Chapter Eight: Beautiful Princess

Shigure drank his tea in silence as he started scanning over the newspaper. Hmm it seems that boy turned his self in. Must be something Kagura did.

He chuckled to himself as he thought about last night. These kids are growing up fast and soon enough there's going to be conflict.

He stopped his flashback as he heard a grouchy neko coming down the stairs. He gave the inu a glance before he sat down across from him.

"So how did you sleep, huh? I hope you didn't stay all night with Tohru." He gave Kyo a perverted grin and Kyo barked back.

"Shut up!" He looked off in the distance as he mumbled something under his breath and Shigure's ears perked up.

"What did you say?" He pretended he was reading the newspaper and wasn't interested at all. "I said that mouse should back off.", he gritted his teeth and acted like he was interested in something outside.

"What did Yuki do?", Shigure questioned him even though he knew. Kyo pounded on the table with fist making Shigure jump and he growled.

"He thinks he can just do whatever he wants. That damn rat!!" He paused before softening his voice since Tohru was in the kitchen.

"He shouldn't be messing with her just because she doesn't notice me anymore." He let out a sigh as he lowered his eyes.

Shigure grinned slightly as he started teasing Kyo. "Ah. So you know what happened to Kagura? You must be happy." He paused as he felt the neko's stare. "I mean Kagura doesn't love you anymore and you can be with Tohru. No more annoying confessions and violent attacks by that sweet girl." He gave Kyo a blank expression.

"Of course I'm happy, but I never thought she really did love me." He tapped his fingers onto the table and Shigure stared. "I just thought she wanted attention and I thought she would move on."

"Kagura really did love you. She just had a strange way of showing it, but the way she talked about you. Shigure let out a smile that surprised Kyo. "She made you seem like a god. But she fell apart as soon as she knew she didn't have a chance. That you've fallen for Tohru." Shigure paused. "I was kind of jealous of you. To be loved by someone so much…" A gust of wind came into the room as both of them fell silent and the young boy got up soon after.

Yuki

"KAGURA!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs as I tried to get out of her deathly grip. I woke up that morning, my face in her breasts at first thinking it was a pillow.

"Yun-chan, why are you so loud in the morning?" She looked dozy and let go of me when she noticed I was suffocating.

I sat up; trying to get enough oxygen and my face was flushed. I didn't know I was that close to her.

"Gomen. I woke up in the middle of the night and you looked so cold." She blushed slightly. "And I have a habit of holding things tightly, that's why I sleep with a stuffed animal."

I laughed awkwardly as she got up to stretch. My eyes darted to her body. The clothes she borrowed from Tohru were slightly smaller on her and squeezed tightly around her bottom and chest. Have I never noticed this part of her before? She looks gorgeous.

I found myself trying to control myself as my hormones started acting up. I never felt this way towards any of the girls at my school. Why am I acting like this now?

I snapped back into reality as Kagura turned to face me. She had a smile on her face as she began talking. "I wonder what Tohru cooked for breakfast." She stopped talking as she followed my gaze to her breasts.

"YUKI!!! YOU PERVERT!" She screamed at me as she started throwing pillows at me. "Kagura!!" I fell backwards as a pillow hit the side of my head and Kagura stopped and ran over to me.

"Yuki, do you only like me because of my chest?!" She shook me in a violent matter and I pretended I was unconscious. Great. The violent Kagura is back.

Kagura

"Don't you dare go on unconscious on me, Yuki! Are you listening?" Yuki propped a eye open as I stopped shaking him. I still had a grip on his shirt.

"Kagura, I like you because you're cute and sweet. Not because of your chest even though they have become bigger." He gave me a grin and my face flushed as I let go of him. This isn't the same Yuki that I've known. The Yuki I know would have never added that last part in. I think he's been around Shi-chan and Haru too long.

"Let's just eat and don't you dare stare at my butt."

Shigure

"Thank you so much. It look delicious as always Tohru." Tohru's face flushed as she arranged the dishes around a bit.

"My cooking isn't that great, Shigure-sama." She sat beside me and I smiled at her. "Your cooking is always great. You should accept comments."

Tohru eyes darted towards the stairs as she heard laughter and footsteps.

"Yun-chan, stop it!"

"It's only the truth, Kagura-nee."

"No it's not."

Kagura's sweet laugh filled the air and I felt my hairs stick up. Laughter from my dear cousin and flirting?

I held my breath as my gaze meets Kagura's face. Her gray eyes were no longer filled with sadness and confusion but with happiness. Her hair was out of place and her cheeks were light pink from the comments from her younger cousin.

I always found Kagura attractive as a young adult but I've never felt what I'm feeling at the moment. I started noticing her smile and personality yesterday as we were walking to the park.

"Ah. Yuki, I've never seen you so energetic in the morning. Is it because of that young beauty beside you?" I covered up my jealousy and I saw the two teenagers blush.

"Shi-chan, don't be like that. You should save your charm for that special girl." Kagura winked at me and sat down beside me. Yuki soon sat beside her.

"Hai. You're right, Kagura-chan." I gave her a little smile before she started eating. Kagura, you really don't understand. You are the special girl.

Tohru

I smiled at the three Sohmas and I looked around. Kyo is missing.

I stood up, but Kagura beat me.

"I'll get him, Tohru-chan. Just eat." Before I could reply, she walked out outside and I sat back down.

I started a conversation with Yuki and with Shigure. Kagura must miss seeing Kyo. It'll be better if she gets him.

Kyo

I sat on the roof, thinking about what Shigure was talking about. He was jealous of me because that annoying girl loved me? That can't be right. Maybe he's trying to make me feel guilty about this whole situation.

"Kyo-chan?" My mind froze as I heard my name and my head slowly turned towards the source.

"It's time to eat. You don't want your food to get cold." Kagura called out from the ladder and when I didn't move, she climbed onto the roof.

I turned my face towards the sky when she sat beside me. I felt a light punch on my arm, but ignored it.

"Kyo-chan, what's wrong? Are you not hungry?" Her innocence scared me as I was used to her violent character. I wasn't used to this kind Kagura.

"If you don't tell me what's wrong, I'll hurt you." She said it jokily and I froze because I knew she could if she wanted to.

"Kagura-chan.", I finally replied, but it seemed like I was talking to the sky.

"Hai?", she looked up at the sky as well and at this time, I decided to look at her. I replied after deciding she wouldn't throw me off the roof.

"Do you like…Yuki?", there was a silence before Kagura turned towards me and laughed. I was shocked that she would be laughing.

"This isn't something to be laughing about, Kagura.", He gave her a annoyed look and waited till Kagura stopped laughing.

"Gomen Kyo-chan." She let out a small laugh and smiled at him. "It's just I never knew you cared who I liked. Is it because you're jealous, huh?" She nudged me with her elbow, teasing me and my face flushed.

"NO! Why would I be jealous?" I turned my face embarrassed that I was blushing.

Kagura

I was confused that my teasing had caused Kyo to blush so easily. Why would Kyo care about me? Is he being protective?

"I know you dislike Yuki-kun, but he's not a bad person." I paused to make sure Kyo was listening. "We could have a relationship if my stubbornness doesn't scare him away." I laughed awkwardly. "And besides I would never be like Tohru." I hugged my knees and looked down at my feet.

"You don't need to be like Tohru for people to like you. You're alright just the way you are." My face flushed by that comment and I smiled shyly.

"It's funny because we're the opposite of each other. He's soft and gentle just like a prince and I am the ugly stepsister that's stubborn and not perfect." I felt tears form under my eyes and I tried so hard to keep them from falling.

"Shut up." I shook my head letting little tears fall down my eyes.

"Why would you say something like that about yourself?" Hands took a hold of my face and I looked up, confused.

"You're wrong. You aren't the ugly stepsister." His eyes rested upon mine and I stared back at his red ones. His face moved closer to mine and my face flushed. I closed my eyes out of nerves, and he went towards my ear.

"You're the beautiful princess. Don't think different." His words moved me and he walked off the roof.

I sat there frozen. What just happened? Does he really think highly of me? I've never seen him like that. Is this what he does to Tohru when their alone?

For that moment, I couldn't breathe. My heart was beating faster than ever before and I felt tears fall down my face.

At that moment, I couldn't stop those tears that fell so suddenly.

But at that moment, I was crying because I was happy.

Happy that Kyo would say something so sweetly to me.

I didn't know why.
