Chapter 6
"I love you..." Yuki repeated, "I love everything about you... I hope you would give me a chance to show you how much I care..."
Tohru was shocked, she opened her mouth to reply but nothing came out. She closed her eyes to think and then gathered her courage. Smiling, Tohru took actions. She carefully closed the gap between them, her lips touches his. Yuki was caught off guard but he kissed her back.
It was enchanting, the bon fire was dancing and the fire works created the atmosphere of romance. Yuki deepened the kiss and Tohru followed his lead, it was perfect. The two of them felt like no one else matters and they can't be separated. Two hearts became one, at last.
Neither did the couple know that 2 figures were watching them. Kagura looked like she was enjoying this view but in the back of her mind worried of the certain person that is standing next to her. Kyo's eyes widen, he felt betrayed and angered by the scene he just witness.
"She chooses him after all..." Kagura said softly, "Kyo... They belong together..."
"..." Kyo was angered. It was not because of Tohru. It was because of what Kagura said was true and the rat.
Kyo knew that Yuki have deep feelings for Tohru from the very beginning and he always compete with him for her affection. But, it did not take long after Tohru started giving away signs of attraction towards the rat.
"I-I always knew that she loves him than me..." Kyo admitted then he punched the tree next to him, "BUT! THAT DAMN RAT ALWAYS GETS HIS WAY! He always GETS what I wanted... ALWAYS!"
Then Kyo ran off leaving the tearful Kagura behind. She took one last look at the couple, she smiled sadly.
'Tohru, you made your choice... I hope you would heal the wounds on Kyo's heart..." Kagura then left to join the others in the camp fire.
Not far away from where Kyo and Kagura were standing... The snake and the dog celebrated like it was there birthdays.
"Oh, this is the true romance of men!" Aya said dreamily, "I'll call this 'Love confession'... Ah, I just love it!"
"Yes, yes... Now, we have two problems!" Shigure said seriously now, "Problem number one: Kyo and Problem number two..."
"Akito..." the voice answered.
Shigure and Aya turned around and found Hatori standing behind them. The two adults looked at their friend.
"Are you going to tell?" Shigure asked.
"I was going to ask you that question..." Hatori reply, "Since... You are the 'loyal' one..."
Aya remained silent and looked at Shigure. He then hung his head.
"Gure..." Aya begin, "I ask of you... Not to tell Akito any of this..."
Shigure and Hatori eyed Aya, waiting that he would make a ridiculous comment after that. But, Aya raise his head and looked at his friends with a serious face.
"I...I want my little brother to be happy... I don't want him to feel alone, sad, betrayed and in pain anymore..." Aya begin, "Having Tohru in his life... Would heal any scars and wounds his been keeping inside him self... So please, for me old friend... Don't report this event to Akito..."
Shigure and Hatori were surprised by this attitude from Aya. The snake, Aya, being serious was very rare. Hatori smiled and walked away without saying a word.
"You have my word Aya!" Shigure grinned with playfulness.
Aya walked to Hatori's direction when he looked back at Shigure, "I trust you with all my heart... But! If you betray me Shigure, I will never trust to you ever again..."
The Aya left the dog standing there with a smile but when the snake was out of sight, Shigure's face turned serious.
"I understand... completely..." He said softly then walked away at the same direction his two friends took.
It was the first week of summer vacation and everyone decided to go to the beach. Tohru and Yuki's relationship grew everyday they spent together but Kyo distance himself from the two further everyday.
"Yuki! Kyo! Hurry, the others are waiting!" Tohru called out from the front door.
"Hurry boys! The Ocean is waiting!" Shigure stepped out the bathroom wearing summer shorts and a dark blue tank top, "The lovely girls... err...I mean everyone is waiting!"
"Coming" Yuki answered as he appeared from the stairs, "Lets - - hey!"
Yuki was pushed a side by the agitated Kyo, who just walked past Tohru and Shigure to the bus where everyone is waiting for them. Yuki was about to do something about it but Tohru stopped him.
"His been very distance and he hasn't spoken a word to me since we told him about our relationship..." She sounded sad, "Yuki, could you talk to him?"
"...This is Kyo we are talking about Tohru..." Yuki said softly, "We aren't that close and you know that..."
Tohru sighed, "I guess not... I'll try talking to him..."
Yuki patted Tohru's head, "You do what is best Tohru... If you need anything, you know I'm here" He then kissed her forehead.
That sight pained Kyo. He shut is eyes tight and clutch his fist until his palm started to bleed. Kagura sat beside him and notice the wound.
"Kyo, your hand..." Kagura stood up, she fetched the aid kit and came back beside Kyo, "You... Should take care of you self, you know..."
Kyo didn't say anything. He let Kagura treated his wound. Kagura did her best not to say anything or cry in front of Kyo because seeing the person she loves in pain pains her.
'Tohru... Hurry...' Kagura silently prayed.
When everyone was in the bus, they were ready to go. They have decided to go to one of the Sohma's summer house. Momiji, Kisa, Haru and Hiro played 'go-fish' while Ritsu watch. Aya and Shigure played chess. Hatori was driving; Kagura was reading a book and Kyo fell as sleep. [You can't blame him...] Yuki and Tohru were reading a magazine, looking at schedule for just the two them for the rest of the summer and they took note what they wanted to do after the beach vacation.
"Hmm... We could go to the carnival after this trip; the shrine is opening for a cultural festival two days after and the new aquarium is opening up at the day after!" Yuki finally said, "Oh wow, the new movies are out!"
"Oh! Harry Potter! White Chicks and the new Spider Man 2 is out! " Tohru was getting excited and giggled, "This is going to be ready fun! Let's make a schedule!"
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I LOVE HARRY POTTER! White Chick and Spider Man 2 were good as well... Ok, ok... I'll shut up...]
Yuki was enjoying every moment he spend time with Tohru. Since the after the festival, they told everyone that they are official. Everyone was happy for them except the cat, he was furious.
Tohru took out a small hello kitty note pad from her small pack and handed it to Yuki.
"Your better on planning's than I am!" She said shyly, "You should make the plans... I'm bad at it..."
"No, no... You're not bad and I won't do it alone!" Yuki patted her head, "Let's do it together!"
"Ok." Tohru smiled affectionately and the two of them created the scene that says 'Do not disturb'
The ganged watched them with a smile, Kyo looks like he just swallowed a poison... [Ek! Kyo lovers... Do not hate me! I adore Kyo but... I love Yuki!] He couldn't think straight and he just can't endure that Tohru have choose Yuki over him. He hung his head to regain his composer.
'The rat has better manners than me... He always knows what to say... His also so damn smart that pissed me off...' Kyo bit his lower lip, 'DAMN IT ALL! Why does he have to be that good on everything? WHY?'
The rest of the ride was exciting. Yuki, Tohru and Kagura decided to join the game of 'go fish' while Kyo sat back and watched. It was almost dark when they got to the summer house. Tohru's breath was taken from her. The light house stood on the top of the cliff and the ocean sparkle in the night.
"I-it's beautiful!" Tohru softly said, "Wow..."
"It's breath taken... This was one of the first summer houses of the Sohmas!" Hatori explained, "Enjoy..."
Hatori left and Kagura hugged her from behind. With her face hidden she spoke softly.
"His in pain because you choose Yuki over him... His not him self because of it... Please, Tohru, talk to him..." She then left and headed to the house.
Tohru was left there alone for a little while, she was able to think.
'Kyo... I'm very sorry.' She said to her self.
Someone took hold of her right hand and she found Yuki looking at her with concern. Tohru smiled and said.
"I'm fine... I was just thinking of what to say to Kyo later on..."
"Don't think of it too much that would make you sad... Let's enjoy this week, ok..." Yuki affectionately touched her cheeks with his free hand, "Come, let's get ourselves unpack and then have a walk in the beach after dinner!"
"Ok!" that was all Tohru said. She walked side by side with Yuki and looked at him at the corner of her eye.
'Mom, his wonderful... I pray that no one will take us apart... Not ever..." Tohru silently pray.
Tohru and Kagura cooked dinner [Well... Tohru was cooking and Kagura was just helping...] Momiji and Kisa were helping with the preparations on the table. Haru and Hiro were cutting; lettuces, tomatoes, beef, chicken, pork, fish and more veggies. They were making a feast fit for a King.
When Shigure pop his head through the doorway of the kitchen, Kagura hit him with a spatula. When Aya appeared just to annoy them, Haru threw a small pan at him. [..............................................snicker................................................]
"Everyone, dinner's ready!" Kagura called out from the dinning room after they were done.
Once the rest of the group came in, they were shock even Kyo. The long dinning table was full of delicious food.
"WOW, you guys did so much!" Kyo's eyes widen when he saw the; fried fish, fish on the stick and two other kinds that involves fish. [Sorry, don't know it all...]
Once they are seated, no one moved. The preparation was so perfect that everyone was afraid that it would be ruined. Tohru decided to break the ice.
"Everyone, please, eat! For the rest of this week, Kagura and I will cook a feast that fits a King!" She said excitedly. The group gave her a small smile and they began to eat. Then, the dinning room was full of laugher even Kyo joined in. It was wonderful and everyone enjoyed them selves. When dinner was over, the maids decided to take actions [Since, Tohru made dinner... LOL] they took care of the dishes and even pushed Tohru out the kitchen [nicely of course!] until the next supper. Momiji, Kisa and Hiro fell asleep in the sofa. Hatori picked up Kisa, Haru put Hiro over his shoulder and Shigure picked up Momiji to put them to bed. Kagura and Kyo decided to go for a walk on the woods [well... Kagura almost killed him for it...] Aya and Ritsu talked in the foyer. While, our favorite couple walked along the shore of the beach.
"This is beautiful Yuki... Thank you for taking me here!" Tohru finally said, "It's so perfect..."
"Anything for my Princess..." Yuki replied.
Yuki stopped walking and Tohru halt beside him. Again, Yuki was caught at the moment that he softly moved closer to Tohru and gave her a soft kiss. The kiss was very sweet and tender, Tohru melt over his kiss. When she felt Yuki was about to pull away, Tohru wrapped her arms around his neck [of course carefully not making him changed] because she did not want the kiss to be over just yet. Yuki was caught off guard but he didn't mind and returned the kiss.
It was a night to remember and it was just the beginning of summer.
