Kyo Sohma sat on the roof his head buried in his hands. He had just come to a realization, he finally understood, but he wasn't ready.The racing pulse. The sweating. The blushing. The strange way his head would spin. No! He wouldn't allow it! Couldn't allow it! He was tough. He would fight it. She would never be his anyway. Why would she choose him over Yuki, the boy who always made her laugh. The boy who always put a sparkle in her eyes. The boy who spent long afternoons with her,planting, and talking, and getting close to her. He, kyo, only provided problems. His true form. His problems with Yuki. Missing Shishou. Being extremely shy. Running away from everyone. What would she see in him? "Kyo-kun?", the soft voice of Tohru Honda started him out of his thoughts. "Dammit Tohru! Don't scare me like that!" "oh! I-I'm sorry", she replied faintly, looking quite surprised herself. "Well", she continued, recovering, " I was just making supper. We're
having some delicious sushi, and I made some extra salmon rolls, and I thought maybe you'd like to share them?" Kyo stared in surprise. She was bringing him food? Why? "Why?" he demanded, more harshly then he had intended,wincing at the tone of his voice. " I, um, I just-" " Honda-san?!" Yuki Sohma bounded up the stars searching for Tohru. He had fresh vegetables to give her. " Just a minute Yuki!" She called sweetly. " Would you wait in the kitchen for me? I just need to give something to Kyo" "You shouldn't waste your time with that dumb cat!" snarled Yuki, and he went back downstairs to wait for Tohru. Kyo looked at Tohru, waiting for her to finish her sentence. She blushed, and Kyo sat there, a little confused as to why she was blusing in his presence. "I'm sorry Kyo-kun, I had better go downstairs, but, um,here!" She thrust a napkin with several salmon rolls into his hand. As their fingers touched, a spark shimmied up his arm leaving him confused.Tohru looked at him with concern, as she saw his pale face. " Kyo-kun, are you alright?" "Forgive me Tohru" he whispered hoarsly, He took her hand in his once more, and pulled her a little closer to him.He pressed his lips against hers ever so softly,then quickly pulled away, flushing a dull red. Tohru looked staartled, and her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. Oh no! Had he hurt her in some way? Had he angered her? Why had he kissed her? Of course it was wrong! "I'll see you later Kyo" She said, her lower lip trembling. She ran into the house, and he heard her go down to the kitchen. Then he heard " Honda-san, what did he do to you?!" Tohru must have calmed down Yuki, for he didn't hear Yuki coming to hurt him. Kyo picked up a salmon roll, and bit into it. Then he placed it back down on the napkin, and buried his face in his hands once more.
