Disclaimer: I don't own it so don't sue me. Okay!

Hey chapter eight was like a big hit for some reason. I thought my leads sucked. The scenes just seemed really choppy to me, like they didn't fit together right. Anyway I'm not gonna talk much anymore cause I just don't feel like it. I'm going through a Hana faze right now. I am blank on the outside no emotions so through. Well yea so here's chapter ten. Things may get a little OOC but its not like Kyous a happy go lucky dumbwaiter and Tohru is a bitch. Shudders That would be creepy but hey read Catnip its a Kyoru story talk about weird but its cute. Anyway I have some japanese words I've recently found. I feel soooo sorry for Kyou in this chapter he's a boy on raging hormones and he's infatuated with a innocent and unconcious tease. I dont think they have forks over there but for my story they will not eat salad with chopsticks and Im too busy to go look up really little stuff that does count but I just don't have time with this chapter. Tohru may seem especially out of character but remember she is a budding young woman with teenage hormones.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began. Leo Tolstoy

A lover is a man who tries to be more amiable than it is possible for him to be. Nicholas de Chamfort

I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, 1945

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kyou was silently chopping carrots, whilst stealing glances at the girl beside him, humming and smiling as she stirred a broth to which the vegetables he was slicing would be added. He had taken the time to change into a black shirt with his red button up one pulled over it. Unbuttoned with the collar turned up and black pants. Now Kyou was still puzzling about what had possesed him to be so...well to be blunt...god damn horney. Hell I was in a coma for three weeks and she's just so fucking innocent...so pure...so damn desirable with that annoyingly cute naivety. Shigure had, had a lot of fun hashing out his opinions on Kyou's unconcious seduction. Of the position they had been found...in how they were so gonna kuchidzuke. How Kyou so was trying to seduce the virtuous blossom. That was until Kyou threw him out and told him to stay the hell out of the kitchen till dinner was ready. He wanted the chance to be alone with Tohru whilst Yuki was out. He wanted the solace so he could just look at her and think about the way he felt about her. The emotion that he wasn't allowed to feel but did. Oh how it tourtured him when he was with her but it was a sweet touture that he endured willingly. So far Shigure had taken his warning seriously and Momiji kept Kisa occupied which kept Hiro watching Momiji with a jealous and pissed off glare. She puts up with so much when it comes to me. How can she take all of it? All the pain of knowing me...how come she hasn't cracked? How can she stand to be with a monster...a cold and crude jackass like me? A cold and crude monster that had been halfway to stealing her inosensu . She's just standing there next to me so relaxed and happy. Its almost as though nothing happened between us. There's no awkwardness..or at least not that much. Its just the same content silence between us like when we're on the roof. Kyou shamelessly let his crimson gaze take in her body...trace every curve...every detail he could memorize...every inch of skin that dress didn't cover. He had to bite his lip to hold a groan in as she turned ever so slightly revealing more of her sweetly and subtly curved body to him. He turned his head away as he thought he saw her eyes shift over to look at him. He tried concentrating on cutting the damn food for her stew. Carrots, carrots that's it Kyou think about the carrots. You have no right whatsoever to imagine how she would fell beneath you. Though hell that would have to feel so good. The pleasure of having her so shy and fragile looking lying underneath me. CARROTS THINK CARROTS JACKASS. Hmmm carrots could be kinky. NOT KINKY CARROTS THINK CARROTS THINK CARROTS THINK KINKY CARROTS!

" Kyou you can put it in now." Tohru said turning her sparkling cerulean eyes upon the very aroused neko.

Kyou nicked himself with the knife. " Huh?" He squeaked his airways constricted and his eyes wide. CARROTS YOU PERV! SHE"S TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING CARROTS!

Tohru's eyes grew worried as Kyou didn't respond any more. She looked down to what his hand was holding and saw him clutch his finger. " Kyou! You're bleeding! Why didn't you tell me!"

Kyou shook his stupor off. " Its nothing...really." He said reassuringly as Tohru took his hand in hers and examined the shallow cut. Kyou grew flustered as she caressed his hand before turning the water on and gently rinsing his cut.

Tohru reached for her first aid kit she kept on top of the refridgerator. Why didn't he tell me? What if it gets infected? Oh I probably distracted him. It would be all my fault then. Tohru felt someone's presence behind her and she looked up into Kyou's firey eyes.

" Whatcha looking for?" He asked softly staring intensly into her suddenly shy blue eyes. Kami she's so gorgeous with that cherry blossom blush and the shyness in her powder dusted blue eyes.

" My med kit." Tohru replied just as softly gazing back at him with that coy shyness and that cute little cherry blossom pink staining her pale cheeks. He really is tansei and he's gotten really tall. Being so much smaller...it makes me feel so vulnerable to him. I hate being weak when it comes to people but being vulnerable like this with my body practically cradled in Kyou's. I...I don't mind...I like this feeling. Oh Kami. Oh mom.

Kyou watched her nibble on her bottom lip like a little kid who had just got thrown into a new town...having to find some way to fit in. So sweet...so virtuous...damn this arousing innocence. I hope she doesn't back up...these jeans don't hide some things so well. Kyou reluctantly dragged his eyes away from hers and grabbed her cutsy med. kit she kept.

Tohru took out a bottle of liquid bandages and held Kyou's finger in her hand. She placed the Q-tip on the cut but drew back with Kyou's sharp intake of breath. She looked up at the martail artist. " Bebi." She teased though she was worried she had hurt him.

" Yeah, yeah." Kyou said gently. " Just get it over with."

Tohru lowered her eyes again and finshed covering the cut. " There." She said screwing the cap on. " All...done..." She trailed off as she raised her eyes that still shimmered with worry for her neko. Her neko...that sounded really nice. When did Kyou's face get so close? Tohru thought drowsily as Kyou's lips leaned for her trembling ones...closer...and...closer...and...

" AH there you are Kyou-kun." Shigure sang. " You have such a way with words. So tender and velvety they are. They seep into the soul and would make any young maiden tremble. Such a novelist you could be. So great in the world of literature you would be known. Why you could follow in my footssteps dear Kyon-Kichi." Shigure twittered on.

Kyou and Tohru had jumped away from each other at Shigure's unwanted and untimely entrance, but they hadn't dropped their eyes which were still glued to each other. Kyou was only half listening to the babbling Inu but his words puzzled Kyou. " First of all I thought I said to stay the hell out of here. Second why the hell would I do that? And third What The Hell Are You Talking About!" Kyou said loudly and very confused.

" Doth our Kyon-Kichi not remember the sweet serenade of words he hath showered upon our beautiful blossom." Shigure said exasperated in a horridly accented impression of an english chap.

Kyou looked over at Tohru who had begun to blush profusly. " What the hell is he talking about?" Kyou turned to Tohru who mumbled something. " Tohru?"

Tohru turned to Kyou and plastered a smile on her face to hide her shy embaressment at recalling the sweet words he had whispered to her in agony. She closed her eyes so she wouldn't stammer under the intense stare of Kyou's burning crimson gaze. Which was making her innocent body react in ways very new to her. She never had problems with hormones before..she just never had time to worry about boys. " Oh no its nothing. Kyou-kun talked in his sleep some. Thats all Shigure-san meant by his words."

" What did I say?" Kyou asked his gaze flickering with fear that he may have said something to hurt or disgust her.

" Ah..." Tohru paused with that classic anime sweatdrop. Oh should I tell Kyou-kun the truth about what he said to me? What if he didn't mean any of it? I would end up making a fool out of both of us, and things would just be so awkward between us. No playful bickering whilst walking to work or midnight conversations on the roof...just the two of us. Why couldn't Shigure just leave us alone. Eeek oh I'm so selfish and ungrateful it is his house after all. He's allowed to come into the kitchen. I just...I just...wish he didn't... " Oh hehe you know ' that damn rat'." Tohru said.

Kyou blinked a few times. " Did Tohru just swear?"

Shigure nodded. " Tohru has added some new words to her vocabulary whilst you were sick." Shigure smirked. " I think she gets it from hanging around with you too much."

" Just cause I'm sick doesn't mean I can't get pissed of ya damn dog!" Kyou shouted.

" See told ya." Shigure taunted the aroused and irritated neko. " Thank you for proving my point Kyon-Kichi."

" Don't call me Kyon-Kichi!"

" Kyon-Kichi, oh Kyon-Kichi, oh Kyon-Kich-..."

" Grrr!"

" Dinner will be ready in a few moments. Would Kyon-Kichi set the table for me?" Tohru asked sweetly.

" S...sure." Kyou said unaware she had used Shigure's and Ayame's name for him. " Wait did you..."

Tohru smiled. " Yep!"

" Hey!" Shigure whined. " How come you don't yell at her when she calls you Kyon-Kichi." He then adorned his lecherous grin. " Kyou and Tohru sittin in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G-ee, K-I-S-S-I-N-G-ee.". They so wish! If only it weren't for Akito and this curse.

" Grrr! Stupid dog why don't you come back and fight me!" Kyou shouted as Shigure ran out of the kitchen. Dammit baka Inu singing about us kissing when he always ruins it!

" Because dear Kyon-Kichi. I know when to pick my battles. Authors Intutition." Shigure called.

" I'll shove that author intuition up his pedophilic ass!" Kyou grumbled as he stared maliciously at the kitchen entrance. So much for spending time with Tohru. Kyou let out a sad and exasperated sigh.

" Kyou." Her kawairashi onsei whispered gently.

Kyou turned around finding Tohru holding out a stack of bowls with intricate flower designs for the table set. He placed his hands around the bowls which also meant he was cupping Tohru's hands

They both looked slightly pink at the innocent connection of skin. They both could feel shocking thrills shoot through their bodies from that point. Once more their gazes met and held. Fires kindled in their eyes and the flames of unanswered want and unspoken longing flickered beckoning. The silence was a content one that said to the the other they had permission to stay.

Kyou drank in the hidden depths of Tohru's eyes, that blushed just as much as her cheeks. Twice. I've almost kissed her twice today but little Kisa and that kuso inu interupted us. I could try right now but with our luck today Momiji would walk in. Besides the other times I hadn't thought about kissing her...it just happened. If I'd been thinking I wouldn't have tried to kiss her because I would know of the humiliation and awkwardness after what I am sure would be a few moments in absolute heaven. Kyou leaned over and placed a big brother kiss on her forehead causing her to became more shy but igniting the flames still kindling in her eyes...now they burned as bold and brazenly as his own. Kyou kept his lips brushing Tohru's forehead as he spoke. " Koishii in order for me to set the table you have to let go of the bowls. Okay hachimitsu."

" O...okay." Tohru said slowly and reluctantly slid her hands out of Kyou's. She sighed as he walked out of the kitchen with an melencholy air. She stared until he was out of her view and sighed again. Wait a minute! Did Kyou...

" Aww. Kyou-kun just called you his koishii and he called you hachimitsu."

" AHH! Momiji-kun." Tohru jumped. " You startled me."

" Sorry Tohru-chan." Momiji said. " That was cute though he called you koishii and he gave you a little kiss. Finished it of with a sweet hachimitsu comment. AWWW!"

Tohru fluched and mumbled about big brothers whilst she added the last ingredients to the vegetable stew. Two times we've almost kissed and in the end I get a peck on the forehead and being called his koishii and hachimitsu. That was sweet of him, brings back the feeling of being okay with feeling vulnerable with him. When he tried to kiss me though why didn't I push him away? I've never even come close to kissing a boy before escpecially not since mom died. Mom always said your first kiss is a priceless gift and should be given to the one you will love for life and through death. Do I want Kyou-kun to be that boy to give me my first kiss. Is he the one I want? Mom...please...help me mom...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kyou was lost deep in his thoughts as he set the table his own cheeks now stained a light pink. I can't be leave I said that to her. What if she was offended by it? We're friends but we've only known each other two and a half years. That hardly gives me enough familiarity to call her Koishii. I might get away with hachimitsu its cutsy enough to be a friend-on-friend comment. Ah hell I don't want it to be just friends but we can't be more. We just can't ever. I don't want to make her suffer. She doesn't deserve the pain of having me tell her I love her. Oh Kami, damn this fucking ass curse! What if she doesn't want to speak to me anymore? What if now everytime we see each other its as awkwardly and painfully shy as it was in the kitchen? What if she starts avoiding me and won't come up to the roof to check on me? Or what if she doesn't want me to walk her home anymore? I'd never get the chance to be around her to talk to her with out looking like some desperate idiot. Ah damn it all to hell I am a desperate idiot! Kyou stood up and looked at the place settings. Originally he had just volunteered to set the bowls but now as he looked down. He had rearranged the chopsticks, spoons, knives, forks. Why the hell did I do that? Who cares if they were on the wrong side of the dinnerware? Kyou placed his hand on his hip and leaned down on the opposite leg. Man I really was lost in my thoughts. Damn that girl is gonna be the death of me. Someday I'm just going to so caught up in thinking about. Someone is just gonna have the oppurtunity to walk up and...

" Kyou-kun!"

Kyou jumped and whipped around putting him once more in a very comprimising position. There was Tohru the center of his thoughts and star of his midnight fantasies. Their eyes were wide, their noses were touching, and their lips...hehe...their lips were brushing ever so slightly causing them to freeze. No one knew if they were supposed to move forward or jump back. There were no rational thoughts reaching their heads at the moment it was all years of raging teenage hormones catching up and spilling out towards one individual. Tohru whimpered which brought Kyou's head out of the clouds. He stepped away resisting the urge to stay connected with her and take it one step further to a kiss.

Tohru had a feeling her face was going to stay pink all night long, if she kept finding herself like that with Kyou. " So umm..." Tohru fiddled with the hem of her dress. " The table is set so nicely Kyou-kun. If I knew how wonderful you are at setting a table I'd have you do it every night. Its perfect."

" Really you really think I did a good job?" Kyou asked.

" Oh yes Kyou I definatly think so!" Tohru said leaning very, very close to Kyou. Why did he break it off? He finally had the chance to kiss me and he didn't. He just pulled away and tantalisingly slow at that. I guess it was a good thing then that I didn't tell him what he really said. " Its perfect!...just like Kyou-kun is..." Oh Kami did I just say that out loud. I didn't mean to do that oh no! " Uh...I...I...mean...uh..." Tohru trailed off with a nervous giggle.

Kyou was really flustered at how close Tohru had gotten to him. Why the hell didn't I just go ahead and kiss her? I should have just went for it and then hop up to the roof. But nooo I had to start think rationally. Ah hell just brushing her lips was teenage heaven. She just...just said I was perfect ah hell. DAMMIT I should have kissed her! Idiot damn you fucking teenage idiot! " Hehe that's...uh...thanks."

" Your welcome Kyou-kun." Tohru said smiling brightly at him. Even if we do lose our heads a bit when we're alone. Kyou-kun really is one of the best friends I could ever have...but...I...I think...I want more.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yuki had just walked in, in time to catch Tohru lean intimatly close to Kyou. He saw them exchange smiles and blushes and saw Tohru chatter on in her bright, friendly manner. He saw Kyou lean slightly closer and then pull slightly back. Wait a minute Kyou's awake! When did that baka neko wake up.

" Yuki. You missed all the excitment." Momiji called.

" What excitment?" Yuki said. " Kyou's awake how is that exciting."

Momiji smiled slyly. " Yea but you should have seen how he was when we found him and what he called Tohru in the kitchen a few minutes ago."

Yuki felt the jealousy bubble in his stomach, which he tried to supress.Think about what's best for Miss Honda. " What? How did you find him? What did he say?"

" You'll have to wait till dinner Yuki." Momiji said.

" Yuki-kun."

Yuki looked up as Tohru entered the room to greet him with Kyou following closly at her side. The neko was still blushing furiously as Tohru greeted Yuki with her big smile. She didn't smile like that while Kyou was dying. She was so sad...like she was dead. Now she's so relaxed and happy. She's smiling and laughing like the world was a bed of pink cotton candy. Nothing it seemed would take the light out of her eyes now. That neko didn't deserve her but that baka made her who she was. Her smile disappeared when he was lost and when he was dying...she had been too. Slowly inside the darkness had begun to consume her. Now that he was alive and awake she was Tohru again.

" So Kyou." Momiji drawled. " Were you and Tohru having fun in there?"

Tohru blushed and Kyou clenched his fist in annoyance at the bunny's slap of embaressment.

" You were all alone." Momiji said

" You damn brat you're so sick! Do I look like Shigure to you! What are you doing even thinking that!" Kyou said angrily as he punched Momiji on the head.

" Waaah! Kyou's picking on me! Tohru-chan make him stop!"

" What makes you think she can save you, ya damn brat!" Kyou said as he went to strangle Momiji. He stopped as he felt a small hand place itself on his arm.

" Kyou don't hurt Momiji-kun you know he's just trying to get a rise out of you. You should really learn to control your irritation. If you do that Shigure-san, Momiji-kun and Hatsuharu-san won't annoy that much. Plus you and Yuki-kun might be able to eat breakfast without starting a fight." Tohru said softly giving Kyou a warm smile.

Kyou just froze when Tohru started talking to him. Dammit I wish she wouldn't have done that. She just proved that damn brat right. Grr! I knew I shouldn't have opened my mouth. I should've known she'd go all sweet just so I wouldn't fight.

" Besides Kyou-kun is still sick. You really shouldn't be fighting." Tohru scolded gently.

Kyou dropped his arms and his shoulders drooped in defeat. Leave it too Tohru-chan to make me feel guilty for fighting. I'm being controled by a girl.

" Guess that proves that point." A monotoned ushi said.

They Jyunnshi and Tohru turned to the newest houseguest.

" Hatsuharu-san what are you doing here?" Tohru asked brightly.

" Momiji and Kisa were missing. I figured this would be where they would come to. They were so worried about you and Kyon-Kichi." Hatsuharu said smirking at the very irritated neko.

Tohru's eyes shifted over to where Kyou was getting into a fighting stance. She saw he was annoyed with Hatsuharu's sudden appearance. Ah INTERVENTION! Tohru let out a nervous giggle and stepped in between Kyou and Hatsuharu. " Would Kyou-kun mind setting another place for Hatsuharu-san for me?" Tohru looked up at him with her sweet begging blue eyes. " Please." She cooed.

Kyou-kun dropped his fighting stance and stared down into her eyes as they pleaded him not to fight. They were mixed with worry and sweet manipulation entwined with the worry and plead. " Fine." Kyou grumbled as he stalked out of the foyer. Stupid cow seeing me brought down by a girl. By a friggen innocent girl like Tohru. Damn those friggen eyes. How the hell do they expect me to say no.

" Thats okay Tohru-chan. I wouldn't want to burden you with another guest for dinner. It seems you have a full house already." Hatsuharu said.

" Oh its no problem Hatsuharu-san really. Kyou and I made plenty of food that one more person wouldn't make a difference. You should stay we hardly see you around anymore." Tohru said. " You stopped coming after Kyou left." She said sadness creeping into her cheery eyes dimming her happiness.

" Hehe..." Hatsuharu placed a hand on the back of his head. " I thought I'd leave you alone. I figured I probably wasn't on your list of of favorite people to see." He said guiltily.

Tohru looked up at Hatusharu. " Oh but it wasn't your fault Hatsuharu-san. You were just doing what Kazuma-senshi asked you too. I still don't know what exactly that was...and...why you had to uh...kiss me...if thats what you would even call it...but...I'm sure...Kazuma-san has some reason. Ri...ahh!" Tohru shrieked as someone grabbed her wrist and started dragging her. " K...K...Kyou

" I don't know where the hell you keep the bowls!" Kyou growled dragging her away from the ushi and the others who knew perfectly well that Kyou knew exactly where Tohru kept the bowls.

" My...my." Hatsuharu said to Yuki. " He's certainly become quite possesive. When did he wake up?"

" I'm not sure. I just got home a few minutes before you showed up." Yuki said. " How did you get here in the same day you left?"

" I have an impeccable sense of direction Yuki." Hatsuharu said recieving sarcastic looks and sweatdrops from him and Momiji. " What? Okay so I had Hari-san drive me, but hey I do have an impeccable sense of direction."

" Yeah." Yuki said." The wrong one."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Shigure sat and watched Momiji and Kisa chatting amiably and Hiro giving the rabbit death glares. He saw Hatsuharu teasing Kisa in a big brother manner recieving the same glare fom Hiro. He saw Hatsuharu return to his conversation with Yuki who was staeling glance at Kyou and Tohru. Kyou and Tohru were stealing glances at each other and blushing furiously and looking away when their gazes happen to meet. Ahh young undeveloped love how it could blossom...right after I rub salt in the raw emotions. " So Kyou." Shigure said loudly commanding the attention of all the table. " I think we all are curious about what we saw this afternoon aspiring between you and our flower."

" I thought I told you to drop it. Nothing was going on we were just building her stand!" Kyou said.

" Kyou." Tohru said. " Remember your control."

" God its like living with Shishou again." Kyou said under his breath.

" So what are you to talking about?" Shigure inquired.

" Nothing!" Kyou said.

" Then tell us what you were doing to Tohru!" Momiji said.

" Nothing!" Kyou said.

" You really are a baka neko. God you really don't expect us to believe that you and Tohru were just building a stupid booth. You two weren't even near the materials and unless you use you head as a hammer something was going on. Just cause were younger than you doesn't make us stupid. Kisa here is the only one as innocent and naive as that stupid girl you were trying to seduce." Hiro said.

" I was not trying to seduce her!" Kyou told the middle schooler.

" Yeah so that way you were touching her is the same way you great Kagura whenever she comes over. Thats they same way you would say hi to Kisa when she comes to visit that airhead. Really there practically wasn't even any air between you to. Is that how you say good job. When was the last time you held Kagura like that huh." Hiro quiered.

" Why don't you just shut up you damn brat. What the hell would you know anyway. You're eleven years old for kami's sake.How the hell would you know what to look for." Kyou said.

" So you admit you were seducing her." Hatsuharu said.

Kyou jumped up in total rage at how the whole family seemed to be conspiring againist him. " What the hell I didn't say that! I was not sedu..." Kyo stopped as a hand placed it self on his fist and slowly sat him back down. " Huh."

Tohru brought her lips really close to Kyou's ear and placed her hand so no one could see what she was whispering. " Koishii." She said softly. " Don't let them get to you. They tease you because you always react so...so...passionatly. Sit down and eat hachimitsu."

Kyou blushed profusly as Tohru leaned back to her seat and he slowly leaned back to his own. She...she just called me koishii...a...and...ha...hachimitsu.

Yuki and the rest of the nonparticipating Jyunnshi watched Kyou and Hiro and Hatsuharu like they were watching a game of table tennis. They saw Tohru pull Kyou back down onto the floor and lean really really close covering his ear. All of their curiousity was sparked as Kyou blushed as red as a cherry and silently went to eating his dinner.

" So might we have the pleasure of knowing what our sweet blossom whispered to tame the ferocious be...neko." Shigure said stopping himself before reminding Kyou and Tohru of Kyou's original form.

Tohru turned her smile onto Shigure. " Oh nothing it just told Kyou he should sit down and eat some of the delicious soup he helped make."

" Sure." Momiji said.

" Onii-chan." Kisa said.

" Yes Kisa." Tohru replied.

" Are you really Kyou's koishii?" Kisa asked.

"..." Tohru just sort of blushed in response and Kyou's cat ears raised out of his hair as his eyebrow began that insistant twitching.

Yuki stared in disbelief that Kyou would say something like that. Momiji was just grinning. Hiro had an I-Told-You-So look on his features. Hatsuharu and Shigure were practically on the verge of explosion trying to contain their laughter. Kisa was just staring around the table wondering what was wrong with her question.

" What would make you say that?" Tohru asked.

" Momiji said that Kyou called you his koishii." Kisa said.

Shigure and Hatsuharu couldn't ake it anymore. They started snickering as Kisa revealed what Momiji had caught Kyou telling Tohru.

" Why the hell is eveybody spying on us." Kyou said.

" Oh so there's an 'us' to spy on?" Hatsuharu said between his snickers.

" Grrrr! Why you kuso ushi! I'm gonna..."

" Kyou." Tohru said standing up to block his view of Hatsuharu. " Please don't turn him black. You don't want to spend all break working to pay off a broken table and dinner set do you. We worked really hard on dinner you wouldn't want to spoil that." Tohru said pleading him with her tone and her eyes. " Please Kyou. Don't let them get to you so much. Just sit down and eat okay. Can you do that Kyou...for me."

She was doing it again. She was making him feel guilty for starting a fight with Haru. She was putting those puppy eyes on him and she was pleading like that to. Like a little kid who's puppy just ate the sofa stuffing and her parents wanted to get rid of it. She was making a fool out of him again yet protecting him. She was just there seeping into his scarred soul and covering hi wounds. Sheilding his raw emotions from having salt rubbed in them. Kyou sighed and sat down again letting Tohru have her way. He wouldn't start a figh with that stupid ushi tonight. If it would make her happy he would behave like a good little boy who wanted ice cream. Who the hell forgot to tell me that a girl could do this to me. Nobody told me that I would fall in love with someone I was determined to hate. Isn't there some kind of dummies guide for this. Thats what I need ' A Dummies Guide to Love: Prevented by a Zodiac Curse. If it'll keep her smiling I'll try really hard not to kill Momiji for tellling Kisa who wouldn't know something like that was meant to be private. Damn brat knew Kisa would ask Tohru!

Most of the Jyunnishi there watched with amused gazes as Kyou sat down once more because he couldn't say no to Tohru.

He's hopeless. Shigure thought. Maybe Kazuma is right about those two. Maybe she's the one who will set us free.

" Guess what." Momiji said breaking Kyou and Tohru out of there lala land.

" Huh." Kyou said his voice soft and wispy.

" We are all going to the onsen." Momiji said. " When I found out Kyou was awake I realized we needed to celebrate. So I called Ritsu's mother and made an impromptu mini-vacation. Its five days of complete relaxation away from the city. It'll be perfectdon't you think.

" Oh yeah Momiji that sounds great. Do you think I could invite Hana-chan?" Tohru said

" Of course you can Tohru-chan."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Okay this is too long so Ill put part two up some other time but I figured I promised this up on Saturday but I didn't have enoughh time so ill post part one now.
