Chapter 8

Kyo POV

We got home and Yuki called Hari on his worklne. Shige was sitting under the heater working on his book. "You really shouldn't bother him." He said not loking away from his paper.

"No choice." Yuki said. Tohru sat down under the hearter. I layed down rubbing my neck and making sure Shige didn't see it. Haru staggered in and collapsed. When Yuki got off the phone he helped Haru under the heater resting his head on Yuki's lap.

"Kyo you should get under theheater too. It's supposed to start snowing any minute now." Shige said. I didn't move I could already see the white fluffy snow flakes falling onto the garden. Tohru came over and sat behind me. She layed a hand on my forehead and the other against her own.

"You have a slight fever." She said. I sat up and then stood.

"I'm going to my room. Call for me when Hari gets home." I said leaving the room. I layed down on my floor infront of my open door to the garden. I heard my hall door open and footsteps across the floor when it slid closed again. I rolled onto my back my head landing on Tohru's lap. She layed a cloth on my forehead. I grabbed one of her hands and layed it against my cheek.

"You're really warm Kyo." She said a bit nervous. I closed my eyes.

"I feel fine for almost being strangled to death." I said. I opened my eyes and saw tears forming in hers. I reached up and layed my hand against her cheek. She closed her eyes and started to cry.

"Kyo don't say that. Please don't joke about this. I… I don't know what I'd do if he hadsn't stopped and… and you… you…" she couldn't finish she was crying so hard. I sat up and sat facing her. I pulled her towards me and in between mu legs. She cried against my chest.

"I'm sorry." I said softly. She looked up at me her eyes still a little wet. "I wasn't…" I lowered down a bit. Her lips looked so soff, so pink. "I wasn't thinking." I was only an inch away. Our breath was mingling. Just as we got closer there was a knock on my door.

"Kyo, Tohru, Hari is home." Shige said from the other side.

"We had better go." I said standing. I took hold of her hands and pulled her up. She layed her head against my chest. "Tohru I…"

"Don't. not until you are truly ready." She said looking up at me. She smiled her heavenly smile and I smiled back.

"Ok." I said lightly kissing her forehead.
