Vignette Four: Crazy
Summary: It's crazy how love can make a person act. And I am crazy in love with her.
Author's Notes: Well, this is the last one I have that's already written. Due to my very busy schedule, I won't have much time to write many more. So here's the deal. Five reviews and I'll write a new one within the next few weeks. Ten reviews and you'll have a new one within two weeks, the soonest I can promise anything. How does that sound? Oh, and I randomly post longer one-shots here about this pairing, so check for those if I don't get around to adding more here. ;)
This addition is told from Kyo's PoV. Enjoy!

She's so very beautiful. I can't stop looking at her. Her hair, her eyes, her skin, her lips, her fingers, her arms…everything. She's just perfect. And she's mine.
I never would have thought it possible. We used to fight all the time. I'd get angry every time I saw her. I'd turn and walk away before she could get close. But, as fate would have it, that anger turned to excitement…excitement to nervousness…nervousness to anxiousness. I'd become frustrated when I couldn't see her, when someone stepped into my line of sight of cut off my view. It was stupid at the time, but I didn't understand what was happening.
And then, one night when I met up with her, Tohru, and Hanajima at the store, she and I got into a huge fight. It was mostly my fault, I knew. I called her stupid. And of course she had to stand up for herself. That's what I had been counting on. But things got out of hand. She dragged me outside. That's when I started to worry. We screamed at each other. And then she stepped right up to my face. I thought she was going to slap me or something. But she kissed me. And I didn't push her away.
I didn't even try to stop. That was what I had been waiting for. And right then, I was in heaven. It was as she slipped her tongue between my lips that I realized that I had progressed from a silly crush to something much bigger. I was in love with her. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this young woman. Where her hands were touching my face I my skin burned with pleasure. That was right. That was so very right.
Even now, years later, I'm still amazed that I can kiss her whenever I want. I can't hug her, though. Yet, anyway. She did, of course, find out about the curse. There was no hiding that. But she just laughed. Said it made sense, that she suddenly understood so much more about me. And loved me all the better for it.
My dear Arisa. I've decided to propose to her. I don't care what the family thinks, what Akito thinks. I avoided him after graduation, won freedom with help from my master, and I could do it again. He wouldn't hurt her…not if I could help it. He would never, ever take her away from me. I'd sooner kill myself, and I have no intention of doing so any time in the future.
It's crazy how love can make a person act. And I am crazy in love with her.
