Here's the second chapter...I'm fast, right? thanks to those who reviewed. i'm just happy i get some!
Kyo opened his eyes, and he squinted as he blinked into the sunlight. He was in his room, bandages on his face and arms, and his leg was wrapped up in white bindings. He sat up quickly in his bed, with the first thing in his mind being, "Is Tohru alright?"
He uncovered himself and stood up out of bed. The pain in his knee still remained, but he didn't care. He just had to see her. He just had to see Tohru. He ran out of his room, but was stopped by Hatori in the hall.
"Kyo, you shouldn't be out of bed. You have to go back and rest for now," Hatori explained, impassive.
"I gotta see Tohru! I just gotta!" Kyo practically whined to Hatori, and almost whimpered. "Then I'll go back to bed," he quickly added.
Hatori sighed, "Alright you can go see her. She'll probably be happy to see you."
Kyo ran past him down the hall. He stood outside Tohru's door, afraid to open it. His only real fear was that the rat was in there…probably leaking the room with his perfection. Kyo grunted in disgust. He forgot about Yuki and opened the door leisurely. He peeked in, and thankfully, Yuki wasn't in there. He had worried himself for nothing. But Tohru did see him.
"Kyo…is that you?" her voice was just above a whisper. She was sitting up in her bed, bandages covering her face and arms too. She also had this cloth wrapped around her head, tightly; some of it trickled with some blood in the back.
"Y-yea," he stammered, opening the door fully. He limped into her bright room and leaned against the wall.
"Oh, Kyo! Come sit on my bed, if you want to…with me…" She smiled at him, letting a small blush arise on her cheeks. She patted a spot on the bed next to her. He limped over to her awkwardly, a small cherry blush on his cheeks, and flopped down on her bed. Kyo was about to open his mouth to ask her why she had gone through the forest and had done something stupid, even though he knew it wouldn't sound the same when he said it aloud, but Tohru interrupted him.
"Kyo, I wanted to apologize. I shouldn't have been out there, in the forest, all alone. I don't want you to worry for me any more. I just wish I could be more responsible, and I just want you to trust me that I'll do a good job." Tohru hung her head, feeling tears prick her eyes. One reluctantly slid down her cheek. She felt so pathetic for getting herself in trouble and putting herself and Kyo in danger.
Tohru felt a hand wipe her tears away off her cheeks. She looked up into those dreamy, crimson red eyes. Those eyes that shone like fire, and yet led to the opening of a soul. A very lonely soul. "I'm the one who should be apologizing. I…I can always trust you…it's okay. Don't put yourself down…especially because of me. I'm just glad you're alright. I'm not worth getting so upset over." Kyo looked downward, seeming like he wasn't even worthy enough to look into her beautiful eyes.
"No! No, Kyo! Of course, you're worth it! You mean everything to…I mean…you're a very important person Kyo. You're going to make someone feel so happy to have ever met you. Like me. A-and they're going to treasure every moment spent with you. I would. Because you're worth it, Kyo, because you're…you're just so…perfect, amazing, the most handsome thing I've ever seen; I could go on and on. You're…wonderful." Tohru managed to stutter. Her mind was taking over and she just couldn't get the right words out. Her cheeks were tinted in a rosy color.
Kyo blushed and turned his head quickly away. "I'm…I'm just glad you're okay. You scared me last night. I thought I lost you there for a second…and then you woke up…and that was all I needed…just knowing that you were fine, I could have fallen down dead."
"Kyo! Don't talk like that!" She smacked him on his arm, harder than expected. He cringed in pain and his other hand flew to the arm to rub it. She had slapped on one of his wounds and the skin had turned a bright red. "Ohmigod! Kyo, I'm sorry! I didn't mean…" she placed her delicate hand gently on his arm on the spot she had hit. Kyo shivered by her touch. He cupped his hand around hers, and gently squeezed it, letting her know silently that it was okay. He smiled at her and she got butterflies in her stomach. So this is what love feels like…
So this is love…something I could only dream to feel. "I'd better get back to bed. I promised Hatori that after I had seen you, I'd go back to bed." Kyo got up.
"B-b-but, Kyo! Can't you stay…please?" Tohru pleaded. "I don't want you to go! Please…you can lay here with me…and rest here!" She blushed again.
Kyo stopped walking out of the doorway and turned to face her. He knew his cheeks had turned beet red from blushing, since they felt on fire. "I can't believe I'm going to do this…" he ran his fingers through his orange tresses.
He hobbled back over to the bed and lay down next to Tohru. He closed his eyes, not wanting to look at the girl of his dreams, especially while lying on her bed with her. Then, he felt something tickle on the top of his head. His eyes snapped open. Tohru was smiling next to him, eyes half-closed, playing with some of the locks of his hair.
"Thank you, Kyo…" she whispered softly. Her hand ran slowly down his head, to his neck, and then to his shoulder. Kyo shivered. "Kyo, are you cold?" she felt his forehead. "Are you coming down with something?"
"No." Kyo took her hand from his forehead and held it in his. "I'm okay."
"Kyo, I…I don't know what I would have done…if you weren't there…to rescue me! I'll always know that if I ever fall, you'll be there to catch me," Tohru smiled again and sighed. Her head sagged and fell deeper into the pillow. Kyo shook her shoulder and her eyes automatically opened. "Huh?"
"I'm…sorry. I didn't want you to fall asleep. I…I have to tell you something," Kyo pulled his hand away quickly and looked guilty.
"Hm?" Tohru propped her head up with her hand, leaning on her elbow. She blinked, as if remembering something.
"Okay," Kyo swallowed hard.
