A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in forever but I'm back so please don't hurt me! Remember the word Carmel=sexy.
Carmen batted open her eyes open to find a pair of golden ones. She jumped almost 10 feet in the air in surprise.
Kyo chuckled, "Don't worry I don't bite."
Carmen then looked at the position they were in. Kyo lazily had an arm around her waist and the other in her hair while she just had her hands pressed his chest.
She blushed a dark red, "I-I um..."
Kyo blushed as well, "I would have moved but I didn't want to wake you."
Carmen stared at the red head and then smirked pushing her pointer finger into his chest, "Liar. You WANTED to hold me."
Kyo smiled, "Can you blame me? You are made out of Carmel."
She blushed again and laughed her head off.
Suddenly a voice pierced the almost perfect moment, "Ah I see you two are up."
The two bolted up and sat up on either side of the couch both their faces the shade of a ripe tomato.
Shigure smiled at the two, "So what were you two up to?"
Carmen waved her hand in the air as though waving the question aside, "Oh um we were just talking."
He questioned her like a small child to their parents, "About what?"
She looked to Kyo for an answer and then snapped her fingers, "Carmel. We were talking about Carmel."
"Why Carmel?"
Kyo answered this time, "I was just telling her how Carmel was my favorite desert."
Shigure shook his head, "Never mind I don't want to know. So how was last night?"
That question made the two of them blush all over again.
Yuki grumpily descended the staircase, "Why does everything sound so dirty when it comes from your mouth?"
Shigure stated, "Because that's all you 16 year old boys can think of. While I am mature!"
-High School Girls! High School Girls! High School Girls!
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Tohru came out and smiled, "Breakfast is ready!"
Shigure clapped his hands, "Excellent! Why don't we all eat out here and keep Carmen company?"
Tohru smiled, "That's a great idea! I'll be right back."
Tohru came back faster than the speed of lightning with all the food in tow. She passed out the most important meal of the day and settled in a chair across from Kyo and Carmen.
Carmen smiled, "Thank you Tohru."
She smiled, "I just hope everyone likes it."
She then asked going into worried mode, "Hows your ankle doing?"
Carmen shrugged, "Well it doesn't hurt. Let's check up on it."
She put her left leg up and rolled up the pants sleeve. Everyone gaped at the swollen purple monster that was Carmen's ankle. It was also filled with fluid. So when she pressed the skin it slowly refilled with liquid.
Shigure looked green.
Carmen exclaimed, "Oh that's not too bad."
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy. She blinked, "What? Trust me I've had worse... a lot worse."
No one dared to question her what could be worse than that. Everyone continued eating their breakfast in silence.
Suddenly the door slammed open and in came Momiji and Kisa with a boy who looked around Kyo's age with black and white hair.
Momiji ran up to her, calling, "Carmen!" He was about to hug her when Kyo stuck out his hand and stopped the 10 year old looking high schooler.
"Waa! Kyo! I just want to give Carmen a hug!" Whined Momiji.
Kyo growled, "Do you ever shut up!"
Kisa walked up to Carmen and gave her a hug, "Are you feeling better?"
Carmen was about to answer when Momiji cried, "Hey why does Kisa get to hug Carmen and I don't?"
Kyo huffed, "For 1 thing she isn't the opposite sex the 2nd thing is Carmen's injured and you can hurt her. So why don't you go hug Tohru or something?"
Momiji beamed, "OK!" he then lept into Tohru's arms and transformed into a rabbit.
Everyone shook their heads at Momiji's childness. Carmen averted her attention back to Kisa, "Yes Kisa I feel much better."
She smiled, "Great that makes me feel much better. Anyway this is my cousin Haru Sohma. He decided to tag along."
Haru nodded in greeting.
Carmen waved back keeping her mouth shut trying to avoid making a fool of herself as she usually did when she met new people.
Something then struck her. Kisa didn't know about Kyo and her's kiss. She glanced at Kyo. Holy crap she had kissed that smoking hot 16 year old. She was only 14 so this was quite an accomplishment. She had to tell Kisa, she didnt hide anything from her.
She would have to ask him later if she could tell her when there was either less people or an opportune moment.
Momiji still in animal form bounced into Carmen's lap, "Hey! I know you don't know me but I know EVERYTHING about you! Kisa has talked non-stop about you since day 1. Ounce I heard about you I knew I just HAD to meet you. I can't believe you got hurt though. What happened?
Everyone turned to Carmen. Tohru nodded, "You and Kyo were gone for quite a while... Almost 30 minutes yesterday."
Wait, thirty minutes? It seemed they were gone longer then she thought.
Kisa also voiced, "Why was Kyo so upset too?"
Now all eyes were upon the new, secret couple. Before Carmen could say anything Kyo explained emotionlessly, "Well what happened was When I saw Yuki return I felt my anger flood up inside of me again. I fled into the forest and it took a while for her to catch up with me."
Shigure cocked an eyebrow, "So nothing happened between you two, in the middle of the forest, alone, at sunset with only each other for warmth?"
Kyo jumped across the living room and while in midair kicked Shigure in the head, "Go to Hell you damn, dirty, pervert!"
He then returned to his seat by Carmen, arms folded and a purple aura around him saying, "Get the Hell outta my face."
Then Momiji transformed back into a human. He just stood there smiling at Carmen saying, "Do you want to play a game! I know we can play truth or dare or take a bath or play cards or-"
Kyo growled dangerously, "Get your damn clothes on..."
Carmen all the while shielding her eyes started shaking with laughter. Momiji beamed still in the nude as everyone else looked at Carmen with a puzzled expression.
She chuckled, "I think it's positively fantastic you love being a kid so much! I haven't done so since I was 7. I always pretended to be an adult but then I found out it was kind of scary and not much fun. By the time I realized that it was too late. I was already a boring mature person. It was until I made some really strange friends that I realized, its okay to not want to grow up and be different. In fact it makes all the difference. So enjoy it while you can!"
Everyone stared at her as she announced, "My eyes may be shut but I could cut the awkward silence in the air. What is it?"
Kiss muttered, "Well...Er-Carmen? Momiji is a year OLDER than us."
Carmen froze for a moment before throwing the covers over her head and stating, "Okay I think I'll just go ahead and die now..."
Everyone chuckled and Momiji reassured her, "Its okay. It's actually a common mistake. Besides all the things you said were really nice and I appreciate them."
He flashed a smile at the form cowering under the covers. Kyo growled ounce again,"Get dressed!"
