Chapter one: Kyo's in love
XXX
When Tohru, Kyo and Yuki got back from the hotspring, they were happy to be home. Haru and Shigure were eating onigiri.
'Hi Haru! Hi Shigure!' Tohru called out with a huge smile on her face.
'Ahh... Hello Tohru! How was the hotspring?' Shigure asked. 'It was great! And look what Yuki gave me as a white day present!' She exclaimed, holding up the yellow ribbon to show everyone.
Yuki blushed and murmured something that sounded like, 'It was nothing.' Shigure looked at Yuki thoughtfully for a minute.
Then he stood up and said, 'I need to go work on my book. Don't break the house children!' and walked away.
They all sat in silence for a few minutes, before Tohru looked around, jumped up, and exclaimed, 'Oh my! The house is so dirty!' and set about cleaning. Haru, Yuki and Kyo just looked at her in disbelief. Kyo shook his head, stood up and scowled.
He then walked off. Haru leaned in and whispered to Yuki, 'Is she always like this?' and Yuki nodded.
'She just got back, and already she's thinking of others again.' he said with a small smile on his face. Haru sighed, stood up, and went outside.
'Miss Honda?' Yuki called out. She stopped cleaning and looked at him, her large blue eyes shining.
"Yes Yuki?" she asked.
"I'm going out for a walk now. I'll be back soon alright?" he said.
"Oh yes. That's fine Yuki. Dinner should be ready when you get back." Tohru said, the smile still on her face. Yuki managed a small smile back at her, but when he walked out he sighed, the smile gone.

Tohru found Kyo on the roof after she was done cleaning.
"Hi Kyo." She said timidly. Kyo looked up at her, and smiled. His red eyes betrayed that he was happy to see her.
"What do you want?" he asked gruffly.
"Just to see how you were." Tohru answered honestly. Kyo was struck once again about how much she cared about everyone else. She was so kind, and asked nothing in return. You wouldn't think upon first meeting her that she had been through as many horrible things in her life as she had been. Kyo reached out and took her hand. She looked up, surprise showing in her huge, innocent eyes, but it only lasted a second. She moved closer to him, and laid down on the roof. Kyo lay down next to her, still holding her hand.

Tohru sat up suddenly, and exclaimed, "Dinner!" and ran down the stairs. Kyo sat up, stretched, and ambled downstairs into the kitchen.
"Is it ruined?" he asked.
"No. I got here just in time. If it had been 5 minutes more it would've been ruined." Tohru said.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have kept you on the roof." Kyo said.
Tohru looked horrified and said hurriedly, "Oh NO! It's not your fault Kyo! You didn't keep me there! I stayed of my own free will! If anything it's my fault!" Kyo just looked at her with disbelief written all over his face. "Of course it's not your fault Tohru!" he said. Tohru looked at him, her eyes filling with tears.
"But. I guess whatever you say." he finished as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Please don't cry." He pleaded. She reached up and rubbed her eyes furiously.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me." Kyo gave her a wry grin.
"Don't be sorry. I just don't like to see you in pain." He said. Tohru smiled at him.
"That's so kind of you" she said, "but really, don't worry about me." The smile returned to her face. Kyo smiled back, and put a piece of hair that was in front of her face behind her ear.
"Just don't cry Princess." He said. Then he walked away, leaving Tohru staring after. She turned around and finished preparing dinner.

Yuki backed away from the doorway. `So Kyo is after Tohru too.' He thought to himself `but he's not going to win this one.' He left the room and went upstairs to bathe and change for dinner.

Tohru sat down, and looked at the table. She had just finished setting it. She had lit white candles, and set them around the table.
"Dinners ready everyone!" she called. Shigure was the first one sitting down.
"Oh beautiful Tohru, you're really to kind to us poor unfortunate souls." Tohru blushed at this comment. Yuki walked in next, hair still damp from his bath. They had to wait about 5 minutes before Kyo showed up.
"Sorry I'm late." he murmured under his breath.
"It's ok Kyo! Let's eat" Tohru said happily, piling some rice in her bowl. Kyo scowled, and took some rice and salmon. They ate in silence for the rest of the meal.
Tohru stood up to start to clean the table, but Kyo cleared his throat and said, "I'll do that later Tohru. Come for a walk with me?" he said. Tohru nodded, and put the plate she was holding back down. She walked outside with Kyo. When they were out of view of the house he took her hand. Tohru sighed.
"What's wrong?" Kyo asked.
"Nothing. I was just thinking about how kind you've been to me." Tohru said. Kyo stopped, and turned to face her.
"Don't think that you need to repay us Princess. We want you to be yourself and be happy." He told her softly. "Don't ever think that you're on your own, because we all love you now." Tohru looked up at him, her bright blue eyes brimming with tears.
"Oh Kyo. Thank you so much!" she said. Kyo wiped away the tear that ran down her cheek. Then he bent his head down, and kissed her. Tohru felt electricity run through her body. They broke apart, and Kyo was breathing heavily.
"I love you." He said.

Yuki turned away, feeling a tear slide down his cheek. He felt like his heart had just been shattered into a million pieces. He wandered through the forest for countless hours. Eventually, he found himself at the edge of a cliff, a river below him, about 15 feet or so. He looked down at his fate. wishing everyone a silent goodbye. Then he jumped.
