Chapter Four

The kiss…the feel of his lips on hers; that was all she could think about as she continued her housework. Well, that and…

+FLASHBACK OF LAST NIGHT+

"K-Kyo…?" Tohru gasped, a little short of breath from the liplock. He only gave her a small and almost sad smile, gently brushing the hair from her face and hoping his eyes would give some clue about the feelings he harbored from her.

"I…" He began, searching for the right words, "I have to tell you something important…when I'm ready to." Tohru could only look at him, for she too, wasn't sure what to say next. But the silence was becoming too much for him.

"Kyo-"

"I'm sorry!" He forced out, quickly giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before rushing out of the kitchen.

+END FLASHBACK+

Should I go talk to him? Tohru thought, sitting at the table in the living room, 'but if I do, what should I say?' Ever since the incident in the kitchen, things seemed to be tense between her and Kyo. He had trouble looking her in the eye when she greeted him in the morning.

Ironically it was almost exactly like the incident with Kyo and Yuki at the Sohma lake house two years ago…only this time the tension was a lot worse. What should I do? Tohru kept asking herself over and over again, the pages of her book becoming a blur. What should I—

"Dammit!" Kyo screamed under his breath as he suddenly burst through the room breaking the door for the fifth tome that week, "where the hell are those things!"

"S-Something wrong Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked, startled, looking up from her studies to see an angry and bewildered Kyo stomping all over the room. What is he wearing…? She tried to suppress a laugh.

"I lost something, that's all," he muttered, "nothing you should be concerned about, and for god's sake don't you dare laugh!" Tohru wasn't sure what Kyo was talking about but decided not to push it further.

"Okay," she said, mustering up the best smile she could, "but if you need help with anything just tell me!"

"Uh huh…" he muttered back just as his eyes landed on his arch rival. "You! Rat-boy!" Kyo growled.

"What are you senselessly gonna blame me about now?" Yuki asked coolly. Kyo's eyes widened a bit and he sweat-dropped. How did he…? "Grrrrgh…" Kyo shook his head wildly, "So you did take them! Tell me where they are!" He demanded.

"What's wrong with you? What are you talking about?"

"Don't lie to me you rat! I know you took them!"

"Took what?" Yuki started to get annoyed. Kyo got even more agitated. Damn…of all the times…He didn't want to say this in front of Tohru, it was just too embarrassing. But what choice does he have?

"Damn Rat!" Kyo grumbled. Making me say this in front of her! "I'm talking about my pants stupid! Where did you hide them, spit it out!" Tohru choked on her water. Kyo was now red in the face and Yuki had a mean smirk on his.

"Don't ask me, it's your fault for misplacing them stupid cat. You really shouldn't blame others for your clumsy mistakes."

"Why you-!"

"Now now, please try not to destroy my house again if you're going to fight," Shigure interrupted from his office, "I swear, you kids are so loud I can't concentrate on my work."

"You never do anyway!" Kyo snapped back.

"Mmmph…" Shigure just realize the state Kyo was in. "Bwahahaha! Kyo, what on earth are you wearing!"

"SHUT UP! If that damn rat hadn't stolen my favorite pants I wouldn't be in this mess!"

"I told you I didn't."

"Did so!"

"Well Kyo, I know you have more than just one pair," Shigure started. At least I hope he does…"So why don't you wear one of you other ones?"

Kyo was silent.

"Stupid cat, don't you ever do your own laundry?" Kyo glared at Yuki once more, "You shut up! It's none of your damn busi—!"

"Omigosh! That's right I forgot to do the laundry!" Tohru gasped, standing up. This is bad…most of Kyo's clothes haven't been washed yet!

"I-I'm sorry Kyo, I completely forgot!" Oh no, now he'll really be mad!

"H-Hey!" Kyo started, "It's not you fault so don't wor—"

"I'll go get started on it now!" Tohru finished, and with that, she was out the door.

"Dammit..." Kyo muttered. By this time Shigure had already gone, but Yuki was still shaking his head.

"Stupid cat, you can't even you your own laundry; you make Tohru do it all the time."

"Rrrrgh…" Kyo turned ready to hit him, "Stay out of it!" But instead, he hit the wall, and went in the direction Tohru had gone.

In the landry room...

I'm such an idiot…Tohru thought to herself sadly. Because of me Kyo had to walk around the house like that. He must be really mad at me now. She sighed, putting in the detergent.

It's bad enough with what happened in the kitchen, and now this…why do I always mess things up? She paused at the thought.

…and the kitchen incident…I can't get my mind off of it. Did that kiss…did it mean anything? It doesn't even seem like he remembers it at all…it was probably just a fluke or something…yeah, just a coincidence. A coincidence…that I wish was meant and supposed to happen…She sighed again bitterly.

"Tohru!"

"Eek!" She jumped in surprise, "K-Kyo-kun! You startled me…"

"What are you doing?" He asked, in an almost exasperated tone.

Oh no…he's mad. "I-I was doing your laundry…I'm s-sorry, it just slipped my mind," she said softly, bowing her head. Kyo slapped a hand to his face. "Argh…that's not what I meant to say."

"Eh?"

"I meant…augh…" Why is this always so hard? "What I meant to say was…you don't have to do all this for us. It's not your duty or anything, not that we don't like it when you do that but…I mean…damn it what am I even saying!" While Kyo was fussing over himself, a small smile plastered itself across Tohru's face.

He's trying to cheer me up…

"But y'know," Kyo suddenly said, his hand finding it's way onto her shoulder, pushing her back slightly against the washing machine, "you already do a lot for us…especially…especially for me. You'll…never know just how much it means to me…everything…"

"K…Kyo…kun?" Tohru's heart beat faster and faster as Kyo's face got closer and closer to hers. It's happening again…is he…? Is he going to kiss me again…?

"Tohru…," Kyo whispered, his lips just inches from hers. Both their eyes began to drift shut. "I…"

Suddenly, mid-kiss, Kyo felt something tingle on his nose. What the hell…? Opening his eyes slightly, they soon widened at the large foaming mountain that was about to engulf them. "HOLY SHIT!"

"Ehhh!" Tohru opened her eyes too, upon hearing Kyo's scream and…the feeling of something wet. She slowly turned around.

"AHHH!"

"What the—just how much detergent did you put in there?"

"I only put one scoop; the box must have fallen in behind me!"

"Tohru get outta there!" Kyo yelled grabbing her hand and snatching her away from the washing machine.

"Come on!"

"What on earth is all that—yaaah!" Shigure gasped at the sight of the hall way, "Where did all these bubbles come from!" Yuki was equally as shocked, though it didn't quite show as much on his face.

"What did that stupid cat do?"

"Hey! You want some of this?" Kyo growled shaking his fist at Yuki, while still grasping Tohru's hand with the other. Tohru was in a dazed state. The laundry…the hall way…the house…gotta…clean up…

Kyo took one look at Tohru and groaned as he reverted his eyes to mess on their hands. What a damn way to ruin the moment…

TBC...
