Kyo took a deep breath, and carefully picked Tohru up, trying to be gentle so she didn't wake up. He didn't want to climb down the ladder, in fear that he would drop her. He held her slightly away from him as he jumped off the roof. He slid open the door with his foot, walking inside to put her to bed.

Yuki was already asleep, it was past 10 o'clock. But he heard Shigure 'Ooh' as he saw Kyo carried Tohru. No likely think perverted thought like the horny dog he was.

"Shut up you damn dog. She fell asleep on the roof." He said through gritted teeth.

"Don't do anything I would do." He sang as he went up to type his manuscript before his manager started to panic again. Kyo rolled his eyes and set Tohru on her bed. Her brown hair splayed around her, she turned on her side, and curled into fetal position, holding her hands close to her face. He thought people were supposed to look peaceful when they slept, but he could see just how tired Tohru was while she slept.

If only she knew how he felt. He would treat her so much better then Tamoya treated her, and yet, she chose him. As long as she was happy, he was happy, because he cared about her.

Kyo jogged down the stairs, following his nose. Tohru once again had woken up early to cook the Soma boys a good breakfast. She hummed in the kitchen, swayed back and forth as she cooked an omelette for everyone. Her face scrunched up slightly in concentration as she tried to make sure everyone would like theirs.

Kyo grunted as he entered the kitchen, grabbing a cartoon of milk with his name on it. Tohru turned to him and smiled one of those big ridiculous smiles she tends to do.

"Did you guys really start buying milk just so I could drink it out of the cartoon?"

"Yes," Tohru said matter of factually. "Thank you for last night Kyo. I appreciate you being there."

"Are you gonna try to talk to him?"

"Well he'll be here any minute to walk with us to school, so maybe tonight at dinner." Kyo's heart dropped slightly as he turned away.

"That's great." His voice was flat. Sure, he was glad she was happy, but that didn't mean he was happy about it. He went upstairs to shower, passing Yuki.

"What's with the long face Cat?" The prince sneered

"What's it to you Rodent?" Kyo tried to swing towards him, but landed his fist in the wall. Kyo sighed and continued to walk up the stairs. Yuki raised his leg in a kick that sent Kyo flying. Kyo cursed as he fell to the ground. He huffed and angrily headed to the bathroom.

The cold water flowed down Kyo's back, he lifted his head up to the water, trying to calm his thoughts. His head was filled with images of Tohru and Tamoya, holding each other, and kisses, and rolling in the sheets. It made him sick. Especially if Tamoya was pressuring her into something she wasn't ready for. But Kyo was sure as hell going to make sure she was safe.

He heard Tamoya enter the kitchen, shouting for Tohru. She must have gone upstairs to change. Kyo turned off the water and through a towel around his waist before starting for his room. As soon as he opened the door, Tohru was also leaving her room.

She turned scarlet as she saw Kyo with only a towel on. She had seen him shirtless before, but shirtless after a shower was different. But she had a boyfriend- who was great, and nice-ish, and most importantly, not cursed. Tamoya was not cursed.

He heard Tamoya call for Tohru again. Tohru's eyes looked at the ground, probably still thinking about last night. But when she looked up, she smiled. Her and Kyo locked eyes, before she passed him, heading downstairs. He could smell her strawberry shampoo while he followed behind her. She ran to Tamoya, he wrapped an arm halfheartedly around her while he eyed the lunch she packed for them.

'That asshole,' thought Kyo. 'If I had the chance to hug her I'll be damn sure it isn't just some halfhearted one arm bull shit like that was'. Kyo started to walk out the door. As long as she's happy, he'll be happy.

Because he cared, and that asshole wasn't cursed.

A/N I know Kyo might be a little OOC, but I like to think that in his thoughts he isn't yelling, and that when Tohru is involved he tries not to get as angry, as we've seen through the anime. Again, please read and Review.
