Chapter 1- Dinner Alone…Or Not
Tohru pulled her hair ribbon through the final loophole, tugging it securely and studying her reflection in the mirror. Patting her hair down unnecessarily, she crossed her room, pulled open the door, and skipped down the hallway.
Entering the kitchen, she was surprised to see a certain fiery redhead cooking at the stove. "Kyo-kun?" Tohru said, shocked to see him there. Kyo jumped, and then saw Tohru in the doorway. He blushed slightly, embarrassed to have her see him be so edgy. "Oh, he said, smiling slightly", hey Tohru."
She walked in slowly, coming over to investigate his cooking. "Kyo-kun, are you hungry?" Tohru asked, frowning. "I'm sorry, I should have started dinner earlier..." She trailed off, looking up at Kyo. He shook his head, trying to be indifferent as usual. "Nah, since Shigure and that da.. I mean Yuki are out I figured that I'd just make something so you could relax." He couldn't help but feel a bit excited to be alone with her. I should also really tell her how I feel. I would have already if I wasn't so damn nervous, Kyo thought angrily.
Tohru gasped happily. "Really? That's so nice of you to cook for me, Kyo kun! Can I help with any of it?" She looked around the room, itching for something to do. Kyo sighed, exasperated. "Well, I really wish I could just let you rest but if you want to you can chop the meat." He nodded to the meat next to him. Tohru sighed in relief, and grabbing an apron, she took the knife and started chopping. Kyo eyed the gleaming knife warily. "And be careful with that knife!!!" he added, a little desperately. She giggled and resumed chopping. After a few minutes of silence, she said softly. "Kyo-kun?" He looked at her. "Nn? What is it Tohru?"
She looked away, weighing her question. "Do you…know how Kagaura-chan is doing?"
Kyo frowned, stirring the sizzling stew idly. "How would I know about Kagura? I try to avoid her as much as possible, you know that." He tried to keep the contempt he had for Kagura out of his voice, knowing that she and Tohru were good friends.
Tohru nodded, finishing the meat and pouring the pieces in the stew. "O-of course. I should have known..." she said, blushing a bit. Kyo wondered why she was acting so strangely. "Why do you ask..?" he said, hoping he hadn't hurt her feelings (again). He hated when he just said things at random and ended up hurting her. "I mean…well, you don't have to answer, I just was wondering.." he implored. She smiled, and shook her head lightly "Oh, no reason, really, I was just wondering."
Shrugging it off, Kyo brought the soup over to the table, Tohru in tow with bowls and a basket of bread. She laid out the utensils, and Kyo poured the steaming soup into the china bowls, taking care not to spill. Tohru sat down and sniffed the soup appreciatively. "Oh, Kyo this smells so good!!!" Kyo took secret pleasure in the fact that she accidentally left out the kun in his name. It made him sound more special to her. He grinned. "Well, just make sure not to burn yourself, it's pretty hot." She nodded absently, and blew softly on the soup. Suddenly, she leapt up from the table. "Oh, I forgot the napkins!" She cried, and dashed back into the kitchen, fretting over her trivial mistake. Kyo smiled to himself as he blew on his soup. She really is cute when she does that, he thought serenely. Tohru had come back, but as soon as she rounded the corner, her foot caught the edge of the counter, and with an "Ahhhh!!" she started to trip.
Kyo leapt out from the table and caught her in time, but they both came crashing down to the floor. When all was still, Tohru blushed as she realized her body was on top of Kyo's. 'Ah, kyo-kun, I'm so sor-" but she was cut off when Kyo took her face in his hands and pressed his lips to hers. Her eyes widened as he kissed her, but she soon automatically, as if she had been anticipating this, snaked her arms around his neck and kissed him back. He took one of his hands and ran it along her back, thinking it all too good to be true.
Shifting his weight, he rolled over so he was on top of her, still not breaking the kiss. He supported most of his weight off of her with his elbows, and kissed more fiercely.
"My my," came a smirking voice from the door. "We leave you two extremely hormonal teenagers alone for one hour, and this is what we come back to?"
Jumping apart, Kyo rolled off Tohru and both got to their feet. It was Shigure, with Ayame at one side and Yuki at another. Ayame grinned widely, and Yuki looked slightly crestfallen, but for some reason not at all surprised. Ayame smirked and said" Well, Gure-san it is a good thing we came home early, because who knows how far these young grasshoppers would have-"
"Gone! Yes!!" Shigure finished Aya's sentence gleefully, thoroughly enjoying the festivities. "It seems we came just in time to have almost witnessed-"
"Why is HE here?!" Kyo demanded, half out of curiosity and half to shut Shigure's pervy comments up. He was talking about Aya. Mysteriously, Yuki had disappeared from the scene. Aya swept his arm dramatically. "Well, I was on a fabulous stroll this clear, starry night, and Gure-san HAPPENED to be driving by on his way to shop for errands, so I absolutely COULDN'T resist going with them to spend QUALITY time with my favorite people!!" He winked suggestively. Kyo didn't want to know.
"Yeah, well, GO HOME!!" Kyo yelled, pushing both of them to the door "Go get a drink or something for all that I care!" While being pushed, Shigure and Aya exchanged a look. "Well, would that reaaaallly be wise?" Shigure asked slyly, winking at Tohru who was following Kyo. "Well anyways, Tooohhhrrruuuu-chhaaaaann, keep it clean, 'kay? If Kyo does something naughty call Aya's cell at 234-4657, or just tell Kyo to-"
"OUT!!!!" Kyo bellowed, pushing them out the doorway and slammed the door. Tohru watched him lean against the door. She came over and laid her hands on his chest. Smiling, she said "You're so tense, Kyo.."
Yuki climbed down the stairs slowly, careful not to make any noise. Noise would be a welcome distraction though, he thought shrewdly, seeing as I heard disturbing sounds coming from that stupid cat's room. I always told him that he was vulgar.
He pattered down the hallway to the kitchen, and saw Shigure at the table with a cup of tea and his half-finished manuscript. Looking up, Shigure have a cheery smile that made Yuki sick (as always). "Why hello, Yuki-kuun" Shigure chirped, drawing out the 'kun'. He mock pouted. "Why so glum?"
Yuki rolled his eyes, getting a bite to eat from the fridge. "You're the last person I want to talk to right now." He closed the fridge, grabbing some chopsticks. Shigure smirked. "Unhappy about Kyo and Tohru-chan's little happy time?"
Yuki rounded on Shigue, glaring profusely. "I told you not to leave them alone"
