Ok, ok. I'll try to make this a little longer. Thanks D.D for your
constant reviews. So far you're my favorite reviewer. He he (
Kyo found himself in the woods when he finally stopped running to look in his surroundings. I knew it, he thought glumly. She's in love with Yuki after all. I was just fooling myself, he thought as he sat at one of the rocks. Kyo always noticed when Tohru will get out of her way for Yuki but he also notices when Tohru gets out of her way for him. It had seemed Tohru's love was equal for them then, but now he knows that Yuki won again.
(Yuki is now in his secret base). He hadn't noticed it, but he just killed one of his plants because of his very firm grip. Why? Why? He keeps asking himself. He was walking around the school trying to find Tohru so that they can go home already when he saw the two of them in the fountain. He was going to approach them but decided against it when he saw the look on their faces. It seems that Kyo and Tohru was discussing something embarrassing because their faces were all shades of red. Even if he is not within earshot, he knew what just happened. Kyo just confirmed his suspicions when that baka neko broke into a run leaving Tohru behind. Why did Kyo do it? He asked himself once again. He was really surprised and angry too, when he realized that Kyo just confessed. It was very unlike Kyo to let anyone know his true feelings, or so he thought. His feelings must be really intense and deep for it to drive him into confession. The next question is, what would be Tohru's answer?
Tohru dreaded coming home. How can I face Kyo now? She asked herself as she was walking home. Tohru is now more confused than ever. She already knew that she likes Shigure but she can't ignore the confession of love by Kyo. For awhile, she had romantic notions about Kyo. She acknowledged that she even had a crush on him. If Kyo had confessed a month ago, she might even consider answering him back. But now, the realization that she likes Shigure a lot if not love him, made this situation difficult. Mother, what would I do? She asked silently. She can't remember a word of wisdom her mother gave her regarding this subject. I know! I'll just think what mother would say if she were alive. She thought relieved. But she already arrived at the Souma house and she still can't think of any answer.
Tohru was in the process of removing her shoes when she felt someone was looking at her. When she looked up, she saw that it was Shigure. "Ouch!" she exclaimed while clutching her chest. Her heart skipped a beat! It was followed by her heart beating faster than before. She had never experienced this before. It was painful yet exciting at the same time. "Tohru-kun, where are your knights?" Shigure said teasingly. Blush crept at her cheeks when she realized that she was standing there gaping at Shigure the whole time. She looked down.
"Um." she began when she realized that she had nothing to say. She didn't know where Kyo ran off and she left Yuki at school. She was so preoccupied that she forgot to find Yuki.
"I don't know" she said honestly.
Fortunately, Shigure seemed not really interested and went to his study. Tohru went up to her room and change her uniform. She quickly went downstairs to start preparing dinner. She was thankful that she has so many things to do because it would help keep her mind off her troubles.
At dinner...
Shigure informed them that Kyo dropped awhile ago and Kyo would not be joining them for dinner. Upon hearing this, Tohru paled. She knew that she's the reason why Kyo will miss dinner. She stared at Kyo's place at the dinner table. I was really rude to Kyo when I didn't say anything when he confessed. He has the right to know and he must know it soon, she decided.
Yuki noticed the change in Tohru's face when Shigure mentioned Kyo. "Don't worry Honda-san, Kyo will return when he gets hungry." Yuki tried to assure her.
Tohru was washing the dishes when she had an idea. She would ask Yuki to help her with homework since she knew that she can't make them alone anyway. Her mind would just wander somewhere and she would not be able to concentrate on her studies. But with Yuki around, she would be forced to concentrate and Yuki will help her take her mind off things.
"Um, Yuki-kun" she called when she saw Yuki pass by the kitchen.
"What is it Honda-san?"
"Um, I was wondering if you could help me with my homework later."
"Sure, just go up to my room and we'll do our homework together, ok?" Yuki replied.
"Hai!" was Tohru's enthusiastic reply before going back to her duties.
Yuki can't believe his luck. Maybe I should also confess now. After all, fate is now working in his favor.
Yuki and Tohru by now were in the middle of their assignments. Tohru's plan worked out perfectly. She was able to concentrate on her homework and she hasn't thought about Kyo or Shigure the whole time. But she also noticed that it seems that Yuki was the one having a hard time concentrating. Yuki was just waiting for the perfect timing to say his feelings and of course he's also mounting all the courage he could muster. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but admire Kyo for being able to say his feelings. He is not really that expectant that Tohru would answer him yes but it was still worth a try. If Kyo could do it, then so can he.
"Ano.Tohru." Yuki finally managed to say, but was interrupted by a noise downstairs coming from the kitchen.
Tohru also heard this. Kyo flashed into her mind. "Yuki-kun, please excuse me I'm just going to check the kitchen. Maybe Shigure is hungry again." She excused herself and hurriedly went to the kitchen. Yuki only sighed.
Sure enough, Tohru found Kyo fumbling through the kitchen obviously trying to find something to eat.
"Kyo-kun" Tohru said. Kyo jumped at the sound of his voice.
"I'm just looking for something to eat" Kyo said gruffly without turning around.
"I need to tell you something, Kyo-kun"
Upon hearing this, a glimpse of hope filled Kyo. "What about? He said finally turning to face Tohru.
Tohru said quietly, "I'm sorry Kyo-kun but I like someone else". Tohru was that straightforward. She figured that it is also time for Kyo to know her secret since she considers him as one of her best friends after Hana-chan and Uo-chan, of course.
Kyo's heart shattered. He had no idea that Tohru would say this to him. How could she do this to him? He thought angrily. She knows how I hate that baka nezumi and here she is rubbing it in my face that she chose him over me, he thought bitterly.
"..so, I think that you should know who I like. It's.
"ENOUGH!" he shouted.
Tohru was taken aback. She hasn't expected this. It was the first time Kyo ever raised his voice that high on her. It seems that Kyo was also surprised by his behavior. He angrily stormed off the house leaving Tohru shaking.
