The next morning, Kyo woke up, and was surprised to feel
himself smiling, something he never did in the morning.He
rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and suddenly thoughts of
the night before ran through his head. Tohru...his
Tohru...He got out of bed, and went to wash up, thinking of
Tohru the whole time. He stepped out of the bathroom, and
Tohru fell into his arms"Gomen Sai Kyo! I'm Sorry, I- I
just tripped on the steps" she admitted reluctantly. Kyo
just looked at her for a moment, taking in the perfect
lines of her face. His eyes traveled to her lips, and
before she could say anything, he pressed a light kiss to
her mouth." Morning Tohru" he said lightly, and then he made
his way back to his room. Tohru stood against the wall for
a moment, feeling the lingering effects of his sweet, swift
kiss. She heard a slight cough, and turned, only to find
Yuki behind her. "um, good morning, Yuki-kun" She said
brightly, plastering a smile on her face. Yuki gave her a
disappointed glance and said softly; " Good morning"
Tohru's heart sank. He was still upset. She felt terrible!
But what could she do? She cleared her throat. "Yuki-kun,
I" Yuki stopped her. He didn't want to hear it.
Couldn't hear it. The words. The terrible
words. "Honda-san, please. I'll come to accept it over time.
But...don't speak about it now. Please." Tohru swallowed
hard, holding back tears. All she wanted was for Yuki, her
friend, to be happy. A solitary tear trickled down her
cheek against her will. Yuki look concerned and reached
over to take her hand, but before he could, Kyo came out
ofhis room, and saw the tear still making its way down
Tohrus cheek. "Darn you rat" He roared" What the heck
did you do to her" Shigre stumbled sleepily out of his
room, a faint stench of cigarette smoke clinging to
him. "Are the lovebirds having a fight" he
asked,chuckling. "What the, No" yelled Kyo. "c'mon Tohru,
can we get out of here" "um, sure, if that's what you
want" she answered hesitantly. Kyo's heart soared as she
made her simple statement. His opinion. what he wanted.
Wow...Yuki too heard the statement, but his heart sunk,
deep into the pit of his stomach.He wanted nothing more
then to grab her and kiss her on the spot, but he knew he
couldn't. He watched as Tohru slipped her hand into Kyo's
and they walked off towards the kitchen.
