Tohru sighed. She was sure Yuki had figured it out, and possibly even Kyo. Kyo was dense, though. Maybe he knew her true feelings about him...
Kyo probably didn't even know his own feelings. Even after she had accepted his true form and he seemed to know, he still didn't act on his feelings.
Yuki strolled up to her. "Hey, can I talk to you?" he asked. She nodded as he steered her away by her elbow.
"Okay. Akito's a terrible liar. What did he tell you?" Yuki asked seriously.
"Well..." she said, avaoiding his intense gaze. He continued to look at her seriously.
"He said I could break the curse..." she mumbled.
"What?" he asked, grabbing her shoulders. "And how exactly did he say to do this?"
She mumbled something Yuki couldn't possibly understand. He tucked a loose strand of hair behind his ear and started pacing.
"Well, I guess I know now." Kyo said. Tohru and Yuki swiveled around. Kyo stood a few feet from them, his arms crossed, and a sad-ish look on his face. "Y'know, you could've told me instead of that damned rat."
"Kyo? When did you get here?" Yuki exclaimed.
Kyo smirked. "I guess your skills aren't as good when your in distress." he said.
Yuki's face twisted with a rage Tohru didn't know Yuki had in him. Kyo was looking at Tohru.
"So why'd you tell this rat instead of me?" he asked, but Yuki had already pounced on him.
"Stop!" Tohru shouted as she flung herself in-between Yuki and Kyo. They both became their animals of the zodiac. Infront of her sat a small grey rat and a brightly coloured orange cat. "Don't fight again!"
Yuki and Kyo were surprised she shouted at them. Although, they did start fighting. She probably didn't tell them because she didn't want this to happen, they thought guiltily.
Tohru stalked off. With a jolt Kyo realized that this was the first time he had ever seen Tohru angry. She did have a right to be angry with them, though.
"Did you hear what she has to do to break the curse?" Kitty-Kyo asked darkly.
"No." Sighed Rat-Yuki.
With a white puff of smoke and a small bang, Kyo and Yuki became human.
"Ya know, I think Tohru thinks she has to do this." Kyo said as he pulled his clothes on.
"You're right, for a change." Yuki said, tugging his own clothes on.
"Oh, you guys, Tohru just waked by, and she looked pretty angry." Shigure told them as they walked in. "What on earth could you have done?"
"Nothing." they both muttered in unison.
"Heh." Shigure smirked as they went into their rooms to await dinner. Well, Yuki went into his room. Kyo climbed onto the roof and watched to clouds go by, thinking about nothing. Nothing except Tohru, that is. Lately, Kyo was finding it hard to think about anything else.
Tohru was ready. She couldn't stand to wait any longer. No, tomorrow. She had to see Saki and Arisa first. She stared out the window thoughtfully. Was she really prepared to do this? Yes. She felt she had to. More than that, she wanted to. Yes. This was how it was going to be.
The clouds floated by as Kyo lay and watched. He would keep an eye on Tohru from now on, he determined. It wasn't stalking if she could potentially harm herself, right?
