Tohru woke at the sound of her alarm clock going off. Quickly she opened her eyes. She smiled when she realized that Kyo was still curled up in her arms. Slowly she shook him awake. "Kyo, we have to get up now."

Kyo opened one of his cat's eyes and hissed at her. "Do I have to get up, it's so comfortable."

Tohru just leaned down and kissed him on the head. "We need to go to school."

" I don't give a damn about school though." Kyo said, sulkily.

Tohru smiled and lifted him off her. She gathered up his clothes and put them along with the kitty Kyo in his room, where he could change back and get dressed.

Tohru quickly pulled on her uniform and ran downstairs so that she could get a head start on breakfast. She was going to make something special for everyone because she was so happy.

As Tohru served breakfast she wondered where Yuki was, but her attention was sidetracked as Kyo walked into the kitchen. They looked at each other and blushed slightly remembering last night.

Shigure watched the exchange silently. Then he spoke up. "Tohru, I think you would want to know, Yuki will not be going school today. He didn't sleep well last night so I thought it best he sleep some more."

Tohru instantly became worried. "That's terrible. Is he going to be ok? Maybe I should bring him some breakfast.."

Shigure shook his hand and waved her to continue eating her breakfast.

"No no no, I can take care of him. If you don't hurry up you'll be late for school."

Kyo and Tohru walked silently together on the way to school. Shyly Kyo reached out and grabbed a hold of her hand. She smiled up at him and his heart melted.

"Tohru, things don't have to change, if you don't want them to. We can be just friends. I can handle it." Even as Kyo said that he knew it wasn't true, but he wanted her to be happy no matter what.

"No, Kyo. I want things to change..I want to be closer to you." Tohru said. Kyo felt such happiness in his heart. It was exactly what he needed to hear.

Kyo spent the whole day in school lost in thoughts about Tohru. He didn't even bother to look when the teachers called his name.

"Sohma! Kyo Sohma? Hello?! Kyo? Do you know the answer to the question?"

Kyo looked up at the teacher, and glared. The teacher sighed and continued on with the lesson. Kyo glanced over to where Tohru was sitting in her seat, focusing on what the teacher was saying. His face softened and he smiled as he watched her.

Hana instantly felt something. She looked at Kyo and then over at Tohru. The signals were telling her that something must have happened between them.

Yuki slept most of the day. He awoke when he heard the sounds of Tohru and Kyo returning home. Yuki closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep when Tohru came up to his room.

Tohru sighed and looked in at the sleeping Yuki. "Do you think he's going to be ok?" She said quietly to Kyo who was standing next to her. Kyo put a hand on her head and pulled her away from the door. "That damn rat's gonna be fine. Don't worry about him."

Shigure left the house later to go see Hatori. He entered Hatori's office to see that Kazuma was there too.

"Oh, Shigure. What are you doing here?" Hatori said as he turned to look at him.

Shigure smiled. "I have some news..about Kyo."

Kazuma who had been sitting quietly in the corner, stood up at the mention of Kyo's name. "What is it Shigure? What happened to Kyo?" Kazuma said urgently.

Shigure grinned and sat down in a chair. "Well it seems that Tohru and Kyo are getting closer..really close." He explained to them what he had witnessed last night. The three adults sat in silence for a moment.

"As soon as I saw him smile at her, I knew they were meant for each other." Kazuma said quietly.

Tohru was happily making dinner when she heard a knock at the door. She was right in the middle of making some riceballs so she called for Kyo. "Kyo will you get the door please?"

Kyo grumbled, but got up from where he had been sitting watching Tohru. He opened the door to see that Uo and Hana were outside.

"Hello, orange-top, we're here to see Tohru, so let us in." Uo said a grin on her face.

Kyo scowled. These people may be Tohru's friends, but that didn't mean he had to like them. He stepped aside and both girls entered the house.

Tohru finished making the riceballs as soon as Uo and Hana walked into the kitchen.

"Uo! Hana! What are you guys doing here?"

Hana walked up to her friend. "I need to speak to privately." Tohru nodded.

Uo decided that she would have a little talk with Kyo. She walked through the house looking for him till she found him sitting and watching tv.

He looked up at her when she approached. "What do want, Yankee!?" He said, annoyed. Why wouldn't Tohru's friends just leave him alone?

Uo pulled him up by his collar so that he was standing. "I need to talk to you about Tohru." She said.

"Get your hands off me!" He said as he ripped himself out of her grasp.

Uo continued with confidence. "I know something happened between you and Tohru. I just want to warn you that if you do anything to hurt her, you'll be in big trouble."

Kyo scowled. "Why would I hurt her!?" The last thing in the world he wanted to do was hurt her. He loved her so much, he would do anything to make her happy. But he couldn't tell Uo that.

Tohru looked at her friend, wondering what it could be that she wanted.

Then Hana spoke. "Has something changed between you and Kyo? I sense something is different."

Tohru blushed. Was it really that obvious? "Kind of.." She mumbled, not knowing how she could explain or if she should.

Hana nodded. "Be careful Tohru. I should have told you this before, but I did not have the heart. There are many dark clouds hanging around his heart. I fear he can never truly love you while they exist. Please, Tohru. Be careful."

Uo came back into the room then, followed by an angry Kyo. Tohru instantly felt her heart beat faster at the sight of Kyo, but she tried to calm herself. She didn't want to worry her friends.

"I have an idea! Let's all eat together, the food is almost done."

Hana smiled. "That sounds like a great idea."
