I whispered "I'm glad you decided to come with us, Kyo

I whispered "I'm glad you decided to come with us, Kyo. I can't help but say that I'm scared." He turned his head towards me "Scared of what?" he asked. I shrugged and shook my head. I didn't want him to know I was afraid of a repeat of a past joke, I just hope I will be prepared for that.

"Cass are you in there?" he asked tapping my shoulder. I jumped and nodded "Yeah. Sorry I was just lost in thought." I said. He eyed me "So what are you afraid of?" "Nothing. You know, I don't even know why I said it." I replied. He looked at me unsure but let it drop.

When we all woke up it was night time in New York. We got our bags and got in the rental car and drove to the Lake. We reached our destination an hour later. Mom let us rent our own little lakeside house near their own. It was a one story house with 2 bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms and the normal rooms.

Cindy and I went to our room and Kyo went to find his own. Our room had bunk-beds "I call the top!" said Cindy after unpacking into one of the dressers. I shrugged "Fine but why did you unpack? We're only here for 3 days. Our plane leaves the 3rd night." I said. "I don't know I guess it slipped my mind." She said getting on the top bunk.

"Okay then I'm going to find us something to eat." I said heading through to the kitchen. I found Kyo in his room, which was very nice. It had a nice queen bed instead of the crappy bunk-beds. "How did you end up with the nice bed? I was supposed to get that while you and Cindy bunked." I wined playfully as I sat down. He laughed and sat down with me "Well you could find an excuse to sleep in here." He said.

I laughed and laid on my back. "I've got to try to sleep the rest of tonight so I can meet everyone in the morning." I said. Kyo leaned over me "I think Cindy's not going to have a problem with that." In the other room I didn't hear anything so he was right.

I sat with him on the bed getting ready to watch a movie when I told him I'd be back. I walked out of the room and into the room where my stuff was and grabbed my bag. I rummaged through it till I found a long sleeve shirt and pants to put on. After I changed I went back to watch the movie. When I walked in the room something was thrown at me.

I looked down and found pop-corn. I turned my head towards Kyo and he smirked when I ran and jumped on the bed, tackling him down. I grabbed a bunch of pop-corn and threw it at his face. "Okay, now that's cheating." he said. I sat up right at the edge of the bed as he sat up. "I'm not really in the mood for a movie right now." I said grabbing a piece of popcorn.

"Really? Then what are you in the mood for?" he asked raising an eyebrow. I shrugged and threw a pillow at him, causing him to fall of the bed backwards. I laughed as he moaned on the floor. I looked over the bed "Kyo? Are you alright?" I asked. He didn't answer.

I reached my hand over to his knee to touch him when he opened his eyes and grabbed my hand causing me to fall on top of him. Before I could move off him, he wrapped his legs around mine so I had to stay where I was. I whispered in his ear after a moment "You know if Cindy walked in, this might look bad." "Let it look bad." He whispered back.

He moved his foot towards the open door and shut it then replaced it back to its original position. I wiggled a little bit more but he only tightened his grip so I gave up and laid my head on his chest. He chuckled "You finally give up huh?" I nodded and sighed in defeat.

He kissed the top of my head "You know, you're beautiful Cass." He breathed in my ear. I shook my head violently into his shirt. "Stop lying." I said. He flipped us so that he was on top of me now. "Do you trust me?" I nodded, "Then trust me when I say you're beautiful." He said. He waited for a moment for me to answer him.

When I still didn't answer him he kissed the tip of my nose. I huffed and said "Thanks Kyo." For my reward for answering he kissed me fully on the lips. "That's my girl." He smiled. I returned the smile and fed him a piece of popcorn. I looked at the clock and saw that it was midnight.

"Kyo it's time to go to bed. We have a party to go to tomorrow." I said trying to get up. "Just a bit longer Cass." he groaned. "Fine, but only 5 minutes." I said. He grinned and got off me. I sat up and leaned on his arm. My arm snuck behind him and touched behind his ear. I smiled when I heard him purr. "Cass you're pushing it." He warned as I ran my hand down his arm and over his back.

He was still purring as I got to his side and he grabbed my hand. He looked at me and smirked "My turn." My eyes widened a little. I jumped up but didn't make it far. I was now against the wall with my arms pinned above my head by one of his. His lips found my neck in a second. I gasp and felt him smirk as his free hand traveled to my back.

"Ahem." Cindy said from the doorway. He broke away quickly and Cindy grinned. "Momiji woke me up and I thought 'Where in the world could Bubbles be?' Then I realized she must have stopped to say night to Kyo and will you look at that, I'm right." She said. I laughed and Kyo looked at me "Yeah I left you about 3 minutes ago Ding-dong. Well night Kyo." I said walking out the door with Cindy in front of me.

Before I shut the door I mouthed 'I win.' to Kyo and he smirked and mouthed 'We'll see. I'll get you next time.' I shook my head and walked in my room and went to sleep.

I was the first one to wake up, so I made breakfast with the little bit of food we had then went to wake everyone up. I tried to wake Cindy but with no success. I found her phone and saw that last call was 4 hours long so I let her sleep.

Kyo was still asleep also so I looked at the time, 6:30. Good I had time to take a shower. Hopefully he wouldn't wake with it running since it is in his room. I turned the water on and grabbed shampoo from my room. I returned and got in.

When I got out I wrapped in a large towel and peeked out at the clock, which read 7:00 then I looked at Kyo who still appeared to be sleeping. I tip-toed out when he opened his eyes. "Nice towel." He said sitting up. I blushed and turned my back to him. He chuckled under his breath and got up.

I'll admit that I was nervous now. I felt his breath on the back of my neck and his arms encircle my waist. "Morning Kyo. Breakfast is done." I said. He kissed my cheek "I'll be there in a minute I'm gunna take a shower too." He said then walked into the bathroom. I took a deep breath and ran to my room to get dressed. I put on my cream color turtle neck sweater and dark blue jeans and to top it off I fixed Kyo's necklace around the collar.

Kyo came out with his black long sleeve shirt and grey cargo pants. I sat at the table and he joined me with his plate. "Sorry about earlier." He said. I looked at him "What do you mean?" I asked. "I freaked you out." "Oh yeah you did but I trust you so don't worry about it." I said. "You should wear the towel more often." I smacked him in the arm. A moment passed "Hey umm where is Cindy?"

"Ohmigosh! I forgot to wake her." I ran to our room and found her getting dressed. "We got to go Cass I ate already while you were in the shower." She said. I looked at the clock and ran back to grab my purse with Cindy right behind me. Kyo just finished eating as I grabbed his arm and pulled him out the door.

Snow was still on the banks of the lake as we pulled in my aunt's drive. I made Kyo sit in the back seat so it would be a surprise. We worked on his English and it's really good. Me and Cindy got out and were greeted by hugs. My aunt Nan greeted us. "Oh I'm so glad you could make it." She said. She saw my necklace "That's beautiful where did you get it?" she asked.

"Nan um I brought someone else with us for a birthday present." I said. She looked at me "Well bring her inside." "She is actually a he." I motioned for Kyo to get out of the car. He got out and walked to my side. "This is Kyo. He ended up being one of my best friends in Japan first. He gave it to me for Christmas." I said as Kyo waved. Nan hugged him and brought us all inside where everyone was getting things done.

"Anything I can help with?" I said. Everyone crowded us all with questions and soon everything was done and Kyo was a big hit. The party was going on outside. It wasn't to cold so me and Kyo bundled up on the hammock while they roasted marsh-mellows. My little cousin bound over to us "Cassy will you play hide-n-seek with me?" she asked sweetly.

"Sure." I said and she dragged me off the hammock. Kyo watched as I found Karly and chased her down. I caught her and swung her in the air. Cindy threw a snowball right at me and Karly. I gathered snow and threw one right at Kyo. It hit his shoulder.

He smirked and threw one back but it hit me in the head. "Sorry." He yelled running over to me. I bent down to the ground and pretended to cry. I gathered a bunch of snow and shoved it in his face. "It's okay we're even." I said. Avery waddled over and hugged my leg.
