A love unspoken
Disclaimer: *See other chapters
Hello again! I'm glad you all liked that last chapter. A much heartfelt thanks to all who reviewed. They were very nice and encouraging. I wonder if anyone figured out how the curse is broken?^^ If you figure it out, tell me in a review, and I'll let you know if you're right or not. Also, I saw "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" yesterday in a brand new AMC theater, and it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was such a good movie. If you haven't seen it, go see it. The books are boring, but the movies are good. Also, Orlando Bloom is soooooo fine! That is my future husband!^^
P.S. Sorry if my story is getting too angsty. And let me know how I did with Akito's character, b/c regretfully I've never seen the anime. ;_;
Ch.8: Secret's out
The weekend was over and it was time to go back to school. As usual, Tohru got up early to make breakfast and then Kyou was the next to get up, followed by Yuki and Shigure. It was the same routine they did every morning before school. Except for Kyou giving Tohru a good morning kiss on her cheek, eliciting a blush from her. She still wasn't used to his intimate behavior and little displays of his strong affection for her. But that didn't mean she didn't like to be on the receiving end of it. It made her feel special in the best kind of way. Once she finished cleaning up the kitchen, she took her place at the kotatsu besides Kyou. He turned to smile warmly at her, and she smiled back.
"Ah, Tohru-chan you have outdone yourself once again. Today's breakfast was just as delicious as the others."
"Arigato, Shigure-san. But you don't need to flatter me so," she said with a giggle.
"Uh, Tohru, if you're done with breakfast I thought we could walk to school together........" Kyou said.
"But Kyo we always walk to school together. You, me, and Yuki."
"I think he means alone," Yuki said quietly.
"Alone?" Tohru looked at Kyou who was blushing, and she began to blush too. "But what about you, Yuki-kun?"
"Don't worry about me. I'll just walk with Momji and Haru."
"Okay, then. If it's okay with you Yuki-kun." Tohru grabbed her things and left with Kyou who was waiting by the door for her.
"Now, now Kyou-kun. Don't do anything ecchi to our little Tohru," Shigure said slyly.
Kyou just rolled his eyes, and led Tohru outside. As they walked the path to school, Kyou reached out his hand for hers and grasped it firmly. They held each other's hand all the way to school.
*************************************************
It was in the afternoon, and the students of Kaibara High were doing their cleaning duty. Kyo sighed for the fifth time that day. That denpa girl was looking at him again. She had been giving him and Tohru weird looks all day. He suspected she knew about their relationship, and was grateful that she didn't say anything to anyone; not even to that Yankee. Kyou lifted his head from his task of sweeping the floor. The classroom was almost empty. It was just him, Tohru and the denpa.
He glanced at her and Tohru out of the corner of his eye. They spoke briefly and the denpa looked once in his direction, then left the classroom.
Leaving him and Tohru in the classroom, alone, to finish their cleaning duty.
He set his broom aside since he was finished, and sat on a desk to watch Tohru.
Her job was to wash the windows and the chalkboard. She was already currently done with the windows, so she began to start on the chalkboard. She felt aprehensive knowing that Kyo was most likely watching her. She finished cleaning the bottom part of the board, and now had to do the top. She pushed a desk against the board, but hesitated.
"What's the matter?" Kyou asked. "Hurry up and finish cleaning the board so we can go home."
"Umm Kyou? Onegai, could you close your eyes for a second?"
"Huh? Why?"
"Because I don't want you to see up my skirt," she mumbled, embarrassed. Her face turned bright red.
"Oh! Um, okay." He closed his eyes and opened them when she gave the okay. He hopped off the desk and stood watching her strain to clean the board. The desk wobbled slightly as she moved.
"Hey, be careful. I don't want you to fall."
"Don't worry, Kyou-kun. I won't fall." When she finished, she turned to climb down, but her left foot caught on the desk, causing her to slip. "Eeek!!!!!" she yelped. Thankfully, Kyou caught her just before she hit the hard floor. He held her tightly, and she turned her head to look up at him.
Her hair was hanging wildly in her face, and it was flushed red. "Arigato, Kyou-kun."
Kyou smirked and flicked her forehead with his finger. "Stupid," he replied. She winced and rubbed her forehead. Then she slowly tried to pull out of Kyou's arms, but found herself in a tight but gentle grip.
"Kyo?" she asked questioningly.
"I did save you just now, Tohru. And I would like some compensation," he said in an attractive voice, smiling mischeviously at her. His lips were close to touching hers, and her eyes widened. She pushed him away, and backed up against the chalkboard.
"W-what?! Kyou-kun, we can't kiss in here! What if someone comes in?"
"Why not? We're alone and there's no one around," he said while closing in on her.
She was unfortunately trapped between him and the board.
He slowly lowered his mouth to hers, placing feather light kisses on her lips. Tohru felt her objection to kissing immediately vacate her mind, and she lifted her arms to wrap around his log tan neck. She was still astonished at how tall he'd become. She'd thought that she would have to stand on her toes, but he leaned down to accommodate their height difference.
Kyou stopped his tirade of feather light kisses, and kissed her firmly on her mouth, wrapping his arms around her small waist. Tohru began making small caresses on the back of his neck, driving him crazy with desire. He removed one of his arms from her waist and placed it behind her head, tangling his fingers in her hair. After a few minutes, they both had to part from lack air. Tohru smiled up at him and he kissed her forehead.
"I think we'd better head home now. People might wonder where we are," Kyou said, kissing the end of her nose. He reluctantly pulled himself away from Tohru, and began to gather their things. When he got to the door, he paused, seeing as she wasn't following him. She was standing still, chewing nervously on her bottom lip.
"Tohru? What is it?"
"Sometimes I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen and take you away from me. It's a light pressure of anxiety that grows everyday on my heart. What if Akito finds out about everything? What are we going to do?"
Kyou dropped their stuff and went to hold Tohru. She buried her face in his chest, and wrapped her arms around his waist, placing her hands on his back. He felt her sniffle and tremble against him, and began to comfortingly caress her hair.
"Don't worry. Nothing's going to happen. I won't let anyone take you away from me. I love you." He gently kissed the tears from her face.
"I love you, too" she whispered back. She felt better, but she still had a bad feeling. Was something going to happen?
*********************************************************
Shigure sat at home, looking through old Sohma documents. He couldn't figure out how Kyou's curse was broken. For the past few weeks he looked through so many documents, and came up with nothing. Exasperated, he leaned back in his chair and removed his glasses. He was happy that Kyou was free, but he couldn't help but feel jealous of him. Kyou had Tohru's love and he was free from the curse. Suddenly, Shigure's phone rang. He picked it up. "Hello?"
The person on the other end was silent for awhile, and then a soft chuckle could be heard from the other end of the line. Shigure recognized it immediately.
"Ah, Akito-san. What a pleasant suprise. It's nice to hear from you." Akito laughed again, a little louder than before.
"Come off it Shigure-san. You really amuse me sometimes with your fake reverie. Other, times you just sicken me. And to think that I thought I could trust you......" Shigure felt a jolt of fear run through him, but he decided to feign ignorance.
"Why Akito-san, I don't know what you mean. Is there something I've done to upset you?" Again Akito laughed. Shigure felt a lump of dread in the pit of his stomach.
"The Juunishi belong to me. I am the one who gives them salvation. You have no right to keeps things from me. It makes me want to punish all of you for your deception. And what better way to do that than to erase that ugly girl's memory? Maybe it will make you all think twice about betraying me......"
Shigure felt a sharp pain in his chest. How had Akito found out? "Akito...please, don't-"
"Shut up! Don't tell me what to do!" There was a brief silence, and Shigure held his breath in apprehension. Then Akito began to speak again in a low, expressionless voice.
"I have changed my mind. After all, it is of no fault of yours that all of you fooled by that stupid girl. After all, I think you'll agree that Miss Honda and Kyou are the ones that need to be punished. But don't worry, I won't erase her memory. And I won't punish Kyou too harshly. She needs to learn that she will never turn my Juunishi against me." Then the phone line went dead......
What is Akito planning to do to our fav Furuba couple? Tune in to the next chappie to find out. Please leave a review, and as always, costructive criticism is welcome.
