CHAPTER 3
Tohru walked over to the table. Kyo stood up with wide eyes and pulled her chair out for her. "Wow, um….you look…really pretty, Tohru," Kyo stuttered. Tohru blushed and said thank you. They spent the evening chatting over random things. Martial arts, school, when they were graduating. "Have you ever thought about what you want to do after school?" Tohru asked. "How the hell am I supposed to know?" Kyo steamed. "OH! I'm sorry! I wasn't…." Tohru searched for words. "No, I mean, sometimes I think that I want a small house, and a family," Kyo said. Tohru was thrown. "Yea, I want……that too." Kyo looked into her eyes and she melted. They talked about trivial things for the remainder of the dinner. Afterward, Kyo decided to take Tohru to a movie. Neither one of them was really paying attention to the movie. Kyo reached out and took Tohru's hand. She blushed and looked down, but didn't object.
When the movie ended, Kyo and Tohru took a walk down one of the streets. Kyo held Tohru's hand and they talked and laughed. Tohru tripped over a loose piece of ground and had to catch herself on a stop-sign. She laughed and spun around on the pole. When she stopped spinning, she found herself face to face with Kyo. She was still laughing when he kissed her. Fiercely at first, then softer as she went with it. They were fused together; entirely one person. They both knew that they loved each other.
Everyone was in bed by the time they got home. They were creeping upstairs when Kyo pushed Tohru inside a spare closet and kissed her roughly. She laughed and kissed him back. They stared into each other's eyes, chocolate and ruby. "I love you," Tohru sighed and leaned her head against his chest. He kissed her head. "You can't say you love me after our first date," Kyo chuckled. "But if it helps, I love you too." Tohru sighed and for just a moment, lived in total bliss.
