They all sat down for dinner and Dad asked, "Exactly how old are you?"

Kyo answered immediately, "I'm 16 and a second year at Fuji High School."

Her father muttered, "It's like my worst nightmare."

Carmen shot her father a glare and mouthed, "Be nice."

He simply said, "Baby girl would you mind refilling your old man's bowl of spaghetti?"

"Of course not." she replied.

As she refilled his bowl her father asked Kyo, "Now please tell me Kyo. What are you intentions with my daughter?"

Kyo blushed brighter than a tomato and Carmen was absolutely mortified, "Daddy!"

He put his hand up to silence her and he stared down the boy. She sighed and made her way back to the table and placed the bowl of spaghetti in front of him. He just continued to stare at Kyo.

Sweat trickled down Kyo's face. He opened his mouth to say something but closed it in search of words. He finally answered, "Well Mr. Vey I don't really know. I mean I really enjoy her company as as a friend. I don't know if I would want her as my girlfriend. I suppose maybe I would. I just don't know. All I know for sure is I care about her and wouldn't do anything to her if that's what you mean."

He blushed some more and wouldn't look at the two of them. Dad looked at him thoughtfully, "You pass."

"What?" asked Kyo a blush still dusted across his features.

He looked at him kindly, "You were honest with me. You admitted that there was a chance of you dating my daughter in the future but weren't sure at the moment. That took a lot of courage to tell a girls father that. So I accept you as her friend. Just remember she has a tazer and she's not afraid to use it."

Everyone finished their meals in silence contemplating everything that had been said.

Finally the meal was over. Her father smiled at her, "Carmel Cakes why don't you escort Kyo to the door while I clean up?"

She nodded and the two made their way out the door. As soon as she closed the door she freaked out, "Oh my god I am sorry. That was just crazy and embarrassing and I apologize. I can't believe he did that. You must not like me much now huh? Since you-"

"Hey it wasn't that bad. I've been in more awkward situations and for the other thing You shouldn't apologize for your father. He was just worried about his little girl. I'm sure I would be the same way if a strange boy showed up on my doorstep also. So just don't worry about it... Carmel Cakes" he burst out laughing.

She blushed and hit his arm, "Stupid cat!"

While laughing his ass of he replied, "At least I'm not a dessert!"

Not knowing what else to say she answered, "Yeah well didn't you know Carmel's the new sexy?"

He finally calmed down and exclaimed, "Well if that's the case I'm made of the stuff!" He supported his claim by flexing his muscles which were actually an impressive size.

He then added cocky, "Besides you admitted yourself."

She had admitted that he was fine the first time she met him.

She was still a little mad and without anything better to say shouted, "Screw you!"

He smirked knowing she couldn't come up with an excuse. He then thought out loud without realizing it, "She's pretty cute when she's mad."

Carmen blushed deep red and he turned around. He cursed, "Damn I said that out loud."

She then teased, "Not that I minded."

She could tell even with his back to her his face heated up even more.

He didn't turn around but softly whispered, "Bye Carmen."

Her face softened and she answered, "Bye Kyo."

He took off and Carmen silently watched him walk away. She then reluctantly returned inside but never knew that Kyo looked back for a last glance.

Kyo made his way through the forest to his home at the moment, Shigure's house. That girl wow she drove him crazy! Just when he thought he figured her out she just gets more complicated and he discovers a new side to her. At first he thought she was like Tohru and was just like her but she was a totally different person. She also just didn't make sense. At first she is a nice goody-two shoes girl and the next she's cussing like a sailor. Or another time she will be sweet and innocent girl the next a seductive woman. She was 14 for god's sake! How complicated could she be? But things are always a lot more complicated then they look.

He silently snuck into the house hoping that nobody would notice him and he could escape to his room escaping any questioning about where he's been.

Of course luck wasn't with him as usual and everyone was gathered in the front room.

Everyone's attention turned to him. Shigure spoke, "Ah our star-crossed lover has returned to us. Please tell us what you were doing to that innocent child."

Kyo blushed and kicked the stupid dog in the face, "Shut up! I'm not in love with her! All I did was walk her home like YOU asked and stayed over for dinner. That's all that happened you disgusting pervert."

Tohru asked, "So you met her father! What happened!"

He blushed, "He invited me in for dinner and then we discussed Carmen and my err... Intentions with her." He reluctantly admitted not wanting to lie to her.

Shigure burst out laughing and tears streamed down his face.

Kyo growled, "It's not funny!"

Yuki asked coldly, "Not that I care but what did you tell her father?"

Kyo scoffed, "Like I would tell you damn rat! Besides you don't care about Carmen or me anyway so why even bother?"

He then stormed up the stairs to his room where he climbed out the window and sprawled himself out on the cool roof. The moon illuminates his face as he closed his eyes in thought.
