Letter Five

A/N: 2/3 of my reviewers have asked me why it's Arisaa x Kyou. Well, here's my answer: Go to this link and you'll see why. I personally thought it would be Kyou. Actually, desperately hoping would be the right words… Sad I know, but for you Yuki fans, it'll be a relief to know who Tohru's savior is. It's sad for us Kyou fans, but we'll get over it because Kyou has Arisaa! Now to Letter Five!!

Kyou pulled the knife from Arisaa's hand and tossed it to the floor. He then snaked his arm around her torso, pulling her against him.

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't like you, Ari-chan…"

"Like isn't enough…I want you to love me… I know it's selfish but…"

"Shh… it's alright… I know what it's like not to be loved… Tohru chose her man, and I'm not it… She chose that damn pretty boy Yuki… I thought to myself every day that I would never love again… but I've just proven myself wrong… I love /you/. No one will ever love you like I do, Ari-chan…" Kyou slowly leaned his head down, kissing Arisaa's neck lightly. Something clicked in Kyou's head. He hadn't changed when he held her against him. What had happened? A distant memory came to him. One that had been locked away by Ha'ri-san.

"Only true love can break the curse… No one will ever love that cat… He'll scare them off if the bracelet breaks…"

"But if the curse is broken, wouldn't his true self also be taken away as well?"

"Perhaps… but it'll never happen… Kyou will never feel for anyone…"

Kyou closed his eyes for a moment. 'They were wrong… I did learn to love… I love this girl in my arms…'

"Kyou? Are you alright?" Arisaa's voice penetrated his thoughts. His eyes opened and he looked up from where his head had been.

"Yeah… I'm fine. Just… thinking…" Kyou smiled, and then kissed her neck once more. The girl shivered slightly in his arms, but soon relaxed.

This was heaven for Arisaa. She never wanted this to end as she melted into his grip, his light kisses slowly bringing her up from her depression.

"I want you…" Kyou's words brought her crashing down. What?!?
