Chapter 22: Kisa, Kagura, and Yuki

Princess Sango

Kyo-san kissed Tohru's head and smiled, as she calmed down, "You've got me today, for the whole day, what do you want to do?"

"What about the kids, Kyo?" Tohru asked, wiping the last few remnants of tears away.

"Oh, that rat could look after them for awhile, after all I want to be with you today," Kyo-san said, purring into her ear.

Tohru smiled up at him, loosening her grip around her waist. Kyo-san let her get up and go to the bathroom as he got up himself and went through his side of the dresser and started to pick out some clothes. He decided on a loose pair of baggy pants and a black shirt, like he always wears. Kyo-san then sat on the bed, waiting for Tohru to get out so he could brush his teeth and hair. When Tohru did come out she looked like she was a teen again, in a short yellow skirt and a flower-pattern blue shirt. Kyo-san smiled at her, "Nothing's changed."

Tohru smiled and nodded, "Nothing has with you either, Kyo."

Kyo-san got up and hugged her before walking into the bathroom and started to brush his teeth and hair. When he walked out, Tohru was already gone, probably downstairs making breakfast for everyone. Wonder what they would say when they saw Tohru in a skirt? After all Tohru hadn't worn a skirt that short in eight years. Kyo-san decided to find out as he walked into the kitchen to see four people sitting around the table, the extra person, being Kisa. "Hi there Kisa."

Kisa looked up at them, "Hi Kyo-san…"

Kyo-san sat down at the table and looked at everyone who stared at Tohru. Kyoko blinked and looked at her father's smug little look. "Dad what is that look for?"

Kyo-san looked at his daughter, "Well it looks like everyone is looking at Tohru."

Kyoko nodded, "We're just surprised, since you came along it seemed that mom's, well I don't know, normal self is back? We never knew her this carefree, and the only people who would is our uncles, grandpas, and aunts."

Kyo-san smiled and nodded, "Yeah, hey Kisa, what are you doing here?"

Kisa looked up at Kyo-san and smiled, "I just came to see how sissy is doing, and she invited me inside."

Kyo-san nodded but hoped his plans weren't ruined for the day. Kyo looked up at Kisa, "How long are you staying?"

"Just for awhile, Hiro-chan wanted me to go with him somewhere," Kisa answered shyly looking away.

Kyo-san looked confused, when had she listened to that brat? Looking at her hand a glimpse of a diamond ring showed and glimmered. "A-are you married Kisa?"

"Hm, no I'm engaged," Kisa answered meekly.

Tohru laughed, "Yup, and you have been since you were, what, 16?"

Kisa blushed even more, but nodded, "You know me well sissy."

Tohru smiled at her and nodded, sitting down, placing the food onto the table. Sitting on Kyo-san's lap, looking up at him innocently, "We're not staying after breakfast, so anyone have anything to say?"

Everyone looked at Tohru, who they couldn't believe was so subtle, yet happy in the lap of Kyo-san. No one said a word and started eating, but half-way into the meal Kisa excused herself from the house, saying she had to meet Hiro really early. No one really said much but Tohru showed her out and returned to see everyone gone except Kyo-san. "Everyone said they had to do something around the house, so we can go now."

Tohru nodded, standing up and walking out of the kitchen and into the front door area and slipped on her shoes. Kyo-san followed and just slipped on his shoes too and then waited for Tohru, who soon opened the door and they both walked out of the estate together.

They were walking down the streets with no destination when they bumped into Kagura. Who was with Yuki? Kagura smiled at them and looked at Kyo-san, "Oh, you haven't changed one bit Kyo-Kyo!"

Kyo-san looked at Kagura, who used on of his many nicknames, but most of all her calmness about the whole thing. Wasn't she going to beat him up? Wasn't Kagura going to tell him that he shouldn't have had children with Tohru? What happened over eight years to her? Kyo didn't ask though, as he only smiled, holding onto Tohru's hands.

Yuki looked up at Kyo-san and smiled, "Surprised? Kagura-san's anger has gone down since you left. We're dating in fact."

Kagura smiled, looking at Yuki, "Yun-kun, why don't we go to the movies? Kyo-san, Tohru-chan, why don't you go too? It'll be like when we were seventeen again, well for you, I was nineteen then. Now I'm twenty-seven and you guys are twenty-five, come on, what do you say?"

"Sure, I'd love to go see a move Kagura-san, which one though?" Tohru asked.

"Oh, I was thinking about the new anime movie, Full Metal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shambala, you?" Kagura asked.

Everyone agreed and they made their way to the movie theatre and found great seats. That's when Tohru and Yuki decided to get some snacks before the movie started, and they had twenty minutes to spare, so they left, leaving Kagura and Kyo-san there alone. Kyo-san looked at Kagura, "So you're going out with Yuki now?"

"Hm, oh, yeah we are, we've been going out for about four years now. We did this in secret though, so Akito wouldn't know, we were afraid he might punish Tohru-chan because Yuki was in Tohru's house. He couldn't allow anything else to happen to Tohru, so we met late at night."

Kyo-san nodded, "So what happened to your obsession with me?"

"Oh, I figured I wasn't wanted like that from you, so I moved on, and what do you know? Yuki-kun just happens to be the one who knew exactly how I felt! We were a perfect couple, both comforting each other and everything," Kagura answered, a dreamy haze over her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Kyo-san asked, slightly confused.

"Well, Yuki liked Tohru too, and when he found out that she was having your children…he was crushed. So four years down the road we started dating, but in between that time, all his energy went towards helping Tohru-chan with the kids, but when things settled, he wanted someone to look to for love, as was I. So we hooked up, confessed about the people we had loved. It was a great comfort, and now to this very day, is the fourth year we've been going out," Kagura explained, looking at Kyo-san.

She smiled, "It's great to see you though Kyo-Kyo, Tohru needs someone like you in her life. I would've been over more, if it wasn't for that retched rule, but it's okay, really. Kyoko and Kyo-chan are so kawaii, that when I did see them, I was slightly jealous, because I want kids too. You're lucky Kyo-Kyo, your kids are wonderful."

Kyo-san smiled and than looked at her, "I'm sorry Kagura-san, but you knew I didn't love you that way right."

Kagura looked a little disheartened but nodded, "Yes, I knew, I knew all along but I didn't want to believe it. Yet when it was Tohru who came crying to me too, asking for help, I couldn't. I was so upset with you and her, but later I forgave you two and tried to help her. By then, I had given up on you, but wasn't sure where to go into life. I remember when Yuki and I met in the garden once…"

Flashback…

Kagura was sitting in one of the many garden plots in Sohma estate, thinking, meditating. When someone came up to her, "Kagura-san, what are you doing here?"

A small smile yet sad smile crept on her face, "I'm thinking, thinking about my future. About what I have to do with my life."

Yuki sat down next to her, and hugged her, "You've got to move on Kagura-san, I've been moving on too. I loved Honda-san too, but Kyo beat me to her."

Kagura looked up at Yuki, who looked so upset, but still living, still living with Tohru, but why? "Why would you live with the person you loved Yuki-kun? Wouldn't you be mad?"

Yuki shook his head, "I could never be mad at Honda-san, never."

"Why not Yuki-kun?" Kagura asked, even more confused.

"I can't because I love her as a sister now, and I have two kids that look up to me. I couldn't handle it if they didn't have some manly figure to look up to. I owe the cat that much," Yuki answered, bitter-sweet.

Kagura hugged Yuki, "We were both put down by our loves, huh?"

Yuki smiled, "Yes, yes we were, but we have to move past this roadblock."

Kagura looked up at him, "I don't know if I can."

"Then we'll try together, would you like to go out some time? I have free time tomorrow at ten in the morning. What do you say?" Yuki asked her, hoping she would say yes.

"Okay, sure, tomorrow at ten, do you want me to come there or?" Kagura asked.

"No, it's not safe anywhere, meet me outside the estate, where no one, like Akito can find out," Yuki answered.

"Okay, Yun-kun."

End Flashback.

Yuki and Tohru had just gotten back and before anything else could be said, they sat down and watched the movie.
