Is it morning already?
Kyo questioned as a small ray of light pierced through the curtain and into his eyes. Then realizing where he was and that he wasn't alone he turned over to see his sleeping beauty laying there beside him.
Oh Tohru you are so beautiful. If the proof of me lying here right now wasn't real enough I would have thought last night to be a dream.
He placed a hand on her head and stroked her hair. They stayed like that for a while and Kyo began to wish the moment would last forever. Suddenly the sound of loud footsteps could be heard running towards the room. Startled Kyo sat up and attempted to get out of the bed, but it was too late. The door flew open and there stood Kagura. Shock and anger were plastered in her eyes.
Kyo just sat there half naked next to Tohru who was in her underwear. Behind Kagura appeared an awkward Yuki and a disappointed Shigure. Finally Kagura was the first to break the silence.
"Kyo, why?"
Kyo remained silent and so did Tohru. Kagura tried to bring herself to speak again but the words wouldn't form in her mouth. Kyo looked up at her and as they made eye contact for the first time he saw tears swell up in her eyes. She turned away embarrassed and overwhelmed all at the same time as she calmly tried to make it down the stairs.
"Ugh...damn it, Kagura!" Kyo called frustrated behind her. He closed the bedroom door after him and Tohru remained sitting there confused and ashamed.
Kagura was stood there facing the front door as if she was contemplating whether or not to stay or leave. Her arms were folded in front of her as Kyo came down the stairs. Shigure and Yuki weren't far to follow.
"Kagura, we need to talk"
"Talk then." Her words were blunt.
He cleared his throat.
"Earlier you asked me why," her back was still to him, "I think you already know the answer to that question you just don't want to admit it to yourself."
"Admit what!" Kagura snapped back at him. "That you love her and not me!"
Kyo didn't respond.
"I can't believe how insensitive you are being. So that one night really meant nothing to you." Her voice had changed harsh now.
His gazed lowered as she turned towards him. He didn't want her to see the shame in his eyes.
"I feel sorry for Tohru. I bet last night with her meant nothing to you either."
"Hey!" Kyo shouted angrily. "You will not speak of Tohru that way!"
Kyo knew what she was trying to do. It is human nature to try and blame someone one else for your problems. It makes you feel better, but he would not let Kagura get away with that. Not with Tohru. She could say anything she wanted about him but leave Tohru out of it. Kagura paused for a moment realizing that she had crossed the line.
"Kyo just tell me do you love me?" she spoke more carefully now as not to upset him like before.
He sighed before answering.
"Kagura we have always been close…"
"Just answer my question!"
"I don't love you."
She began holding back tears again.
"Did you love me when we slept together?"
"Yes."
"Then what changed?"
As much as she tried she failed. Kagura was sobbing now, and staring intensely at Kyo. She was searching him for an explanation.
"Listen Kagura, we have always been close, even when we were little. We spent a lot of time together and our friendship quickly grew into a unique bond. It stayed that way for a very long time until the day Tohru came into my life. Before I knew it I had developed feelings for her and in that moment I compared my feelings towards her that I had of you. Kagura I realized then it wasn't the same. It never was the same."
Kyo paused for a moment taking a breath. Kagura was still crying when he looked up at her to insure what he was saying was getting through to her. He inhaled taking one more breath before continuing.
"Then during the time that Tohru fell for Yuki, my heart was crushed. I tried to block every emotion I had towards her out and when I did that the only feelings that remained there were the ones for you. I guess you could say I ran to you as a way to heal the wound in my heart left by Tohru. To others it may have seemed like I was using you, but in my mind I had done no wrong. To know that at least one person in this world loved me was comforting. And then that night happened. You told me how much you loved me and one thing led to another. In that moment I honestly thought I may love you but then when I went home and saw Tohru again, all the old emotions I had tried so hard to block out came rushing back. Then that feeling of love I had for you became nothing more than a strong bond of loving friendship."
"Kyo I don't want to hear anymore." Kagura interrupted.
"Please Kagura let me finish I need to get this out and I am almost through."
She reluctantly nodded.
"I have no regrets, and I know what we did may not have been the right thing to do but what's done is done. I am sorry Kagura if I ever made you feel as if there was something more between us but there isn't. The person I am in love with is Tohru. I hope we can still be friends."
After hearing all that and taking it in Kagura had slowly started to calm down. She wasn't crying anymore but her eyes were puffy and red.
"I guess that's all I needed to hear. Goodbye Kyo."
With that Kagura headed out the front door leaving behind a disgruntled Kyo. He turned around to see Shigure and Yuki standing there. A question arose in his mind of how long they had been there for but he decided to skip that interrogation for now. Unfortunately Shigure wasn't feeling the same way.
"Well Kyo this is a fine mess you've gotten yourself into."
"Shut up Shigure."
Kyo started to walk away when Yuki's cold voice stopped him.
"I don't condone your actions."
"No one asked your opinion."
"Something needs to be done."
"I haven't done anything to be reprimanded on if I did surely the apology I just gave Kagura was good enough."
"Actually Kyo," Shigure intervened. "Having said that some is resolved yes but there is still much to discuss on the matter."
Just as Kyo was about to say something to defend himself a petite voice could be heard calling to him. Surprised he turned to see Tohru. He was hoping she had stayed in her room. Knowing, however, how doubtful that was he went with the assumption that she had heard the whole thing.
"I'm sorry I don't mean to interrupt you."
"No it's fine Tohru. I need to talk to you anyway."
Kyo then understood what Yuki and Shigure where getting at. He looked at them mentally asking for some privacy to speak alone with her. Shigure and Yuki look at each other briefly before nodding in approval and leaving. It was awkward silence between the two until Kyo sat down on the couch and motion for her to sit next to him. He breathed heavily before he began to speak.
"Tohru I…"
"You don't have to explain Kyo, I heard everything."
"Are you mad?" He asked unsurprised.
"No, I think I understand your feelings and why you did what you did."
Kyo was so relieved to hear her say that.
"I want you to know Tohru, that the way I felt about Kagura is completely different then how I feel about you. I love you Tohru Honda."
He placed his hand on her cheek and caressed it softly as he gazed into her beautiful eyes. As he held her face in his hand he could see it change from its normal pale white to a bashful crimson color. She smiled tenderly at him and he returned her gesture with a sweet kiss. Kyo was happy Tohru knew the truth, and he was very grateful that she was accepting of it. Tohru stood up cheerfully turning to him.
"How about some breakfast?"
He chuckled.
"That sounds nice."
Tohru smiled and made her way into the kitchen, followed by the sounds of running with pots and pans. Kyo spread out on the couch and folded his arms behind his head as he laid there relaxing. Shigure came in shortly afterwards and sat down at the table. He picked up the newspaper and began reading. Yuki could be hard upstairs walking down the hallway towards his room.
Suddenly the front door opened with a slam. A loud voice could be head simultaneously with the door shouting.
"Kyo!"
He sprang up being so started and jerked out of his relaxation he ran to towards the commotion. The others closely were following behind. There in the door frame stood Kagura panting heavily out of breath and exhausted. She had run all the way back there having almost been home.
"Kagura what's wrong?" Kyo asked confused by her soon return.
She didn't answer him. She was looking down in a hunched over position still panting and using her arm to support herself in the door frame.
"See here Kagura if this is about you trying to persuade me into dating you or somethin-"
"Kyo I'm pregnant!"
As she said this her eyes met with his. In disbelief Kyo went blank and froze. He didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do. The only thing that entered his mind was Tohru.
