Oh my god... this is the third time i've had to rewrite this chapter... I keep accidentally closing out of the tab I have open... dangit! It was going so well, too! I'll try to remember...
Kyo was not happy to hear about the house.
"What do you mean someone broke in?" He growled. Tohru ducked behind Yuki for protection. Seeing this, Kyo softened. "Er, uh... sorry. But, what do you mean? Is everything- gone?" Kyo demanded, sitting up and letting his legs dangle off the bed. Kazuma stood in the corner, observing their conversation quietly. When Kyo and him had been reunited, it had been a warm moment, before Kyo demanded to see Tohru. The first thing he'd noticed were her clothes, dirty and muddy. He'd pulled her into a kiss, then finally asked, and Yuki had interrupted with an answer. As stated, he wasn't happy.
"Just that. There were only a few things that could be salvaged, and near all the windows are broken. I've already alerted the police." Yuki said calmly as Tohru peeked out from behind him. Kyo reached for her hand and pulled her into another kiss.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, it's my fault!" Tohru began, and Kyo hugged her.
"No, it's not. If I hadn't been in that accident we wouldn't have this problem." He sighed. "So it's not your fault it's mine." Yuki and Kazuma glanced at eachother, feeling out of place. They both inched towards the door, going unnoticed by either of the two lovers. When Yuki closed the door quietly, Kazuma chuckled.
"They are truly in love." He laughed. Yuki nodded. Those two were in their own little world when they were together. They left them alone in Kyos little room.
"But if I had been there, no one would've gone in!"
"But you were here, waiting for me, so it's fine."
"I-"
"Shut up and come here." Kyo hugged Tohru. She buried her face in his shoulder. "Tell me what survived." He said, kissing the top of her head. She straightened, smiling.
"Most of the roof. Except for in a spot in our room. A breeze will go through there until we fix it... we might need to move into the guest room for a while." Tohru was thinking out loud. Kyo kissed her again.
"Anything else?"
"Well, the couch has a big stain on it, but that can be bleached! I'll do that when I get the chance, too." She laughed as Kyo kissed her nose.
"Tell me everything that made it." Kyo buried his face in Tohrus back, rubbing it softly with his one good hand.
"The bed is fine, though we had to prop it up on a block of wood. It'll need to be fixed more sturdily, I'll do that as well." She paused, thinking. "Both of the bathrooms are still intact, though the bathtub had someone's hair in it." Kyo hugged her from behind. "I haven't even looked inside the guest room though, so maybe we can't move our bed in there." She looked over her shoulder at Kyo, who'd closed his eyes.
"I'm awake."
"Oh." They both laughed. Kyo sighed.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"What if you had been there. You could have gotten hurt."
"Good thing I was here then, huh?"
"Yeah it is. I'm glad you were." Kyo laid down, holding Tohrus hand. She smiled at him.
"Are you hungry?"
"Starving."
"Well then we have a problem."
"Problem?"
"You can't walk and I have no money. Oops!" Tohru laughed. Seeing her like this... it made Kyo very happy. He pulled her down so that she was laying next to him, however uncomfortable it was. She didn't quite fit next to him, and his casts made it hard to move around eachother, but neither cared. Suddenly, a thought occured to Tohru.
"How will your injuries affect working at the Dojo?" She asked, looking over her shoulder at Kyo. He snored, and she laughed. "I'll ask again when he wakes up." She said out loud. She stood, gathering herself and making to leave. As she stepped away, Kyos hand shot out and grabbed hers. She looked at him, startled, but he was still asleep. She smiled. Tohru turned around so she was facing him and knelt down, kissing him briefly before walking out. What she didn't see, was a smile on Kyo's lips.

Hana and Uo insisted on going back to the house with Tohru and Yuki, and with them came Kureno and Kazuma. Momiji was waiting for them happily outside when they arrived, though he was surprised to see Kazuma and Kureno. He grabbed Tohru's hand and dragged her into the kitchen, declaring that it had been restocked. When Tohru walked in, she froze. "This is a bit more than restocked!" She cried. All the windows in the kitchen were fixed, along with the doors being straight.
"It's okay, I know you love this kitchen!" Momiji beamed, and Tohru found herself hugging him. Yuki wasn't even surprised that Momiji had fixed the kitchen, along with the yards. Everything looked great compared to how it had looked before.
"Well now we know the little brat isn't as useless as we always thought!" Uo teased, pulling Momiji's hair gently. Though they were closer now that Kyo and Tohru were living together, Uo, Hana, and the Sohma's were still careful with eachother. Like strangers that were slowly growing closer.
Hana took over painting over the red in the downstairs, and Kazuma and Yuki took over stairs duty. Tohru and Uo cleaned the upstairs hallway, while Kureno and Momiji threw away trash and investigated the guest room. Working in teams, they finished quickly and Tohru made dinner for everyone. They ate, and Tohru decided to finally sleep there. Uo and Hana declared that they were staying too, as it was the first chance they'd had to stay over without Kyo being there. After everyone left, the three girls laid out blankets on the floor and fell asleep, proud of what they'd accomplished that day.
When Kyo woke up from his nap, he was alone in the dark. He panicked for a moment before thinking She must have gone home when I fell asleep. Good. He sat up, making to stand before he remembered he couldn't. He sat on the bed for a while, thinking about the day. Before they'd all come and told him the news, he'd been thinking about Tohru. About their future. He wanted to marry her. He was going to marry her. No matter what, he would. He was set on it. After he'd recovered, of course. He laid back down, propping his head on his hands. He closed his eyes.
"Hello Kyo."
