Chapter 7 Yuki's Story

Everything couldn't be better: stupid is pretty much avoiding Miss Honda, Shigure wasn't questioning anything at all, and it looks like she's beginning to fall in love with me. From all those cute blushes and quickly turned looks, Tohru Honda is becoming mine! I never thought this would happen! When she returned HIS feelings, I thought the world around me was insane! But now, all is going well. Oh, I wish I could tell her how cute she looks without scarring her. I wish I could tell her how much she means to me and how much I love her. But I want her to figure out most of her memories(but not the ones where she was in love with that cat). This is much harder than I thought. I guess none of that matters, now that Miss Honda is out with me.

Riding in the front seat of my car, she looked out the window as if she were young again, eager to see what was around her. Turning at a corner, I began parking the car. Once we opened our doors, we found ourselves at the Sohma lake house. Her aqua eyes were filled with wonder, she turned her head in every direction like a little puppy. Turning towards me, she smiled so brightly that I even blushed. What I'd do now if only I could kiss her. Going up to Miss Honda, I took her petite hand and started for the lake.

"This is such an amazing place Yuki!" she spoke as if breathless from the beauty of nature in its best. "Where are we? It's so beautiful"

Her child-like fascination to the lake house couldn't help but make me laugh. "I'm sorry for laughing, but the way you speak of how impressive it is, is so cute"

She blushed a pinkish-red at my comment. Ahh when she blushes, it makes me feel like my heart melts a little. I want her to blush always. Making it to the lake, she dropped my hand and began peeling off her shoes. Dipping her toe in the water, she squeaked lightly and held her dress up higher to play in the water. I missed her laugh so much over the years, but hearing it again made me feel like it was just yesterday that Miss Honda was living with us again, as if everything were ok. Taking off my shoes and socks, I rolled up my pants to my knees, and began splashing at her.

"This is so much fun!" she cried as she tossed water into the sunny sky.

Looking straight at her, she spun around and took notice of my stare. She looked frozen, as if my eyes could keep her still just the way she was. Cracking a smile across her face, I cupped water into my palms and tossed it right at her. She whipped her head out of the way, but some of her dress got wet. Wringing it out, I saw a glimpse of pale white thigh. My heart couldn't help but bang inside my chest and sweat trickling down my temple. Seeing her body in such a manner was wrong, but my eyes wouldn't peel away from the temptation.

"Yuki," she started toward me. "Are you ok?" Her voice was sweet with concern. Wading out of the water, I pulled my shoes on and took her to the house.

"This is like Shigure's house," she whispered as we entered the doorway.

I told her that there was no one else in the house so there was no need to whisper. She blushed cherry red again and mumbled an apology. I swear that girl is going to kill me with her sweetness! Taking her hand, I led her into the kitchen. Miss Honda gasp gleefully and gave me a look like she wanted something. Oh, how can I be so silly?! Nodding, she went to work, finding all the things she needed to cook lunch for us. Taking a seat on the stool against the bar, I felt like this was what was supposed to happen. Hell if we weren't in ANY of this mess, we could have been married. Ever since teen hood, I always wanted to stay with Miss Honda forever. Just watching her work made me want her more than ever. I wanted to take her in the guest room and -

"Yuki," her voice popped my thoughts thankfully. I should never have thought of her that way!! "Would you like a salad along with the grilled salman"

"Yes," my head looked up at her eyes. Those aren't eyes at all, they're crystals embedded into this beautiful girl that make you want to ... do things. "Thank you, of coarse"

"Oh no Yuki!" her eyebrows knitted together and she clenched her fists together in protest. "You shouldn't be the one saying thank you! I should for letting me come with you today and getting to make a great lunch for you"

I couldn't help but laugh at this. She's just too kind to others, even when they treat her like the plague. I mean, Miss Honda is just about the sweetest girl anyone would ever meet in their whole life! Finishing up with the salman, I helped set the table and she brought out the food. After gobbling everything up and washing all the dishes together, it started to get dark. Luckily it's summer, so it wouldn't get cold any time soon. Playing a few board games, that was when the sun set completely and she asked if we could start heading back home. Leaving the house to the car, she took my hand and smiled all the way home.
