Chapter 24- Kyo

Kyo's POV:

'What am I doing, what am I doing, what am I DOING?! Damn rat!' My mind screamed as I stomped off away from the tree I had just descended. I refused to look back at the stupid rat whom was still on the roof, instead choosing to glare at the ground as my shoes pounded into it.

They were taking me back towards the courtyard automatically. Back to where I'd last seen Tohru- with that very same bastard rat. Was I really going to do what he of all people told me to do?

"If you can't even figure out something so obvious, then I may as well just take her from you."

My teeth clenched and I stopped without even realising it. That asshole, who does he think he is!? Saying shit about taking Tohru, as if I would ever let that happen! My eyes widened at that thought and my fists slackened at my sides.

Why did I care so much? Why did it bother me so much that I would let it affect me like this? Maybe... Maybe I do like her... "Argh!" I let out a groan of frustration as I grasped my hair and crouched on my hindquarters.

My head was throbbing from trying to figure it out. It would never work for someone like me to like someone like her. I'm not good enough for her; I'll never be good enough. I'm a tainted monster, and she's... Well she's so pure.

My grip on my auburn hair tightened as I stared at the grass beneath my bent knees. Suddenly I flinched at the feeling of someone touching my shoulder. Falling back onto my rear I stared incredulously up at the culprit, eyes widening when I found myself looking back at crystal blue eyes.

"Tohru," I whispered in shock as she gathered her dress and crouched down in front of me, a small smile appearing on her concerned face.

"Are you alright, Kyo? I was calling your name for ages but you wouldn't look up," anxiety flooded her voice as she searched my face.

I could feel my face heating slightly under her gaze so I looked away and propped my arm on my bent leg. How long had she been there? "Yeah, I'm alright," I muttered softly.

I turned my head slightly when I heard her sigh, "Thank goodness," she smiled, relief now replacing the anxiety in her sapphire eyes.

God, I loved that smile.

That was it. Everything made sense now. I felt my lips turn into a small smile of my own at how long it took to figure it out. As much as I hated to say it, the rat was right; I am an idiot.

I couldn't stop staring at her, couldn't stop even if I wanted to. I laughed softly when her face tinged a light pink under my gaze. God I wanted to touch her, to hold her. That's all that I wanted right at that moment.

"Kyo?..." She questioned as I moved my hand towards her face, but she didn't back away. Just as I was about to make contact with her cheek, just as it felt like my heart was about to burst- "TOOOHHHRRUUUU!"

The shrill cry made both of us jump and I quickly withdrew my hand as we both stood up and took a step away from each other. I could feel my face burning, though with embarrassment or utter anger I couldn't tell. Tohru, looking as red as I felt, spun around as Momiji bounded over to us like a rabbit on sugar cubes. I was already glaring daggers at the oblivious blonde, though none of it ever seemed to reach his attention.

"And Kyoooo! Kyoooo you're back from climbing the tree?! Yay that means we can play now! Oh oh, and Tohru can play too! Can she Kyo?! Can she?!" He bounced up and down in front of me flicking his head back and forth between us.

Though he slowed down slightly when he looked at us properly, "Why do you guys look like tomatoes?!" He laughed hysterically while I resisted the urge to carry out my previous murder plan.

Out the corner of my eye I saw Tohru place her hands on her face in embarrassment. And I couldn't help but chuckle. Even Momiji couldn't keep me pissed for long when she was here.

Tohru flicked her eyes over at me, hands still resting on her cheeks, "Kyo, i-it's not funny," she stuttered, though I could tell she was trying not to laugh under her embarrassment.

I smirked and leaned ever so slightly in her direction, "It is a little."

Her cheeks rose under her hands as she cracked another smile.

Meanwhile Momiji had finally returned his attention back to us after (hopefully) laughing his voice off. "Come on, come on! Let's go! Pleeeeaase Kyo? Pleeease Tohru?" Nope apparently not, damn.

Tohru had stopped cradling her face in her hands and was looking down at her brother. She looked just about ready to cave under his stupid puppy-dog look. I sighed melodramatically which caused them both to look up at me.

"Fine, but just for an hour alright?" So long as Tohru was around, I could endure an hour with Momiji. Especially if Tohru was around.

Momiji's eyes lit up and Tohru gave me another one of those beautiful gratifying smiles. I had to force myself to look away, because I knew Momiji wouldn't keep his mouth shut if he noticed me smiling at her. Instead I smiled to the side, hidden from them both.

"Come on let's go!" Momiji exclaimed, his excitement bubbling over in waves. Suddenly I felt a hand grasp mine and I was pulled slightly. I looked up getting ready to yell at Momiji but stopped when I saw that Tohru was attached to me instead. Momiji had grabbed her hand and she in turn had grabbed mine as the little kid tugged at us both.

Yup, totally worth an hour of playing with the twerp.

Super short OMG! It's only just 1000 words! I think I broke it, it's not use to being less than 3000 ;w; sorry guys, but it's super early so that makes up for it :P. But anyway I just wanted to get Kyo to realise his feelings FINALLY. Lol but I didn't get him to confess, not yet :) we still gotta figure out what exactly is goin on in Torhu's head first. I dunno for some reason in animes and mangas I love it when the guy realises his feelings for the girl first, rather than the other way around. It's just so sqquueeee! *fangirls*

Anywho I'm getting off topic. So who else kind of hates Momiji for interrupting such a fluffy KyoxTohru scene? *raiseshand* Meee! Haha but I forgive him, caz he's adorable :3.

Anyway the reason why this is so small is because I wanna kind of wrap it up for the mean time so I can finally slip a little Haru love story chappie in here. I've been meaning to do it like 10 chapters ago but I couldn't because I kept finishing each chapter on a kind of cliffhanger (surprised you haven't killed me for those yet too haha *shot*).

Buuuttt one problem: I don't know what to write about it haha. Should I come up with some kind of sub-plot or just have some mindless fluff? Mindless fluff would probably be easier, but a little plot wouldn't hurt...

Argh *flipstable* I'll figure something out.

Thanks for reading guys, would love to know how it's fairing so far ;). See you soooon! Xxx
