Now on with the story! :3

Tohru yawned and stretched and looked out of the window and saw Tristin also waking up in the tree, Tristin looked at Tohru straight in the eye with a smile. How did he do that?!? As Tohru looked at the tree, she remembered the clothes line was attached to it, Tohru looked down the clothes line to the left, she couldn't believe her eyes! She saw Taylor kissing Kyo!Tohru studied the image again, Taylor had the same expression on her face as Tohru, so it must have been Kyo you kissed Taylor not the other way around, this was even more troubling, as her eyes moved away from the kissing image she saw Tristin looking her straight in the eye again, she knew precisely what the look on Tristin's face meant now. "We need to talk, now!" Tohru got up and got dressed into a t-shirt and a skirt. She went downstairs to see Tristin already in the living room munching on the toast and eggs Taylor layed out for breakfast.

"Hmmm." murmurred Tristin looking straight into Tohru's eyes. Tohru took a seat at the living room table right beside Tristin. She felt uncomfortable in this situation, it was her lover who was kissing his, Tristin had the tempo in this situation.

"Why?" asked Tristin bluntly

"I-I don't know" replied Tohru regretfully, such a blunt answer to give Tristin, Tristin did nothing wrong and deserved a better answer then that. Tohru was afraid, the last time she said I don't know as an answer was to Akito, and Akito beat her for that, what would Tristin do?

"Hmmm. Are you going to eat?" Tristin gestured to a plate infront of Tohru, Tohru began to eat and wondered if Tristin was angry. He must have been.

"Tohru-senpai, would you mind if I took you, Kyo, and Taylor out to dinner today? Just casually, nothing to do with this situation." said Tristin. Tohru was confused, she just saw Kyo kissing his beloved, did he care? Tohru knew how to find out, his eyes. Tohru turned her head to meet Tristin's it was her who was going to look at his eyes this time, but she was wrong, Tristin's eyes were already waiting for her's on the other side, but Tristin let Tohru see the deep dispair in his features.

"No I don't mind, I look forward to it!" said Tohru happily, Tristin tried to look happy and forced a grin on his face, but Tohru's happiness was not enough to erase the memory of Kyo kissing Taylor for either Tristin nor Tohru. Tohru saw Kyo walk inside, he was smiling and looking happy, as he walked by he grabbed a toast from Tohru's plate and left. Taylor walked in with her face looking like she just got raped. For something like this at her age... She was. Taylor ran over and hugged Tristin, she collapsed crying. Tristin was stroking Taylors head and consoling her, while he also idly gave Tohru part of his breakfast to make up for what Kyo took.

They sat there like that for queit awhile until Tohru announced she was going grocery shopping and offered Taylor if she wanted to tag along. She agreed and as they left Tohru realized Taylor was clinging to Tristin's arm so much that Tristin was forced to come along, not like he didn't mind.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

At the grocery store Taylor looked like a daughter clinging to her father, she wasn't crying but still looked sad, Tristin was still stroking her head, he was also carrying the basket full of groceries while helping Tohru shop.

"Hey Tristin-san, do you know how to cook any European dishes?" asked Tohru

"I do" replied Tristin

"Could you please teach me some?" asked Tohru.

"I will" said Tristin looking very happy

Tohru was done shopping and was walking to the cashier with Tristin when something caught her off gaurd.

"What a cute family!" said the cashier while looking at Tristin,Tohru and Taylor. Tristin had a disagreeing look on his face trying to tell the cashier they weren't related without embarassing anyone or making a scene. What Tohru didn't realize was that Taylor and Tohru blushed simeltaneously when the cashier said his comment until she looked at Taylor, Tohru also didn't realize Tristin was paying for the groceries until she saw the money. She wanted to say something but her cherry red blush kept her from moving let alone protest. Tristin slowly grabbed Tohru's hand with the hand he was carrying groceries in, and lead Tohru calmly out of the market. The walk home was pretty quiet despite Taylor's and Tristin's mini conversations about miscellanous things. One of the subjects was the restaurant they were going to for dinner, apparently they were going to a Portuguese restaurant that also served Japanese food. Tristin was thinking dearly about Tohru's and
Kyo's tastes.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"I'll take the salmon and crab" ordered Taylor

They were at the Portuguese restaurant, the atmosphere was brimming with excitement, many European men were around, this made Kyo uncomfortable, he never seen so many Europeans in one place, this made him more protective of Tohru then usual.

"I'll have what my love is having" said Tristin

"Salmon and crab it is" said the waitress cheerily

"Udon" grunted Kyo

"Yes sir" said the waitress

Tohru didn't want to offend Tristin's nice gesture of taking them out to a European restaurunt, on the contrary, from what Tohru had tasted, she completely adored European food, the problem was that Tohru only understood
A part of the menu. Tohru quickly looked over Tristin for guidance, Tristin was waiting on the other side as usual, he looked like he understood the situation entirely, and pointed at a spot on the back of the menu, which on the menu side was reffering to a soup and herring dish. Tohru loved herring and liked the European soup Tatlor made for them one day, which looked exactly like the one she was going to order. How did Tristin know? Tohru went to look Tristin again, Tristin was waiting again, he had a happy look on his face that expressed "Don't worry about it"

"I'll have the herring and soup please" ordered Tohru happily, Kyo nudged Tohru, but ignored it.

"Oh I'm sorry, what was that" apologized the waitress, Tohru seemed to be interrupting a conversation between her and Taylor in Portuguese.

"Herring and soup, please" repeated Tohru

"Oh excellent choice, okay, I'll be back shortly with your meals" said the waitress with a smile who walked away.

"So Tristin-kun, do you know how to make any of these dishes?" asked Tohru

"All this and much more, actually I taught Taylor-chan a lot about European cooking" said Tristin

"Ya, Tristin-chan is a great teacher, he knows lots" added Taylor with a smile. Taylor's attitude towards Tristin has changed a lot lately, it something good must have happened between them. This made Tohru feel happy and something else, something she never felt before, it was because Tristin was no longer single, and he was such a nice guy. I think this emotion was called. Jealousy.

"Here you are!" the waitress came back with the food, she handed Kyo his udon, Taylor and Tristin their fish and shellfish, and lastly Tohru her herring and soup. It looked delicious and smelled better.

"Call if you need anything else sir" she said to Tristin while winking

The small group started eating, constant conversations started with Tristin and other groups over a sport called "soccer" it was being displayed on a television in a corner of the restaurant. The Europeans were pretty enthusiastic about it seeing as they cheered every time one of the teams were winning or had scored a point called a "goal". Tristin sure knew a lot about the sport since the other tables kept asking him stuff and included him in their cheering. Taylor was talking with older ladies of other tables about food, they seemed to be talking about a pastry made in Portugal. Kyo was pretty quiet, he was focusing on deciphering the game of soccer, he was focusing on the television while eating much more frantically then Tristin, who was already a fast eater.

"Game!!!" shouted a man at the back of the restaraunt and most of the men in the restaraunt got up and chanted something enthuastically. Taylor didn't even seem phased by it, same with the other women, this must have been a common thing in Europe. Tohru giggled when he saw how happy Tristin was. After awhile the chanting calmed down and they waitress came bearing dessert. Kyo was given a pastachio ice cream. He didn't seem to mind, he looked like be ordered it, Tohru had no idea about ordering dessert, would she get any? The waitress handed Tohru a bowl of chocolate ice cream, Tohru loved chocolate ice cream! Tohru looked at Tristin who was already looking back and nodded. How did Tristin know she liked chocolate ice cream? Taylor and Tristin are both given a European pastry called cannoli. After dessert the bill came. 5000 yen?!?!? Kyo was already getting out his wallet on the intent of paying for himself and Tohru, but Tristin shot him a look that made
him put back his wallet quickly and looked intimidated. Tristin payed the bill in full without even wincing at how much he spent. The waitress looked very surprised, but collected the money and left. Then the small group went home. On the way home Kyo said something to Tristin that Tohru couldn't hear, Kyo was grinning at what he said, Tristin looked like he could care less. When the small group got home, it was raining and Taylor and Tohru went straight to bed, but while Tohru was walking up the stairs she called out to Kyo who was sitting in the living room with Tristin "Are you coming to bed?"

"Soon..." replied Kyo

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"Clash!"

It was in the middle of the night when Tohru was woken up by the sound of metal against metal. Tohru heard it come from outside, and Kyo wasn't in bed yet, Tohru feared the worst! As Tohru crept out of her room she heard more clashing and saw Taylor doing exactly what Tohru was doing. When Tohru got downstairs and opened the living room door she was petrified, same with Taylor! Tristin and Kyo are fighting! With swords! Tristin had a position where the slightest move might kill Kyo, Tristin didn't look happy about this, Kyo looked like he was about to crap his pants! Tohru really thought Tristin was going to kill Kyo!!! Tohru too petrified to try to defend Kyo was relieved A LOT when Tristin backed away and sheathed his blade. Kyo collapsed looking defeated. Tristin picked him up and went through the front door, he didn't see Tohru or Taylor. When Tristin opened the front door he walked right by the living room without realizing Tohru or Taylor again! He
heard Tristin walk upstairs, set Kyo down to his and Tohru's bed and jump out the window to his tree. Tohru and Taylor both were at capacity to try to figure out anything yet, so they both went back to bed.
