" K…Kyo…" She whispered and kissed him back. " I love you…"

Kyo looked at her, staring into those great big sapphire blue eyes.

" And I love you…" He trailed off. This wasn't exactly what he was going to say to her. He kept thinking for a minute. ' I guess I could get quite used to being with her. She's so polite, quite, calm… And she loves me as much as I love her…'

" Um…Tohru? I really wanted to say something…I originally wanted to tell you…that I wasn't sure about settling down for the rest of my life and before you say anything, I just wanted to tell you that I think I've changed my mind…I love you so much." He wanted to hole her, just enough to show her now, but he didn't. He knew what would happen and so did she.

" That's exactly what I was just thinking and what I was going to tell you when I got up on the roof! I could really get used to it, too." She said, smiling at him.

Kyo smiled back at her.

" Well, maybe we should go back inside…It's starting to get late…" Kyo said. He started to walk towards the ladder.

Tohru followed him down the ladder and into the house where they saw Shigure waiting for them.

" Tohru? Akito wants to see you tomorrow…alone." He said, noticing Kyo there.

" What? Why? Did I do something wrong?" She asked.

" I…I don't know…" Shigure told her.

Just then, Kyo broke in their conversation.

" NO! I won't let her go! Not with out me!" He yelled.

" But Kyo, Akito said alone…but I suppose you could escort her." He said to him to try to calm him down.

Kyo looked over at her. He didn't want her to go. What if something happened? He thought for a moment. If he couldn't stop them from meeting, he'd just have to make sure she'd be safe…

" That's what I'll do then…but I want to sit right outside the door and be able to hear everything!" Kyo said, looking away from him. He got up and started to walk up the stairs when he felt a tug on his sleeve. It was Tohru.

" Um…Kyo? Thank you…I really appreciate it." She said, looking down at the floor. She was scared. She didn't want to go either. What if she did something wrong and they were going to erase her memories?

Kyo stared at her for a few moments before putting a hand on her cheek and kissing her.

" Don't worry about it…you'll be okay. I'll be there for you if they try anything." He said to her, smiling slightly.

She smiled back at him.

" Well, goodnight, I'll see you in the morning." She said.

" Goodnight Tohru…" he said, walking into his room.

That morning, Tohru woke up early. She looked out the window next to her bed…it was raining…not a good omen. She got ready in an hour and met up with Kyo downstairs. Unlike Tohru, he was dressed in his normal clothes while Tohru wore a black, long sleeve velvet dress that went down to her mid-thighs and her hair was in a bun. They started to walk to the main house where they were going to meet Akito. As they were walking closer and closer, Kyo got slower and slower. He wanted to wait. He didn't want this moment to happen. He knew what would happen. Akito would somehow find out about the two and not allow it. Hatori would have been right…

Tohru noticed how slow Kyo got. She also began to slow down till she finally stopped. She knew what he was thinking and she wouldn't let that happen to them. They stared at each other for a minute before Tohru smiled and grabbed his hand and started to walk down the path again. She looked back at Kyo, who was also smiling slightly. He couldn't ever resist her smile and always found himself smiling back at her. They finally arrived at the front gates of the Main House where they were greeted by one of Akito's attendees. Tohru gave a quick kiss in the cheek to Kyo right before she walked into the room.

" Thank you for walking me here, Kyo. I promise everything will be okay." She said to him.

" I trust you." He said back.

Tohru walked into the room and saw Hatori and Akito. But why was Hatori in here? She had hoped it wasn't about her memories! She sat down in front of them and waited until she heard Akito's cold voice.

" Hello miss Honda…" He said, getting up and looking at her.

" Good morning Akito…Hatori…" She said, staring down at her legs that were folded together. Why was he here? She didn't want her memories erased! She loved Kyo and wanted to stay with him!

Akito smiled wickedly at her. He hated the thought of Kyo being happy in that house and finding somebody that he loved had loved him back now.

" I want you to leave Shigure's house. You won't be able to stay in there anymore and your memories of the Sohma family will be erased for good." He said, jumping straight to the point.

It was Tohru's worst nightmare come true. She didn't want to leave, not now of all times! She finally found Kyo's love and her love for him was so strong!

Kyo sat outside the door, listening to every word of what they were saying in the other room. Was Hatori really going to erase her memories on Akito's command???

Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, and the next chappie will be the result of the day for the couple! What will happen??? Next chappie! Chapter 6 – Lost memories! See ya soon!
