Chapter V – Tears of Joy
After the sumptuous meal, Tohru was washing the dishes when Yuki came. It was then she realize that he wasn't there all along. She was just overwhelmed by Kyo's presence relieved that the meeting with Akito was over.
"Sohma-kun, did you bought everything needed?"
"Yeah, it was really fun with her. She invited me to her apartment for dinner."
"She's really a nice girl and I hope we could visit her one of these days." She told Yuki.
"That'll be a great idea. Well then, see you tomorrow, I'll go to bed now." Yuki left. I'm glad she's alright now. The stupid cat is here now huh. Everything should be fine by now. With that, he went to bed.
In the rooftop, Kyo was reflecting on Kureno's words. He didn't didn't need memories which are only one sided. If I'm the only one treasuring it, then it would mean nothing if Tohru won't treasure it. He convinced himself.
It was past nine and Tohru couldn't sleep. I wonder if he applied some first aid on his wound. But what if he hasn't, it might lead to infection! Her thoughts were cut off when she heard noices coming from the rooftop. After that, she got an idea. She grabbed the first aid kit she had and her jacket in case if it would be cold.
Kyo was done fighting with his inner mind when suddenly, because of his cat-like abilities, he sensed eyes were watching him. He tried to see at the corner of his eyes and there was the girl, the one that cause him so much confusion and at the same time made him happy.
"Are you just going to stand there and stare or are you gonna approach me." He told her without moving his body.
"Your senses are really good Kyo-kun!" She was now on the rooftop advancing towards him.
"Why weren't you sleeping?" "I knew you wouldn't care to put some first aid in your face so that's what I'm here!" She gave him that look and tilted his face by using her hands. She was at the right side but then the wound was in the left. The contact sends them blushing hard both trying to hide it. When they manage to conceal their red faces towards each other, Tohru started to take care of the face. Kyo didn't made eye contacts, afraid that he would melt. Tohru, on the other hand, was trying to concentrate on the wound rather on his face, she cannot help herself looking at those eyes so near her.
That's right, now I realized that I am willing to create memories with her, I won't be bothered if she'll treasure her times with the damn rat, all I care is that I could enjoy being with her for a short time. He was in deep thoughts that he didn't notice Tohru was asking all about summer.
"Kyo-kun… Kyo-kun?" "Hmm..?" He didn't have an idea what she was talking about but he recognized that she was done. "Uh- thanks!"
"I was wondering what we would do this summer. I hope we it would be great" she was thinking aloud.
"It will be" he was giving that look.
Tohru was lost of words. She knew it would always be great if Kyo were with her spending time together.
"It's getting cold" he muttered but was heard. "Here, lets share. Kyo-kun is always kind to me." He was about to respond that she was more kind but then it was too late. They were sitting so close to each other sharing one jacket.
"Kyo-kun you know what? I've never have gone fishing and boating in my life. I really wanted to try it and set a goal to do it this summer."
This is a good chance for us to be together but hope that if we would do it, no one would go with us, just the me and her "If you want, I could accompany you… if you want, you don't -" "Yes" She said now both faces were in front of each other they could feel their breaths. "Alright" it was the only response he could give. At this time, Tohru was sobbing. Kyo-kun, don't go, please don't go! Don't worry, I'll try to find a way to break the curse, I will, for the Sohmas. "Wahh!!!" Kyo was stunned then pulled himself together. "Now, why are you crying again? Do I always make you cry?" His head down, eyes being covered by the orange hair. "No, Kyo-kun, you always make me happy, these are tears of joy." And that she placed her head gently on the muscular shoulder keeping in mind not to get close. "Glad to hear that." He was contented and didn't want to break the silence. After how many minutes of silence, both realized it was time for sleeping.
"Let's go to sleep before you catch a cold." He said but was only talking to himself for the girl was now sleeping. He placed the jacket infront of his chest so when he carried her to her bedroom, he won't transform and drop her.
They reached her bedroom and gently lied her down. He was about to get out and take his own rest when she called her. "Kyo-kun? I'm glad you were fine today!" He just gave that look then left her.
