Kyo went downstairs and saw Tohru by herself (It's Sunday) making breakfast. "Where's the rat?" Kyo asked. "Oh good morning Kyo! Yuki's at student council today." Tohru said. Kyo nodded. Shigure peeked out. "Good morning Kyoooo." he said in a singsong voice. Kyo ignored it.
The phone was ringing and Kyo went to go pick it up. "Hello?" he said. "Kyo?" asked a female's voice. "Yes and who is this?" he asked. "Kyo! It's me Mina!" "How did you get this number?" he asked. "Remember when you passed out? I got the number I'm good at remembering things." she told him. "Ok, well why did you call?" he asked and at the same moment Tohru was coming downstairs with the laundry in her hands. She stopped listening into the phone call. "Well.. I was wondering…. Um… If your not doing anything… Would you like to go to the movies with me!" Mina asked quickly. Kyo's eyes widened. Kyo was silent for a minute. "Um.. I.. Yea today's an ok." he answered recovering from shock. Mina smiled on the other line. "Ok then I'll go to your house in like an hour. Will you tell me the address?" she asked him he gave it to her after that they hung up.
"Did… Did she just ask me out on a date?" he asked himself. A loud thump noise made him look around to Tohru. She had dropped the laundry basket. "Oh I'm sorry!" Tohru said quickly retrieving the clothes. Kyo bent down to help her. "Tohru I'm not going to be here this afternoon so don't save me dinner." he told her. "Where are you going?" Tohru asked scared to know the answer. "Oh I'm going out with a friend." Kyo said casually. Toru nodded her head. Once all the clothes were back in the basket Kyo went up to his room. "I should get over Tohru now. She's with that stupid rat. I have no chance." Kyo said aloud.
"Why am I so sad? I'm with Yuki now. Kyo is just a friend. But I don't want another girl near him." Tohru's eyes pooled with tears. "I just don't know what to do now. Mom please help me." she said.
About and hour later as Mina promised the doorbell rung. "I'll get it!" yelled Kyo's voice. Kyo opened the door and let Mina in. "Hey!" she said brightly. "Hey." said Kyo. "Let me get my coat and we'll go." Kyo said. "Ok." Mina said smiling. While Mina waited Tohru came in through the door. "Hi I'm Mina!" Mina said. Tohru greeted her back. Tohru was grim. "Are you ready to go?" Kyo asked. "Yea." Mina answered. "Ok then. Bye Tohru." he said not looking at her.
"What should we see?" Kyo asked. "Um.. I don't know." Mina told him. "Are you okay with scary movies?" Kyo asked. She gulped and nodded. "Ok then why don't we watch a scary movie." Kyo told her. She turned pale but nodded.
Once they were in the theater Mina had regained the normal color. They talked for a bit then the movie started. They ate popcorn when Mina's hand touched Kyo's he blushed and threw the popcorn at Mina. He laughed. "What was that for?" she asked acting offended. She threw a popcorn at him. They both laughed quietly. "Hey be quiet down there." said a man's voice. "Sorry." they said together. They smiled.
"That was a really crappy movie." Kyo said. Mina just smiled. "You smile a lot you know that?" he told her. Mina blushed. "Well it's better then frowning like you always do." she said laughing. "Oh really." he said. Mina went to the back of him and pulled his mouth to make it look like he was grinning. "Smile like that!" she said laughing and letting him go. "That hurt!" he said. Mina laughed and soon Kyo was laughing with her. People stared at them and that made them laugh harder.
"Want a crepe?" Mina asked Kyo. "Ok sure." he said walking toward a crepe vender with her. "Thank you Kyo." she said to him. "What for?" he asked her. "For going to the movies with me." she told him. "Oh no that wasn't a big deal. And I had fun." Kyo told her. (Oh god I think I'm making Kyo to OCish.) Mina smiled.
"What do you want to eat?" Kyo asked. "Oh no Kyo don't go through all that trouble! I'm fine I'm not hungry." Mina told him. "No really it's because I'm hungry." Kyo told her. "Ohh ok… Well I don't know what about you?" she asked him. They ended up going to an Italian place, "What do you want to eat?" Kyo asked. "Kyo isn't this place expensive?" Mina asked looking around. "You know you remind me of a girl I know." he said smiling. "Oh do I?" Mina said blushing. Kyo nodded.
They both had spaghetti. Kyo paid the bill and they left. "That was delicious," Mina said. "Glad you liked it." he told her. "It's getting late. I'll take you home." Kyo told her. And they made they're way down the road together.
"Thank you Kyo." Mina said again. "I said it was ok remember?" he told her. Mina nodded. She gave him a peck on the cheek and went inside. She waved goodbye. Kyo waved back.
Back at home Tohru was the only one home when she heard Kyo coming in. "Oh Kyo your back!" she said smiling. "Hm.. Yea." he told her. "I'm going to take shower." Kyo said heading up the stairs. "Oh ok," Tohru said.
Kyo took his shower and went back downstairs. "Where is Shigure and Yuki." he asked Tohru. "Oh Yuki had some things to do back at school and Shigure is well avoiding his editor," Tohru told him. Kyo nodded and went back up.
He fell asleep almost instantly thinking of everything that happened that day
'I think I might be able to move on now Tohru.' he thought. Little did he know was that Tohru didn't want him to.
