"Kyo! This is going to be so much fun! I can't wait until tommorrow!" Tohru giggled as she skipped down the street.
"Uh-huh." Kyo muttered. She really did look stupid like that. Stupid but cute. Hey, WHAT? Where did that come from? He didn't think Tohru was cute! Well, maybe a little. Ok, a lot.
"Oof!" Tohru landed on the ground, after crashing into a lamp pole.
"Stupid..." Kyo held a hand out to help her up. "You know, you should really watch where you walk."
"I do! I just get distracted sometimes." Tohru replied.
"Oh really?" Kyo asked amused. "And what was there to distract you right now?"
"Um...er...eh..." Tohru turned red. "Nothing! I, uh, got to go and buy some things for dinner! See you later Kyo-kun!"
"Stupid..." Kyo shook his head. He decided he would take a walk around. He walked down the street, his mind still completley on Tohru. By the time he got home, it was getting dark, and he was getting a little worried about Tohru. He knew she hated the dark, and he didn't want to know what kind of trouble she would get into, especially carrying a bunch or grocery bags. However, all these fears were completely banished from his mind the second he walked through the door.
"Hello, Kyonkyon!" Shigure's head popped up out of nowhere with a mischevious smile on his face. "What's this I hear about you being married to my precious flower?
"Gah! I am NOT married to her! And stop calling her your flower!" Kyo yelled and stomped upstairs.
"Stupid cat, if you're going to shout, do it outside." Yuki said heading downstairs.
"Dumb rat." Kyo muttered. He sat on the roof, watching the darkness fall steadily over the light. What was he going to do? This stupid class. Whoever thought of it was a complete idiot. This class was just a way to humiliate people. Namely him. "Argh!" What was he going to do? It was bad enough being married. But being married to a girl he lived with? Ok, not a good thing. That sucked enough. It was made worse by the fact that it was Tohru in the first place. She was entirely clueless. He let a small smile grace his features, making him look even handsomer than ever. But that smile was quickly replaced by a frown. Yuki...he really was going to kill that damn rat. He was going to have to find revenge. He heard a call up the stairs.
"Kyo! Do you know where Tohru is? I haven't seen her since I got home!" Yuki's worried voice came up the stairs.
"What? She's not back yet?" Kyo scrambled down off the roof, and went down to the living room.
"Where did she go?" Yuki asked.
"To the grocery store. She needed to pick some stuff up for dinner." Kyo replied.
"And you let her go alone. Just what I would expect from a stupid cat." Yuki said disgusted.
"Oh, Kyo. You're married to her after all. You couldn't help your wife carry home groceries?" Shigure's annoying voice cut in.
"SHE'S NOT MY WIFE!!!!" Kyo yelled. "IT'S JUST A STUPID PROJECT!!! I DON'T LIKE HER AT ALL!!! GOT IT?"
Out in the hall, Tohru's face dropped. A single tear worked its way down her cheek. She quickly straightened up, hearing footsteps heading for the door.
"Even if you don't care for her, stupid cat, I do. I'm going to go look for her." Yuki grabbed his jacket and headed to the door, only to stop at the sight of Tohru.
"Hey you dumb rat! I never said I don't--Tohru?" Kyo's voice was heard. Tohru quickly brought the bags up to cover her face so no one would see that she had been crying.
"Hi! I just got back from shopping. I'm going to go make dinner now!" She rushed to kitchen and started to cook.
"Good going, stupid cat." Yuki said, disgusted again.
"What did I do?" Kyo asked confused. Yuki just sighed and walked upstairs. Shigure made some excuse about going to work on his books and ran upstairs as well. The only thing Kyo could think was that he had somehow made Tohru sad. Yuki usually didn't act like that unless Tohru was involved.
"Hey." Kyo knocked on the frame of the door. "Mind if I come in?"
"Oh! Kyo-kun! Of course not. Come in!" Tohru turned back to the stove. Kyo silently walked over, right behind her.
"Leeks?"
"AAH! Oh, Kyo-kun you scared me!" Tohru stepped backwards, her hands flying to her mouth. Kyo leaned over her and stirred the pot.
"You know, it's going to burn if you don't keep stirring." Kyo said quietly. Tohru blushed so hard that she couldn't have turned redder if she smeared ketchup over her face. He was after all, standing with pretty much his arms around her.
"Um...yes, of course Kyo-kun!" She turned around and grabbed the spoon herself. But Kyo didn't let go of the spoon. Tohru had no idea what the feeling in her stomach was. All she knew was that she liked it. A lot.
"Well, well, well. Isn't this cozy?" Shigure leaned against the door, a smirk on his face. Kyo leapt back from Tohru as if he had been burned.
"Shigure..."
"Eeek! Kyo-kun's scary!" Shigure ran from the room. Kyo growled and started out after him. Tohru giggled and turned back to the pot.
"Hey Tohru?" Kyo stopped for a second.
"Yes Kyo-kun? Tohru asked.
"Hey whatever I did...well, I'm...I'm...sorry." Kyo blushed and and left the room.
Tohru turned around once again, realizing that that was Kyo's akward way of apologizing. She smiled and started humming, tommorrow was definetly going to be a fun day.
