Chapter 12: Kisses at Sunrise

(Amy POV)

I woke up to someone calling my name. I groaned as I looked at Kyo's clock. I groaned again. I wasn't even asleep for thirty damn minutes!

"Dammit, Amy, get the hell up!" My eyes flew open and I was staring Kyo in the eyes. I blinked.

"Hello, Kyo… I can explain why Uo and everyone aren't here…" I said, lying through my teeth. Kyo huffed. I knew he didn't believe me.

"Yea, I bet you can. What I'd like you to explain is why Tohru was down stairs crying and you were sleeping peacefully?" I sat up and noticed that Kyo was also sitting down, rather than standing up like I thought he was.

"Again; gosh, I didn't know. I brought her up here after I calmed her down the first time, and I guess she left back down the stairs without telling me… I'm sorry I wasn't there for her… and why are you back anyways? You're supposed to be at the Zodiac Banquet, silly kitty," I stated. Kyo blushed.

"Don't call me a silly kitty… and Uh, well… that damn rat and I decided that we didn't wanna go this year, so we came home…" I giggled. That seemed to make him blush even more.

"Kyo, why did you run if you just decided to come home," I asked. He looked at me with wide eyes.

"How did you know?" He asked.

"Your out of breath, your face is flushed and you're sitting down with your hands on the ground, holding yourself up. It was actually pretty obvious," I pointed out, making Kyo's face flush even more. "But, Kyo, didn't Tohru say you skipped the Banquet last year as well? Won't get in mega trouble?"

"I don't care" Kyo stated with attitude, "Akito can go to hell!"

I laughed. "Okay, well… why did you decided to come back? I mean, besides the fact that you didn't feel like going."

"I, uh… I wanted to watch the sunrise with you… and Tohru; you and Tohru!" Kyo yelled, embarrassed. I smiled at him. The truth is I've been trying to take my mind off of the fact that I was spending New Years alone by sleeping and going through Kyo's stuff. I mean, Tohru's great, but I just don't get along with her as much as I do my family or Kyo… I mean, not that I like hanging out with Kyo, or whatever…

"Well then, why don't we do that," I suggested. "The sun should start coming up in an hour and thirty minutes, let's make snacks to take up to the roof!"

Kyo smiled at me. My eyes widened a bit as a blush graced my cheeks.

"Sure, that sounds like a nice idea."

I nodded at him as he helped me up and we headed downstairs. When we got down there, I told Tohru my idea to bring snacks to the roof to watch the sunrise and she loved it. Kyo, Tohru, Yuki and I ventured into the kitchen and started preparing things that were easy to make. Tohru and I convinced Kyo to teach Yuki ho to make a good rice ball, and they actually kind of got along. They both laughed at the terrible rice ball Yuki made, but when they noticed that they were getting along, they stopped laughing and looked away from each other.

"Don't comment on my rice ball, idiot cat…" Yuki warned. Kyo growled at him.

"Why don't you make a better one next time, damned rat," Kyo hissed. This made Tohru and I laugh at the two.

After about forty minutes of setting up rice balls and everything, we all rushed to the roof. It was dark, and quiet. Kyo climbed out first and took the plate with eight rice balls on it and Yuki made his way up. Tohru and I didn't need the help, but it was nice that he stayed behind to help us up. I sat by Kyo and Tohru, while Tohru sat by me and Yuki.

"Okay, so the sun is gonna come up in about thirty minutes, huh?" Yuki asked Tohru. She nodded with a big smile on her face as Kyo gave me a rice ball. I passed it to Tohru and she passed it to Yuki. I then passed one Kyo gave me to me to Tohru, and then Kyo gave me another one and took one for himself. Tohru started talking to Yuki, leaving Kyo and I to just sit and stare at each other.

"So…" I started. Kyo was blushing as we looked at each other. I then felt a blush start to cover my face and I got up, taking a bite out of my rice ball. "I'll be back… I have to uh… go to the bathroom, yea!"

I ran over to the edge of the roof, almost falling off. Yuki jumped up and grabbed the back of my shirt, snatching me up. I twirled around and he sighed, relieved that I was alright. I smiled at him.

"I know one thing that needs to be on your list of new-year's resolutions," he teased. I laughed and carefully went into the window.

(No One POV)

Tohru and Yuki slid over to Kyo, scaring him half-to-death. Kyo didn't even have the chance to yell before Tohru started talking.

"You should tell Amy that you like her when the sun rises!" She exclaimed. Kyo blushed.

"W-What are you talking about? I can't tell her that!" He snapped. "That would embarrass me for life if she didn't like me back-… wait a second… did I just…?" Yuki smirked.

"Yes, you just admitted to the fact that you like her." Kyo blushed ferociously.

"Please, just tell her for me," Tohru begged.

It took a while, but Kyo finally cracked.

"Fine, fine, I'll tell her! Dammit!" Kyo growled.

"You're gonna tell her when the sun rises, right?" Tohru asked. Kyo rolled his eyes, thou he had a major blush on his face.

"What's going on?" Everyone's heads snapped over toward the ladder.

(Amy POV)

Everyone quickly looked at me when I spoke to them. I looked at each one of them. I side smirked at them.

"What's wrong with all of you?" I asked as Tohru and Yuki slid back over to their original spots. I went back over and sat by Kyo, hoping we weren't just gonna stare at each other again. I smiled at him and he looked straight ahead.

"Look, the sun is coming up," Yuki pointed out. I didn't even notice Tohru and Kyo look at each other.

"Oh, my, gosh, it looks so beautiful! Everyone, make a wish!" I practically screamed.

"I wish I knew more about my crush on Kyo" –Amy

"I wish I have the strength to tell Amy that I like her…" –Kyo

"I wish I wasn't the rat of the zodiac" –Yuki

"I wish Amy and Kyo will just admit their feelings for each other" –Tohru

I smiled after I made my wish. I heard a loud gulp as Kyo grabbed my shoulder. I looked him. "Yes?"

Kyo gulped one more time. "Uh… Amy, I, uh…"

I blinked at him. I then blushed. Was trying to… Oh, my, gosh, he can't be…

"I, really… I really like… I mean… ah, dammit!" Kyo yelled, shoving himself off the roof and over me. I leaned back on to the roof, wide eyed. Kyo was blinking and blushing. He then closed his eyes, and started moving in closer to me. I looked at Tohru and Yuki for confirmation that this was happening. They just kept motioning for me to look at Kyo. I did and saw how dangerously close he was. I then, for some odd reason I didn't know of, started giggling. Kyo stopped, his cheeks turning redder as he started to lift himself away from me. I grabbed the front of his shirt and he opened his eyes.

"Oh, no, don't stop. You were so close to my lips," I laughed. He was about to yell at me, but I pulled him down, and closed my eyes right before his lips brushed against mine. That's when I knew that I got my wish. I knew more about my crush on Kyo. Like the fact that I don't have a crush on him at all… because… the truth is…

I'm in love with Kyo Sohma.
