Tohru could feel his warm breath on her face. He leaned in closer to her, and his lips met hers. Tohru leaned in and kissed him back. When they parted, Kyo told her softly, "Tohru…I love you."

"I love you too, Kyo," Tohru sighed and kissed him again. They wanted so bad to wrap their arms around each other. "I would do anything for you, Kyo. I…would die for you."

"Don't say such things! It's not worth it," he kissed her again. She sighed.

"But, I would…Kyo, I want us to stay together…I don't want you to ever leave me…"

"Tohru I'm not going anywhere…I'd give up a thousand lifetimes better than the one I had…and I'd give them all up for you. I love you so much!"

"Kyo, I can't live without you. I love you Kyo, more than anything…I always wanted…from the very beginning…to be your friend. Now I don't want to be your friend…I want to be something more. I want to try and break the curse! Kyo, I just have to! I have to break it! I'd sacrifice what ever it takes, Kyo…to break the curse…and to make you happy."

"Tohru, you…the only way you can make me happy…is to stay with me…forever!"

"Then…Kyo, I will stay…I love you, Kyo…cat of the Zodiac!"

"Tohru…I'm sorry…but I…just need to…" he broke another kiss and embraced Tohru in his arms.

Their world spun around and around and a wind coming from nowhere blew through their clothes and hair. They felt as if they had been lifted off the bed and they were spinning in mid-air. They held each other close and closed their eyes. Kyo's bracelet broke, and beads scattered around them in the air. Tohru clung onto Kyo for dear life and Kyo watched his beads circle around his head.

Somewhere in the house, not knowing what the heck was going on upstairs, Yuki and Shigure were eating lunch. "Gah!" Yuki picked his hand up to his head in pain. He passed out right there at the table.

"Yuki, what…happened?" Shigure collapsed next to him. A small eerie glow arose from their bodies. From Shigure's body, a brown glow appeared and from Yuki's, a blue.

Back upstairs, they were still spinning and Kyo's eyes widened. A pain shot through his head, but he didn't dare let go of Tohru, afraid of what could have happened. An unnatural glow arose out of his body, the color of ginger.

Tohru called up to him, "Kyo, what's happening?" But he gave no response. He looked as if he were in a trance. His eyes were wide, and his grip around her was coming loose. She just clung on tighter. "Kyo!" She screamed to him, trying to get through to him. "Kyo!"

The world around them began to blur and became a foggy white. A bright light flashed around them and in an instant…everything stopped. The two fell back onto the bed, still in each other's arms. The beads dispersed on the bed around them. Everything around them was as if nothing had happened. Everything was quiet, and the sunlight shone through the window. Shadows were cast amongst the floor and the two lay in silence. Kyo's eyes were no longer open, but his arms were wrapped loosely around Tohru's waist. Tohru was speechless and was too frightened to move. Her eyes were wide, like big round pearls, and she took small, quick breaths.

After a few moments of silence, Tohru lifted her chin and touched Kyo's cheek, trying to motion him awake. His burgundy eyes opened. He breathed in deeply, and looked down to Tohru lying against his chest securely, to gaze into her big sapphire eyes.

"It's gone……" Kyo said at last.

"W-what is?" Tohru inquired, still startled.

"T-that feeling…that used to always be there…the cursed feeling I've always used to feel. But…but now it's gone!" Kyo squeezed Tohru tighter. "The curse! T-the curse is…gone!" Tears started forming in his eyes.

Tohru's eyes were also watering. "Kyo…I told you!" she sniffled. "I told you we'd do it!"

"I know but I didn't think we could do it that fast!" Kyo laughed through tears, and kissed Tohru.

"It…it was our love. Our love is stronger than anything! You love me…the outsider…and I love you…the cat…of the Zodiac!" Tohru smiled and took Kyo's left wrist in her hands. "You see? Your beads…you never really needed them! In the inside…you were always there. You were the one…I fell in love with…who was always there."

"You were always there for me too," Kyo responded. "When ever you weren't around…I always had a feeling of emptiness inside. But when you were there…I was happy…I was content…I was in love. You were the person who I couldn't live without. What ever happens in the future…happens. Things are going to change. Things are going to happen, good and bad…but I vow that nothing will ever go between us."

"I vow that too. Nothing…" Tohru smiled again, wiping away the tears from her eyes. "You're right, Kyo…things are going to change. They're going to change…for the better…!"
