"Aright Tohru, the house is freakishly clean, all the dishes have been washed, the laundry is done, we've both had lunch, there is literally nothing else we can do to make this house any more perfect. Can we please do something that doesn't involve cleaning, cooking, tidying, organizing, or systematizing? I think I'll puke if I have to mop again." Kyo wiped his brow with the back of his hand. He and Tohru had been cleaning up the house all freaking morning, from the roof to the very corners of the kitchen. Man, when Tohru started cleaning, she literally couldn't stop. He felt like he's been chasing her all over the house, dusting all along the way.

"Well, we could plant some roses in the garden… it would just look so beautiful…" Tohru wondered aloud as she folded the last bit of laundry, knowing Kyo would have a heart attack if she were serious.

Kyo stared back at her, completely dumbfounded. His expression was so funny that Tohru burst out laughing.

Kyo's face turned red, and he marched over to her, towering over her. His breathing became heavy and his amber eyes bore into hers. Tohru immediately stopped laughing.

"Kyo, I'm so sorry, I was kidding…" she stuttered.

Kyo couldn't help himself. She was too cute to get mad at, even if he was pretending.

He wrapped his arms her waist and leaned down, pressing his forehead against hers. Their lips were inches apart. Tohru could feel his hot breath against her skin. She shivered.

Kyo traced his fingers up and down her arms. He closed his eyes. He loved being close to her. He could feel himself unwind and relax, just holding her against him.

"Lemme ask more nicely… Tohru, you wanna go on a walk with me?" he whispered.

Tohru could barely form words. She loved when Kyo was like this. She knew Yuki wouldn't be this personal. He was too reserved.

Yuki. Why was she thinking about Yuki? Here in front of her was Kyo, who loved her dearly, who wanted to marry her. And Yuki simply left her to study in London. He was out having his own life, and she was happy for him. She should be living her own life too. So why was she still thinking about him, comparing him to Kyo? She needed to stop. She loved Kyo, she knew that… right?

Tohru shifted her focus back to Kyo.

She stood on her toes, and pressed her lips against his. He kissed her back, running his hand through her hair.

"I'll take that as a yes." Kyo grinned.

Tohru wrapped her arms around his neck and looked deeply into his eyes.

"I love you so much, Kyo Sohma." She said softly.

Kyo was touched. How did he get so lucky?

They went on their walk, down to the lake near the house. Their fingers were intertwined the whole way there and back as they talked about nearly everything: Kyo's work at the dojo, Tohru's job, the Sohma family, Uo and Hana, where they wanted to go in the world, what they missed about high school… the subjects were endless. It was perfect. Tohru couldn't be happier. Kyo had even picked an orchid for her when she wasn't looking and had shyly given it to her. When she tried thanking him, he silenced her with a kiss and told her to never thank him: he loved her too damn much.

There is no one I'd rather spend the rest of my life with. Tohru thought as she glanced at Kyo's handsome face.

They finally reached the house again. Once they stepped in and removed their shoes, Kyo turned to her.

"Hey, I'm gonna go shower okay? Don't, you know, get hurt or something while I'm doing that."

Tohru laughed and nodded.

"I'll go get dinner ready!"

"Oh but before I go…" Kyo took hold of her hand and brought it to his lips. He kissed it gently and smiled at her.

"Thank you for such an amazing day, Miss Sohma."

Tohru smiled back, her heart melting. Kyo unwillingly let go of her hand and turned to go take a shower.

Suddenly the phone rang. Tohru snapped back to reality and raced to answer. She picked up, expecting Shigure, checking up on them.

"Hello?" she chirped.

"Miss Honda. I'm so glad you answered." The soft, deep voice answered back.

Tohru froze.

"Yuki? Is that you?" she whispered.

"Yes. I've been meaning to speak to you about a rather important matter. Is Kyo around? I need you to be alone. It's a private matter."

"No, Kyo went to take a shower. Yuki… I'm so glad you called. I… I haven't stopped thinking about you. There's something I must tell you." Tohru's voice shook. Her stomach was filled with butterflies. She was so pleased to hear his voice.

Kyo's heart pounded as he stood on the stairs, fuming. He had heard Tohru answer the phone in the kitchen, which were right next to the stairs. He would have continued going upstairs if she hadn't said that damn rat's name.

WHY THE HELL WAS YUKI CALLING HER?

He knew it was wrong to stand there, eavesdropping on the call. But he was Tohru's fiancé, he was solely interested in protecting her, making her happy, keeping her safe. It was his duty. He would be crushed if he ever lost her.

But what killed him more… why was Tohru thinking about Yuki? And what did she have to tell him?

Kyo felt his stomach drop at a single thought: Did… did he lose her to Yuki?
