Hey everyone, here's chapter 4 this may be as pointless as the last three but give me a chance, I'm getting to the mushy stuff. Anyway, enjoy.
"Good morning Shagure."
"Good morning Tohru, um, shouldn't you be at school."
"Oh, no not yet. They're letting us come into school an hour late since its the last day. They're letting us come home an hour early too." Said Tohru. "But I think Yuki already left, something with the student counsel."
"Is Kyo up yet?" Asked Shagure.
"I don't know, if he is its kind of strange for him to be."
"Well, he is still human, I wouldn't be surprised if he is." Replied Shagure.
"I'll go wake him." Said Tohru
"Alright, but hurry. He only has about thirty minutes left to get ready." Said Shagure as Tohru left to room.
"Ok. I'll be back in a minute." She said out of Shagure's sight.
She got to Kyo's door and opened it. She walked over to his bed where he was sleeping. She looked at him with a small grin as she watched him sleep.
After sitting there for a second she shook him gently. "Kyo, you need to get up."
"What, huh? What time is it?" Asked Kyo groggily.
"Its 8:30." Answered Tohru.
"What!" He shot up out of bed with wide eyes."Why didn't you wake me up!"
"Calm down Kyo." tohru said with a giggle."They said we could come in an hour late since its our last day."
"Oh, ok."
"Breakfast is ready if you want to come down later."
"Why not now?" Asked Kyo.
"Because your only half dressed." Said Shagure walking by the door.
"Gah!" Kyo had blush on his face form embarrasment.
"Its ok Kyo, your a guy, guys can do that. Me on the other hand... not so much." she said with a giggle.(You can just imagine whats going through Shagure's mind at this moment.)
"Shagure, don't even say a word." Kyo said before Shagure could say anything. Shagure just walked away with a reeaaally big smile across his face.
"Anyway." Said Tohru blushing as Kyo got up."You can come down when your ready." Tohru said as she was leaving. Kyo was blushing slightly but kept his head down to keep it from showing. Kyo dressed himself and went downstairs to get some breakfast.
"So Tohru, what time are we expecting your friends today?" Asked Shagure.
"Probably around 2:30." She answered.
"Alright, I'll have to get a bus for us, and a driver." Said Shagure.
"I hope this isn't to much trouble."
"Oh no, no trouble at all." Said Shagure. "I'm gonna go ahead and get us a driver." He said getting up.
"Alright, we'll see you after school." Said Tohru as he got up.
"Speaking of school, you should probably go."
"Shoot!" Said Tohru looking at her watch. "I'll be right back Kyo, I gotta get my stuff."
"Yeah, whatever. Hurry up." He said dryly.
"Right, sorry." Said Tohru sprinting up the steps.
Kyo gazed at her as she went up the stairs, even when she wasn't in his sights anymore. Shagure was about to walk out the door when he saw Kyo looking up the stairs after her and said out loud "Ahh, young love."
Kyo heard him and said. "What was that you damn dog!"
"Nothing, nothing at all." Said Shagure with a grin. Kyo was about to comment on what Shagure had just said when Tohru came around the corner.
"Ok, I'm ready now." Said Tohru with a sweatdrop when she saw Kyo with his hands around Shagure's neck.

"So Kyo, when are you gonna tell this mystery girl how you really feel? do you have a strategy yet?" She asked Kyo on their way to school. She kind of caught him off guard with the question she asked. He answered her with "No not yet. I don't know how to put my feelings into words."
"I can help you with that if you want. I don't know if I'll be much help, but I can try." Said Tohru.
"Thanks." Said Kyo blushing but not enough for her to see.
'Wow, I feel really special," Thought Tohru to herself. 'I'm the only other person who can see him like this.' She grinned slightly to herself. Kyo saw the look on her face.
"Whats that look for?"
"Well I'm the only other person who ever gets to see the real you...and...I don't know, I guess it makes me feel special." She said as a slight blush crept into her cheeks. Kyo blushed as well. They arrived at the school and ran into Uo and Hana (don't worry, not literally.)
"So who all is going with us?" Uo asked as she walked next to Tohru and Hana. "Is Orange-Top coming with us?"
"If you mean Kyo then yes."
"Oh good, this will be fun, I've never seen what he's like on the weekend or when he's not at school. What's he like Tohru? You of all people should know."
"Um, well," She had to think of something to say, and fast." he really isn't that different, he has the same kind of personality he always has."
"Yeah well, we'll see." Said Uo
"So Tohru," Said Hana "have you ever skiied before?"
"Um, no. But I guess you gotta learn sometime." Answered Tohru.
"I've never skiied before either." She said in her normal monotone voice.
"Well maybe you'll do better at skiing than school." Uo said jokingly.
"I don't know about that." Said Hana with a sly grin on her face that said she knew something that they didn't.
"Maybe the Prince or Orange-Top can help you." Said Uo pointing her statment to Tohru.
"Yes, Yuki already offered." Tohru said. "But I just hope I don't embarase myself the whole trip."
"Who knows, you might do good." Uo said reassuringly.
"I hope so, I would really hate for the whole trip to be a disaster." Said Tohru."But either way, I can't wait." She said excitedly.
"Well anyways, I gotta get outta here and get home to get my stuff and meet you at the house." Said Uo.
" Yes, I must go as well." Said Hana."We will see you later, at the house."
"Alright, I'll see you guys later." Tohru said as she walked away and waved goodbye.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyo was thinking of ways he might be able to tell Tohru his true feelings for her. He was having a really hard time. 'Maybe I should just tell her flat out "I love you". no, that wouldn't work. Damn it! Why is this so hard?'
"Oh Kyo, there you are." Said Tohru walking down the hallway towards him, pulling him out of his thoughts.
"Huh?" 'Crap! Here comes that feeling again.' He thought as his stomach started to turn.'Everytime I see her, or hear her name, or even hear her speak, my stomach starts to do things that should only be done in the olympics.' "Oh, hey Tohru." He said trying to make it look like there was nothing wrong.
"Kyo, are you alright? You look like your about to passout." said Tohru worredly.
"Nothing, its my stomach." He replied.
"Oh no! Can you still come on the trip with us?" tohru asked with a hopeful look on her face.
"Yeah, I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Ok, lets head home, Yuki is going to be a few minutes. He told us to go without him." Said Tohru.
They had started walking down the street, when Kyo did something unexpected by Tohru and himself."Um, Tohru? I was wondering if that offer of yours was still good? About...you know...the 'thing'?"
Tohru was taked aback by the question. She was kind of shocked that he would ask her for help. this just wasn't Kyo."Oh, sure. Ask away." She said with a smile.
"Um, ok. How should I start to tell her?" He asked.
"Hmm, why don't you tell her its something really important and that whatever happens, you mean everything you are saying."
"Alright, what should I do after I tell her and she doesn't feel the same way?"
"Um, just tell her that you understand and that you are ok with it."
"ok" He answered.
They arrived at the house with Haru and Momiji there waiting for them.
"Oh, hi Momiji, Haru." Said Tohru.
"Hi Tohru!" Said Momiji excitedly.
"Great the little brats are here." Said Kyo.
"Are you ready? Where's Yuki?" Asked Haru.
"He's still at the school, he should be here in a few minutes though." Said Tohru."Anyways, I'm gonna go get all my bags."
"Yeah, me too." Said Kyo following TOhru up the stairs.
There was a knock on the door, Shagure answered it."Ah, hello Uo, Hana."
"Hey its the writer guy! Whats up man?" Stated Uo.
"Yes hello." Hana said smoothly.
"Come in, come in." 'Highschool girls, highschool girls, all for me, highschool girls.'
"Not on your life." Stated Hana walking past Shagure and leaving him with a shocked look on his face.
"Hey, is Tohru in her room? I was gonna tell her that we were here." Uo said.
"Ah yes, she's getting her bags." Said Shagure. "You know where her room is don't you? you can go up if you like."
"Alright, thanks." Said Uo.
tohru had gotten all of the things she was taking and stepped out into the hallway, followed by Kyo who came out of his room a second later.
"Hey Tohru, we're here!" Shouted Uo slowly going up the stairs.
Tohru turned to Kyo and said."Well, I guess we should head downstairs"
"Yeah, lets get this over with." He said as he walked down the stairs. everyone started to head out to the bus. Kyo stood at the door and thought to himself.'The next time I stand here, things are going to be different. Either way, this is going to be a long weekend. A very long weekend.'
Then he walked out the door and got on the bus with the others.

But anyways there will be a LOT of fluffiness to come in the next chapter. No need to worry about that. Well I gotta go, so until next time. Love Jess.
