The next week went by fast, and soon it was the day before the dance. Since they didn't really own any nice dresses Tohru and Eve had gone shopping for dresses and accessories earlier in the week. The guys, Kyo and Yuki, said that they owned a suit, but lied so that they wouldn't disappoint the girls. They had to wait till the girls both went to work to do some shopping of their own. Shigure ended up having to take them shopping for a suit, shoes, and dress shirts which, depending on who you talk to can always be interesting. Yuki already has a tie, so he didn't need one. Kyo was not going to wear a tie no matter how much Shigure nagged him. After a long while they purchased a suit, and headed back home to find an unexpected guest at Shigure's house. Kagura. She was in the sitting room hugging her cat backpack. She turned and looked at Kyo as he came in and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Kyo… Kyo is that really you? I haven't seen you in so long," She said as she stood up. Kyo's eyes grew wide as he handed Shigure his bagged suit and tried to run out. But before he new it he was being tackled to the ground.
"Kyo! My love. I've missed you!" Kagura said happily. Kyo just lied there pouting and waited for her to get off him. "Kyo why aren't you talking to me?!" she asked getting off of him.
"Because you tackled me," Kyo said. Standing up Kyo headed back inside and took back his suit that he had Shigure hang on to and headed up stairs to put it away.
"Why does Kyo have a suit?" Kagura asked.
"We, Eve, Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, and I are going to a dance that Eve's job is hosting," Shigure said.
"Oh that's sounds like fun can I go?!" Kagura asked excitedly.
"Eve is only aloud to bring four guests with her to the dance," Yuki chimed in as he came back from also putting his suit away.
"Oh… I see," Kagura said looking down at her hands.
Kyo snuck out of his window and climbed up on the roof to avoid Kagura. He knew that Kagura was going question him about if he was going with Eve as a friend or as a date. He was right as he overheard Kagura ask Shigure a million questions on whether or not Tohru and him were together or whether him and Eve were together, or if he was interested in either of them. Then he heard Shigure finally answer when Kagura finally stopped asking questions.
"I know that Kyo and Tohru don't care for each other the way you think. They love each other as brother and sister. And as for Eve and Kyo, I'm not sure. Only he could answer that and I highly doubt he is willing to answer that," Shigure said smiling as he remembered finding Eve sleeping resting her head on Kyo's shoulder a few days ago.
"Do you think he likes her? You live here; you see what goes on. Do you think he likes her?" Kagura asked not really wanting to hear the answer.
"Honestly, and this is just my opinion I don't know for sure, I think he does. He's comfortable around her. He can be himself around her and doesn't feel like he has to hide anything. I've seen a glow about him, which I know I've never seen before. But like I said I don't know for sure," Shigure said and sipped his tea.
"Wow, that defiantly sounds like he likes her. Does it seem like she likes him too?" Kagura asked.
"I would say so," Shigure said smiling and sighed." Young love, it's so beautiful."
Kagura laughed at Shigure's expression. Kyo sighed as he listened to what Shigure had just said. 'Eve might like me, like I like her. Is it possible?' Kyo thought as he looked up at the sky.
Tohru and Eve came home that night near the same time, for once. They were surprised to find Kagura there.
"Hi Kagura," Tohru said grinning from ear to ear. Eve smiled and said hi too. From the minute Eve entered the house Tohru felt a bit of tension between her and Kagura. She didn't know why but she felt it. Eve went up stairs to change out of her work uniform and then came back down to hear Kagura ask.
"Is it alright if I stay the night, it's late and I don't want to go when it's dark?"
"Of course you can stay Kagura. Eve, Tohru can she stay in your room tonight?" Shigure asked.
"Of course she can stay in our room," Tohru said. Smiling. Eve smiled and said.
"Yeah I'll go fix up the bed." Eve said and went back up stairs. Eve fixed up a bed on the floor and then fixed up her bed for Kagura. Tohru and Kagura finally came up.
"Why are you letting me sleep in your bed?" Kagura asked.
"Because your our guest," Eve said smiling and went to lay down on the floor bed.
"Thank you." Kagura said, as she and Tohru got ready for bed. After Tohru fell asleep Kagura finally talked breaking the awkward silence, and whispered.
"How do you feel about Kyo?" After she asked Eve's voice caught in her throat. "Eve? Did you hear me?" Kagura asked.
"Yeah I heard you," Eve whispered. "And I don't know how to answer you Kagura."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, I don't want my answer to ruin our friendship, but I don't want to lie to you either." Eve whispered.
"I want you to be happy so if you like him and he likes you then, I'm happy for you." Kagura said softly. Eve took a deep breath.
"Yes I do like him. Do you still like him?"
"I don't know. I'm so use to saying that I love him that it's grown on me but I don't know if I love him. How do you know that you love him?" Kagura asked. Eve sighed.
" I know because, just thinking about him I get butterflies in my stomach. And when I'm with him, if feels like nothing else matters, like I don't need to worry about anything, cause I know he's my friend too. I know I blush when ever he lightly bumps into me in the hall," Eve sighed.
"That was so romantic Eve," Kagura said sounding like she was crying.
"Are you crying?" Eve asked. *Sniff sniff*
"No," Kagura said. Eve couldn't help but giggle.
"Well stop the tears, your gona stain my pillow," Eve said. The girls laughed quietly and went to sleep. Evelyn smiled as she drifted off to sleep thinking about her the cat in the next room.
