A/N-Thanks to the reviewers, this was suppose to be a one shot, but you've made me happy enough to make it longer. I don't know when I'll end it, but this is a happier story than some of my others. REVIEW some more and if u have any ideas or criticism I'd be happy to hear them.
Chapter 5
I wander into the basement of Kyo's small house and smile sadly at all the photos of us he has hanging from string. On the floor are purple and red beanbags tossed comfortably in front of the T.V. and there's a small waterfall in the corner. It's a safe haven for us. I snuggle down into the red beanbag and just reminisce about the old days when he and I would sneak kisses at school or hold hands when Miss Honda had to work. Tohru had promised to help me find a ring perfect for our favorite kitten before he was thought to be dead, I wonder if she'll keep that promise. I close my eyes and just let myself float into memories of when we were happy as you train outside. I hadn't wanted to let you out of my sights, but you scowled flashing a bit of your temper and ordered me to go search the house or something. I glance at the corner where an annoying, bright light kept interrupting my thoughts and smile with delight. It's a small garden with strawberries, roses, and oddly enough leeks.
Laughing I recall the one time that you stormed over to my garden as I was working and nearly destroyed it with your temper tantrum just because I decided your breakfast wasn't green enough. I roll into a ball and run my fingers over the closets photo of us. I remember it clearly, Tohru had to beg you to take it and finally you stood there with one hand moodily on your hip and the other arm slung over my shoulders while scowling as I smirked with my arms crossed over my chest. How Tohru out of all people ever found out we were dating first is still my guess? She isn't dumb, just not the most observant. Kazuma even had to ask you to take a picture with me at his place and you gave him your best imitation of puppy eyes not knowing I was watching. He refused and got the most beautiful picture of you. Standing in the sunlight with your arms protectively around my waist, you truly looked like an angel. I remember clearly the night Ayame and Shigure found out, they stormed into your room and began laughing because you were curled up around me like a small child. Of course you threaten to beat them within an inch of their life it they told anyone. I frown when one picture catches my eye. It's of you and Haru. You two were never close from what I know of yet here you two are laying on the grass so close you could be lovers and the laughter in your eyes mocks me.
I scrambled to my feet and ran to the door barely taking the time to notice that you were already inside sitting on the couch reading the newspaper. "What was going on between you two," I demand furious that someone else had gotten that close to you and you raise an eyebrow inquiring, "Who the hell are you talking about?" Your tone is bordering anger and accusation. "Haru," I yell and you jump to your feet with a look that blames me for even thinking. "There's nothing going on between us or has there ever been. He and I are friends. He doesn't know I'm alive and I want to tell him myself," you state and I know now that you're accusing me of being jealous. "But the picture," I protest and your scarlet orbs laugh just like they did in the photo. "Kazuma caught us off guard one day when we both skipped school and went to his place to train together. We were talking about you. He congratulated me on finally waking up and realizing what my feelings for you actually were. He and I were close so that the others wouldn't over hear. The monster can't love," you growl and I hold you close muttering about how sorry I am for not believing your loyalty.
We sit down by the fireplace and looking away you admit, "I had a fling once with someone else in the family. It was a long time ago. I was maybe fourteen and was just visiting Shigure. It was with Hatori." My jaw drops and leaning over you so that I can stare down at your flushing face I ask, "How long did it last? Did he take it?" I knew for a fact that Kyo wasn't a virgin when we first do it, he told me that much but I didn't press with whom and he knew that I was. "Three months and yes I loss my virginity to him. By the second week, he had me in his bed. He loves me, Yuki, still, and he never mentioned a word to Ayame or Shigure. He let me go because he loves me so much," he says sadly and I hug him because I can tell he doesn't like the fact he caused the man so much pain. It does explain why they acted so distant at Shigure's and the unexplainable glances they shared. Hari's of longing, Kyo's of sorrow. "Any other lovers I don't know about," I ask and blushing he shakes his head. "Unless you count the kiss Momiji stole from me on my birthday as a joke and Kagura's advances, no. You and Hari are the only ones I've ever loved that much." Curiosity wins over and I wonder, "Why did you and Hatori end?" He smiles with a small shrug and states, "I loved him, but I wasn't in love with him. I still love him; I'd do anything for him except be his lover again. I fell in love with you." I smile and know I'm radiating happiness as I crush his body against mine. "I love you, Kyo Sohma." He nods and he pulls out his wallet showing me the portrait like photo of him and Hatori. He flips the sheet over and on the other side is a photo of us. In another slot is a photo of Kazuma with Allessandro. "Hatori will want to be invited to the wedding. I know he didn't care to hear of Kana's, but he'll want to hear of ours," you say and I see the guilt in your eyes. "Kyo, what's wrong," I ask with concern heavily lacing my voice and you shyly admit, "He loved Kana, he told me that so many times. But as much as he loved her, he still wanted me. He couldn't give his whole heart to her because of me and I hated that."
"Fourteen is awfully young to lose your virginity," I comment trying to make him at least smile and he nods with his eyes holding no regrets. "I loved him enough to give it to him, he actually made me feel human." I sigh and rest my head against his chest not judging him or accusing him. "I'm glad you told me, Kyo," I whisper and he laughs shifting so that we can both lie more comfortably. Still one thing bothers me, how did they not get caught?
