really bothering her and he wanted to know what it was so he could help her just like she always helped him. Tohru was always helping him and he wanted to return the favor, and for once do something nice for her.
Kyo looked over at Tohru who was walking with her head lowered. Shaking his head he rested his hand on her shoulder causing her to blink looking up at him.
"What's your problem?"
"Huh…oh um, what do you mean? Nothings wrong with me I'm fine Kyo, really!"
Tohru put on a smile and Kyo could see right through it and tell it was fake. He rolled his eyes folding his arms across his chest.
"I'm not stupid I know something's bothering you,"
"I…I don't know what your talking about Kyo I'm fine."
Tohru bit her bottom lip looking away trying her best not to meet his gaze. Something was wrong with her but she didn't want to tell Kyo, she didn't want anyone to know what was bothering her. Emotions were built up inside of her that for the longest time she had been trying to hide and keep to herself.
Obviously they were beginning to show and sooner or later she was going to have to explain herself whether she liked it or not. There was no way she could keep it to herself, whether it was Kyo, Yuki, or Shigure even it didn't matter they'd find out and she would have to explain.
"Tohru you worry about other people more than you worry about yourself, you help others but never really get anything in return. For once why not let someone help you, don't keep things yourself," Kyo took a deep breath and sighed. "Your…your feelings are important to me too you know."
Tohru stared up at Kyo who was looking the opposite direction at the ground. It was rare to hear Kyo say such things and she couldn't help but smile from hearing him say it. In a way he was right, she shouldn't keep things to herself, it would only make things worse on her part in the long run. She closed her eyes for a moment and sighed softly, she might as well let him know what it was that was bothering her. It was time for her to actually sit and think of herself, just one.
