A love unspoken

Disclaimer: I own no aspect of Furuba, but I wish Kyou was mine!^_^

Hi, you guys. Thanks for all the reviews. Your comments were very helpful. Here's the third chapter. Trying to put out one more chappie before dreaded school. Enjoy!^_^

Ch.3: Changes

It was finally morning, and Tohru was still asleep in Kyou's room. Suddenly she woke up. *Huh? Oh no! I fell asleep. I was trying to wait up for Kyou-kun.* She sat up, and saw the blanket that was wrapped so carefully around her. *Shigure-san must have wrapped this blanket around me. Kyou-kun probably didn't come home! I've got to tell Shigure-san.* She opened the door, and ran downstairs. "Shigure-san, Kyou didn't come home last night! I....." She stopped speaking when she reached the living room. Kyou, Shigure and Yuki were sitting at the kotatsu table eating rice, giving her puzzled looks. Tears formed in her eyes. "Ah! Kyou-kun, you're back! I was so worried......."

She ran to hug him, totally forgetting about the curse and tripping on the table, spilling rice everywhere. She landed on Kyou, which resulted in him transforming. He was just glad he got a chance to hold Tohru again.

*Poof!*

"Oh! Gomen nasai! I made such a mess." Tohru pushed her rice-filled hair out of her face, and got off of Kyou who was now a small orange cat. She gingerly picked him up, and hugged him close to her chest. "Kyou-kun, I'm so happy you're back. I thought something had happened to you." She sniffed and a few tears dripped onto his fur. Kyou guiltily looked up at Tohru's tear stained face. She smiled and nuzzled her cheek against Kyou's and hugged him tighter to her. Kyou then realized how close he was to a certain part of the female anatomy, and Shigure swore that was the first time he had seen a cat blush.

"Kyou-kun seems to be verrryyy comfortable in his current position. No fair Kyou-kun! Hogging Tohru all the time! Let others have a turn," Shigure whined. Yuki gave Shigure a look of disgust, and promptly stood. He took Kyou from Tohru's arms, and threw him outside into some bushes.

"Hey!" they heard Kyou yell from outside. Yuki rolled his eyes and helped Tohru to stand. "Go get ready for school Honda-san. We'll clean up the mess." Shigure was busy picking rice out of his hair and his yukata, while Yuki was void of any rice being on him. He gave Tohru one of his extra rare smiles, and her face turned red. *Yuki-kun really is perfect. He is very much like a prince!* She smiled at Yuki, and went upstairs to change into her uniform. ***********************************************

Yuki, Tohru, and Kyou had arrived at school, and Kyou was still mad about Yuki throwing him into those bushes. "Hey Orange Top," Uo called when they came into the classroom.

"Shut up you Yankee!"

Hanajima stood and her denpa waves crackled around her head. "Good morning," she said solemnly. Yuki and Kyou looked at her uneasily. "I heard it was Kyou's birthday on Saturday. Congratulations. I got you a pen." She thrust it out to Kyou, and he took it with a hesitant "thank you". Kyou sat down at his desk, picking a stray piece of rice off his uniform.

"Here Orange Top. I got you a martial arts video. Tohru told me you'd like it." She gave Kyou a noogie, and he proceeded to try to push her off. Then she noticed the watch on his wrist. It looked awfully familiar. She relaxed her grip on his head, and he pushed her off, straightening his hair. "Hey Orange Top, where did you get that watch?"

"Huh? Um, Tohru gave it to me for my birthday."

"What?! Tohru gave you her father's watch?" Yuki, Hanajima, Tohru, and several other students turned towards Uo at her outburst. Hana came over to Uo and Kyou to see for herself. It was true. "I can't believe it," Hana said quietly. She and Uo grabbed Tohru by her hands, and dragged her to the girl's bathroom before class started. Kyou looked at their retreating backs with a puzzled expression. *What was the big deal about a watch?*

"Tohru, I can't believe you gave Carrot Top your father's watch. I thought you'd give it to the Prince."

"I don't know why, but I felt that I should give it to Kyou. Mother always said to go with what you feel." Uo exchanged looks with Hana, finally understanding. Tohru just felt confused. Hana read Tohru's denpa waves, nodding her head in understanding. "Ah, now it all becomes clear. I knew this would come someday."

"Eh?! What do you mean, Hana-chan?" Uo smiled wistfully, and put an arm around Tohru.

"Tohru-chan, you have been experiencing strange feelings lately, ne? You, the Prince, and Orange Top? Because you three are so dense, I never thought this time would come. You're becoming a woman now Tohru, and Yuki and Orange Top are becoming men. You'll have to choose between them soon, or things will me so tense between you three it'll be awkward to live together." Tohru looked down and blushed.

"But don't stress yourself out about it. Just contemplate about it for awhile, and you'll know your feelings," Hana said. Then she and Uo hugged Tohru tightly, and Tohru hugged them tightly in return. *Mother I am so blessed to have my two wonderful friends.* *****************************************************

It was lunch time, and Tohru and Kyou were sitting in the grass under a tree waiting for Yuki, Haru, Momji, Uo and Hana. Kyou occasionally snuck small glances at Tohru. She seemed distracted. "Tohru, are you okay?"

"Huh? Yes Kyou-kun! I'm just fine, no need to worry. In fact.......everything's wonderful." A serene look came over her face, and Kyou smiled softly.

"Guten Abend, Tohru!" Momji called. He, Yuki, Haru, Hana and Uo were coming towards the two. (Forgot to tell you. I've taken 2 years of German, so I'll give translations of what Momji says in my story if you want.^_^)"Ah! Es ist Abendessen zeit!" Momji reached over and took a riceball from Tohru's bento box. He tasted it and smiled. "Das was lecker! Tohru ist wonderbar!"

"Idiot! Stop speaking that jibberish and make some sense!"Kyou yelled. Momji just rolled his eyes and whispered to Haru: "Kyou ist sehr doof."

"What did you say?!" Tohru smiled, happy that the akwardness was gone and everything was back to normal. *********************************************************

Yuki sat in his room at night, unable to sleep. He had been distracted all day. He couldn't even concentrate at his student council meeting. His mind kept going back to that watch. Why? Why had she given that baka her father's watch? It's not like he deserved it more than Kyou. He just felt mad and hurt for some reason. All night he had been quiet. He could see her giving him concerned looks all day. But he couldn't bring himself to say anything to her. A soft knock on his door brought him out of his thoughts. "Come in," he called.

The door opened slowly and Tohru peeked her head in. "Hi, Yuki-kun. May I come in?"

"Hai, Honda-san." He liked how she was calling him Yuki now. It meant a lot to him. She sat at the edge of his bed near him.

"Yuki-kun, are you mad at me?"

"No, Honda-san. I'm not mad at all."

"Then what's wrong?"

Silence.

"Honda-san, is there something going on that you're not telling me about? I feel........as if something has changed without me knowing. I feel like I'm losing you." He lowered his head, and raised it again when he felt Tohru's small warm hand grip his firmly.

"Don't worry Yuki-kun. You'll never lose me. We'll always be together. Things..........will never change." For some reason, an image from the night of Kyou's birthday flashed through her mind; when he had almost kissed her...........

Yuki stared at Tohru, thinking this was the perfect chance to tell her, or show her how he felt. "Tohru...." he said, calling her name softly. She turned to him, and he gripped her hands tightly, lowering his face closer to her mouth. Tohru's eyes widened. She knew he was about to kiss her, yet.........she felt uneasy and queasy. (That rhymes!) She didn't feel the same way she did when Kyou was about to kiss her. "Yuki-kun........" she said uneasily, pulling back slightly. When he finally decided to go for the kiss, she jerked back hard, falling backwards off the bed to the floor.

"Honda-san, are you alright?"

"Ow......Hai, Yuki-kun! I must have slipped off." Yuki frowned slightly. He felt Tohru pulling away from him. The noise she made by falling down caused Kyou and Shigure to come rushing into Yuki's room. "What happened?" they said simultaneously. Then they saw a red faced Yuki and a really red faced Tohru lying flat on her back on the floor.

"Shigure-san! Hi! Sorry to wake you, I fell on the floor."

"Well, well. What was going on in here?" Shigure said slyly. Suddenly, he was hit in the face with a pillow. Tohru slowly looked away from Shigure to look at Kyou. For some reason, she was afraid to look at him. When she did, their eyes met, and her heart broke. The look in his eyes.........it was mix of anger and hurt. He averted his eyes from hers and left Yuki's room. Tohru turned over, and got up to follow him. Yuki watched her leave with a sad look in his eyes...........

"Kyou-kun!" she said, grabbing his arm. He snatched his arm from her hands roughly. She stood there in shock, tears forming in her eyes. "I'm tired. I'm going to bed," was all he said to her before going in his room and closing the door. He wouldn't even look at her because he didn't want her to see him cry........ **********************************************************

Tohru went into her room, and lay on her bed crying. *Mother, Hana-chan and Uo-chan were right. I've ruined everything. Everything has changed now, and I don't know how to fix it.........*

That's the end folks! Poor Kyou-kun! ;_; On your way out, leave a nice review! Oh, and I have the Url for that website. It's I'd recommend looking at all her scans for some really cute Kyoru moments!^^ Till next time..........
