Special thanks to the reviewers.

Clannad

Then He Kiss Me Softly

Chapter II

One's Happiness Is Another's Sadness.

Dear Dairy

Summer is coming soon and the weather is already showing signs of it.

Still, I'm a senior and I won't be enjoying the summer as I used to, with all the supplementary classes that I will be taking I'm afraid I won't have to time to enjoy it with my boyfriend or with my sister.

In speaking of my sister, I'm still worry about her, I never see her smile anymore ever since that day...in junior high. I can still hear her crying in her sleep...

Kappei tells me to be there for her for better or for worse and I will be with her, hopefully for the best.

Sunohara-kun made a pleasant surprise when he arrives to our house last night, and I hope someday that he and my sister well be as close like they used to.

Kappei and I share the same idea to leave those two alone as he dragged me out of the house so we could be alone. I didn't mind.

But it is wrong for me to be the only one that happy?

Ryou Fujibayashi

Its morning, Kyou stir in her slumber as the rays of the sun shine down through her window, she roll over to her side to try to avoid the sunlight that crept in. She sigh as she try to go back to sleep to enjoy the dream she with Tomoya. Both of them sat in a grassy hill to enjoy their picnic they both shared, they fed each other their sandwiches' and embrace the warm breeze. Kyou blush when Tomoya leaned in to kiss her and she responded the same and rush her lips into his.

Her eyes close as her lips pressed up against his, she felt uncomfortable when his kisses became hard. He's being too forceful she thought. Her lips went numb and it hurt as his kisses grew harder.

"Tomoya..." she mumbled through the kiss. "You're being too hard...on me," she began to cry.

Eventually his kisses were soft and tender she loved every second of it. As her eyes open to see Youhei in front of her, a moan escapes her when his kisses became even softer. After a few seconds she finally realize what was going on and pushed him away and punch him in the face.

Kyou woke up with a shriek and a surge of pain entered her as she punch the wall leaving a small fist shape dent.

"Ouch ouch," she whine as she jumped out of her bed and onto the floor. "Argh....why the hell am I dreaming of Sunohara?" she ask herself. "He is a retard, a loser and most important of all, what will people think? Sunohara and I, a couple? People are going to hate us being a couple." She groans when she laid back on the edge of the bed. "Only society well accepts Tomoya and I...(1)" she agree to herself.

She immediately thought back on what happen on last night and the moment with Sunohara and where she was on top of him, her body pressing up against him his eyes so deep. She shook her head forcing that memory back in her mind.

He is a loser...a loser, and he doesn't deserve you. The only one for you is Tomoya.

"Puhi Puhi..." a baby boar cuddled against her thigh.

"Oh Botan!" she picked up the baby boar and hugged her tightly. "So where were you hiding last night?" she giggled.

Botan just rubbed against her and smiled up at her. Kyou kissed the top of the baby boar's head as Botan rested on her chest.

"Botan, you have no idea how lucky you are," she whispers to her ear. "You don't have to worry about reputation and love," she started to cry; in response Botan licked Kyou neck and it tickled her.

Kyou giggled.

"Thanks Botan."

She sighed again and glanced at her study papers on the table from last night, she became to understand it now...but she still had to actually get the correct answers... which meant she still had to study on a Sunday. But there was no way she would study so early in a beautiful morning, after a long bath with Botan, she decided to go for a walk.

"Hey Yoshino-senpei," Sunohara calls out from the side of the electric post high above the ground.

"Yes Sunohara-kun?" Yoshino replies from the opposite side peaking over to face him.

Both of them were at opposite sides of the electric post, doing some maintenance on the power generators and electric cables. Sunohara moved to high school dorms after he couldn't stand the overwhelmed pressure from both his parents fighting with each other. Luckily for him he manage to get a job working for the town with Yoshino a former musician and idol so he can pay the fee for staying in the dorms.

Many times the thought of just moving back to his house with less hassle of making ends meet. But the fact of passing by Kyou house or even seeing her when he walked to school brought sadness in him, and that is enough to convince not too.

"You think that I am to pick up some extra shifts in the future?" he handed over a wench to him.

"Oh? Are you having money issues Sunohara-kun?" Yoshino became to finish up doing the repairs.

"Well...no I just have a lot of free time on my hands so I think 'why not?'" he force out laugh.

Yoshino stared at the young man for a few seconds and shrugged his shoulders.

"You're still young Sunohara-kun, you should go out and enjoy you're youth, enjoy it with your friends, do it for love" he answered.

"Well... that's just it; I don't have any friends or love, not anymore."

"Oh...but I see you with some other people from time to time."

"You mean the basketball team? I am more of their slave than anything else..." Sunohara pointed at his black eye.

"They gave you that?"

"Yeah it's their little cerebration game after they when win a basket ball game, they play a game called 'Target', where they throw basket ball at my face," he explain.

"That's cruel...you shouldn't let them do that to you," Yoshino scolded him.

"Yeah what else can I do? Me fight against society?"

"Hey," Yoshino laid his hand on the young man's shoulder. "Let me see what I can do about the extra shifts."

"Thanks...."

"Ahhh," Kyou stretched her arms in delight as the warm sun embraced her soft body when she relaxes herself on chair. She sat outside of a cafe shop near the market district of the city and enjoyed her third cup of coffee, the pleasant sounds of the birds only added on to comfortable environment. The sky was beautiful, and the wind gentle, a perfect day to try her new outfit as it brought out her features quite well. She needed something to make her feel good about herself, since the great weather alone is not enough to ease her pain from the study papers that laid before her.

Kyou sighed as she went back from beautiful weather to her ugly erased pencil marks of her note book. Fortunately her body was fuelled with enough caffeine to jump start a race house, and she needed if she was going to survive the endurance.

"Are you studying Fujibayashi?" A voice asked.

Kyou look over then immediately blush as Tomoya stood a few feet away from her.

Its Tomoya...just be calm and natural...

"Oh hi Tomoya how is it going, I see you have new shoes on!" Kyou beam as she punches him in the shoulder.

Stupid coffee....

"Ouch, easy Fujibayashi, you wouldn't want the star basket ball player to quit on the count of a bad shoulder injury would you?" he smiled. "I'm also relieved you are feeling better, Fujibayashi..May I?" he asked as he pointed over the empty chair in front of her.

Kyou nods, her blush deepened as Tomoya sat down on the chair. She crossed her legs rested her arms on the arm-chair and sat back. Fortunately for Tomoya but unfortunately for Kyou she didn't even realize than when she sat back; her blouse stretch out showing the outline of her bust in extra detail underneath through the fabric, in front of the man she madly in love with. Tomoya grin and kept it to himself as he did enjoy the view, of course he was subtle about it.

"You studying?" he asked again.

"Yeah..." Kyou sigh as she put a hand on her forehead with a hint of a headache soon to come. "It would be much easier if Sunohara wasn't working today so he can teach and stuff," she quickly put a hand over her mouth as her secret slipped.

Tomoya raised an eye brow.

"You being tutored by that loser, Fujibayashi?" he asked bitterly.

"He really isn't that bad...if you take the time to know him," she replies rather hurt how Tomoya reacted about it.

Tomoya just shrugged his shoulders.

"I rather not waste my time on him to be honest," he yawns. "Besides you shouldn't hang out with him in public, your reputation will be ruined," he added.

Kyou nodded slowly.

"Anyway," Tomoya's harsh tone changed into a more casual one. "I was hoping to see you again Fujibayashi."

"Oh?" she smiled.

"Yeah," he nodded. "I was hoping we can go out again, since the last night didn't turn out so well," he smiled.

Kyou blush again and looked away, her heart started to pound wildly. Her embarrassment hasten, as she clearly remembered dashing away from him when she threw up her food and onto his shoes after forcing the octopus deep into her throat. She took a quick glance at him to notice that he continue to smile at her making her even more embarrassed.

"You're very cute when you blush like that Fujibayashi," he chuckled and reached over put his hand on her cheek.

Kyou gasped as she felt the warmth of his hand she looked at him she couldn't help but be drawn into his eyes. She closed her eyes as he stroked her cheek with his thumb and gave her pleasant shock waves throughout her body and she sighed again wishing he continued when he stop. When she opened her eyes he stilled smiled at her.

"So how about it, how about another outing...this time without throwing up," Tomoya asked.

"But...but I have to study..." she mumbled.

"It will be only a few hours and besides..." he paused as he leaned forward into her. "Besides who knows what could happen..."

"Like what?" she asked as she leaned forward completely drawn into him as she prepared to be kissed.

Tomoya pause and chuckled as he pulled back from her, much to Kyou dissatisfaction and heartache, she really wanted to kiss him. A devious grinned escape his lips as he notice her disappointment which made him almost give into her, but he decided to wait it out.

"You have to come with me and find out then Fujibayashi," he moved his hand from her cheek and took her hand in his. "So let's go...Fujibayashi," he guided her up with him.

"Please call me Kyou," she asked as she continued to blush.

Kyou couldn't believe where she was, sitting in a canoe in a city's park river with Tomoya rowing down the stream. She lean over and glaze through the water with her hand and smell the fresh air, this was much better than studying she admitted for some stupid math test. What make this so perfect that they were both alone, no one to bother them, no annoying fan club to stalk her and take notes with every tiny thing she does or doesn't.

If someone did in fact see them together in this non-date, the rumours will fly like crazy and it would make her lack of private life even more lacking. She gritted her teeth as that single thought enters her mind and she punches the water and sat back in the canoe.

"Something wrong Kyou?" Tomoya asked as he noticed Kyou being rather aggressive.

"No...I just afraid someone might catch us." she reply as she stare at the clear blue sky and felt the cold breeze from the river. "Who knows what will happen."

"Are you afraid to be seen with me?" Tomoya asked as he set the paddles aside leaving the canoe idle as the current of the river pushed them.

"What?" she rose up, her voice stammered as her face blushed. "No! That... isn't what I meant...," she stammered even more and she wildly waved her hands in front of them. "What I mean is that the whole school will blow this way out of propulsion, and it hard enough as it is to go through a day of school without being irritated by other people," she try her best to explain in a calm way; but the caffeine from three cups of coffee was still in her body and instead it all blurted out all at once.

The young man smile and rest himself at the edge of the canoe and pokes her foot with his toe.

"Relax Kyou, I understand how you feel," he replied.

"You do?"

"Yeah, believe or not but I don't really like the attention the girls give me, I'm flattered...but the way they act towards be gets on my nerves," he rubbed his forehead as a headache approached him. "I wish they are like you Kyou," he beams at her causing her to blush.

"Like me?" she repeated.

"Yeah like you," he leaned forward to her with a smile. "Kyou, you're pretty, intelligent, and the most important of all...fun to be with," he added with extra detail causing Kyou heart to beat further. "I've always been looking for a girl that I can actually relax with...and I think you're the one."

"Oh...Tomoya." Kyou stuttered on her words as she triy to find the right words but it all turn out as gibberish which caused her to be even more humiliated.

Kyou needed to try to calm herself down or else she will defiantly capsize the canoe making this perfect day into a disaster. She counted to ten in her mind and took a deep breath to calm herself, but the cute puzzle gaze from Tomoya didn't help.

Kyou just calm down, and relax, this isn't really a date remember? But it's not is it? She second guessed herself in her head. Why else would he bring us into such a romantic location? She asked herself.

A splash of water hit her face waking her up from her thoughts escaped her, Kyou swiftly looked back and a laughing Tomoya. The cold water ran down her face and down onto her shoulders and she shivered.

"Hey!" she yelled as she shoved her hand in the water and splashed him back. "There were even!" she grins.

"Yep, were even, you seem to day dream a lot Kyou."

"Sorry, I just have a hard time relaxing with this math test coming up."

"I can help you with that Kyou," he took both her hands and she found herself resting against him.

She sat directly in front of him, her back was on his chest and his arms wrap around her waist. His warm breath touch the back of her neck and brought a pleasant tingling down her spine.

"Is it working?" he whispers into her ear.

"Yes...." she smiled, but frowned as clouds started to form up in sky.

"Wait... you mean to tell me that that Sunohara has feelings for your sister Kyou, but she has feelings for Tomoya?" Kappei ask as he drank the last of his juice box and toss it the garbage bin as he walked passes it.

"It's hard to explain Kappei," Ryou replied.

Both of them had free time on Sunday and they both decide to go for a walk and share the weather, however Ryou was still worried about her sister happiness. She always been worried about her sister well being, and Kappei tried his very best to comfort and support her to the fullest.

"To be honest, this sounds like something from a cheesy romance movie," Kappei joked but his smiled disappeared as Ryou let go of his arm and stopped in her tracks. Ryou frowned at him and Kappei awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"Kappei...this is serious, this is my sister were talking about," she scolded him.

"You're right, I'm sorry," he apologized and placed his hands on her shoulders. "I was just trying to lighten up to mood Ryou," he explained. "It isn't good for your heath Ryou... your stressed as it is," he gave her a huge look of concerned.

Ryou tightly hugged him and kiss him on the cheek.

"I know Kappei," she gave him a sweet smile. "It's our duty to care about each other, after all were sisters." Ryou took his arm and they began to walk again. "She always cared about me when we were children, but lately seems been distant from me..." she leaned on Kappei shoulder. "I guess she feels that she doesn't need to protect me anymore." She started to cry.

Kappei held close to her as they walked through the park and kissed her on the forehead.

"Ryou... listen," Kappei paused. "Be strong for your sister; believe in her that she will be happy one day."

Ryou nodded.

"I think it's going to rain soon," Kappei stared at the darken clouds.

When he entered, Sunohara fully took in the smell of fresh bread in his nostrils; he loved the smell of it. It was one of the few things he still enjoyed that wasn't strip from him, not yet anyway.

"Hey kid, you're back already?" a man asked as he took a puff of his cigarette.

This man is Furukawa Akio, him and his wife, Sanae, run the bakery together, their Bakery is well known during most of the city and business is always well.

"Oh course!" Sunohara beamed. "I just have the usual."

"You really like my wife's special bread don't you, everyone doesn't even want it," Akio grinned as he leaned back on the chair.

"Well the bread and I have something in common then Furukawa-san," Sunohara shrugged his shoulders.

Akio smile disappeared as with his cigarette.

"How much for the whole tray?"

"Tell you what kid; just for today, take it." Akio offered.

"You sure, there's a lot."

Akio just shrugged.

"Everyone needs a little break in life, besides it would make my wife feel better knowing that her special bread isn't a failure."

Just as Akio finished his sentence; a soft sobbed came from the direction of the doorway that lead to the actual house of the Furukawa family. Both of the men turned their heads to witness the heart break of Sanae, tears rand down her cheeks.

"My special bread is a failure?" she cried as she covered her eyes and ran out of the bakery.

"No! They're not a failure, I love them!" Akio shoved a few handful of bread down his mouth and chases after his wife.

Sunohara shrugged and placed some yen on the counter to pay, he didn't feel right to just take it for free. Before he left the bakery he noticed a flyer taped against the window it got his attention right away because of the hand drawn picture of star shape dangos on it.

The Theatre Club is now recruiting extra members for the school play.

If you are interested please see the president Furukawa Nagisa

Or Vice-president Ibuki Fuko

The only word that came to his mind, "interesting"

The wind picked up as soon as he stepped out of the building, he sighed as he zipped up his jacketed. He couldn't believe it; he worked in such a beautiful day only for it to be gloomy and dark as he got off work. The only thing he looked forward to now is the bag full of bread in his hand and he took solace in the fact he didn't run into any confrontations like he usually does.

But life is a bitch sometimes, and when the older boy block his way on the sidewalk, he knew this was one of the moments.

He knew the older boy standing in front of him, he had dark hair and very muscular. The older boy was a delinquent, the worst kind of delinquent, and the fact that Sunohara almost became a delinquent made him sick inside. He honestly felt like running away the minute he saw him. But he wasn't a coward; he would take his beating like a man.

"Sunohara...." the older boy addressed.

"Etsushi..." Sunohara replied rather acidly.

"What have I told you about walking on these streets?" he asked.

"These streets are for everyone..."

"You still have quite the mouth, the same mouth that me in trouble," he gritted his teeth.

"You stole money from the school; I had to report you..."

"And by you reporting me, I got kicked out of school and I lost my soccer scholarship. Or do you still remember?"

"We all lost our soccer scholarship and the team was disbanded..." Sunohara shrugged shoulders. "If you going to beat me, than just it over with."

Sunohara turned around as soon as he heard footsteps behind him as three other guys approached him; they were other members of the soccer team that was kicked out for helping Etsushi steel money from the school.

"Is this really necessary?" Sunohara sighed. "You alone can beat the living crap out of me..." he stop mid sentence as two more approached him as they stood beside Etsushi.

"We are really going to make you suffer this time Sunohara," Etsushi frowned.

"Well I guess I should at least throw the first punch," Sunohara yelled as he hit Etsushi in the face.

"Well...I had fun today, thanks Tomoya!" Kyou smiled. "It just sucks that we had to cut it short because of the unexpected change in weather."

"Don't mention it Kyou," he walked her to the door of the house. "Besides we can hang out again sometime later," he pointed out and she agreed.

"Hey...would you like to come in and join us for dinner?" she hoped.

"I appreciate the offer, but I promise my mother that I would help her cook tonight."

Kyou smiled. "You seem close to your mother."

"Yeah, I honestly don't know what type of person I would have become without her," he agreed. "Good luck with the studying," he gave her a thumb up before he started to leave. "Oh yeah...." he stop and turn back to her. "You are in the volleyball team right with Sakagami Tomoyo?"

Kyou nods her head.

"Well in that case you can count on me being front row and center." He promised.

"Thanks...umm Tomoya?"

"Yes?"

"Can we hang out again in the future?" she asked, hoping the answer to be yes.

"Sure, why not," he shrugged his shoulders. "Were friends right now, and who knows...we might even be boyfriend and girlfriend," he gave her a wink before he left.

Kyou swoon onto her knees as she her feel her heat racing in her chest and her body turn hot from embarrassment. She couldn't believe it, Tomoya just made a pass on her, the most sexist boy in school just flirted with her. A loud girlish cheer escapes her lips as she began to jump up and down in excitement, and she ran into the house and into her room.

"Botan!" she cried out as she picks her up from her small dedicated bed at the corner of the room. She raised her high in the air and giggled even more as Botan smile down at her. "Guess what....I might have a chance with Tomoya after all!" she fell on the bed, her arms still holding Botan up in the air,

"Puhi, puhi," Botan raised her tiny paws in cerebration.

"Thanks Botan I knew you understand!" she couldn't stop smiling. "All I got to do is wait until Ryou comes home to tell her the good news....I just hope she isn't caught up in the rain," she glance at the window as raindrops starting to fall.

***

"I'm home," Tomoya called out as he enters the house.

"Ahh welcome back Tomoya," her mother smiled at him.

"Hey did you already start cooking?" he asks as he can now smell of scent of cook noodles. "I wanted to help you tonight."

"Oh come now, you are a far too old to spend time with your mother," she put her hands on her hips.

"I can never be too old to spend time with my mother," he smiled. "Besides I am happy to spend my time with you."

"Well in that case you can help set up the table before your father comes home," the mother palm the top of his head and rubbed slightly. "How was your day anyway?"

"It was definitely interesting..."

The rain grew heavy as they continue to drop on Sunohara bloody face; he laid in a muddy ditch and stare at the sky watching the rain fall. His body was numb from the punches and kicks he endured, the rain completely drench his body as he shivered from the coldness. He tried not to move just yet as with every muscle that twitch, it stringed, and the taste of blood of his cut lip and mud from when they dragged his face into it the ditch lasted even longer.

He groaned when he started to crawl his way up the muddy ditch and mange himself on his feet.

It was a long walk home.

To Be Continued

A/N: Tomoya's mother still being alive and well defiantly changes everything and anything, which explains his more easy going nature. As for Sunohara... having no real friends but still being the butt monkey explains is rather harden nature.

(1) "Only Society well only accept Tomoya and I":

This is what you call 'breaking the fourth wall" what I mean is not only is Kyou talking about the world around her, she is also talking about us... the viewer. Society (you the reader) will may hate the fact of Kyou and Sunohara being a couple because it is not deem right compared to Kyou and Tomoya....thus "Only Society well only Tomoya and I"

Ipad review, prove this and it only just shows how harsh society can be to simply hate something that isn't what they CHOOSE is right.
