Tohru held onto Yuki's arm tightly as they walked home. The moon was full and high in the air, casting a pale white light on them. The chocolate on the front of Tohru's shirt and skirt had dried in the cool breeze of the night air. "I can't wait to get home," Tohru sighed. "I really want to change."
"Can I watch?" Yuki joked.
"Yuki-kun," Tohru laughed her cheeks flushing. She looked down at the ground and smiled a little. It still amazed her that someone like him could love her. Sometimes she was afraid she'd wake up one day and find out that all of it had been just a dream. Her eyes caught sight of a figure floating face down in the lake they were passing. She gasped as she tried to make out the dark silhouette in the murky water. "Yuki-kun," she cried. "Is that a person in the water?"
"What? Where?"
Tohru broke away from him and began running to the lake. She tripped on a stone as she neared the edge and fell into the water. Gasping for breath, she tried to regain her footing on the lake's floor. It wasn't that deep and she could stand with the water only up to her chest. Looking around she found the "body" but from her much closer position, she could now see it was just a long log floating around. Tohru groaned and wiped some water from her face. She saw Yuki running towards her, panting loudly.
"Honda-san!" he exclaimed. "Are you all right?!" He extended his arm forward and offered her his hand. "What were you talking about a minute ago? A person?"
"Oh umm," Tohru said blushing fiercely. "I thought I saw a body floating in the lake so I ran over here and ... fell." She took his hand and he tried to pull her out.
Yuki couldn't help but a laugh a little. "You're always so considerate. Just be careful or you'll get yourself hurt." Holding her hand, he pulled a little harder and felt himself lose his balance. In only seconds he found himself crashing into the water beside Tohru.
"Yuki-kun!" Tohru gasped. "Are you okay?"
His head came bursting through the surface and he spit out a small stream of water from his mouth. "Eww, lake water," he mumbled. Grinning at her in embarrassment, he brushed his wet hair from his eyes with his fingers. "Sorry, I can't believe I fell in too. Those rocks are slippery."
Tohru nodded. Yuki looked so handsome that she was speechless. The water dripped down his pale cheek and he wiped it away.
"Hey," Yuki said raising an eyebrow. "Now we don't have to wash the chocolate out of our clothes."
"I guess not," Tohru laughed shaking her head. "We should probably start climbing out though."
"Well I don't know," Yuki said nonchalantly. "We're already soaked, we might as well have some fun." He winked at her. "If you know what I mean."
"Fun?" Tohru choked, her cheeks turning red. Did he want to do it? Right now? Outside in the water?
"Yeah," Yuki laughed splashing her with his hand. A spray of water flew at her, drenching her hair. "Water fight!"
"Yuki-kun," Tohru squealed shielding her face with her hands. Oh, so that's what he had meant. She retaliated, hitting the surface, a wave of water rolling over him.
"You know what I think," Ayame said grandly holding out his arms as Kagura and Kyo entered the house. "I think all of you need a nice exciting trip."
"A trip?" Kyo asked. "What are you talking about?"
"I want you all to visit my beautiful beach house of course," Ayame said rolling his eyes as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"That's a wonderful idea Aya!" Shigure cried. "How fun, how fun. Now surely Tohru-kun will have to come and of course she'll have to wear a bathing a suit and how cute she'll look! I can hardly wait!"
"I don't know," Kyo said doubtfully. "I get the feeling being anywhere near me will only make her uncomfortable."
"Ah yes," Ayame nodded. "I heard about what happened between you two last week."
"Yeah well," Kyo stammered. "I apologized but I don't think she's going to forgive me."
"Give her time," Kagura said quietly placing a hand on his shoulder. "You can't expect her to forget so quickly."
"I know that."
"Well like I was saying," Ayame broke in with a wave of his hand. "That's why you all need to come to my beach house. It'll be loads of fun and will help everyone loosen up a bit."
"I suppose," Kyo agreed. He narrowed his eyes to himself. Damn, but that also meant he was going to have to see Yuki and Tohru get all kissy kissy in front of him. It was enough to make him sick. He shook his head quickly. That didn't matter anymore. He and Tohru were just not meant to be together, and besides, he had realized that he already did have someone who loved him.
Kagura looked up at Kyo in wonder. What was he thinking about? "Kyo-kun?" she asked uncertainly. "Are you all right?"
He smiled at her despite himself, and to her (and his) complete shock, kissed her quickly on the cheek. "I'm fine."
"Yuki-kun," Tohru laughed as she tried to brush the water from her face. "I think that's enough now."
"So you're admitting defeat?" Yuki asked grinning.
"Yes, you win."
"Good, then I get to take my prize," he murmured as he pulled her closer. Covering her lips with his own, he enveloped her in a long, passionate kiss.
Tohru closed her eyes and kissed him back, feeling a warm rush of heat course through her body. Her arms wrapped around the back of his neck while he tangled his fingers into her long hair.
"You're so beautiful," he whispered as he looked down at her damp face, her wet hair hanging around her. He moved his lips to her neck and kissed her skin softly. Then he returned to her lips, claiming them as his own.
Without realizing what she was doing, Tohru moved her hands under his shirt and caressed his back. She trailed her fingers down his skin, memorizing every detail of his body. His lips were warm and gentle as they moved along her mouth. She felt his hands wander to the front of her shirt and he began to remove the top part of her school uniform. What were they doing? They were outside in public? But no one was around, and Tohru didn't want to stop.
Yuki undid Tohru's bra and sliding his hand over her chest, he began to massage her breast. He wanted to hold her in his arms and never let go but knew that would be impossible. Instead, all he could do was touch her. He wanted to touch her. He wanted to know every part of her. He wanted to feel every inch of skin and make it his own. Slowly, he slid his tongue into her mouth, meeting hers.
Tohru was lost in the moment, allowing his hot caresses to roam her body. Somehow, out of the corner of her eye she noticed her discarded clothing floating on the water's surface. Floating far... far away. "Yuki-kun," she gasped quickly pulling away. "My clothes!"
"Hmm, what?" he murmured. Looking up, he saw what she meant. "Oops," he stammered quickly. "I'm really sorry. I wasn't paying attention." Leaning forward in the water, he began to swim towards them.
"Eeek, don't leave me," Tohru whimpered glancing around nervously. She wrapped her arms over her chest and watched him disappear in the distance to retrieve her clothing. There was noise coming toward her on shore and a beam of light began to shine on her. She felt her face grow hot as she heard muffled whispers from whoever it was on land. "Yuki-kun," she called quietly backing away deeper into the water. Turning to look for him, she heard a familiar voice.
"Well what do you know!" Shigure cried laughing loudly. He handed his flashlight to Ayame and leaned forward in the water. "That is Tohru-kun. I had my doubts at first, what with you being topless and all, but lo and behold..."
"Oh crap," Yuki muttered as he swam back up next to Tohru and handed her the top of her school uniform. "What are they doing here?"
"We were ever so worried dearest little brother," Ayame cried. "When you didn't return home... but if I had known you were making children with Tohru-san, we wouldn't have come looking for you."
"Making children!" Yuki sputtered. "We weren't doing anything like that."
"Sure you weren't." Ayame sighed. "Its so touching. My little brother has finally found love."
"Damn it!! Go away!!"
Tohru stayed silent, struggling to put her clothes back on, her face bright red. This was just too embarrassing, and wouldn't it be somewhat considerate of them to stop aiming that flashlight at her?
A/N Sorry this took awhile. I wasn't sure if I was going to finish but everyone's reviews were so encouraging, I felt like I'd be letting people down if I didn't. Anyway, the next few chapters are going to be about the trip with Ayame which should have some more limey and lemony fun. Perhaps Kyo and Kagura as well? I like those two as a couple but I'm not sure if other people do too. Well, I'll see how it turns out.
