Chapter 2: Confessions

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                'Something is wrong…it's just a little too quiet for everything to be all right…what had happened while I was gone?' Shigure pondered this while he ate, observing the other three that were at the table too. Kyo hadn't said a word to Tohru, even when she had accidentally put leeks all through his food, and he made no attempt at all to pick a fight with Yuki, which is extremely odd, and Tohru hasn't been her cheerful self recently. After some thought he decided to break the silence,

                "Tohru, wonderful cooking as always, but what's wrong? You don't seem to be your cheerful self…are you coming down with something?"

                "N-no! That's not it at all…I guess I'm just a little tired."

                "You have been working very hard recently, why don't you go ahead and go to bed. We can take care of the dishes."

                "Oh no! I couldn't leave a-"

                "Don't worry about it Honda san. ((AN: I'm not sure is I spelled it right, but I wanted Yuki to sound…well, more like Yuki)) You go and get some rest, " Yuki said as he gave her a reassuring smile. With that, she gave up protesting and headed up stairs. Of course she couldn't tell them the real reason why she was acting the way she was. She could feel her face blush as she remembered the events that happened earlier this morning. 'Maybe some sleep will do me some good after all,' she thought as she crawled into her bed. She was tired but she hadn't realized exactly how exhausted she was until she laid down. She fell asleep almost immediately.

                Kyo quietly helped out with the dishes and kept ignoring whatever Yuki was saying to him. Getting in a fight with Yuki would only make Tohru even madder at him…

                Yuki just didn't get it…no matter what happened or what he said, he got no reaction of anger from Kyo. What had happened to him while everyone was away? Could Kagura have finally broken him? No, if she had been here he would have been bruised and the house would have been ruined…Oh well…this way I won't have to worry about him hurting Tohru any more and he won't be such a nuisance all the time...though he somehow looked…sad…'Quit worrying over that baka neko,' Yuki shook his head as he climbed into his bed…'Everything will probably be back to normal in the morning.'

                Kyo looked over at the clock, 2:00 am…he was having trouble going to sleep…he just couldn't be at ease with the knowledge that Tohru might hate him now…Before he knew it, he was at Tohru's door. 'How…when did I…?' He stood there for a moment and went in. He had to know for sure if she hated him or not. He crept slowly towards her bed and gently shook her shoulder. Tohru stirred and gasped when her eyes focused on him.

                "Kyo? Wha-"

                "I'm…I'm sorry for what I did earlier," he could feel his face turning red as he spoke, "I need to know the truth…do you hate me for what I did? If you do I-" His speech was cut off by a kiss from Tohru. At first he was just shocked but then he relaxed and began to kiss her back. He was being extra careful to keep his distance so he wouldn't change during this moment. When she broke the kiss, she was bright red and he figured he was blushing pretty badly too, she looked up at him and said,

                "I've liked you for a long time, but I'll only return the same amount of feelings toward you that you have given me."

                "Huh?"

                "A kiss for a kiss, etc., etc." Kyo was overjoyed at hearing this and gave her another kiss before he started to head back toward his room. He laid down in his bed and drifted off, dreaming of Tohru.

                'So that's what was up with those two,' smiled Shigure, as he had heard the whole conversation. He wouldn't have eavesdropped on them had he not seen Kyo go into Tohru's room while he was coming upstairs after getting a glass of water...but either way he was happy to find out that nothing serious was wrong with them and now he had some information to tease them about. 'Tomorrow will be an interesting day…I wonder what will happen when Yuki finds out about this?'

(AN: So? How am I doing? Is it too bad so far? I think I misspelled Kagura…and I did this one pretty quick (so please don't shoot me for some errors here and there) It's short because I ran into the point I wanted to stop the second chapter on sooner than expected. Oh, and reviews please! They truly encourage me! (even if it's only one.))
