Chapter 12 - A Valentine worth remembering

And so, the next day Kyo and Tohru were off. Not even knowing whether Shigure or were Yuki ever reutrned that night, or that morning. They left the house venturing to the vast wilderness to the lake house. (lol i just wanted to be random) They got out of the car and got their bags and said bye to Hatori who drive them over, and he added,

"I'll be back to pick you two up tomorrow, and you better not be pregnant when i come back." Laughing a little as they waved goodbye, well Tohru was, followed by Kyo saying

"Damn Hatori." With, again, a blank face. They got into the house and put down their bags. Tohru didn't really plan things out so they didn't really know what to do so for the first half an hour they just cuddled on the couch, then Kyo suggested they take a walk on the shore so they put some layers on (it IS february,) and walked down to the beach, it was sunny so it was a little warmer. They were there for an hour and decided to go back, it was only mid-afternoon so they decided to go back and have lunch and watch whatever was on tv. They found some movie called 'The Notebook' on one the American channels, it ended and Kyo sat there, blank faced (he seems to be like that a lot lately X]) and said,

"Well, they have a lot of problems to work out..."

"Kyo. It's a romantic tragedy, duh." Tohru said matter of factly, a little emotional at the ending, Kyo just rolled his eyes. He took his arm out from around her waist and got up towards the bedroom

"Kyo, what are you doing?" Tohru asked

"You'll see, patience woman!" Tohru decided then that she should get his present ready for him, she secretly unpacked his shirt to give him that one. Mischevious little Tohru. (heh heh heh *rubs palms together*)

"Okay, Tohru close your eyes."

"W-What? Why?"

"Just do it woman!"

"uh, o-okay!" Kyo placed the red heart shaped box into her lap and told her she could open her eyes, she opened them and opened the box and said,

"Oh, Kyo! It's gorgeous!" Kyo took the necklace out of the box and put it on Tohru and said,

"Now it looks even prettier."

"Thank you! I love you."

"I love you too." popping a chocolate into his mouth

"Okay Kyo, my turn. Close your eyes." Tohru said and got up to get the shirt from the table, "It's not much, but it's what you wanted." She placed the shirt in his lap and he opened his eyes and said,

"Tohru, thanks! That damn Kagura never replaced my favorite shirt."

"That would be why I got it for you." Tohru said a little sarcastically "I knew it wasn't much so that's why I planned this trip."

"No, no. It's perfect I really like it."

"Well, I guess we should eat dinner. Let me go make it." Tohru went into the kitchen and started on the salmon, and rice. It was a simple dinner, but it was Kyo's favorite. Kyo followed her in and as she was stirring the rice and he came in from behind and hugged her, like he used to, and Tohru smiled. Kyo said in her ear

"Mmm, smells good babe."

"I thought you'd like it." After that while Tohru was putting the salmon into the oven, Kyo left to set the table. He put out candles and lit them and sat their plates next to each other as usual. Tohru came out with the dinner a few moments later and saw the table as she set the platter down.

"Wow Kyo, who knew you could be so, romantic" Tohru said teasing him

"I have my moments." Kyo said smiling back, "Come sit down, let's have the wonderful dinner you made."

"Nah, I was just gonna throw it away." Tohru said sarcastically

"I need to stop rubbing off on you."

"It was bound to happen." They ate their dinner and Kyo, just so Tohru could talk about it asked all about the wedding, he loved the look on her face when she talked about it, they talked well into the night and grew tired. They went to the master bedroom and layed on the bed and cuddled Tohru was running her fingers through Kyo's orange locks and he subconciously purred himself to sleep, after he fell asleep, Tohru drew herself a bubble bath so relax a little before bed. She came out of the bathroom and found Kyo sprawled out sound asleep on the bed, she snuck in and snuggled up to him, he stirred in his sleep and put his arms around her waist, she kissed him on the forehead and dozed off to sleep.

Tohru woke up and looked at the clock to find out that it was almost noon. She had a minor panic attack thinking that Hatori had already come and got tired of waiting and left again. She looked over and Kyo was still sound asleep, she calmed down a bit just looking into his sleeping face, she cuddled up to him and started giving him eskimo kisses, and he woke up and said

"Good morning beautiful." Tohru blushed profusely and replied

"Good morning Kyo. It's almost noon, what time is Hatori supposed to get here?"

"Around one I think."

"Okay, well, we better clean. I don't wanna leave their summer home dirty. With that they both got up, Tohru went to the bathroom to get dressed, wearing one of her sweater dresses, and Kyo stayed in the bedroom to get dressed, wearing his new shirt. Tohru came out and Kyo took her in his arms and kissed her, her knees gave out a bit and pulled away saying,

"Kyo, we have to clean. no excuses."

"Fine. I'll go clean the kitchen, you get the bathroom and dining room"

"Okay." It was all pretty easy to clean so they got done in around forty-five minutes. They packed their bags and waited on the couch for Hatori, cuddling, (what else would they be doing.) when Tohru remembered,

"Oh, I never told my family about the wedding!"

"Alright, calm down. We'll ask Hatori to drop us off at your grandfather's house."

"Okay. We'll see how this goes..." Hatori arrived, and Kyo told Hatori to drop them off at Tohru's grandfather's house. They got there and left to go tell Tohru's family. Tohru took Kyo's hand squeezed it tight. They entered the house, invitations in hand and walked to the dining room/kitchen where everyone but grandfather were.

"Oh, Tohru what an...Unexpected surprise.." Tohru's aunt said, not particularly excited to see her.

"Yeah, well we have something to tell you." Tohru said sensing the tension in the air

"Hey, can one of you tell me where the bathroom is?" Kyo said wanting to get out of the obvious tension

"Sure, first door on the left in the hall." Tohru's uncle said (I think that's how they're related to her .)

"Thanks." Kyo said and turned to go out the door

"Well, Tohru, what do you need to tell us."

"As you may or may not know, me and Kyo are--well, were dating. What I came to tell you is, we're getting married June twenty-seventh, and I would like you all to come. I already asked grandpa, he's going to walk me down the aisle. I really hope you can make it."

"A shotgun wedding eh? It's a bit sudden isn't it?" Tohru's uncle said suspiciously

"Well actually we've been planning it since Nov--"

"Has the little tramp gotten herself pregnant? What else would be the cause for a such a hasteful wedding? Living with three men and all. You all had fun didn't you?"

"It's not like that at all!" Just then Tohru's grandfather walked in and slapped her uncle and said,

"How dare you make such assumptions about Tohru. Have you no...." Tohru ran out of the room crying and bumped into Kyo, he caught her before she could fall and held her in his arms for a minute before asking

"Tohru, what happened?"

"They think I'm pregnant! They think that's why we're getting married so young! They called me a tramp!" Kyo then ran into the room and took her uncle by his collar and said

"Listen you low-life! If you ever talk about my fiance like that you wont have a bone left in your body!" Kyo left the room and took Tohru's hand and they left. They were still invited, just for spite but they weren't sure if they were actually going to come. Tohru's tear finally stopped and Kyo stopped and looked at her and said,

"Tohru, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine now." She said wiping the last tear away from her face adding, "Do you think we're too young? Do you think we're rushing into things?"

"Honestly, I couldn't care less what people think, we know what we want. We may not know what we're doing but we're sure to learn on the way."

"Wow Kyo, so...Profound." Tohru said playfully punching him in the shoulder. "But no, I think we should just keep moving forward and do what makes us happy. Besides, I don't think i could wait any longer than i already have to to marry you." Tohru took his hand in hers kissed him and they walked home.

"This is definitely a valentine's day to remember huh." Kyo said before walking into the house with Tohru, his fiance, the woman who makes him happier than anyone.
