Getting You Back
Chapter 1: Question

"Kyo? Are you ready to go now?" Tohru Honda's little head poked out from the hallway. "I mean...we can wait, I'm sure. IF you're not ready that's fi—"
"Hold on..." Kyo grumbled, lifting one eye open in an annoyed way, "Let me get my shoes on first."
"Oh...I'm sorry for rushing you..." Tohru's gaze fell to the floor, punishing herself for hurrying him, "I...guess you think I'm really rude, I just thought you ready...I'm really sorry, Ky—"
"QUIT saying you're sorry, it's fine, I'm slow anyways." Kyo stopped her from apologizing any further with a knitted brow and an angry glare, "Let's just get this damn shopping thing over with already..."
"If you hate it that much, why are you coming you stupid cat?" Yuki Sohma leaned against the inside of the door, arms crossed over his chest, a broad smirk on his face. His violet eyes gleamed with malice and hatred toward Kyo.
Kyo glared at his rival, "Damn rat...I'm only going because Tohru asked and that'd be really rude just to throw it down."
"But you're always really rude to other people, so why make an exception for our sweet Tohru?" Shigure Sohma appeared out of no where, right behind Kyo. His grin was infamous, and his eyes were twinkling with humor.
"AGH, shut up, you damn dog!!" Kyo's face was either under a severe blush or fuming. He whirled around, not knowing how to shove another comeback to the inu of the family, so he just remained quiet as Yuki and Shigure were talking about when to be back.
"Kyo? Are you okay? You seem a little...tense?"
Before he knew it, Kyo saw two dazzling blue eyes staring at him with concern. Tohru was craning her neck to look at him; sense Kyo's head was bent, staring down in shame. Kyo jumped at her soft words, staring back up at her stiffly.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, just waiting for that damn Yuki to shut his mouth and hurry up—WAAHH!!" A knuckled fist blew into the back of Kyo's neck, causing him to fall forward
"Ah! Kyo! Ehh!" Tohru's frantic arms wrapped around him to break the fall, and in a red puff of smoke and the curses origin, Kyo's body transformed into an orange cat with narrowed purple eyes. "Dammit..."
"Shut up you stupid cat...I'm sorry Miss Honda...I didn't mean for you to get hurt." Yuki bent down beside her.
"N-no I'm fine." Tohru smiled goofily, smacking a balled fist into her chest, "Iron strong is what my mom always called me...I just caught Kyo because he might've been hurt if he fell..."
"I WOULD'VE BEEN FINE!!" Kyo hissed, hair prickling on his back. He plunged out of Tohru's lap, not noticing his blushing of seven shades. He sat down, annoyed of the world. "O-oh..." Tohru said, standing up, her face cracked to a hurt expression,
"I- I'm sorry..." Tohru said bashfully, ashamed and head bent
Yuki placed a hand on Tohru's shoulder, "Don't be sorry Miss Honda, don't be sorry for this cat's stupid ways—
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPP!!!" Tohru whirled around, bending her head to the ground, face flushed red. Kyo hurried to whip back into his clothes, and was finally slipping on his navy jacket when it was safe for Tohru to turn back around. Her face was still ten shades of red and crimson but her smile was wavering of embarrassment.
"I'm...sorry for transforming you in the first place....K-Kyo..."
"Whatever, it's okay, let's just GO allre—"
"To-tohru?" Shigure's head popped out from the house, his glasses on the tip of his nose. With everything going on, the trickster was able to sneak back into the house without getting noticed. He must've started writing before he came out.
"Y-yes?"
"There's someone here for you. He said he needs to talk with you....I think it's a boy from your school." Shigure waved his hand for her to come in. "Come on, he's at the front." Shigure then again disappeared behind the door and back into the house again.
Kyo's eyes narrowed into slits, and his fists balled, "Okay, let me deal with him...what would he want from you anyways?!" Kyo's voice roared into a loud anger.
Yuki sighed, closing his eyes, "Just let her see who it is, stupid cat it's rude of you to say that anyways." Yuki nodded to the door, "Go ahead Tohru..."
"OH SO NOW SHE HAS TO HAVE MR. SISSY-BOY'S ATTENTION?!"
"No, I was just saying--
Tohru's grin widened at the two's old fighting ways. She set her bag down to lean against the house and trotted on inside, slipping off her shoes as she went.
Kyo and Yuki were left staring at the wide open door and seeing her in the distance talking to the boy. Both the two growled and narrowed their eyes...even Yuki, who had said it was rude.
Kyo was the first to walk in—more like run in—being to over protective of Tohru. No one truly knew about his feelings for her, but he didn't know either that everyone noticed it was obvious; both Yuki and Kyo had fallen in love with Tohru.
But as clueless as she is, Tohru hasn't even noticed herself.
"Um...excuse me?" Tohru's head poked out to see who was at the door. "Who is this?"
"Koiji Shiatsu from school. Tohru Honda?" the boy revealed himself, and much to Tohru's eyes was he handsome. His hair was brown and layered, locks falling in his jade eyes. His face and body was tan and he wore the normal black Kaiwaia High uniform. His smile though, was soft and gentle, his eyes twinkling and bright. Tohru's heart skipped a beat, but she smiled.
"W-well...Koiji...hello. Y-yes, I'm Tohru...It's a pleasure to see you."
Koiji laughed a little at her kindness, causing dimples to crease into his cheeks throwing into the innocence of a five year old, but the handsomeness of a teenage boy. "I see you're sort of...surprised? I'm sorry for startling you..." He smiled at her, "But I had something I needed to ask you. May I come in?" His eyes gazed down at her, his eyebrows peaked up in embarrassment from asking and feeling rude.
"Oh! I'm sorry, Koiji, yes, come in, come in." Tohru scooted to the side to let Koiji step in his wondrous eyes venturing off and scoping around the place, "A very nice place you have here...I hear you're living with the Sohma's?"
Tohru smiled her confused and crimson face turning into it's normal color, "Yes! The Sohma's have been very great to me..." Her eyes gazed up at Koiji, causing them to look wide and innocent, "I love them all so much."
Koiji's smile softened and he laughed a little, "Well...what I wanted to ask you...well...was....um..." Now, his innocence returned. Rubbing the back of his neck, Koiji finally threw in the towel and grabbed Tohru's hands, interlacing his fingers with hers, "Will you go out with me?"
