Thank you for all those who reviewed. This is for all of you. (

Kyo was lying at the roof with his two hands supporting his head, deep in thought. When will I tell her? He asked himself. How will I tell her? Kyo was afraid that Yuki might beat him to it. And knowing Tohru, she might agree to become Yuki's girlfriend just because she was afraid to hurt Yuki's feelings even if Tohru has no romantic feelings toward that baka nezumi. Suddenly, Kyo spotted a shooting star. He quickly made a silent wish, I wish.. I wish that Tohru would also love me.., he asked silently. He was surprised himself that he believed that shooting stars will grant wishes. Oh well, desperate problems calls for drastic measures, he reasoned himself.

Tohru is still in a confused state. Me? Why would I like Shigure in the first place? She asked herself as she tried to find logic reasons for her feelings. Well, Shigure is smart, kind, rich, and handsome. But so are Yuki and Kyo. What could Shigure have that Yuki and Kyo don't have? Suddenly, images of Shigure teasing her or laughing flashed top her mind. So, that's it! She realized. It's his sense of humor. With Yuki and Kyo, although I enjoy talking to them, I barely laugh with them. Those two are so uptight. Yuki is always in his princely image and Kyo always putting up an angry demeanor. It is only when I'm with Shigure-san I am able to loosen up and forget my problems. Being with Gure-san, I laugh a lot. She thought happily as she discovered why she liked Shigure. But her happiness quickly diminished as she thought, now what?

Kyo thought to himself, it's now or never Kyo as he was scanning the room for Tohru. His face lit up when he saw her. He quickly approached her. "Hey, may I talk to you later?"

"Of course. We go home from school together, don't we?" Tohru asked in confusion.

Kyo let out an exasperated sigh. He should learn to be able to explain himself more. "I meant talk without Yuki and before going home"

"Oh, okay" Tohru smiled at him brightly.

Kyo was walking already leaving Tohru behind when he remembered they still don't have a meeting place. Kyo turned around. "Meet me at the fountain after school, ok?"

"Hai" was all Tohru said still smiling at him.

Well that was easy, Kyo thought. If only it would still be easy later, he thought miserably.

Later, Kyo found Tohru already waiting for him at the fountain. He silently thanked his lucky stars since her two friends were not there. Normally, they would stay with Tohru everywhere she went. As he approached Tohru, he noticed that she was deep in thought and hasn't even noticed his arrival. "Hey!" he said nervously.

"Oh, Kyo-kun" Tohru was visibly surprised to find him standing there already. "What is it you want to talk about? Do you have any school problem?" She asked since it was the only thing that she can think about that Kyo would want to talk to her about.

"No, I need to tell you something" Kyo said silently while looking at her.

The intensity in his eyes made Tohru nervous though she doesn't know why. "What is it?" she asked uncertainly as she tried to keep her cool.

"Tohru, I..I love you" he finally blurted out. There he said it.

"Ah..Kyo-kun" was all Tohru could say. She certainly could not believe what she just heard. Tohru kept looking down blush creeping in her cheeks. She stole a glance at Kyo who was looking at the fountain. She noticed that he is also flushed. She hadn't expected this. She could not think of anything to say. After a few moments, Kyo broke into a run and all she could do was to stare at his back and whisper his name.

Unaware to the two, a pair of eyes had seen the whole scene.
