RECAP: Chapter One: Lemons

"Look! I feel so strongly about you! You're the only one who can calm me down when I just get so pissed at that bastard Yuki, and well EVERYONE for that matter!! I want to know if I can have you, for myself! I want you by my side after high school, when I go back to train. I feel like I need you Tohru!" Kyo blurted out, his emotions raging and his face burning. This wasn't the way he wanted to say this but it just sort of happened. He buried his hands in his face and tangled his fingers in his burning orange hair.

Tohru was taken by surprise, no one had ever confessed feelings like this to Tohru. She didn't know what to make of it all when she said……

CHAPTER TWO: Grapes

"Kyo, I value our friendship and I thank you greatly for telling me this, no one has ever said something so beautiful to me since my mother died, but you, you are my brother." Tohru had said this ever so softly, looking off into the distance, thinking of true feelings, the feelings she must hide.

Kyo couldn't quite read Tohru's face, but he felt she was hiding something from him. This made him angry and he felt he had been betrayed.

"It's that bastard Yuki, isn't it!?!?" Kyo accused with wide eyes, almost swelling with tears. Kyo had now stood up on the roof, waving his arms wildly and yelling like a madman. "He beats me at EVERYTHING you know, and all the girls faun over him! I thought just once someone would want ME, I thought you would love me!"

Tohru stopped staring off, put her feelings into the back of her mind, and looked at Kyo, shocked. "No Kyo! That's not it! Yuki is also a brother to me, you both have an equal space in my heart, I can never love one of you more than the other, that's just not fair!" Tohru had plead, and by this point, she too, was on the brink of tears. She didn't know how she could calm him down, but she did know that in her heart, they were both…just brothers.

The idea of dating, it hurt Tohru because she knew she could never have that, she refused herself from ever loving a person more than her mother or grandpa. To Tohru, she didn't want to forget her mother. It would be disrespectful and unkind, therefore, loving another person so deeply, was forbidden. She wasn't lying to anyone, just blocking herself off from ever falling in love.

"Please Kyo, believe me. The only person I can love so deeply, is my dear mom, I love her, and I miss her so much. The Sohmas have all been kind to me, you all are my family, that is all." Tohru said quietly, looking down at her hands. The statement would have been true, if she hadn't had a secret to protect. "Kyo, please calm down, and sit, I'll go make dinner for us all. I'll try my hardest and make it delicious!" Tohru said, forcing a smile on her face, a tear running down her cheek.

By this time Kyo had caught a glimpse of Tohru's tear, and felt terrible for making the one he loved cry. The anger he held had disappeared and now was guilt. Kyo believed what Tohru had said, and even been bending down to come sit by her when they were interrupted.

"What's going on up here!? A lover's quarrel!? Please enlighten me on why dinner has not been made and why there's a bunch shouting. I don't want the police to come now, or worse maybe my editor has heard the noise and is coming to check on me!!!" Said a worried voice not too far away. It was Shigure, who had heard Kyo's little temper tantrum and was now climbing on the roof.

Once Shigure could see both Tohru and Kyo, he began to accuse Kyo playfully. "Now what did you do Kyo! You've made her cry!!"

Kyo, not realizing that Shigure was just kidding around got frustrated and began to yell at Shigure now. "Shut up Shigure! This is non of your business you DOG!"

"My my what an angry little pussy cat we have here!" Shigure had replied, unaffected by Kyo's obvious response.

Kyo was now enraged and was stomping over to Shigure, wanting to teach him a lesson by messing with him. Kyo may not have had a great chance against Yuki, but Shigure was old, he could take him. Tohru, was worried though, she didn't want another fight, the house had enough with Kyo and Yuki.

"Please stop Kyo, you could hurt yourself!" Tohru had asked of Kyo, she didn't like always asking for things, but she was worried and wanted everyone to be safe.

It was at this moment, when Tohru had asked Kyo to be safe, that he lost his balance and rolled down, off the roof.
