Chapter 2-

Yuki came back with Shigure and Hatori running behind him. They gently lifted up Kyo and carried him back to the house. Tohru followed silently behind them. One glimmering tear fell down her face. The feeling in her heart got a little heavier with that teardrop. She leaned her head to the left to see Kyo. His orange hair was bouncing as they carried him. "Kyo……" she whispered.

When Kyo woke up he was in his bed. Hatori was standing nearby. "Wha… wha.. how did I….?" he stammered. "Yuki came back to the house and called me and I came here. We followed Yuki to where Tohru was with you and carried you back." Hatori answered. Kyo slowly laid back down onto his pillow and closed his eyes. He now knew that at least one thing was for sure.

He loved Tohru.

Tohru carried Kyo's bag back to the house that had his uniform in it and put it in the laundry. She sighed. Tohru soon realized it was getting close to dinnertime. She hurried to the kitchen to make some dumplings. "I guess Hatori is staying here tonight. I better make an extra helping for him too.

She walked in and passed out the food. "Ah, my sweet flower! Don't you wish you had someone just like Tohru, Hatori?" Shigure rambled. Hatori was silent. "HAHAHA! I GUESSED RIGHT DIDN'T I HATORI! YOU DIRTY MAN!" Shigure yelled. "No, I was just amazed at your stupidity." he answered.

Tohru walked upstairs carrying Kyo's food. I hope he's alright. she thought to herself. She quietly slid the door to the side and tip-toed into his room. "Kyo-kun? Are you awake? I brought you some food." she whispered.

Kyo stirred and turned over so he could see her. He noticed everything about her. The way her long brown hair caressed her face. Her gentle concerned eyes. Her soft lips that he longed to touch with his own. Then he realized that she was talking to him. "Oh, um… thank you… for… the food. Um, yeah. And thank you… for… you know… coming out to find me." Kyo stammered.

Tohru looked surprised. Oh, no. Did I say something weird to her? Why do I have to be so stupid? Why am I such an idiot? She'll never be able to love me. I'm the cat. I'll never be loved by anyone. Tohru blushed and said "Um, well. Your welcome, Kyo-kun. I was really worried about you. I mean…" she paused for a minute, trying to find the right words to say.

I have to tell him, how I feel. Or I'll never get rid of this heaviness on my heart. She stepped toward his bed and stood over him. She bent down and neared his face. Tohru hesitated, but got closer. She kissed his cheek, ever so lightly.

Kyo turned a bright shade of red and immediately lifted his hand to his cheek where Tohru had kissed him. She blushed and turned around and headed out of the room. He now knew that at least two things were for sure.

He loved Tohru, and she loved him.
