"What the hell? Get off me!" Kyo's outburst didn't come out as angry as he would have liked. In fact, it it sounded more like he was whining, but that wasn't his fault... It was raining. And now someone was sitting on his chest. Kyo had been trying to sleep on the couch, but had been rudely awakened by... He opened his eyes... Shigure.
"Sorry. You were sleeping like a rock and this was the easiest way to wake you up." Shigure didn't sound sorry at all. On the contrary, he was grinning.
"I was hardly even asleep!" Fine, Kyo had been dozing, but he was a light sleeper.
"Oh. Most fun I meant." Shigure shrugged, obviously not caring that he was practically suffocating Kyo. He continued, "Tohru-kun is stuck at work in the rain without so much as an umbrella, so you have to bring her one."
No way was Kyo going outside. It was a freaking typhoon out there. There were tornado and flash flood warnings- The whole ten yards. Nothing good could happen if he went outside. Kyo felt so weak inside the house during storms that if he actually went outside in one this bad, it wasn't unlikely that he would collapse halfway to Tohru's work... And the effort of holding the umbrella seemed like a waste of energy.
"Make Yuki do it," Kyo growled while trying (and failing) to push Shigure off him.
"Yuki is stuck at the school. No one's allowed to walk home due to the weather."
What? Kyo shook his head and asked, "Then how is Tohru at work?" Kyo hadn't bothered to go to school; the last time he tried, he fell asleep during first period... It was easier just to stay home and sleep.
"The storm got worse after Tohru left. Yuki had to stay after for Student Council and now he's not allowed to leave until someone picks him up." Shigure nodded and leaned back into the couch, showing Kyo he didn't have any intention of getting up.
"So go pick him up and then get Tohru!" Honestly, Shigure was an idiot.
Shigure made a 'Tch!'ing noise and shook his head as if he was disappointed. "You think I'm going to drive in that? No, no, no. You going out is the only option... Unless you want poor, defenseless, airhead Tohru to walk home by herself... In the rain... In the dark... Alone."
Images of Tohru turning down the wrong street because she couldn't see through the rain, or getting hit by a car, or someone kidnapping her even filled his head.
"Fine, fine, I'll go... But first get off me!" Kyo feebly tried to push Shigure off again and he finally stood up.
"Off you go!" Shigure walked away and Kyo slowly sat up, rubbing at his eyes. He really did feel weak; when he stood up he nearly fell back over.
With a groan, Kyo trudged over to the door, put on his shoes and coat, grabbed an umbrella, and walked out the door.
The storm was as awful as Kyo thought it would be. Even with the umbrella he was still getting soaked and the wind was almost knocking him over.
When Kyo reached the building where Tohru worked, she ran out to meet him. "Kyo-kun! Why are you out in this storm?"
"I came to get you," He mumbled, grabbing Tohru's arm and pulling her under the umbrella. "I came so you wouldn't get wet and now you're running around in the rain."
Wow, the umbrella was heavy and... Why was Tohru looking at him and giggling?
"Kyo-kun, why do you have my umbrella?"
"Wha...?" Kyo looked up at the umbrella he was holding and, sure enough, it was pink. He slumped over, still barely holding it up, and said, "Da... Dammit! I was tired and didn't notice which one I picked up."
Tohru giggled and grabbed Kyo's hand. "You didn't have to come and get me... I could have gotten home fine."
Kyo straightened up and shook his head. "Of course I did, idiot. You would have gotten lost or something if you tried to walk home in this alone." He tried to ignore the small drop in his stomach when Tohru took his hand- He had known he loved Tohru for a while, but didn't know how she thought of him... Probably just as a friend, she held hands with Yuki and Momiji too and they were just friends with her.
There was another small laugh from Tohru, she knew that Kyo always got in a bad mood when it rained and he didn't mean anything by calling her an idiot... It was a good thing she knew, too, because Kyo wasn't going to apologize.
"What do you want for- Ah!" A strong gust of wind hit them and knocked the umbrella out of Kyo's hand and blew it down the street and out of site.
"Crap," Kyo muttered, glaring up at the sky which was raining as much as it had been when he left, so, in a matter of minutes, the two were soaked.
"Sorry about that," Kyo said as he and Tohru began walking again.
"It's alright!" Tohru said cheerfully, well really in the same tone of voice she always spoke in.
"I'll get you a new one," he insisted. It was the least he could do after calling her an idiot and losing her umbrella.
"It's really fine, Kyo-kun!" And he knew it was.
They walked the rest of the way home in a comfortable silence, but Kyo kept feeling more and more tired, undoubtedly because he was drenched.
When Kyo and Tohru reached the door, they stopped outside. Tohru said, "Thank you again!" Then she stood up on her up on her tiptoes and... Something happened.
Tohru must have meant to give Kyo a kiss on the cheek, just a thank you between friends, but... She had never been the best with depth perception, and there was a lot of wind, so they ended up kissing on the lips.
"I-I- Sorry!" Tohru pulled away, her blushing face even visible in the semidarkness.
She might have been sorry, but it was fine with Kyo... He certainly didn't mind being rained on now... "Er... It's alright... I... Um, don't mind...?" That sounded lame, but what else was he supposed to say? Both he and Tohru were awkward in areas like this.
"Uh... Okay... Me neither..." Tohru's face was even redder and she was looking down at the ground. Yes. They were definitely bogh awkward.
Kyo cleared his throat and then said, "Well... Great. Shall we go in then?"
"Ah, yes!"
Almost as soon as they walked into the house, Yuki greeted them. "Good, you're still alive... Well... I don't really care if you're alive or not, Cat."
"What the- How did you get home?"
"Shigure picked me up." Yuki looked at Kyo and muttered something under his breath that sounded like, "Idiot."
"What? Damn him!"
"Yes, yes," Shigure said in a bored voice, coming to see them as well. "Damn me to hell and all that... So, Kyo, you were stupid enough to believe my story about how it was too dangerous to drive to make you go out in the rain?" He laughed and nodded, obviously pleased with himself.
Kyo rolled his eyes and pushed past Shigure and Yuki; he really did need to lie down before he collapsed. He looked back and gave them both a look that he hoped conveyed to the two how stupid they were. "Why wouldn't I go out there? I love the rain." He turned back around, but didn't miss their confused looks or the blush creeping back into Tohru's cheeks.
