Chapter Seven- The Solution
Tohru woke up at dawn. She smiled at the as she began to dress. She went down stair to the kitchen and noticed the plate she left out for Yuki was barely touched. She went back up stairs and peered into Yuki's room to see if he was there. When she saw his body under the covers she felt assured. When she turned around Kyo was waking up and coming out of his room.
"Hello." He said. "Why are you coming out of Yuki's room?" he questioned.
"Oh it's not like that. The plate I left out wasn't really touched I just wondered if he came home last night or not." She answered. Kyo knew she had the hardest time to lie she believed her and offered his hand. They walked downstairs together.
"Tohru I need to tell you something." Kyo said when they reached the kitchen.
"Ok what is it?" Tohru wondered.
"Yuki knows about us." Kyo began. "And last night I over heard that he went to Akito and told him." he told. Tohru dropped the bag of flour in her hands and he eyes widen.
"What?" she began to panic.
"And you know Akito he, he, he's awful and will do something bad." Kyo said out loud. Tohru's hands began to shake and her eye's started to water.
"Oh no, Tohru it's okay, don't cry." Kyo said walking to her. He wanted so badly to hold her but he swallowed his urge and placed a hand on her back and another on her hand.
Just then Yuki awoke and went down stairs.
"What?" he ASKED, when he saw Tohru crying. "Kyo, what did you do to Miss Honda?" he demanded walking to her.
"What? I didn't do anything it was you." Kyo shouted losing his temper. Tohru couldn't take their fighting right now, so she ran out the back door and ran down the path.
"See now look what you've done." Kyo cried. He grabbed Tohru's jacket and ran after her.
"What is all this commotion about?" Shigure yawned coming downstairs. "Where's my little flower, where's breakfast?" he question noticing Yuki was the only one in the kitchen. He turned o his heel and went up stairs, slamming his bedroom door.
"Oh dear I'll just have order in." he Sand walking over to the phone and dialing a phone number.

"Tohru!" Kyo yelled running as fast as he could. He stopped to catch his breath.
While he was gasping for air he heard some whimpering in the bush behind him. He walked over to it and looked.
Tohru was sitting and the ground, shivering, and crying. Kyo wrapped her jacket around her. She looked up in surprise and reached out for him. He sat down next to her and pulled her in his lap. She curled her arms around his neck but minded the distance between their chests.
"Oh Kyo what are we going to do?" she said asked.
"We'll figure something out." Kyo said trying the sound soothing.
"Akito hates me and this is an excuse for him to steal my memories. I don't want to forget you Kyo. I can't forget you. I love you." She said in a shaky voice.
Kyo's heart stopped for a moment. He tried to process the worlds just spoken.
"Tohru… what did you say?" he had to hear it again.
"I love you Kyo Sohma." Tohru said sitting up and looking him in the eyes.
He looked at her. He looked in her eyes. He smiled and leaned in for a soft, gentle kiss. Tohru smiled and felt much better even though there still was a solution to the problem.
"I love you too Tohru." Kyo said. She looked in his eyes and saw it was sincere. She smiled. She didn't care there wasn't a solution, he loved her and she would never for get that. She hugged him close and they both closed their eyes and savored the second they could hold each other. She continued to hold Kyo after he turned. When she stopped crying she let go of him and he turned back a few moments later.
He was naked, and Tohru tried not blushing. But when she looked at him the red ran all over her cheeks. He smiled and put on his pants. He sat next to her holding her hand.
"Tohru why don't we go to Akito and I'll make him understand." Kyo suggested.
"No it won't work. Remember they others, when they went to him. It always turned out the same." Tohru told him. "We will go to him, and tell him it's not true. We don't love each other, and I look to you as a brother. Yuki-San was wrong, and misunderstood what he saw." Tohru said. Kyo looked at her in surprise.
'That could work.' He thought to himself.
"Okay, lets do that."
They smiled and continued to hold hands. They heard a car drive by. Kyo look at the label on the side of the door.
"It's from 'good eatin'." He said.
"Oh no, breakfast, Shigure-San must've ordered in." She realized. Kyo put on his shirt and they walked back to the house.
