The mornings drunk rantings carried on until the evening when ayame finally finished Shigures
measurements and got as sloshed as he could. The two were sitting on the ground back to back
complementing eachother with seducive tones. Tohru, walking into the room at the worst possible
times throughout the evening caught things such as 'Ayame dear, your hair is ravishing' or
'Shigure...those pants would look great on me, wanna switch?' Tohru couldnt help but laugh and
wound up cutting her finger while slicing some carrots for the stir fry.
"OW!" She screamed holding her finger in the air and running to the upstairs bathroom for a
bandaid. Bumping into Kyo on the way out she shoved past him and flung things behind her as she
pulled out the box of bandaids with a triumphant 'AH-HAA'
Kyo stepped into the bathroom to ask what was going on but got distracted by Tohru fumbing with
the bandaid wrapper.
"Lemme get that." he said yanking the bandaid out of her hand and effortlessly opening it.
"Your such a klutz. How the hell did you manage to cut yourself THIS time?" Kyo said leaning up
against the wall waiting for an explination.
" I was cutting carrots for the stir-fry and Ayame and Shigure are hammered. Theyre complementing
eachother really strangely while leaning on eachothers backs. Ayame said something about Trading
pants with Shigure and i burst out laughing. I cut myself because i wasnt paying attention." She
whined as he attatched the bandaid to her finger and tied a cloth around it to stop the pulsing. Kyo
laughed and walked down stairs where Ayame and Shigure were sitting with bottles of beer in their
laps, stroking them like kittens. He laughed loudly and got mean glares from them both.
"Dont be so loud Kyo! your going to wake the children!" Ayame screamed loudly. Kyo nodded
with a crazy grin on his face and went into the kitchen where he waited for Tohru to come
downstairs.
"Ah Tohru dear. I love that skirt...might i try it on?" Shigure said sounding like an old woman. She
laughed with a headshake and made her way over the four legs that were sprawled across the floor.
Ayames twitching rapidly and Shigures moving back and forth like windsheild wipers.
"I hope you didnt wake the children" Kyo said mockingly as Tohru made her way back to the
cutting board, where she picked up the carrots that fell on the floor and tossed them into the
garbage can.
"Oh..so thats why theyre cradleing their beer bottles. Got it.By the way, Shigures planning on
crossdressing sometime in the near future i think." Tohru said beginning to chop more vegetables.
Kyo slowly walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You do to much. Just order in. Besides, we've had Stir-fry for the past week..im getting tired of it."
Kyo said hugging her.
"But..this is all we have. And i dont have money to order in!" Tohru said turning around. Hers and
Kyos faces very close.
"So take some from Shigure's wallet. Hes so gone right now, he'll probably believe that squid
monsters took it while he was taking care of the baby." Kyo said kissing her softly.
"But...im no good at lying." Tohru said, trying to think of ways to not take his money, so that she
could stay there with Kyo longer.
"Then i'll do it. I have NO problems lying to Shigure. Hes wasted. let him think what he wants." Kyo
said with a mirthful tone. Tohru laughed and nodded.
"Okay, but if he asks, i had nothing to do with it." she said cunningly. Kyo smiled gave her a quick
kiss and ran off to find Shigures hiding place of the week. Tohru looked at the now burt and inedible
food and dumped it into the trashcan, following behind Kyo. Heading up the stairs, she listened
intently for the next odd saying coming out of either of the sloshed mens mouthes. Figuring it was
wasted time, she headed upstairs as one of them, possibly Ayame had said a derogatory comment
about how poorly dressed the maid was these days. She shook it off, knowing they were drunk and
continued up the stairs. Finding Kyo rustling through the bathroom cabinets, she stepped inside to
find Kyo pulling Shigures wallet out of a box of bandaids.
"That man is FAR to protective" Tohru said crossing her arms and shaking her head.
"Yea...he is an odd one. However, i think ive been living here farrr too long...this was the first place
i thought of looking. Last time, he hid it inside the plunger..." Kyo said shuddering "Oh...so youve
done this before have you?" She said moving closer, her hips swaying ever so slightly.
"And what is it to you if i did?" He said wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Then you...my friend, are a very bad person." she said as they leaned in to kiss him. However, the
moment was broken when Ayame and Shigure came thudding up the stairs holding hands.
"Oh...young love. Dont get too carried away you two...were going to have adult ti...i mean, were
going to Bed!" Ayame said in a singsong voice, sounding like Shigure. Their eyes grew wide as they
burst out laughing, following them into Tohrus room before they really did something they would
regret in the morning...aside from the hangover. Thrusting open the door, Tohru laughed as Ayame
was attempting to braid shigures hair while talking about the level of cuteness some of the celebrities
are. She slid to the ground and clutched her stomach as Kyo stifled a loud HAR and helped her up.
Kyo walked into the room and crossed his arms. Shigure looked up at him with a smile.
"Helloooooo there cutie! Wont i look fabulous when Mrs.Schomea is done with my hair? Ill be the
prettiest girl at the fall paegent." Shigure stated seriously. That did it. Kyo cracked up and fell to the
ground staring at the two in disbelief as he wiped a tear from his eye.
"You...willl...be GORGEOUS!" Kyo said imitaiting him as much as possible. Shigure and Ayame
nodded in agreement, but soon passed out on Tohrus bed after frolicing around like little girls
listening to a boy band. Tohru walked inside and stared at them in disbelief.
"Just how much beer did they have?" she asked Kyo curiously. He shrugged his shoulders and got
up, running downstairs to count the bottles. Tohru came down a few minutes later to find Kyo high
into the 20s as he put the stuff into a black trash bag. Finishing at 19 bottles of beer, 19 sakes, and
2 bottles of wine, he had a total of 40 alchoholic beverages between the two.
"Woah.. how the heck did they not get alchohol poisoning?" She asked astonished.
"I have no idea." Kyo said with an equally stunned intonation. He blinked a few times and shrugged
his shoulders once more before hauling the stuffed trash bag outside by the cans. Coming back
inside he realised that Tohru was upstairs checking on the two drunken, passed out men while
calling for some food. She came back downstairs and hung up the cordless phone to charge.
"Food'll be here in about 30 minutes" she said going to clean up the kitchen. Kyo nodded and
proceeded to help her by washing down the table and drying dishes. By the time everything was
said and done, it was about 7:00pm and the food was late. Again. no surprise however, Shigures
house could be hard to find on occasion. About 30 minutes after it was expected, the food came
and it was partially cold. "sorry, i had trouble finding your house." the delivery boy said
apolegetically. Kyo rolled his eyes grabbed the food gave him less than it actually cost and slammed
the door in his face. Tohru looked at him with a shocked expression and opened her container of
food. "Ew...this isnt what i ordered. Whats with the eel?" She asked poking the long squiggly thing,
expecting it to move. Kyo shrugged and switched boxes with her. She gave him a weird look and
scrunched her nose up.
"I have no problem with this kind of stuff." He said picking up the slippery black thing with his
chopsticks and taking a bite out of it, making Tohru gag.
"Gross." she mumbled as she tore into the teriyaki chicken in the small white container. Grabbing
two pops out of the fridge she ventured back into the living room where Kyo was flipping channels
randomly. Flipping the tab, Tohru guzzled half the can of pop and burped unattractively. Kyo
looked at her with a amused look on his face and patted her back.
"You know, youve changed so much." he said in disbelief.
"Hows that?" she queried "You NEVER would have done the things you do now when we all first
met. Now, you speak your mind, you belch...and you tell me when somethings bugging
you...usually." Kyo said, proud of her. Tohru blushed a deep red and nodded, agreeing with the
unavoidable fact that she HAD changed over the past 4 years.
"Sorry, I try to behave...but around you...i just...feel like i can be myself. Not the quiet, meek kid i
normally am." Tohru said looking at her feet. Kyo laughed and pulled her into a hug.
" I wouldnt have it any other way. So how much stuff HAVE you been hiding from me...us?" Kyo
said poking her side. Grinning and pulling away from him, she crossed her legs and faced him.
"Weeelll... I hate leeks just about as much as you do...laundry is my least favorite
chore...uhh...uhhh..." she thought tapping her finger on her chin. Kyo smiled broadly at the leek
comment and continued to listen intently.
" Yuki...i always thought was nice, but a little prissy..and i hate Kagura with an intense passion." She
said nodding her head. Kyo laughed hard and leaned his head on her shoulder.
"oohhh...your so evil..Why do you hate Kagura?" He asked looking up at her.
"cause...i dunno. She didnt bother me when we first met...i thought it was admirable, her love for
you. But then she grew annoying to me and it just seemed to make me angry every time she was
around...clinging to you and ruining the house and whatnot." she said twidling her fingers and staring
down at them. Kyo smiled and nodded his head. "why did it bother you to see her cling to me?" he
perservered.
"Your loving this arent you?" Tohru laughed, watching Kyo nod his head. She sighed and focused
back on her shoes, which seemed to be really facinating or something.
"Cause...I..ifellinlovewithyou" she said mumbling and slurring her words together.
"what? you mumbled"
"I fell in love...with you...Kyo." She said thorougly embarassed. Kyo pulled her into a hug and ran
his fingers through her long brown hair. "I see. I love you too." He said into her ear softly. The rest
of the meal was silent, but not an awkward silence, it was enjoyable. But quiet. Tohru got up and
began to clean the mess up when they had finished eating, making sure the silence stayed where it
was, loving every moment of it. Momiji was at the head Sohma house, Yuki was God knows
where, Shigure and Ayame were knocked out cold, plastered to Tohrus pink floral bedcovers and
the far away sounds of the city life stopped the noise from being too quiet. Kyo got up and walked
upstairs to check on the two guys and head up to the roof. He sat there watching the sun inch its
way toward the ground, the sky darkening a tiny bit with each step it took. Soon, the stars became
apparent and cast a luminecent glow on the wispy clouds that hung lazily in the sky. Tohru was
heard clunking up the stairs as the last bit of sunlight lingered in the air. She sat down next to Kyo
with a contemplated look. "Whats up?" He asked leaning back and resting on his palms.
"I just realized this now. I have nowhere to sleep tonight. Ayame and Shigure are on my
bed...Shigures foot is splayed across the floor and hed drooling on my pillowcase. Ayame has his
head shoved under my pillow and his arm is over shigures head, his finger poking his eye every time
he twitches. Yes, he is twitching." Tohru said staring at the sky as a pale orange glow slowly
disappeared from the sky.
"I dont envy the headache they'll have tomorrow. But as for the sleeping situation...not sure. you
could stay in my room, or on the couch, or we could just stay up here all night...away from the beer
stench that i cant seem to get out of the house." Kyo said looking at her. She yawned and leaned
her head against his shoulder as he wrapped an arm around her. She scooted in and closed her
eyes. "I think...the...couch...will be..." She said as she drifted off to sleep. Kyo smiled and continued
to watch the light fade from the horizon, slowly falling asleep himself.
Morning came quicker than expected and Kyo woke up unpleasently to the blinding sun beating
straight into his eyes. He grumbled thinking he was in his room and groped aggrivated for his
bedcovers. Sitting up quickly, he looked around the rooftop and sighed as he figured out that he had
fallen asleep up here. Tohru, who had drifted off on Kyos shoulder, was now dangerously close to
falling off the roof, with her foot and most of her lower leg in the gutter and her arm dangling off the
edge of the house. Kyo hopped up from the slanted portion of the roof and dragged Tohru across
the roof, waking her up in the process.
"But Shigure..i dont wanna eat the tofuuuu" she mumbled as she was shaken from her dream and sat
up glaring blatantly at the sky.
"wow. thats a bright moon" she said as she rolled back over and closed her eyes. Kyo rolled his
eyes and sat down next to her, drawing his knees up to his chin and clasping his hands. "Well...at
least she wont fall here."He mumbled as a cat hopped out from a near by tree and began rubbing its
head against Kyos hand looking for a headscratch.
"Man..the curse is lifted and you things still wont leave me alone" He said with an affectionate tone
while scratching the cats ears. In the two hours that Tohru had crashed again, Kyo had managed to
get up and down the roof three times in order to check the wellbeing of Shigure and Ayame, who
had major hangovers, get some breakfast and grab a can of Tuna for the cat that seemed to be
stuck to his roof and wouldnt leave him alone. Tohru woke up finally and sat up rubbing her head.
"Wha time isit?" She said slightly slurring her words. Kyo glanced from the eating cat to Tohru and
shrugged.
"'Bout twelve-thirty...i think." he said looking back down at the cat.
"oh. Whered the cat come from?" She said tapping her fingers on the roof, getting the cats attention.
"Dunno, he just hopped out of the tree and began to pester me" He said running his hand over his
back. Tohru smiled and did the same.
"hes cute...we should keep him..." She said picking up the small cat and cradleing him like a baby.
"How are Ayame and Shigure?" Tohru asked scratching the cats stomach.
"Hung over and complaining. Nothing short of expected i guess. Not as insane as yesterday though.
Their insanity meter dropped about ten levels." Kyo said updating Tohru, who was obsessing over
the cat. The cat couldnt be more than a year old. he had all black fur except for an out of place tiny
white spot on her stomach. She had aqua eyes and was abmormally calm for a young cat. Kyo,
seeing that Tohru was completely infatuated with the cat, decided that they could keep it and was
sure that Shigure couldnt care less about the thing in the house. After hopping around like a maniac
at the fact that Tohru had gotten a cat, he settled down and thought of the name ' Takuto' for the
cat. (A/N Disclaimerrr: I dont own Takuto. Though sometimes i wish i did. No, Takuto belongs to
the great Arina Tanemura, the Manga-ka of "Full Moon wo Sagashite". I was gonna name the cat
Gigi from Kikis Delivery Service, but Gigi would be too well known. Malky, another choice,
wouldnt have worked because the cat wasnt white Malky is the name of Elphabas cat in "Wicked:
Life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West" By Gregory McGuire Sooo i went with Takuto...i
know Cat form of Takuto is white...but i love me some Takuto-kun soooo yea.) Weeks flew by like
usual and wedding preparations were going quickly. Ayame, the now official wedding planner, was
running back and forth between the bride and groom, making everything on order for the wedding,
which would happen December 23. Ayame kept Tohru and Kyo busy by having them help with
Decoration hunting and reception planning. Tohru was in charge of finding a honeymoon place and
going out almost daily with Kyo to get mroe abnormal things Ayame insisted he had to get. Oddball
things like party streamers and an array of fake flowers. Along with a hula skirt and a 300 pack of
bendy straws. Figuring they would save their instanity by not asking, the two decided to fill his
rediculous demands and continue on.
Around the end of November, the snow started to fall and rain either turned in to snow or became
an icy mess. Walking home from another one of Ayames last minute 'i desperately need these would
you two be darlings and get them for me' missions, Tohru and Kyo took the long way home and
enjoyed the cold winnter air and eachothers company.
"Ayame is kinda scaring me lately." Tohru said to Kyo who was glancing in the bag once again to
make sure everything was there.
"Yea...why in the world would you need 'its a boy' banners for a wedding?" Kyo marveled, hold
ing up the shiny blue and silver banner. Tohru shrugged and looked up at the grey sky as a light
snow began to fall. "Heeey...its snowing!" She stated, staring up at the sky again, watching the
flakes fall delicately on the ground and her black mittens, making wet blots in places. She smiled and
shifted over to the grass to avoid a large patch of ice that had formed in the sidewalk. Coming back
on the seemingly safe sidewalk, Tohru quickly slipped, falling on her butt and smacking her head
against a fire hydrent. "ow." she stated a little less concerned than one should be. "Durn black ice."
she said accepting Kyos offer and taking his hand, hopping up and rubbing her head.
"Ya ok?" Kyo asked looking at her. "No... kinda dizzy. That realy hurt. Am i bleeding?" She said
turning around letting Kyo poke at her hair. "Nope. but your gonna have one hell of a bruise later.
Cmon...last thing we need is an unconcious Tohru." He said putting her on his back and continuing
on. She leaned her head on Kyos shoulder and watched as the intricate snowflakes fell on her
mitten and melted into little spots.
Getting in to the house, Kyo let Tohru down and grabbed her an icepack as he handed Ayame his
bag of unusual assorted items.
"Thank you Kyoou" he said, drawing out his name in song. He nodded and handed Tohru the
icepack. She thanked him with a hug and leaned back on the couch, propping her legs on Kyos lap.
He smiled at her and closed his eyes as Tohru drifted off to sleep as well, Takuto pawing her
stomach and finding a comfortable position.
Shigure leaned on the doorframe and rubbed his head as he looked at the sleeping couple. He
smiled and walked over to the table where Ayame was writing a few things down in a small spiral
notebook.
"We're lucky it was Tohru... i think anyone else wouldnt have broken the curse." Shigure said
looking at his best friend. Ayame nodded and stole a glance into the living room, where Tohru had
shifted positions, causing Takuto to move to her head and Kyo to sling an arm over her leg. "Yea. I
think we should be a little bit more grateful than we put out." He said haveing one of his very rare
serious moments. "With the wedding in a mere 3 weeks, were not giving them a lot of alone time
huh?" Ayame said to Shigure, who was fishing through the bag of stuff.
"Yea. Hey, Ayame, whats all this stuff for anyways?" Shigure asked, pulling out the 'It's a Boy!'
Banner. "Oh!" Ayame laughed with a mirthful tone. "Thaaatt! I just sent them on those rediculous
errands to give them some down time. I dunno, ill find some use for them, im sure." Ayame
admitted, shoving the banner back into the bag and stuffing it in his tote bag. Shigure laughed
aprrovingly and sighed. "Ok. Back to work then. What all is left to do?" Shigure asked, pushing
some stray hairs out of his eyes.
"Ummmmm" Ayame studdered, flipping through pages in ihs planner. "Finding Wedding parties.
You know, bridesmaids, groomsmen, Best man, Maid of honor, flower girl, ring bearer, that kind of
stuff. " Ayame said flipping his cellphone out and handing the cordless phone to Shigure. "Time to
make some calls." Ayame said dialing Miis phone number. Shigure picked up the phone and began
to call people, starting with Hatori and down the line. A feww hours flew by and as the two were
finishing up the phonecalls, the sun was setting, causing the lighting to grow dim. A low thunder
began to roll and a storm began to brew as they were finishing up the last phone call. Shigure put the
phone down and sighed, jotting down a list of whos attending.
"Ok. Ive got...Haru, Hatori and Yuki as groomsmen.Im going to ask Kyo to be the fourth
groomsmen. Hiro agreed to be the ringbearer since Momiji will be in Germany during the wedding.
and Ayame, I want you to be the best man..ok?" Shigure said looking up. Ayame beamed and
threw his head back in a triumphant laugh.
"Of Course!" He sung loudly. Shigur laughed along with him and cleared his throat.
"The bridesmaids are: Kagura agreed, as did Miis sister Risa, Rin agreed although she wont be hear
for rehersal, im going to ask Tohru when she wakes up and Miis best friend Arisa is going to be the
maid of honor. Kisa has agreed to be the flower girl." Ayame rambled on, writing it down as he
spoke. Shigure nodded and flopped his head down on the table, making a mock snore.Ayame
laughed and closed his book.
"Thats enough for one day. Lets get Tohru to make some dinn...nope, never mind. We'll just go out
for some food. Let them have the house for a while." Ayame said, correcting himself mid-sentence.
Shigure nodded and plucked his wallet from a bag of flour. Ayame looked at him oddly and shook
his head.
"I still have yet to figure out what exactly runs through your head my friend." Ayame siad beginning
out the back door.
"Ohhh...Well. Kyo had taken a habit of making me make contributions to meals without my
knowledge of me making contributions. So i hide my wallet in a different spot daily." Shigure said
with a mirthful chuckle. Ayame left the house more confused than he started out. Shigure caught up
with him moments later and they headed off to the nearest fast-food restaraunt, the storm getting
heavier and heavier.
Kyo woke up due to the obnoxiously loud thunder and shuffled around the still sleeping Tohru and
Cat. Kyo slumped around the house, reading the note taped to the table and grabbing a can of pop
out of the fridge. He flopped down on the chair adjacent to the couch and propped his feet up on
the coffee table,watching Tohru sleep while listening to the thunder grow increasingly louder. After
about 15 minutes of trying to fall back asleep, Tohru regretably sat up and moved the cat off of her
ankle. She scratched her head and hissed when she ran across the large bruise that had formed
while she was sleeping. She looked out of the front window and wrinkled her nose as the rain grew
heavier and splattered against the window. "Ew. How long as it been storming?" She said looking
out the window still. "Dunno...but Shigure and Ayame went to some fast food place. So nobody
else is here." Kyo said flipping through the TV guide and glancing up at her. She nodded and
glanced at the window once more, seeing a flash of lighning come dnagerously close to hitting the
telephone pole outside. Her eyes grew wide and she grabbed a lighter from one of the bookshelves.
"Just in case the power-" Tohru began, cutting herself off when the power line got struck and the
lights went out. "Goes out...like that!" Tohru said getting up and banging her knee on the table.
"Hey Kyo? Do you still have that amazing night vision? I cant see worth crap." She said waving her
hand around the table and touching Kyos arm. Kyo took the lighter from her hand and got up,
clicking the lighter and heading towards a candle.
" Oh...yea, sorry. Im stupid." She said sitting back on the couch. Kyo shook his head while carrying
a candle to the coffee table and sat down next to Tohru. "Nope. Just a lil ditzy." Kyo said hugging
her. She smiled and sat back. "Well, what now?" Tohru asked as she turned towards Kyo, who
was watching the flame on the candle dance wildly. He shrugged his shoulders and continued to
watch the flame bob back and forth. Tohru smiled as she leaned on his shoulder and closed her
eyes.
"The quiet is nice, no screaming Ayames or Shigures running around the house like two year olds."
Tohru said, looking up a Kyo who nodded in agreement. Kyo looked down at her and smiled
softly, pressing his lips against hers a few moments later. Shocked at first, Tohru quickly got over it
and closed her eyes, melting into his kiss. She leaned back and wrapped her arms around his neck,
twirling her finger in his hair. Kyo broke the kiss long enough to remind Tohru that he loved her
before kissing her again, wrapping one arm around her waist and taking her hand in his, interlacing
their fingers. Kyo let Tohru pull him down furthur onto the couch and it seemed like everything
stopped around them. The thunder seemed to die away and the candles glow dimmed. There was
nothing but them. No troubles, no Ayame or Shigure, no lightning or thunder. The power stayed out
until Shigure found the time to do it. So naturally, Kyo wound up doing it, knowing he would get fed
up with living like cavemen. Tohru looked outside to see all of the damage the storm caused last
night and noticed that everything was covered in ice and it was now snowing. She smiled lightly and
walked outside to check on Kyo. Hugging herself against the wind, she looked up at Kyo and saw
him decending the ladder going up to the powerline. He hopped down the last few rungs and looked
up at his handywork. Kyo glanced over at Tohru and frowned.
"What are you doing? Its fucking freezing out here and you dont even have a coat on" Kyo said
looking at Tohru, who just had a light blue sweater on, compared to him, who had a hat and thick
coat. She shrugged and squinted her eyes against the wind.
"Just came out to see how you were doin." She said sadly, thinking he was angry with her, that
thought quickly leaving her head however as he pulled her into a warm embrace.
"Your gonna get sick." He muttered against her hair. She sighed and wrapped her arms around his
waist.
"Ill go back inside then" She said letting go, but being caught by him grabbing her hand.
"Ill go with ya, im done anyways." Kyo said sliding his arm around her waist and kissing her cheek.
Walking into the house, Kyo shrugged off his shoes and made his way into the kitchen after Tohru,
who was in the midst of making cocoa. Shigure and Ayame were down to the last few small things
for the wedding, like, last minute details that were easily solved like cake frosting or something.
Tohru grabbed four cups out of the cabinets and slowly poured the hot water over the cocoa
powder, adding milk and peppermint sticks that were crushed up. She slid two mugs over to the
two quarreling men and handed one to Kyo while taking a sip of her own. "Hey, Kyo?" She asked
as she set her mug on the coffee table and watched Kyo sit down next to her.
"Can you help me later on? Im gonna get some of the christmas boxes out of the attic." She asked
again watching him sip his cocoa and cringe when he burned his tounge.
"Ugh... no not about that the cocoa, too hot. But yea, ill help you. Not like ive got much else to do.
I think theres still some boxes in you--" Kyo said, cutting himself off as Shigure and Ayame rushed
into the room.
"AH! We forgot to ask! Kyo, Tohru, how would you two like to be a Bridesmaid and a
Groomsmen?" Ayame said with Shigure, who was attempting at puppy eyes. Tohru smiled and
nodded quickly.
"Yea! Sure!" She said as Kyo nodded and shrugged his shoulders.
"Why not." He murmered as The two men walked away proudly. Finishing their Cocoa, the two
headed upstairs to find the Christmas boxes.
three weeks later
Tohru sat on Kyos shoulders as she put the star shaped tree topper on the Christmas tree happily.
Letting her down, Kyo stood behind her and wrapped his arms around hers. "Looks nice!" Kyo
said enthusiastically. He stole a quick kiss and walked hugged her tighter. "TOHRUUU! C'monnn!
We have to get you in your dress!" Ayame hollered from the top of the stairs, smiling at Kyo, who
was already wearing the black and white suit thing that all the groomsmen were wearing. Tohru
nodded and ran upstairs to her room, where Kisa and Mii were to help her with her cornflower blue
dress. About 15 minutes later, Tohru came clicking shakily down the stairs in three inch heels.
"Ow...ow..owowowooow...now i know why i never wear heels" Tohru complained as she stumbled
down the stairs. Kyo stared open mouthed at her and grinned.
"Dont drool now." she said closing his mouth. He snarled mockingly and looked down at her feet.
"Ouch. On the plus side, your a lot taller!" Kyo joked, earning a weak punch to his upper arm. Kyo
held his arm out to escort Tohru outside and they made their way to the limo that was taking
everyone in the wedding party to the wedding. The bride and groom required to be there early.
The large white church loomed over the white grounds and practically blinded the people heading
towards it. Inside was decorated appropriately with white and red flowers and such. Shigure stood
awkwardly at the altar talking to a couple of his relatives or friends or something. He laughed and it
echoed through the halls. The stained glass windows cast beautiful colors of reds and greens and
blues across the church walls and floors, giving everything a holy touch. Tohru walked into the
dressing room where all the bridesmaids gathered in order to make sure the bride didnt back out.
Unlike most brides, Mii was unusually excited, saying how perfect everything was and how
handsome Shigure looked and how she was sooooo lucky. Mii was naturally excentric and they
took it as a good thing in this case. The church bell sounded twice and the girls took that as a sign to
get ready to head out. They lined up accordingly with the bridesmaids, the maid of honor, the flower
girl and then Mii and her father. The pianist began the wedding march and everyone turned to watch
the row of women walk down the asile. Tohru took her place at the sidea altar with the other
bridesmaids and smiled at Kisa, who scurried next to Tohru and hid herself behing her arm. Mii
walked down the asile with her father and Shigure smiled softly. Kyo glanced over at Tohru and
returned his gaze to the front. Mii stepped up to the altar and smiled at Shigure behind her veil. The
preist began to go into a babbling old person speech about the pleasures of true love. After about
15 minutes of the 90 year old preist to finish babbling and a few feet shuffles later, he finally moved
on to the vows. After the first set of vows, Shigure nodded and replied " I do" The Priest smiled and
turned to Mii "Do you, Moo...i mean Mii Tanaka, take Shigure Sohma to...be your flawless..i mean
lawfully wedded hubby...HUSBAND. To love and to cherish and to...do everything i just said to
him?" He said, growing angry with the fact that he called her "moo". She nodded and and answered
"I..I do" Everyone in the pews gasped happily and smiled when the Priest finally said "I now
pronounce you Man and Wife, you may kiss the bride" and Shigure and Mii Kissed. Tohru smiled
and clapped her hands with everyone, looking over at Kyo quickly.
The Wedding Reception was nice, the cake Ayame got was large and obnoxious and the food was
delicious. After the eating was over, everyone got onto the dance floor and...well.. danced. Shigure
and Mii, Ayame and Mine(Mee-nay), Kyo and Tohru, Yuki and Mikoto(? just a name), Hiro and
Kisa, Hatsuharu and Rin, Uotani, who is related to Mii, and Kureno and Hanajima and Sushiro.
Others eventually joined in and the dancing continued until late into the evening, when Shigure and
Mii had to leave to catch the plane to Hawaii, in the united states. The party ended then and
Everyone begant to head home except for the few who voulenteered to help clean up. Those few
being Haru, Rin, Kisa and Kureno. Hiro decided he would help with small stuff and Yuki stayed to
pack up extra food. Kyo and Tohru unlocked the door to the house and blindly shuffled around for
the lightswitch for the hall. Walking into the living room, she turned the lights on the tree on and kept
the others off, letting the soft colors illuminate the room dimly. there were a good amount of presents
under the tree for Kyo and Tohru, others for yuki and Momiji and them, who would be getting them
on New years at the party that Kyo finally agreed to go to. Until then, The two had the house to
themselves, with the exception of Takuto, who kept to himself mostly. She sat down on the couch
and yawed, sliding off her shoes carefully. Putting them off to the side, whe slunk upstairs to take a
shower and get into some pajamas, giving Kyo time to put the presents he got for her under the
tree.
Coming downstairs in light purple flanel pajamas, Tohru looked at Kyo who was seemingly asleep
on the couch. She grabbed her presents out of the linen closet and placed them randomly under the
tree, moving over to the couch and sitting down. Leaning into the partially asleep Kyo, she smiled as
he cracked one eye open and grinned as he wrapped his arms around her and sighed into her
hair.She closed her eyes and snuggled into the blanket she pulled over them and into Kyos arms.
Sighing with a relieved sound, she relaxed and drifted off to sleep with the thought that everything
was going to be okay.
