A love unspoken

Disclaimer: See previous chapters

I'm glad you all liked that chapter. That made me happy! I turned 18 on the 17th. Woo Hoo! Three more years till I'm of legal age to drink! Just kidding! One of the reviewers said something about Kyo saying Shisho instead of Sensei. Well they mean the same thing, but thank you for pointing that out. It's nice to know you guys are looking out for me, b/c I've never seen Fruits Basket. I've just seen screenshots and read the manga. Well anyway, hope you like this chapter.

Also, I saw Spiderman 2 on the 18th, and that movie was so cool! Except that Kirsten Dunst is the ugliest MaryJane! Eww!

Chapter13: Reunited and it feels so good

Kyo and Tohru stood entwined together in front of the open doorway, the cold wind and rain blowing in from the open door. Tohru remained sheltered from the elements in Kyo's arms.

Kyo gently pulled Tohru back so he could look at her face. She was even more beautiful than he remembered.

Tohru was shocked. Kyo looked so adult. He had grown to be a handsome man, just like the other Sohma men. His face looked leaner and he was taller and more muscular. She couldn't believe that a man so handsome could still love her after all these years.

He leaned down and gently placed his lips upon hers, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

She tasted of fresh strawberries and whipped cream. He deepened the kiss when he felt her fingers lightly scratch at the back of his neck. When they both needed air, they parted.

Tohru blushed and buried her face in his chest. Kyo kissed the top of her head, and ran his fingers through her hair. When she shivered slightly, Kyo opened his long coat, and gently pulled Tohru against him, wrapping her inside his coat.

"Kyo," she whispered. "I......missed you so much! I can't believe you're here. How did you find me?"

"I didn't. Kazuma brought me here." Kyo felt a warmth go through him at the feeling of her warm breath caressing his neck.

"Kazuma?" Tohru said, suprise evident in her voice.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything?" Kyo and Tohru turned their heads to see Kazuma standing in the doorway.

"Kazuma-san!" Tohru said happily. Kyo released her so she could go greet Kazuma.

"Hello Tohru."

"Kazuma-san, how did you know I was here?"

"Kurino told me. When he's not under Akito's influence, he's a very nice person."

"But.....what about Akito-san?"

"He's still angry, I'm sorry to say."

"Oh." she said sadly. Kyo and Kazuma exchanged worried looks. Then Kyo came over and hugged Tohru from behind, laying his cheek comfortingly against hers.

A silene ensued throughout the house.

"Tohru, I think you and Kyo have some catching up to do" Kazuma said with a smile.

"But what about Kyoumi-san? I'm not allowed to leave the house without permisssion. If I break any rules, she has to tell Akito-san."

"Don't worry about anything. When she comes back, I'll talk to her. Now go and enjoy yourselves. I'm sure there's lots of things you'll like to show Kyo."

"You're right. There's so many things I'd like to show him." She hugged Kazuma around the neck and kissed his cheek.

"Arigato Kazuma-san," she said softly. She smiled at him and with her coat in hand, gently closed the door behind her.

"London sure is a dreary place. Is it always like this?" Kyo said.

He and Tohru were walking the streets of London hand in hand. The rain had lightened to a light drizzle, and the water on the streets reflected the many lights in a kaleidoscope of colors.

"Not always. But I like the weather here. Even though it does rain quite a bit around this season." She was silent for a moment, then she said: "How is the rest of the family?"

"They're fine. Everyone really misses you. Even though you weren't there with us, we were just glad that you were okay somewhere."

"How is Shigure-san? and Kisa? I've been worrying about them ever since I got here."

"Well Shigure is okay. Nothing really affects that guy, or he hides his emotions really well. He's just as perverted and stupid as ever. And Kisa's holding up pretty well. Hiro has been really supportive, and they've gotten very close."

"That's good." There was another silence, and then Tohru whispered: "How......how have you been holding up?"

Kyo's grip tightened on her hand, and a wry smile formed on his lips. "I won't lie to you and say I've been okay, because I haven't. First I was angry with everyone, and then I was sad. I just wanted to push everyone away. And then I thought it would be better for me If I tried to forget you. But I couldn't. But I was okay with a talk from Kazuma, and a particularly good beating from Kagura."

He heard a sniffle, and looked over to see Tohru crying.

"Aw geez. Tohru don't cry. Look, I'm okay now; we're together again. There's no need to be sad."

"I know but I can't help it. I care about all of you so much, and everyone had to go through so much pain because of me," she sobbed. Kyo looked around for a place they could sit till she calmed down, and saw a park across the street. He wrapped an arm around her and led her to a nearby gazeebo.

"Shh. Don't cry. It's okay." He stroked her hair and held her close. When she calmed down he handed her his handkercheif, and she began to wipe her face.

"I'm sorry Kyo."

"Oi, wht have I told you about apologizing so much?" She gave him a watery smile, and leaned her head on his shoulder. The rain started to fall again, and a loud rumble was heard from above.

"Tohru..........How have you been here in London?"

"I've been okay. Kyoumi-san has been really nice, and I really like it here in London. But it's not the same as being with my friends and family; being with the one I love." She took his hand, interlocking their fingers together. "I'm so happy we are together now, but what about the future? I can't go back to Japan. Akito-san might find out. And you can't keep flying back and forth between Japan and London. He might get suspicious." She could feel her eyes burn as tears began to form.

"What if this is the last time we're able to be together like this? I don't think I could go through being seperated again."

"Me too," Kyo agreed. "I don't want to be apart from you again."

"Then, what can we do?"

"There........is something we can do." Tohru looked up at him, but he couldn't look her in the eyes. It was hard enough to say what he had to say. Looking into her beautiful eyes would just make him more nervous.

"Kyo, what is it?" She touched his arm comfortingly.

"I love you Tohru. I love you more than I have anyone in my whole life. I can't imagine living without you." He finally gained some courage, and he turned to look into her expressive brown eyes.

"Kyo....."

"Will you be my wife?" Tohru's eyes widened considerably.

"Wh-what?"

"Will you marry me?"
