Kyo couldn't wait to see Tohru. He didn't even want to bother telling Shigure he was back. He didn't care if they knew or not. He just wanted to see Tohru, right that very minute.

So he practically ran all the way home. He came through the front door and into the dining room, but no one was there. The house was oddly quiet. He searched all through the house and couldn't find anyone, especially Tohru. He finally found a note attached to thr fridge in the kitchen. "Gone to work. Be back at 9:30."

Kyo had forgotten that Tohru worked even longer hours on weekends. She was always trying to make more money. On Sundays, she worked from 2 to 9. She really was overworking herself. He had also forgotten that on Sunday evenings, the guys usually went out to eat since Tohru wasn't around to cook dinner. But that still didn't make sense of why they weren't around. It was only 2:30 in the afternoon.

Kyo didn't really care about the others, he just cared about Tohru. He wanted to see her as soon as possible. So he decided to himself that he would pick her up from work later that night. And to pass the time, he would sit in his normal spot on the roof.

So Kyo headed up to the roof to relax and pass the time. While walking up the ladder, he noticed a blue hair ribbon stuck in between the gutter and the roof. He automatically knew it was Tohru's. So he carefully leaned to the side of the ladder and retrieved the ribbon. Luckily, it didn't get too messed up.

Kyo walked over to his spot and laid down.

~I wonder how Tohru's hair ribbon got stuck all the way up here? Does that mean she was up here on the roof? I wonder why? I can't wait to see her. It's only been almost a day since I've seen her and it honestly feels like weeks. It's crazy. Shishou says she loves me too. But how would he know? Unless,...Unless, she told him. But I can't picture Tohru telling him that. But oh well. I love her and that's for sure. And supposedly that's how my curse is broken? Well, afterall, she did hug me without me transforming. That's gotta mean something. Well, I'll hug her again tonight, and see if it stays the same. Hell, I might even kiss her.~

Kyo smiled thinking nonstop of Tohru. He started to doze off and a little while later, he actually fell asleep.

Kyo woke later and the sun had set. The stars were just starting to come out and crickets were chirping in the grass below. Kyo jumped up, worried that he overslept. He climbed down the ladder and went inside the house to figure out what time it was. It was about 8:25. He needed to leave in a few minutes since it took roughly about 25 minutes to town, and Tohru got off of work at 9. But he could walk really fast and make it in 15-20. Then he noticed something unusual. Shigure and Yuki still weren't home. He happened to glance down at the table next to him and noticed a note.

"Tohru, Akito called. Yuki and I have to go to the main house. We should hopefully be back when you come home from work, but we can't promise. Would should definitely be back by morning. I'm very sorry. From, Shigure...and Yuki"

"Thank god they're gone. Now I won't have to be harassed by them of why I left. Well, they'll still bother me in the morning. whatever. Oh! I need to go get Tohru." he said to himself.

He walked to town trying to think of a way to surprise Tohru. ~Maybe I can hide in the alley next to the building and hug her from behind when she least expects it? No, she would freak out and scream that I was a rapist or something. That wouldn't work. I guess I'll just stand out in front and wait for her. That's the easiest thing to do.~

Kyo arrived at the office building a few minutes before 9 and leaned against a fence out in front. He crossed his arms and looked up at the night sky. He could hardly see any stars, thanks to all the terrible lights in the city.

"Kyo?"

Kyo snapped his head back in reality and looked at the one who spoke his name. It was her.

"Tohru..." he whispered as a huge smile spread across his face.

He could see question in her eyes, but most of all he saw happiness. Then he saw that her eyes were filling with tears.

Kyo hated to see Tohru cry, but he couldn't understand why she was tearing up right then. Shouldn't she be happy?

So Kyo rushed to her and automatically pulled her into a hug.

It ultimately surprised Tohru and she just stood straight still like a statue. She then relaxed and hugged him back very tightly.

Kyo wasn't used to the feel of hugs yet. ~Wow. I love the way she feels when I hug her. She feels so warm.~

"Oh Kyo, I missed you so much. I was so worried." she sobbed into his chest.

"I'm sorry Tohru. I didn't mean to upset you like that. Please don't cry." he said while he stroked her beautiful brown hair.

"I'm not crying because I'm sad. I'm crying because I'm so happy to see you and that you're safe!" she said as she looked up at him, her blue eyes sparkling with tears.

~I'm having a really strange urge right now, when she looks at me like that. Oh..I just want to kiss her!~

He took his hand and gently wiped away her tears. He then stroked her face with his hand and brought his hand under her chin. He lifted her chin a bit more and came within two inches of her face. He looked intensely into her eyes.

"Tohru...I-I...I think I..No, wait, I know I...I-I love you." Kyo stuttered as he closed the distance between them as his lips crashed onto hers. He automatically shut his eyes without even meaning to. He had never felt this way before. It was his very first kiss, and it was an amazing one. After a few seconds, Kyo drew back and looked at her smiling.

"Kyo, I-I love you too" Tohru replied truthfully.

Tohru's face was bright pink. She couldn't help but blush.

Kyo pulled her close to him again. He loved kisses too, but he sure loved hugs. And afterall, he needed to make up for all the hugs he'd missed in his life before.

Tohru wrapped her arms around his neck, and she buried her head in his neck.

"I love to hug and kiss you. It feels so great. Sorry if that sounds silly." Tohru whispered. She could feel her face turn even hotter.

"That's not silly at all. That's exactly what I was thinking too." He answered as he kissed her forehead.

Tohru released from the hug and chuckled. "Isn't odd that we're still in front of my work?"

"Yeah, I guess. It doesn't bother me that much."

"Oh, well, can we gome home?" Tohru asked.

"Sure." Kyo smiled at her.

They started to walk in silence, until Tohru laughed.

"Do you realize how happy yet ultimately confused I am right now?"

Kyo laughed. "How about I tell you everything when we get home? How's that sound?"

"But I'm exhausted. First thing I'm going to do when I get home is go straight to bed." Tohru yawned.

"Well, I'll figure out sometime then."

As they walked home, Kyo managed to gather enough courage and hold her hand. Tohru didn't reject at all and just hugged his arm and smiled.

Once they got home, Tohru asked, "Where's Yuki and Shigure?"

"Oh, Akito wanted them. They'll be back by morning probably."

"Oh, that works I guess." She said as she started walking up the stairs. Kyo followed behind.

Once Tohru was right outside her door and was about to say goodnight, Kyo stopped her.

"Wait, Tohru...I really want you to know that I love you very much and you mean everything to me. I just hope you feel the same way as much as I do." Kyo stroked her cheek as he said this.

Tohru just stared into his red eyes.

"Oh, I do love you Kyo! I love you so much. I loved you for a while now. I just didn't have the courage to tell you. " she giggled as she hugged him. It felt like she was dreaming.

"Well, then Tohru, will you be my girlfriend?" Kyo asked.

"Oh. Yes, Kyo. Of course!"

Kyo automatically smiled and kissed Tohru as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Well, you need your sleep. You really overworked yourself. Goodnight my angel." Kyo said kissig her forehead.

"Awww. Kyo..." Tohru said giving him puppy dog eyes.

"What? What is it?"

"Can't you stay with me tonight?" Tohru asked pleadingly.

"Wait...WHAT!?" Kyo freaked. He had just asked her out and she already wanted to have sex with him?? wtf!?

"You perv. I don't mean anything bad. Just stay with me in my room tonight?"

"Oh, ok. sure."

So Tohru pulled on his hand and went into her bedroom.

Once they got ready for bed, Tohru crawled into bed and Kyo followed.

Just seeing Tohru in a short nightgown really turned him on.

But he seriously tried to control his thoughts... and keep something down.

He just couldn't believe that he was in bed with Tohru right now.

She was only wearing a super short above knee nightgown, and he was just wearing his boxers.

Tohru automatically cuddled up against Kyo's chest as sighed.

"I never knew you were so toned, Kyo" Tohru was quite impressed. Kyo had a six pack and it was really sexy.

Kyo couldn't tell if he was actually blushing but he felt like he would be. "Well, I do practice martial arts all the time."

"Hey, Kyo?" Tohru mumbled. She was about to fall asleep.

"Yes?"

"How is the curse broken?"

"Because I love you and you love me back."

"Really?"

"Yup. And that means Akito has no control over me anymore. So I won't have to be locked up anymore."

Tohru looked up. "Seriously?! OMG. Thank god. Oh, Kyo! I love you!"

Tohru wrapped her arms arounds his neck and kissed him passionately. She ran her fingers through his spiky orange hair, and he wrapped his arms around her small waist.

Kyo made a daring move. He parted Tohru's lips with his tongue and pushed it in her mouth. She gladly accepted and kissed back. Their kissing became more fiery and passionate by every second. Their tongues were practically playing games with each other back and forth. After making out for a while, they stopped to catch their breath.

Tohru just smiled and then cuddled up against his chest once more. Kyo kept his arms around her waist and rested his chin on top of her head, as her head was cradled against his neck.

A few minutes later, they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
