This may seem like a filler chapter to some people but I thought it was important for these things tto be included since certain elements are important to how a relationship will turn out. Don't you agree?
BEEP BEEP BEEP. Tohru slowly and drowsily opened her eyes to an unfamiliar setting. Confused, she pulled the fuzzy, warm blanket further up over her, letting it snuggle against her face. She breathed heavily a few times trying to get back to sleep but opened her eyes in realization of the smell of the blanket. To confirm her suspicions, she carefully rolled over to see a sleeping Kyo facing her on his side with his fist up to his face as if he had just stopped sucking his thumb.
She watched him for a while with a peaceful smile across her face. It wasn't long before the neko opened his eyes as well from the sound of the annoying alarm clock. When he did so, he saw the girl lying beside him and jumped.
A slight blush spread across his face and he looked down at the old blanket. "Sorry, I knew I couldn't wake you and...." "Don't be Kyo-kun, I like it," Tohru giggled silently, "I feel safe." Hearing that, the blush deepened slightly and the boy leaned over, kissed her forehead, and rolled out of bed.
Kyo turned around and grabbed a pair of pants out of the floor and quickly put them on. He turned back around to see Tohru standing on the other side of the bed without any pants on herself. "Oh my God, what happened to your pants?!" Kyo nearly yelled as he slung himself back around to face the door once again. "I took them off to sleep last night because it was so hot, but that was before you got back from....where's Sohma-kun?!" Tohru asked frantically, changing the subject suddenly.
"Oh...him..." Kyo stuttered out, "....He...was just walking around the woods....I found him though..." Tohru was silent for a moment but chirped out an "Ok! Is...he mad at me..?" Jealous of the question, Kyo got the nerve up to look back at her, "Why does it matter? That damn rat deserves to be...." His thought trailed off at the memory of what had happened the night before and the terror he had felt. "No, I don't think he is..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Breakfast is ready Kyo-kun!" Tohru yelled out the door. Kyo walked in from his morning practice and sat down at the table alone. "I'll go get Sohma-kun. You go ahead and start eating if you like..." the girl said and walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs.
Tohru crept across the dark room to the mouse's bed and looked down at him once before she was to wake him up, but gasped. She quickly ran to the window and opened the curtains for better light and looked back over at the boy. "Sohma-kun, what are those marks on your neck?!" Tohru inquired in an extremely worried tone.
Barely aware that life even existed, Yuki opened his eyes and tried to gain his bearings before noticing who was standing over him. When everything finally reached his mind and he realized what the question was, he quickly covered his neck with his hand.
"I can explain..." he tried to begin but he couldn't think of anything to use for an excuse. Before he could think of anything, Tohru's face lit up with comprehension. "Did Kyo do this? He told me you were only walking around..." She disappeared down the stairs, obviously heading back to the kitchen for some major explaining. 'Wow, she gives him waaay too much credit...' Yuki thought and climbed out of bed.
Tears coming to her eyes and hands clasped together, Tohru stood at the door looking at the unsuspecting neko. "Kyo-kun....why did you hurt Sohma-kun?" Kyo whipped his head around to look at the onigiri with a puzzled look on his face. "I didn't do anything to him!" Tohru's face hardened slightly, "Then how did he get the bruise on his neck? It looks like..."
"Kyo didn't do it Miss Honda. It was me..." Yuki said, appearing behind her. Now it was Tohru's turn to have the puzzled look and Kyo's turned victorious. "I was a little crazy last night...and I did some things I shouldn't have....I'm sorry Miss Honda.....and I'm sorry for asking you to brake up with Kyo..." The neko's expression changed once again, "What?!"
Ignoring the growing intensity of rage on Kyo's face, Yuki looked at Tohru with wide, apologetic eyes. "Will you be my friend no matter what?" Eyes now streaming with tears, Tohru grabbed his hand with both of hers. "Of course Sohma-kun. You are one of my best friends in the whole world and I really care about you...please never hurt yourself again! If you do I don't know what I'll do!" A smile lit up on both of their faces, but the poetic moment was disturbed by Kyo's fake choking.
"Good Morning all! What's for....Good heavens Yuki! You need a bath!" Shigure gasped, looking at the boy's neck and thinking it was a ring of dirt, "Has it been a week for you?! That's disgusting!" Yuki and Tohru both sweat-dropped and Kyo rolled his eyes.
Before Shigure could say something stupider, Yuki took the quick moment to speak, "I'm sorry Miss Honda but there is an early student council meeting being held this morning to replace Amy-san. I must be there early so I will not be able to walk with you..." Tohru gave him a quick but sweet smile to let him know it was ok and the mouse left for school without breakfast.
It wasn't long after that Kyo and Tohru were off to school as well, leaving Shigure home with his paper. For the last two days everything had been like it had always been, but being the first day they were actually aloud to be together, neither of the two knew what to do, so they walked on silently, tensions in both of them mounting.
It was when they had nearly reached the school that the neko finally got enough nerve up to reach for Tohru's hand and take it. Startled at first, Tohru just looked down at their joined hands but quickly grew a deep blush.
They continued on into the school and separated when they had to go to their lockers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yo Tohru, what's up with you and orangey? Some people heard rumors about you all..." Uo inquired when she saw Tohru at her locker. "You all are in a relationship..." Hana whispered from behind them. With the news, Uo's expression turned to shear horror. "Tohru, is that true?!"
Tohru's hair could have stood on end and the back of her neck prickled a little as a sweat-drop formed over her brow. "Uhh...yes. Me and Kyo-kun...are together..." she squeaked out from fear of her friend's reaction.
"Tohru, you are our dearest friend, and we would have strongly disapproved of this only months ago...but his waves, and Yuki-kun's for that matter, have changed and I do not feel the negative energy they used to give off anymore. Therefore, I will allow it...but if he does anything ungentlemanly I will zap him for you ok?" Hana finished with a wink. "Ya, I'll put my pipe to work!" Uo yelled with near excitement, although her mouth was muffled by her mask.
Tears filling her eyes, Tohru opened her arms to her friends for a group hug. "Aw, you guys!" They all squeezed each other generously and continued on with their morning activities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, Kyon-Kyon!" a boy yelled from down the hall. Kyo whipped around to look at the person who would surely die and saw that the boy had caught up with him already. "I heard you are with that Tohru girl...is it true?"
A vein popped out of the neko's head. "Don't call me Kyon-Kyon! She isn't just 'that Tohru girl' and how do you people find things out so fast? It freaks me out..." The boy put his fist on Kyo's head and smiled, "It's just the system my man. So it is true...ok thanks!" and with that the boy ran off to a group of friends. 'What's the big deal? People hook up all the time in high school' Kyo wondered but shrugged it off and continued walking to his class until a familiar voice caught his attention along with an unfamiliar one.
"I'm sorry...I didn't know you liked him..." "Yea well you do now don't you? I guess I'll just have to make you pay a little respect..." Kyo paced around to look down another hall and saw Tohru standing at a wall with a girl in front of her looking as if ready to attack. "What the hell are you doing bitch?!" the neko yelled and ran towards the two girls. Surprised by the unexpected visit, the unknown girl automatically put on a cute, happy face. "Why, good morning Kyo-san, how nice to see you!" Tohru didn't say anything but smiled in attempts to hide what had just happened.
"Cut the crap and get out of here..." Kyo growled and the girl took off down the hall teary eyed. As soon as he knew she was gone he took a second glance at Tohru. "You ok? Why the hell do you let them push you around like that? Fight back!"
Tohru gave him a meek look that showed why she didn't. "Ok...well then just stick around me...I'll keep you safe..." he sighed and they both went to class together.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yuki-san, I heard your cousin has a girlfriend...Tohru Honda? Doesn't she walk with you to school a lot though?" one of the girls asked him. "Yes senpai, that is true. Miss Honda and I are friends though." Yuki replied coolly after the meeting was finally over.
'I don't think I will ever stop loving her though...at least we are friends, but will it always be this way...?' he thought and got up to go to his first class as well.
Do you think I should write more or do you think I should end it before it the plot totally disappears? Review and tell me what you think! Also tell me if there is anything you would like me to include in the story...I'm always open to suggestions!
