Ok, read on if you would like...
Chapter 3- Falling Deeply.
Three days had gone by now and Tohru was still sick. Not as bad as she used to be, but still had a bad cold. Her fever had gone down, and she no more barfed. This relieved Kyo and Yuki. They couldn't stand seeing her running back and forth from her room to the bathroom always to throw up. It 1. Made them feel bad, and 2 grossed them out.
Tohru walked over to the sink, a cup in her hand. She turned on the sink and got some water, gulping it down quickly. All day she had felt like she was dehydrating. She had drank many cups of water in less then an hour, and still didn't seem to satisfy her thirst.
" Its making up from all the liquids you didn't drink," Kyo said as he watched Tohru take yet another glass of water and drink it.
" I know," she said gloomily.
" C'mon," Kyo said grabbing her wrist. " it's time you get out of the house. Your dressed so lets go!"
" Okay Kyo-kun. But…where are we going?"
" Hm…eh…I don't know. Think of a place."
" Hm…how about the park!" she said now becoming happily.
Kyo stopped, thinking about the idea that was just now placed in his head.
" Sure why not, that sound pretty good." he said, putting up a smile that Tohru always enjoyed to see.
When they had gotten to the park most people were leaving. Only a 2 families were there. And about 2 couples as well. Kyo and Tohru were only there as friends, though it looked a lot more then just friends. They smiled and laughed as each one of them rambled on about pointless things.
" I think I need to sit down," Tohru said, her vision now becoming a but blurry.
Kyo pointed to a bench under a tree that provided much shade. Tohru sat down willingly. She looked around at the empty park, and noticed something. A small blue figure wobbled across the grass by another tree. It seemed to be limping and calling out for something. Tohru squinted her eyes a little bit trying to get a better look at what ever it was. But she couldn't see. So she stood up and moved a little bit closer. Kyo, following close behind. When getting close enough, Tohru was able to see what it was. It was a small injured blue jay (type of bird) limping around.
" aw, poor thing!" Tohru said, picking up the injured bird.
" I think its wing is broken. But I'm not to sure." Kyo said, looking at the bird.
" Look!" Tohru shouted pointing up to the tree. " that must be its nest," she exclaimed.
Kyo looked up and sure enough there was a nest with small baby birds peeping away happily. Tohru looked down at the baby bird she now held in her hands.
" We should put it back in the nest," she said. " there isn't much we could do for it, and maybe it would be happier with its siblings anyways," she added.
Kyo nodded, agreeing with her. She stood on her tiptoes, but couldn't seem to reach the baby birds nest. Kyo sighed a little, now stretching his arms out to get the bird from Tohru's grasp. When he went to go grab the bird, he grabbed both Tohru's hands on accident. Quickly the red rushed to his and Tohru's faces. He removed his hands from hers and took the bird out of her hands. He carefully placed it back into the nest, before him and Tohru left the park to head home.
The sun had started to go down by the time they had entered the woods to Shigure's house, making the woods dark. Both Kyo and Tohru were silent. Either one not knowing what to say. Kyo looked one way, and Tohru the other. Her arms were wrapped around her body from keeping cold. Kyo noticed this and quickly took of his light blue shirt.
" Here," he said, handing it to her.
" Oh no Kyo-kun I cant! You will get cold."
Kyo only sighed at Tohru's bickering of how cold he would get and how sick he could get. " Just take it okay? Your still sick and we don't need you to get anymore worse then you already have. So please, just take it…"
The last sentence he had said was in a nice tone of voice. Something Tohru didn't hear often. But, she enjoyed it very much. She took the sweat and out it on quickly. She warmed up in no time, and looked over at Kyo to see if he was cold as well. But he didn't seem cold at all. Only a bit confused in his own thoughts.
Tohru stared at him for a moment before Kyo noticed and looked back at her ; making eye contact with her. They both stopped walking and stared at each. Lost in each others gaze, before Kyo broke the stare.
" C'mon, Shigure's house isn't to much further. We should hurry. Its getting chilly outside." he said, now walking again.
Tohru walked behind him. Just staring at him. At that moment, when her and Kyo made eye contact she felt something happen. Her heart had started to skip a few beats. She has also saw something in his eyes. Pain, and confusion. Though, she didn't know why, but she felt as if she needed to be comforted all of a sudden. And something was telling her that Kyo wanted to be the one to comfort her. And even thought it was only a short second that they had stood like that, Tohru couldn't help but think how much she enjoyed it. She whished they were still like that. In the same position as before. Just staring at each other.
" Kyo-kun…"
Kyo stopped and turned to Tohru. " What?" he asked, his voice soft.
She smiled before saying, " Thanks, I had fun today…"
Kyo smiled back. Not saying anything, he turned around and continued to walk.
When they had gotten to the house both Shigure and Yuki were sleeping. This surprised Kyo and Tohru. It was only 9 at night.
" They must have done something…" Kyo said, as he went into the kitchen and flicked on the lights.
The kitchen light illuminated into the living room, revealing Yuki sleeping on the floor. The light just made it to his face and he started to wake up. He blinked his eyes a few times before he saw Kyo standing there with a milk carton above his face.
" Damn cat!" Yuki shouts throwing the remote over at Kyo and hitting him in the head.
Kyo dropped the carton letting milk splash every where and turned to Yuki who was now standing up and entering the kitchen.
" Damn rat! What the hell was that for?" he questioned angrily.
Tohru came running in the kitchen as she heard them start to fight. And once again like always Kyo was throw through the door and landing in the dirt.
Shigure came running down the steps at all the commotion. Seeing his door once again broken he started yelling at Kyo.
" My fault?" Kyo shouted angrily now getting up. " Maybe if the dam rat didn't always have mood swings when he got up none of this would have happened!" he blurted out, his finger directly pointing to Yuki.
" Its rude to point!" Yuki shouted, then turned his attention to Tohru. " Are you okay Ms. Honda?"
" Eh…oh yes I am fine…" she replied now running after Kyo who was leaving.
" Kyo-kun wait!" she shouted.
She grabbed onto his arm, making him come to a complete stop. " What do you want?" he snapped.
" Please don't leave all night Kyo-kun…its okay if you didn't beat Yuki-kun." she said, not trying to make him sound bad.
" No it isn't okay Tohru! You just don't understand. I need to beat him. I have to. Plus…I just hate looking weak in front of you!" Kyo shouted the last sentence louder then all the other ones. And when he realized what he had just said his froze.
Tohru heard his words, but still didn't understand. She looked up into his eyes. Confusion showed in his eyes once again. And pain.
" Kyo," she said. Kyo was surprised not to her add 'kun' at the end of saying his name.
" I don't know why you want to beat Yuki so bad! But I believe you that its for a good reason. But…please…just don't always run when you loose. I don't care if you loose Kyo-kun. And you don't look weak in front of me. Yuki is the one who looks weak in front of me…" she sobbed, tears now coming from her eyes as she admitted something she thought she never would before.
" What do you mean?" he asked, more confusion crossing his mind.
" Yuki always beats you. And when he does he gets pride out of it. That's just showing how weak he is. He has to keep beating the same person over and over. Never taking on another challenge. Never exceeding in something different. Just doing the same thing over and over. Knowing you cant do anything else. Knowing that every thing else is to hard for you. That's how I see Yuki-kun some times Kyo! He knows he is to weak to do anything else. But takes it out on you so you think that you are weak…" Tohru's eyes were still locked with Kyo's making this moment perfect for Kyo.
He bent down a little, a soft smile forming on his face. Then he went even closer.
" What the hell do you think you are doing you damn cat!" Yuki shouted running towards them. Tohru snapped out of her trance and wiped around to see Yuki. " Ms. Honda, what did he do to you?" Yuki asked worried.
" he didn't do anything to me Yuki-kun. You did something to him!" she shouted before running back to the house.
Both Kyo and Yuki stood there. Both shocked by the way Tohru had just acted. Finally Yuki snapped out of the trance and turned back to Kyo.
" What the hell did you do to her?"
" Why do you always assume it was me you damn rat?" Kyo asked, but didn't wait for an answer as he pushed by Yuki and made his way on the top of the house. To his normal spot, the roof.
As Yuki entered the house he saw Tohru leaving from the back way. He new were she was going. She was going to see Kyo. That was obvious. But still, even though he new Tohru and Kyo loved each other he felt like he should have Tohru and not Kyo. Something he intended to get.
She looked up at the roof, only to see Kyo sitting there looking at his hands. She wanted to go up and talk to him so bad. She wanted to tell him every thing was going to be okay. How much she cared for him. How much he had grown on her. And how much she wanted to be with him. And even though she new Kyo was about to kiss her back there, she still didn't feel as if he loved her back. Like, he didn't belong to her.
She shivered as a gust of wind passed by and made her cold. She huddled her arms closer to her and lifted her hands to her face. She looked at her covered hands from Kyo's sweater. The sweater had smelled nice, just like Kyo. She looked up at him once more, a smile crossing her face.
He could feel her, she was watching him. But why? Even though Tohru hadn't pulled away from him when he went to kiss hr, he felt the same way she did. Like she didn't love him back. But then something else was telling him that she did. She admitted something to him that a lot of people wouldn't admit to anyone. But she did, and didn't stop either. He looked up at the sky covered by stars. He then looked over at the moon. He smiled when he heard Tohru humming softly.
It soothed his heart. And he new he loved her, but how to tell her? Something he couldn't answer. He sighed, still listening to Tohru's soft humming before he closed his eyes and let it take him into a soft sleep.
When Tohru saw Kyo slowly lay back on the roof and fall asleep she climbed up. She leaned over him, wiping some hair out of his face. Then she took off his sweater and placed it over him for warmth.
" Good night Kyo-…kun" she said, a smile once again crossing her happy face. She left the roof and went back into the house and into her room.
Sleep then eventually took her over as well as she slipped into a nice sleep.
