Chapter 12: Admit It
Kyo sighed deeply, choosing to ignore the voices around him. The day had passed by in a blur ever since he'd let go of her hand this morning.
'What is happening to me?' he wondered, crossing his arms over his chest and shutting his eyes.
'You're falling in love with her, aren't you?' a voice in his mind asked.
His eyes popped open. There was no way. He'd promised himself he'd never grow attached to her for fear of endangering her from his true form. His eyes widened a little more at that. Even that desire to protect was stemmed from…
"Kyo-kun!" Thankful for the distraction, he looked up at Tohru who was holding his bag out to him.
"Huh?"
"The last bell rang already. It's time to go home," she told him, smiling.
"Oh, thanks." He took his bag and walked out of the room, leaving her behind to wait for Yuki.
---------------------
"Kyo?"
"Kagura," he acknowledged, moving over to her.
"How was your day?" she asked softly, lacing her fingers with his.
"Long," he replied truthfully.
"Mine too." She smiled. "Always is when I start thinking of nothing but you."
He gazed at her, somewhat startled by her response. He didn't have the nerve to tell her that's what had happened to him. He merely nodded and started to walk, pulling her along behind him.
The rest of the walk was silent, but they didn't really notice it as they bathed in one another's company. Sometimes it was just better to be with each other when no words were needed. They reached the Sohma house faster than expected and she reluctantly said good-bye. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, she threw her arms around his neck and pressed a soft, chaste kiss to his lips.
Just as quickly as she'd done it, she retreated, and was back in the house before he could even react. He stared after her. He didn't know how long he stood there, but he was fairly certain it was more than fifteen minutes later when he left. She kept surprising him. Every time he thought he had her figured out, she'd do something totally unexpected like that. He shook his head, even though there was a fond smile on his face. It was so hard not to…
'Not to what?' He asked himself. 'To like her?'
He asked himself. ''To fall in love with her,' the voice whispered. 'You are in love with her.'
the voice whispered. 'areHe stopped walking.
'That… that is impossible,' he tried to convince himself.
'But it's not. You know it's true. Admit it already.'
He shook his head again, attempting to clear his thoughts in order to think right.
'How did this happen?' he wondered to himself.
'You got closer to her,' it persisted, trying to force himself to accept the new feelings.
'There's no way…'
His eyes widened as he realized how true the words were.
He'd fallen in love with her.
