Hey Guys I know this has taken me too long. I said I would have this chapter up the week after band camp but right after camp I had three practices a week and work went a little awol and I was at a party on Friday night and crashed at her house, dorney park all day Saturday, and the Gretna art show for most of Sunday before going out to eat on top of all that I lost my glasses and have been getting these major migraines until my new pair arrives. Add a horrid case of writers block and you have got the most miserable girl in the entire U.S. and U.K. So here is the next chapter and I do apologize if it is not one of my best but as a treat next chapter will be the best one so far and its prewritten so it won't take me three o four weeks to finish. So my apologies. I'm going to be putting like three to four quotes at the beginning of every chapter from now on and maybe one at the end. They all relate to the chapter somehow so I would be very obliged if you would read them along with the story. For those who would like to know about my using Hana for certain purposes well what you think is wrong that's not why I invited Hana. I'm using Hana because she can read aura's when Uo starts reading auras I'll invite her but if I invite Uo I'm going to have to have her beat up on Kyou and want to keep Tohru to hers and Hana's self. I think Tohru and Kyou don't need anymore people dropping in one their moments and if I brought Uo in I would have to change most of my advance chapters and I happen to like them the way they are right now maybe you don't care but I do now. I said it wasn't going to be that pairing will you just trust me or do I need to email you people the epilogue just so you'll believe me. Just add some more business in there and you've got where I've been Im sorry sorry sorry but life does not always agree with us.

Disclaimer: If I owned this do you really think I would spend the free time I do have on the computer writing these things.

Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly. Rose Franken

The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

" Tohru-chan that was the best dinner ever!" Momiji said his voice spilling with elation and his eyes shining with a glow that they had not seen in quite a while. That joyful mischievous glow that warned everyone to be caution around that young yellow rabbit of the jyunnishi.

" And the most entertaining one I have ever attended I must say." Shigure...well...said.

" Shut up you baka inu!" Kyou growled at the chuckling guardian.

Hatsuharu snickered unabashedly.

" You too ya kuso ushi!"

" Well its getting late and we should probably call Hari-san." Momiji said. " Even during break he gives us curfews he offered to give us a ride so we wouldn't have to walk home in the dark."

A few gazes slanted over to Hatsuharu.

" What." The ushi replied placidly. " You act as though I would get lost or something. We all know of my impeccable sense of direction."

Eyebrows are raised.

" Oh you guys aren't leaving already are you? You can't leave just yet." Tohru said jumping to her feet and commanding the attention of the present Jyunnishi members " Kyou and I were planning on making some cookies with for all of you."

" What!" Kyou said. " When did I volunteer to make cookies!"

Tohru looked over at Kyou as he flushed profusely while more snickers emanated from Hatsuharu. " Well maybe a month ago. You were really mad at Hatsuharu-san for saying something to you about me...I think...anyway you skipped our literature class. I went and found you on the roof in the same spot you always go to and you shouted at me that I didn't need to know what I said and some others were in there you know like you always do when I find you on well any roof just about."

Yuki glared at the suddenly quiet and guilty looking neko sitting beside Tohru.

" Then I guess you started feeling bad about shouting at me all the time because you let out one of those exasperated sighs the same ones you use when I'm being really stupid and naive and you did that thing where you run your hand through your hair and it gets really messing like a gust of wind just brushed past us. You said that since whenever I asked Kyou-kun if he wanted to help me bake cookies Kyou-kun always got mad or refused that the next time I wanted to bake cookies that you would help me." Tohru leaned down really, really close to Kyou's face which caused him to retreat a fraction of an inch. " And I want to bake cook...eek!" Tohru lost her balance and fell awkwardly on Kyou. She was off to the side enough so that he didn't transform but just centered enough so that when she lifted her head from off his shoulder.

Kyou opened his eyes and his breath caught as he stared into Tohru's hypnotic cerulean gaze. Once more they were stuck in a very compromising predicament. Noses were touching and their lips were barely a hairbreadth apart so that if they were to speak the would brush oh so tenderly.

Tohru's mind was captured by Kyou's deep crimson gaze. Those fathomless eyes made all thoughts disappear. Tohru had completely forgotten all about the fact that they had dinner guests apparently so had Kyou. As Kyou moved his head a fraction of a fraction of an inch closer and she responded moving another fraction of a fraction. Yes the world and all of its problems faded away...nothing existed anymore but the two of them and the emotions that they kept denying...kept telling themselves couldn't be real. That was until the were so inconveniently interrupted.

" What are onii-chan and Kyou doing?" Kisa asked innocently.

" What do you think they're doing Kisa discussing world politics." Hiro said sarcastically

" Did he kiss her yet?" Momiji asked.

Hatsuharu shrugged. " Hey Kyon-kichi is she still a virgin?"

Yuki glared at the unfazed ushi." Haru." He said indignantly.

Kyou and Tohru had leapt apart at Hatsuharu's questioning of Tohru's virginity. Why did Karma keep doing this to the two of them what had they done to deserve all of this. It kept taunting them bringing them together...so close...so intimate...then dashing it away from them in the most embarrassing...dignity stripping predicaments. They continued to just gaze at each other...into each other. It was all they could do for words could never describe they air between the two...so in love but so oblivious so that they denied it so vehemently. So convinced that they could never be together and that it was impossible for anything to come of their fruitless feelings. They knew they would only bring the other one pain and pain to the ones they loved. Yet they were still drawn towards each other and they just couldn't fight it. The gravitational pull was just too strong to be defied and as much as they wanted to deny it to themselves. Neither of them fought it very hard. It was a nice feeling to there weathered hearts...a tug at the heartstrings...a sound of rivers of life flowing through them...a rosy glow to their cheeks...a fire kindling in their eyes...and a breathless anticipation of when whilst they meet again.

Tohru took one of Kyou's hands with both of her's. She looked up at him with her sweet, sparkling, shy cerulean eyes. The pools of innocence teasing him with her naive seduction. " Please Kyou-kun." Tohru said softly and shyly. " I would be very happy if Kyou-kun would help me bake cookies for everyone." She tilted her head to the side and leaned closer raising herself upon the tips to her toes. " Please Kyou."

Kyou took a deep breath staring down at Tohru's hands holding his and then back into the pleading cerulean eyes. He searched his head for some sort of excuse finding out that he didn't really want one and that he wouldn't mind baking cookies as long as it was with her. He dropped his shoulders in defeat. I hate women. " Fine I'll bake your damn cookies with you."

Tohru's eyes shimmered with joy and she gave Kyou one of her radiant smiles that made the brightest rays of the sun seem like a shadow. Not caring about the stupid curse she threw herself at Kyou and wrapped her arms around his torso. Everyone waited for the poof but none came and Tohru could still feel the warmth of Kyou's chest against her cheek. Slowly she felt Kyou's arms encircle her waist hugging her back. She felt his chin rest on the top of her head and she smiled even bigger. She knew the family was watching and somehow knew that Kyou was aware of them too but neither of them cared. Later they could excuse it as spur of the moment or a brother sister thing but for now she was in Kyou's arms.

Forgetting the fact that Kyou had yet to transform. Yuki was clenching his fists till his knuckles were a ghostly white and he was biting his lip till it began to bleed. Yuki was trying to restrain himself but with those two being like they were in front of him. Dammit what did that baka neko have that Miss Honda sees in him that I don't.

Kisa looked at her onii-chan and Kyou hugging and her eyes were glassy with emotion. She looked over at Hiro who was looking upon the two with obvious disgust and felt a pull towards him.

Hiro's gaze slid over to Kisa where her eyes were burning holes into the back of his head. Hiro raised his eyebrow at the expression on Kisa's face. Uh-oh I don't' like what's happening. What does that look mean? Hiro saw Kisa fidget and then he saw a head of chestnut hair and amber eyes being throttled at him. " Uhh!" He said loudly as he hit the floor with a thud with Kisa lying on top of him arms around his neck hugging him till his face was blue. " Kisa...c...c...can't...b...b...b...breathe." Hiro gasped.

Tohru and Kyou looked up and over at the young couple Tohru giggled and Kyou chuckled at Kisa's death grip of affection on the struggling Hiro who had yet to take a breath of the oxygen he was being deprived of.

" Kisa." Hiro squeaked.

Kisa opened her clenched eyes and jumped of Hiro back to where she was sitting. " Sorry Hiro."

Hiro pushed himself off the ground using his hands to support him and gulped in air. ( You know that noise people make when they've been underwater for a long time and then they come back to the surface that loud annoying one that's the sound he's making. I have no clue how you would spell it out.) " What was that for!"

" Hiro never hugs Kisa anymore and when Kisa saw onii-chan and Kyou...Kisa wanted Hiro to hug her. I felt left out Hiro you say you care for me but sometimes I wish you would show it. I wish you would do something...hold my hand...give me a hug...anything."

Hiro looked at Kisa a sad and guilty shine in his eyes. " I...uh...uh..." Hiro looked away from the sadness in Kisa's eyes. " Kisa I..." Hiro slowly slid his hand over until it rested on Kisa's and when she looked to down to find out what the sudden weight on her hand was he clasped it in his own. He smiled when she looked up at him with her shining amber eyes and was giving a smile in return this time when Kisa threw herself at him Hiro was there to catch her and give her the showing of affection that she needed...he still wasn't ready for the air deprivation though...but this time he didn't care...much. "Kisa...g...gg...going...t... t...to...p...pp...pass...out."

Tohru and Kyou giggled and chuckled again along with Momiji. Hatsuharu sat their very thoughtful and Shigure with his lecherous grin and Yuki was being ignored by everyone.

Tohru's lower lip trembled but she smiled and held Kyou just a little tighter still unconcerned about Kyou not transforming. " Aww that is so cute." She squealed.

Momiji smiled slyly. " Looks like there's more then one cute thing going on here." He said frowning slightly as he caught sight of Yuki.

Tohru let her face turn a cute little tickle me pink but she kept smiling her eyes shining with laughter. She looked up and found Kyou's crimson eyes shining with a vulnerability even she rarely saw in his eyes. It made her feel warm somewhere inside.

" Yeah." Kyou said softly. Only Tohru heard what he had said for his word was meant for her alone.

" So Miss Honda." Yuki gritted out politely as he could. " What kind of cookies were you planning on making." They can't just ignore me. If that baka neko thinks he can just keep putting the moves on Miss Honda while I am in the same room and expect me to restrain myself. He really is that stupid.

Tohru and Kyou finally snapped out of the daze they had been trapped in once again by the looks in the eyes of the other and the feeling of being held in each others eyes.(A/N: I know a little repetitive here but I mean seriously I have a bad case of writers block. Look how long its taking me to post it.) " Oh Yuki." Tohru said her and Kyou standing apart refusing to look at anybody including each other. " I was planning on making a some chocolate cookies and sugar cookies too." Tohru tilted her head slightly enough so that she could see Kyou through her peripheral vision and her blush deepened slightly. She smiled shyly and placed her fist on the edge of her lips resting it against her right cheek. " And a few peanut butter ones..."

Kyou tilted his head enough so he too could see Tohru through his peripheral vision giving her and identical smile.

" Hey." Momiji said twirling himself around. " Peanut butter those our Kyou's favorites.(A/N: My idea because I love peanut butter cookies) I remember cause Kagura used to make them all the time. Kyou never them ate ,he always told her he hated them, but I did." Momiji giggled at a recovered memory.

Flashback

" Kyou my love!" Kagura sang.

Kyou crouched behind a bush pulling Momiji down with him. The rabbit had tricked Kyou into playing hide-and-seek with him. It was stupid since there were only two of them but it was Momiji or Kagura. Kyou placed a finger over his lips. " Shhh." He said.

Momiji shook his head vigorously. It had taken him forever to convince Kyou to play with him. Momiji had felt sorry for Kyou because nobody seemed to want to be his friend. Momiji knew what it was like to feel alone even though he didn't let people see him sad. He acted cheery but he still spent the nights crying wishing his mother could've loved him for just being her son. He had found Kyou by the river a few minutes away from the main house. He had his legs wrapped closely around his chest and his eyes held a sad and lonely look to them. Kyou finally agreed to play with Momiji after he let something about calling Kagura slip. Unfortunately the peace never lasted long and Kagura was searching them out.

" Oh Kyou my love where are you?" Kagura said. " My mommy made us some cookies. I made sure they were peanut butter your favorite.

" PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!" Momiji yelled jumping out from the bush dragging Kyou with him

Kagura held out the steaming plate of cookies to the two boys. " Yep I had them made to show Kyou how much I Love him."

" I'm not eating your cookies besides I hate peanut butter cookies." Kyou lied turning away and sticking his nose up in the air.

Kagura's eyes filled with tears and her lower lip trembled furiously. " B...bb...bb...but Kyou. I MADE THEM JUST FOR YOU WITH ALL MY LOVE!" Kagura jumped and ran towards Kyou ready to pounce him.

Kyou turned to see the saddened and uncontrollable boar throttling towards him. His eyes grew wide and he took off like a rocket his arms flailing behind him his feet like two supersonic dots running around the river's edge. " Ahhhhh! You stupid rabbit you just had too didn't you. I would've got you cookies if you just would've shut up. Ahhhhh! She's gonna kill me! If she eats me I'm blaming you!"

Momiji just smiled as he munched on a cookie and gazed cheerily upon the ginger-haired crimson-eyed boy being chased by the psychotic brunette.

Flashback

Tohru giggled and turned towards Kyou who was blushing profusely. " I don't know if she would have eaten you." She giggled again.

" Yea well it seems like that when you're seven years." Kyou said peevishly causing another giggle to escape from Tohru.

" Yes Kyou I'm sure you are absolutely correct. I'm s…ss…orry.…" Tohru giggled again.

Kyou gave her a wide eyed look. " You did you said sorry without actually meaning. You used sarcasm……kind of" Kyou said.

" Well bravo Tohru-chan." Shigure said. " Quite a feat for you to perform."

" It just shows that baka neko's bad traits are starting to rub off on Miss Honda." Yuki said. " Not that he has any good ones."

" Oh no Yuki its okay really." Tohru said smiling at the annoyed and seriously pissed off nezumi. " I actually find Kyou's sarcasm amusing most of the time."

Kyou sent the rat a triumphant glare to which the rat returned a one the clearly said he was on the verge of murdering the cat. Kyou broke away from the heated stare contest when he felt something place itself in his palm. He looked down and saw a small pale hand. " Kisa?"

Kisa looked up at Kyou with her golden eyes. " Does Kyou-kun mind if Kisa-chan helps him and onii-chan with the cookies."

Kyou bent down so that his knee was touching the floor and he rested his elbow on it so he could rest his cheek on the back of his hand. He was at eye level with Kisa and he titled his head smiling at her. " Do you even need to ask Kisa-chan of course its okay." Kisa smiled brightly at Kyou and threw herself at him in a hug similar to Hiro's but Kyou could take the little girl's unexpected strength. Kyou was caught a little off guard by Kisa's affection. He was used to all the parents of the younger Sohma's warning them to stay away from him. He was stiff and rigid when he first felt Kisa's arm around him but slowly he relaxed. He placed his chin gently upon her forehead and stroked her chestnut hair like an older brother would when his little sister felt bad or when she was happy. He smiled a little wider as he hugged Kisa back earning him a death glare from Hiro….and someone else's attention was caught.

Tohru gazed thoughtfully at Kyou's gentleness with Kisa. How he looked so happy to have the affection from the little girl. As much as Kyou would like to deny it he really is very sweet and he's as much a gentleman as Yuki is. Tohru smiled at the pair. Kyou-kun would be a wonderful father. What a dream it would be to have Kyou's child knowing that it would grow up loved and cared for by him. Tohru saw Kyou turn his head and give her a very intimate smile and she instantly blushed. Did….did I just think about…..having Kyou's child.

" Onii-chan what are you thinking about."

Tohru snapped out of her internal shock. " Oh n…n….n…..nothing Kisa-chan. Just stuff." Tohru giggled nervously scratching the back of her neck where she had thrown her hand to rest. She opened her eyes and saw Kyou and Kisa standing in front of her with Kyou lightly clasping Kisa's hand. He even looks like the perfect father….eek. I'm not even out of high school and I'm thinking about Kyou being the perfect father.

" If that stuff is making you blush that much….." Shigure said. " I want to know what you're thinking."

Immediately three super-sized bruises appeared. Two from Yuki and Kyou for the usual reasons of Shigure being hentai around Tohru and Kisa. The third from Hatsuharu whom explanation was waiting for.

Hatsuharu gave the battered inu a passing apathetic glance. " He deserved it. It was putting images in Kyou's head….and Tohru's"

Kyou growled and Tohru blushed. They were both interrupted though as Kisa laced her finger with both Kyou and Tohru's. Kisa looked up at Tohru and the turned her head to look at Kyou. " How about we go bake those cookies now." Kyou and Tohru smiled down at Kisa and then looked up at each other and smiled.

" Sure Kisa." Kyou said.

Tohru just smiled. What else could be done at the moment….she had the perfect family.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

" Onii-chan the sugar cookies are finished!" Kisa said excitedly.

Tohru giggled.

" Alrighty Kisa." Kyou said handing her an oven mitt. " Would you do the honors."

Kisa's eyes widened and glowed with joy. " Really I can take them out of the oven."

" Well if Tohru agrees with me." Kyou said.

Tohru cupped her chin with her hand and mock pondered the issue. " Well." She drawled. " I don't know."

Kisa faced Tohru and clasped her hands putting on the puppy dog look. " Please oh please onii-chan. May I please take the cookies out."

Kyou put on an identical puppy dog look. ' Yeah onii-chan please oh please may Kisa take the cookies out."

Tohru giggled waving her hands in front of her in defeat. " No fair two against one."

Kisa pouted and playfully poked Tohru's side and heard her giggle….so she poked her again. " Onii-chan?"

" Kisa be careful where you poke me." Tohru sad giggling.

Kyou smiled mischievously and advanced slowly towards.

" Kyou?" Tohru asked. " What are you doing?"

" Does Tohru-chan happen to be ticklish be chance?" Kyou asked.

" Kyou no please." Tohru backed away but saw Kyou raise his hands. " Kyou!" Tohru shrieked as she felt Kyou's hands glide across her sensitive sides. Tohru burst into giggles as she fruitlessly tried to escape Kyou's unforgiving torture.

" Come on Tohru-chan fight back. Try to escape me why don't you." Kyou said grinning victoriously.

Tohru giggled uncontrollably as she looked for something to distract Kyou and she found her salvation in the form of a tube of pink icing. She grabbed it very ungracefully knocking off the other icings. She shrieked again before uncapping the tube a power squeezing half the tube right into Kyou's face and some flicked into his hair.

Kyou stopped and stared stupidly at Tohru. He blinked his eyes though he couldn't believe that what had happened actually did. He saw Tohru break into a gorgeous smile and figured he must look pretty dumb. His eye caught on a tube of orange frosting at his feet and he wrapped his arms around her waist and he dropped down to the floor pulling Tohru with him.

Tohru shrieked as she fell to the floor and found herself lying beneath Kyou. She was glowing and breathless from all the giggling she had done and her hair was mussed from all the head jerking she had been doing. Her eyes were crinkled and the corners moist with her laughing tears. She was a morning after scene to make any horny sixteen year old ache and she was stunning Kyou. Tohru saw him lower his head with a slow seductiveness and felt his warm ragged breath on her pouting lips. Her mind was screaming for Kyou to steal her first kiss and take a small part of her innocence away. It looked like he was going to but she neglected to see his hand reaching for the tube of frosting and she closed her eyes waiting…..waiting. She felt his lips almost upon her they brushed gently…teasing her and then she felt his revenge. Fluffy and sticky orange sugar all over her face and in her hair. She opened her eyes to see Kyou smiling down on her.

" Revenge really is sweet." Kyou chuckled. He saw a lump of frosting on the corner of her lip and found the perfect opportunity to kiss her and not admit to it. He leaned down and paused as he saw Tohru close her eyes. He gently placed his lips softly on her sweet frosting coated mouth they were close but not quite a kiss. He closed his eyes as he leaned closer and gently pressed Tohru down to the floor. He felt her wrap her arms around his neck. He licked the orange frosting off the corner of her innocent lips and heard her whimper in slight surprise and he broke out of his daze. Kyou pulled away finally realizing what he had done. He had almost taken her first kiss he knew because she had told him once about just how innocent she was. He remembered because he spent the whole night lying in his bed aching to show her what it felt like to not be innocent but he was almost as innocent as she. When he had been six he "kissed" Kagura but that wasn't really innocent stealing. This right now what had just happened had been what he considered the closest he had come to his first real kiss and he felt ashamed. He had almost taken it from Tohru and thought maybe she hadn't wanted him to take it. Kyou looked away from Tohru's eyes which were wide with the awe of an innocent while his were filled with guilt. " I'm sorry." Kyou let go of Tohru and took her arms off his neck and gently stood making sure he didn't hurt her. He looked down on her for a second her eyes now filled with confusion lost in his filled with anguish. Then he turned away and walked out of the kitchen leaving Tohru and poor, poor confused Kisa.

" Onii-chan what happened?" Kisa asked.

Tohru looked down at the floor saddened. A feeling of being lost settled over her as she answered Kisa. " I don't know Kisa-chan."

" I took the cookies out of the oven like Kyou-kun said I could." Kisa said.

Tohru stood up and absently brushed her apron hem. " Thank you Kisa." She said distantly.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Kyou sat on the roof still covered in sticky pink icing. He stared blankly into the dark autumn evening sky thinking about how he almost made a complete fool of himself. He had just got so caught up in the moment. The world had faded away in laughter and playful revenge, childish peeves and pink and orange icing. He never wanted it to go that far but for some reason it always did. Maybe it was this stupid curse, the vengeful cat spirit just wanting a resemblance of love...a feeling of being wanted. Maybe it was just because he was a normal seventeen year old boy with normal seventeen year old desires, for a normal seventeen year old girl, who coincidentally happened to live in the same house as he. Okay okay so he wasn't just a normal seventeen year old boy but hell he was as normal as he could possibly be...right. It was okay to have dirty thoughts about your innocent best friend who slept one across and three doors down from you. SO maybe it wasn't okay to have those thought but it was normal to think about things that you shouldn't be thinking about the girl who lives within a ten foot proximity of you. The girl who makes breakfast for you, walks to school with you, takes the same classes as you, talks and smiles and laughs with you. He was so confused so it wasn't okay to have those thoughts but it was because its normal. He hated being a teenager it did things to you that just left you with ringing ears and a headache. Of course it wasn't okay to be thinking pervy thoughts about Tohru...sweet...young...naive...innocent...spacey...Tohru. Maybe I should stop thinking about her like that maybe she isn't naive and innocent and all that. I mean she's a teenager too just because she's a girl doesn't mean she gets to skip out on hormones hell she even has a cycle she goes through. She's a normal seventeen year old so she must have normal seventeen year old desires. Its not like he was ugly I mean he could probably at least get her to tell him that he was cute. It wouldn't be unnatural for her to have feelings for him you know maybe she had dirty thoughts about people too. He grew angry at the thought of Tohru having thoughts about other people but why the hell would she have thoughts about him. He was a hideous beast beneath this facade...this disguise as a temperamental orange haired crimson eyed seventeen year old boy. He didn't have emotions, couldn't love, couldn't want, couldn't fear he had no heart no soul...all he could do was hate. Who would want to even try to love him...all the end up with is a broken heart...a broken spirit...left to di...

" Kyou-kun."

" AHH!" Kyou jumped as the small gentle voice creeped up on him. He turned to see Tohru staring at him over the ledge of the ladder. " WHAT THE Hell was that...for..." Kyou trailed off as he noticed Tohru was failing to suppress a horrid round of giggles that begged to burst past the hand and the smiling face that contained them. He cocked a quizzical eyebrow at her.

" Kyou-kun is still covered in pink icing." Tohru giggled trying not to let all of her bubbliness leak out. She came and sat carefully beside Kyou. She wrapped her arms around her knees bringing them up to her chest. She buried her head into her knees to smother another round of suppressed giggles.

Kyou sighed. " It's okay you can laugh."

Tohru looked up at Kyou her eyes sparkilng with tears of laughter and the brightness of the October stars. She giggled as she caught a glimpse of just how much she had covered Kyou with the tube of pink sugar. She giggled harder as she wiped a streak across his cheek making him look like he had some girly war paint on. " Attack of the Killer Teddy Bears!" She placed a hand over her mouth as Kyou looked at her like she was crazy.

Kyou placed his hand on the one Tohru had covering her mouth surpressing her giggles and pullled off. " Attack of the Killers Teddy Bears?" He asked with a chuckle in his voice.

" I'm sorry Kyou-kun but I just...I just..." Tohru giggled even harder. It sounded even stupider but cuter too when Kyou repeated her. " It sounded so much nicer in my head...with the pink war paint and all." Tohru subcummed to more giggles.

" Pink war paint?" Kyou asked.

Tohru smiled. " You're all covered in pink icing Kyou it looks lie you have some girly war paint on and I thought about killer teddy bears."

Kyou looked at Tohru incredulousy and smiled at her sweet and vulnerable and he chuckled. " You really are a space cadet."

Tohru smiled back at Kyou just as sweet and just as vulnerable when a chill breeze blanketed them long brown locks mixing slightly with short spikey orange one eyes dancing with unrestrained laughter and a happy contentment each enjoying the others company.

" I'm sorry if I scared you or anything."

" Of course Kyou-kun hasn't scared me. We had fun didn't we?"

" S...sure."

" Then everything is okay. After all who can resist sugar

" Yea...sugar"

The two shared another smile that left them open to each other. Turning to stare over the peaceful forest and the sleeping city till the chill night would tell them it is time to part.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Here it is I had to do it angstiness followed by the cute fluffiness. HeHe next chapter to come as soon as I get the time to finish it but I tell you I have started it because I know it will take me a while to finish because most of my nights are booked till I die...unfortunately. Reason Kyou didn't transform is because Tohru had her oven mitt tucked in the tie in her apron and the tie sting is just a little higher then her waist. I couldn't fit it in the chapter with out ruining the moments so here is my explanation.
