"First Love"
Chapter Three: True Love
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I want to embrace him,
Kiss him,
Love him.
Live my life with him.
But... he is not the only one...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
While Kyo was still thinking over what Hatori had said, someone sneaked up behind him and...
"Ahhh!!!" Kyo screamed, throwing out his arms to keep himself from falling.
WHOEVER DID THIS, THEY'RE GONNA PAY FOR IT! Kyo thought to himself. As he turned around to see who had sneaked up behind him, he saw the figure move a few steps backward.
"S-sorry Kyou-kun! I am so sorry! I didn't mean to..." Tohru stammered. As she took another step backward, she tripped and fell.
Kyo tried to catch her but, instead, he fell down with her.
*Poof*
"Sor-sorry Kyou-kun! Are you ok? Are you ok?!" Tohru sat up and started checking Kyo for wounds, who was now lying on a pile of clothes... as a cat.
"I am really sorry if you got hurt Kyo-kun! I'm such burden sometimes..." Tohru smiled apologetically down at the orange cat, clasping her two hands in front of her chest.
"It's okay... you don't have to apologize," Kyo grumbled, already forgetting that a second ago he was going to kill whoever had disturbed him.
"Let's go back inside."
"Hai!" Tohru answered collecting Kyo's clothes. However, when she tried to stand up, red-hot pain seared up her left leg, causing her to fall back down and tears of pain to slide down her cheeks.
"Tohru! Your leg!" The orange cat looked at the large red scrape on her left leg anxiously.
Just as he had said that, another poof and now naked Kyo appeared right on the spot where his other form was a second before.
Tohru threw Kyo's clothes at him and turned her head, waiting for him to dress.
"Are you okay Tohru?" Kyo asked when he had finished. Tohru turned her head hestitantly to look at him.
"It's okay... No big deal! See?" She then attempted to stand up once but she nearly fell down again as the pain ran up and down her leg. "Ow!" she yelped, hanging her head.
Kyo bent down in front of her, helping her climb onto his back (somehow managing this without being hugged =P). "You wouldn't get to any where with that leg, let me carry you instead."
Tohru, seeing what Kyo was doing, she was rubicunditing (I checked my dictionary for that word...) (Editor: I don't even know what that means... O.o Word doesn't either... *sweat drop*).
Both of them blushed a deep red the whole trip to Tohru's room. Just the thought of what they were doing made them embarrassed. Besides, if Shigure saw them, what would he say?
Finally, Kyo placed Tohru on her bed with some medicine and bandages. They stared down at the medicine and bandages for a second then looked up at each other.
"Umm... Do you need me to put the medicine on for you or... Can you put it on yourself?" Kyo asked, the thought of touching her leg made his face redden even more.
"If... if you don't mind, but if you don't want to, I can do this myself." Tohru smiled up at Kyo innocently, blushing slightly in embarrassment.
"Okay then, I will put it on for you..." Kyo put the blended medicine on the bandages and wrapped it around Tohru's leg. It was only a few bandages with a great amount of medicine (well...Kyo
knows how to deal with this kind of thing right? Since he trained in the mountains for four months... HE HAD BETTER! Can't hurt Tohru, she's a MAIN character!), Kyo still could feel Tohru's sleek skin. He swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down, but nothing seemed to work...
Finally, after a long, long time of struggling with his emotions, Kyo finished wrapping the bandages around her leg and quickly removed his hands. As he avoided eye contact with Tohru, he pretended to be very interested in his surroundings, and looking around her room casually, there, he found the hat, lying up in its usual spot...
"Is that the hat your first love gave you...?" Kyo remembered the last time he had eavesdropped on her and her friends' conversation.
"Huh? Oh yeah... Yes, it is..." The memory of the hat's owner made her forget to ask how Kyo knew about it. "I always have this feeling that he's near me. It grew stronger when I started attending high school..." Tohru sighed. "...Strange, huh?" She looked thoughtfully over at the hat.
Kyo looked at her; she was smiling, not the usual warm smile she had always put on for everyone, but a different one, one filled with... love.
Kyo remembered what Hatori had told him. He knew who the girl was now, and how... he still felt about her. "That boy, he led you to your home when you cried under the shadow of loneliness."
Tohru stared at Kyo amazed, too surprised to say anything.
"He... he was there not because he saw you accidentally, but because he had been following you around for days, watching you... The hat that he had given to you was a present from his mother. He liked you... for so long..."
At first, Tohru thought that Kyo was just repeating what he had heard on that day when she told Uo and Hana (her two best friends) about this. But now, the details went even further; she had never known any of this.
"How... how do you know?" Tohru asked softly astounded.
"He... was me... I just remembered today... when Hatori told me..." Kyo said calmly. "I guess it's not that big of a deal, huh? You don't have to thank me for helping, or be scared that I still have feelings for you. I am just saying it so you don't waste your time trying guess who that person
was."
Kyo stood up. "I should go back to my room now."
Tohru was in a daze... Her first love? Kyo? When she finally realized that Kyo was already by the door, she called out his name softly.
Kyo looked back at her, a calm expression on his face (like the one Yuki always puts on!).
She saw Kyo look at her and for a second started to panic as she felt hot liquid running down her cheeks.
"Are... are you okay? Why are you crying?" Kyo asked as he walked over to her briskly and wiped the tears off her face.
"I... I'm fine... I'm just... happy." Tohru looked up at Kyo and gave him her best, prettiest smile as it to tell him not to worry.
Kyo stared at her for a second, looking into her innocent brown eyes. He started to lean forward, moving closer and closer. Tohru didn't know what he was doing, but she didn't do anything to stop him, at least... she didn't want to.
Then, their lips met. Automatically, Tohru closed her eyes, wanting to
enjoy this moment (Do not ask me why =P) (Editor: .... Eeeviiiil).
Kyo always wanted to kiss her soft lips and... now his dream really did come true, he wouldn't believe it. He COULDN'T believe it.
Their lips simply touched, nothing else, just touched. This was enough to drive Kyo crazy, however. Kissing the girl he loved the most... What do you think? Well, at least she's naive enough...
Then he suddenly realized that he might hurt her by doing this; he hadn't even considered the consequences when he had kissed her. In fact, he never DID consider the consequences of ANYthing. Now it was too late. He backed away as fast as he could, and ran out her room.
Tohru just sat on her bed, staring blankly after him. She still hadn't gotten over what had just happened to her. She didn't feel sad or anything about sharing her first kiss with Kyo, HER first kiss.
Touching her lips, where he just left a trail mark on, it tasted warm and sweet (Reminder: Kyo ate chocolate before he went up to the roof and talk to Hatori =D) ( Editor: ...he did? *thinks back* I don't remember...*whines*) (*whisper* u shouldn't said that out loud!), his taste.
While Tohru was still sitting on her bed staring, she didn't realize that someone was hiding behind her door, broken hearted...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
His heart ached deep within his chest; not physically, but mentally.
He still couldn't believe what just happened. He was all excited a moment ago when he got out of his room, holding a teddy bear in his right hand. It was a present for her to celebrate being in her company for so long, and as an encouragement for him to come out and tell her how he felt about
her.
Everything was ruined when he saw their lips touch. He saw everything. He thought that the end of the world is near, he thought that he would die, he thought that he is in hell, or maybe having a really bad dream. He just stood there, gawking at them, not angrily, but...in anguish. He waited
for Tohru to struggle against him and tell him to back off, but she didn't.
His chest started to ache and he decided to go back to his room. It was just a dream, he told himself repeatedly. It was just a dream, a bad dream, that is all...
Peering out into the hallway, he saw him running out of her room in embarrassment. He walked back out toward Tohru's room. Gazing inside, he saw her space out, just as he was now.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Shigure, reading the newspaper and enjoying his tea, looked out to see the cause of the beating.
"If you keep on pounding the roof like that, you're going to end up having to fix it!" Shigure shouted loudly so that "he" heard him. (Umm...how does Shigure know that "he" is on the roof? Maybe because someone is pounding on it?! Editor: T-T But who is "he?") (..."he"?)
The telephone then began ringing and Shigure shouted again. "How come can't ever have any peace in this house! My own house!!"
He picked up the phone.
"Sohma residence! What do you want?!" Shigure yelled into the mouthpiece of the phone. Then all of a sudden, he stopped, and dropped the phone in shock.
Tohru wiped away her tears and went down stairs to cook. As she stopped and looked at Shigure, she asked, "What's wrong Shigure-san?" She started getting worried.
"It... It was the Main House," Shigure said monotonously. "Akito-san...wants to see Yuki-kun."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Writer's Note: I luv the ending for this Chapter. Don't know whys but I just do. Got two ppls review and I am soo happy! ^-^ Anyway do you think Kyo should kiss Tohru? I was thinking about on the cheek though but I think the lip would get Yuki angrier. =P Anyway I luv this chapter. But later on
