HA! I know it didn't take very long for me to post this chapter... but I had wanted to make you guys all wait a long timefor my fourth chapter... since it is in this chapter that... NO! Wait! I can't tell you that... you'll have to find out yourself... but I couldn't keep myself away from this precious computer... (hugs computer) (talking to computer in a baby voice) I will never leave you again... don't you worry... OK! enough of that... now here is some Japanese I am putting in my story.And yes I do realize that my chapters are relatively short.
Kuso inu: damn dog (he seems to get on Kyou's nerves alot doesn't he?)
Kuso nezumi: damn rat
itterasshai: take care
ittekimasu: I'm leaving
Oh, and for blue0demon, Kyou is how you spell his name the Japanese way... And I am a dedicated and loyal Shigure fan... My friend likes Kyou... I just can't really do any other kinds of fanfics...
disclaimer... I still haven't succeeded in gaining control over all characters but I do control them in my fanfic... hehehe this could all work out perfectly fine...
Shigure's POV (I know... I do have strange POVs but who cares... it fits for this part of the chapter...) (Oh, and he is a little OOC... but for good reason...)
Yuki yelled that he would answer the door and he jumped up and got it before I could reply. When he opened the door, I saw the most beautiful girl in the world... She seemed oddly familiar, but from where, I wasn't sure. All I could concentrate onwere her beautiful features, from her shoulder-length red hair to her big, beautiful green eyes! She was absolutely amazing...
"R-Ritzoko? What are you doing here?" Yuki asked her. Obviously he had beenexpecting someoneelse to show upon the doorstep.
"I need to speak withRitsu!" she answered, she had the most beautiful voice, and the cutest facewhen she scanned the room for him. (You guessed it, she'sRitsu's sister! All made up by me of course... well, me and my friends... and no I am not basing her off of me! Idon't look or act anything like her.Just so you know.)
"I-I'm sorry Ritzoko!He hasn't been here in quite a while." answeredYuki.
"Hello! I'm Sohma Sh-Shigure,the novelist." I said running up and introducing myself.
"Hi, I'm Sohma Ritzoko, I'm Ritsu's sister and I'm pissed! So back off lover-boy!" she yelled at me. Wait, did she just say Ritsu's sister? So that's why she looked so familiar... I turned around and almost fell to the ground because I had thought Ritsu was beautiful...Wait, what am I saying? I am calling his sister pretty. Not him... You're not that way Shigure, I said to myself, hoping I was right... (no he doesn't turn gay... I just felt like putting that in there... I like him too much to do that to him...)
"Well he hasn't been here for quite some time." said Yuki again.
"Hey, freak, why are you drooling like that?" she asked me. I had been drooling? Oops, I had to cover this one up quick. (Yes I know I'm being mean... but it is so fun! I love being mean to those that I like/love!)
"Oh, that, heh, uhh I can't wait until Tohru-kun finishes dinner. It is so delightful!" I answered quickly.
"Tohru,Tohru, that name, it rings a bell. Oh, now I remember. Ritsu told me a little about her, and if I'm not mistaken, so did you Yuki-kun, over the phone that is. I would like to meet this Tohru. She seems nice." she said.
"Oh, yes she is so sweet! She will make a wonderful housewife someday." I got slapped on the face for that little comment.
No one's POV
"I should show her to you." Yuki said.He took her upstairs.
"Heh, Kyou, Ihave to go finish dinner." he could hear her voice coming down the stairs.
"Tohru, I would like you to meet someone." said Yuki to Tohru. He looked up at her and saw that she was blushing.
"Someone wants to... to meet me?" she asked, surprised.
"Yes Miss Honda, come downstairs." he said.
"Ok Sohma-kun!" she said happily.
She came down the stairs, and looked questioningly at Ritzoko.
"Have we met somewhere before?" askedTohru, looking at Ritzoko with a strange face. It was all Kyou could do to keep from laughing.
"Hi, I'm Sohma Ritzoko." she said offering her hand toTohru.
"Hi, I am Honda Tohru!" said Tohru,taking her hand and smiling.
"In case you couldn't already tell, I am Ritsu's sister." she said.
"Oh, of course... that's why you looked so familiar!"exclaimed Tohru.
"That's right." she replied.
"Oh Ayame dear! Why are you always in my room? Come on out of there! I would like foryou to meet someone!" they heard Shigure say from the door of his room.
"Ok ok I am coming Shi-chan." he answered. It seemed he had been sleeping but why, I don't know, so don't ask.
When Shigure had introduced her to his best friend, he had beena littledramatic (as always) but not too dramatic.
"Hello my dear, I am Sohma Ayame." he said and bowed with a flourish as he extended his hand to her.
"Okaaaaay, whatever! You're more of a freak than this guy over here!" she said pointing over her shoulder. Shigure was staring at her with a very strange face.
"Oh, it hurts!" exclaimed the snake, covering his heart with his hand and closing his eyes.
"Just shut up!" she answered, starting to get annoyed with these two.
"Heh, well, umm, I am going to go sit with Kyou... He seemed a little upset." said Tohru. She had been trying to come up with a lie so that she could go see Kyou with out anyone laughing at her or anything. She had just thought that one up.
"You mean you just want to go talk to him!" said Shigure, because being the person he was, he saw right through her lie and just had to blurt it out to everyone there.
"Yes, I- I mean No! eh-uh-eh-heh" she said, accidentally giving away her secret.
She quickly disappeared up the stairs. She surprisingly found Kyou in her room.
"Eh! Kyou! Wh-what are doing in my room?" she said.
"Oh nothing I just wanted to see if you would be smart enough to find me." he said.
"Heh, Ritzoko seemed kind of angry, don't you think?"
He hadn't been paying attention. Instead, he was looking around her room. He noticed a barely visible patch on her ceiling. He had fixed it before, but he didn't remember this at the time. He thought to himself: 'You know I never really got around to fixing...'
"That hole!" he said startling Tohru. She had been talking the entire time.
"What Kyou?" she asked. She looked at him so sweetly, he couldn't help but smile.
She smiled at this, because seeing any of them smile made her happy.
"What did you say Kyou?" she asked again.
"That hole in your ceiling, I never fixed it." answered the cat.
She started laughing at him.
"giggle giggle You... you already fixed it..."
"I, I have?" he asked surprised that he couldn't remember fixing it. (I don't know if he actually did get around to fixing it. I am saying that he did.)
Shigure walked in then, with Tohru laughing and Kyou looking confused.
"What are you two lovers laughing about up here?" he asked.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU KUSO INU? She doesn't like me..." Kyou yelled at the dog.
"Oh I wouldn't be so sure about that..." said Shigure mysteriously.
"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" asked Kyou.
"Well as long as you two aren't misbehaving, then I guess I can go back downstairs to my love."
"What do you mean misbehaving? You kuso baka inu! And who do mena by love?" he said.
Shigure disappeared down the stairs before Kyou could ask him any more questions. Kyou shuddered, he thought Shigure was talking about Ayame.
"Is what he said true? I mean.. do you really like me?" he asked her.
"heh," she looked at him and smiled nervously, "yes, it is true." she said.
"That's good." he said. Then he added, "That is disgusting!" said Kyou.
Her eyes teared up. He looked at her, surprised.
"What's wrong Tohru?" he asked her, wondering why she was crying.
"Y-you said it was disgusting that I liked you..."
He started laughing. "That's not what I meant to say! HAHAHA! I was saying Shigure and Ayame together is disgusting!"
"What do you mean, Shigure and Ayame together..?" she asked confused.
"He just now said that he was returning to his... love... he wouldn't say that about that kuso nezumi, who could? There is not anyone else here... is there?" he asked.
"hehe Yes, there is. Her name is Ritzoko. You don't remember seeing her? She had green eyes, red hair..."
"No I don't know who she is... When did she get here?" he asked, looking kind of confused.
"A few minutes ago... You want to go meet her?" asked Tohru, standing up to leave.
"Fine. But, if she looks or acts anything like Ritsu, then I am out of there." he said, following her out of the room.
They went downstairs, and introduced Kyou to Ritzoko. She didn't really like him all that much, but she didn't yell at him. Kyou was surprised that Ritzoko was nothing like Ritsu.
"Call me Riko." she said to everybody.
"Ok!" said Tohru, smiling widely.
"I'm going upstairs." said Kyou going up to the roof.
Tohru followed him. Right before she reached the stairs, Yuki stopped her.
"Do you know what happened to Momiji and Hatori?"
"Oh! No I don't! They might have left before Ritzoko came because Momiji didn't say anything to her and I know he would have!" she exclaimed. She went up to meet Kyou on the roof and sat beside him.
"It's nice to know someone related to Ritsu that is so... unlike him." said Tohru, then realizing how rude she had just been, she added, "Not that knowing him isn't good and all." (And just so you know... it pains me to type now because I just really hurt my thumb and it's the one I use for the space bar... and it realy hurts... I just slammed it in a sliding glass door...OWOWOWOW!) (I will probably start typing with one hand... though it will take longer but it is almost pain-free... my thumb still hurts... ALOT! I usually take pain really well but... OWWWWW!)
"I know what you meant." he said.
They sat there for a while, looking at the fading sun... Then suddenly below, they heard the front door open and the dog's voice floated out.
"Ittekimasu Aaya-san! I'll be back later." he said.
"Itterasshai! I'll see you when you get back."Ayame said. Ayame went back insidewhile Riko had finally been convinced to go out with Shigure.
After they were out of sight, Tohru sighed and said,
"Oh, that's so sweet!" she smiled up at Kyou, making him smile.
He looked into her eyes with surprising love and care then he started laughing!
"You are so stupid!" he exclaimed.
"Wh-what?" asked Tohru.
"You are such a cadet! You didn't make dinner!" he said, looking at her expression and laughing softly.
"Oh no! I didn't did I? What about Sohma-kun and Ayame-san?" she said starting to get worried. Kyou then realized the mistake he'd made.
"Tohru, sit down. You're gonna fall if you don't. They can tell us if they get hungry." he said reassuringly.
"But I left the stuff out! It's been almost an hour. I'll be right back up once I get every thing put away!" she said. He waited while she went downstairs to put things away.
Tohru was in the kitchen putting everything away. She hadn't heard footsteps but when she stood up from her position from putting something on the bottom shelf of the fridge, she felt she was being watched. She slowly turned around to be greeted by Ayame.
"Oh, are you putting things away? I was hoping for another one of you home cooked meals..."
"Will onigiri do?" she asked, not knowing what to say. She didn't want to seem rude, but she also wanted to hurry so Kyou didn't worry about her.
"It will do fine." he answered. He left to tell Yuki that they were having onigiri instead.
She heard footsteps.
"What's taking so long?" came a familiar voice.
"Oh! Kyou! I'm making onigiri for Ayame!" she answered.
"Hurry up! And what about us? You're not making any for us?"
"I didn't know you were hungry! Are you?" she asked. She wanted to make sure she made enough for everyone.
"No, I'm not. Try to hurry up ok?" he asked, walking up to her.
"Ok!" answered Tohru.
She hadn't realized how close he had gotten and she turned around and almost ran straight into him!
"heh, hi Kyou." she said.
He looked so serious. It scared her for a second. He then leaned forward and kissed her on the lips... she was so surprised she didn't know what to do. He backed away from her looking embarrassed. She blushed lightly and smiled at him.
"I'll be on the roof when you're done..." he said, surprised at himself for kissing her.
She finished making the onigiri and called Ayame and Yuki down to eat it. (Ayame had gone with Yuki to his room.) She went upstairs to see Kyou staring up at the almostfull moon.
"Hello Kyou-kun, I'm back." she said quietly, sitting next to him. He looked at her with a smile, his cheeks tinted pink.
"Hi Tohru-kun." he said. He looked at her to see that she wasn't blushing at all. He was very surprised. Normally she was the one blushing and he wasn't. Now it was the complete opposite. She looked up at him.
"Kyou?" she asked softly.
"Yes Tohru?" he looked down to find her slipping. He quickly grabbed her outstretched hand.
"Heh, Thank you for saving meKyou." she said. She looked really scared. He didn't like seeing her like that so he wanted to brighten her mood, but he didn't know what to do.
"Kyou? What's wrong? Why are you blushing? Are you not feeling well? You should lay down if you're not feeling well!" exclaimed Tohru.
"I'm fine Tohru, I'm just a little surprised at myself that's all." he said, still thinking about the kiss he had given her in the kitchen.
"Why are you surprised? You didn't want to save me?" she asked, misunderstanding what he was saying to her... again.
"No I meant down in the kitchen. I shouldn't have done that, I'm sorry." he said.
"No, It's ok Kyou. I didn't mind. In fact, I kind of liked it. I liked so much I want to do it again!" she said. He leaned forward again, and this time Tohru actually knew what was going on. She kissed him back. When they were done that time, both just sat there with smiles on their faces. After a while though, Tohru started giggling. Kyou looked down at her, confused.
"What's so funny?" he asked her, dumbfounded.
"Earlier, You forgot that you had fixed my ceiling... hehehe..."
"That was an honest mistake. You forgot to make dinner.You're the space cadet here, not me." he said, getting annoyed that she was laughing at him. He just wanted her to stop laughing at him, so he added at the end, "I'm leaving if you won't quit laughing." He wasn't really going to leave, but she believed him when he said he would.He got up to add to it. She stopped laughing.
"I'm sorry Kyou! Don't go! I'll stop laughing! I promsie!" she said. He sat back down next to her and scooted closer to her than he had been before.
"It's ok." he said. He looked at her. She was looking at the stars that had just come out.
"Aren't they pretty?" she asked, still staring out at them, watching them wink at her.
"Not as pretty as you." said Kyou sweetly.
"You don't mean that." she said looking down because of the red on her face.
"Yes I do. You are so beautiful. You don't even know it, but you are." he insisted.
