Chapter 2: Hurtful words

BRRINNGGG, BRRINNGG.

"Kyo you better go and find her before she gets lost out there." Shigure said nonchalantly as he went to go answer the phone. It was none other than Mii who was bawling because Shigure had just told her that he hadn't even started his manuscript, let alone finished it.

"I know… I'm on it"

"I'm coming too!" Momiji declared. His face had 'determined to find Tohru' written all over it.

"No Momiji… you can come next time, okay?"

Kyo hated to do this to Momiji but he'd rather go look for her alone than having Momiji whining that he is tired and want to go back in about 10 minutes.

"Promise?"

"I promise Momiji, now go and play with Shigure until I get back." Kyo grumbled these words but Momiji understood every last one. Kyo got a jacket and left the house.

"O Shiguuureeee!" Momiji called devilishly

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyo had set off to find his love.

How could I say that? I don't hate Tohru. What the hell is wrong with me? I love her. Damn it. I'm so stupid.

"Tohru!"

No answer.

Where is she? I hope she is okay. I wish I could just tell her how I feel. Damn! I want her so bad. I want her to be near me. I want to kiss her and smell the sweetness of her perfume on hey body. I want to hold her body close to mine. I want to lie next to her and play with her hair while she sleeps. Tohru why can't I tell you these things…

"Toooohruuu?"

sniff followed by a faint sob

Kyo had heard it, the faintest sob of his love crying.

He looked up.

Tohru was in a tree still crying, not as much as when she first started but it was enough. Kyo climbed the tree with great ease and sat next to her.

"I'm sorry sob that I made you angry, Kyo, please sob don't hate sob me."

"Why are you apologizing? I'm the one who should be… you know saying sorry"

"B… But"

"But nothing Tohru, I'm sorry, I really am. I didn't mean any of it." Kyo explained reaching his hand up to her face and gently wiping a tear off her cheek.

Tohru felt a little better but she couldn't help feeling that he wasn't telling her something. It was practically written on Kyo's face that something was bothering him.

"Kyo, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Here take this jacket. It's a bit chilly"

He was right because he could see Tohru's nipples hardening under her shirt. This turned him on a little bit.

Tohru kissed him softly on the cheek.

"Thank you Kyo"

Kyo was shocked his face beet red. Tohru had kissed him twice today. What did this mean, maybe nothing maybe something? I have to know.

And with that Kyo kissed Tohru. Softly and gently on her lips. To his surprise her lips were as soft and pouty has they were in his dream. He had lusted for her for so long and now he was here kissing her.

"Umm… Kyo… Where is this coming from? I thought you hated me."

"I told you, I don't hate you."

"Then why did you say it?"

"I didn't mean anything by it; it was just that Momiji and Shigure were on my case about liking you…"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Meanwhile back at the house)

"Shigure! I FOUND YOU!" Momiji said as he playfully pounced on Shigure wrestling with him to the floor.

Yuki had awakened from his peaceful slumber and was now heading downstairs. Still groggy he saw a playful Shigure lying on Momiji in a very odd position.

What the hell, that perv.

Shigure had realized Yuki was standing there with a disgusted look on his face.

"Uhh… Yuki it's not what it looks like." Shigure said giggling nervously

"What do you mean 'it's not what it looks like'? You have no idea what it looks like." Waving it off, Yuki went into the kitchen only to find that Miss Honda was not there.

"Shigure, where is Miss Honda?"

"Well… She ran off. Kyo went to go find her"

"SHE WHAT! Why?"

"Well… Kyo made her cry so…"

"I'll kill that Stupid cat." No sooner than he said that, Yuki was out the door.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Back at the tree)

"What did you say, Kyo"

"Umm… nothing" Kyo had just realized that what he had just said was the very thing he was trying to keep Momiji and Shigure from telling Tohru.

"Kyo… you can tell me anything, you know that right?"

"Fine… I said I liked you. But that's not true."

"So you hate me again?" Tohru said very confused

"No it's not that…"

Kyo grabbed her and pulled her closer to him. He held her ever so gently but very firm. Kyo kissed her again but this time he used his tongue to play with hers.

Tohru was extremely startled and surprised Kyo was kissing her this way. Without thinking, she pushed Kyo away causing him to fall out of the tree.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?"

"I'm so sorry, Kyo, I…"

"YOU WHAT? WERE TRYING TO KILL ME!"

"Kyo please… don't yell"

Tohru climbed out of the tree. She noticed that Kyo was bleeding and wanted to tend to his wounds.

"WHY THE HELL NOT, YOU PUSHED ME OUT OF A DAMN TREE!

"I'm really sorry Kyo." Tohru was trying to clean him up.

"DON'T TOUCH IT! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"Kyo…"

BOW!

Kyo was sent flying.

Yuki had seen Kyo fall out of the tree. He had run over as fast as he could. He was already angry at Kyo for making Tohru cry but as he got closer he could here him yelling at her too. Yuki was enraged and couldn't control himself. Out of reflexes Yuki had uppercut Kyo so hard he sent him flying.

That stupid cat. What the hell was he thinking yelling at Tohru like that? That damn cat is so stupid… if only he knew… Damn that baka neko!

"Miss Honda, are you okay" Yuki asked wiping a tear that had rolled down her cheek.

"Yuki, I'm fine, but I think Kyo is more hurt than I am."

"Forget about that stupid Cat. I'm taking you home"

Tohru didn't want to leave Kyo there in so much pain but she new that Yuki wouldn't let her stay. It was chilly and Yuki would hate for her to get sick.

"Okay, Yuki" Tohru forced a smiled as she and Yuki headed home.

Kyo was hurt. Both his pride and his heart were wounded.

Why did she do that. I guess I would've done the same thing if I were her. But I shouldn't have yelled at her. Damn it I got to control myself around her. I have to be patient with her. But Yuki…

"DAMN RAT!"
