----Kyo POV---
I'm resting on the school's rooftop, slowly watching the white clouds roam across the blue sky. It's calms my boiling blood, I love the feeling when a gentle breeze brush across my face and leaves my hair in the wind. I look at my black and white watch to see the time, and it exactly noon right now. I guess it's time for lunch; I've been skipping English class every single day. Why? To calm my heart, of course… even though I know this love is hopeless. Why did I fall in love with her? I look towards the ground, and smile. Realizing the truth as I look back up in the sky. …Because I do. I'm in love with my best friend; I've known her since elementary school. Tohru Honda, she is like an angel to me. She's the complete opposite of me as well, compared to her, I guess I'm the devil. I love her so much, and now it hurts just thinking about it. She's adorable, kind-hearted and a wonderful cook. She's selfless and just… perfect. I'm such a coward; I couldn't even find the courage to confess my feelings for her. Believe me, I've tried. So many times, each time worse than the last. I don't remember when I first realized my friendship became a one-sided love, but I'll never forget how she saved me.
(The past)
I was an outcast, especially when my mother committed suicide. Everyone stared at me like I killed her, but I didn't. My father left me too, mentioning that I was a monster. I cried so much but no one cared. No one treated me like a human except for one person. Her name is Tohru Honda, she walked over to my corner and stuck out her hand. She smiled at me and said,
"Why are you by yourself? It's not fun being alone?"
At that time I thought she was mocking me… so I yelled back at her,
"Shut Up, it's not like I wanted to be alone."
Tears slowly flooded my eyes. I tried wiping it but it was useless, it kept pouring like rain.
She still stood there, like a dummy. She smiled at me and said these four words that I'll never be able to forget,
"Then let's be friends."
She's a stupid and naive dummy but she was my savior. She was the only one who talked to me, the only one whom befriended me. I grabbed onto her hand and we've been friends ever since.
___________________________________________________________________--
(Present)
I'm scared of losing her, my only friend. Of course, now I have people with me, but in my heart, there's only Tohru. I'm scared of being rejected, I scared of breaking our friendship. I rather suffer for my one-side love than to lose my childhood friend. Well, there's nothing I can do, and besides, it's not like she has someone she loves. If she did I don't know what I'd do. After the talk in my head I opened the rooftop door and walked down the stairs. I walked past the hallway, and hear the bell ringing…
"RING RING RING RING"
Perfect timing… I better look for Tohru. I continued walking down the hallways until I saw Tohru's back. She's so beautiful, even in her school uniform. Even though every girl wears the same uniform, only Tohru can make it seem like a dress worthy for the angels. I spin my head, knocking out those thoughts. What am I thinking? I can't let her know my feelings.
"Hey! Tohru, time for lunch. Hurry it up already, will ya?" I scream at her. I look angry, but the truth is that I feel happy just talking to her.
"I'm sorry Kyo… Here's your lunch." The little angel said to me as she grabbed a blue lunch box from her locker. She hand it to me, with the same smiling face I fell in love with.
I blush beet red as I grab it from her hands, I wouldn't even dare to look at her, I mean I could have fainted from looking at her smile.
Smack!
OW! Who dares to hit me? I turn around and see that it was the same old Yankee, Arisa Uotani. The tough and violent girl, she's taller than most girls… She always yells at me and not to mention the fights that come with it.
"What the hell is your problem?" I scream at her face with fists in the air
"Eh? Did Carrot top wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? But that's normally the he always wakes up on…The stupid side of his bed" The Yankee said as she laughs in my face.
I could feel a vein pop in my head. I clenched my fists.
"Oh, so you do want to fight? Alright, come at me. Right here, Right now!!!" I scream at her with fists in her face. She pushes the fists away and opened her mouth, about to say something but Tohru beats her,
"Stop! Stop fighting you guys. I hate it when my friends fight each other. Can't we all just get along? Please, lets go eat our lunch… before the bell rings…" Tohru said in her angelic little voice.
"Sorry Tohru, It's Kyo's fault… I mean, I tried to stop him… but he just kept picking on me…" The yankee said in an innocent.
Being sarcastic now are we? I swear, I was this close to yelling at her again but Tohru would probably cry.
All three of us walk towards the cafeteria. Over by the corner, Tohru saw the hand of a familiar friend.
"You guys, Saki saved us a seat. Come on…" Tohru walked towards her waving friend as the Yankee and I soon followed her. Saki Hanajima, a psyhic… she's polite most of the times but she can read auras, it's quite annoying. Tohru sat next to Saki and brought out her pink lunch box. Unconciously I walked towards Tohru to seat next to her but that yankee pushed me aside and took that seat. I growl at her and I was about to say something but she beated me.
"Sorry, Carrot top… but I'm sitting next to Tohru today, so you can just seat across from us. Don't look so angry, it's not like you're in love with Tohru…right?." The yankee asks with a smirk.
"I can sense a pink aura around you, Kyo…" The psyhic was trying to say. I interrupt her, since I can only take such abuse.
"SHUT UP! It's not like that… Tohru just a friend… it's perfectly fine sittng across from her… sheesh! You annoying nag." I said aggranotly and take the seat across from Tohru. Okay, I know I'm lying but… I can't let her know.
"Who are you calling a nag, carrrot top!" The yankee roars at me.
Carrot top… carrot top! Why is it always, Carrot top? Is it that hard to say my name? Come on, it's only three letters… K.Y.O.
"SHUT UP! Quit saying carrot top, ya yankee" I scream back at the yankee. I continue glaring at the Yankee until I took a glance at Tohru, She sits at her seat silently with a confused face. She looks sad, but after a while… she notices me. She smiles the same angelic smile that I keep falling for. Unconicously I smile back."Hey, Kyo… why are you happy? Are you in love with Tohru?" The yankee asked in a serious voice, I turned to face her and was about to say something back but she beat me to it…again… and she resumed her teasing voice,
"…of course, you don't match Tohru… I mean I would never let someone like you be with Tohru…"
I was dumbfounded… I slowly drift my sights to Tohru, and I see her blushing and looking at her lunch box. There's no way I could admit my feeling with such an audience.
"Shut up! Tohru and I are just best friends, there's nothing more or less… so please stop saying stuff like that…" I said seriously as I look at my hands.
"Yeah, Kyo's right… so please stop teasing Kyo, come on, you guys, let's go back to eatting our lunch…" Tohru said looking at the yankee and back at me, but she smiled at me, telling me to relax.
I actually calmed down after seeing that smile, and Tohru started to talk to the psyhic and Yankee, as I continue eatting the lunch Tohru made. I couldn't help but smile back, even though I find the Yankee and Psyhic annoying. I can't help but admire their love for Tohru, I mean ever since Tohru lost her father from a deadily illness and at that time she was only a baby. Her mother just died a month ago from a car crash. Saki and Arisa really tried their best to help Tohru, and sometimes get over protective of her, but in the end she chose to live with me and my foster father, so HA! to those two.
DING DONG DING
Huh? That's the annoying bell, I guess lunch is finally over.
"Have a good weekend, you guys! See you on Monday…" Tohru said as she waved those two good bye and pulled my arm.
"Come on, Kyo, we wouldn't want to be late to class, right?" Tohru asked with a smile.
"Yeah…" I said while looking down as Tohru pulled me out of the cafeteria. My face is probably crimson right now, I mean I could hear my heart beats beating faster and faster. I mean the only sound I could hear is…
THUMP…THUMP…THUMP…THUMP…THUMP
"Kyo? Are you okay?" Tohru asked with her face up close to mine.
WAH! I pushed Tohru away, That scared the crap out of me… I mean I could feel my heart was going to burst out of my body.
"Too close, Tohru." I said when my heart finally calmed down.
"I'm sorry, I'll be careful next time… so please don't be mad." Tohru said with the same beautiful smile she always wears.
My face becomes red again but I calmed my heart down and pulled her arm as I entered the classroom and whispered in a low voice that only Tohru and I could hear,
"I'm not mad, thanks for the lunch…It was delicious. I'll wait for you when school ends by the school's entrance… so don't be late, okay?"
Tohru hugs me, and my heart beat was going out of order right now… I wanted to hug her back, but I could see the whole class was watching me. Slowly I pulled her off of my waist and I just said one last thing before I went to my desk,
"Too close, Tohru."
I wouldn't dare look back, I could feel my body heating up at the areas that Tohru touch. But I can't say, I'm not happy.
DING DONG DING
School finally ended and I waited for Tohru at the school entrance while sitting on one of the cold steps,
"Kyo…kyo" A familar voice said behind me, I turn my head around and I could see Tohru running down the hallway with a panting expression, that silly girl probably ran as fast as she could, so she wouldn't be late but she probably stopped to help someone along the way.
"I'm so sorry, Kyo, but you see, someone was asking me for help and you see…" Tohru was trying to say but I finished her sentence…
"…but I couldn't refuse them so I helped them and now I'm fifteen minutes late…" I stared at Tohru, who was blushing red at the moment. See, so selfless… it's part of the reason why I fell in love with her. I just smiled and replied as I patted her head,
"It's okay… waiting wasn't that horrible anyway…" I said as I stood up. Tohru ran up to my side and started to stand besides me before we started walking out of the school and down the main street heading towards my foster dad's home.
"So… kyo?" Tohru asked me as she was walking with me to our house.
"What's the matter, Tohru?" I asked looking at her seriously.
"I have a secret that I want to share with you… only you, I mean I haven't even told Saki or Arisa. So after dinner can you come to my room, I have something private to discuss with you." Tohru asked as she blushed. What secret could she be hiding that she can't tell anyone but me. I mean not even those two other girls.
Author's note: Tohru's got a secret that only Kyo can know… What's this big secret about? Is it a question that Kyo wants to hear? How will Kyo react...
