Chapter 5 Kyo's Story Tomorrow morning

I can't believe she would do that for me! I mean, I wouldn't even look at her and yet she would do such a kind thing for me. No wonder I fell in love with her. Tohru is just the kind of person who would think of others before herself. I really wish I could be friends with her all over again, but what if I say something, or do something that would freak her out or draw the wrong kind of attention to myself. The last thing I want is for her to think I'm a massive pervert who's trying to get into her pants! I love this woman for who she is. Maybe I should try talking to her alittle bit at least. I really do want to help her figure out what the hell's going on.

Heading down stairs, the kitchen was filled with an amazing scent that it just carried me into the room with my tongue hanging out. Tohru was over the stove with French braided pigtails at the sides of her skull. She was wearing my favorite outfit: a dark blue, sleeveless sun dress with pretty white lilacs printed on it. She also wore the white flats that Kisa had bought her for Christmas one year. God, I wish I could just hold her and kiss her right about now! This situation pretty much came right from my nightmares: the girl I'm completely in love with loses her memory and wears something that just screams "COME FREAK THE GIRL OUT BY ACTING LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED!!" If that were to happen, I'd probably go to jail.

"Oh!" she turned around and saw me."Good morning Kyo-Kun! Breakfast is almost ready. Do you think Shigure likes his eggs scrambled or sunny side up"

Yep, its official, she came straight out of my nightmares. I mean how am I NOT supposed to kiss her right about now because of this gesture?! Her smile is so warm that it was like she was my own personal sun.

"He likes them both ways," I spoke to the floor so I wouldn't have to look at those blue eyes.

"Kyo-Kun are you ok?" her voice was massively sweet and her concern over me punch the crap out of my gut. "Oh, its nothing really. I was just-

I was cut off mid-sentence when Yuki walked right in the middle of the kitchen, acting like a zombie as usual. Tohru's brow knitted itself together and she start for him. Oh shit.

"Wait, don't do that," I jumped in between them, causing Tohru and I to fall on the floor.Of course I land on top. My face felt as if all the blood in my body was just being concentrated there when I peared right at her. Everything in my body began tight and I felt really light-headed. Her cheeks had a soft flush to them, making her look extremely cute right now.If I looked at her any longer, my boner would just totally explode on her dress.

Getting up, I gave her a hand while talking to her. "Yuki, he uh.. he's not really himself when he's half asleep. Just give it a minute or two before approaching him. If I didn't stop you like that, you would've gotten a drop kick to the face"

"Oh," she turned a shade darker with embarrassment."Thank you so much for saving me than"

"Yeah," I headed out of the room."Sure"

Sitting on the roof, I heard a car roll up to the house. Why is Hatori here? Carrying with him, was a clipboard similar to the one he had at the hospital. Climbing down the ladder, I entered the back of the house to see Shigure and Hatori in heated discussion.

"So whats wrong doctor?"Shigure asked while fumbling with a thread of his gray robe.

"Tohru is what's wrong,"his answer was blunt and cold as always.

"What do you mean?" turning toward his cousin, the dog's face had fear written all over it. His eyes were filled with worry.

"The accident did more damage than I feared,"Hatori shuffled with his papers before unclipping one to hand to Shigure."Her certain state of mind will stay this way unless we can jog her memory back to normal."

"How long do we have before she stays this way?"Shigure pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose while reading the paper.

"Five days,"he replied, getting the paper back in the clipboard.

"Fuck,"he swore breathlessly at the news. Hell, I would have joined him, but I knew that would give away my cover.

"I'll let you know if there is anything else," Hatori turned to the door and left to his car.

Shigure rummaged through a carton of cigarettes and lit one on his lips. Exhaling, he returned his attention to his newspaper. Leaning foreword alittle more, the floorboards squeaked with pain. Damn, he's gonna know that-

"Kyo come out of there,"Shigure muttered with cigarette still in his mouth.

"Shigure, you know you suck right?" I walked over to the table he was sitting at and took a seat on the floor.

"I've been told that many times before, but never from a man,"he laughed his come-back as if he were amazing.

"SHUT THE HELL UP, DAMN IT!!!" I jump up from my seat in a street-fighter pose."Oh, forget it. You're nothing but a sick bastard, why should I get all worked up when I know you'll be arrested for sexual harassment"

"You know what your problem is?" he removed his glasses in a liquid-like manner and leaned against the table." You're just afraid to be near Tohru, thinking you'll go to far and she'll be scared, and you're just taking this frustration out on me"

I opened my mouth to protest but who am I fucking kidding? That was exactly my problem. But, how did Pervy over here figure it out?

"I'm not as stupid as you think I am, Kyo," he folded up his paper and dropped it on the table. "I'm a writer, I think like I'm writing a story. I piece things together. You know this isn't the way to go about things."

"I know," I sigh out my stress."I'm just... scared is all. I'm so used to being close with her and now the person I love the most is being taken away from me. How can I get her to fall in love with me all over again"

"Ah,"he touched his cheek in such a feminine manner, it made me sick."Young love goes through the bumpy roads of life. Well young lover, you must try your best. Believe that you're the only one good for her and she might fall in your arms. Hey, you never know when you break out the chocolates and wine. Soft music in the backround could always get a girl, too. She might even put-

"HEY!!"my blushing got out of control when THAT came into the conversation."We're talking about Tohru here, not some street hooker"

"Quite right, Kyo," the sick dog couldn't help but laugh. "But still, all you have to do is try your very best like the last time. Be kind to her, show her places that will help her remember and bring yourselves closer to each other. But be carefull."

I got up to head for the kitchen,"Why do you say that."

"Because Yuki might be trying the same thing."
