AUTHOURS NOTE:
I'm going on vacation from JUNE 5TH- JUNE 18TH I can't update until June 18th. I'm sorry! I leave the story in suspense for now! I hope you are enjoying it!
-------------------------------
The room went silent. Kyo gloomily looked away and Haru and Momiji just stared at the prince.
Momiji frowned. "Aww! I wanted to go with Tohru!" he complained.
"That's odd.. Yuki is the last person I thought would go with Tohru," Haru mused.
"Yeah, who would want to dance with that damn rat anyways?" Kyo muttered. His comment offended Tohru, she looked away in panic to meet her eyes with Yuki's.
"Don't be talking Kyo, nobody would want to go with you! You're so mean!" Momiji whimpered.
"Argh! Whatever! I don't think I'm going to that stupid dance anyways!" he growled, walking away from the room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day….
It was almost time for the dance, and Tohru stood in front of the mirror spinning around with her bright blue dress. She looked radiant and beautiful, she jumped up and down in excitement. Her hair was tied up in a bun and two strands of her coffee colored hair were still down. She had a beautiful blue bow around her hair. She smiled happily.
I'm so excited to go! But..Kyo..I don't know what I did to upset him..he looked so, angry. He hasn't even talked to me at all today.
Tohru frowned as she walked down the stairs. She scanned the kitchen, but nobody was down there.
Shigure popped out of nowhere.
"Ah! My beautiful flower! You look so beautiful and radiant tonight!" Shigure hopped up and down.
"hehe..thank you," Tohru giggled.
"I'm excited for you, but I'm also upset that I'll be alone tonight," Shigure wept.
Tohru cocked her head in confusion.
"Alone? What do you mean alone? I though Kyo would be staying with you," Tohru mused.
"Well, that was the plan. Until he just changed his mind," Shigure shrugged.
Tohru's eyes beamed, "Does that mean he's going to the dance!?" she asked in a hopeful tone.
"Yes, I believe he said he had nothing better to do so he was going," Shigure muttered.
"That's great! Oh! But do you have enough dinner for tonight Shigure!?" Tohru panicked.
"Don't worry, you made some riceballs remember? That's enough for me Tohru," Shigure nodded his head.
"Okay, but if you need anything just tell me okay!?" Tohru smiled.
"Don't worry about me Tohru! I'll just call Ha-san to keep me company! Or maybe I should call Aya too!" Shigure smirked.
"Okay! Well, I better leave now. I promised Uo and Hana I would be there early," Tohru replied.
"Have fun Tohru! Be safe!" Shigure smiled.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tohru…" Uo looked up at Tohru in a serious way.
"Yes?" Tohru cocked her head in confusion.
"What happened to you? You never told us you just kicked the prince in the stomach and ran off. What the heck happened to you?" Uo muttered in an angry tone.
"Um! Oh! Don't worry about it! I-I already told them…so I might as well tell you too. You see the fan girls got mad at me for hanging around Yuki so much. So-" Tohru began rambling.
"So they beat you up," Uo finished for her.
"Yes..but please don't do anything to them! I'm okay really!" Tohru mumbled.
Hana sighed in frustration.
"Let's not let our sweet Tohru get hurt again," Hana said worriedly.
"I won't! I'll defend myself next time, so don't worry!" Tohru smiled contently.
"Sure you will, and we'll be there for you next time," Uo replied.
"By the way you both look amazing tonight!" Tohru pointed out.
Uo had a dark blue dress that was all glittery and went down to her ankles. Her hair was in curls and she had bright blue high heels. Hana had a black dress that had white flowers all over it and it reached up to her knees. Her hair was down and it was straightened.
"Thank you Tohru, you look beautiful tonight," Hana pointed out.
Torhu smiled, "Thanks!"
"So where is the Prince?" Uo scanned the dance room. It was decorated beautifully. The area was huge and filled with flowers. There was a fountain of fruit punch as well. Outside there was a beautiful garden with several colorful batches of flowers. There was a corner of the garden filled with Yuki's pictures, made by the fan girls.
There was a elegant decorated table that held the food and beverages. At the back was a DJ booth. The middle area was considered the dancing area and along the sides were benches placed for people to rest in or to just socialize. There were colorful lights, even outside in the garden giving everything a warm glow.
"He said he was coming, but I guess I came to early," Tohru mused. People started coming in. There were couples and squealing girls looking for dates.
The first song of the night started with a dance song. People were hopping and going crazy in the dance floor. Tohru kept glancing back at the entrance door wondering why Yuki was taking so long.
She spotted a figure by the door heading towards the garden. Tohru's eyes beamed.
I think that was Yuki!
"I'll be right back! I want to go to the garden real quick," Tohru excused herself. Uo and Hana just shrugged.
"Okay, we'll wait here," Uo replied.
Tohru ran towards the garden, a large smile plastered on her face.
It was already pretty late, and the night sky was beautiful. Tohru looked at the stars in awe. She quietly made her way towards the garden and gasped in surprise when she saw a group of boys talking.
Kyo, Haru, and Momiji where sitting beside a batch of flowers. She hid behind a batch of flowers so they wouldn't see her.
"Where's Yuki? Wasn't he coming with Tohru?" Momiji asked suddenly. He was wearing a cute tuxedo that was fit for his size. His top hat had a figure of a little bunny on it.
"He said he still couldn't decide what to wear, so he was going to be a few minutes late," Kyo explained flatly. He had a black tuxedo with a red tie and a rose at the corner.
"You look sad Kyo," Haru pointed out. He had his regular outfit on. A white shirt with black pants.
"I'm not sad! I just can't believe that damn rat is keeping Tohru waiting!" Kyo muttered.
"I bet your sad Tohru didn't want to dance with you!" Momiji teased.
"Shut up you stupid rabbit!" Kyo pushed Momiji to the ground.
"Wah! Kyo stop hitting me!" Momiji complained. Tohru tried to hold it in, but she giggled. Everyone stopped in silence.
"Was it me or did someone hear some laughing?" Haru mused.
Tohru sweat dropped.
"Sorry I couldn't help it." Tohru appeared from her hiding spot.
Kyo's eyes widen, she looked so beautiful tonight. He just turned away in anger.
"Tohru! You look so pretty Tohru!" Momiji smiled.
"hehe..thank you," Tohru blushed.
"So Yuki is keeping you waiting? He told me he was coming really soon," Haru replied.
"That's a relief! I thought he changed his mind about coming," Tohru admitted.
Kyo stood silent, his hair covering his eyes. He didn't even look at Tohru anymore, it would be to painful. He wanted to tell her how he felt, but he felt to uneasy about it. Tohru probably loved Yuki anyways….
Tohru quietly glanced at Kyo, he looked so handsome! She squealed in her mind.
A figure popped out of nowhere behind them.
"There you are Tohru." a calm voice behind her whispered.
Tohru turned around and smiled.
"Yuki!" she squealed. He had a black tuxedo on with a royal blue tie, with a rose on it, almost exactly the same as Kyo's.
"You look beautiful Tohru," Yuki blushed as he whispered that into he ear. Tohru went to blush overdrive.
"thank you," she whispered back.
"Let's go inside, its cold out here. You might get a cold," Yuki grabbed her hand and headed towards the door. Tohru shot one last glance at Kyo. He seemed upset, he looked at the ground without even saying a word to her.
"Yuki, is Kyo mad at me? He looks upset," Tohru mumbled sadly.
"Don't worry about him, just have fun tonight okay?" Yuki kissed her hand.
"Right, I'll will have fun with you here," she blushed.
"I'm going to get some fruit punch you wait here," Yuki whispered.
"Okay! Thanks!" Tohru smiled cheerfully.
Tohru scanned the area to see if she could spot Uo and Hana in the crowd.
Out of nowhere, Tohru felt a hand grab her wrist and pull her fiercely outside towards the garden. Tohru's eyes widen as she was pulled outside by a figure. She squealed in pain as the figure pulled her over towards a corner. From the light of the moon, Tohru saw that it was one of the Yuki fan girls. Tohru was pinned against the wall with nowhere to run.
"Nya! What do you want?" Tohru asked, rubbing her wrist in pain.
"We told you not to go to the dance with Prince Yuki!" the president of the club barked.
Tohru flinched. She didn't know what to say.
"Well, he asked me and I didn't want to be rude," she mumbled.
"Poor Tohru Honda! We warned you but you disobeyed us," one of the other fan girls said darkly.
"We wanted to dance with Yuki!" the other fan girl protested.
"Just leave me alone, please!" Tohru had tears in her eyes.
"How about you leave Prince Yuki alone!" the fan girl slapped Tohru across the face. Tohru cried out in pain. She had a big red mark across her tear stained face.
"stop it…please," she begged, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She turned away in pain, wincing while another fan girl kicked her. She clenched her teeth and cried again.
"Dammit! Leave her alone!!" a voice from far away shouted. It sounded so much like Kyo's voice. Tohru opened her eyes and tried to look at the figure in front of her.
"Kyo!" she mumbled before tumbling to the ground.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tohru could cringed at the sound of her name. She opened her eyes to see Kyo looking angrier than ever.
"You promised me they wouldn't pick on you again," he muttered.
"I didn't know…." she felt her eyes well up with tears.
"dammit, but that's not important right now…How do you feel?" Kyo asked.
"I'm fine Kyo. Thank you so much. You came at just the right time," she couldn't help it, she tackled Kyo into a hug, his cheeks turned bright red.
"Thank you soooo much Kyo!" she cuddled the cat.
As soon as he transformed back, Tohru looked back at Kyo in fear.
"What did you do to them?" she asked fearfully.
"I didn't hurt them or anything. As much as I wanted to, I just screamed at them," Kyo admitted.
"That's good. I was afraid you had killed them," Tohru giggled.
"I promise you they won't pick on you again," Kyo smiled.
"Oh! But I probably kept Yuki waiting! He's probably still inside wondering where I went! I better go tell him!" Tohru panicked.
"Who cares about that damn rat," Kyo felt his jealousy rise a bit.
"Thank you for saving me Kyo! Really thank you so much. I'm so dumb I don't deserve you to come to my rescue all the time, but thank you. I really have to go or else Yuki will be worried!" Tohru replied.
Tohru got up, but she felt a hand around her wrist.
"T-Tohru..before you go," Kyo felt a blush overdrive as he leaned his face closer to hers.
Tohru stared wide eyed she knew what would happen next, his lips touched hers. She felt her heart almost flying out of her chest, and her pulse was thudding in her ears. His lips were very warm and soft, a tingling sensation ran down her back again.
"sorry," Kyo muttered before walking away. Tohru stood in shock, she stayed in the same spot for a few minutes before walking back inside the dance room without saying a word.
I can't believe Kyo just did that…I don't know what to think about that, but I actually liked it…ugh I'm so confused! But I have to find Yuki right now!
"Yuki!" she spotted Yuki in the corner of the room sitting alone, his head down.
She ran towards him and pulled him to a corner where nobody could see them.
"Yuki, I-I'm sorry for keeping you waiting," Tohru whispered.
Yuki looked so gloomy, he wrapped he cupped her face and looked at her awkwardly.
"Tohru…what happened to you?" he asked her in a serious tone. Tohru's eyes widen. She didn't think he could see the red spot on her face from the painful slap she received. She told him the story and Yuki just stood there, with a deadpan expression, listening to her.
"I'm so sorry…This is all my fault. I can't take it anymore. If you keep hanging around me you'll just get hurt. You probably hate me now don't you?" Yuki put his head down in shame. Tohru could see that Yuki's eyes were welling up with tears.
"No! Not at all Yuki!" she felt panic rise over her voice she wanted to hug, him without him transforming.
"Yuki, I don't think that at all. Actually, I'm really happy to have someone in my life like you! You're amazing! I don't care if I get hurt as long as I can be with you!" Tohru said in a serious, yet cheerful tone.
"thank you," he whispered, his face was so close to hers she blushed. Tohru's eyes widen, she was having déjà vu as she realized their lips were touching. Yuki deepened the kiss, pinning her against the wall. Tohru wrapped her arms around Yuki's neck. He didn't want the moment to end, he gave her a passionate kiss before breaking away.
Tohru blushed as she stared into Yuki's bright purple eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm just making everything worse.." Yuki went to panic mode.
"No Yuki! I'm happy, really!" Tohru smiled. She wrapped her hands around Yuki's neck and smiled.
"Do you want to dance?" she asked cheerfully.
Oh no..Two kisses in one day. And the worse part is I enjoyed both of them! I'm so greedy and selfish! I have to decide who I truly love….Tohru pushed those thoughts away when Yuki nodded happily.
"Let's dance," he smiled.
