Hey everyone! Back with another chapter this morning ;) This takes place right after she falls asleep from the storm in the morning.
Tikari's eyes flickered opened and she blinked a few times to adjust to the light that filtered in through the window. Her room was empty once more and the clock beside her bed read 2:43pm. She yawned and noticed that she was in her bed with the covers over her all the way up to her neck. She wiped at her eyes to remove the sleep from them and sat up, letting the covers fall from around her chest. She realized then as the cool air met her where blankets had recently been resting, that she was naked. Her clothes were at the foot of her bed and she quickly got out of bed and got dressed. Once she was dressed, she relaxed. She sat back down on her bed with a sigh. She lay down and thought back to this morning. No one had ever been there for her like that, not in her entire life. She felt so happy and grateful. And Kyo, he was so warm and very comforting. The next time she saw him, she would hug him.
As if on cue, there was a knock at her door. Tikari sat upright and turned to look at the door. "Come in."
The door slid open to reveal none other than Kyo himself. He held a tray in his hands that contained food. He walked inside and closed the door with his foot before walking over and setting the tray beside her on the bed. He stood up and rubbed the back of his head. "I thought you were hungry so I brought you something."
Tikari took a quick glance at the tray beside her before standing up. She then threw her arms around Kyo in a big hug and hid her face in his shirt. It was warm, just like this morning. "Thank you…" Her voice was muffled by his shirt.
Kyo blinked in surprise a couple times. He hesitated a few moments before wrapping his own arms around her when she didn't let go. He rubbed her back slightly with his hand in a rhythmic motion. "…for being there for me." Tikari finished in a softer voice. Kyo didn't say anything. He didn't need to, the hug said it all. Tikari was grateful to him and Kyo was giving comfort once more. After a few moments, he released his grip on her and pushed her down into a sitting position on her bed. "Eat, or it'll get cold." His voice wasn't soft at all. His usual personality was kicking in again.
Tikari nodded and began to eat what was brought to her on the tray. Kyo watched her for a few seconds before turning and beginning to walk towards the door. Tikari stuffed a piece of crab meat (omg i love crab meat! :D) in her mouth and swallowed it whole. "Kyo, did you make this?"
Kyo stopped but didn't turn to her. "Yeah, I did."
Tikari smiled warmly. "It's delicious! Thank you, Kyo."
Kyo glanced over his shoulder at her but then slid open the door. "Yeah, well, it's gonna get cold if you don't eat it!" He told her a bit sternly. He then closed the door behind him as he left.
Tikari stared after him in surprise before giggling softly. Kyo could be such a softy when he wants to be. She finished eating her food and reached for the cup. She stopped when she picked it up. Kyo had given her a glass of milk. So Kyo wasn't selfish about the milk after all. She giggled once more before chugging it in a few gulps. She set the glass down on the tray and licked her lips where the milk left a mustache. She then picked the tray up and walked out of her room, using her foot to open and close doors.
When she was halfway down the stairs, her taking careful steps so she didn't fall, Shigure popped his head through a nearby door. "So…" He started, making the "o" longer than it should be. "I heard you had quite the scare this morning. Were you being stalked by a certain someone?~" He eyed the empty tray she held in her.
Tikari blew air out of her nose and scoffed, her voice becoming stern. "Shigure, stop your pervertedness and go do something worth your time for once." She walked passed him and left him to his dumbfoundedness. She walked into the kitchen and almost bumped into Kyo. "Oops, Sorry."
Kyo blinked at her before taking the tray from her and pushing her out of the kitchen. "Here, I'll take it."
Tikari blinked in surprise but didn't protest. She walked into the living room to find Tohru and Yuki sitting at the small table. They looked up from their conversation as she sat down beside Yuki.
"Oh good, you're awake." Yuki smiled at her.
"Are you feeling any better?" Tohru asked.
Tikari nodded her head. "Mhm!" She hummed. "And it's all thanks to you guys." She wrapped her arms around Yuki and hugged him, just like she had with Kyo.
Yuki blinked in surprise but then smiled as he returned the gesture. "That's good."
They let go just as Shigure entered the room. "So were you?"
Tikari huffed and crossed her arms. Kyo decided to walk in at that point in time. "What did I tell you? Stop your pervertedness and go do something worth your while." She repeated, her voice the same as the first time.
Everyone but Shigure stared at her in surprise. She normally didn't yell or tell people off like that. It wasn't in her nature. But Shigure was just pushing his luck today. It couldn't be helped.
Shigure looked hurt. "Tikari, why do you have to be so mean?" He made the end of his sentence longer than it should be as well.
"You brought it on yourself." Was Tikari's only reply. It was true. He did bring it on himself. He's the one who started it. He really shouldn't say anything unless he knows what actually happened.
After a few moments of silence, Yuki decided to change the subject. He turned to Tohru. "Miss Honda, you said you were going shopping, didn't you?"
"Uh-huh! In fact, I think I'll go right now." Tohru stood up.
Tikari stood up as well. "Ooh, can I go too?" Her mood brightened instantly.
"Of course!" Tohru smiled.
"Would you like to come?" Tikari offered, glancing around at everyone. She specifically avoided making eye contact with Shigure. Even though all he did was stay at the house all day anyway, she still didn't want him to come.
"I would love to, but I have to do some gardening today." Yuki told them, a bit sad that he couldn't go with them.
Tohru being Tohru, she answered quickly. "Oh, no, it's fine, really."
"What about you, Kyo?" Tikari asked, turning to the orange-haired boy. She caught a look of hurt from Shigure out of the corner of her eye, probably from not being asked to go. Kyo was about to protest and Tohru was going to insist that he didn't have to come, but Tikari insisted that he come along. She grabbed his arm and tugged it slightly. "Aww, come on, please?~"
Kyo stared down at her, because she was a bit shorter than his height, before huffing. "Oh, fine. I'll go."
Tikari smiled and pulled him outside along with Tohru. She let go as they walked down the path that led to town.
xD Shigure got what was coming to him!
Shigure: *pouts* She really can be mean sometimes.
Me: Well, you did get what you deserved. *shrugs half-heartedly*
