Chapter 3;

The day went pretty smoothly after the more embarrassing situation Tohru had gone through. She did just meet the guy and now that had to happen? Just the though flustered her cheeks even more so then they were already.

"..coming?"

Snapping out of the dazed expression, Tohru slowly blinked up staring at a familiar orange-headed male.

"Ah..what?" She asked slowly, rubbing the side of her hair tentively as she did so.
"I said are you coming? School let out about five minuets ago, and rat boy has his presidential duties to tend to." Kyo explained slowly before arching a brow.
Carefully, he leaned forward, one hand coming to rest palm-faced on Tohru's desk as he peered at her.
"You okay?" He questioned slowly.

Shooting up from her seat –and nearly knocking Kyo over- Tohru quickly nodded, her fist clentched in a determined manner.
"Y-Yes! Roger that! I'm perfectly fine! Nope, everything is peachy!" She explained quickly, slightly out of breath.

Cracking a slow grin, Kyo shyly shook his head.
"Peachy? Yeah okay. Well, lets get-.." The sudden interruption of Kolden stopped his words in mid-sentence.

"Oh! Tohru, glad I could catch you before you left. I know its all of a sudden, and since it's the weekend you might not want too..but would you like to be my partner for the project we were all assigned today? And maybe this weekend we could get a jump start on it..?" Kolden asked slowly, his blue eyes ducking away from her own.

Nodding happily in the dazed manner Tohru often carried on her own face, she quickly agreed.
"Yes! That's sounds good! Um..here, let me right down my number so we can stay in touch. I'll be right back!" She exclaimed happily, before turning toward the teacher's desk to grab a slip of paper and pen.

Kyo eyes narrowed ever-so slightly, sending a cold death glare over to Kolden, who merely answered it with a smirk.
"If she's yours please say so now, I would hate to come between you both.." Kolden whispered in a mockingly sweet tone, his own body coming forward enough just so Kyo could hear.
Stepping back from the male, Kyo merely crossed his arms over his chest as Tohru bounced back over toward them both. Handing a small slip of paper toward Kolden, she turned back to Kyo.
"Okay, ready!" She said.

Nodding, Kyo lightly nudged Tohru in front of himself as they began to walk.
"Ah! Goodbye Kolden-Kun! I'll see you…um..soon?" She questioned, before Kyo gave another light push to whisk her out of the classroom.

Kolden merely laughed lightly to himself, his body leaning against Tohru's own desk, a familiar green wallet clutched in his hand.

"Oh yes, I'll be seeing you very…soon." He murmured, dead blue eyes scanning over a picture of a dead Kyoko.

"Sheesh, why'd you have to go and agree to be his partner like that?" Kyo demanded as the two began there way home.
"W-What? Should I not have?" Tohru replied, glancing over at the cat.

Giving a small shrug, Kyo turned away his eyes glancing up toward the sky.
"No..I just uh, think you should have gotten to know him better, you know?" Kyo added.

"Ah! You're right! What if he…b-but he seemed so polite and..!" Kyo merely silenced her with a look before shaking his head.
"Forget it. He seemed okay. I somehow got paired up with Hanajima.." Kyo muttered, slightly shivering at the thought.

As the two reached the house, rain began to pour down, causing a pissy Kyo to get even more pissy. Grumbling curses under his breath, he stormed upstairs.
"I don't need dinner! I'll just eat a power bar.." He grumbled quickly toward Tohru before slamming his bedroom door.
Raising a pale finger to her lip, she looked away.
"Oh…okay then." Tohru muttered quietly before cooking for the others.

Nighttime slowly began to approach, and soon enough Tohru had cooked, cleaned, done her homework and then gone to bed. Curling up under the covers, the optimistic girl drifted off into sleep.
Meanwhile, Kyo blinked up at the darkened ceiling, a groan emitting from under his lips. Sitting up, he lightly scratched his bare chest before walking out into the hallway, only dressed in a pair of black pajama pants.

Knocking lightly on Tohru's door, he waited a moment, before cracking it open.

"Tohru?" He called softly, before stepping inside.

His eyes slowly fell on the sleeping figure, his body instinctively moving toward her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Hey? Tohru?" He called, lightly nudging her.
She gave a small sigh in response, but didn't wake up. Like always, Tohru could sleep through a tornado.
Kyo's pulse slowly began to quicken, his eyes tracing over the small curse of her body, the bit of cleavage showing from her night gown, her smooth arms..
Shaking his head, Kyo looked away. God, he was perverted.

But..then again.
Leaning forward, he could inhale the sweet scent of vanilla emitting from her body, his own hand coming to lightly trace her arm.
"Choose me, Tohru.." He breathed over her lips, only inches from kissing those intoxicating lips..
Shooting back up, Kyo shook his head. If he was already getting turned on by this, then he needed to stop himself now. Temptation roamed through his body to touch her everywhere, kiss her sweet lips, let him-..
Shaking his head, he quickly sat up.
"God damn pervert.." He hissed, his hands running through his messy hair. Turning to take one final look at the beautiful girl, he turned before leaving her room, and shutting the door.
