The Sparrow's Truth

Chapter 15- A Truce

As Cara tried to clam herself down by taking long deep breaths she thought about what to say. 'Um…hey how's it going Kyo...no that's stupid.' She let out a long sigh and though of the place where she thought the best. 'The roof...'

Cara then when out the balcony and climbed the ladder that led from the balcony to the roof. After she climbed up she slowly and quietly crawled across it to get in the middle. She then repeated the process that she had before and tried once more of what to say.

'Ok...'the truth is Kyo that, well, I saw you kissing Tohru...and I realized that. Well. You liked her and that I did like you...but not any more. I mean that I did like you when I was littler but that was a long time ago. I like Yuki now...I hope we can still be friends.'...Ya, that's good. Something along that line.' Cara thought as she layed back on the roof.

Dinning Room

As Tohru, Kyo and Yuki sat around the table it was totally silent. Yuki hadn't said a thing since he came down and Tohru could feel the tension...but it wasn't between them.

"Umm...if I've done-"she tried to say but was cut off by Kyo.

"It's not you Tohru...don't worry about it." he said with one hand over her mouth. Yuki didn't make a move to take Kyo's hand away but just nodded in agreement. Kyo then stood up and walked into the kitchen and said, "I'll be up on the roof if you want me."

Kyo then slowly climbed the stairs and out onto the balcony. He then grabbed the ladder and hosted himself halfway up the ladder. Then just as he was about to get up onto the roof he heard someone or something move. 'What the hell...' Kyo said slowly peaking up over the edge to see what it was and saw Cara.

"CARA!" Kyo shouted not able to control himself. Cara then let out a loud, short yelp and sat up from where she was to look over at Kyo's head.

"...he-hey..." she said not knowing what else to say. There was an awkward silence between the two and neither of them moved. Then just as Cara was about to say something Kyo cut in.

"What are you doing here and how did you get in?" he asked pulling himself up onto the edge of the roof and stayed there.

"...I let myself in and came to talk to you." she said bluntly in a low, sad voice that he could barely hear or understand. Kyo was a bit taking back by the tone in her voice but didn't hesitate to ask another question.

"About what?"

"I...I just needed to tell you something..."

"Like what?" he questioned finally looking over at Cara. She looked sad and confused but at the same time sure of what she was doing.

"I needed to tell you that...well...I saw you kissing Tohru yesterday and th-"

"I kind of figured that..."

"Can I finish?" Kyo could tell if she was mad or just trying to get to the point but he shut up.

"I saw you kissing Tohru yesterday and I realized something about myself..." she let it fade off trying to collect her thoughts.

"What was that Cara?" he asked sliding across the roof so he could sit next to her.

"I realized that...I don't care for you the way I thought I did. I...I don't know what I was thinking but...now I do. I want you and me to be just friends now. I know it might be hard since we went out but we can pull it off. I...it's just my feelings for you died inside but I still thought that I loved you." by this time tears were rolling down her face but she mad no effort to wipe them away, "I guess that when I saw you kiss Tohru that the empty feelings that I had for you just...died too. Then I saw what was hidden but those fake feelings. I saw that...that...I cared for... for YUKI!"

Cara buried her face into Kyo's shoulder and cried as if she never had before. Kyo didn't do anything to resist or anything to stop her...he just let her cry. As her tears slowed though Kyo started rubbing Cara's back and pulled her close to his side.

"You said what I couldn't...about the empty feelings." Kyo whispered in her ear and she looked up at him. He placed a light kiss on her forehead and just continued to sit there and let her tears drench his shirt.

"What did you think about me before...when we were little?" Cara asked wiping the last tears away from her cheeks.

"That's a stupid question." he said chuckling a bit.

"I know but...I need to know."

"I never wanted you to leave me." he said lowering his voice as if someone was listening.

"Thank you." Cara said looking him in the eyes.

"Yuki knows you're here doesn't he..."

"Yes...he does."

"Come on." Kyo said leading Cara by the head across the roof. He then went down the ladder first and helped the unsteady Cara down.

"We can be like brother and sister..." Cara said as they walked down the stairs side by side.

"Ya...and, you're not going to hold anything against Tohru are you?" Kyo asked before they walked into the dinning room.

Cara just looked over at Kyo, smiled and said, "I won't...don't worry. She's the one that made me realize that it was only empty feelings."

Cara and Kyo walked into the room and Yuki and Tohru just looked at them. Tohru tensed up and Cara could tell that she was worried that Cara wouldn't like her anymore. So Cara walked over to Tohru and hugged her, but Tohru wasn't prepared for it and totally froze up.

"I'm not mad Tohru...don't worry about it." Cara then got up and sat down beside Yuki.

"How'd it go?" Yuki whispered into Cara's ear as he handed her a plate so she cold eat. As Yuki said this Kyo then walked across the room and sat down beside Tohru and in front of Cara and grabbed another plate for seconds.

Cara then looked over at Yuki, smiled at him and lightly kissed him on the lips and said, "Fine."

Yuki froze up waiting for a reaction from Kyo that never came. Yuki was surprised at this and then continued on eating his breakfast continually watching Kyo incase he struck.

After Breakfast

As Tohru and Cara took the plates from the table Cara asked Tohru, "Do you hate me?"

"What! NO! I should be the one asking you that!" Tohru said confused and about to cry.

"It's just...you haven't talked to me like you once did. Before last night." Cara said putting the dishes in the sink.

"I...I just...don't want you to hate me. I mean because I kissed Kyo when you and him where going out and you started crying and ran off and...and, I just though that you would hate me for that." Tohru confessed with tears stinging her eyes. Cara gave Tohru a weak smile and giggled before giving her a hug.

"Thank you." Cara said. Cara then walked out of the room to go find Yuki and try to convince him that Kyo wasn't after him because she had seen Yuki looking at Kyo with cautious eyes.

'Why did she say thank you?' Tohru thought as she went to go get the last of the dishes. Kyo then walked into the room and placed his hands on her should and his head on his left hand. His breath tickled the back of her neck and sent shivers down her spine.

"Kyo...what are you do-doing?" Tohru stuttered. Kyo then turned Tohru around and placed his hands on either side of her and quickly placed his lips on hers. He got his body as close to hers as he could but far enough away that he wouldn't change.

"Starting what I finished." he quickly said in between a kiss.

Tohru then pushed Kyo back and said, "But aren't you going out with Cara?"

Kyo looked her in the eyes and said, "No...we both came to the same conclusion."

"What was that?" Tohru asked trying to fight the urge to kiss him again.

Kyo put his lips above hers and right before he kissed her he said, "We don't love each other. We love someone else."

Cara and Yuki

"Hey Yuki." Cara said as she walked into his room closing his door. Yuki was laying on top of his bed with his eyes closed.

"Hey," Yuki didn't move or open his eyes so Cara sat on the edge of his bed and layed down beside him. She then turned on her side and layed her hand on Yuki's shoulder.

"Yuki...I talked to him and we came to an understanding." Cara said moving over so she was right up against Yuki.

"That's good...I hope you're happy now Cara." he said not moving.

"Yun-Yun...can I call you that?" Cara suddenly asked.

"You know that Kyo wouldn't like that."

"Kyo...he's like a brother to me. Nothing more nothing less Yun-Yun." Cara then leaned over and kissed Yuki. Yuki opened his eyes and looked at Cara.

"What?" Yuki asked.

"I don't love him Yun-Yun. I love you." Cara then climbed on top of Yuki and once more kissed him and by the end of the kiss his lips tingled for more.

"Do you really love me?" Yuki asked afterwards. Cara once more kissed Yuki but in the middle of the kiss Yuki felt Cara's tongue lick his bottom lip asking for entrance. He hesitated to let her in but when he did her tongue explored his mouth and his did the same but at the same time there tongues intertwined. When they were finished they were both breathing hard and Cara held Yuki's shirt in her clenched hands.

"I'm yours." she whispered to Yuki sneaking her hands up his shirt to feel his chest. Yuki then placed his hands on her back and slid them up under her shirt and unsnapped her bra.

"Do you want to do this?" Yuki asked pausing from taking off her shirt and bra.

"Yes..."

Lauren: Hope you all liked it! Told you there was a surprise. Ok...to tell you the truth I didn't have that planned. Actually...I didn't have the last few chapters planned.

Yuki: ...

Kyo: You're so stupid!

Lauren:...NATAKU!
Kyo grumbles
Lauren:hehe

Kyo:You're evil!

Nataku: YES!

Lauren: Please read and review:)
