The next day, Momiji followed Kyo home from school. "Hey, Kyo, I heard what happened to you the other day," he said, energetically bouncing around the house. " Yeah, well, what's it to you," Kyo asked, annoyed by all of the attention that he was starting to receive by members of the Sohma family. "Well, now you can finally ask Tohru out! Like you've always wanted to, haven't you? I sure would ask her out if I was you after all," Momiji said, giggling. Kyo was starting to get really agitated. " Shut the hell up, won't you! There's people around, and it's none of your damn business anyway,"he yelled. " Kyo's yelling at me," Momiji whined as Shigure walked in from another room. Shigure frowned. " Leave the poor kid alone, Kyo. Besides, I've been listening, and he has a good point. You should at least be social for once and ask someone else; it doesn't neccessarily have to be Tohru unless you want it to be, of course. Now that you have all this sweet freedom, it's time to take advantadge of it. God only knows all of the things that I would be doing if I were in your shoes right now," he said with a perverted grin on his face. " I don't think any of us would like to know that," Yuki said, suddenly walking into the room. " Anyways, if I was you, Kyo, I wouldn't do anything crazy. After all, how do we know that what happened wasn't just some cosmic fluke or something. It's not like any girls have been hugging you since, he said. Now Kyo was really starting to get angry. " Why don't all you people just mind your own freakin business, especially you, you damn rat!" he shouted as he banged his fist down on the table. " Whatever", Yuki said, unfazed by Kyo's outburst. " I gotta go and pick up Tohru," he said. " I'm coming too, I'm coming too," Momiji said as he ran after him, leaving Kyo and Shigure alone. Shigure looked seriously at Kyo and said, " I don't know if you have any feelings for Tohru or any other girl, but now is not the time to be hiding them." Kyo just looked down at the table and sighed.
Later that night, Kagura also came to visit, but to Kyo's great relief, she simply wanted to speak privatelywith Tohru. The two girls sat quietly on Tohru's bed. Tohru smiled. " So what was it that you wanted to speak to me about, she asked sweetly. Kagura looked down, ashamed. " I just wanted to apologize to you and Kyo for the way I acted the other day, but it's just so hard for me to look him in the eye now. I know it's not his fault, and I should be happy for him, so it's very bittersweet for me. Especially because...because." "Because what," Tohru asked. " Because now you'll probably become his girlfriend and not me," she said, sounding miserable. Tohru had no idea what to say to that and just nervously twirled her hair for a minute. " You shouldn't jump to conclusions, Kagura," she said with a nervous laugh. " I'm not jumping to conclusions at all! I know my dear, darling Kyo better than anyone, and I just know he's gonna pick you! I know it," Kagura said as she shook Tohru slightly. Realizing what she was doing, she muttered an akward apology and ran out of the house." Kagura, wait!"A somewhat dizzy Tohru followed her to try to keep her from leaving, but it was too late. " What in the hell is her problem," asked Kyo, who was standing by the door. " Probably just pouting over you," Yuki answered. "Whatever," Kyo said as he walked away. Tohru sat down next to Yuki. " Yuki, can I ask you something, well, a little strange?" " Sure, anything you want, you know that," Yuki said with an angelic smile. Tohru sighed. " Do you think Kyo likes me?"
I'll end chapter 2 there. Yeah I put in another moody Kagura outburst. lol I hope it wasn't too crappy. Thanks for the lovely reviews. Sorry if this took too long. I was a little busy with Valentines Day depression and writing a report about refracting telescopes and other crap. I'll try to be quicker with the next one. Tell me any ideas.
