Kyo awoke the next morning to find himself wrapped up in blankets on the couch. He looked down to see Tohru fast asleep on the floor next to him. Slowly Tohru opened her eyes.
"Oh Kyo-kun." said Tohru as her face turned red, "I'm sorry I
wa-..."
"It's okay you don't need to apologize." smiled Kyo.
"Umm...K-kyo-kun." said Tohru sitting up. "Yesterday I found a way to get rid of the curse. I have it on the counter if you want it done. I told Hatori-san that he should wait until you were awake to give it to you."
"Okay sure I'll do it." said Kyo sitting up, "Where is Hatori?"
"He said that he had an appointment this morning that he couldn't miss so he tough me how to do it." said Tohru, "It's a shot."
She got up and went to go get the shot.
"Ready?" asked Tohru coming back with it.
"Yeah." said Kyo, "OW!"
"OH! I'm So sorry!" cried Tohru , "Are you okay? I'm finished. You may feel sleepy or dizzy but it won't be for a long time. How are you feeling?"
"A little dizzy but fine." said Kyo rubbing his arm.
"Kyo-kun to see if it worked I need to hug you." said Tohru as her face turned red.
Kyo leaned over and hugged Tohru.
"Umm... K-kyo-kun you also need to take off your bracelet." said Tohru turning a brighter shade of red, "Just to see if you need more." She let go of Kyo.
Kyo looked down at his black and red bracelet around his wrist. He fidgeted with the beads for a moment. Then slowly pulled it off. As soon as it was off he closed his eyes. A few minutes later he opened them again.
"Tohru...Thank you..." whispered Kyo leaning forward and kissing Tohru gently on the lips.
"Aww! So cute!" said a voice from the doorway.
It was Shigure. The two looked up startled. Tohru face turned red and she hurried to the kitchen to get breakfast. Kyo swore loudly at Shigure
"Aah Kyo-kun I see that you have gotten your shot or else you would have transformed." said Shigure as he watched Kyo get up and walk over to lay in a sunny spot on the porch. "But, I see that we will have the same qualities we did when we still had the curse."
Kyo turned his back to Shigure. He opened his hand to reveal his bracelet.
"Well not all the same." thought Kyo as he felt a wave of sleep wash over him.
