Once, again the morning came as the Sun rises over the mountains to lighten up the morning. Another day of small woodland creatures, like squirrels and dear, play quietly and people start to arise from their night's sleep.
This morning, Kyo had taken the worm by rising the earliest. He had woken up then started slowly began his way to the kitchen for some of his finest "Fish soups".
However, this morning he had stopped, mid-step, in front of Tohru's room. He turned his head gingerly, seeming to make a sound of rusty door hinges, and faced her door.
'Maybe I should wake her up? It would be nice to cook with her this morning…' he blushed.
He opened her door quietly and searched for her petite person, neatly laid out on her bed. Once he found her, he just could not find the courage to wake such an angel up.
He blushed at the thought of Tohru being his angel, walked up to her pink frilly-trimmed bed, and sat down next to her head.
"Hmm... Toh-" he started, but just couldn't seem to finish. He looked at her beautiful hair and brought up his hand next to her ear. He tucked a few loose strands and stared for little longer.
He listened for her each breath and started to calm his heart, which was beating ever so quickly at the lack of space between them. He sat his head down near her waist and rested for a few seconds.
He sat up, slapped his face, and held his hands on his face. He peeked through his fingers and looked at Tohru, still pondering on waking her up.
He blushed at his foolish antics and looked away from Tohru, only to spot a composition book. He regarded it as something unusual for Tohru to have and considered browsing into it.
He let go of his face and leisurely crawled across the room to have a quick look at the book. He took a glimpse back at the maiden behind him- checking if she would awaken from her sleep but found no signs.
Kyo abruptly got up and thought it ridiculous that he slithered on the ground as he did and decided to at least tiptoe through the room, instead of looking like a fool.
'I am such an idiot,' he shook his head.
He suddenly halted and had second thoughts, 'Wait… what if it is her personal diary? Well, it could be some kind of school composition book… Then what would be the point of looking at it!'
He contemplated his actions, but his curiosity overcame him and he looked back and forth from Tohru to the book.
'Well, I can just look at what it is…'
He reached over for the book and picked it up. He stared at it and noticed the neat handwriting across the top: "Yuki's Journal". His eyes widened in curiosity and he just had to peer inside…
He flipped through random pages and skipped pages that looked like internal nagging to verbal crying. He learned many things about Yuki in just a short amount of time. He even learned how to read in haste out of fear that Tohru would wake up see him in her room!
He saw that Yuki had been jealous of him, that he also had feelings for Tohru, and his depressing comparison to Kisa. Kyo even thought about his previous actions to Yuki. Perhaps he should be more kindly to him, just maybe?
'Nah. His past life ruined his present-self,' he scoffed, 'Karma… I will act the same way I do now! I don't have to show him pity because of his melancholy life! I don't care!'
He shrugged, a bit aggravated, and found a particular page that roused more interest than the others and was the most recent entry. He began to read finding no reason of real importance to stop his quiet pursuit.
"Dear journal,
I am very surprised of myself… My thoughts have surprised me. As of late, I am considering passing this journal unto Tohru on the last day of High School.
She would read of my feelings for her, my thoughts, depressing concept on life and etc. Perhaps she would slowly come to fall for me as well? It sounds corny but who said corny what incorrect and utterly foolish?"
Kyo chuckled a little and thought that Yuki was most definitely a tad cliché, "Giving a journal to the girl he 'loves'! How ridiculing for someone of his status." He heard some mumbling and turned to see that Tohru was beginning to drop from her deep sleep, in which where she dreamed the most.
He gulped and decided not to speak aloud any longer. It would be a bit awkward between the two if Tohru had seen him browsing through her things without her permission and him talking to himself aloud.
"…Whatever," he whispered stupidly and continued to read Yuki's journal.
"Perhaps, I shall do what my thoughts propose… and yet—Ugh, very much rattled at the moment, to the point that I can't think straight! What will she say in response? Will she comply to my feelings?
Analyzing her personality, she would probably lie to me just to make me happy… but she would not be happy. In addition to that, I would never be happy for such a depressing unity, full of secrets."
Kyo had scoffed thinking Yuki thinks too much. Kyo sat himself more comfortably on Tohru's clean floor and read the rest of the entry before thinking:
'Alright so maybe he is a little more than tactful to most others…Well, to the point that it's annoying!'
"Sadly, I have to be separate from her during the summer. I had been told via email, from Shigure, that I must leave to the main Sohma Estate for the summer because of a personal summoning from Akito…
I have many thoughts as to why I am obligated to stay over the summer… but because I am not so sure. I will not voice them (although, writing them out isn't technically voicing them…)"
'Wow, he sure is brave that he is willing to go to the Sohma Estate. But, why the hell would Akito want him there? That freak probably wants to mess with Yuki's head or something, ' he sneered.
Kyo put the book down and decided to let Tohru sleep for the morning. He got up, stretched and began to walk out the door when he heard a little squeak.
Looking back he smiled and whispered Tohru a 'Good morning' as he realized that she began to awaken. She smiled back and she blushed knowing that he was in her room.
'Morning Mom, I had a great sleep. At this moment, I see Kyo in my room! Do you know why Mom? Because I have no idea, ' Tohru quickly scanned her room finding the composition book misplaced. Acting drowsy, she looked back at Kyo and struggles not to panic, internally.
"Good Morning, Kyo. Did you just wake up," She questioned, while rubbing the sleepiness out of her eyes.
'What did he find out in that book! Oh Mom! I hope there is nothing bad. I'll have to read it later...'
Kyo looked at the small orange kitty clock with large green eyes and read the time, "I woke up at about 5:30 a.m. I was going to eat alone but I decided to wake you up"
"Oh, really," she continued to stare and Kyo nodded 'yes', "How nice of you Kyo! Well, let's get to cooking breakfast!"
Tohru smiled and removed the blankets from her petite form, revealing her nightgown, and asked that Kyo leave for a second while she dress herself into something more appropriate for the morning. Kyo lightly blushed and left the room, closing the door behind him.
'Wait a second…' Kyo thought, 'Why the hell would she have that damned Rat's Journal anyway!'
He huffed and pushed the aggravating thought from the top of his head and began to walk through the hallway, to the stairs. He was still quite curious and thought because he saw the particular book his curiosity might never be quenched unless he incorporates an interrogation subsequently in the week.
"Tohru! I'll meet you in the kitchen," He eyed her door, through a side glance, from down the hall, looked straight again and began walking down the staircase, reaching the kitchen, "What do you wanna eat?"
Hearing fast thumps of her footsteps, Tohru walked into the kitchen in an adorable outfit, consisting of an azure blouse that arched slightly but cute-like and a long gray, blue-tinted skirt that ended just below her knees. Looking out the window, kind of out of breath, she briefly thought about the situation involving Yuki, she stood there brushing away the notion and thought of what to eat.
"Hmm… Well, how about Pancakes again?"
"Sure, if you want, " Kyo trudged over to the cupboard and checked for pancake mix. Finding it, he set it down and pulled out other ingredients.
"Alright, so how do I make this again? I forgot," he sweatdropped.
OoooOOooOOooOOoo…
Stalker POV…
'Hmm… stupid…. Tohru…. UGH! How dare they! How dare HE betray me, with that fraud?'
A new idea for me, as in my present actions is a first. At this moment, I sit in a tree, at least 50 yards away from Sensei's humble home, holding a bright orange binocular the shape of a cat. I face east, gawking directly into Sensei's kitchen through a cute window.
How convenient that Kami put it there! It is a perfect view to spy on my sweet fiancé, Kyo!
My muddy brown eyes shine through the binocular magnifying glass, while they sparkle and glimmer. I sigh a hundred times daydreaming of the future where Kyo and I can be married and have however many children we desire!
And yet behind that adorable sparkle in my eyes, it is secretly burning with envy and hatred for that Tohru-girl! Ok, maybe she was brought up well and is not such a bad kid BUT at this moment, she is with my Kyo!
Anyone that is spending time with Kyo, when I can be that person, I will hate them from the bottom my heart, while I reminisce… Reminiscing of the past, when us both were once considered friends!
Or… at least acquaintances…
"OK! Kagura, get a hold of yourself and march down there!"
I got up from my branch and hopped off landing on my feet, it hurt a little but my Sensei said to get over that. Running as swiftly as my feet can let me across the uncut lawn, I looked like a crazed boar, without Kyo or Tohru seeing me.
All of a sudden, I stopped! Glaring into the kitchen, where Kyo is holding her hand for some odd reasons… damn that Tohru!
I turned the other way, getting ready to frighten them both and take my revenge on that wretched handsome Kyo, of mine! I ran towards the kitchen almost jumping straight into the thin sliding doors--!
OoooOOooOOooOOoo…
Both blushing, Tohru had accidentally dropped the pancake mix onto Kyo's hand and tried to clean his hand but then she realized the close contact and froze! Kyo, being a dunce like Tohru, had also froze, face turning into a cute tomato.
Quickly looking down embarrassed, He let Tohru collect herself enough where she can continue cleaning his hand clear of the powder. He whispered a 'thanks' and turned the other way when he heard the sliding doors middle rip.
He turned around, clearly pissed off, but when he saw what was coming, he nearly choked on his spit! It was Kagura!
Although he was still able to bite out a question, "Ka-ka-Kagura! What the hell are you doing here!"
"Kyo! How dare you cheat on me like that," she steamed and started walking his way. But she wasn't able to reach him because Tohru had nudged her with a small shove to the right.
Tohru's head faced down, embarrassed and feeling pitiful for Kyo, "Kagura-chan… Don't hurt Kyo."
"And why NOT hurt Kyo! Huh? Give me a good reason, " Kagura still steaming, oddly acting like Rin.
"Do not hit him, Kagura-chan… I am really sorry but-"
"Don't you dare say anything that would ruin Kyo, my fiancé, and my relation--"
She is cut off again by another nudge from Tohru, "That is the reason! Kyo is not going to be married to you," Tohru screamed and looked up at Kagura, her face being shocked by such an outburst from someone like Tohru.
Kyo stood next to them, still frightened when Kagura first tried to approach him, 'Why is Tohru standing up for me like that? I'm pretty sure I can do that for myself but… I guess that never worked anyway, right?'
"I'm sorry it has come to this but you have got to give it a rest… Kyo hasn't ever been happy with you coming for him like that and fighting isn't helping either. I don't want either of you to be depressed in the end because of unwanted injury to the heart and body," Tohru concluded by embracing Kagura's hurt form.
Kagura peeled Tohru off and looked up at Kyo with a stiff lip, "Kyo, " she bowed, "I'm sorry if I ever hurt you as bad as Tohru described. I guess loving someone also means learning how to let go… right?"
Kyo smiled at both of the girls thankful for Tohru, keeping a stiff figure, 'Oh please Kami, Don't let her lie this moment! She better not be lying!' he panicked internally.
Tohru wiped a drop of sweat from her forehead, being nervous sure can make you tired! Then Tohru thought of something for all three of them to do, "Kagura, Kyo? How about we all go out for a movie!"
"Sure"
"Whatever…" Kyo's stomach growled, "But before we leave, LET'S EAT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!"
The girls sweat-dropped at Kyo's hunger, and exchanged ideas of what to eat, while Kyo and Tohru avoided the pancake idea.
