Tohru walked home that afternoon with renewed enthusiasm. It had felt quite good to finally tell someone her feelings, and even though she wasn't prepared to tell him yet, she felt great to have someone on her side. As she entered the house she called out.
"I'm back!"
But as she entered the sitting room she noticed that it was empty except for Kyo. He looked up as she entered quite surprised herself.
"Uh Kyo" she said nervously.
"Hey" he replied equally as nervous.
"Where's Yuki and Shigure?" she asked.
"Um probably still at the main house."
"Oh okay. I was just going to get dinner started."
"Okay" he nodded.
"Got anything in mind" she said as she turned to go into the kitchen.
"Uh whatever is fine with me. Cod if you have any?"
"Uh yea. I have some left in the fridge I can make" she replied with a smile.
"Good" he nodded, "That sounds good" he scratched the back of his head and averted his eyes, "Call me when it is ready. I'm going to be up on the roof."
"Sure. Okay" then she walked into the kitchen, "What is the matter with me?" she thought as she pulled the cod out of the fridge, "I've never been that nervous around him before."
"What is my deal?" Kyo thought as he sat down, "I couldn't even look her in the eye. She must think I'm angry with her or something. Oh man" he placed his head onto his knees, "I really messed this up. Haru's wrong. There's no way in hell I can tell her now."
(Next Scene)
Yuki and Shigure arrived home just in time for dinner. As they ate Tohru talked with Yuki and Shigure about their day. However when it came to Tohru and Kyo having any contact, it was nonexistent. Yuki noticed it first thing, how nervous they were with each other. He remembered the conversation that Haru had with Kyo that afternoon. He remembered how he took off and also when she had fled Haru's house in the same manor. It had been on his mind all afternoon. So much that his visit with his mother was interrupted, when she thought he was behaving rudely for being in such a daze.
As dinner came to an end Tohru stood up to take the dishes into the kitchen. Kyo stood up as well and left the room, saying he had to get ready for school the next day. Shigure opened his paper with a smile and began to read it. Tohru came back in for the remainder of the plates.
"Miss Honda" Yuki replied.
"Mhm?" she nodded.
"I've been thinking. It's been awhile since we have been to the secret base. Would you like to accompany me there this evening?"
"Sure" she agreed with a smile, "Just let me take the rest of the dishes in the kitchen and I'll be right with you."
"Okay" he stood up and walked to the door.
A couple of seconds later they departed and started into the woods.
"I have to do this" Yuki thought to himself, "If I don't there is no way he ever will."
