Tohru stepped out her bedroom, brushing a few stray strands of hair out of her face. It was the first night back since the "rescue", as Shigure had put it, had been performed and completed.

Still flustered by the fact that both Yuki and Kyou had went through all that trouble to find her and bring her back, she deeply desired a chance to speak to them both. Preferably Kyou for he seemed the most emotional at the time, and was displaying things he had never shown her before.

Tiptoeing through the dark house, she went to the kitchen in hopes of getting some tea and ponder over what the say to the cat in the morning, but was slightly alarmed to see Kyou seated on the porch outside. Swallowing nervously, she approached.

"K-Kyou-kun?"

"Gya!" Kyou jumped, frazzled. "Oh, it's you. Why do you gotta sneak up on people like that?"

"I'm sorry!" She bowed her head, embarrassed.

She looked up when Kyou grunted. "Eh, never mind. What are you doing up?"

"Oh, uh, I was getting tea!" She blurted eagerly.

"This late?" He raised an eyebrow.

"I couldn't sleep." Was her meek reply.

Kyou snorted, waving a hand towards the kitchen. "Well, don't keep me from making your tea. Go get some and get to bed."

"Y-yes!" She was about to rush to perform said task, but paused, remembering that she wanted to speak with him. "Eh, Kyou-kun?"

"What?"

"I--well, thank you!" She bowed her head repeatedly. "For earlier, you know. For taking me back even though you didn't have to."

Kyou blinked back at her, his flushed face hidden by shadows. He then made another noise, letting a smirk settle on his features. "Yeah, well, like I said, next time if you really didn't want to leave you should have said so in the first place."

Tohru smiled sheepishly. "Are you sure--"

"In your case it would be okay to complain, be selfish, say what you want once in a while. It's okay." He finished with a mumble.

"Well, okay then!" Kyou looked up at the beaming brunette. "I would like to thank you for bringing me home by making you tea! Don't go anywhere--" She froze. "--erm, please?" She then rushed off to make them both the tea.

She never saw the smile that settled on the boy's face.
