ch002 - [ It's You ]

Japanese lesson #2 

Daijobu - Are you allright?

Konnichiwa - Hello, how are you? ;]

       The bags that she was currently holding nearly dropped out of her hands, but she gripped onto them tightly with her last bits of strength and said in her most polite voice,

"Ahh, Konnichiwa Akito-san."

She did a little bow and then glanced up to see him looking straight at her with his piercing eyes and a small smile playing on his lips. He then asked her,

"Tohru, I just wanted to know... Do you ever think about Kyo-kun?"

He started to advance towards her, slowly. Tohru gasped and gripped her bags even tighter and couldn't contain her excitement,

"You know where he is?! Oh, please if you could...could you please tell me?!"

Akito placed a cold hand onto her pale cheek, making her shiver, and then he whispered into her ear,

"I can guarantee you that you will be seeing him soon, Tohru-kun."

He flashed her a creepy smile and then walked away from her, in the pouring rain. She watched him with awe and confusion as he grew farther and farther from her. Before she knew what she was doing she started to run back home with all her things and she didn't stop running until she reached the inside of her dorm. Once she had shut the door and locked it, she slid down the door and onto the floor, covering her hands over her face. The emotions inside of her were piling high and she didn't know what to do with the emotions.

*Will I see you? What is happening? What did he mean?!*

After a few minutes of just thinking and deep breaths she glanced at the clock and saw that it was 7:30pm so she still had plenty of time to get ready. She carefully put on her new dress that she had bought and admired her new look in the mirror, slowly forgetting the things that Akito had just said to her. Tohru did her hair carefully and looked at the clock again, this time it read 8:00pm. She still had an hour and half to kill so she decided to just get there early because she knew she couldn't sit in her dorm and microscope every detail about what Akito had said to her earlier. She sighed and grabbed her umbrella and then went back outside. While on her way she saw a sight that made her drop her umbrella in shock.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyo staggered through the streets, his vision was a little blurry and he felt like he was about to collapse any moment now. He held onto a streetlight for support and watched as the cars zoomed past with a blur. He felt his body go limp all the sudden but he thought of Tohru's face and that gave him the strenght to stumble across the street, not noticing the car heading straight for him. It was a good thing that the car stopped right smack in front of him, making Kyo stumble backwards and fall onto the ground. The rain was pouring hard and he could barely think anymore, his head was spinning, but a certain something made him stay awake. A certain someone, and she was standing right on the other side of the street. She had just dropped her pink umbrella and getting completely drenched from head to toe. She ran to him, alarmed, and the driver sped away in panic, worried that he might have hit the boy.

"Kyo-kun! Kyo-kun! Daijobu?!"

Kyo weakly looked at her panicky face and smiled a small smile as she lifted his head off of the wet pavement of the street.

*No matter how hard times get... you always seem to lighten things up. How do you do it?*

He shakily lifted his left arm and touched her face gently, and whispered out her name weakly,

"Toh...r..u..."

Tohru's eyes widened and tears began to pour down her eyes,

"Kyo-kun... I'm going to bring you back to my dorm, right now. Everything will be alright."

Tohru helped him up and ignored the comments of passing people. She helped him walk the short way back to her dorm in silence. When she tiredly laid him on her bed he was breathing heavily, but looked a little better then he had before. She hurried into the bathroom and got out a lot of towels and wrapped it around a shivering Kyo.

"Kyo-kun... you're going to need new clothes...I don't want you to catch a cold."

Kyo looked into her eyes and her heart suddenly felt like it had been set on fire, it had been so long since she had looked into those intense eyes that he had. She missed these moments that they used to share. He then gave her his signature scowl and said in an angered tone,

"Dammit... What about you? You're going to catch something too, so just don't be worrying about me, i'll be fine."

"No, no, I'm fine! I have extra clothing but you don't, so you will have to take off those wet ones and let me dry them before you catch pneumonia or something worse."

Tohru's face reddened and she started to stutter as she formed the next fews words,

"Ahh....umm...you can wrap this towel around yourself after you are...umm... y-you know... um... not clothed,"

her face was completely red and the words that had just come out of her mouth made Kyo flustered as well.

"Thanks..."

He muttered and looked away from her eyes, feeling extremely embarrassed. She went into the bathroom and changed into normal attire and went back into her room to see that he was completely naked except for a towel covering his private area. She turned tomato red, but then her eye suddenly caught on a few scars on his body that quickly replaced the embarrassment with concern. She gasped and rushed towards him with panic written all over her face.

"Kyo-kun! You're hurt!"

She sat down beside him and immediately felt the heat of his body warm her. She gulped and slowly placed a fingertip on his chest, outlining the scar that was imprinted on it. Her breath was caught in her throat and her heart was pounding so loudly, she was sure that he could hear it. He suddenly caught her hand by the wrist and gently lifted it away from his body and said,

"Don't..."

She nodded silently and took her hand away, then looked shyly up into his crimson eyes and got lost in his stare. Her heart couldn't stop skipping beats and her palms were getting extremely sweaty. This was the kind of effect that Kyo had on her.

He couldn't tear his eyes from hers, he had missed her so much. He had missed watching her cheeks turn pink whenever she was embarrassed, and the way her hair fell gently around her oval shaped face, and the way that her eyes were still the same amazing shade of cocoa brown. She really hadn't changed from the way she was before, if it was possible she might've grown even more beautiful.

He was still feeling really woozy and felt that he had no control over himself, his heart was winning over his brain. He gulped from all the feelings that wanted to spill out, seeing her made him just want to grab her and kiss her. He lifted an uncontrollable hand to her face and brushed away a strand of honey colored hair from her face. She shivered from his gentle touch and closed her eyes as his fingertips caressed the side of her cheek, then he whispered her name out softly. Suddenly in an instant the warmth of his touch was gone and she gasped as she saw him faint onto the bed. Tohru positioned him to the center of the bed and carefully wrapped a warm blanket around him. She glanced at the clock and saw that it was 9:20pm, and she still had a date to attend to, but now she knew she couldn't possibly go with Kyo here. She didn't want to hurt the guy's feelings, but she couldn't leave Kyo's side either. She decided to call the guy up and postpone the date so that she didn't have to stand him up and hurt his feelings. She picked up the phone and dialed his cell phone number, after about two rings he picked up.

"Hello?"

"Ahh, Hello, this is Honda Tohru, and I'm terribly sorry to tell you this... but would it be okay if we postpone the date to tomorrow night instead? I'm just not ready today and all... and umm...an emergency came up... is that all right with you?"

"Oh! Of course, I was still in the house anyway, no big problem...well i'll see you tomorrow night at the same place...maybe 7pm?"

"Yea, that sounds good, and thank you so much for understanding,"

"No problem... good night Honda-san,"

"Good night,"

she said softly and hung up the phone with a little feeling of relief filling her body. She turned around and looked at Kyo sleeping peacefully on her bed and felt her heart warm. She still couldn't believe that this was happening, she still couldn't believe that he was finally here and so close to her. It felt so...familiar, and so nice.

If tomorrow never comes

I would want just one thing

I would tell it to the stars and the sun

I would write it for the world to see

And it's you

The light changes when you're in the room

Oh it's you

Oh it's you

If tomorrow never comes

I would want just one wish

To kiss your quiet mouth

And trace the steps with my finger tips

And it's you

The light changes when you're in the room

Oh it's you...
