Does anyone know how to make the italics work ? I just found out that they didn't appear in my last chapter.

I hope you'll enjoy my fic (and if you don't, please tell me how I can better this story through your reviews)
Summary: A/U. Tohru Honda and Yuki Soma have been friends since childhood. As they grew up, that friendship developed into something more. But will the arrival of Yuki's controversial cousin, Kyo, change the bond between the two sweethearts ? Is Tohru attracted to Kyo's fiery character ? '.why do I feel myself drawn to him ? Why does my heart start to beat faster in my chest and my breath become shorter when he's near ? It has never been like this with Yuki. With Yuki, it is a tenderness that I feel, a gentleness and warmth . Is it the sheer masculinity and power that Kyo radiates, which attracts me to him ?'
Thank you to all the wonderful people who reviewed my fic ! Love you all !!

"Tohru-chan ?"
"Hai, Yuki-kun?" Tohru turned her attention to the boy sitting beside her. They were both sitting on the front porch of Yuki's house, counting stars.
"Do you eve feel like you're alone in this world ?"
Tohru was puzzled by his question.
"Iie, Yuki-kun, but what does it feel like ?"
Yuki just continued to stare at the night sky, his eyes dark and brooding, so unlike the carefree gaze of a 14 year old. However, Tohru wasn't deterred by the gravity of Yuki's gaze, she knew him well, and she waited.
Finally, the silver-haired youth decided to answer her. "It's very cold, Tohru-chan, there's nothing but yourself and darkness, "He said softly," I'm all alone, there's no-one."
The young girl looked compassionately at her friend. She knew why he felt like this. His parents had just gotten divorced, and neither seemed to want the son they had created together.
"I'll always be there, Yuki-kun." Tohru said softly, as she took his hand in hers and tried to warm it like he had for her six years ago. She then gently leant in to embrace him, and he offered no resistance.
"Tohru-chan." Yuki whispered as he was drawn into her arms.
"Shhhh. I'll be there, Yuki, I'll never leave you." Tohru said as she stroked his hair. She felt something wet soak the cloth covering her shoulder, and she held Yuki tighter.
* * * They embraced on the porch of Yuki's house for a long time, Tohru trying to give comfort and strength, but at the same time mesmerized by the emotions which Yuki caused in her; Yuki lost in what Tohru offered. When they finally let go, they stared into eachother's eyes.
"Yuki." Tohru began, but he silenced her when he leant forward and brushed his lips against hers. He took her first kiss. It was innocent and pure and sweet.
Tohru's eyes were huge, as they stared at him. Her hand slowly went up to touch the lips that Yuki had just kissed.
"You kissed me." She said breathlessly.
"Hai, I did," Yuki's eyes hardened imperceptibly, as he gazed at her," And I intend to do so again."
His violet eyes now softened, as he looked at the slight fear in Tohru's eyes. They were almost sad.
"Aishiteru, Tohru-chan." He whispered.
If possible, Tohru's eyes widened further. Yuki took her lack of reactions as a rejection, and he made to leave. Suddenly a hand shot out and held him back.
"Gomen, Yuki-kun," Tohru cried ,as she started to stand, "I was just so shocked."
Yuki continued to regard her with sad, pain-filled eyes.
"Aishiteru, Tohru-chan." He whispered again.
"Yuki-kun.," Tohru looked deep into his eyes, captivated by the emotions which filled those normally cold orbs,".aishiteru."

Some readers might be impatient to get to the main part of the story, but I found it necessary to give some background information on Yuki and Tohru's relationship. The next chapter might include some occurrences from the past, but I promise that the chapter after that will start the main plot.
Furthermore, I've used some Japanese terms in my story, so here are the translations for it:
Hai- yes Iie- no san - used in a formal situation or with someone you do not know well kun -reference to a male or person you know well or intimately chan- reference to a female or person you know intimately aishiteru- I love you
Happy reading !
