CHAPTER 4

Tohru lay in her bed, thinking over what she had gone through that night. She blushed just thinking about the way Kyo had kissed her. He wasn't always angry. On the contrary, he was a sweet, caring, kind person; not at all the kind of person everyone else thought he was. "I wonder what he's thinking right now."

Kyo loved her. The girl who had annoyed him so much when she first got here. The girl who sympathized for the cat. Who needed a girl like that? "I do."

Tohru made breakfast, just the same as she always did. everyone was sitting, eating, when Shigure piped up, "And where were you two out so late into the night? Kyo, you can't imagine coming home to find the house empty! Yuki was at a student-council meeting, and you were gone! If it were just you two, I wouldn't be so worried, but when my sweet flower, Tohru wasn't here, I had to assume…" Kyo cut him off. "Shup up ya' damn dog! What do you know?" and with that, Kyo stormed off, leaving the rest of them with blank minds.

At school that day, Uo and Hana ran up to her. "So how'd it go?" Uo panted. "Yes, tell us all about it Tohru," Hana agreed. Tohru blushed. "Oh, it was fine." "Fine?" Uo asked. "That's it?" Yea," said Tohru. "He was really nice." "Alright," Hana unwillingly said.

At the end of the day, Tohru was coming out of her last class. Kyo was waiting for her. "I'll walk you home, if ya want." Tohru blushed. "O….ok." They walked home together, talking about school. "Yea, so….I was think about last night…" Kyo started. "And I just wanted to say that, uh…. it was....really nice, and we should do it again." He looked away. " Of course Kyo! I had a really good time." Tohru blushed and looked at her feet. They were almost home, and Tohru didn't notice when Kyo stopped walking. She did notice, however, when he pulled her chin up and kissed her. She kissed him back, conveying all the love she had for him in that one long kiss.

Tohru loved Kyo with her whole heart, just as he loved her. For the next half of the year, they were always together. And when they weren't, they longed for each other. Whenever apart, Kayo and Tohru would fall into black depression. "Don't you think you're getting a little....oh I don't know, attached?" Hana asked one day. "Yea," started Uo, "I mean, who really wants to spend every minute of every damn day with carrot-head?" "I do," Tohru muttered. "But I hope I'm not bothering you! I really couldn't live with myself if I was annoying my two best friends!" Hana and Uo sighed. "No, you're not bothering us."

Graduation was a week away; Tohru and all her friends were all excited. "Are you doing anything for graduation, Tohru?" Shigure asked. "Um..... I think Kyo and I are going to dinner afterward." "It's nice to Kyo's finally happy. Of couse Tohru, I think you could make anyone happy, if you know what i..." Shigure was interrupted as Yuki hit him on the head with a rolling pin. "Don't mind him, Miss Honda. He's just a stupid dog." "Is that supposed to offend me?" Shigure said. Yuki sighed. Kyo suddenly threw open the door. "Hey Tohru!" He ran over to her a kissed her. Tohru had turned red. "Hello, Kyo." "Ah, isin't that cute! Budding romance! This is just like my book!" Kyo kicked Shigure hard in the shin before turning back around to kiss Tohru again. Yuki sighed and walked out the door. "Damn Yuki's jealous," Kyo chuckled.
