A/N: I am back! Sorry I didn't get to update yesterday but to make up for it I wrote not 1, not 2, but 3 chapters! These are dedicated to my new reviewer Miss Isabella Hitachiin and my lovely old reviewer Forget the Moon-Ignore the Sky. I couldn't do it without you two. Oh and please tell me if you like the way I describe the kissing and stuff. 'Kay? Also yes I know Kyo is totally OOC in the next few chapters but I've been trying my best. And remember he is a man in love.

Disclaimer: If I owned Fruits Basket Carmen would obviously be a character. Duh. : P

Tohru blushed as everyone stared with great attention. She stuttered, "Well Er. E-E-Everyone in this room, I love you all."

She then continued, "Kisa truth or dare?"

Kisa answered, "Truth!"

Tohru asked, "Are people still teasing you?"

Kiss shook her head, "No. Carmen has made SURE of that. Remember that one guy just recently?"

Carmen asked, "You mean Sazuki?"

She nodded. Carmen laughed, "Yeah that was pretty awesome. So Sazuki is this really stupid kid in our class and just walked up to Kisa and told her she was a freak. I was on the floor above them at the time. After listening in through the vent I shouted down, "Kenji Sazuki! You have angered the God of Protection. You life is forfeit unless you run around the school campus 50 times in your underwear." He actually then screamed and undressed and began running the laps. So he got suspended and a bullying slip."

Kisa shook her head, "Where did you get the inspiration for that one?"

Carmen laid back with her hands behind her head, "I'm just that talented."

Everyone laughed; so far this was going pretty well.

Soon there was a knock on the door. Shigure opened it and Carmen gasped, "Daddy!"

In the door way stood Mr. Vey a 6'2" auburn haired, 41 year old. At the moment he was wearing his scrubs and looked very worried.

He yelled all in one breathe, "Carmen Renee Vey you had me so worried! I would have come sooner but I had to get ready for work as usual. I can't believe this happened. Haven't you had enough accidents in your life? Do you feel alright baby girl?"

Without being invited in he made his way to Carmen and Kyo politely gave up his seat. Dad quickly snapped at him, "I see you were having no problem getting comfortable with my daughter."

Carmen shot her father a warning look. He muttered, "Sorry I've just been worried."

Kyo gave a nod. Dad sat down and placed her leg on his lap. He then examined her ankle. It was still purple and swollen. "That's not to bad but it's definitely inflated. Would someone please get me some ice?"

Tohru got right on it and quickly returned with ice. Her father applied it which made Carmen wince. Her father smiled and teased, "Oh come on it's not that bad. Remember that time you stepped on that rusty nail. I had to pull it out in the middle of the parking lot. We then took you home and bandaged you up."

Dad traced the scar as he recited the story. She smiled, "Yeah. I had to use those crutches for 4 weeks. It sucked."

Dad then looked around, "So Kisa, Kyo, this is your beautiful family?"

Shigure nodded, "Yep we are those darned relatives. My name's Shigure and this is my house where everyone drops by and destroys."

Dad laughed, "Don't I know the feeling... It's nice to have some peace but still sometimes I miss the old folks. I especially worry about Carmen not seeing her grandparents, and cousins."

Carmen sighed, she hated when Dad started talking as though she wasn't even there.

She asked, "So what are you doing here Dad? Deducting the obvious reason."

He said as though it was perfectly obvious, "Why to pick you up and bring you home. I mean it's not like I'm going to leave you here all alone. I only left you here last night because Dr. Sohma insisted you needed your rest."

"Oh..." I blinked. This sucked. I was really liking getting to spend so much time with these guys, especially Kyo.

"I'll help you, sir," voiced Kyo. He restated, "I'll carry her for you."

Her dad asked, "You think I can't carry my daughter home?"

Kyo shook his head, "It's not that you can't it would just be better if you didn't use all your energy to carry her. Especially since you probably have to go to work soon, correct?"

Her father checked his watch, "Oh shoot your right. Thank you. Take care of her, alright?"

Kyo nodded solemnly, "I promise..."

Dad kissed her forehead, "See you later, Carmel Cakes." He then ran out the door.

Kyo then picked up Carmen bridal style; "I guess I should get you home."

She nodded and waved, "Bye everybody. It was lovely meeting you Haru. Hopefully I'll see you all again soon."

The two the made their way out of the room, they or well Kyo, walked on in silence until Carmen asked, "So Kyo? Are we like a couple now?"

Kyo tightened his grip of her, "If you want to be..."

She rephrased her question, "Do you mind me telling certain people?"

Kyo answered, "If you mean you want to tell Kisa it's perfectly fine with me but I don't know if we should tell anyone else. At least for now, okay?"

She smiled, "Fine by me."

When they reached her house Carmen instructed, "There's a key under the mat."

Kyo reached for the key and the unlocked the door. He proceeded to lock it behind him and then asked, "Which way is your bedroom?"

She replied, "Take a left and the second door on the right."

The couple was there in no time. He laid her on her bed. Carmen blushed and stuttered, "W-Why don't you stay for a while?"

He sat down on the bed and leaned in placing a hand on her cheek, "If you want me to..."

She breathed, "Yes please."

They then began their second kiss that was less shy and more hungry and filled with passion. Their fingers were tied into each other's hair and tugging.

After a minute or two of this they took a breath before continuing their first make-out session.
