KYO POV

"We need to find our own place," I said.

Tohru looked up into my eyes in confusion. "What?"

"Listen, we graduate this year, and I think afterwards, we need our own place." I hoped she didn't think I was jumping the gun.

"Kyo, I…" I silenced her by putting my tan finger up against her soft lips.

"Listen, Tohru. I know we've been living in this house for three years, and it may seem weird to leave it, but we've got to get outta here." Away from that damn rat.

I didn't want anyone to know about that part. A part of me felt insecure about my girlfriend for almost a year and a half still living with that damn Yuki. And that perverted dog.

TOHRU POV

He wanted to leave? To have our own house right after graduation; we're still so young! I don't know how I feel about this. If we were living together, just the two of us, anyone could guess what would happen.

I blushed.

I know with my whole heart that I'm completely, madly in love with Kyo. I'd follow him to the ends of the earth if that's what he needed. He'd never do anything I wasn't ready for. If what he needed right now was our own place, then I'll do it without a complaint.

I moved his long, slender finger away from my lips and held his big hand in both of my small, pale ones. I lifted one of my hands to brush his face and whispered, "Of course, whatever you want."

When he cupped my face and kissed me, it was like my insides melted. He was very gentle and kissed me softly and tenderly. He placed his hands adoringly around my waist and kissed me.

I felt electrified and my legs started to give a little. He picked me up and set me on the counter. He pressed his lips lightly to my neck and collar bone and I sighed. He was so perfect, I didn't deserve him.

"Tohru," Kyo whispered. "I love you. You know that. I love you more than anybody else in the world. I don't want to make you do anything you don't want."

My heart swelled. "I want you," I breathed. "Forever. I want us to stay together forever."

I lifted his chin and kissed him again. This time he molded his tall, muscled body to my small soft one. I felt his hot breath inside my mouth as his tongue traced my lower lip.

My breathing quickened and I put my legs around his hard waist and tangled my hands in his hair. This felt so good. I loved Kyo more than anything, too.

"Tohru, my flower! I'm home! And Kyo! I hope your not doing something stupid!" Shigure called and I heard the door close behind him.

KYO POV

I kissed the top of Tohru's head and slid her away deftly.

"You damn dog!" I yelled. "Why's it always gotta be me. " I heard him chuckle.

I saw the blush on her face as she hopped down from the counter and started making dinner.

She was so beautiful, inside and out. I wondered how she would take it. I'll do it tonight, maybe she won't freak out. Yea, Right.
