#From last chapter: Kyou and Tohru embraced, not noticing that he didn't transform...........?
CH.6: Cursed no more
Warning: Major fluff in this chappie! ^^
Kyou held Tohru, reveling in her love and warmth. Then he noticed that he hadn't transformed yet. His eyes widened in shock. Could it be that the curse was broken........? But it seemed he spoke too soon. Poof! Instead of holding a 17-year-old boy, Tohru was holding an annoyed orange cat. Or more like was holding. Since she was leaning on him when he held her, she lost her balance when he transformed, falling flat on her face and on him.
"Tohru! Are you okay?" Kyou said. He struggled to pull out from under her.
"I think so, I just bumped my head," she said slowly sitting up. There was a red mark on her forehead. Kyou walked over to her and put his paws on her knees. He was still wondering why it took him so long to transform. Maybe the curse was begining to be lifted. But how? Suddenly there was another poof, and a nude Kyou sat hunched in front of Tohru with his hands resting on her knees. Both their eyes began to widen.
"Kyaa!" Tohru yelped. She quickly turned her head while Kyou pulled his clothes on.
"Sorry," he said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. Then they both stood there staring at each other akwardly. Suddenly, Kyou walked closer to her and smiled warmly.
"Tohru, did you mean it when you said you loved me?" Her eyes widened and she began to blush a little. Then she closed her eyes and leaned her cheek against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. It was a soothing sound to her.
"Yes," she said softly. "I love you, Kyou Sohma. I love every part of you. I love it when you're mad, sad, happy............I love all of it." She took his left hand where his bracelet was and held it between her hands. Then she lifted his hand to her cheek, and pressed it firmly against it. He began to slowly stroke her cheek, causing her to look in his eyes. As they stared at each other their eyes were filled with love. He bent his head down towards her, and their lips met once again.
She tilted her head back because he was slightly taller than her. He moved one hand to her waist and the other to the back of her neck. Deciding to be a little bold, she move her hands to the back of his neck to pull him as close as he could get. It seemed like forever before they parted. Then they stood facing each other, trying to catch their breaths. Kyou ran a hand affectionately over Tohru's hair.
"I'm so excited I can hardly catch my breath," Tohru said.
"Me too," Kyou agreed. They both looked at each other smiling and blushing.
"Oh no! I forgot to finish dinner," Tohru said, panicking.
"It's okay, I'll fix dinner." Kyou said, placing a hand on her shoulder. She blushed slightly, and smiled up at him gratefully. Kyou made them both grilled salmon with rice, and they sat close together at the kotatsu, both silently enjoying the others company. When they were done, they also washed dishes together. And somehow, a dishwater fight was started. They both flung water and soap suds at each other playfully. *I like this side of Kyou. The side that could be so silly and playful, and..............romantic. I want to see him like this everyday for the rest of my life.*
Kyou decided to walk Tohru to her bedroom, and they both stood there, staring at each other. "Arigato Kyou, for everything." She absent-mindedly took his hand between hers, and slowly stroked it. "When my mother died, a void developed in my heart that I didn't think could ever be exstinguished. But then you let me in your heart and I let you into mine. Now my heart is so filled, it's overflowing." She smiled at him, and deciding to be bold, reached up and gently pressed her lips to his. Her face turned really red, and Kyou's eyes widened at her boldness. His eyes smiled, and he slowly closed his eyes and kissed her back. Then he reached his other hand to the back of her head, and tangled his fingers in her hair.
When they had to pull away to breathe, Kyou whispered against her mouth "I love you, Tohru." Her eyes widened when she realized that it was the first time she heard him say it back. Tears cme to her eyes and she felt him pull her into a tight embrace. She breathed in the smell of him, as her face was pressed tightly between his neck and shoulder. Several minutes passed and Kyou still hadn't transformed. Both Kyou and Tohru seemed to realize this because they pulle back to stare at each other. "Kyou, the curse..............."Tohru said slowly. Kyou nodded his head in understanding. She gently pulled away from him and grabbed his left hand.
The hand that held his black and white bracelet.
Tohru heard him breathe in sharply as she wrapped her delicate fingers around it. She looked up at him and saw the fear in his eyes as he stared at his bracelet. Tohru felt him tremble, and she reached a hand up to stroke his cheek. Kyou felt himself calm at her touch. "It'll be okay," she said. "I'll still love you no matter what happens." He rested his forehead against hers and nodded his assent. Their hearts began to race as her fingers tightened around his bracelet, and she slowly pulled it from his wrist.
They both tensed, waiting to see if he would turn into the terrible reptilian cat with the horrible stench. Once again nothing happened. Tohru smiled at Kyou and tears were shimmering in her eyes. She gave a cry of joy, and threw her arms around his neck. "We did it Kyou! You're free......." Tears also came to Kyou's eyes, and it felt like a great weight was lifted off his chest. He huggeed her back, and lifted her off her feet, spinning her around. Cries of joy and laughter rang out in Sohma Shigure's house for the cat' curse was finally broken....................
