16. Puzzle
Once, when Kisa came over to play for the day, Tohru got a jig-saw puzzle for the two of them to work on together. When they had trouble putting it together on their own, they asked Kyo to help out. He tried at first, but then he got frustrated with it, so they all gave up. Later that night, Tohru came downstairs to get a drink and found Kyo sitting at the table, putting the last piece in. When she asked why he had stayed up so late to finish it, he just shrugged and said, "It was bugging me."
17. Injury
As Tohru stood in the kitchen cutting vegetables to go in the soup for dinner, she accidentally slipped and the knife sliced her finger.
"Ow!" she exclaimed, more out of surprise then in pain.
Kyo ran into the room when he heard her cry out. He checked to make sure she was going to be alright before getting her a band-aid and taking the knife from her.
"I'll take over the cutting. You can do the rest." He told her.
She smiled, "Thanks, Kyo, but I'm okay..."
"I've got it." He repeated, "I don't want you to hurt yourself again."
18. Everywhere
When Kyo came home one day to find a panicked Tohru tearing apart the house looking for the picture of her mom, he immediately dropped everything to help her find it. They looked everywhere for it- on tables, under furniture, and in couch cushions- until Kyo finally found it lying under her bed. When he presented the finally located picture to her, she hugged him tightly and thanked him multiple times.
Kyo grinned, "I was happy to help. But now we need to clean this place up before the damned rat gets home. He'll probably blame me for this mess."
19. Chew
When Tohru came home from a long day of work, she was extremely thankful to see that Kyo had already gotten dinner ready for her. After she greeted him, she sat down at the table and took a bite of the meal that he had prepared.
She chewed happily and swallowed before grinning happily at him, "Thanks for making dinner tonight, Kyo! That was really nice of you! It tastes absolutely amazing!"
Kyo smiled at her and shrugged, "No problem. I was more then happy to help. I'm glad it turned out alright."
Tohru smiled again, "It's perfect! Thank you!"
20. Binding
Before it was broken, Kyo never would've thought that anything good could have come out of his curse. He had thought that the only thing that it would be able do, was bind him to a fate of being locked away for the rest of his life. Looking back on it now, however, Kyo realized that something good did come out of it. Because he had had the curse, Tohru had made it her duty to break it, and ended up falling in love with him in the process. Maybe his curse hadn't been such a bad thing after all.
