Ok chapter 7! Woot woot! This chapter is one of the shortest and most unimportant…(?)(I kno…im weird!) w/e and there is a semi touching moment at the end….so…READ!
Chapter 7: The Flower Blossoms:
"I can't believe how big Kohana got!" Tohru called to Kyo, looking at herself in the mirror. She put her hands behind her back, admiring herself in the bright yellow, maternity shirt.
"No duh…Come on, Tohru, you're pregnant," Kyo almost snapped at her. He was carrying a big box up to their room. He grunted.
"Oh, Kyo. I'll help you," Tohru walked over to him and placed her hands underneath the box. Kyo heaved it away from her grasp.
"Are you crazy? Do you know what you could to Kohana doing stuff like that?" Kyo gasped, struggling with the box. He climbed the stairs, panting, and dropped the box on top of their bed. Kyo wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. He turned around to see Tohru standing in the doorway. Even when she looked like she had a big beach ball up her shirt, she still looked beautiful. Her big blue eyes sparkled in the light coming through the window and her thin smile was enough to brighten even the darkest rainy day.
"Well, I guess it's time to make lunch!" Tohru clapped her hands together. She turned to travel back down the stairs, but let out a tiny squeal when she felt herself being swooped up. Her arms wrapped around a pair of shoulders, which just happened to belong to Kyo. His hands supported her back and under her knees. He carried her down the stairs and let her down when they reached the kitchen. "Thank you, Kyo. That trip down the stairs really would have exhausted me." Tohru smiled and almost skipped into the kitchen.
"No problem. I'd do anything to make you more comfortable," Kyo then became serious. "I know you don't like people worrying about you. So, make it easy on everyone and tell them if anything is bothering you. That way, I don't have to worry if you're not telling me something. Okay? Please promise me."
"Okay, Kyo," Tohru had almost a depressed look on her face. She didn't like it when people worried, even though she did enough worrying for everyone. "I promise… Well, what…do you want for…lunch?" she paused again. Tohru felt really strange. Butterflies and fireworks were exploding in her stomach. It shocked her more than it pained her. She had a hard time seeing straight and everything was going dizzy and black. She felt as if she was leaning back and forth, with the room spinning and spinning and spinning and…
"TOHRU!" she heard a voice before it all went black.
"We were just talking about it. And you promised. It was my fault I should have noticed something wrong when you didn't answer me when I called your name with you standing right there! Oh geez! Why does everything have to be my fault? Everything always is! What the heck is wrong with me? Why am I so stupid? Now, because I didn't do anything, your life and Kohana's life could be in jeopardy! I'm so awful…the stupid monster that I am…"
Tohru's eyes opened halfway. The voice she had heard in her dreams…was Kyo's. She lifted her head off the pillow she was leaning on to study her surroundings. It wasn't recognizable and her head became dizzy again, so she let her head drop back down into the pillow. "Kyo…"
"Tohru? Tohru, are you awake?" Kyo appeared above her, tears in his eyes, face looking almost desperate. "Ohmigod…I thought I'd never see your beautiful eyes again. I've really screwed up this time. I thought we had just talked abut this. You're supposed to tell me what's wrong and not have me worried. To not have me worried sick!" Tears spilled down Kyo's cheeks and some landed on Tohru's face.
"You should have told me sooner," Tohru joked, quietly. She smiled and laughed, tears spilling from her eyes too.
"Oh, Tohru," Kyo's eyes were shining. "I don't know what I would have done if I had lost you." He leaned down closer to her and planted a long, soothing kiss on her lips. "I love you…"
