Chapter 15:
Tohru walked with Kyo briskly and they came to the courtyard. Tohru looked around in awe, Kyo just crossed his arms and went "Humph!"
"What's wrong Kyo?" Tohru asked.
"Nothing's wrong, I just thought of something though…"
"What?"
"I think I want to be an architect."
"… As in 'design-people's-houses' architect?" Tohru asked stunned. Kyo turned to look at her and then smiled.
"I'm joking." He said and Tohru laughed. A slow song came on and Kyo glanced at Tohru, as if asking her to go onto the dance floor. She nodded and they walked out onto the dance floor together. People stopped and stared, it was now official: Tohru was going out with Kyo.
"Why are they staring at us?" Kyo asked as they reached a spot they both liked.
"I don't know," Tohru answered. At that time all eyes were diverted to Hana and Yuki who had just entered the dance floor. The Prince Yuki Fan Club let out a gasp of horror as Yuki put his arm around Hana's waist and they started to dance. Kyo looked at Tohru, hoping that she knew what they were supposed to do… she didn't.
"Umm… what're we supposed to do now?" Kyo asked after copying Yuki.
Tohru was stiff; no one had ever held her by her waist before. It was a little scary, but she got used to it and then started to sway to the music, and that's all they did, shuffle their feet and sway to the music.
"Tohru-chan?" Kyo whispered into her ear.
"Yes Kyo-kun?" she asked back.
"Why are we dancing?" he asked, "I mean honestly, I can't dance, I don't know if you can, but together, we're not doin' such a hot job."
Tohru laughed quietly, "Yes, I think you're right, maybe it's my balance…" Tohru's heart was racing and it didn't seem to want to slow down, maybe it was from being so close to Kyo. Yes, that was it, she was nervous! -But nervous of what?
"No! Nothing is wrong with you," Kyo reassured, he looked at her and pushed away a stray piece of hair that had fallen in front of her eye, "You're perfect."
Tohru blushed and smiled absently; she could hear her heart pumping the blood into her cheeks. It was still racing, and as she pressed against Kyo, he could feel it.
"Tohru…" he said, then he felt her forehead, "You're burning up Tohru! Are you feeling well?"
"Eh?" she asked, all of a sudden she was very dizzy. Her knees felt weak and they collapsed under her. She fell to the floor and a heavy metal song came on.
"Oh no!" Kyo said. People were rushing into the pit, flailing arms and hands were everywhere. He needed to get Tohru out of here now. He looked at the ground where she had been lying, but she wasn't there. Where was she?
A body was being moved around on top of the crowd, and then Kyo realized… it was Tohru!
"TOHRU!" Kyo cried, but was drowned out by the guitar blaring from the speakers. He pushed his way through the crowd and found himself right next to the bass speaker, his eardrums were not happy.
"Tohru!" he shouted again, this time he was able to grab her down and hold her just before one of the band members jumped into the audience. Somehow, this didn't seem to have been part of the plan. He had to find Uo; she was the only one here with a cell phone.
"Uo!" he shouted upon seeing Kureno, where there was Kureno, Uo was sure to be only a few feet away.
"Hey Kyo," he said turning around, "Would you happen to know where Uo-chan is right now? I can't find her."
"Damn." Kyo muttered.
"What happened to Tohru-kun?" Kureno asked looking Tohru over. The dress that she was wearing was getting a little heavy.
"She's not doing well, we need to get her to a hospital, Hatori can't do anything for this." Kyo told him.
"C'mon," he said, "The limo's in the back, when you get to the hospital I'll take it back and then wait it out until Uo and Hanjima come looking for me."
"You're not all that bad." Kyo commented as they pushed their way out of the mosh pit and into the deserted parking lot. The limo was sitting on the side pf the road, when the driver saw them he turned on the engine and drove up.
"What's wrong?" he asked indicating Tohru, "Had a little too much to drink?"
Kyo fought the temptation to break his head off and throw to another country, but Kureno spoke up.
"Look, she just fainted, and that's it," he said, "We need to get to the hospital."
"Right." The guy said seriously. He opened the back door and Kyo got in with her while Kureno sat in the passengers seat.
"Step on it!" he said, and the man sped away from the curb, and they drove off into the night.
