Looking up at the clock tower, Kagura notes the time- Just before 11:00 Am. Tohru had called her last night and asked if she wanted to meet and have lunch together that day. Now she was sitting by the fountain waiting patiently swinging her legs. Humming a tune, She wonders…
Tohru and Kyou had been holding hands as they walked towards the town. Kyou of course had been fussing about it, trying to act like it didn't worry him, even though he had a rough expression on his face.
Looking up, Kyou spots Kagura sitting on the other side of the fountain and glances at Tohru, who was already looking at him a worried expression on her face.
They had sat up last night, talking about their newfound status. Kyou had surprisingly brought up Yuki's feelings, and they decided that Kagura as well as Yuki had to be told… gently of course, about them being together.
Letting go of Kyou's hand, Tohru walks on, Kyou following her lead. Walking around to where Kagura sat, Tohru greets her with a smile.
"Ohayo Kagura san"
"Ah! Ohayo Tohru…"
Kagura replies, but stops seeing Kyou standing behind her. Tohru flustered, and squeezed her hands together.
"Annou… Kyou decided he'd walk me to town, so I invited him as well…"
Tohru's words were in vain as Kagura sped past her in an effort to capture an already running Kyou and squeeze the life out of him.
Sweating nervously, Tohru squeezes her hands together. Suddenly, she had lost her nerve. How on earth could she possibly do this and hurt Kagura's feelings… it wasn't her… She… She would… She couldn't…
After Kagura had gotten over her temperamental love for Kyou, they had found a café where they could sit down and eat. They had already eaten their main meal and were now scanning the menu for dessert.
Tohru had already decided she couldn't take Kyou from Kagura, nor had Kyou spoken up about them. They were sitting around a round table, Kagura, Kyou and Tohru amusing themselves with small talk.
Reaching under the table casually Kyou touches Tohru's hand then grabs it and holds it firmly. Tohru's eyes widened, and she looked at Kyou with a worried expression on her face. She tried t shake her head and tell him silently not too, but he wasn't looking at her…
"Oui, Kagura…"
Looking up from the Menu, Kagura smiles meekly. Kyou faltered for a moment, then growled and just let it all out.
"We're a couple…"
Tohru freaked out at the roughness of his tone, and attempted to soften it with her own words.
"Annou… that is… what Kyou meant to say is…"
There was no way to soften the wound against Kagura. Lowering her eyes Tohru sniffs. Looking between Kyou and Tohru, Kagura looks down also.
She had loved Kyou since forever, and knew Kyou loved her, just not in the same way she did. He knew that she loved him though, but Kagura knew Kyou needed more than her.
As well as the fact that she had abandoned him when he had needed her most. At that time… he had forgiven her, but he needed more than her caring hand extended…
She looked up and touched Tohru's hand, smiling as she held Kyou's other hand.
"I don't mind if you and Kyou are together. I hope you're both doing what makes you happy. Iieyo…"
She turned to Kyou – her heart beating as she let the Kawaii Neko she loved go.
"I still love you Kyou. I always knew you weren't IN love with me… I just hope you keep me close…"
Standing up, Kagura motions for Tohru to follow her. Standing up, Tohru bows slightly to Kyou and leaves the shop with Kagura.
Outside, Kagura wandered down the street glancing in shop windows, then stopped out the front of a pet store. She tapped gently on the glass, attracting the attention of the kittens on display in the window.
"I hope you take care of Kyou for me…"
Kagura smiled and toyed with the kitten.
"When he needed me most… I let him down. Please don't give up on him… don't abandon him like I did. He needs… someone like you… "
Turning to Tohru, Kagura tilts her head to one side and laughs softly. Tohru smiles weakly, surprised that Kagura took it so well. Bowing, Tohru sniffs back her tears.
"H… Hai… I… don't understand but I will try…"
Nodding, Kagura turns and waves. It was painful, but if it had been anyone other than Tohru she wouldn't have allowed it.
"Say goodbye to Kyou for me…"
"H… Hai desu… take care Kagura san…"
Hurrying off, Kagura reaches up and rubs the tears from her eyes…
The sun was setting as Kyou and Tohru returned home. Reaching the porch, they sit on the edge and stare out at the sunset. Reaching for Tohru's hand, Kyou pulls it over and rests it on his knee.
Looking at her hand, he raises his view to her knees, the hem of her skirt, her thighs and stomach, and then raised his gaze to look at her side on.
"I think I should be alone when I tell Yuki Kun about us…"
Tohru suggests, Breaking Kyou's slightly dangerous thoughts. He snapped his gaze to the garden, his mood gone sour realizing Tohru's thoughts were of that rat…
"After all… with you there… he might get annoyed with you…"
Tohru continues, trailing off worried Kyou would snap himself…
"N… Nani…! That kuso nezumi!"
Kyou bristled with anger, squeezing Tohru's hand in the process. She winced and staring at him with a fear that he might hurt her.
"G… Gomen…"
He strokes her hand and kisses it before letting it go and starting to stand up. She reached out and grabbed his shirt, pulling him back down.
"Don't go…"
Looking at her, Kyou goes red and sighs. She was so beautiful to him he couldn't help himself. She returned his gaze, and reached for his hand not breaking their gaze.
Holding it to her cheek, Tohru let Kyou pull her closer to him and kiss her. Withdrawing, he presses his forehead to hers and smiles.
Watching the Shadows and hearing the words through the screens from inside the house, Yuki's draw falls open and he drops the glass of water he had just gotten from the kitchen.
He had heard everything… but was it as he was lead to believe, or was it a joke… Uso deshou? Right…?
