A slender hand was placing the last pieces of clothing into a shopping bag. Tohru had finished packing all of her things away. She picked up the bad and placed it beside all the others that had been placed by her bedroom door. She turned to give a quick glance of the now vacant room.

The door opened softly and caused Tohru to slightly jerk in surprise. It was Yuki who was in the doorway. His shadow spread slightly underhim.

"Almost ready Honda-san?" He asked in a bare audible whisper. Yuki did not look at her as he said it.

"I am Yuki-kun." Tohru replied as she gathered some of her bags. Cold hands touched hers, Tohru looked to see Yuki removing them from her hand. "I'll get these Honda-san. Shigure wishes to speak with you downstairs."

She nodded to him, Tohru looked at his face and gave a quick kiss to his cheek. She smiled at the stunned Yuki. "Thank you Yuki-kun." She turned around and left a blushing yet dazed Yuki behind.

Shigure was sitting in his study playing with a pen on his nose. Some of his manuscripts were spread over the place. He had just gotten off the phone tormenting his poor editor. The door behing him slowly slid open. Tohru's soft voice drew the inu's attention to her. "Shigure-san, you would like to talk to me?". Shigure nodded, gesturing for her to take a seat. "Tohru-chan! Are you all packed? You should check your panties, to make sure Kyou-kun and Yuki-kun didn't take any!" the dog teased, breaking the serious moment.

"I HEARD THAT YOU HENTAI DOG!" Kyou yelled from outside before storming off, grumbling.

"Oh how my meals will be lacking! Kyou-kun is the only one able to cook them, he'll probably poison us all. The days of Tohru's wonderous meals are gone!" Shigure said with a rather dissapointed look on his face.

Tohru was about to say something, then a large sigh came from Shigure. "Well you better go calm down that pissy neko Tohru-kun. All we need is to have him like this all day, my house can only stand so much of Kyou's tempermants."

Tohru gave a nod to him and started to leave the room."Oh! Tohru-kun, Haru will be with you on the way to the main house. He will discuss something with you before you leave."

"Hai Shigure-san. Thank-you." She turned and headed down the hall. She took quick glances into the rooms of Kyou's usual hang outs. She then knew he was probably on the roof all by himself.

Tohru climbed up the stairs and headed towards the roof. She stared at the cat, smiling softly as his beautiful orange hair was being teased by the cool winds. "Kyou-kun?" Tohru said, stepping on the roof and taking a place next to Kyou.

He turned to look at her. He was fully stretched out with his head resting on his arms. Kyou's maroon eyes looked at her, sunlight gave them more life than she had ever seen. his face certainly did not show any anger or resentment in that moment.

Kyou looked towards the sky not saying anything to Tohru. Flushing slightly, he sat up, looking straight across "Don't listen to that hentai dog" he mumbled, still pissy at his older cousin.

"A-ano! I didn't think Kyou-kun or Yuki-kun had any of my stuff...would Kyou-kun like some of my stuff...?" Tohru asked, smiling softly at him. Kyou blinked and looked at her, shaking his head slightly. "It's not what you own that I would take."

Bright flushes of red spread across Tohru's extremely surprised face. "Kyou-k...Kyou-kun, I'm not prepared to-" Tohru said as she was fidgeting with her hands and looking down from Kyou's face.

Kyou starred at her with a slight look of confusion. When it hit him what he had said, his own face was flushed as brightly as hers. "Tohru-san! That's..that's not what I meant!" Kyou put his hand to his face with embarassment. He shook his head slightly.

"I wanted to say...how it was not what you own that I wanted but-" He paused. Kyou was having a hard time putting what he felt into words. "but what you are, that I would take." He had finally pushed himself to say.

Tohru was taken aback, from her utter embarassment on her assumption on what Kyou said. To what he really meant. Her mouth was open slightly, then her face errupted into pure emotion. When Kyou gathered enough of himself to look at her, he was greeted with the gracious smile of someone in love.

Time was in a standstill as the two looked at one another. A slight breeze shifted the trees about them. It ruffled their hair and brought leaves passing by. The bright sunlight made the moment seem like a piece of Nirvana.

A cold shock of reality shot through Tohru. These moments were to be no more. Her smile faded with the emergence of what awaited her soon. Kyou notice the sudden look of despair upon Tohru's face. A sudden touch to her shoulder brought her from that coldness. Kyou had placed both of his hands upon her shoulders. She felt cool to the touch, even though it was a hot day.

She looked up to see Kyou looking at her. "Are you alright?" he asked. He had a slight frown to his face. "I'm fine now Kyou-kun." Tohru said. Kyou wrapped his arms around her, carefull about not transforming. Tohru shifted more to his side and cuddled her face into his neck. Kyou jerked a little at her movement, but did nothing to stop her.
