"What a wonderful day!" Tohru says stretching her arms wide. The sky was clear and a warm breeze was caressing her face.
"Yes it is." Yuki says from beside her.
"Yeah, it's alright." Kyo says as well. They had just arrived at the beach, the one that had been to before when they were at the summer home.
"It's nice to be back! Tohru lets get in the water!" Momiji screams happily.
"Ok!" Tohru screamed back.
It was a three day weekend, and everyone thought it a good idea to spend time with Tohru. Shigure and Hatroi were at the small store near by, and would be coming later.
"Why did I come here again?" Hiro asks himself.
"Sissy! Can I come in?" Kisa asks happily to Tohru as she and Momiji splash in the ocean.
"Of course!" Tohru says happily.
"Oh yeah…." Hiro says darkly.
"Not going to get into the water Kyo?" Haru asks while putting sunscreen on his nose.
"You know damn well I don't like the water." Kyo says back while taking a seat in the sand.
"Suit yourself." Haru says and gets in, followed by Yuki. Kyo sighs and looks around.
'I guess I can make a sand castle.' He thinks. Kyo takes a handful of sand from beside him an begins to make a shape out of it.
"Oh Kyo! Your making a sand castle!" Tohru says excitedly from beside him.
"WHA-! Oh, Tohru! Yeah, since I don't feel like swimming I thought I'd try to make one, doesn't look like much though." Kyo says patting his lump of sand.
"It's great! Can I help?" Tohru asks.
"Sure." Kyo says kinda of hesitating. It wasn't that he didn't want her to help him, it was the fact that she wanted to. It had thrown him a little off guard. Tohru sits beside him, helping him with his not quite sand castle.
"Tohru?" Momiji says stopping from his splashing with Kisa for a moment.
"She's with Kyo." Haru says swimming next to him. Momiji looks at the two, a soft expression coming to his face.
"That's cute." He says as he watches Kyo smile a smile not many get to see.
"Yeah, it is." Haru says smiling as well.
"What are you two looking at? Where's Miss. Honda?" Yuki asks and follows their eyes.
"It's like this Kyo!" Tohru says happily taking his hand and helping him create a square-ish surface for a part of their castle.
'She's not afraid of me.' Kyo thinks to himself. Ever since Tohru had seen his true form, their bond had gotten closer. When they were last at the summer home, he even admitted, he truly loved her. One day he hoped he would be strong enough to tell that to her.
"Tohru.." Kyo says.
"Yes?" Tohru says back, her large teal eyes looking into his.
"I.." His words feel short as someone approached.
"Miss. Honda, what are you doing?" Yuki asks coming by the two sitting there. Her hand was still upon Kyo's, Yuki's eyes went to it, then away.
"Oh! Were making a sand castle! Would you like to help us?" Tohru asks happily.
"I would love to." Yuki says smiling, but something didn't feel right. 'Does she…have feelings for him?' He thinks but brushes the idea away. After a little while, all of the rest of the group come over to Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru.
"This is going to be the best sandcastle ever!" Momiji says happily.
"It will be!" Tohru says in return.
"Kyo." Yuki says getting up.
"Yeah?" Kyo asks looking up at Yuki.
"Let's have a swimming race." Yuki says stretching out his arms.
"I'm not in the mood." Kyo says back. This caught Yuki and everyone else only a little off guard.
"Your going to back down from a fight?" Yuki asks.
"NO YOU DAMN RAT!" Kyo never could refuse a chance to beat Yuki.
"Miss. Honda, will you please be the judge?" Yuki asks her.
"Sure!" Tohru says happily.
"Let's get this over with." Kyo says annoyed. He hadn't planned on swimming, so he wore his pants. He knew it would way him down in the water a little.
"Ready, set, Go!" Tohru yells. They were to race to the rock that was a little wase away ahead of them, then race back. First one to reach dry land was winner. Everyone cheered from the shore.
"Go Kyo! Go Yuki!" Tohru and everyone screamed in unison.
"Why was Miss. Honda holding your hand?" Yuki says while swimming. They were both neck to neck, and going fast.
"What!" Kyo yells. He wasn't sure if he had heard Yuki right.
"What are you talking about?" He asks while he touches the rock along with Yuki.
"Why were you two holding hands!" Yuki yells this time. This surprises Kyo more then he realized.
"Why, afraid I'll take her, you damn rat!" Kyo yells and swims faster.
At the last second Yuki races past Kyo, and wins the race. As soon as Kyo reaches dry land, Yuki kicks him in the face, sending Kyo flying into the air, landing hard on the water.
"KYO!" They all scream.
Kyo is quick to recover and comes back to where the others stud.
"Kyo! Are you alright?" Tohru asks running to him, and checking his cheek.
"He'll be fine Miss. Honda." Yuki says and walks back to the almost complete sand castle.
"Kyo, aren't you going to fight back?" Haru asks wondering why Kyo hadn't already lashed out at Yuki.
"Nah, it's not worth it, I'm tired." Kyo says. Tohru gets him a towel and he dries off, though his pants were still soaked. His puts back on his shirt and sits in the sand, a little wase a way from Yuki.
"That is strange." Haru says to Momiji as they watch Tohru check Kyo again to see if he is alright.
"It is, I wonder why Kyo didn't fight back that time." Haru thinks a moment.
"Maybe, something has changed him, or someone." Haru says.
'I don't want to fight anymore, I just want to be with her. I don't have much time left, all the time I have with her, is precious to my heart. I'll tell her when the time is right, that I truly love her.' Kyo thinks to himself as Tohru touches his face softly.
"So, Akito has been feeling better has he?" Shigure asks Hatroi as they sit in the local café.
"Yes, he is doing much better lately." Hatroi replies back before taking a sip of tea.
"He seems to be better after he had those chats with Kyo and Tohru. I wonder why that is?" Shigure says thinking out loud.
"I don't know why that it is, but it does seem odd." Hatroi says as well.
"I wonder what he has scheming now…" Hatroi looked up from his tea.
"Shigure, what do you know?" "Nothing Hatroi." Shigure says serious and with a little smile.
"We should go join the others, if we don't hurry we wont get to see our Tohru in her new swim suit!" Shigure says with a sing-song voice and getting up.
"Don't say that, it's sounds wrong." Hatroi says and pays for his tea.
