Chapter 4 - drifting apart or reuniting?Disclaimer- I will never own Furuba. Tear But I have faith that Melanie and I will save up enough to one day buy those rights. At the moment we have $4.23.
Ever since Kyo walked out of the hospital that Tohru was at, he hasn't talked to her. He was right…Hatori wouldn't help him. He said that she shouldn't have been there in the first place, and he was right. She shouldn't have. It has been a few months now, and everyday he had hoped that she would eventually get better and come back to him. But this would probably be another of those days where nothing is going right. He was supposed to see Kazuma today, but with the way he felt, he didn't think he'd go.
It was about 10 minutes to 9:00am when he decided he would go for a visit. What was the harm? He got ready and put on his training outfit. The medium-sized white yukata with black sandals. He was defiantly going to walk there because he didn't trust Shigure's driving skills. (A/N: who would?)
Once he got there, he saw the very same Sakura tree where he heard the nasty remarks of others about being the cat of the Sohma clan. He gave a small sigh and started to walk on. He saw the front doors (They slide! I was so amused when I went there! (To Japan, I mean.) I want a sliding door!) And walked over to them. After standing there for a moment, he rang the doorbell, but to his surprise, it wasn't Kazuma who came to the door, it was…Tohru!
" T…Tohru?" He asked uncertainly. Was this a joke? Well, she defiantly looked like Tohru, and if it wasn't, then who was it?
" Yup! Then one and only. It's been a while, hasn't it…Kyo?" She smiled and hugged him tightly. She was back to her normal self! So did she remember everything about them now? All the times at school, or up on the roof talking?
Tohru was almost crying, she was so happy that he came today. As soon as she got her memories back from her case of amnesia, she called Kazuma, asking about Kyo and if he was all right. I mean, he did try to run out to grab her in the traffic. So she came over to Kazuma's dojo because he was going there anyways. She wanted to tell him so bad how she felt about him, and she didn't want anything to get in the way. But if she told him now, the words might get to his head during training. She decided to tell him later, after his training.
Kazuma walked into the room to see his 'son' and Tohru hugging. He had to admit, it made him happy.
" Kyo? I'm sorry to break you both up, but it's time for your training lessons." He said.
Kyo and Tohru slowly let go of each other, both blushing deeply.
'Today's my chance to tell her…to tell the truth about what I said. I do love her and I want her to know…' Kyo thought to himself.
After training, Kyo and Tohru sat outside in the small Zen garden Kazuma had in the back. It was beautiful. There was the peach-colored sand, Sakura trees in bloom, and best of all, each other. Kyo sat on the wooden steps coming down from the dojo and Tohru was walking down the hall with two cups of apple tea. She gave him one and smiled. Her heart was beating like mad. She was so nervous that she was going to tell him. She didn't want to be rejected, either.
Kyo stared into his cup of tea. It was so awkward; they were both so silent and still. He thought for a while, and then took a sip of tea. Now would be the moment he would tell her.
" Um…uh, Tohru?" He said as he could feel his face redden.
" Yes Kyo?" She answered back to him. She smiled; he was so cute when he blushed like that. But why was he blushing? What was he going to say that was embarrassing him?
" Well, I need to tell you something…you know the day of the car accident? How I called you 'koi' and said it was from a show?" He asked he, staring down at the sand, not wanting to show his red face to her.
" Um…Oh, yeah, that! Uh-huh." Tohru said to him. What was he going to say? Could it possibly be the same thing?
" Well, I'm sorry, but I…I…lied to you. I do love you Tohru…And I want you to love me too." He picked his head up to look at her. She was smiling and she looked as if she were about to cry.
" I do too, Kyo. I love you too!" She wiped a tear from her eye and hugged him. She was so happy that he did love her.
" I tried to talk to you while you were sleeping, and I told you then…but I figured I should tell you know, too." He was also hugging her back.
Tohru felt so safe, so secure in his arms. She loved the feeling that she had whenever she thought about him, whenever she was near him.
It started to get late. By now, you could start to see the stars and the big bright moon. They had decided to stay at the dojo for the night instead of walking home in the dark together. Tohru sat outside for a while longer, talking to her mother about her new love, Kyo. She knew her mother would be happy for her. That she had finally found someone who she loved, and that they had loved her back. As long as everything stayed so great, there would be nothing to worry about, nothing to stop and think about. It was all too great.
Kyo walked out of the bathhouse in his black pants and gray t-shirt. It was nice tonight, considering it was already August. He looked around for Tohru before hearing her voice, talking to someone. Not trying to be a distraction, he peeked around the corner, watching her for a moment and seeing her talking to the stars…no wait…not the stars…her mother. He smiled at the sight of her and walked over to her.
" How long are planning on staying out here?" He asked.
She turned around and faced him. Did he hear her? Oh well, that wasn't the concern right now. She smiled at him.
" I'll just be a couple more minutes, I promise." She said, tilting her head slightly.
He smiled back.
" Okay Tohru, goodnight." He bent down and kissed her check.
She blushed a little. That was the first time a boy had ever kissed her.
" Yes…Goodnight…"
