Okay. This one is like a deleted scene. The scene is from the manga. It's the part where Tohru first sees Kyo's true form. The kiss is what happens before we see the two come out of the forest-Kyo as a cat in Tohru's arms.
I had to do a lot of reading for this one. I kept everything in the scene ACTLY the same except for the kiss. You can even check.
Thank you kurtle for the idea!
"I'm disgusting, aren't I? I'm sickening, aren't I? Why don't you leave me alone?! I DON'T WANT YOUR PITY!"
The beast that Kyo Sohma had become yelled, his voice cracking with emotion. The girl he was speaking to-no, screaming at-was Tohru Honda. She had just discovered a terrible secret. A secret well guarded by generations of zodiac members. She had found out what the blood-stained beads were for.
Flashback…
Kazuma Sohma grabbed Kyo's left hand. Kyo was too shocked by the sudden movement to move.
"The warm feeling you compared to "drowning in lukewarm water"…you know that it will heal you. But…the truth is, you don't want her to know your true form. You are afraid of losing her if she finds out. You are just trying to run from that uncertainty."
"You're wron-" Kyo protested.
Kazuma ignored him. "You leave me no other choice. I will take away your means of escape. Will you lose her or not? I will help you find the answer. Kyo, discover for yourselfif whether or not your birthright really makes you 'worthless'."
And with that, he took away Kyo's beads. And the true Kyo was exposed.
Tohru reached out a hand to touch him. In doing so, she was trying not only to reassure Kyo, but herself as well. "Kyo-ku…Kyo-kun…but…but I…"
"DON'T TOUCH ME!!" he yelled. In one fluid moment, he scratched Tohru on her neck and shoulder, tearing her shirt in the process.
Inside, Kyo's heart broke, but he couldn't stand having her pity. He didn't want anyone's pity ever again.
"Get lost!" he yelled. "You are driving me crazy! I can't stand to look at you!! Next time, I'll cut your face to pieces!! GET LOST!!"
Dazed, Tohru stumbled away.
If I'm going to lose her anyways…I'll make it so bad, I'll hurt her so much…that it couldn't possibly hurt anymore!
Kyo sat there, in his grotesque body, and thought of his dead mother. How she would always pretend to love him, but was actually dying inside every time she saw him.
Kyo was so caught up in his self pity that he didn't see Tohru spin around and run to him-a determined look on her face. She flung her herself to the ground and clung to his monstrous arm.
"Youu have to go back. Back home. Let's go back."
"You…" Kyo said in a startled tone.
"You just have to…I couldn't bear it if you don't!
"Stop it! Let go… Don't you get it?!"
"No! I don't get it!" Tohru cried. "I' scared….I've never seen anything like it. T's scary… Right now…Kyo-kun…listening to your voice, it's not like you. But from now on…I want to understand everything… Just like you listened to my complaints, Kyo-kun…I want you to let me listen to yours. I want us to live…eat meals, study…share our troubles…like we did before…together. I want us to stay together!!" Tohru squeezed her eyes shut as the tears streamed down her cheeks.
"You don't have to…love everything." Kyo's voice reached her ears. It was his human voice. Tohru's eyes snapped open as she realized that she was holding on to a human arm.Looking up, she saw in amazement that Kyo was back to normal.
"It's okay…if you were scared. It's okay…" Kyo continued. "This is what I wanted all along. To have someone to share my troubles with. Let's go on living…together."
Suddenly, Kyo grabbed Tohru's forearm and pulled her to his bare chest. (He had pants on!! Don't worry!) He pressed his face into Tohru's hair and breathed in her scent.
"…Tohru. Tohru!" Kyo whispered her name like it was the most precious word on earth. He clung to her tightly, like he was afraid she would vanish at any moment.
Tohru smiled, and slowly, brought her free hand around to his back where she gently rubbed his smooth skin. A poof of orange smoke brought them back to reality. It didn't take long for him to change back, and Tohru turned respectfully as Kyo got dressed.
Kyo's eyes had an odd look in them as he put on his pants. He walked over to Tohru and gently wiped a few stray hairs from her face.
"Tell me…why did you want to stay together?"
Tohru blushed and looked down. She could feel Kyo's eyes piercing through her.
"Because…I….I l-love you Kyo-kun. No matter what you look like."
Kyo cupped his hand under her chin and raised her head. Then he tilted his face and pressed his lips to hers. His other hand pressed against the back of her head, bringing her closer. Tohru's arms wound around his neck, her hands tangling in his hair. A second poof of smoke was the only thing that stopped them from continuing.
Tohru was breathing hard as she stooped down to pick up the orange cat. She rubbed against him with her cheek, and Kyo purred.
As they came out of the woods and came upon Shigure's house, Kyo lifted his head to whisper in her ear.
"Let's go on living…together."
I had to laugh at the part with Kyo purring. It just seems funny for me for some reason.
I am still accepting ideas!
