Disclaimer: I don't own anything...except maybe this shirt I'm wearing...Nope, It'a a friends...I'm so alone...

Author's note: I wuff this chapter. Wrote it straight from my heart. And added my own, personal fantasy. Was going to be dirtier, but, I decided it's a little uncalled for right now. Yeah, plus this chapter is kinda long...well, longer than I normally write, because I was really bored Thursday, and just decided to continue the chapter instead of cutting it off short. Besides, it just wouldn't have made sense...Enjoy .

Chapter 7: Alone?

When they arrived at the house, Shigure was gone. Kyo made a rude comment about tattling, and Sakura laughed lightly, not getting what he meant. She took the suitcase upstairs to the room that she spent the night in and layed it on the floor. She looked down and noticed that she was still in the robe that Kyo had let her borrow. He lifted the collar to her nose and took in the smell slowly. It smelled nice, not the way that she would have thought the boy to smell. She laughed to herself, and was caught off gaurd by Yuki who had entered the room.

"I'm going to pick Tohru up from her friend's house," he said smiling, "Do you want to come with me?"

"Is it alright if I stay? I could really use a shower," Sakura said, "I mean, if it's alright.."

"Of course," Yuki siad smiling, "Kyo will probably spend most of his time downstairs, and I don't consider him one to be a peeping tom.."

"Oh, I'm not worried about him," Sakura said smiling. Yuki left after giving her instructions on the shower, where the towels were, and giving her a goodbye. She went into the bathroom, not forgetting to let Momo in. If she didn't, the dog would probably knock down the door with love. She took off the robe and got into the walk-in shower. She turned it on mostly hot water, probably left after Shigure's shower. She shampooed her hair and scrubbed all of the blood off of her body. It felt nice to be clean again. She sank down to the floor of the shower to relax.

"Oi, Sakura," she heard a faint voice say from behind the door.

"Come in," she said standing up to look over the glass. Kyo walked in and sat down on the toilet, which was next to the shower. He looked up at her with his lovely red eyes. He had a look on his face that she has never seen before on another man in her life. He dropped his gaze, obviously studying her through the glass. "Kyo, what's wrong?" she said shakily.

"I...don't know how to say this, but...," he paused for a long time, causing Sakura to basically have a mini-heartattack from anticipation, "I...can't quit thinking about you, ever since I seen you this morning...no, last night. You've been on my mind this whole time, and it's starting to piss me off."

"Okay...," Sakura said, not knowing what else to say. Suddenly he darted up, grabbing the back of her head over the glass and smashing his lips to hers. It was straining her neck to keep above the glass, but his force was keeping her up.

He let go, causing her to stumble back slightly. "I...I'm sorry," he said quickly heading to the door.

"Wait," Sakura said, letting emotions get the best of her, "Get...get in here with me...you're dirty anyway...from this morning...and I'm just using this hot water to stay warm...so while there's still hot water..."

She could tell he was smiling, even with his back turned to her. He took off his shirt, and she turned quickly to face the wall of the shower. She was embarrassed. What had gotten into her? What on earth was she thinking? She felt something deep inside her gut. Was that fear? She clutched her hands to her face. She felt strong hands pull them down. How did he get in the shower so fast? He traced his hands up her sides, and then stopped, bringing them around to hold her. He kissed her neck softly, whispering things she didn't understand into her ear. What was this? He trailed his kisses up her neck, and then slowly turned her around, putting her back lightly up against the shower wall. He kissed her softy on the lips, waiting for her to return the kiss. He wrapped his arms around her again, "You can trust me...I won't do to you what he did." Love?

Her perfect world was broken by the cold water hitting her in the face. She was sprawled out on the shower's floor. No Kyo. She sat up in the freezing water, and put her hands to her face. She felt something warm slithering between her fingers. She was crying. She felt like slapping herself. She was supposed to be good. Besides, why would a guy like Kyo ever fall for her anyway? She was used anyway. She was crying deeply, the water seeping into every part of her body, making her lonliness an even deeper rift.

"Oi! Sakura!" she heard Kyo's voice say loudly. She heard the door open, and Momo was barking and growling. "Stupid dog! Move!" She heard the shower door open and Kyo quickly turned off the water and crouched down on the bathroom rug. "Sakura! What's wrong?" She turned quickly, wrapping her arms around his neck, still crying. He was startled at frirst, and then wrapped his arms around her cold shivering body. "It's alright...I'm here. What's wrong?" he said softly, trying to get her out of the shower. Her arms were still around his neck, and her face was still buried into his shoulder as he slowly pulled her up. He reached for a towel and wrapped it around her. He ran a hand softly through her long tangled black hair. He seemed to have given up on getting an answer from her. He smiled, hearing her tears finally cease. He pushed her away from him lightly, so he could look her in the face. Her face was very pretty, he thought, almost as pale as Yuki's, but that could be because she was sitting in cold water for ten minutes. Sakura's eyes avoided Kyo's in a desperate attempt to keep what dignity she had left. She gripped the towel and wrapped it around herself tighter. "I'm sorry," she said, looking at herself in the mirror, "I guess...I kinda freaked out..."

Kyo reached out and hugged her again, "No. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so rude yesterday. If I had known, none of this would have happened. Ever since this morning, no, last night, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. You've been on my mind this whole time, and I think I lo-"

"KYO! YUKI! SAKURA! I'M HOME!" Shigure's voice litterally rang throughout the house.

"Shit," Kyo said, looking at the bathroom floor, "Meet me outside tonight...um..." He leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the cheek, and left her there in the bathroom, her eyes wide with suprise.
