NOW on to the story. ;)

Kyo's Temptation

Tohru was in the kitchen making breakfast for the Sohmas' and all were grateful except Kyo."Leeks. Again?! This is the third time in one week! Seriously I'm gettin' sick of this." he complained. "Oh I'm so so sorry!!! I didn't mean to upset you...." she said in a very small voice. "you know Kyo you really should be more polite.....you stupid cat..." said Yuki."Now, Now Kyo you wouldn't want to upset the lovely girl who does your cooking and laundry. Would you? "Shigure questioned."Yeah. Whatever." "Well we best be heading off to school. Good-bye Shigure." Yuki said. "Oh your right. If we don't leave soon we'll be late, and I can't be late or Sensei will get mad at me...and she scares me...." Tohru said sounding worried. "Who cares what Sensei thinks. It's not like it matters what she says anyway." Kyo muttered while walking out the door with Tohru and Yuki.

"Good morning Tohru. How are you this morning?" asked Uo. "Yes. How are you Tohru? Your waves seem the same but Kyo's seem a little off." Hana stated while going to class with them." "My 'waves' or whatever you call them aren't off ya' weirdo." he retorted. "You know Orange-Top you are acting a bit nicer. I mean you didn't totally scream at me first thing this morning like you normally do." Uo said in a taunting voice. "It's true you hardly fought back this morning at breakfast. What's going on with you?" Yuki said with a sense of curiosity in his voice. 'Come to think of it that stupid cat hasn't been putting up much of a fight in front of Tohru for about 4 weeks....' "Nothing's going' on bastered. Mind your own damn business!" Kyo shouted as he stormed off. 'I couldn't have been acting that differently... Could I..?' "Class, take you seats we're about to begin..." Everyone sat down except for Kyo. He had this look on his face that actually made him look like he was thinking. "Sohma-San! I said sit down." Sensei commanded. He sat down with an embarrassed look which made the girls giggle. After class he ran out the door not looking back 'Hmmmmmmm....I wonder where he could be going I mean we just got here. I hope what Yuki and Uo said didn't hurt him that badly....' Tohru thought. Finally the bell rang and it was time for second period. Tohru and Uo went to Biology, Yuki went to English, and Hana went to History where Tohru hoped she would find Kyo. They went through the day and Then the bell rang again, and it was time to go home (h: it was a really short day.) Tohru searched everywhere for Kyo, but with no luck....then she remembered that when he gets angry he always goes on top of the roof to think (h: even though that's really really tough for him) so she decided to go look for him up there. She was right. He was lying down with a very confused look on his face (N: he must really be thinking hard ha-ha).

"Kyo-kun!!!" she shouted with excitement "I've been looking all over for you." He sat up and turned his head to her with a surprised look on his face, also trying to hide the blush that was starting to spread from knowing she was looking for him. "Why the hell would you want to go and do that? idiot." he murmured. "Well..." she started, trying to hide her embarrassment."I was worried about you because Yuki was right you didn't put up much of a fight this morning...or any other time for a matter of fact." 'oh I hope he doesn't yell at me too much I don't think I could handle it with out crying, and if I cry he'll just yell at me more for being a baby' "Well, it's nothing!...What I mean is that I'm kind of confused about it myself..." 'Wow he's actually opening up to me I better not screw this up...' "Oh....well, if you need to talk about it or need help trying to figure it out I'm really good at listening and giving advice, not to say that you can't handle it on your own of course..." Tohru reassured him while hoping she didn't insult him in the process. "I'm not asking for your help! I just... I just need to work this out on my own." he answered dejectedly. 'While finding out what it is... I don't understand why, but Tohru is making me feel all nervous when I'm near her.' He gazed up at her downcast smile feeling a little shamed.

"Oh....I understand exactly how you feel....I mean when my mother died I kind of felt the same way...you know the whole...'I feel so alone yet I have all these people around me who want to help, but at the same time they have no idea what I'm going through.' so I'll leave you be and let you think some more...just promise me you'll come home... I don't want you to leave again. I really do care about you and want you to be ok. And remember, I'm always here for you if you need some one to talk to!" 'I hope I didn't go over board on that one...' Kyo broke away from her trance and looked down at his lap trying to conceal his increasing scarlet red cheeks. (If that were even possible) "Ummm... yeah. Thank...Thanks." 'I don't know why I'm getting so anxious and shaky around her...it's almost as if I have this longing feeling, but I don't quite know how to explain it...'"Well that was the bell so I'm gonna' go to work....I hope I see you when I get home." She said as sincere as possible. She got up and started to walk away. "T...Tohru?" "Huh.....What is it?" she asked while turning back around. "N...n never mind." Kyo replied burying his head into his knees. 'That was so STUPID! Now she's gonna' think I'm a moron' "Oh...ok then see you later...." 'I hope...' "mhm sure" the muffled sound escaped from his lips. 'I hope she doesn't see that I keep glancing up at her... but I just can't help it...'

"Hey, Yuki! Aren't you going to pick up our lovely little flower from work today? You don't want her walking home all alone with all those perverts do you?" Shigure inquired. "I'll do it" Kyo mumbled angrily as he mysteriously appeared coming down from the stairs. "Are you serious!? What do you plan on doing? Leaving her in some ally to mobbed? Or are you starting to fall for her?" Said Yuki in a semi-playful voice (H+N: in the background Shigure was singing Kyo and Tohru sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G.....then Kyo blushed, punched him in the face, and Gure-san burst out laughing....wouldn't you???) "You really are a stupid cat aren't you? If you two come back and she has one scratch on her or anything like that I think I may have to beat you again." "You'd have to be really messed up to leave someone like Tohru in an ally all by herself! And to let you know I'M NOT FALLING FOR TOHRU OR ANYHING LIKE THAT!!!! AND AS IF YOU COULD EVEN TRY TO COME CLOSE ENOUGH TO LAND ONE HIT ON ME I'D BE SURPRISED YOU FRICKIN DAMN RAT!!!!" Kyo ripped his jacket off the coat rack and slammed the door shut behind him breaking it off it's track once more. "Why is it always my house" Shigure whined.

Tohru turned around expecting to see Yuki, but was put into shock when the one waiting for her was Kyo."Oh...hello Kyo. Why are picking me up tonight?! Oh my god is Yuki hurt?! Oh my god this is awful!!! Is he in the hospital?! We have to go see him!!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" She said of course thinking of the worst possible thing..... "NO! I mean...he's not sick or anything... I just... wanted to uhm. I needed to take a walk so I decided just to pick you up on the way. 'OK so it's not a complete lie... I did need to take a walk to cool off...but it's kind of weird. I was so angry before and now I'm a different tense and my stomach is all knotted...' "Oh...why thank you that was very kind of you to come pick me up....I mean I'm sure you have something better you could be doing right now....So on your walk did you figure out what was making you upset earlier? Do you wanna' talk about it? You know what forget I even asked I know it's none of my business I just don't like to see you so confused and upset, it makes me feel sad in a way....I don't quite understand it, but....I don't know...."

"Nah. I didn't have anything better to do. Oh...and well err... yeah I kinda' figured out what it was but it wasn't important so I don't really wanna' talk about it. Wait, why would it make you sad?" Kyo said with a curious expression playing across his features He was genuinely confused. "Oh well you see...ummmm...I don't really know why....there's just something about being around sad people that makes me sad... especially the ones I care for a lot you know? Like you, Yuki, and Shigure. If one of you is sad I will feel sad because I hate it when people are down...I mean I put on a happy face, but that's so that I can make you guys feel better. Like if someone were to dump you and you were sad about it I would feel bad and yet put on a happy face to cheer you up, because I know that once your happy again I will be too." ' I really really really just wish that you would let me in Kyo you feel so much hurt I can sense it, but yet you put up a brave front....I don't understand why your like that....' "Heh. It's just like you to worry about others Tohru. But, do you really feel that way? I never knew. So are you almost always really sad or just..?"

"Oh Look Yuki the two are finally home. I was afraid after Kyo's little tantrum he might not remember to pick up sweet innocent Tohru!" Shigure yelled from inside the house. "No it's not all that time it's just when one of you guys are sad really, and most of the time your happy-ish, but it I guess you could say I've gotten really really good at acting like I'm the happiest camper in the world I fool myself and I never really know for sure any more....but thanks for walking me home Kyo I really do enjoy our time together." 'Even if it's only for a few minutes.' "I like time with you too" Kyo said in a small voice, getting a nice pink tinge.

"Oh good morning Kyo...your up awfully early this morning. Would you like some breakfast?" asked Tohru in a mighty cheerful voice.... "Ummm I'm not really hungry I just..." his stomach growled he started reddening. 'Okay this is really embarrassing I just want to get out of here. Looking at her after that dream just makes me...' flashbacks of his dream entered his mind and he turned a more vivid shade of red. "Umm I was planning on going to go to shishou's dojo... to uhh...train" he replied awkwardly."Oh....That's great I'm so happy for you......what time are you leaving? Oh yeah and I'm doing the laundry today so would you mind getting all of yours together?" "Uhh...??? Err... I was thinking of going soon... but I'll do my own laundry first. I mean I...err it's not that much and I was planning on doing it anyway. It's just more work for you to do and my room is really messy and stuff..." Kyo said in an uptight tone. "Oh thank you that's so very helpful of you Kyo I would appreciate it very much......Oh good morning Yuki How are you this morning?" "Oh I'm fine. How are you?" "Oh I'm quite good! Thank you! Would you like some breakfast? Kyo is leaving early so I don't have anything made yet." "Oh...really where's he going? And yes I would love some thank you." "Oh he's going to the dojo to train.........ok I'll whip something up really fast...."

"Oh Shigure good morning did you sleep well?" asked Yuki.... "Thank you Yuki! I had the most wonderful sleep! When I was writing that new novel I hadn't gotten any sleep but now that I've finished it I feel really refreshed!" he looked around and noticed Kyo wasn't there. Shigure looked in the other room and saw him going up the stairs. "Why Miss Honda, What is Kyo doing? Usually he would be asleep or waiting for breakfast to be served. He does always get hungry around this time." he said looking at the clock. "Oh that's wonderful I'm so glad you finished that novel must have been really long! Oh and Kyo is going to the dojo this morning to train and said he didn't want breakfast. He sounded really excited about it too. Oh by the way if you two would get your laundry together I'm going to do that today.... ok please and thank you!"

"Why yes of course Tohru, but if your doing it today why is Kyo on his way down to do his own?" Yuki asked "Oh well he said that he didn't want to add to my troubles today plus his room is a mess, but I don't see why he cares seeing as how I clean it? Hmmmmm....do you guys have any idea why being so nice to me I mean he picked me up last night and now he's doing chores I don't get...." 'Hmmmm...... I wonder if I did something.....' Yuki and Shigure looked at each other "Well that's odd... I don't see why he wouldn't want breakfast? You see him scarf down your home-cooked meals like he hasn't eaten in years... and him doing laundry is just weir...OH...." Shigure realized *uncontrollable chuckles* "ahhh... our little Kyonkichi. Did he seem... a little...well, flustered or off today? That would explain why. He must be dealing with some interesting teenage problems. Would you understand Yuki?" *more chuckles* "And as for him being nicer to you Tohru, I believe that ties in with him doing his own laundry..." *snickers*"....................wait... did you say he was going to the dojo today????......to....train???" realized Shigure. "Yes!"

"But, that… Kazuma broke his leg... He's on crutches. I don't think he would be up to training with Kyo..." Shigure said trying to fit the pieces together." Hmmmmm....that's odd I wonder why he lied to me??? Oh no I must have said something last night!!! Oh my god what if he runs away again!!!! It will be all my fault!!!! I'll never be able to live with my self this is terrible!!!!! Will the two of you talk to him for me??? Find out what I did to upset this....oh I knew this was all my fault!!!!! " Darling Tohru, Kyo is not lying to hurt you or hide anything drastic and he is most certainly not MAD at you..." *chuckles* "he LIKES you... a lot might I add..." *MORE chuckles* " He might want to just TALK with Kazuma and that's why he's going to the dojo, but yes, Yuki and I will definitely talk to him for you....STARTING WITH YUKI!!!" he ended in a sing-song voice while running out of the house mumbling something about going to the convenience store. (N: Yukikichi hahaha) "Oh my god thank you thank you I love you guys so so much you're amazing!!!!!" She said in her oh so cheerful voice....but Yuki did not look so willing to help her, but being who he is he just had to say yes....

Kyo took his sheets out of the wash and started loading them into the dryer. 'Yuki's right. I am just a stupid cat. I can't even act right around Tohru and I keep thinking about earlier. It's so tense between us now and anything I say could be taken the wrong way. It makes me so angry because now I keep thinking of how much I like her when we're talking and I get afraid I might mess up and say how I lo...like her. .like. NOT love that's just weird and it would make things even more awkward, if that's even possible. I didn't even care what she thought of me before but now I'm trying so hard to not say how I feel and all that shit it's just getting TOO DAMN HARD!!!'(N: Now, Now, don't be a Shigure… it's kind of ironic I'm saying this.) He thought as he slammed the dryer door closed. He looked at the door with a scowl noticing that it was slightly opening, almost in a timid manner.

"Hey....ummm...Kyo we need to talk...." Said Yuki who randomly popped out of nowhere... 'OK so I'll admit I wasn't expecting that' Kyo was staring with his mouth in the shape of a little o "..." 'Ummm when am I ever speechless???' "About what bastered?" Kyo said in a low voice. "Well I'm going to talk to you about Tohru, and later on your getting a much much much more awkward chat with Shigure..." 'Crap... one it's about Tohru, two YUKI even says it's gonna' get awkward...and then Shigure. Crap... just crap...' "Err.......uh Well, Spit it out y...Yuki" Kyo said in a strained voice.

"Well, ok here it goes, you being the BASTERED that you are have Tohru thinking that you hate her!!! And now she thinks that your gonna' leave and run away, and she thinks it's all her fault so how do you feel now you low life son of a bitch stupid cat!!!!! Now you better tell what the hell is going on with you and her because your driving the entire house nuts just by screwing with one person!!!!" 'Okay, I should've expected the yelling to eventually come, but Tohru…' "...Tohru thinks...I hate her? ....WAIT SOMETHING AS STUPID AS THIS WOULD NOT make me run away. AND you could NEVER know how I'm feeling right now." he retaliated 'plus I'm not really sure if he even rolls that way' (N: Hazy was mad when I put that :3) "Your right I probably can't, but I'll do my best because I care about Tohru, so tell me what the hell is so stupid that Tohru is freaking out??? I wont take nothing for answer I'll beat it out of you if I have to, and don't act like you can beat me because you know you can't!!!" Kyo was mad at the statement but calmed down. "I don't know she's just upset because I've been ...well I guess I have been acting a little different. BUT it's not my fault!" 'It's cause of those damned dreams' "I Swear! Tohru is just being overly concerned. Haven't YOU ever had ANYTHING you didn't want someone to know... you know... it's not even that important anyway..." "Yeah, but this different....I never hurt anyone by keeping a secret though...if it came down to this especially if it wasn't important I wouldn't keep it anymore....obviously you don't care that much if your not willing to tell anyone I mean even if you tell me if I think it's something she shouldn't know then I wont tell and I'll make something up. You know I'm not that cold hearted..."

"Well that's a little reassuring..." 'But how am I gonna' say this?! Dammit!' "Ok so tell me or I'm gonna' beat your face into the ground!!!!!" "OK! OK!! Seriously...well... I've…" 'Err... awkward' "beenhavingstrangedreamsabouther..." Kyo mumbled looking at the ground."oh....OOOOOHHH.... now I get it I'll just tell her it's a 'DUDE' thing....and hopefully she'll leave it at that...but you're gonna' have to tell her how you really feel… ok?" "Tell her how I feel?!!? But I'm not even sure if it's real! I mean just cause I'm having these...umm...dreams... about her doesn't mean that I really like her. Does it? I mean it'll pass right? Oh God I hope it does. Just being near Tohru is weird now and I can't help but think about her like that. I mean I know it's wrong and everything but..." Kyo explained."No shit it's weird being around her, but yeah I'm gonna' guess that it's real because you have liked her sense she first moved in here I saw the way you tried and failed horribly at being sincere for her....but all she cared about was the fact that you tried. I mean seriously give it up she's the only one who will probably ever accept you...well...her and Kagura and we both know who you would rather have....If your that freaked out about knowing weather it's really love or not you could always just kiss her...but that would be really awkward if you kissed her and then it turned out that you didn't like her....."

((Ring))((Ring))((Ring))((Ring)) "Hello, who is this?...Hatori? What's wrong?.....What she's in the hospital!!! What's wrong???...Yeah we'll be right over!!" "Hey Kyo there's been an emergency and we have to go to the hospital right now I'll explain in the car ok!!!!" Kyo's expression was a mixed of troubled and 'tell me what the hell is going on' but he was pretty much speechless besides the little noises that were escaping from his mouth. Once he finally was able to form a proper sentence, it wasn't even really a sentence at all. "W...who?" Kyo's eyes glimmered with a sadness Yuki had never seen."Well I'm not going to lie to you. It's Tohru and she's knocked out cold. She's ok, but we have to go pick her up ok? I'm sorry, but Hatori says she should be awake soon ok?" Kyo meant to say something but his voice wouldn't work. Anything to say just one word like 'ok' or 'yes' but all he could do was nod and mouth let's go. "Right"

So they arrived at the hospital to pick up Tohru and got a surprised visit from Shigure..... "You're here." he said in a serious voice. Shigure had always been an annoyingly happy guy who would tease you about anything but he did know things had a time and place... well important things...like serious important things... ok what is trying to be said is that on RARE occasions he knows when to shut up and be a normal person. Kyo nodded not feeling his voice coming back to him yet and looked at Yuki. Then he noticed Tohru in back of him lying down on the hospital bed. He felt like running up to her but noticed there were people and didn't want to make a fool of himself. He looked back to Yuki."Hey Kyo we should probably get her back home now ok, she's had a rough day ok.....You know now would be the perfect time to show her how you feel...well when we get home of course though...." "I uhh... don't really know. I mean I kind of just figured it out today so I sort of want some time..."

Nix: OK. YAY! First Chapter up! And now that I have someone who actually can follow me around irritating me and pushing me to update and write, I won't be 104% annoying! ( I know that always bugs me…)

P.S. I thought it'd be interesting to play individual characters so we could get into character and you'd get a feel they were actually them. (Plus the work was even this time!) Yes maybe some aren't correct all the time ( I was ½ asleep while writing it and stayed up the whole night to write it with Hazy…ok ok I lie I got 2 hours of sleep but still…) but we got pretty close I think…. Anyway so I guess I'll tell you who is who if you really want to know.

Oh and sorry it's so mushy .

Tohru-Hazy

Kyo- Me! (Nix) I enjoyed that…

Yuki- Hazy

Shigure- Me (just cause in person I'm actually like him entirely. Well, except I'm not a man… that'd just be awkward…hehe I got the giggles)

Sensei- Me (she had like one maybe 2 lines)

Uo- Hazy

Hanajima- Me

Hatori- Hazy

Kazuma-Me!

I think that's it….right?
