Thank you for all the reviews everyone. I'm really, really, really, really thankful ^__^

ch008 - [Scared]

     It was very early in the morning and Tohru was up, thinking about the night before. She couldn't get the images and the feelings out of her mind... and there were so many thoughts that were jumbled inside that she wanted to sort out. She sighed and placed her hands onto her head and massaged the temples of her head in a slow motion.

*Have things changed now? What do I say to everyone? What is going to happen between us?!*

She couldn't take all the thinking that was taking place, so she got off her bed and went downstairs to find it empty, since it was so early. She decided that she needed advice from her best friends so she picked up the phone and three wayed Hana, and Uo.

"What's up Tohru? Is everything all right at the Sohmas?"

asked Uo in a concerned tone. Tohru laughed nervously on the phone and reassured them by saying,

"Oh yes! Everything is fine... but I do have kind of a problem."

Both Hana and Uo's ears perked up and they listened intently as Tohru continued,

"Me and Kyo kind of... got together last night..."

"YOU WHAT?!!!!!!!!"

screeched Uo so loudly that Tohru had to hold the phone away from her ears.

"We'll get that idiot for deflowering our Tohru,"

said Hana monotonously. Tohru nearly dropped the phone in embarrassment,

"You guys! I didn't do that! All we did was have one kiss, nothing more!"

Uo and Hana both calmed down and Uo's voice level lowered back to normal,

"Oh...well that's a relief...so what's the big problem?"

Tohru sighed into the receiver and then sat down on a nearby stool,

"I...I just don't know what to do now, I have a feeling that things between us will be awkward now. And I'm not sure if I want Sohma-kun to find out.. because I don't want to hurt his feelings any more then I already have."

Uo and Hana paused on the phone for a second to think and then Uo spoke,

"I think the best thing to do is to tell The Prince and see how everything goes from there. I'm sure if it's the right relationship and if it's meant to be then you two should be able to get through it. This is merely an obstacle... but you'll get through it Tohru."

"Thank you Uo-chan."

"And do not forget that we will always be here for you if you need anything else at all. We're best friends,"

said Hana on the other line.

"Thank you Hana-chan... you two are the best. Thank you for listening to me and everything."

Tohru suddenly heard the sounds of footsteps echoeing down the staircase and quickly said her goodbye to the two and hung up the phone. Once she put the phone down Kyo entered the kitchen and stopped in his tracks when he saw Tohru standing in the kitchen. He blushed and looked down at the wooden floorboard,

"O-Oy..."

he said nervously and stuck his hands in his pockets. He glanced up at her bashfully and then cleared his throat. Tohru felt the heat build up inside her and she gulped with all the silence that hung in the air.

"Ahhh.... Kyo-kun, I--"

Right at that second Yuki entered the kitchen sleepily.

"Ohayou Honda-san."

Tohru leaned on the cold counter and said in an almost dissappointed voice,

"O-Ohayou Sohma-kun.."

Kyo just grunted and then left the kitchen, leaving Yuki and Tohru standing there. Tohru knew that one way of getting rid of some of the emotions juggling inside of her was to confess her feelings about Kyo to Yuki.

"Sohma-kun, I have something to tell you."

Yuki opened up the fridge and scanned it for a drink and asked,

"What is it?"

Tohru fumbled with the hem of her shirt and stuttered out,

"Me and Kyo kissed last night... and ... and I just wanted to get it out in the open."

Yuki froze and he slowly closed the door of the refrigerator before facing Tohru. He then put on a shaky smile and asked in a weak voice,

"Well... are you happy with him?"

Tohru nodded with a guilt and then looked back up at his glazing eyes and whispered out,

"I'm sorry..."

Yuki shook his head and gave her a genuine smile,

"Then I'm happy for you. I mean, you deserve so much better than that idiot cat... but as long as you're happy then I'm happy."

Tohru felt the tears fill her eyes as she laced her fingers together and flashed him a giant smile,

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

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

Kyo was up on the roof and heard the familiar footsteps clamber closer to him. He turned his head and saw Tohru approach him and sit down right next to him on the roof. She had a nervous, yet serious expression on her face,

"Kyo-kun I have to tell you something,"

she said sincerely and looked him in the eyes. He crossed his legs and turned around to face her,

"What is it?"

Tohru took a deep breath but still maintained the eye contact,

"I want to be more than friends with you."

Kyo's crimson eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat.

"I…"

Tohru's heart beat faster as she awaited his answer. She then saw a small, but rare, smile form on his face and she felt a surge of happiness fill her heart as he said warmly,

"I do too."

Tohru couldn't contain her excitement anymore as she lunged forward and gave him a giant hug. He fell over and felt her body heat fill him for a millisecond before he transformed into a grumpy orange cat.

Shigure was sitting at the table when Kyo sat down across from him and said and said in a low voice,

"I need you to do me a favor."

Shigure looked up from the paper that he was looking at and asked,

"What is it?"

Kyo turned red and stared down at the coffee colored table,

"Me... and Tohru are kind of together, so if you wouldn't mind, I'd like you to keep this as a secret. I don't want Kagura hunting me or Tohru down, if you know what I mean,"

he grumbled. Shigure chuckled and said in a sing a song voice,

"Tohru and Kyo, kissin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N----"

Kyo smacked Shigure upside the head before he could finish the wretched song and felt the veins pop up on his forehead.

"Shut up! Just tell me that you won't tell!"

"I miiigghhhttt,"

said Shigure, with a goofy smile plastered on his face. Kyo felt his hands ball up into tight fists and he took deep breaths and muttered,

"Please..."

Shigure laughed and said,

"Fine, fine, I just like seeing you get so riled up, it's so funny."

Kyo rolled his eyes and then went back up to his room. Shigure watched as he stomped up the steps and smiled knowingly,

*I knew there was always something between Kyo and Tohru ^^*
