HI GUYS! I'm sorry, this is what happens when I have writers block on something- I start something new! If this is your first time reading my stuff, then read this, review (PLEASE!), and read my other fics.

Tohru-kun

"Tohru-kun… Do you… love-?"

N-no! I… I can't!… can I? No! If I do, mom, the one I promised would always come first in my heart, will leave me- forever!

Can Shigure-san see my shock? He must be able to; I can feel myself blushing madly. But why? Why did he ask me? Why does he now look at me knowingly? Why did Kyo-kun have to walk up just then? Why did mom have to leave me?

I can tell I'm starting to cry. Kyo-kun thinks it's because Isuzu-san and I had a fight. But I'm thinking, if mom hadn't left me here by myself, I wouldn't be in this position. I wouldn't feel so confused right now.

But, is that selfish? If mom hadn't left me here, then I wouldn't have met the Sohmas- Shigure-san, Yuki-kun, Kyo-kun, Kagura-san, Hatsuharu-san, Momiji-kun, Hiro-kun, Ritchan-san, Isuzu-san, Kisa-chan, Ayame-san, Kureno-san, Hatori-san, Shishou-san, everyone. But that's selfish, too, I think.

I'm still thinking about that as I'm hanging the laundry up to air out and dry, when Kyo-kun comes out. He says some things, thinking all the while- remembering things? What, I wonder? It is because of all these thoughts, and the fact that I never saw this coming from Kyo-kun that I am caught completely off guard by his hug.

The weight of the pressure of breaking the curse before next spring, the weight of the awkwardness I can now feel in this small room between Yuki-kun, Kyo-kun, and me, it's… it's suffocating. I'm actually kind of relieved when Yuki-kun leaves, but the pressure in here is still massive, still suffocating.

"Hey, wanna go somewhere?"

What?…

Kyo-kun-

Sure, I'm all right, but what about you? Is it really all right for you to be so damn cute? Oh, why do I always end up hurting you- emotionally and physically?

I can't help thinking that Shigure and Tohru-kun weren't talking about Rin. I doubt that Tohru-kun even had a fight with her, but if that's the best Shigure's got, then I'll just play along for now.

Why did Tohru-kun run out of Shishou's so quickly- as though she was being chased? Why was she blushing so hard when I walked up? Why did she start crying after Shigure left?

Is this what they call "like", or even "love"? Is that why I hugged her as she was hanging out the laundry? Well, I call it suffocation.

The damn rat is saying something, I wonder what. I can't be bothered to listen, and it sounds like a complete lie, anyway. Humph, must have been some lame excuse about going somewhere, because he's leaving now. Good riddance, I need to think. But first…

"Hey, wanna go somewhere?"

Yuki-kun

What is up with those two? Their hands brush ever so slightly, and they start blushing like crazy. Did that stupid cat do something to Honda-san again? He better hope that he didn't.

Gah! I have to get out of here! "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do that requires me to leave immediately! I'm sorry!" I'm lying through my teeth, but I had to get out of there. It was suffocating me, the feelings of awkwardness in that room. I bet that stupid cat did do something to Honda-san. Ugh, now what do I do?

"Ayame-kun?"

… What?

So? Please review! Then go read my other stories if you haven't already done so. THANXUZ!
