"So your leg is really okay?" Kyo asked as Lira stretched her legs for Hatori. "No more cast or cane?"
"No, Not anymore. Lira has fully recovered as well as the wounds on her back. It's as if they were never there." Hatori said, "You can stop stretching now, Lira."
"Aw don't tell her stop Hatori. I like the view." Said Shigure
"Hello, Mom today is a special day. It's June 25th and Lira's leg has finally healed." Tohru thought as she set the tea on table
"That's incredibly disgusting, Shigure." Said Yuki hitting him on the head.
"Damn you Shigure, she's your niece! Not one of those whores you sleep with!" yelled Kyo
"Everyone here is in high sprits, today because were going out to celebrate." Tohru thought sitting on the couch.
"Have you slept with Lira Kyo?" Shigure asked
"GAH! That's none of your business! As if I sleep with Lira!" Kyo stopped and thought about what he just said then looked at Lira "That's not what I meant Lira! What I meant to say was"
"I know what you mean Kyo. It's alright." She said smiling as she sat down next to Hatori. "Shigure can I have the newspaper please?" Lira asked as she took out her glasses and put them on.
"Of course here you are." Said Shigure.
He handed her the newspaper and she began to read when Lira noticed Tohru looking at her.
"Tohru?"
"I see it now." Said Tohru slowly
"See what exactly Tohru?" Hatori asked looking up from a book he was reading
"Well I was never able to see it before." Said Tohru "everyone said Lira looked like a girl version of Hatori, with white hair, but now that their sitting next to each other with their glasses on. I can see that she does look like Hatori."
"She use to act like me too." said Hatori smiling a little
"Oh, yes I remember that." said Shigure. "Lira wanted respect when she was very young…I'd say about 6 or 7 and she noticed everyone respected Hatori, so she started to act like him."
"Yes but…I would separate myself from others." Lira said resting her head on her hand "Until…I met Yuki."
Yuki blushed slightly and said, "I didn't do anything really…."
"You see Tohru I met Yuki a horrible time of his life. I'm sure he told you how our secret was almost found out…well why Hatori was gone to take care of the Yuki's friends. Hatori made me stay behind and comfort Yuki…I did the exact opposite."
"What are you crying for?" Lira asked looking at Yuki "your friends will forget and everything will be fine."
"Why do you talk like you know everything?" yuki asked wiping his eyes
"Because I'm older than you." Lira said simply
"Yeah! By a year!" Yuki exclaimed. "Lira…why do you pretend?"
"What?" she turned around to face him "what are you talking about?"
"I see you all the time. You don't have any friends and you follow Hatori a lot." Said Yuki "I see how you pretend to be him. You look like a girl version of him."
"I'm not pretending, this who I am!" Lira yelled
"Is it?" yuki asked looking at her "Is it really?"
"After that I spent time with Yuki a lot and then I met Kyo when he challenged Yuki to a fight." Said Lira
"Would you not recall that…"Kyo whispered
"Oh! Please do go on! It's such a lovely story!" Tohru exclaimed.
"Can I tell her then Kyo?" Lira asked in sweet voice. Kyo just grunted and Lira smiled "Okay! Well what happened was one day Yuki and I were playing when suddenly Kyo came out of no where and well…tried to attack Yuki."
"But, the fool accidentally hit Lira instead of Yuki." Said Hatori "He jumped from out of the trees and Lira got in front of yuki to tag him but instead she got kicked in the back." Hatori looked at Kyo and Kyo moved away from Hatori "Lira wouldn't stop crying until Kyo finally said that he was sorry."
"I only said it so she would shut up and she still acts like a-ow!" Lira hit Kyo over the head with her newspaper "what the hell was that for?"
"I am not a cry baby." She said defensively
"Yes you are! You were crying all over me when-ow! Would you stop that?" yelled Kyo, but then he saw the look in Lira's eyes and saw she was holding back tears "hey, you ok?"
"I challenge you to a fight Kyo." She said keeping her voice steady "I need practice anyway, I have to fight Kagura soon."
"Lira, calm down." Said Kyo getting up. "We don't have to-"
"What's wrong Kyo? Afraid to get beaten by a girl?" asked Lira
"You know I don't hit girls!" yelled Kyo "We'll be back in an hour or so."
Kyo grabbed Lira's wrist and dragged her out of the house.
"An hour?" Shigure repeated after he heard the door slam. "Is that how long Kyo lasts?"
Hatori threw is book at Shigure hitting him square in the face.
"Should've kept his mouth shut…" Yuki said
"What the hell is your problem?" Kyo yelled at Lira when they were far away from the house "Why are you challenging me?"
"Because I want prove I'm not a crybaby!" she yelled back
"Ok, but you don't have to be a bitch about it!"
"I'm not being a bitch!"
Kyo smiled at her and Lira growled and tried to punch him but Kyo caught her fist.
"You've gotten slow." He said with a smirk
"You've gotten lucky." She said
"Of course I have." He put his hand on her waist and pulled her close to him "I have you don't I?"
"Mhm." She said blushing
He then kissed her softly and she gladly returned it. Lira felt his tongue begging for entry and she welcomed it by opening her mouth and letting her tongue dance with his. The kiss is became more passionate as he pressed her against a tree. She moaned into his mouth as he kissed her deeply and massaged her tongue with his own. His lips slowly left her mouth and went down to her neck and began kissing it. Lira's shot open and she pushed him away.
"What's wrong?" he asked looking at her.
"N-Nothing, I was just…thinking maybe we should get back…" she said not looking at him
"Lira, is there something you want to tell me?" he asked taking her into his arms.
"No, no nothing. Let's just go back." She said holding his hand and leading him back"Kyo and I been taking things slow since we've been back together. We've been doing make out sessions for a long time but…when he gets to my neck I freak out because... it's what Akito does…but" she looked at Kyo and he looked at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked
"Because I love you." she said
"But Kyo's not like Akito…Kyo's right, I am a crybaby."
