Chapter VI

Ok, soo… Here's the summery takes a deep breath

Kyo told Tohru he loves her, Tohru told Kyo she feels the same way... Shigure caught them kissing and Yuki is suspicious…Then… Kyo took Tohru on a picnic and on the way back they discovered they can hug with out Kyo transforming, and decided to keep it a secret. Tohru twisted her ankle at the same time and they came home to find Kagura in the house. Kyo left Tohru outside, (with her consent) where Kagura found her and called Hatori. Tohru in now confined to her bed, on doctors orders, Kagura was down stairs, Hatori left, Shigure went shopping, Yuki is still at the fundraiser. Kagura went up stairs to find Kyo in Tohru's bed… huffing and puffing

Now what…

Kyo heard the door open and, sat up. Kagura's eyes were looking straight at him, a horrified look on her face.

"Kagura" He whispered. It was too late; she had closed the door and was running down the stairs. Kyo carefully removed himself from Tohru's side and followed after her, catching her arm at the door. "Kagura, wait." He sighed "I can explain…"

"No" She cut him off. "I know what's going on…and you don't need to explain. I…I understand." Tears welled up in her eyes as she went on. "You love with Tohru, and she loves you back…I…I'm happy for you two, I really am…but…it hurts, to see you with someone else. Especially someone that can't even hold you!" She turned to look at him; the hurt was as heavy in her eyes as it was in her voice. "Please, let go."

"Wait…Please don't…" a glimmer of hope showed in her eyes. "Don't tell Akito, ok" The hope was gone.

"I won't" He released her wrist and she ran down the street, tears flowing behind her. Well…That went better then I thought it would. At least she didn't beat me up. He thought on the way back to Tohru's room.

"Where'd you go" Tohru opened her eyes feeling Kyo sit back on the bed.

"Nowhere…Just got a drink of water." He lay back next to her. She snuggled up to him, wrapping her arms around his waist. She could feel him tense, not use to the closeness of their bodies. After a few seconds he relaxed and wrapped his arm over her hip. I can get use to this…

"Kyo! Kagura! I could use some help with these bags!" Shigure. Kyo groaned and reluctantly dragged himself from the loving embrace of a drugged sleeping Tohru. He came down the stairs with a scowl and snatched a few bags from Shigure's overloaded arms.

"From your presence I would say Kagura is gone, but from the look on your face…I'd think I disturbed you, or something." Kyo would have hit him if the bags weren't weighing his arms down. Instead he shot him an icy glare and started to empty the bags.

Yuki came back in time for dinner and was surprised to find that Tohru wasn't at the table and Shigure had bought take out.

"Shigure, where is Miss Honda? Is something wrong?"

"Oh, everything's fine. Tohru had twisted her ankle earlier today, so Hatori is making her stay in bed for a few days." Yuki shot a quick look at Kyo, who was bent over his food pretending he couldn't hear the conversation. "But it's nothing too serious."

"Let me guess, it's that stupid cat's fault." Kyo didn't look up or make any comment, Yuki knew he was right.

"Actually Kyo wasn't even there. We…" Yuki cut of Shigure's explanation and turned to Kyo.

"What! You left Miss Honda alone today. How stupid are you, you ugly stupid cat." Kyo couldn't hold his temper anymore, but he couldn't tell them what really happened. He jumped to his feet and over turned the table.

"Shut up! You don't know anything you damn rat." He ran out of the house and up to the roof.

"Well, it's a good thing I left your dinner and Tohru's in the kitchen; or else it would be just as ruined as mine." Shigure started to clean up the mess, grumbling how the whole world wanted to destroy his house.

The rest of Tohru's bed rest day's were pretty much uneventful; there was the occasional checking up on her and bringing her food, but Kyo hadn't snuck in again and Yuki never left the house for long. Kyo would still start fights and sulk on the roof, and Shigure was always making his profane comments.

On the fourth day Hatori and Ayame came over; Hatori to unwrap Tohru's ankle and Ayame to bond with his younger brother. Kyo was up on the roof for the whole visit.

"Your ankle will be able to hold your weight now, but you still must be careful. No running, no walking in the woods, and try to stay off of it as much as possible, understand." Tohru nodded in agreement to Hatori's new orders. "Good."

He helped Tohru down the stairs where she was greeted in the hall by a giddy Ayame and a frustrated Yuki.

"Nice to see your doing better Miss Honda" Yuki calmly said attempting to ignore his older brother's attentions.

"I agree…But Yuki, you could have…" Ayame went back to pestering Yuki as Hatori and Tohru went into the kitchen. Shigure was in there talking to Kyo's back.

"Tohru!" He called; causing Kyo to look over his shoulder, "You're up and about, yea! Now I won't have to endure anymore of Kyo's boring meals or his listless company." Shigure did a little jig in the middle of the kitchen, Hatori rolled his eyes and Tohru smiled.

Hatori and Ayame stayed for dinner against Yuki and Kyo's wishes. The meal was hostel, but Tohru enjoyed it anyway. She had missed talk and mildly hostel atmosphere; she even missed Shigure's little taunts.

After words, Hatori and Ayame left, Kyo went to the roof, and Shigure went to the study. Tohru and Yuki were left to do the dishes.

"I really am glad to see you down here tonight. I…I blame myself for you getting hurt." Yuki hung his head so Tohru couldn't see his expression.

"You shouldn't blame yourself. It's not you fault. You weren't even there."

"That's why I do blame myself; if I hadn't left you with that stupid cat…I mean I should have known he would have left you alone."

"No, It's not your fault at all…so please don't blame yourself. I would be upset if you got upset because I got hurt. I am always getting hurt, you know; me and my clumsy self. In fact, the other day I…" She tried her hardest to cheer him up with her incessant ramblings of past injuries.

"Ok…ok," He replied with a laugh "I won't blame my self." He smiled at her for reassurance; she smiled back.

Kyo was on the roof avoiding everyone, even Tohru. Ever since Yuki told him it was his fault Tohru got hurt, he was staying away from her for her protection. It was easy to do when she was bedridden, but now that she was up and walking around, the only way he could avoid her was to stay out of the house.

"Kyo" He jumped, Tohru was sitting next to him, looking at him with worried eyes. "Are you ok."

"Yea," He paused. "Tohru…Do you think it was my fault for…for you hurting you ankle?" He asked hesitantly. Tohru looked confused for a second then thought full, Kyo was worried.

"Why would you ask that?"

"You're avoiding my question. Do you?"

"Of course not, as I told Yuki a few minutes ago it was my fault and mine only, ok." She had a stern look in her eye. She wouldn't back down till he agreed with her.

"Ok" That was that for Tohru, everything should be fixed now, shouldn't it?

Ok, I tried to make this cliff hanger a little less demanding. I probably won't be able to post another chapter till the end of the week. Soo Soory guys! It's all my fault! I feel behind in my classes! But I promise to have a chapter up by Friday night, well before 11:59 pm, ok.
