Chapter 2-Goodbye, Kyo-kun!

Tohru sat as Kagura hurriedly explained the nice, adventurous, romantic, hiking trip that she and Kyo would be taking. Tohru was eagerly listening while Yuki, Shigure, and Kyo were all trying to keep themselves from falling asleep. "And then of course there will be a romantic sunset!" Kagura exclaimed. Tohru nodded. "Oh, that sounds really great!" she chimed in. Kagura then clung to Kyo's neck. "Yes, it will be. I can't wait for our alone time, can you Kyo?" she asked him. Kyo rolled his eyes. "Hell, yeah," he replied. Kagura's eyes snapped open. "What did you just say?" She asked coldly. Knowing what was about to happen, Yuki stepped up. "He says he can't wait for the alone time you two will be sharing," he said. Kagura's eyes filled with tears of love as she hugged Kyo even tighter. "Oh, Kyo! You're the sweetest thing EVER!" Kagura then punched him while yelling, "KYO, I LOVE YOU!"

As Kagura started her relentless attacking, Tohru's face fell. "Everything was going so well," she said, "I was beginning to hope Kagura wouldn't lose her temper here." Shigure gave her a small smile. "Don't worry about it," he said, "we all knew it was going to happen eventually." All of them could hear the punches, grunts, and groaning. Yuki sighed. "Yes," he said, "still, it would be nice if we got some quiet time every once in a while." They all could tell when Kagura's temper fell because right then, they heard "Kyo! Who would have done such a terrible thing! Don't worry Kyo! I'll make sure you get better! Just you wait! I'll fix with you with the power of love!"

"Get off of me, woman!" Kyo shouted, and then came more punching. "Wouldn't do any harm to give them a head start on their packing, could it?" Shigure asked. Tohru immediately stepped up. "I can't believe I didn't think of that sooner! Oh, I'm on it!" She exclaimed as she quickly ran to Kyo's room. Shigure looked over at Yuki. "So," he began, "are you going to use this to your advantage?" He asked. Yuki looked up at him. "My...advantage?" He asked. Shigure leaned over to him. "You know," he said, "to get closer to Tohru-kun? With Kyo gone, you have the advantage to win over her heart!" Yuki blushed a tiny bit and then started laughing. "Oh, my, Shigure," he began, "quite a mind you have, don't you? "To get closer to Tohru-kun?" Ha-ha! Listen, we're just friends. That's all I think of her." Shigure scoffed. "When true love goes unnoticed, it causes the worst pain," he said. Yuki looked at him. "What did you say?" He asked. "Oh, nothing!" Shigure said, "just put it aside."

Kyo and Kagura stood outside the house saying their goodbyes. "I promise we'll be back soon," Kagura said, "please just take care of yourselves while we're gone!"

"Oh, don't worry!" Yuki began, "I'll be extremely fine without that stupid cat around!" Kyo glared at Yuki. "And remember," Shigure began, "you will have a lot of schoolwork to catch up on, Kyo!" Kyo rolled his eyes. "Don't you think I know that!" He yelled. Tohru stepped up. "I'm going to miss you, Kyo," she said. Kyo blushed as she stared at him. Then, without warning, she wrapped her arms around him. About two seconds after, the "poof!" was heard. Kyo's clothes lay as a pile on the ground and he was now a cat.

Everyone stared down at him. "Damn it!" Kyo-kitty yelled. Tohru felt a sweatdrop going down the side of her head. "I'm so sorry, Kyo-kun!" She exclaimed, "I guess now you two are going to have to wait longer to go on your trip."

"Hell, we are!" Kyo yelled. "I am not going to start hiking knowing I can become naked right in front of Kagura's eyes!" Kagura looked at him. "What's wrong with me seeing you naked!" She asked, "we are engaged, in case you didn't know. Together we shall make love!" At this point, everyone could feel sweatdrops on the sides of their heads. Kyo was blushing madly, and Kagura stood there looking quite happy. "Um...okay!"Tohru exclaimed, "in the meantime, I'll make us all a snack while we're waiting for Kyo to transform!" She quickly scurried back inside the house. "You just contact us if you need us for anything!" Kagura explained. "Don't worry," Shigure said, "we know exactly what to do. But relax, have fun. Enjoy yourselves. Oh, and Kyo, just try not to make Kagura lose her temper when you're in public." Kyo moaned out of frustration. Tohru then came out with a few riceballs. "I tried to make these as quickly as possible, so uh, if something tastes bad please let me know! I'll fix it right away!" She exclaimed. Yuki smiled at her. "No, they taste absolutely perfect," he said. Tohru smiled. "Thank you!" she exclaimed. She was about to hug him but Yuki held her back. "Oh, right," Tohru said, "sorry. I'm just so happy!"

"You're always so happy," Kyo dryly said. Yuki stepped on his tail and Kyo screamed. "You damn rat! What the hell was that for!"

"That...was for being an idiot," Yuki replied.

Kyo had eventually transformed back to human and now, he and Kagura were walking farther and farther away. "Goodbye, Kyo-kun!" Tohru yelled out. "Bye Kagura!" She yelled again. She smiled as she watched them walk away. After they were completely out of eyesight, she walked back into the house. "All right," she began, "they're finally gone. I hope they'll enjoy themselves, too!" Yuki chuckled a bit. "Kyo will most likely be dead before they can come back!" He exclaimed. Seeing the downcast look on Tohru's face he quickly added, "But Kagura will make him come back. She always does. Sorry if I upset you, Miss Honda." He said bowing a little bit to her. "No, no, no!" Tohru quickly exclaimed, "don't worry about it! I know how Kagura gets and all that, so I'm not really upset so you don't have to apologize, Yuki!" She quickly said bowing to him as well. Yuki smiled. "You know something, Miss Honda," he began. Tohru looked up at him. "Yes?" she asked him. "I don't really think it's going to be bad with just us here," he finished. Tohru's face had become red as a cherry. "With Shigure of course!" The Prince added. He chuckled before walking out of the room.

Tohru stood there, feeling her very warm cheeks. "Oh mom," she began, "I don't know whether to feel shocked, moved, angered, or flattered! Sure, it's going to be interesting without Kyo here, but...I don't know which one of them I love. I mean, I know they'll get girlfriends in no time but still...I know I have feelings for them that are past friendship. I just don't know which one I like more. The charming Prince Yuki who is extremely kind or Kyo. The one who feels lonely and like he doesn't belong. Who changes his attitude whenever I'm around."

Tohru sighed. It was such a tough decision. She grabbed her schoolbooks, time to do with homework with Yuki. "Hmm," she thought, "hopefully the hiking trip can help me make up my mind. It will decide whether I like to spend time with Yuki and me alone, or it proves that I'll really miss Kyo and will be jumping for joy when he returns." With that in mind, she walked into the kitchen where Yuki would be waiting for her.
