Simple Words: Chapter 6- Confessions

Written in Tohru's POV

Kyo just stared back at me with his mouth hanging down. My smile faded and turned into a solemn look.

"Kyo, is there something wrong?" I asked him. He blinked his eyes and his mouth finally moved to speak.

"Did you hear what I just said Tohru?" He asked me.

"About reading my diary?" I asked. "Yeah, I did and I asked which diary entry you read."

He continued to stare back at me and laid his head on the roof.

"I read the fifth diary entry."

I nodded my head and said, "I see… did you read the whole thing?"

I stepped onto the roof and sat next to him. I looked down onto his face and waited for a response. He looked up at me and nodded his head. He sat up and crossed his legs.

"Did you really mean what you wrote?"

"Yeah… I did."

"Why? No one loves the cat…"

"Kyo, that's what you think. But there are people out there who do love you, and I'm one of them."

He stared into my face, nodding his head to say he understood and I continued.

"When I was young, I've always wanted to be born in the year of the cat. I've always felt sorry for the cat being tricked by the rat and I admired the cat. But that's not all I love about you. You went through such tough times in your childhood because you possessed the curse of the cat. I want to understand you more than anyone else has and I want us to be together. I want to us to fix our problems together and I want to know you more than I do now."

Kyo's lips curved into a smile that I have never seen before.

"So you really do mean it, huh?" He laughed and continued with his sentence. "You know, I always thought that you would choose Yuki in the end. After all, you met him first. And he always knew how to comfort you at times, and I didn't."

"I don't care about that Kyo. I love you for who you are in the inside. Not what you are on the outside or what you do. And in the inside, I see a sweet and caring person that needs to be loved."

He chuckled and said, "Why? Why do you always say what I want to hear?"

Before I could answer back, he turned his body towards me and spread his arms open and pulled me into a hug. It felt warming and made all my worries go away. The moment would have been perfect if he hadn't transformed into a cat. There was a sound of an explosion and a puff of orange smoke appeared. Kyo turned into his cat form, and hung on to me with his paws and purred.

"I love you too Tohru…" he whispered into my ear.

I leaned my body against the rooftop and hugged the orange cat around the neck, and we drifted off to sleep together up on the rooftop.
