Yuki Chapter Eleven

All through breakfast that morning, Tohru had been looking at Yuki with a worried expression. To be honest, it was a little unnerving. If she was talking to Kyo or Shigure she would smile that same bright smile she always did, but not to Yuki. He felt a little left out of the group. Surely someone had noticed Tohru's change when she looked at him?

"Kyo, Yuki, we need to go! We'll be late if we don't leave now."

Kyo grunted in response and picked up his bag and headed for the door. Yuki's eyes followed Tohru for a moment before he himself had risen to join the two.

On the way to Kaibara High School, Yuki and Kyo were having an argument over whether or not Yuki should skip his student council meeting and walk Kyo home, since Tohru had work that day. "Kyo, I have never skipped out on a meeting! What do you think Kakeru will do if he's left in charge? What will Nao think?"

Kyo closed in on Yuki's face a bit, so that his breath teased his face lightly. Yuki gasped, but forced his eyes to stay open. 'He's never been this intimate before!'

"I think you should skip and come home with me." Kyo's voice had reached a husky low tone Yuki had never heard before.

"O-okay." Yuki gave in. After Kyo slowly pulled away, Yuki stumbled and fell against a nearby tree, his eyes wide in shock. Kyo smirked and started towards the school.

"You better hurry up, Yuki, unless you want to skip school too." Kyo threw the words over his shoulder.

"I'm coming!" Yuki cried and practically ran after Kyo.

All through the day Yuki couldn't believe that he had allowed Kyo to, as much as he didn't want to say it, seduce him. Since when is Kyo that intimate with people? Yuki was also wondering why he had stumbled after Kyo pulled away from his face. Suddenly his knees had just gotten very weak, like they couldn't support him anymore.

Yuki was so lost in thought that he hadn't noticed when the lunch bell rang until Tohru tapped his shoulder. This brought him back to reality.

"Yuki?" Tohru asked lightly and then whispered, "Can we talk now?" Yuki nodded a bit then rose to follow Tohru's now retreating figure. Once Tohru stopped, Yuki realized they were in the gym. Tohru turned to face Yuki, her head turned to the floor.

"I know what you were saying in your room last night, Yuki." Yuki's eyes widened for the second time that day as he watched Tohru raise her head little by little.

"You...Know about that?" Tohru nodded an affirmation at Yuki's words.

"I'm sorry Yuki! I know I shouldn't have pried, but with your relationship with Kyo, I really think you should tell him! I really care about both of you and I can't stand to see either of you hurt. I just want you two to be happy." Tohru began to cry while the words were leaving her mouth. Then she fell to her knees as the shaking of her body rocked her back and forth.

Yuki ran over to Tohru and kneeled down in front of her. Unable to embrace Tohru himself, all he could do was to gently pat and rub her back.

After a few more minutes of this pattern, Tohru eventually calmed down enough to where she could speak again.

"Please tell him Yuki. This is something you two should face together. Not by yourselves. If I can I'll even help! Just tell Kyo," Tohru pleaded. Yuki touched her lip with his finger to quiet her.

"I will tell him Tohru. I promise I will. Not right now, but I will tell him today."

Tohru pushed Yuki's finger away from her mouth and said, "If not right now, then when Yuki? When will you tell him?" Yuki hushed Tohru once more.

"He wants me to walk home with him today. I'll tell him on the way home, okay?"

Tohru nodded. Then the brunette pulled a napkin from her pocket and wiped her eyes. "Yuki, you go and find everyone for lunch. I need to wash my face; I'll be out there in a few minutes." Yuki nodded and headed towards the stairway that led to the roof, where his group of friends always ate lunch.

"Yo, Yuki! Where is Tohru?" Yuki face Uotani, and smiled lightly. "She just went to the bathroom, she be back in a minute." Uotani nodded her approval of the boys answer. Hana stared at him for a moment, and then went back to her perfect bowl of rice.

"Damn, Hana knows something's up," Yuki thought. A familiar voice pulled him from his thoughts.

"Sit down, Yuki." Yuki's head turned to Kyo.

"Huh?" Yuki asked.

Kyo rolled his eyes sarcastically, "Baka! I said you've been standing too long, and you should sit down."

"Oh," was all Yuki could manage.

Kyo sighed. "Come on. You can sit over here, Yuki."

Yuki allowed himself to smile a little and walked over to Kyo, finding a spot right next to him and sat down.

"Hey, Hana," Uotani whispered, "Do those two seem a bit more friendly than friendly lately?"

Hana shook her head in a positive manner. "Yes. Their vibes are also very similar. It gives me a warm and happy feeling," Hana whispered in her usual monotone.

Suddenly the bell rang for the end of lunch, and in a single second, everyone was off the roof and rushing to class. Because they ate on the roof, they always had to run half the way to class. It was inconvenient, but they liked where they ate.

The rest of the day passed in a hazy blur, but Yuki couldn't help but notice how everyday, lately, seemed to bring some new challenge, something that had him stressed out, something that just pushed him continuously. It was getting tiring. Though he knew he could make things work.

He had to.
