Simple Words: Chapter 7- The next day

Written in the POV of Kyo

The sun's rays reflected upon my face, startling me and causing me to open my eyes. I slowly opened them and looked down at myself to find that I had no clothes on, and lying down next to me was Tohru. She was still sleeping so I quickly gathered my clothes and put them on before Tohru woke up and saw me. At the moment I slipped my shirt on I heard a yawn from behind and turned to see Tohru stretching her body and wiping her eyes.

"Good morning Kyo," she said. Her lips curved up and formed her silly little smile. The sound of her voice filled me with warmth and made my body tingle with happiness.

"Good morning Tohru." I smiled back at her and remembered what just happened last night.

"About last night, I said that I loved you but I forgot one important question."

She looked up at me and tilted her head side wards to form a look of confusion. How she looks so cute and silly at the same time when she did that.

"What question is that Kyo?"

I took a deep breath and said, "Will you be my girlfriend Tohru?"

Her look of confusion turned into a look of happiness. She looked like a little girl in a candy shop, not knowing where to go first.

"I'd love to be your girlfriend Kyo!"

Those words filled me with life and I held out my hand for her to hold on to.

"Tohru, you don't know how much you make me happy."

I beamed at her and she stood up and grasped onto my hand. We watched the sunrise for a while and Tohru leaned against my shoulder and I leaned my head against hers.

"The sunrise is so beautiful!" Tohru said.

"Yeah, but you're much more beautiful than the sun."

I gazed down at her face and she turned a bright shade of red.

"Don't hide it," I said. "It's true."

She looked so cute when she blushed. I took her chin gently with my hand tilted her head up making her face me. I looked down at her and closed the gap between us with a kiss. She returned the kiss and we stayed like that for a couple of minutes. It was a long and passionate kiss and it seemed to have lasted forever. All of a sudden, there was a flash and I heard a voice behind us and turned to see Shigure's head peeping on the rooftop and his hand clutching on to a disposable camera. He was laughing hysterically and was practically shouting:

"You are so perverted Kyo and you call me perverted! Oh, I got to tell Ayame about this!"

But before he could even climb down, I dashed towards him and grabbed onto his kimono.

"You will do nothing of that sort you dumb dog. Now give me that damn camera!"

"Glad to see that you're yourself again Kyo!"

"Stop trying to change the damn subject!"
"Ah, please let go of my kimono before it rips! It cost me a lot of money!"

"Then hand over the camera!"

He handed it over with his hand and I released him from my grasp. At that moment I release him, he dashed out of sight and started to yell Yuki's name all over the house.

'That damn dog, I swear he is going to die!' I thought in my head. I turned around to see Tohru blushing like mad.

"I'm so sorry! It was my fault that he saw us!"

I place my hand on my shoulder and she stopped blabbing and looked up into my face.

"It wasn't you're fault Tohru, it was his fault for being such a pervert. Why don't we go down and make breakfast. We better get ready for school."

She nodded her head and took my hand.

"Kyo," she said. "Just to let you know that, that was my first kiss and I am very happy that I got to share it with you." A smile came upon her face and I tightened my grasp on her hand.

"That was my first kiss too Tohru and I too am glad that I got to share that moment with you."

And together, we started down the ladder and walked to the kitchen.

Tohru and I walked into the kitchen hand in hand. Yuki and Shigure looked up from the table. Shigure was laughing his heart out as Yuki was smiled at us and said, "I see you guys are a couple now. Congratulations Ms. Honda." Shigure was still laughing and he was really pissing me off. I let go of Tohru's hand and turned my hand into a fist. I pulled back my arm and swung it forward as hard as I can to Shigure's head. There was the sound of a thump as my hand connected with his head and Tohru started to freak out.

"Are you okay Shigure? Are you hurt? Where does it hurt?"

"Ah Kyo, I hope you don't treat Tohru the way you treat me!"

"Of course I wouldn't be mean to her! She's not perverted like you!"

"Well, I better start making breakfast then!"

"I'll help you Tohru," I offered.

"No, its okay Kyo you don't have too."

"Don't worry Tohru, I want to help you."

She smiled at me and we started to make breakfast. We made Crab Shumai and some Pork Gyoza. When we were done, we set it on the table and sat down to eat breakfast. I grabbed one of the Shumai with my chopsticks and looked at Tohru. She looked back at me and blushed.

"Open up Tohru," I said. She opened her mouth and I fed her a Shumai. I was laughing and we had a wonderful time and once again Shigure barged in and saw us and immediately ran out of the room, laughing like crazy.

'That damn dog really wants to die!' I thought in my head.

I continued eating my breakfast and when we were done, we washed the dishes and headed off to school together holding hands along the way.

When we arrived at school, everyone was staring at us, mainly all the girls. As we walked by the hallway, I heard some girls crying in despair that I was taken. I looked at Tohru who looked concerned.

"Hey don't worry about it, okay? They're not worth getting worried for." I released her hand and wrapped it around her waist, which made the girls even more angry and sad. Tohru's face turned a deep shade of red and I laughed at her reaction. When we arrived at class, Uo and Hana was there waiting.
"So you finally made a move orangey!" Uo said. "Do you know how much Tohru talks about you when you're not around? She sounds so happy when she talks about you!" I blushed and Uo continued with her sentence. Her tone changed and she to talk in a menacing way. "And if you make her sad or hurt her in any way," she paused and cracked her knuckles. "You will end up in an emergency room, got it?"

"Shut up!! Like I would do anything to harm her, I love her!"
I looked down at Tohru and saw the she was blushing and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Thank you so much Kyo… you make me so happy when you say that! And don't worry Uo; I know he won't let me get hurt." The bell rang and we walked into class. I stared back at Tohru the whole time. She was very concentrated and was taking intense notes. She's so hard working and she always cares about others and is always happy with what she has. She's never selfish and she makes me really happy. I guess she noticed that I was staring at her because she turned around and gave me a smile, at the same time she waved her hand at me. I waved back and returned the smile.

'I should take her somewhere,' I thought. 'Yeah that's what I'm going to do, take her to our first date.' That thought made me smile and went back to concentrating on my work. When class was over, I immediately went over to Tohru. We were like magnets, we could never be apart.

"Hey Tohru," I said. "Want to go somewhere after school?"
"Yes! I'd love to Kyo! Wow, our first date!" She grinned and I took her hand into mines, and together we walked to our next class. Laughing and talking along the way. It was a picture perfect moment.
