chapter 3: truth
Yuki chased Tohru down the sidewalk for a couple of blocks before he finally gave up. Stupid, stupid, stupid!! Why did he try to push Tohru into something she clearly didn't want to do? Yuki was usually good at keeping his emotions in; how could this be any different? He decided to stop chasing Tohru, and walked the rest of the way home.
When he arrived at the house, he saw Shigure looking at his watch. "Hmm..." he murmured, "if I'm correct, my editor should have been waiting for me outside my office for about...half an hour, so I suppose I'll be going now."
Yuki shook his head. "The way you treat her, I'm surprised she hasn't quit already." Shigure shrugged. "I'm just doing my part in making her paycheck well worth it!" he said with a grin.
Yuki looked around. "Where's Honda-san?" he asked. Shigure pointed upstairs. "She went to her room. Seemed kinda upset to me." He then went past Yuki and stepped out the door, and shut it. Yuki leaned up against it. Surprisingly enough, he actually wished Kyou were still around, just to help things become less difficult. He debated with himself whether he should go to Tohru's room to talk to her, but eventually decided to go ahead with it.
"Honda-san?" he called out as he came up the stairs. He knocked on her door when he found it. "Honda-san?" No answer. He called her name again. "Honda- san? Can I come in?" Still nothing. Hesitantly, he opened the door, and came in. He found Tohru rolled up in her bed, clutching to her legs. He sat on her bed.
"Listen, I'm sorry about before," he said. "I'm not proud of myself, Honda- san." He reached over to her, then decided against it, and pulled back.
"Don't let it bother you so much, Sohma-kun," Tohru muttered finally. She looked up. Yuki could see that she had been crying, as her eyes were red. "I'm just...scared, that's all."
"About what?"
Tohru hesitated before answering. "About myself...about you. I'm scared that something will happen between us that I don't want to happen. But..." She released her grip on her legs, and scooted up closer to him. "I don't want to lie to myself, either."
"Then don't," Yuki replied.
Tohru leaned her head against his shoulder. "I have a confession to make," she said. "I've always tried to think of you as just a friend, but...I...I've recently come to find that I may think of you as something else." Tears began to form in her eyes again. "I'm ashamed of myself, Sohma-kun." She then started to cry.
At first, Yuki didn't know what to say. He leaned over, kissed her forehead, and said, "I hate to see my princess cry. She should be smiling instead."
Tohru jerked her head up. "Sohma...kun..." she breathed. Yuki smiled, then brought his face up to hers.
At first, Tohru's nails were dug into her legs, unable to move. Whether a minute or an hour passed, Tohru couldn't remember. It was all like a dream; a fairy tale with an actual prince. Yuki's mouth moved down to her neck, and she moaned. Her whole body tingled, and she felt hot. She put her hand on his head. She wanted more than anything to be able to wrap her arms around him, but she was afraid to even touch him more, in fear that it would trigger his transformation.
Yuki soon pulled away from her. "How's that?" he asked. Tohru smiled nervously. "That was...just fine!" she said. She blushed. "Oh, Sohma-kun!" she cried as she threw herself into his arms. Yuki couldn't even get out, "D-don't, Hon--!" before...
POOF!
Tohru lost her balance, and fell over, right on Yuki's clothes.
"Uh..." she moaned. Realizing he wasn't there anymore, she jerked her head around. "Sohma-kun? Sohma-kun??" She then felt something move underneath her. "Sohma-kun!!" she cried, jumping up to her feet.
"Ow..." Yuki muttered as he came out from his shirt.
Tohru sighed as she picked up the little rat. "What a way to kill the moment, huh?" she said. Yuki scratched the back of his ears, and said (well—I guess it's more like he squeaked), "I guess. Just watch where you land the next time you hug me, ok? You almost squashed me." Tohru laughed in spite of herself. "Yeah, sorry about that, Sohma-kun," she said, setting him down.
Yuki looked up at her. "I have to be honest with you, Honda-san," he said. "I don't regret kissing you. I really meant it."
Tohru smiled. "I know. I did, too; otherwise I would have turned away."
Yuki scurried up her leg. "I..." He hesitated. "I'm in love with you. I never wanted to tell you before because I never wanted to see myself as that kind of person, and I didn't know what you would say. I'd never want to make you feel obligated to do something you didn't want to. But now...it just feels right." With that, he jumped on Tohru's face, and clenched onto it.
"Ow!" Tohru exclaimed. "What are you—"
"I'm trying to hug you, okay?" he interrupted. "This is the best I can do." "Uh, okay," Tohru said tentatively. "I guess—"
POOF!
Tohru didn't even get out her whole sentence before Yuki transformed into a boy. The sudden weight gain on top of her made her fall of the bed. Yuki was now on top of her, naked.
"KYAAA!! GEDDOFFA ME!!" Tohru shrieked. Yuki immediately scrambled off. "S- sorry!" he said, grabbing his pants. "I-it's ok!" Tohru said, facing the other direction and covering her eyes.
When his pants were buttoned on, he said, "There." He then reached over to his shirt, but Tohru had grabbed it first. "Can I?" she asked. She brought the shirt around him and put his arms through the sleeves. She gazed at his chest, and ran her hand up it. A shiver ran down Yuki's spine. "Honda-san," he began, but Tohru kissed him before he could say anything more. "I'm in love with you, too," she said. "I'm in love with you, Sohma Yuki. Rat or boy, it's all the same to me." - - - - - Hehe...just so you guys know, this is the closest Yuki and Tohru will have to having sex with each other. I'd imagine that would be a very difficult task for the poor Sohma family, anyways...What the crap am I talking about?? Oo;;
