Fae: ……Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I'm a terrible author! I'm horrible! I made you wait a year for this chapter! Just kill me now! ;.;
Tohru: Uh..umm…Fae? I don't think anyone wants to kill you.
Kyo: Jeez…you made everyone wait a year for this thing…I won't surprised if an angrey mob doesn't form…
Fae: -sobsobsob-
Tohru: Ehhh….here's the next chapter!
Kyo slowly awoke to the smell of food being prepared. His cinnamon hued eyes reluctantly cracked open, glancing over toward the kitchen. His sensitive ears picked up the sound of humming.
Grumbling, he sat up on the couch, stretching out muscles. He swung his feet over and got off the couch, making his way toward the smell of breakfast.
He peered in to see Tohru bustling about, preparing food. He walked in farther, crossing his arms and looking a bit annoyed.
"You should be resting right now." He said after a moment.
Tohru jumped and nearly dropped the utensils she had been carrying. She whirled around, eyes wide. She hadn't known Kyo was right behind her.
"K-Kyo! I was j-just making breakfast!" she stuttered out an excuse.
"I don't care what your doing, you should be resting." He growled out.
Tohru lowered her gaze to the ground, shifting her weight from one foot to the other.
"I'm sorry…I just wanted to make breakfast for you…since you saved me." She said gently.
Kyo blushed gently, shoulders slumping a little. He inwardly sighed before patting her head, almost an owner forgiving a puppy of a mistake.
"It's ok…it's just…you had a trying day yesterday. You should still be resting." He replied, more gentle this time.
Tohru looked up, a large smile on her face.
"Thank you for worrying about me." She said happily.
And with that, she turned from him and continued her cooking. Kyo watched silently, not sure what to do. Tohru stood on her tip-toes, trying to reach something in one of the highest shelves. Kyo reached over her, handing her the item.
Tohru smiled and said her thanks, continuing her cooking. With a sigh, Kyo moved in to help her: getting things from high shelves, lifting heavy items, taking pans off of the stove.
Not very long after, the preparation was complete. Kyo blinked at all the food they had made. There had to have been enough for a family of 5, let alone 2 people.
Tohru fixed up some plates and brought them to the dining room table. When Kyo hesitated, she called over to him, inviting him to sit with her. He did as he was asked, still looking at the mass of food on his plate.
"So Kyo, have you lived in Japan long?" Tohru asked after a moment, getting uncomfortable with the silence.
Kyo smirked in his mind. Only for a few centuries, and you? He thought evilly. But he didn't feel like giving his new assignment a heart attack on the first day.
"Most of my life…" he finally replied.
"I've lived here all of my life. I used to live with my Mom, but now I live here with Yuri." Tohru added, scooping up some food on her fork and munching down.
Deciding not to step on uneven(most likely) ground with asking about her mother, he asked a different question.
"Yuri?" he inquired, a brow raising.
"My cat. I think you've met." Tohru said with a small giggle, looking down and around the table near Kyo's feet.
His brow rose even further when she looked at his feet. He looked down as well and scowled as he saw 'Yuri' rubbing up against his legs and feet, pawing at him, and even nipping lightly.
"She likes you a lot." Tohru said after a moment.
Kyo made an agreeing sound in his throat, ignoring the cat and going back to eating. Just as Tohru was about to draw breath and ask something else, the phone started ringing.
She excused herself and hurried to the phone.
"Hello?" Tohru said into the phone once she picked up.
"Tohru? Thank God I got you!" It was Uo, and she sounded as if she had been up all night.
Tohru gasped, remembering what she had forgotten the night before.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Uo!" she cried, panicing. What if Uo really had stayed up all night? What if her illness had gotten even worse? What if she never got better?
"It's ok Tohru. But jeez, she scared the crap out of me. First when you didn't come over, and then when I called your house a million times and you didn't answer! I thought you were kidnapped!" Uo nearly yelled into the phone, coughing a little and sneezing when she was done.
"Oh Uo! I'm so sorry! I just ran into a little trouble last night and-" Oops. She thought, too late.
"What? What happened to you? Did someone attack you? I swear, if I ever get my hands on that bastard, he'll wish he'd never been born!" Uo practically screamed into the phone.
Tohru had to put her hand over the receiver and move it away from her head, trying to save herself from becoming deaf at such a young age.
"I'm fine, Uo! Really!" Tohru tried to reason.
"Did someone attack you?" Uo asked frantically.
"Well…I wouldn't say attacked…" Tohru said, with a nervous 'hehe.'
"Did he hurt you?"
"My throats just a little soar, but other then that I'm 'a-ok!'"
Uo paused for a moment. Tohru thought she had hung up when she asked.
"But….how did you get away…?"
"Oh, Kyo saved me." Tohru said happily.(At the mention of his name, Kyo ears perked up even more, glancing over at Tohru from the corner of his eye.)
"Who's 'Kyo'?" Uo asked suspiciously.
"The one who saved me." Tohru said, thinking she was repeating herself.
"But WHO is he?" Uo asked asked again, getting nervous.
"Um…well….he's Kyo…?" Tohru offered, voice getting softer and softer.
"Oh my god, Tohru! You don't even know who he is? Wait…how do you know his name?"
"I asked him, of course." Tohru said with a small giggle.
"Well…at least you didn't invite him over…" Uo muttered more to herself then Tohru.
"Ehehehee..hehehe…" Tohru laughed nervously, sweat dropping.
"You invited him over? Let me guess! He spent the night too and now he's eating breakfast?"
"Wow Uo…you would do great as a psychic or a mind reader!" Tohru said, completely impressed with her friend's skill.
Uo sighed, trying to blow off some steam.
"Look Tohru, you can't just invite every guy you meet back to your house! Your coming over here right now and we're having a nice good long talk, ok?" Uo demanded more then asked.
"Ok Uo. I'll bring some soup too!" Tohru offered, still feeling bad about last night.
"Ok. I'll see ya soon." Uo said, hanging up.
"Bye." Tohru said before Uo hung up.
Now Tohru hung up the phone and went back to the dining room table. Little did she know, but Kyo had 'happed to overhear' most of the conversation. For once he was almost glad he was a cat.
"I'm sorry Kyo, but I need to go visit my friend Uo. She's sick and wants to see me." Tohru half lied.
Kyo nodded, picking up both Tohru's plate and his and bringing them over to the sink. Ignoring Tohru's cry of protest, he cleaned both dished and set them to dry.
When he turned around, Tohru was dressed in that days choice of clothes, a light jacket, and shoes. That and she carried a bowl of soup with serain wrap around it. Kyo blinked. How the hell did she do that so fast…? He wondered.
(A/N: Because I'm too lazy to put it all in. 3)
Kyo walked along side Tohru, holding the steaming bowl of soup. Though she had protested him carrying it, he had insisted and taken the bowl from her.
Now they walked in silence, heading toward Uo's. When they arrived, it was like Uo had been waiting for them. She burst out the front door, clothes and hair ruffled, large bags under her eyes, and anything else that would make her look more disordered and ill.
Tohru waved happily, embracing her friend when she came near. Uo quickly detached, saying she didn't want Tohru catching what ever she had.
"So, this is Kyo." Uo said after a moment, sizing him up.
Kyo's brow quirked slightly, taking in 'Uo's' disaraness.(that is so not word xD)
"Nice hair, carrot top." Uo joked with a smirk and a small snort of laughter.
Kyo glowered at her now, anger flooding through him.
"Your one to talk! Have you looked in the mirror?" Kyo shouted out angrily.
It continued like this for a while, each throwing comments back at the other. Tohru watched, attempting to calm her two friends. Sooner or later, she got them to stop, and took the bowl of soup from Kyo.
"Thank you for walking me here Kyo. Would you like to join us?" Tohru asked, tilting her head to the side.
"Nah, I have to go visit someone." Kyo excused himself. He wanted to go talk to Kazuma and visit the dojo.
Tohru's frown grew smaller slightly, but she brightened it up again.
"Ok! I'll see you later!" she called after him as he started walking off.
He rose a hand and waved absently, heading down the roads toward his 'father's' dojo.
Fae: Nyeeeh….not used to writing stories. o
Tohru: I'm sure you'll become used to them soon Fae.
Kyo: Or you'll just get worse…
Fae: Your so cold Kyo… ;.;
Kyo: Gaah….don't cry….I hate it when girls cry….
Fae: I'll take as an apology.
Fae/Tohru: See ya next time!
Kyo: Hmm….
