Chapter 2: Apologies

Kyo groaned from his safe haven on the roof. He let the cold winter air whip at his face, willing his full blush to diminish. He really wanted to lay back and sleep, but every time he closed his eyes, Tohru's naked form jumped onto his eyelids.

Kyo was halfway across the bathroom before he realized someone else was inside. He looked quickly towards the tub and had to smother a shocked yelp.

Tohru was lying contently in the hot water, fast asleep. Kyo's heart was thrumming so loudly in his chest he was sure she would hear it and wake up. All thoughts of going to the bathroom vanished as he tried to turn around and leave as quietly as possible. But his whole body seemed rooted to the spot. He tried to look away, but he just couldn't. He could only stare in horror as Tohru's eyes slid lazily open. She turned her head painstakingly slowly until she was staring straight at Kyo.

'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!'

Kyo growled slightly as he shook his head to disperse the memory. Tohru had remained silent all throughout dinner. 'She must think I really am just a pervert.' He thought gloomily.

"Are you alright Kyo?"

"GHAHHHHHH!"

Kyo thought he was having a heart attack. He just managed to keep himself from falling off the roof as he spun around to see Tohru's worried face peaking above the ladder. "Kyo! Did I scare you? I'm sorry."

Kyo silently cursed the blush that was now reheating his face. "I-I'm fine." He managed as he spun back around to hide his blush. He wasn't quick enough. A moment later, a warm hand was pressed to his forehead.

"Kyo? You're really flushed. Are you getting sick? Maybe you should come inside. It's pretty chilly out and you didn't eat a lot at dinner-" She continued fretting over him as he watched, very aware of her hand still on his forehead.

"You-You're not mad?" he asked, earning him a questioning glance from Tohru. "I mean, you know…about earlier?"

"I-" Tohru paused as comprehension dawned on her face, along with a blush to match Kyo's. She removed her hand and slid down next to him. "W-Why would I be mad?"

Kyo looked incredulously at her. "Why wouldn't you be mad! I saw-….I-I-" He tapered off, unwilling to admit what he had done.

Tohru bowed her head. "I know, and I'm very sorry."

Kyo's jaw dropped. "W-W-WHAT! DON'T APOLOGIZE!"

"EH! Sor- I mean, ok."

Kyo sighed and sank back down. "So…why did you come up here?"

"OH! Right!" She jumped up and wandered over to the ladder to come back with a small plate of rice balls. "Since you didn't eat a lot, I thought maybe you would like a snack." She smiled and held the plate up to him. Kyo stared at her in amazement. "There are no leeks!" she said quickly, misreading his awed gaze. Kyo shook his head and grinned in spite of himself, taking a rice ball and biting into it. His smile widened when he realized she had made his favorite; cod.

"You really are amazing." He commented, taking another rice ball from the plate.

"EHHH!" Tohru looked wildly at him, her blush whipping back across her face.

"Forget it." He muttered. They both just sat in the comfortable silence enjoying each others company. Well, for about a minute.

"KYO!" Shigure's sing-song voice carried up from the ground below. "Have you seen Tohru anywhere?"

Kyo, angry at the interruption, didn't trust himself to answer. "I'm up here, Shigure, don't worry!" Tohru called down. Kyo hoped that would be enough to get rid of the dog.

"Kyo! I'm ashamed! I mean, you've already seen her once today! Are you attempting to de-flower our beautiful flower?"

"YOU DAMN DOG!"

Whew. I'm done. (does victory lap) Whoo Hoo! Ok, were you satisfied with my conclusion? Eh? Eh? Tee Hee. Shigure is such a bad dog. Oh well, that's what makes him so lovable!

Yuki: Hey! I wasn't in this one!

Me: You're the one who didn't want to be in it!

Yuki: blush I never said that…….

Kyo: rolls eyes Yup….definitely freaks…….
