Thank you for all your reviews guys. I really appreciate them. They make me soo happy!^^ I just watched Escaflowne:The Movie. It was really good. It was so sad! ;_; It made me depressed for the rest of the day. Sorry if this chapter is a little angsty. I'm feeling sad from the movie. So give me reviews to make me happy again!
Warning: This chapter is really fluffy!^^
It was the next day, and during the course of the night, Tohru and Kyo couldn't sleep. So many wonderful things had happened to them. Now they could hold each other for as long as they wanted because the curse wasn't there to hold them back. Kyo was normal now and it felt great.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the next day, and Kyo awoke slowly, bright sunlight penetrating his eyelids. He ran a hand through his hair and sat up in his bed. He still couldn't believe he was free from the curse of the cat. The events of last night just didn't seem real. A sudden jolt of fear ran through him. What if it was all just a dream? There was one way to find out. He slowly climbed from his bed and made his way downstairs to the kitchen where he could hear Tohru working on breakfast. He came in slowly, and stood by the doorway watching her. He couldn't understand why someone like her would ever love someone like him. But nevertheless, she did, and he was thankful enough not to question why. Seeming to sense his prescence behind her, she turned and smiled at him, then turned back to the pancake mix she was stirring.
"Good morning Kyo. Breakfast will be ready in a....." her voice trailed off when she felt his arms go around her, his hands resting on her stomach. She began to blush when she felt his warm breath against her face and his lips against her temple. He held her like that for several minutes.
"So it wasn't a dream," Kyo murmered. He kissed her temple gently, and wrapped his arms tighter around her. Tohru released the bowl and spoon she was holding, and hugged her arms around his. Her heart was racing feeling his hands on her stomach and his body draped over hers, but she liked the way it felt. They were so wrapped up in each other that they didn't notice Yuki and Shigure staring at them from the doorway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A pang of hurt, jealousy, and suprise ran through Yuki seeing that baka hold Tohru so intimately. He knew that Tohru didn't love him, but he still loved her. Very much. If being with Kyo made her happy, then so be it. He would do anything to make her happy. But back to the matter at hand, how was Kyo able to hug Tohru? "Honda-san?" Yuki said softly to get her attention. Both Kyo and Tohru's head shot up at the sound of Yuki's voice. Tohru gasped ashamedly, and pushed Kyo's arms away.
"Yuki-kun! Shigure-kun! I didn't hear you come in." Her face turned really red, and Kyo scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment, his face also red. He raised his head up to look at Yuki and his eyes met Yuki's irritated glare. But Kyo just let a smug smile adorn his face. Tohru was his and Yuki's glaring at him wouldn't change that fact.
Shigure looked back and forth at Kyo and Tohru, wondering what happened between the two while he and Yuki were gone. He bet that they did something ecchi. ^^; But what was really plaguing his mind was how Kyo was able to embrace Tohru? He for one was very shocked. He also notices that Kyo did not have his bracelet on. "Kyo, how are you able to embrace Tohru?"
"To tell you the truth, we have no idea. We were just as suprised as you two were."
"Did something strange happen? Were you two doing anything unusual?"
"Umm, no. We didn't do anything. It was strange, I even felt different. Like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. It.....was a wonderful feeling." Shigure smiled softly, and patted his shoulder gently. Kyo looked at him and rubbed at the tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
"I'm happy for you Kyo. Your being freed from the curse has given me renewed hope that someday we'll all be free." Tohru smiled and felt tears come to her eyes. "But I think we'll all agree when I say we shouldn't tell Akito and the others about this. This is one thing I think they shouldn't know about just yet." They all shook their heads in agreement. "I would like to talk to Tohru for a minute If I can." Kyo gave Tohru a questioning look, but she gave him a reassuring smile. When everyone had left, Shigure turned to Tohru and held her face between his hands.
"Tohru, promise me you'll always love Kyo and take care of him. I admit that sometimes he's not the easiest person to get along with, and he could act really stupid.........But he really does love you very much."
"I know, and I love him too. So very much.......... I'll stay by his side for as long as he wants me there," she whispers with tears in her eyes. Shigure smiles and kisses her gently on her forehead. After they part, Tohru goes to see where Kyo is. She finds him sitting on the edge of her bed, looking nervous. He looks up when she enters, looking concerned at her damp red cheeks. He opens his arms to her and she collapses in them gratefully.
"What's wrong? What did Shigure say to you?" Kyo whispered while gently stroking her back.
"Nothing's wrong. He just said some kind words."
"Then what's bothering you?"
"I was thinking, what if Akito finds out about us? Will he be angry? What if he won't let me stay by your side?" Tohru's tiny hands clutched at Kyo's shirt, trying to fight the tears threatening to form in her eyes. Her thoughts came to a crashing halt when she felt Kyo's warm lips press to hers. She could feel his hand press firmly against her back, and his other hand was stroking her cheek with his knuckles. She raised her hands to hold the back of his neck, pulling him closer. When he released her lips so they could breathe, her face turned lobster red. Every time he kissed her it was like she had been swimming in a vast ocean, leaving her disoriented and breathless.
She raised her eyes to look into his and was suprised at his sorrowful expression. She was about to ask him what was wrong when he gently brushed his lips across hers again. "Never," he said. "I won't ever let Akito take you away from me. No matter what, he'll never stop me from loving you."
Tohru wiped at the tears once again falling from her eyes, and they held each other in a tight embrace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shigure was reading a newspaper at the kotatsu, and he glanced over at the unfinshed breakfast Tohru was working on. He was hungry, but he didn't want to disturb Kyo and Tohru. He wanted them to spend as much time together as possible. If Akito found out about them, he would never let them be together. And as much as he'd hate to have to do it, if Akito got suspicious or asked about it, he would have to tell him everything. It's not as if he wants to tell Akito about the two love-struck teens. He has his own plans for the both of them. He wanted time to figure out how they broke Kyo's curse. There must have been something significant they did, but what?
He looked up abruptly as he saw Kyo and Tohru come downstairs holding hands. They had those shoes on, so he was assuming they were about to go out. "So where are you two going?" he said in an amusing tone.
"Quit smiling like that you idiot. We're going out, so we'll be back later with dinner." Before they left, Tohru fried up some pancakes real quick for Yuki and Shigure to eat for breakfast, and she heated up some left over soup for their lunch. Shigure smiled gratefully at Tohru for her delectable food.
"Ready?" Kyo asked her. He smiled at her, and she blushed slightly. She nodded her head, and they both headed out for their evening together. After they had left, Yuki came down wondering where everybody was.
"My little flower and Kyou went out on a romantic date with each other." Yuki felt another painful clench in his chest. He still couldn't believe he lost Tohru to Kyou. sHIGURE WATCHED Yuki carefully, giving him a sympathetic smile. Then they both sat down to enjoy their breakfast in silence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (I'm not going to go into much depth concerning their date, because I'm trying to hurry and finish this. Okay? Now back to the story!)
First Kyo took Tohru to the arcade. They played Tekken and Soul Caliber 2 (a very cool game I might say^^). Kyo got a lot of tickets, so he used them to get her a teddy bear. Then they had to leave because Kyou almost started a fight with some guys looking at Tohru. After he had time to calm down, it was in the afternoon, and they both went to see "Mona Lisa Smile" at the theater. (Is that even out yet?) Kyo wasn't into those sappy type movies, but Tohru wanted to see it, so he willingly complied. He'd do anything for her if it would make her happy; or grant him the blessing that was her smile.
After the movie, he took her to a casual Japanese resteraunt, where they ate dinner. They also bought some for Shigure and Yuki. Then they headed to a special outdoor concert/stargazing event. It was great. They both sat on a small blanket on the grass, listening to the instrumental music filling the air. The night air was kinda cool, and Tohru shivered slightly. Then she felt Kyou pulling her into his arms, nuzzling his face against her neck. She smiled, and placed her arms over his, stroking them gently. "Thank you, Kyo. I had a wonderful evening, and I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone but you." Kyo tilted her face toward his, and kissed her once again. *I feel like I could kiss her everyday for the rest of my life,* thought Kyo. When they parted he puled her closer, inhaling the scent of strawberries in her hair. "I love you Tohru,"he whispered his warm breath tickling her cheek.
"I love you too Kyo," she replied. Then she closed her eyes, leaning back and losing herself in his warm embrace. Little did the two teens know that someone, who knows about the curse, had seen them embrace and that Kyo didn't transform...................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kureno Sohma returned to the main house from the errand Akito had sent him on. He also had some news that he thought Akito would find very interesting. He approached Akito's room, and knocked softly. "Enter," Akito said softly. Kureno entered and bowed low on his knees. Akito was eating rice out of a bowl with chopsticks.
"Akito-sama, I have some interesting news concerning Honda Tohru and Kyou that you'd like to hear." Kureno flinched when he heard the snap of the chposticks being broken in half. Akito's fist clenched. He had a feeling it wasn't good news.
"Really. Then I deplore you to continue. I'd like to hear what my "monster" has been keeping from me..............."
Well, now Akito knows. Wonder what will happen next? Please leave a review, and costructive crticism is welcome!
P.S. I left a hint as to how Kyo's curse was broken in the last chapter. I wonder if you can find it? ^_^
