Chapter 3 Kyo POV
I didn't sleep for long before I felt a blanket layed on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and saw Hari. "What time is it?" I asked not moving knowing full well that Tohru was my pillow, but she was so warm.
"It's about 6." he said sitting down next to us under the heater with a cup of coffee. He saw Tohru's eyes open slightly and smiled. "I have to go into work early today. How is school going?"
"It's going good. A lot better than high school." I said knowing I was giving him a slight smile.
"And your love life?" he asked oh so casually.
"You know full well." I growled.
"Really to me right now it looks really good." Hari said acting innocently curious.
"I fell asleep while helping her edit. I was behind her and fell forward." I said defensively.
"But you haven't moved." he pointed out. I stood up and layed the blanket on her shoulders.
"There happy?" I growled.
"I didn't mean to make you angry." he said calmly.
"Hari." I said. "I love her. But there is no way to tell her. I can't give her anything." I could feel myself relaxing. I looked at my sleeping angel.
"You can give her you." he said plying counselor.
"That isn't much. The curse may be broken and the cat may be part of the zodiac. But most people still don't except that. I'm still the 'Stupid Cat' to everyone." I said getting up to leave.
"Did she ever think like that?" Hari asked as I reached for the door. "Did she ever call you stupid? Did she ever hate you for being the cat? No. she loves the cat, not the animal or year, but the person possessed by the vengeful spirit of the cat." I turned to llok at him then at Tohru.
"I'm not much of a man am I Hari?" I asked softly.
"All men are different. You are a man. You just don't know how to open your heart." he said drinking his coffee. "I hope one day you can open your heart to her. She cares deeply for you and you know that. Find your courage Kyo Sohma. All will work out." I studied him then turned and left.
