Confusion

Chapter 1

He sighed, looking over at her. Yuki slowly averted his gaze from her to the blackboard and back towards her; Tohru Honda, who lived with him in his house and the girl he respected and liked. More than friends. That was his problem. He couldn't like someone who shared the same rooftop as he, could he? It almost seemed as some sort of unofficial violated rule.

Still, he looked at her chewing the end of her pencil and nervously copying down every word their teacher said. Her hair swished and swayed as she looked up from her notebook then down to it again. Yuki couldn't help but notice things like that.

Then he glanced over to his cousin, Kyo, and sighed again. It was pretty obvious that Kyo really liked Tohru too. The way he talked to her, and the way he sometimes flashed that special smile reserved only for her…It was obvious to everyone in the world, except maybe for Tohru. Still, she seemed to maybe like Kyo a lot too, and Yuki was pretty sure that she didn't see Yuki that way in return.

And that is when the idea showed up in his head. A plan, actually. You see, there might be a way to prevent Tohru from liking Kyo, or at least slow down the process a bit. Enough to let her see her other options…but he shoved it down in the back of his mind. It was risky, and he didn't want to fool around with Tohru's feelings like that. But the plan kept coming back again. He weighed the other options, but he saw quickly that he would lose either way. But with this plan…no, he really shouldn't do it. Yuki was, after all, a gentleman. He would succumb to a low idea like this one. But it was tempting. And no matter how much he pushed it down, it would keep bobbing up again, stronger than before, until he decided he might as well do it. It may be his last chance.

…

Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki had come home from school, and after a quick change, Tohru ended up in the kitchen. When Yuki walked in Tohru smiled and said, "Hi Yuki! Hey wait for a second." She put the pan of fish into the oven. "Alright! What's going on?"

"Well, Ms. Honda, could you maybe come with me to the base? I think the strawberries are ready for picking." "Sure!"

So Tohru and Yuki walked down to the vegetable garden and started to work on it, and were having a conversation about school and stuff when Tohru sensed something was wrong. She looked over to see Yuki looking at her weirdly. She started to panic a little.

Oh no! What if he has an asthma attack or maybe I have something like a spider on me or…Her thoughts were rudely interrupted when Yuki leaned over and kissed her.
