Disclaimer: I'm so tired of saying this. (sigh)...I don't own Furuba. But I wrote my first Kyo/Kagura. Yayyy!

She was attracting many stares.

It wasn't the dress she was in, although she looked remarkably pretty in it. The waves in her hair didn't contribute to their looks. Even her jewelry wasn't the cause. It was the way she was walking.

When Kyo came across her, he almost thought she was intoxicated. Her arms were flared as she clomped about in ridiculously tall stiletto heels.

"Kagura, what the hell are you doing?"

She flashed him a warm grin. "Oh Kyo! I wanted to surprise you! H--"

He took his time walking over to the Sohma who tripped, thus preventing her from further speaking.

"It's your fault. Don't expect my sympathy," he retorted as he held out his hand. The same action that made her fall in love with him was executed again, and Kagura flushed in remembrance of that day. She took his hand and hoisted herself up.

As soon as she was up, she fell back down. He was tugged to the ground alongside her.

Kyo leapt up. "Alright, that's it!"

"What's it?" Kagura queried as she repeated the action she had to do many times today provided her uncoordinated condition.

"Get on my back." He displayed said body part to her.

"What?"

"Get on! Take those dumb shoes off first. Your feet probably hurt on account of you." He didn't mean to sound so insensitive, but she was aggravating him.

"Thank you, Kyo!" she squealed as she removed her high heels and ambushed his back.

"Okay, okay! Would you like me to pass out? You're choking me!"

She loosened the chokehold she had engaged his neck in and wrapped her legs loosely around his torso. He bound her legs in the crooks of his arms before he commenced walking.

"Am I heavy?"

"Are you stupid?"

Even without staring into her visage, Kyo sensed her pained expression.

"Sorry. I meant to say... Why were you wearing those dumb shoes? And, no, you're not heavy." The lilac shoes dripping from her fingers aggravated him, so he wordlessly removed one arm from her leg and took them in his fingers.

"For you."

"For me?"

"I just thought that if I were more feminine, you'd like me the best. I shouldn't have though." She released a nervous laugh. "My feeties are hurt and blistered. When I get home, I'll have to soak them..."

"It's my fault. Kagura... You look beautiful. But if beauty comes at the price of pain, then why bother? Don't you know that you're fine just the way you are? I like you just the way you are." He reddened. Kyo quickly regained his composure. "Now that you know, don't do it again unless you want to, okay?"

"Okay!" Kagura consented.

"I'll massage your feet once we get home."

"Kyo?"

"Yeah?"

Her arms affectionately squeezed his shoulders. "Thank you. I'm so lucky."

"So am I, Kagura," he smiled. "So am I."

Love means loving a person as they are.
