Due to much confusion and the fact that the last chapter sucked, I
redid it. I hope this is a little better since I'm not on a writers
block doing it! ;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also I've never stated the fact that I own no characters I am writing about and thought I better make that point clear just for in case...
Please tell me which chapter you liked better if you read the other.
After standing at the door and debating with himself whether to actually do it or not, Yuki stepped into Kyo's room. He sighed heavily when his idiot cousin was not in there, but only a ladder on his balcony heading toward the roof was in sight.
Yuki made his way up to the roof and found the depressed looking neko sitting with his back to the ladder. Yuki saw no point in beating around the bush. "Oi, baka! Why are you so stupid?" Kyo whipped his head around angrily with a hind of surprise. "Leave me alone damn rat!"
"Is that all you have to say? Why don't you grow half a brain and get a hint? You hurt Tohru! Oh, but I guess you are good at that though huh?" Kyo jumped up, equipped with neko ears and tail. "Look here you son of a bitch, this is none of your damn business!"
Hearing this Yuki turned around to leave. He wasn't going to stress himself out for Kyo. He started back down the ladder. "You know, since you don't have enough balls to do anything maybe I'll just comfort her myself, thanks for giving me this opportunity." The mazumi disappeared from sight of the roof.
Tohru was hanging out the laundry in the back yard and whistling a song her mother had taught her to try and keep cheerful. It was a beautiful day but everyone seemed to be in dreary moods. There had to be a way she could cheer everyone up. She set her mind to try to devise a plan as she finished the last of the sheets.
"Hey, ya need help?" A bright smile spread across her face at the sound of the deep uncertain voice. "No, it's ok, I don't want to burden you Kyo- kun!" He started to turn and walk away, sure to himself that she was so mad she didn't even want to see him. "Wait! I could use some company though..."
Slowly and almost shakily, he turned back around and placed himself in the grass beside her basket, looking at the white fabric seemingly spellbound. "Sorry I'm such an asshole..." Tohru glanced over at the self-conscious young man and gave him a clothe pin full smile.
"Bu Ko-kung, I don thin tha a all!" Kyo gave her a puzzled looked. "What the hell did you just say??" Tohru smiled again and spit out the clothe pins. "Kyo-kun I don't think that at all!" The neko looked back down into the now empty basket and shrugged. "I would..."
Tohru decided to try and change the subject. "So, do you have any plans for today?" "No....you?" "I have to go to the super market and pick up some things for dinner tonight. Would you like to come?" She smiled at him vibrantly.
This took Kyo by surprise. "Wha? I thought Yuki would have volunteered already..." "Nope. I haven't seen him since breakfast, oh but if you don't want to I'll be ok on my own! I don't want to hassle you!" Irritation took over Kyo's being. "Do you want me to come or not?!" Slightly startled, Tohru fell back a little but regained balance and nodded her head enthusiastically.
"Shigure-san, Kyo-kun and I are going to the super market! Is there anything special you might want me to pick up?" Tohru was standing near the door and calling through the hall toward the office. Shigure popped his head just out of the door. "Awww, is little Kyon Kyon taking the flower on a date? Don't do anything too lecherous!" Kyo got up from tying his shoes and was about to cuss his older cousin out until he saw the radiant smile on Tohru's face and settled with a plain old "Shut Up!" He then turned toward her and blushed faintly. "Why do you put up with that bull?"
Just as they were stepping out the door Yuki walked down the stairs. "Miss Honda....I have a request." She ambled up to him and he whispered his request. "No problem! I'll remember that from now on!" They left, leaving a smiling Yuki.
If curiosity killed the cat, Kyo only had one life left. "So what was it?" The onigiri grinned and put her finger up to his mouth. "It's a secret Kyo- kun!" Irritation growing in him rapidly, he quickened his pace and walked a ways ahead of her.
There wasn't much conversation other then Kyo yelling at Tohru whenever she ran into a sign when she was too deep in thought. 'How does she get to work without killing herself?!' he pondered, quite stumped. Grudgingly, he began considering walking her to work from now on.
He was quite surprised when Tohru handled the market very well. She knew where everything was and the best prices. He almost felt useless. Well, if nothing else, he would carry her bags on the way home. What did the damn rat want though?
Everything went by smoothly and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. They paid and were out the door in no time. Why did he even come? Just then Tohru stepped out into the street. "Tohru!" The girl looked at him puzzled and unmoving.
A car was headed straight for her. The driver slammed on his brakes but there were only feet between the huge machine and the fragile body. Kyo ran out into the road and grabbed Tohru's arm, pulling her out of the way just before impact.
Once safely back on the sidewalk, Kyo exploded. "What the hell are you thinking?! You could have died! You're so stupid!" Tohru stood there, looking at the sidewalk. "I'm sorry Kyo-kun...." He reached up and grabbed both of her hands. "Just...be careful ok?"
He released one of her hands and grabbed the groceries lying splattered on the sidewalk and then began home, keeping a tight grip of Tohru's hand the whole way until a tiny voice caught his attention. "Kyo-kun...that hurts..." He looked down to see the circulation was totally cut off. "Oh, well if you didn't scare me I wouldn't do it!"
Tohru smiled one of her smiles in appreciation. "Thank you for worrying about me..." Trying to hide the blush that was deepening on his face, Kyo scowled. He was very glad when they reached the house with no further problems.
As he was grabbing the door to slide it open, the neko was stopped by a small hand on his shoulder. "Kyo-kun....I just wanted you to know....I don't pity you...." Filled with new humiliation, he turned to see the beautiful girl. She looked like she genuinely meant it.
He looked at her at her delicate face, wanting to just burst out with all the feeling he had for her but stopped himself. "Well...still friends then I guess...." He turned and went inside the house leaving her speechless on the front porch.
It wasn't long before he found himself safe in the reclusive ness of the roof once again. How stupid was he? He just hurt her again...or so it seemed...but why? Girls are so annoying! How did she feel? Just last night she was bawling in his lap about his hated rival.
Tohru finished putting the groceries away and walked up the stairs and down the hall to Yuki's room. Seeing the door already open, she let herself, knocking to let him know she was there. "Here is your cheese Sohma-kun!" He looked up from studying and smiled sincerely. "Thank you so much Miss Honda. If Kyo knew about this I would never live it down!" Tohru smiled too. She never knew he really did like cheese so much. Yuki got up from his desk and took the bag from her, setting it on his bed.
"So how was Kyo?" Touching on this subject made Tohru shiver a little and look at the floor, but she quickly looked back up with an odd expression on her face. "He isn't mad at me anymore! He said we are still friends!"
Yuki could see through the wide, pretty smile on her face. He knew she was hurt. "That's nice. I hope I helped if only a little. You deserve the best you know..." After hearing these words Tohru looked back down at the floor. "You are so kind Sohma-kun..."
She exited the room and left Yuki with his cheese. Any other time he would have quickly hidden it away and gotten a piece for the moment but for once, he didn't feel like it. He had a choice, either try to win Tohru in her moment of weakness or get Tohru with Kyo, who was the one she wanted...
