Chapter Two: Philemaphobia
"The fear of kissing."
There was a soft tune in the air, but no music was playing, no birds singing. Someone was humming happily. A young woman stood outside on a lovely morning, hanging clothes on the laundry line. The wind played with her brown hair, allowing it to flutter about in mid-air. The teen sighed and a small smile played across her light pink lips. She blinked before hanging the final piece of Kyo's laundry.
Tohru Honda stopped humming and looked up at the sky. "It's beautiful, Mom." The sky was a pale light blue with fluffy clouds. The sun's rays were warming up her body and she closed her chocolate eyes and let her mind drift into a peaceful state with no worry.
"Honda-san?"
The onigiri faintly blushed and smiled even more. She knew that voice. "Konichiwa, Yuki-kun! Did I wake you?" It was still quite early for the nezumi to be up, and she worried she had waken him.
The teen with gorgeous amethyst eyes and tousled violet hair grinned. "Iie, Honda-san. I just heard a lovely tune and decided to see what it was." Tohru fully blushed this time, causing Yuki to chuckle softly. "Need any help?" he asked.
Tohru smiled. "I thought Shigure-kun said you were awful around the house!" she joked. This time, it was Yuki's turn to blush. "Ah…well I thought I'd help," he shrugged. "Sure!" she smiled brightly. Truly, being with Yuki-and all the other Sohmas- made her so happy. And it was moments like this, moments with Yuki, that she treasured the most…
"Ano…like this?"
Tohru turned around. Yuki was holding one of Shigure's yukatas up in the air and clipping one side to the line. The onigiri smiled and nodded her head. "Yupp!" She handed him another clip for the other side and he clipped it. After a couple minutes, they had finished Shigure's laundry and were done for a while, so they decided to head back to the house.
"So, Yuki-kun, how's your Secret Base? I haven't visited in a while," Tohru stated cheerfully. Yuki grinned at her. "Well, it's really our base now since you've been helping me so much, ne Honda-san? Anyway, it's been fine. The leeks are almost ready to pick and so are the carrots. Then I'm guessing that next month or so, the strawberries will be ready." Tohru blushed again, turning her head the other way so he wouldn't see her red face. "That's g-great, Y-Yuki-kun! Arigatou. Ooo, and I can't wait for the strawberries!" she said.
"Yea," Yuki whispered before turning his head up to the sky. Tohru began to say something as she whipped her head back to see Yuki. "Yu--" She paused. The sun was haloing his face, the light making him seem unreal and even princelier. "Ah…" she whispered. The wind blew, causing his lilac hair to rustle past his face. Hi amethyst eyes shifted to meet hers and she gasped. "OH MY GOSH, MOM! I WAS TOTALLY OGLING AT HIM!" she thought.
She flailed her arms in the air and was about to blurt out her apologies, when she stepped in a hole…
"EEEK!" she screamed as her foot caught in it and she began to fall forward. Yuki gasped. "Tohru!" "Ano…?" Tohru thought happily. She felt strong arms grip her waist and then flip her to the side. :THUD: "EH?" Tohru asked worriedly.
She had landed on Yuki's arm as he was trying to protect her from falling flat on her face. She had ended up on her side, and Yuki lay beside her. She felt his arm twitch and gasped.
"Yuki, Sumimasen! Oh dear…Sumimasen! Oh!"
Yuki had rolled over to her and then slid his arm out. Then he had put his other arm on Tohru's other side. He was far enough away from her so that he wouldn't transform, but he was still over her. Tohru blushed. Yuki was looming over her…just staring at her…
"Wow…She's so beautiful…" Yuki thought. "She's like an angel…" He reached out to curl a long lock of her thick brunette hair with his finger and he blushed at its softness. He looked down at her reddened face and blushed even more. "Oh…Honda-san, Sumimasen!" he said hurriedly. He didn't mean to zone out on her like that while he was still on top of her. He let go of the curl he had formed around his finger and looked into her large eyes, seeing if she was offended.
Tohru softly smiled as her blush increased. Hesitantly, she reached a finger out to silence Yuki. "Tohru…" she whispered to him. He gasped. Had he called her by her real name? He had had the urge to for quite a long time now, but he hadn't voiced his thoughts out loud.
Her finger on his lips made Yuki blush furiously, and he was about to move but his arms felt like jelly. "Uh-oh…" he thought frantically. Dazzling amethyst eyes and soft chocolate ones met, emotions swirling within them. Yuki made a soft moan and gingerly began bowing his head down closer to Tohru's face.
"Oh, god…stop. Stop! What if she hates me! We have such a good friendly relationship! I don't want to ruin it! Kuso! I…I can't…iie…Tohru…"
Yuki bent down farther till his soft lips brushed hers. He squeezed his eyes shut, waiting for a scared squeal, but he didn't hear it. Doki doki doki doki! "Hmmm…" a soft voice replied. Yuki gasped slightly. Was that Tohru? He looked into her eyes and she stared back knowingly, smiling that trade-mark grin of hers.
A smile began edging is way along Yuki's features and he leaned down closer, propping himself on his elbows so that he could hold her face, though making sure that their bodies wouldn't make contact. Just as his soft lips brushed against hers once again, the ground rumbled and Tohru squeaked. Yuki, finally regaining his arms, moved off of her and stood up. Then he extended a hand to help her up. "Are you ok, Honda-san?" he asked softly, keeping his head the other way to conceal his blush.
Tohru tried to hide her disappointment at Yuki not calling her Tohru. She smiled and nodded, grabbing his hand. He pulled her up and then suddenly, the ground stopped shaking. Curiosity filled the two young adults and they cautiously walked towards the front door.
:BAM: Tohru gasped. "ACK!" she yelled as she saw the female adult's body slam on the door side. "Oi! What the-" a gruff voice said. The door slammed open and there stood Kyo. "OI, I said--" he started again. The orange haired teen gasped.
"Kyo…my love…why…why haven't you called me?" Kagura Sohma asked quietly, her head down. Kyo tensed. "Why…? Why? Kyo…sweetheart…lover…I…I…" Kyo shifted his body back around and began sprinting back into the house. "I MISSED YOUUUUU!" Kagura screamed, careening herself on top of Kyo.
"DAMMIT, WOMAN! GET THE HELL OFF ME!" "BUT KYO, DARLING!" "IIE! IIE, YOU CRAZY WOMAN!" "KUSO! KYO, MY LOVE, I ONLY WANT TO LOVE YOU!" "I DON'T THINK LOVE INVOLVES VIOLENCE, KAGURAAA!" "BUT THAT'S MY WAY OF TELLING YOU HOW MUCH I CARE FOR YOU! AND I DO, KYO! I CARE FOR YOU DEEPLY!" "I DON'T WANT YOUR MUSH, WOMAN! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" "IIE! I LOVE YOU, DAMMIT!"
Crashes, screams, yells, strangled yelps, and much more violent sounds could be heard from within the house. Yuki and Tohru sweat dropped and remained outside. One more loud crash was heard and then, "Kyo? Love! Who did this to you?"
"Iieee! My poor house!" a sorrowful voice yelled helplessly.
Yuki snickered at the sound of the inu's voice. "Poor Shigure-kun!" Tohru thought worriedly as she rushed into the house to see the damage.
After an hour or so, Kagura had calmed down and was now seated between Tohru and Shigure and across from Kyo at the table. Yuki sat by Tohru and Kyo. Bandages covered the neko's body. "Kuso…" he hissed. "Kyo…you know…you wouldn't make me so mad if you just picked up the phone once and a while and called me…. I just want to hear from you occasionally," Kagura complained softly. Kyo sighed and put a hand on his face.
KNOCK KNOCK!
Shigure excused himself from the table and got up. He opened the door and smiled playfully. "Konichiwa, Ha'ri! So nice of you to drop by! You're just in time. Tohru is preparing dinner and--"
"Shigure…" an icy voice said sternly. Shigure looked into Hatori's eyes and his brow creased. Hatori looked way serious than he always was. The doctor seemed worn out and worried too. Hatori made a resigned sigh before he opened his mouth to speak.
"We need to talk…"
