reading for English2 honors, but oh well. We are being made to read a book called

Sophie's World: A Novel About The History Of Philosophy, and a book called Night,

and that's about the holocaust. Well here it is. Enjoy:

Chapter 2: All Alone Together With Tea Among Other Things

on their walk home

Yuki had a student council meeting and had told the two to go on without him.

Tohru had glanced over at kyo several times and always found that he had a look of

concern on his face but he was just deep in thought about...well her. Finally she had to

say something,

"Kyo-kun, is there anything on your mind?" Tohru asked him with concern in her voice.

"No,...nothings wrong." Kyo answered with a tone that made it sound like something was

wrong.

"Are you sure, cause if there is, you can always tell me." Tohru said. "You know

that..(she paused looking down and blushed)..that I'm here for you?...Right?"

She asked nervously, blushing then stopping to look into his eyes.

"Yeah. ....I know." Kyo said, smiling that really sweet and caring smile, stopping to look

into her eyes as well. He then stopped and moved closer to her. He took her hand and

started to walk again, pulling her with him until she could find the will to move her legs.

She started walking and looked down at where his hand was connected to hers. She

blushed and smiled, happy to just be there with him. and especially to be holding hands

with him.

lost in her thoughts tohru thought to herself,

'Oh kyo-kun if you only knew...how I really feel for you. I wish I could tell you.' while at

the same time kyo thought,

' Tohru I wish you knew that there was something wrong. It's that I really, really like

you. But I think that... that... (he stopped himself, not wanting to admit it) that I love you.'

and he blushed.

When they reached shigure's house, they were still holding hands. When they got to the

door kyo opened it and led her inside, in front of him finally letting go of her hand. after

tohru and kyo put their things away and got changed out of their school uniforms they

both went downstairs to find shigure sitting at the table.

"Sorry I missed you when you came home from school I just finished talking to my

publisher. So where has yuki-kun gone,...leaving you two alone?" shigure finished with a

slight smirk on his face.

"Oh, he had a council meeting, but he should be back later tonight." Tohru answered. she

hadn't noticed what shigure had been trying to hint at but kyo tried to ignore it.

Shigure said that he would be going to visit ayame and that he would be gone for a week

or so. With that shigure stood and grabbed his bag and said goodbye and waved to tohru

and kyo as hatori pulled up in his car to take him over to ayame's place.

Once he left kyo had fully noted that him and tohru were alone in the house for the first

time and had almost blushed at the thought of having her to himself for basically a week

that was if that damned rat didn't try to interfere. Kyo went to sit at the table but he

reconsidered and decided to reroute to the kitchen where tohru was so humbly making tea

for him and herself. Tohru noticing him come into the room gave him a big smile.

"Kyo-kun, the tea is just about done, why don't you sit at the table and I'll come in with

the tea in a moment." Tohru suggested. Kyo just looked at her with a dreamy

look glazing in his eyes. In a few simple moments kyo had managed to look over her

entire face and take in every aspect of its radiance.

"Tohru, you are really beautiful." he said still gazing at her unsure of what he had really

said and took another step toward her. Tohru confused of what this had to do with the tea,

started to blush furiously. She was wondering what had come over kyo-kun so suddenly.

She knew that she liked him a lot but she never suspected that he had real feelings for her

like she did for him.

"Kyo...-kun." she said shyly(and maybe a bit shocked). Kyo, as if on command snapped

out of his trance like look and blushed a brilliant red and scurried out of the room and

onto the roof.

"Kyo-kun..." Tohru pronounced, still shocked. The tea kettle went off in the background

and she just stared at the door wondering what that had been all about.

Kyo sat on the roof thinking, 'Baka baka baka baka baka baka!!!!! Why did I say that?

Why didn't I just tell her? Now with shigure gone and yuki taking on more responsibility

of being class president I'll be alone with tohru a lot more and now!' and was

now nervous because of what had just happened downstairs.

Kyo had stayed on the roof the rest of the day. He had witnessed yuki comming home

and watched tohru greet him at the door informing him that tea had just been made. All

he could think was, 'Baka baka baka baka baka baka baka baka ...!!! 'He didn't really

know what to do with the situation that he was in. He knew he had to rely on his feelings

now.

...all of his feelings...

Later that night...

Kyo was still laying on the roof basically scared and embarassed to go back inside. He

heard a sound comming from the edge of the roof and looked over sitting up. He saw

tohru dressed in her pajamas with a bowl in her hand comming up the ladder.

"Kyo-kun...um..." tohru started. Kyo hadn't expected her of all people to come see him,

especially at such a late hour.

"Tohru, what are you doing here so late?" Kyo asked.

"Well I know that you missed dinner and I thought you might be hungry, but I wasn't

sure since it was so late... but I brought you some hot miso soup from dinner, so here."

She finished, handing over the steaming bowl.

"Uh...arigatou." Kyo said as he took the bowl from her picking up the spoon to start

eating. He had just finished the bowl when he suddenly stopped and noticed she

was glancing over at him nervously.

"Uh, kyo-kun... um...why was it that you told me I was really beautiful?"

"Um, you know,...back in the kitchen, that is." Tohru finished her face flushing a bit at

being able to speak the words.

Kyo put down the bowl and had a blush starting to spread across his face, so he

quickly faced forward.

"Well, tohru...you are." he said with his face forward. He then turned to look at her and

noticed she was blushing as well. He decided to continue so she wouldn't feel so

uncomfortable. "and um, well...the fact is... well I ... I... I like you...a lot." He ended

sounding unlike the angry guy he usually was.

He could see her start to become shocked but then her expression changed sudenly and

she seemed relaxed as if something had been lifted off of her shoulders instead of his.

Her face then became softened in appearance and she smiled sweetly at him. Kyo was

taken a-back by this, because he didn't expect her to of all things smile at him.

"Kyo-kun..."she said with a hint of love in her voice.

"I..I like you a lot too." she finished. A smile had spread over kyo's face like she had

never seen before and was like that one she had seen earlier in the kitchen. Kyo

then scooted a little closer to her and she sat next to him.

He grabed her hand and laced her fingers with his, then kissed the back of her hand

gently still smiling. They then were side by side and she rested her head on his shoulder

and sat there with him until sunrise just sitting there together basking in the glory of their

confessions to each other. Kyo couldn't be happier that she had the same feelings for him

and that she was with him. He knew he loved her a lot. Tohru now knew what to label

her feelings that she had had earlier,...love.

Wasn't that great? ahhhhh! Well why would Kyo just tell her that he liked her and didn't

love her and no that wasn't a typo or anything he meant to say like to her but why? only I

know! hahahahahah!(evil laugh rants on) ok im fine now. but yes they still havent told

eachother that they love eachother yet but do we know why? No, but i do, ok well im
