Wait For Me
By: StuPidmeEh
"Tohru… I… I love you." Kyo confessed with Tohru. She seemed hurt. Kyo didn't look at her but then had a nerve to peak for her reaction. He knew that this would happen. He knew that he would be rejected. He saw that Tohru was hurt. "Oh… well, that's okay if you don't love me back," Kyo turn his back to her and picked himself up, "well, I better get going now." Tears forms in his eyes but refuses to let it out. "Kyo…" Tohru said as Kyo stopped walking. "I don't hate you, in fact, I love you. I love you not just as friends. I really do love you… but… I'm not ready for a relationship yet…promise me you'll wait for me." Kyo nodded and let out a mumble, "I promise I'll wait for you even if it'll take you forever."
Dinner wasn't the same. Kyo was not himself. He wasn't being rude. He didn't complain about the dishes that Tohru had prepared for him and his two cousins. Tohru wasn't so cheerful. She seems to be thinking big. Yuki had no idea what happened before dinner. He was quiet. The whole dinner was quiet. Shigure noticed this and start babbling about nonsense stuff. "Aww…c'mon, this is no fun. Yuki and Kyo, why aren't you guys arguing? Tohru…" Shigure was begging Tohru for help but Tohru seems to ignore him. Shigure then sigh and went back to eating. After dinner, Kyo stood up and walk upstairs, where his room is. Tohru followed him, "Kyo…" Kyo turned around. She seemed to be smiling. "Good night." Kyo smiled at her, "Good night."
Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru went to their daily schedule. Tohru and Yuki seemed to be in some big conversation about their science class, that they would be doing a project. The bell rang and everyone went to his or her first class. The three of them had the same class for first period, science class. Kyo sat at his seat, Tohru next to him and Yuki next to her. The teacher greeted her class, "Okay. So we have the big experiment to day. I will be choosing you a partner. And you and your partner have to work together for the rest of this project. Also read the direction and work together." She called each name out, as she called Tohru's name, "Tohru, you will be working with… Yuki." Kyo wasn't happy with this. "Kyo… you'll be working with Mikki. And please Kyo, cooperate this time." Kyo doesn't seemed to care, all he care about how lucky that damn rat is. "Hi… I'm Mikki. Are you Kyo?" Kyo glared at her, "What do you think?!" The girl was offended by Kyo's tone. He notice this and he started over again but this more polite, "Yes… I'm Kyo. I guess I'll be working with you for a month." She smiled and nodded.
"You know… you seem very nice… and… cute too." Mikki smiled with embarrassment. Kyo looked at her and smiled back. The worked, they chat, they laugh, and they chat more. Kyo didn't notice this but Tohru seem to be staring at them. "Miss Honda? Miss Honda…" Yuki was trying to get her attention. "Oh… Yuki?" "I just wanted to know what's on your mind… I'm not trying to be nosy… but you seem upset. Is there anything wrong?" "Oh… Yuki… there's nothing wrong… it's just that… this project is very hard." She lied. She knew that this wasn't the problem. She knew she was jealous of that girl, Mikki. She doesn't care about the project but she cared about her Kyo. She snapped back to reality and blushed from her thought about being jealous. But there's nothing to be jealous of, Kyo won't fall for her, he just can't. She went back to help Yuki with the project. But her thought haunted her. What if he falls for that girl? What if he can't wait for her? She knew that Kyo is impatience with everything. But she shook the thought off.
Almost a month past and Kyo had so many fun memories with Mikki. Tohru was full with worries. He's fallen for her. She knew this, by his action and his smile. She knew the smile he was giving Mikki, was the same smile he gave her. 'That smile belongs to me. His smile supposed to be mine!' Tohru thought. 'I can't… I can't fall for her. I can't love her. I love Tohru and no one else. I gave my heart to Tohru and I don't want to take it back.' Kyo ran out of the class. Mikki came running after him. Tohru did the same. Yuki noticed something in Tohru's action, "She loves him… all this time it was him, who she loves and not me."
"Kyo? Is everything alright?" Mikki asked and sat next to him. He didn't look at her, not a glance. They were quiet. The wind blew, making the trees shatter birds were chirping, and cars passing by. Tohru was looking for Kyo. She hesitated, finding Kyo with "Mikki". Even though she was far from him and his head was down, Kyo knew Tohru was there, staring. The result was, they grew a bond together. "Tohru…" He whispered, still with his head down. Mikki was taking by this. 'He loves her… I guessed… I'm all out of luck…' "You love her… you love her, don't you?" Mikki's voice saddened. "Yes…" Kyo confessed. "Oh…" She looked away. "I'm sorry, Mikki." "Why are you saying 'sorry' for? You love her and besides I don't mind." She let her tears drop. "Thanks." "N-no problem. I better go inside…" Mikki walked away. Tohru was curious of what their conversation was but by looking at Mikki's reaction, she knew that the conversation was serious.
She doesn't know what to do next. Should she go to him and comfort him or just walk away. She wants to comfort him but she doesn't know what to say. Without thinking through, she walked towards him. Without farther notice, Kyo called out her name, "Tohru…" She stopped walking. She stared at him for a while. She smiled, "Yes?" "I'm… I'm sorry…" He said still with his head down, not bothering to look at her. 'Kyo… you… you were in love with her…' She took a seat next to him. "You silly! There's nothing to be apologizing for." This conversation wasn't getting anywhere. "But… I promised you… I PROMISED YO-" He was interrupted by a gentle kiss. Tohru had kissed him he was swept away by her gentle kiss. Even though it was just a peck, he was satisfied by that true kiss. "I think… I think you've waited enough… for me." She smiled. "You mean…" Kyo was shocked. "Yes." She smiled again but with a splash of blush on her cheek. Kyo was surprised that he didn't noticed what he was doing. As a puff of orange smoke cleared, a little orange cat was sitting on Tohru's lap. He hugged her, hope no one saw that.
