Love Letters: Jealousy

It was the weekend but Kyo was really tired. He was tired of waiting for Yuki to come out of the grocery store. When he walked in he saw that he was talking to a girl. She was giggling.

The girl saw him and waved. With a bright smile she motioned for him to walk over. He did and when he got closer he realized who it was.

"Ryo, I didn't think I'd see you outside of school." Kyo was taken back.

She smiled. "That's because I work here silly."

"She helped pack our bags." Yuki said.

Kyo nodded and took the bags from her arms. Unlike every other employee she wasn't wearing an apron.

"I'm off for the day. I only have a part time job here." She explained.

He nodded again. He blushed when he saw another origami figure in the bag he was holding.

"What're you doing Kyo?" Tohru asked.

She knocked on his door but had received no reply. A light was on so she let herself in. Kyo was sitting at his desk counting little figures. Each figure was a different animal and color.

"I'm counting." He replied when she came up behind him.

"What're those things?"

"Origami … I think." He sounded unsure of himself.

"I didn't know you liked origami."

"I don't."

"Then why do you have so many of them?"

"I don't have that many."

"You have thirty of them Kyo. You even have them lined up in rows of five."

Kyo looked at all the origami he had laid out. They were in fact as she said lined up. Even on weekends she manages to slip a few origami to him. He probably would've had more but she was sick and out of school for a few days.

It was when Tohru pointed out how many he had that he realized he wished he knew what they meant.

"If you want to talk to her I can invite her over to have dinner." Tohru offered.

"You'd do that?"

Tohru nodded. "Yeah if it's what you want I'll be glad to help."

"So Ryo do you live near here?" Shigure asked. She nodded. "You go to the same school as these guys right?" She nodded again. "So are you all friends?"

"Well we all have a couple classes together. I'd say that we're pretty good friends though." Ryo said giving her bright smile.

Kyo couldn't help but stare at it. Embarrassed he put his head down and began to eat. It wasn't the first time that he caught himself staring at her smile.

"How's work?" Yuki asked her.

"Good. My paycheck is just enough to cover rent and get me through the week. I'm thinking of getting a second job." Ryo confessed.

"If you need any financial aid just let us know." Shigure said giddily.

"Oh no I wouldn't do that. My parents send some money to me every once and a while." Ryo said shaking her head.

Tohru cleaned up all the dishes alone. Ryo offered to help but she refused. Shigure had a phone call to take so he went outside. Yuki retreated to his room to leave Ryo and Kyo alone.

Ryo sat there in an uncomfortable silence. Kyo wanted to say something but when he opened his mouth no words came out.

That's when he remembered something. A week from now was going to be a school dance. Christmas vacation was going to be soon so his school was host a dance.

He could ask her. But how would he do it without making a full out of himself?

"So … the dance is soon. Are you going?" Ryo asked.

"I don't think I'm going to go. I don't normally do stuff like that." Kyo snorted.

She muttered the word "Oh" expecting him not to hear her. Admittedly she was a little disappointed but she couldn't show it. At least she had her cousin or his friend to take her.

"Are you going?" Kyo asked.

Ryo's sad expression all of a sudden became happy. "Yeah of course I'm going! I was going to go to the Welcome Back to School Dance but my brother was in town from college."

"Hmm so are you planning on going with anyone?"

She shook her head. "No I don't think so. My cousin was going to take me but he doesn't like going to dances. He said he wanted to keep an eye on me after what happened."

"Well it's getting late. Maybe I should leave." Ryo said getting up.

Kyo got up too. "I'll walk you home if you want."

"Sure, that'd be great."

Ryo smiled as she closed the door and walked into her apartment. She may have been alone but she was in a good mood.

Over on her bed were a couple origami that she made before she left. She was considering bringing them with her and giving them to Kyo but decided not to. If she did he would probably get mad.

A/N: This one is much shorter than the first chapter. The first chapter didn't really get reviews so I made this one short and sweet. You can find me on two other websites yay right?
