Chapter Three The Dishonest Truth

Tohru opened her eyes, she was still in a daze from the dream she just had. She tried to get up but found there was something held her tight around her waist. She looked and saw Kyo's sleeping face.

'Oh goddness! That wasn't a dream.' She panicky thought. She looked up at her alarm clock and saw her buzzer was going to go off in six minutes. She tried to get up, but in every movement, Kyo's grip tightened and held her small frame to his body.

She loved feeling him pulling her close and not wanting to let her go even in sleep, but she had to get up. She had to make breakfast. She looked at her clock again.

'Three minutes.' She thought. 'What do I say to him? How should I greet him?' Two minutes. 'What about the others? What about Yuki?' One minute. 'What if he wakes up and realizes he made a big mistake? What if he didn't really want last night to happen?' Her thoughts continued to rush and her mind thought of every possibility of outcomes to happen.

A quiet humming sounds raced out of her alarm. Kyo grunted and pulled his arm tighter. Tohru tried to reached out to turn it off, but Kyo pull her away as he moved around in his bed.

"Kyo?" she whispered.

"Mmm." He sounded.

"I got to get up." She said, trying not to wake him.

"Ok, go ahead." He said his grip finally loosening.

She leapt out of bed before he could change his mind and pull her tight again. She stood there, looking down at him.

He slept in the most awkward positions. His butt was straight up in the air and both arms were on one side of his body and his ankles were crossed.

'And you call me a goof.' She teased.

She hurried and got dressed in the bathroom, raced down stairs to start breakfast.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyo opened his eyes and he was surrounded by pastel colors and the bed he was in was soft and warmer then normal. He realized he was in Tohru's room. He recalled his dream and how it ended here. But he wasn't shocked about the dream. He had them almost every other day.

'Could that really happen?' he thought sitting up. He looked around and saw the nightgown she wore in the laundry basket and his cloths still on the floor when he transformed. He grinned.

'It did. It happened.' He soared. 'We finally kissed. We finally took the next step.' He laid back down. He smelled the pillow. Tohru filled his nostrils.

He got up and tiptoed in his room, got dressed. He heard breakfast cooking and Tohru humming.

When he started to go down stairs, his heart started to pound.

'What do I say?' he wondered. He saw Yuki at the table with his bag in front of him trying to organize it and Shigure at the other end drinking coffee and talking to air.

He walked past Tohru and brushed her back. She froze.

"There he is!" Shigure said. "You slept longer than I did. Who were you with?" he said jokingly, but his teasing smile turned into an even bigger teasing smile when Kyo blushed and looked around. "You were with someone!" Shigure chanted.

Yuki looked up with a small interest and Tohru stood in her spot. Her face was as white as the walls that were closing in all around her.

Shigure taught a glimpse of her panic and smiled to himself. 'thank god they found each other.' he thought.

"Come on Kyo you did you get last night." Shigure teased. Kyo sat in his seat and just acted like Shigure wasn't talking.

"No one! I just slept in.," Kyo cried when he couldn't take Shigure's taunting. Tohru heart sank a little. Her finished wiping off the counters and looked at the clock.

'He does think it was a mistake. He's ashamed.' She decided sadly.

"It's time to go." She said in a small voice. Yuki got up and collected his things and Kyo drank the rest of his milk. Tohru started out the door with Yuki and Kyo walked behind them like normal.

Yuki and Tohru made little chit chat, Kyo walked behind them and never kept his eyes off the pair.

Yuki said something funny that made Tohru laugh. Kyo felt anger as Tohru's smile never faded. Yuki would touch her back every once in a while. This morning every time he did so, Kyo's rage built. When they finally got to school Yuki was pulled away and Tohru walked to her locker.

'I thought it was so magical.' She thought. Her sadness continued to fill her. She pulled out the books she needed and when she closed the locker door, Kyo was behind it starting out the window on the other side of the hall.

"Oh," she said alarmed. She bowed her head and walked away. Biting her lower lip she was able to hold back her tears until she turned the corner. The small drops of salty liquid streamed down her cheeks. Hana and Uo walked from the hall next to her.

"See Tohru is sad." Hana said calmly. Uo rushed past her.

"Tohru! What's wrong? What happened?" Uo cried grabbing Tohru's hand.

"Kyo?" Hana said. Tohru nodded. "He's coming this way."

And with that the three girls rushed into the girls' restroom just as Kyo turned to the hall they were just in.
