Blind Ambition
Chapter 1
Confessions? I think not!
That smile. That sweet, sweet smile. Why was she so beautiful? Her mother was pretty, but Tohru was. Tohru. He watched her make his tuna. The way she smiled just being happy and helpful around the house. She had been living there for over two years now, and the more Tohru was around him the more he fell in love with her. All those little things. Like, the way she smiled even when she was sad, the way she cared so much about the Sohma family and their traditions, and the way she supported every good descision he made and tried to talk him out of the bad ones. Honda Tohru.
"Kyo- kun? Are you okay?" Tohru asked him which threw him out of his thoughts.
"Yeah. Of course I am."
"Don't worry Honda-san, he was probably just daydreaming," An all too girly voice said from behind Kyo.
"Daydreaming? What do you mean Yuki-kun?" Tohru asked as she stood (which upset Kyo since Tohru's face was only inches away from his).
"He sometimes just stares into space thinking about nothing."
"Shut up, Rat," Kyo spat angrily at Yuki. Which made Yuki just sneer, knowing that he was superior to Kyo. "Do you wanna fight stupid rat?" Kyo shot up, when he saw Yuki sneer.
"Please don't fight! Here Kyo-kun I made you some fish, and Yuki-kun what would you like for supper?" Tohru bounced up. She stood between Yuki and Kyo, to stop them from throwing punches.
This is why Kyo admired her. She was so protective of the rat and him. He was happy someone was there to actually understand his feelings.
"It's alright, Honda-san! I can make something for myself. I have to go to the school to set up for the carnival on Monday. But Thank You," Yuki said. " Actually, I already did." He already had a small bag in his hands. He smiled at Tohru, "Bye Honda-san!" And he was gone.
Kyo sat akwardly at the table with Shigure and Tohru. For some reason there was nothing really to talk about. Tohru was sitting their looking at her empty plate as if it would go and wash itself, Kyo was playing with his knife as if it were a cat toy (convinient), and Shigure was telling some weird story about the book he was reading that no one was listening too. But what made everything so akward? Was it because the rat wasn't their?
"Well are we all finished?" Tohru asked shyly after Shigure had finished his story.
"Oh Tohru-kun! You are the perfect house-wife! Of course we are!" Shigure smiled getting up to hug Tohru. Kyo was up in a flash.
"Don't touch her. Shigure," Kyo hissed.
"Geez, Kyo! You are so touchy! I was joking!"
"Joking my ass." Kyo grabbed his bag. "Common Tohru." He grabbed her hand. He didn't notice but she blushed.
On the walk there, there was another akward silence. But this silence felt different then the one in the kitchen where they ate. The silence was longing.
Suddenly Tohru stopped walking. She was looking down at the ground. Her eyes where shadowed so he couldn't see her expression.
"Is there something wrong, Tohru?"
"Did I do something wrong?" Tohru asked. She lifted her head to show she was crying. Kyo looked shocked at her and went over to console her.
"No! Why would you think that?"
"You have been so quiet since we woke up. I know I did something wrong."
"Tohru."
"Did I cook your salmon bad?"
"Tohru."
"Do you hate me for being nice to Yuki-kun?"
"Tohru. It's not what you did do. Its what you're not doing!"
"What?"
