Hey I'm not going to talk this time I'm just going to get this chapter out. I hated spilting my scenes apart but that last chapter was just to long. I had some extra scenes that I don't really need and that just screw up my sequenchial order. So yea yea here's the story. Its the day before Harvest Break. Oh yea and that momentus happining is in this chapter I had to take it out of last chapter cause yea it was to long. Okay here it is chapter nin hope someone likes it. Oh and I actually think I might not make Yuki and Hana a couple and go back to my original idea YukixHaru. Come on how could you not think those two are cute together. I know in my earlier chapter I said Haru gave up on Yuki ever loving him but the ox can dream. I'm changing Tohru's eye color to blue okay. I know that it seems Kyou just magically gets better but he is still sick so don't think he'll be hopping out from the second floor window anytime soon.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"The bad things in life open your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention to before."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" Tohru I...there's...uh..." Kyou stuttered. " I need...t...t...to...to...uh...tell you...um...tell you...something."
Tohru looked up at Kyou with her eyes shining with happiness. She had that cute goofy smile. The one that made his stomach flutter...made him realize all his training could've never prepared him for what he was about to do.
" Yes Kyou." Tohru inquired.
Kyou opened his mouth to say it when Yuki made his grand entrance.
" Miss Honda." Yuki called. " I'm home."
Kyou saw Tohru run happily away from him to greet Yuki. What is this some kind of sick version of 'I Love Lucy' great so where the hell is Ethel? He stuck his head sround the corner of the door to witness a scene that made his heart drop and his stomach lurch. He watched helplessly as his body was rooted to the ground as he saw that damn rat pull Tohru into his embrace and saw her willingly being pulled into a kiss.
" NO!" Kyou yelled jerking off the bed and out of his three week coma. He wincd as his shoulder scrunched and irritated the still unhealed penetration wound. After three weeks of being tourtured by Akito invading his head, horrible memories and nights of restless sleep, it took a simple nightmare of Yuki stealing Tohru away from him. He looked around and realized he was in Tohru's room. He felt something on his waist shift.
" Mmmm Kyou." Tohru sighed.
Kyou looked down at Tohru who was snuggled againist his rib. Where the hell did she come from? He smiled though as he carefully lowered himself back onto the bed next to her. As long as she was in his arms that damn rat couldn't take her. He buried his face in her hair. For now he had his Tohru and Yuki really was just a bad dream.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yuki's salvation came with the final bell. He was so tired and stressed. Tohru was still working herself to death over Kyou, and he was still puzzling over his encounters with Miss Hanajima...the last one had been interesting. He was still a little sore from the smack in the face of Tohru's obvious love for Kyou. Someday it wouldn't hurt as much and in the future he could look back on it as just another scar on his battered body. He didn't deny he was still very much in love with Miss Honda but Miss Hanajima had stirred something within him.
" Yuki." A voice whispered softly and the worry was very evident.
He brought his violet eyes dull and lifeless rimmed by the purple bags of sleep deprivation to the taller punk Jyunnishi who stood a few feet away from him. He stumbled weakly and drowsily to him. " Hey Hatsuharu."
Hatsuharu placed a hand on Yuki's shoulder his eyes filled with concern for his childhood love. " Yuki what are they doing to you?"
" Nothing I'm just worried about Miss Honda. She puts too much energy on that baka neko."
Hatsuharu smiled at the familiar insult that assured Yuki was okay. Hatsuharu sobered quickly though the guilt over Kyou's situation washing over him. " How is Kyou?'
" Better." Yuki answered watching the guilt flicker across Hatsuharu's features. " Stop beating yourself up Haru." Yuki stumbled with his next step.
Hatsuharu was there to catch him and he wrapped an arm around shoulder. " You really should go home Yuki."
" I can't I have to go to the hardware store with Takachi to pick up supplies for the woodshop men. We're almost finished with all the booths for the fair." Yuki said. " Except for the Onigiri stand."
Hatsuharu raised an eyebrow.
" In our first year Kyou wanted to make the stand perfext for Tohru. He got teased a bit because he was picky over the smallest things." Yuki said. " I think Miss Honda wants to wait until the last moment possible for Kyou."
" Cute." Hatsuharu said. " Well at least let me walk you there so you don't end up getting hit by a bus."
Yuki was too tired to even want to try and fend him off. So he just let his head drift sleepily to Hatsuharu's shoulder. He fell into a kinda of light sleep. Ignoring the bug-eyed stares of his classmates he would deal with after break. He gave into the warmth that Hatsuharu radiated. For right now he'd let Hatsuharu support him. Sometimes it was nice to just give in. To think that something was real.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tohru woke up to a featherlight stroking of her arm. Whoever it was they were gentle and affectionate. The brush strokes kept her mind drowsy...sort of lulling her into a content sedation. She opened her eyes flinching at the bright afternoon sunshine spilling across her face. She looked up and found herself staring into a pair of crimson orbs. " Kyou?" She whispered softly and disbelieveingly. I'm dreaming aren't I. She dug her elbow into her side. Nope!. " Kyou!" She said throwing her arms around his neck trying hard to aviod the still festering penetration wound on his shoulder. It seemed to take forever for the familiar puff of orange smoke to engulf them. " Oh Kyou you're awake. Eeek oh I'm sorry."
Kyou placed a paw on Tohru's lips. " Shut up." He said giving her a small smile.
" Are you hungry Kyou?" Tohru asked happily.
" No." Kyou said but his stomach emitted a loud and long rolling growl. Classic anime sweatdrop appears on the sides of Kyou and Tohru' heads. Kyou blushed. " Well maybe just a little."
Tohru smiled widely and giggled standing up and strectching out, Kyou doing the same. " C'mon I'll make something special."
Kyou plodded behing Tohru who was humming one of her stupid jingles and smiling brightly. " Damn it feels good to be walking again."
They reached the kitchen and suddenly Tohru was everywhere.
Kyou watched as Tohru scurried about. He was mesmerised by her graceful movements. She may be clumsy airhead in every other place in the world but put her in the kitchen and she's perfect. Kyou was admiring the length os Tohru's pale legs. He couldn't help it he was a teenage boy driven on hormones to oogle the girl he was infatuated with...the girl he loved, and that blue housecoat dress was so short. This was the first time in three weeks he registered actual pictures hell ya he was gonna stare.
" Kyou." Tohru said looking down at him with her light and sparkiling cerluen eyes. They were glowing with happiness and relief.
Kyou looked up at Tohru. She held her arms outstretched to him and squatted halfway to be closer to his level. Kyou looked at her strangley.
She wiggled her fingers beckoning him to her. " C'mon."
Kyou plodded hesitantly and then lept up into her arms and gave in to his want to snuggle againist her.
Tohru stood up and placed Kyou around her shoulders. She scratched the sensitive spot behind his ear and giggled as he tried to hold in a purr. She tilted her head to rest her cheek on Kyou's
Kyou tried really hard to resist the urge to nuzzle Tohru's soft pale cheek. He lost in the end when Tohru nuzzled him affectionatly. He couldn't help but return the gesture. I'm lucky to have her care for me so much. I almost lost her when Akito took over me. After these past two years I just can't imagine not living with her. Graduation is this year damn you Akito.
" I've been so worried about you Kyou-kun." Tohru said. " How about some riceballs. Its just me and you right now. Yuki will be out till evening with the council and Shigure is at the main house visiting Hatori. So its just the two of us.
Just the two of us...I wish. " Yea whatever just make some food." Kyou said.
Tohru closed her eyes, smiled and let out a cute giggle that made the butterflies return to Kyou's stomach.
Damn hungry and hormonal urges on overdrive, Kyou thought and we're fucking alone.
" Now where are those leeks?" Tohru mused.
" LIKE HELL!"
Tohru giggled again. " Oh Kyou."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" Shigure." Momiji said. " Kisa and I want to go see Tohru and Kyou."
Shigure had been on his way back to Hatori's room after Akito had called on him. He knew what Hatori meant now about Akito being curious about Tohru and Kyou's absences. He had been subtly but Shigure had been looking for it. On his way back to Hatori's he had been ambushed by a worried Momiji and Kisa and a reluctant and annoyed Hiro.
" Well I suppose so." Shigure said. " I'm sure Tohru won't mind if I bring a few concerned dinner guests. I'll be leaving in about fifteen minutes. Why don't you kids change into...less dirty clothes. "
" Yey!" Momiji shouted hugging Kisa which really pissed Hiro off.
" Get off Kisa you stupid bunny." Hiro muttered under his breath.
" Come on Hiro we're going to see Onii-chan." Kisa said dragging Hiro.
" Woo-hoo." Hiro said a bit sarcastically pulling againist Kisa's grip.
" Please Hiro." Kisa pleaded. " This would mean a lot to me."
Hiro looked up into Kisa's amber eyes. " Fine." He grumbled.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tohru sat down with a plateful of salmon and cod riceballs. Kyou was still wrapped lazily around her shoulders. Tohru picked up a piece of a salmon riceball and waved it in front of Kyou's face.
" Dammit woman I'm hungry." Kyou said as Tohru tantalisingly waved a picec of riceball in front of his food deprived face.
Tohru giggled as Kyou swatted away trying to get the chunk of salmon riceball out of her chopsticks. " You have to promise me something first."
" Anything woman just give me the damn fish." Kyou growled.
" It would mean a lot to me if you'd help me build my onigiri stand." Tohru said.
Kyou stopped flailing about. " Uh...sure...I...I'll do it...for you."
Tohru held the salmon still for the Kyou to nibble upon. " Thank you Kyou."
Kyou after all his fighting for the piece of the salmon just ignored it. " Do you want to start?" Kyou asked.
" Oh but Kyou you haven't eaten yet! You really should eat Kyou-kun you've practically starved yourself!" Tohru exclaimed.
Kyou shrugged the salmon riceball away. He was still hungry but he figured he'd get the stand done, so he could try to spend the Harvest Break with Tohru. " We can bring some riceballs out with us."
" Okay." Tohru said. " Remember though you still have that wound on your shoulder."
Kyou winced at the reminder. " Yeah."
" If you get tired tell me, we can take a break and and if you feel sick we can stop. " Tohru babbled.
Kyou placed his tail over her lips this time. " Shut up idiot."
Tohru cradled Kyou in her arms and set him on the floor. " I'll see you outside okay." She smiled at the neko.
Kyou blushed. " Yeah ou...outside."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" Hey Yuki." Takachi called. " How 'bout this is it in oue budget."
" Can't you do anything by yourself Takachi." Yuki said making his way to the other section of wood planks. He bumped into a black clad body.
" My apologies Sohma-kun." He said.
Yuki looked down into a pair of dark eyes identical to Hana's. How does this kid know my name?
" Allow me to introduce myself. I am Megumi Hanajima." Megumi looked around. " Is Tohru-kun here?"
" No she's at home with my cousin Kyou." Yuki said irked by the lifeless stare of the boy. It seemed threating even though it was as blank as Hana's gaze was.
" Yuki." An emotionless whisper wafted over to his ears.
" Miss Hana nice to see you again." Yuki said.
Hana gave him a curt nod. " Yes a pleasure." She said looking down to her little brother. " Come Megumi father says it is time to leave."
" Coming Saki." Megumi said walking back before pauseing to ook back at Yuki. " Tell kyou that if he hurts my Tohru I'll curse him."
Yuki smirked at the irony of Megumi's threat.
" Ten times worse then the one that which burdens him now." Megumi finished disappearing amongst the crowd.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tohru watched as Kyou finished nailing the last of the base of her stand together and followed him with her eyes as he climbed a few steps on a leverage thingy and place a pole in the slot he had made. (A/N: How sexual does that sound.). His form had grown a little sickly from not eating for almost three weeks but he was still fit. Tohru stared at Kyou's muscled arms that had remained quite tan for being out of the sun for so long. Her eyes traveled across his body till they were caught on his chest. His sculpted torso was hidden by the white cloth of his school uniform. Too bad about that. I wish he would take his shirt off. Tohru blushed furiously at the realization of where her thoughts were going. Oh Kami did I just think that!
Kyou looked down and over at Tohru who was now the color of the deepest red a rose could be. He saw Tohru look away from him. Did I do something wrong? He scrutinized the half finshed stand before hopping of his step-up and walked over to where Tohru was. He placed a hand on her cheek and turned her head to face him. Her face somehow managed to flush a deeper red than possible. " Tohru." Kyou said gently concern threaded in his voice. " Are you feeling sick."
" No." Tohru squeked bringing her hands up as fist to cover her mouth before something slipped. Oh Kami-sama I can't believe...I'm turning into...SHIGURE! Not that all of it is a bad thing. Being an author would be great except for those smut novels but no I got stuck with the pervert. She cried mentally.
" Do you want to take a rest?" Kyou asked when Tohru shool his hand off her cheek.
" Kyou-kun if anyone should be worried about taking a rest it should be you. I should be the one worried you're tired. You aren't over-exerting yourself are you. The sun is too much for you is it. you've been out of it for so long. Is the heat draining you at all. Do you feel nauseous...dizzy...headac..." Tohru was sileneced by a hand on her chin bringing her awfully close to his lips. She whinpered slightly at her predicament.
" Do. You. Want. To. Take. A. Rest?" Kyou said with deliberance on each syllable.
" S..sure how about you eat something." Tohru said brightly trying to hide her body's reaction as Kyou's released his predatorial grip on her chin. " You really should eat or you mgiht get really sick again. Three weeks is a long time to practically starve yourself. If you're on the sickly side your martial arts stamina will drop and you'll lose your figure." Tohru chattered. " I mean...uh..." Oh Kami! Oh Kami! His Figure! Eeek how could I say that!
My figure...? Kyou looked down at his hidden chest and abs. He slowly unbuttoned the white shirt obstructing their views. He had to admit he was a little on the thin side but he was still pretty well shaped.
Tohru's eyes widened, her throat constricted as Kyou was tantalisingly slow in unbuttoning his shirt but surprisingly her face was now stained a cherry blossum pink instead of a blood red. Her eyes were glued to Kyou's chest. " Uh...uh...Kyou...w...what are you doing?" Tohru stammered as Kyou advanced upon her with a mischievious glint in his crimson eyes.
Kyou smirked. He couldn't help but tease her and that endearing innocence. He cast another look down at his body. " Is there something wrong Tohru?" He said backing her up into a tree.
Tohru whimpered again as her back bumped into a tree. Kyou was so close now that she had nowhere to go. This Kyou-kun was...really exciting. Oh no I'm being a pervert again.
Kyou stopped as he wathced Tohru's gaze drop towards his abs. " Don't you like my figure?" He asked. Kyou reached his hand out and fluttered his fingertips over every one of Tohru's curves. " Caue I confess I sure as hell like yours."
Tohru whimpered and moaned as she felt Kyou's hand slid down her body. She felt this hot bubbling in her stomach that turned like molten lava, thick and gooey. It felt like her whole body was on fire and as much as she wanted to deny it...it felt really good. " K...K...Kyou." She stammered. He was so so close. She could feel his ragged heated breath on her trembling lips. K...K...Kyou, She thought. She closed her eyes as he got closer...and closer.
" Onii-chan!" A high pitched voice squeaked.
Tohru and Kyou snapped out of their sensual foreplay daze.They saw a shocked Kisa ad Hiro and they were afraid to know what the expressions on Momiji and Shigure's faces meant.
" Onii-chan what are you and Kyou doing?" Kisa asked innocently as Hiro just stared almost bug-eyes fully aware of what they were doing.
" My...um did we interupt something by chance?" Shigure asked slyly. " Did our Kyon-Kichi have some naughty thoughts in mind for our sweet blossum Tohru?"
" What the hell are you talking about?" Kyou snapped.
Shigure smiled lecherously as he pointed at something on Tohru.
Kyou and Tohru looked down. Kyou's hand was nestled very intimatly on Tohru's hip...his shirt was unbuttoned...and the distance between their faces was almost non-existant. Their eyes slowly traveled up the others body to connect one again. Crimson met cerulean. and pale face met pink...fear met confusion and merged into unspoken longing.
" I...I..." Kyou stuttered looking away from Tohru's gaze.
" K...K...Kyou." Tohru stammered out placing a hand on Kyou's upper arm.
Kyou's hand shifted on Tohru's waist and he tucked away a strand of hair that had fallen loose from her perfect braids. He placed his head on her shoulder suddenly exhausted." I'm sorry...if...I...did...anything." He apologized.
" Ooo Kyou's got major hots for Tohru-chan." Momiji cooed.
" Shut...up..." Kyou said weakly into Tohru's shoulder.
Momiji bounced over and stuck his head really close to Kyou's. " Did'ya kiss her yet?"
Kyou slowly brought his head up to Momiji's. He tied to focus his suddenly fuzzy eyes on the annoying bunny. " I said shut...up you...damn brat." He said out of breath. He threw a weak punch at Momiji who dodged it easily and gave Kyou a concerned look.
" That was pathetic." Hiro said. " No wonder you can't beat Yuki. Geesh you can't even hit that stupid rabbit."
Kyou sent Hiro a weak glare and droped into a viloent coughing spasm.
Tohru snapped out of the daze she had been in. " Kyou." She shrieked dropping to his side. She placed a hand on his shoulder and pulled off as though she had been burned when she heard his small gasp of pain. " Oh Kyou I'm sorry! I forgot about Akito stabbing you for a moment. Oh I'm sorry! Gomen Nasai!"
Kyou's spasm died and he placed that finger over her lips again.
Tohru shut up instantly and looked at Kyou with her wide cerulean eyes.
Kyou gave her a small smile. " How about we go make dinner." He said removing his finger from her once again trembling lips. They were so enticing so hard to resist the rosy innocence. " Hmm."
Tohru returned his smile, her eyes taking on their dreamy quality. Forgetting they had an audience Tohru giggled and threw her arms around he slowly tiring boy. She was grateful for the few moments she could feel Kyou hold her back before the orange smoke consumed them. Mom I...I'm just so confused. Am I betraying you...sometimes it just feels like I am. Some days its hard to remember what you were like when I was little...the animation just doesn't come. I don't want to forget you...I don't want you to leave me...but I don't want to leave Kyou.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
