Chapter 34: Day Four and Five

Princess Sango

Kyoko was the first to wake up and looked around at the familiar room that was her's and saw Hatori leaning over her. "Ah, you're awake now, feeling better?"

"Y-yes, demo, where's Keiichiro?" Kyoko asked and tried to sit up but Hatori pushed her down.

"He's fine Kyoko-chan, please rest. You've been out for about two days. Counting the day you lapsed that is, Keiichiro is still sleeping though. You must have had a pretty emotional overload for you to lapse this long, I mean, you've still haven't beaten your last record since you were ten of two months, but still."

Kyoko looked away and Hatori quieted himself, waiting for her to speak, "I-I told him what I did, when I was ten. I-I told him about the curse, the legend, everything."

Hatori's deep green eyes looked at her, and they seemed surprised, "You told him everything about us?"

"Hai, I told him everything, and he accepted it all, just like mom. I don't understand, why wouldn't he hate my guts?" Kyoko asked, looking up at Hatori for answers.

"Can't tell you," Hatori answered, shrugging before turning, "I want you to get rest tomorrow, all tomorrow."

"Okay Hatori-jisan," came Kyoko's voice, "Do you know when mom, dad, Kazuki, or even Uncle Yuki will be back?"

Hatori turned around, "They'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Thanks," Kyoko answered, closing her eyes and settling back into her sleepy state.

2 Hours Later…

Keiichiro woke up but didn't find anyone to welcome him back to the world. He tried to remember what had happened but his mind was blank. Struggling he realized he was back in Kyoko's house, so Kyoko should be either in her room or somewhere else. Getting up he walked into Kyoko's room where Kyoko was reading a book. "Keiichiro-san, you're up!"

"Hai, I was wondering if you were okay Kyoko-chan. Also please calling me –san, I don't like to be called that," Keiichiro answered, looking at her, but the line about –san sounded so familiar.

He sat at the edge of her bed, "So how long have we been out for?"

Kyoko looked up from her book, "About two days, counting the day we lapsed. Are you okay, Keiichiro-s…um…"

"I'm fine, are you alright?" he asked, ignoring her mistake.

"I'm feeling better, much better. I didn't know telling someone, who was outside, was going to make me feel so much better,' came her voice, so strong, better than it had been in ten years.

"I'm glad to hear that, so how did we end up here?" asked Keiichiro, looking around Kyoko's room.

"Hatori-jisan somehow got us here. I don't know how, since we were both out cold. Did you want to go watch television?" Kyoko asked looking up at him.

"Wow…you like pink don't you?" Keiichiro asked.

"Yes, I liked it when I was ten, and I need to repaint it soon. What color do you think I should paint it?" Kyoko asked, staring at him and then looked at the pink walls, "I think it's about time to change, maybe for the better."

Keiichiro smiled and hugged her, "I thought you were going to attack me if I came back into your room again."

"I've decided you'll be allowed in, but it only goes out to certain males," Kyoko warned.

Keiichiro laughed and hugged her to him, and allowed her to move against his chest until she was comfortable, "You know what, and I think I fell for you."

"Well my charm may be irresistible, and you might have fallen in my trap," Kyoko joked as she felt arms tighten around her.

"So what if I have, I've fallen for a girl who actually saw me for me, not just a cute boy with popularity," Keiichiro asserted, and then saw Kyoko's mischievous look, "Right?"

Kyoko just laughed and twisted so she was facing him and then buried her head in her chest and laughed. Keiichiro looked slightly confused but when he looked up he saw her face and smiled, "Tricked ya, and I loved you for who you are. You remind me of my brother, so much you know? Only he was slightly meaner sometimes."

Keiichiro looked a little confused but then smiled, "Why don't we go watch television, I'll carry you."

"No, we've got to carry the blankets and pillows down there. Hatori-jisan wants us to rest for the rest of the day and all of tomorrow. My parents will be back by day seven," she answered, as she picked her blanket and pillow and went out of the room.

Keiichiro laughed and then got up and ran after her before running into the room he was staying in and pulling the blanket and pillow off the bed and making his way to the sofa. Kyoko was there pulling out the sofa sleeper and then threw her blanket and pillow on it. Seeing Keiichiro coming she smiled, "Are you hungry?"

"Yes, and I say we have some ramen!" Keiichiro answered, throwing his items on the sofa sleeper.

"Okay then, I'll go make some, you just stay here. I'll go bring snacks too, help yourself to the television," Kyoko answered, leaving her new 'love' to veg out on the couch.

Next Day

Kyoko woke up to be face to face with Keiichiro and she felt his arms around her, "He's so peaceful…"

He stirred slightly and then opened his eyes and smiled, "Thank-you!"

She giggled and sighed, "Yes, you are."

Keiichiro hugged her and then backed away, "I'm glad you're okay Kyoko."

"So what do you want to do on our day of "rest"?" Kyoko asked him and moved some hair out of his eyes.

"Watch television and hold you makes the day slow yet makes me content," Keiichiro whispered as he held her closer while his other hand searched for the remote to prove his point.

"I feel so appreciated, and loved. I know my parents loved me, but it's different, you know?" Kyoko asked, looking at him and smiling.

"I guess, I've never fallen seriously in love since now," Keiichiro whispered into her ear and he felt a shiver go down her spine but then backed away slightly, "I-I'm sorry, Kyoko-chan."

"No, it's okay, I've just never been close before and-" her voice was suddenly cut off when she felt something press against her lips and when he backed away they both were blushing.

The silence was awkward and then finally Keiichiro spoke, "Was I that bad?" Kyoko laughed and kissed him again, "I'll take that as a no."

Blushing they sat up and detangled their arms away from each other, because they heard a door open and Hatori, Yuki, and Ayame enter. "Like I said you guys, we've left them long enough!"

"Ni-san, I know you sent me away so we could go on some random cruise but I think you planned this after you heard that Tohru-san and Kyo-san was going out too," came Yuki's voice.

"Will both of you be quiet? They might be resting like I told them to."

"I doubt it Tori, they are two teens that can fall blissfully in love, like Tohru and Kyo!" came Ayame's dramatic voice.

Both teens who were within hearing reach were blushing and Kyoko was muttering, "I knew it, they were planning it."

Ayame was the first to enter the living room and saw Kyoko first and raced up and hugged her, "Hi there Kyoko-chan, it is me, Ayame-jisan!"

Kyoko hugged him and then turned to Keiichiro, "Keiichiro-chan, this is Ayame-sama, he is the head of the family now."

"Hi Ayame-sama," Keiichiro answered and then looked back at Kyoko.

Hatori and Yuki were the next ones to come inside the room, "Oh, and Keiichiro-chan, this is my Uncle Yuki."

Keiichiro bowed his head in greeting and then told Hatori a simple hi and Kyoko looked at Uncle Yuki, "So where did you go with Ayame-jisan Uncle Yuki?"

Yuki gave her a smile, "Some random cruise."

Kyoko nodded before turning to Hatori, "See, we're following your orders, we're resting."

Hatori nodded and then sat down on the edge of the bed, "That's good to hear you two. When I found you lapsed like that, it was quite a shock, but now I see why." Hatori placed his hand up and then shook his head, "Don't ask questions, this is more of Fate and Destiny's doing. They won't be home till tomorrow though."

Kyoko leaned back against Keiichiro and he awkwardly wrapped his arms around her and then closed his eyes from the stares they received. "See Tori, I told you that would happen, just like Kyo and Tohru. I remember that one, Tori knew more about their relationship from the start!"

Kyoko blushed slightly but didn't move form Keiichiro's warm embrace, "So Ayame-jisan, are you going to stay here tonight?"

Ayame shook his head, "No, I'm right in the main house, I'll stay there, but I'll be back to welcome Kyo and Tohru. Well I bet I have to go now, so I'll see you guys. Ciao!"

When Ayame left Yuki slumped on the bed, "Finally, free, a week is now over. No offence to Ni-san but he always gives me a headache."

Kyoko laughed from her spot, "So was this planned?"

"Unintentionally yes," came Yuki's voice from where he lay.

"See, I told you!" Kyoko shrieked back at Keiichiro.

"I need to hear you know," came his voice.

Kyoko giggled and wrapped her arms around him, "Yes, I see that."

Keiichiro smiled at her and then turned back to the two family members who were watching the amusing scene. Both teens were blushing and then watched as Hatori started to explain that he was going to give them a check up and then leave.
