Can I Love You?

A/N: Muahaha! Chappy 3! I hope you guys like it so far. Also, I'm not very good at descriptions, so if you want my hideous (but acurate) drawing of my character, just let me know, and I'll try to find a working scanner (mines broken) and I'll find a way to get it to you!
"..." Dialogue '...' Thoughts
Chapter 3:
---------------------------------
As Kyou looked up at his 'twin,' he tried tothink of something to say, but the white haired man beat him to it.
"Are you okay? Did I starrrrrrtle you?"
The fact that this guy rolled/purred that last 'R' made Kyou twitch. What was worse was the man grabbed Kyou around the waist with one arm, and held Kyou's head to the man's chest with the other, rocking Kyou gently.
"I'm sooooo sorry for that, you precious beautiful boy!"
"Gitthfckoofmeh!"
"What was that, my dear? Your words were muffled by my elegant chest!"
At that, the man pushed Kyou's face harder into his chest.
"AH! Andrew, let go! You'll kill him!"
Kyou was greatly relieved that the second orange-haired person pulled 'Andrew's' arm away from his head. Kyou, his strength returning, pushed away and began to back up, still on his back end, backwards. He stopped only when his back hit a wall. He finally got a good look at the orange-haired girl, who was wearing some black P.J.s & a white apron, and her hair went a little past her shoulders. She gazed back at him.
"Um...A...Are you alright?"
She crawled a few inches towards him. Kyou had no idea what was going on and nervously put his hand on his head, only to be met with the pain of a growing bump.
"Ah! ...I'll...I'll get some ice..."
At that, she got up and headed back to the room she came from, which was the kitchen.
"Isn't she sexy?"
Kyou looked back at the white haired man, who wore a smirk.
"Ah...uhm..."
"Ah, ah, ah, don't lie to me. You were checking her out," Andrew winked.
The girl quickly returned with a ziploc baggy filled with ice. He took it and winced as he held it against the bump. After a few moment of awkward silence, Kyou finally spoke.
"Um...So what kinda name is Andrew, anyway?"
"It's American," the girl quickly answered.
'No wonder they sound strange...They have American accents.'
"Oh, you shouldn't be so rude," Andrew spoke to the girl, "Did you forget your name, or what?"
The girl blushed, "Ah...M...My name is...It's kinda strange..cause it's a guy name...my parents must have been high, or something..."
She gave a nervous laugh, then said nothing more. Another awkward silence, and it seemed to drag on. Finally Kyou got up the guts to speak first this time.
"M...My name's Kyou Sohma..."
The girl gave a small smile, "That a nice name."
"So...what happened last night?" Kyou finally rememberd he couldn't remember what happened.
Andrew responded, "Well, she," gestures to the girl, "was out on one of her nightly sulks, and..."
He cut off, the girl taking the story.
"...And I saw you start to look a little shaky. When you fell,I started to panic. By the time I got over to you, you had passed out. I couldn't find a phone, and even if I had, I didn't even know my own number yet. I started to carry you, hoping to run into someone, but it was too late at night, so I just brought you here."
She bowed her head and was silent for a few moments, "I'm sorry..."
"Uhm...ah...Don't be sorry...You did what was right..."
"Ah, young love!" Andrew cut in, false tears welling in his eyes. An agitated sigh was emitted from the girl. She looked back up at Kyou.
"Um...If you need me too, I can walk you home," she bit her lip.
"Uh...sure...But you're gonna have to get me somewhere I recognize, and I'll lead from there."
She nodded in responese, greeted with a sigh from Andrew, who quickly lept up and went upstairs to avoid getting hurt.

As Kyou and his 'twin' grew within viewing distance of Shigure's house, the girl suddenly stopped. Kyou realized she had fallen behind, and turned with a puzzled look on his face. Her head was down, and she was unusually interested in the pebbles on the ground.
"What-"
"Vincent"
"Huh?" Kyou grew more confused.
"Vincent...It's my name."
She rose her head, her eyes meeting his. He felt his face flush.
"KYYYYOU!"
He was knocked out of his trance at the sound of his name. He whipped around to see Tohru running towards him.
"Oh my gosh! Kyou! You're okay!" Tohru panted
"Y...Yeah...What's wrong?" immediately he felt stupid. He had been gone for a day, at least.
Tohru noticed the third person, standing awkwardly, her interest returning to the pebbles.
"Uhm...Hi!" Tohru approached Vincent, Vincent's blushing face raised to meet Tohru's.
"Uhhhhh...Were you the one who saved Kyou-kun?" Tohru smiled brightly.
Vincent laughed nervously and blushed deeper, "I wouldn't say that...I guess I just kinda...helped him out...?"
Tohru smiled wider, "At any rate, you should come and have lunch with us!"
Vincent smiled at Tohru, then looked to Kyou who nodded in approval. Vincent looked back to Tohru.
"Okay."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Kyou... The time you spent away from here was probably the highlight of my life."
"Yuki, that's rather mean. Sure, our house has been in tact for more than 24 hours because of his disappearance, but we still missed him very much. Didn't we, Tohru?"
"Oh...uhm...Yes!" She smiled sweetly.
Vincent looked around at the people in the room, 'So this is them...The Sohmas...'
The lunch proceded with introductions, and everyone's interest in Vincent's hair and eyes.
It was growing dark, and Vncent was helping Tohru make dinner. They had finished, and were bringing it out to the table. Shigure was drooling. Vincent noticed Kyou's absence. Yuki read her mind.
"He's on the roof."
"Huh, oh, thanks." She nodded and went to get the ladder (Tohru axplained where it was) to get Kyou for dinner.
When she reached the roof, Kyou was in a daze, his eyes fixed on the dark, star cluttered sky. She crept silently over to him, stopping with a few feet between them.
"Kyou...?"
Kyou jumped, startled, "Wha..?"
He looked over to her. They just looked at each other for a few seconds.
"Dinner's ready."
A/N: Is that longer than the last one? I can't tell. I hope so. I'm gonna put up this chapter and immediately write the next one. I just stopped because I thought it was a good place to stop...was it? Anywho, R & R.
