Chapter 2 Sunsets and Unidentified Flying objects

A/N: well, actually this chapter has been modified to sunsets only because originally, kyo and tohru were going to have a food fight. But I edited this out because it was too similar to another story I read. So sorry about any confusion. And thank you to my wonderful reviewers! Yayy! Even though there aren't that many of them….. grrrr… REVIEW! REVIEW OR I WON'T FINISH THE STORY AND THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHAPTER! Ahem… anyway. Sorry if the characters are too ooc. It was necessary… and enjoy kyo's epic battle with… the straw.

I sit on the roof with my hands under my head. No one's mentioned anything about yesterday. I'm glad, but at the same time, I wish Tohru would ask me what's wrong. I know she wants to . I can see it on her face. Maybe she doesn't want to force me to talk about things I'm not ready for. Or maybe.. she just wants me to confide in her on my own.

As if on queue, I hear the ladder hit the side of the roof. I don't even have to look to know it's her. She comes and sits silently beside me.

"Hi, Tohru," I say. We sit for a while in companionable silence. I expect her to start saying something like I can always tell her if something's wrong, but she doesn't.

"-alone tonight."

"What?" I ask.

"We're going to be alone tonight," she repeats. I stare at her blankly. "Yuki-kun and Shigure-san aren't going to be here tonight."

"Huh?" I ask thoroughly confused. "Are they going to the main house or something?" she nods.

"Akito-san sent for them." We both look at each other for a moment wondering what Akito could possibly want. I notice the look on Tohru's face.

"Look, don't worry so much," I tell her. "You'll just give yourself a fever. Akito's not going to do anything to them," I assure her. I can't believe what I'm saying! Like I know what the hell Akito's going to do. I guess I just don't want Tohru to worry. "He wouldn't hurt his beloved rat!"

"I'm not worried," she tells me. I look at her skeptically. "No, really!"

"Then what's that face for?" Then I understand. "Ah. Listen to what I'm saying." I turn her head to face me. "You should know by now that the cat is never invited."

"I know but-!"

"But nothing! It's not like I want to go anyway." Then I blush deeply and let go of her.

"Kyo-kun!" She seems flustered by my touch. Could it be-? Nah. Of course not.

"Let's do something fun tonight!" she suggests. (A/N: please no sexual comments here. I get enough of those as it is. Just take it at face value okay!)

"Like what?"

"Ummm…. What would you like to do?"

"How about… a movie?" I suggest.

"Yes!" she agrees enthusiastically.

"Hm… I don't even know what's playing."

Yuki's voice floats up from the driveway. "Honda-san!"

"Oh! Yuki-kun!" Tohru stands up and walks over to the ladder. I secretly curse Yuki. Within seconds, it seems, Tohru is waving goodbye to the car as it disappears into the distance. She hurries back into the house. I go down as well and grab the phone on my way into the kitchen. Tohru follows me as I'm dialing the number for the movie theater. After a few minutes of discussing our options, we walk out of the door.

It's getting dark, and I can tell Tohru is a little scared. She clutches my arm every time she sees a shadow. I resist the urge to laugh. She looks so cute right now. Wait- did I just say cute? What's wrong with me lately? I'm not myself at all. Suddenly, she tugs my shirt.

"Kyo-kun, look! The sun is setting!

I turn and look in the direction she's pointing. I've always liked sunsets. How the clouds fade to orange, pink, and purple. I've always thought they were… pretty…. or something I guess. But now, my eyes are drawn not to the sun, but to the girl standing next to me.

"Oh! It's so beautiful! Don't you think so, Kyo-kun?" She turns to face me.

"Sure is," I say, but I'm not talking about the sun at all. How cool is this? I'm standing here, beside the one I love, watching the sunset. Again, I feel the desire to kiss her. I know I won't be able to suppress this longing for much longer, so I grab Tohru's hand and continue forward.

"Let's go see the movie," I say. She nods. Everything feels so peaceful. We walk along until Tohru's scream pierces the night air.

Oh, aren't I evil? Well, you'll just have to review to get the next chapter out of me. It's really good. Originally, I was going to combine the two, but as I was typing it, I thought… What a good place to leave off! Muahahahaha! Hope you liked it. The next chapter is the best yet! And you'll just have to wait to read about Kyo's epic battle with…. the straw.
