A/N: We get a positive identification on the secret admirer in this chapter. Things of an interesting nature go on too. I hope the fact that this chapter is early makes up for last time. Unfortunately this is a little short but it's jam-packed with excitement, and explanations. I love you all, please review. In the next chapter I will end the story, thank you all and put an extra special something in at the end but I don't know quite what yet. (edited on 8/7/05)
By the time the picnic was set up everyone was back to normal. Hatori had brought a book and was read at one end of the table, every once in a while picking off a plate of food Toru had placed in front of him.
Momiji and Kisa were playing I-spy as they ate, Toru tried to join them but wasn't any good at it so she ate her food silently, every once in a while glancing around the table to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves, everyone seemed happy, except Kyou.
Kyou was sitting at the end of the table across from Hatori. He was angrily biting the heads off his octopus dogs. Hatori looked up from his book. "So Kyou, how's your job going."
Kyou's eyes widened and a blush spread across his cheeks, then he ran off into the woods. This behavior caused Hatori to look to Shigure in bewilderment. "Kyou got fired this morning."
"Kyou had a job?" Toru was confused. (That explains where he's been going lately, but why didn't he want to tell me)
"I'm surprised you didn't know Toru it was in papa's building, where you work." Momiji said.
"It was?" Her eyes widened, as she recalled the note she had received at work, and the last one in her locker, and how hurt Kyou had been when she had agreed to a date with Yuki.
"He worked room service, I surprised you never bumped into him." Shigure said.
(Where did Kyou go?) Toru got up and started to walk. (He went this way, didn't he?) She walked into the woods.
Yuki got up to follow her but Haru grabbed his arm. "Let her go, she needs to talk to him alone for a little while."
Yuki sat back down, he knew if he was going to lose her he was already too late to stop it now. And she would never love him completely if she didn't play things through with Kyou.
Toru walked for about an hour, and found herself on the other side of the lake. She saw Kyou laying, his head resting on a rock. His eyes were closed as if he'd fallen asleep. She started walking towards him. She was about to say his name, when she noticed a tear streak down his face. She dropped to her knees next to him. She brushed the tear away. Kyou's eyes opened in time to see her face leaning towards him, is eyes widened as her lips landed on his. Toru pulled up from the kiss. "I wanted it to be you so badly"
Kyou sighed. "Why would you have ever wanted that? I have a bad attitude, I swear, I skip school, and I can't keep a lousy lob." He said as if quoting a list.
She kissed him again. "That's just who you are to everyone else. To me you're a friend, you're passionate, you set your own standards, you're the one who wrote the letters, you're the one I fell in love with."
This time Kyou kissed her. He grabbed her face into his hands, and they kissed forever. At least that's how it seemed to Yuki, who had gone out to look for Toru when she didn't return after fifteen minutes. His eyes flooded, he knew it would happen one day, but having to see it, was the worst thing he'd ever experienced. He ran back into the woods.
"Did you hear something?" Toru asked breathlessly.
"No."
"We should get back to the group now." She blushed.
He looked out at the setting sun, and grabbed her hand. "Yeah, it's getting late."
A/N: Awe Kawaii! Aren't they cute, isn't Yuki crushed beyond reason, didn't I make up for all the pain I put Kyou through? PLEASE review!
