Chapter 4:
It had been almost three days, and still Kyo hadn't come to school. People stopped talking about them, thinking it was old news. Tohru had barely smiled at all since Kyo had been there. Everyday after school, she tried to get ahold of him by stopping by his house or calling him, but he would never answer.
'Crap. What am I doing lying around here? Just sitting here and avoiding her isn't, and wont get me any closer to the answer I seek. Maybe I should just call her.' he said, reaching for the phone. He stopped just as he was about to pick it up. 'On second thought, I'll just wait till school tomorrow. It's Friday, so maybe I can ask her to do something..'
The next morning, Kyo got out of bed and was headed for the showers when the intercom rang. He went over to it. Hesitating at first, he pressed the respond button. "Hello?" he asked. "gasp Kyo! Finally! I've been trying to get ahold of you all week! Are you okay?...Can I come in?" "Yeah, sure." He pressed the button to give her access. Tohru walked in through the gate when he opened it. Opening the door to his appartement, she saw him sitting on the couch. "So how have you been since I-" he was cut off in the middle of his sentence when he felt someone's arms wrap around him. (sorry, there's no curse in this fanfic) "Tohru?" he asked. Tohru got off of him, blushing. "I-I'm sorry. I just missed you and was really worried about you." Kyo looked away from her, ashamed of his own weakness. He put his hand below her chin, and forced her to look into his eyes. "I'm sorry I haven't been answering you. I was just...trying to figure some things out.." he said, trying his best to form words. "Oh, no! I was just worried that you were maybe mad at me or something!" Kyo sighed with a smile, his hand still under her chin. "How could I ever be mad at you?" But before Tohru could answer, Kyo gently placed his lips upon hers. At first, Tohru was surprised, but then she kissed him back. They just stood there, in each others arms, lips together.
The next morning, they woke up, side by side in bed.--(nothing happened, for those of you with sick minds)--Kyo took her hand in his, smiling, until he remembered his assignment. Frowning, he let go of her hand, and turned from her. "You can take a shower first." he said, trying to keep his voice steady. "Kyo? What's wrong? And don't tell me nothing. I know something's been bothering you lately." 'Damn. She can read me like an open book!' Kyo turned back to her, putting a small smile on his face. 'What am I suppossed to say? ''I'm an assassin who's been hiered to kill you!'' ' he thought sarcastically. He was quiet for a while, trying to come up with an excuse. "I-I'm sprry, but I can't say." Tohru's eyes started to get watery, but she tried to hold back the tears. "I'm really sorry.." he repeated. She smiled, a tear escaping. "Why? There's no reason to be. I understand.'' Tohru got up to go take that shower, leaving Kyo in his thoughts. 'Damn it all. I never should have taken this job..I could always just not do it...but that might put her in even more danger. FIne, I've made up my mind. I won't do it. If they try anything, I'll be sure to protect her.'
Tohru came back into the room in a blue dress, and Kyo got up to go take his shower. When he walked next to her, she grabbed his hand and pulled him to her, kissing him softly. She smiled, breaking the kiss, and Kyo smiled back, continuing on to the bathrooom. When he was done and dressed in blue jeans and a black tank top, he made them some toast for breakfast.
