The next morning, Tohru woke up. She recalled the events of the previous night.

Start Flashback:

Hiro drove her and Kyo home. He stopped the car right in front of Shigure's house. Kyo got out first and helped her out. She purposely gave him her right hand. He smiled when he took it.

Hiro got out too. He went over to Kyo and stuck out his hand. Kyo placed some money in his hand. Hiro waved a slight wave and got back into the car. He drove off.

Kyo lead her back inside. Shigure wasn't here yet; so neither was Akito or the kids. Kyo took her hand and lead her upstairs.

He stopped outside of her door. He gave her a kiss. It was a long and loving kiss.

"I love you." Kyo said when they pulled away.

"I love you too, Kyo", Tohru whispered.

"Goodnight." Kyo said.

"Goodnight, Kyo." Tohru said. He turned to go to his room and she turned into hers.

She closed the door. She changed out of her dress. She hung it back up in her closet. She then grabbed her pajamas. It was a new set that Arisa had given her. It was a pink tank top with three hearts, a big one in the middle and a small one on each side of the big one. It had the options of plain pink shorts or long pants with a similar pattern.

She took the shorts and climbed into bed.

She was about to fall asleep when someone knocked on her door.

"Yes?" She asked. The door creaked open and Kyo stood in the doorway.

She bolted up.

"Tohru?" He asked.

"Kyo? What's wrong?" She asked.

"I…um…wanted to ask you something. Can I come in?"

"Sure." Tohru said. She swung her legs over the side of her bed so that she was in a sitting position.

Kyo walked in. He headed straight over to her and sat on the ground next to her bed.

"I wanted to ask you something. But now, I think it's stupid." He said.

"Nothing you say is stupid. What do you want to ask me?"

"I was thinking. Even before we became sorta engaged. This…well, I think it's best for everyone. I sorta like the arrangement too…um, well…"

"What is it Kyo?" Tohru asked. She knew this was making him uncomfortable. He was blushing, she could see that.

"You know I'm not very good with this kind of thing. So, I'm just going to come out and say it. I'm getting my own place and I think…I think… I think you should move in with me." Kyo stopped, not knowing what she would think of that.

"I would love to, Kyo." Tohru said hesitantly.

"You would? That's great! I mean, um, that's what I was hoping for."

"Have you found the place yet?" Tohru asked.

"Actually, yeah. I have. I already own it and everything. It's right next to Shishou's dojo. He actually helped me find it." Kyo said.

"What does it look like?" Tohru asked.

"Oh, it's pretty much empty now. Shishou was going to hook me up with some of the furniture he's got in his attic. It's just the right size. It's got a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom in the hall, an office, a small den, then it's got a basement, an upstairs with three bedrooms, one is the master bedroom and it's got a master bath, then the two other rooms share a bathroom, there's also a small room upstairs that could be used as either an office or a guest room, another bathroom, and an attic." Kyo said. He'd grabbed a notebook off Tohru's desk and was mapping out the house.

"It sounds big." Tohru said.

"Not once you see it. This house is bigger than it. You'll like it, trust me." Kyo said.

"I trust you. I just think it's a little much." Tohru said.

"Well, go ahead and think that. But once you see the house, you'll love it. I did."

"Okay." Tohru said. Kyo stood up. And leaned over her. He gave her a long kiss.

"Just wait till you see it." He said.

"When can I see it?" Tohru asked.

"Tomorrow. ASAP." Kyo said.

"Okay. Goodnight, Kyo." She said as he headed out the door.

"Goodnight Tohru." He said. He closed the door and went back to his room.

End Flashback

Kyo had asked Tohru to move in with him. He'd already gotten a house and was arranging to get furniture.

Tohru changed into a sundress and went out into the hall.

Nobody was up yet. The house was still dark and quiet. She went downstairs and started making breakfast.

She was making pancakes when Kyo came in. He was quiet so she wouldn't hear him. He waited until she started her humming to walk over to her.

She was humming a song when he walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. She spun around and he kissed her. She kissed him back and then pulled away.

"Good morning." She said.

"Good morning." He repeated."Do you want breakfast?" She asked. "Yeah, but not here." He said with a smile. "Why not? What's wrong with eating here?" She asked. "I want to eat somewhere else. I still want you to cook, if that's okay." He said. "Sure. When are we leaving?" "Now." He said. "Wait. I have to leave Shigure and Akito a note first." Tohru said. "Fine. Hurry up though." He said. He gave her another kiss and then went to wait in the living room. Tohru took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote a note for Shigure and Akito.

Dear Shigure and Akito,

I have gone out with Kyo to run errands. I'll be back later. Breakfast is ready whenever you want it. There is plenty of food to heat up for lunch if we aren't back by then.

Tohru

That should do it. Tohru thought as she placed the note on the kitchen table.

Then she went into the living room. Kyo was sitting on the couch waiting for her.

"Hey. Ready to go?" Kyo asked standing up to meet her.

"Yeah. How far is it?" Tohru asked.

"Not far. A little closer than Shishou's." Kyo said.

"Okay." Tohru took his hand and he led her out the door.

They walked to the house. It was beautiful. It was done in stone and had a huge window in the front. It had a couple windows at the top for the rooms upstairs.

"Do you like it?" Kyo asked.

"Wow, it's beautiful. I love it a lot Kyo."

"Good. Come on inside. I want to show it to you." Kyo said. He took her up to the front porch.

"It's even better up close." Tohru said.

"I know I'm not supposed to do this yet, but I feel like I have too." Kyo said. He picked Tohru up bridal style and carried her across the thresh hold.

Tohru laughed when Kyo brought her inside.

"I guess Shishou was already here." Kyo said looking around. The house had furniture in it. Kyo put Tohru down in the living room.

"Shishou has good taste." Tohru said as she placed a hand on the plain white sofa. Other items were also in the room. Such as a light blue straight back chair, a white recliner, and a blue loveseat. The whole room was blue and white.

"As long as you like it. I want you to see the kitchen. Come on. It's this way Tohru." Kyo said. He pushed passed a swinging door. The kitchen was on the other side.

"Wow. It's huge." Tohru said looking around the kitchen.

"If you want, we could change the theme." Kyo said. The kitchen was done in yellow with snapdragon flowers.

"Oh, no. It's beautiful." Tohru went over and placed a hand on the counter top by the sink.

"There's still more to see." Kyo said.

"Okay." Tohru said with a smile.

Kyo showed her the rest of downstairs. The office, the den, and the bathroom downstairs each had their own little theme.

"I think it's perfect, Kyo." Tohru said.

"You haven't seen the upstairs yet." Kyo said.

Kyo took Tohru upstairs.

"Here's the bathroom in the hall." He said opening the door.

"It's perfect." Tohru said.

"That's what you've said about everything." Kyo laughed.

"Well, it's true." Tohru said.

"Come on." Kyo led Tohru to the other three rooms. The two that shared a bathroom had a common theme. The small room was done in an old fashioned style.

"Shishou didn't put anything in here." Tohru said when she looked at the small room.

"Didn't know what you wanted to use it for. An office or a guest room." Kyo said.

"Well, I don't know. I've always wanted to try and paint. Could we make it an art studio?" Tohru asked.

"Art? If that's what you want." Kyo said. He closed the door.

"Yes, art. I want to try it." Tohru said. Kyo smiled.

"Alright. We'll get some art supplies. Now, I want to show you the master bedroom. It's this way." Kyo said heading down the hall.

The master bedroom was the last room at the end of the hall.

"It's so far back." Tohru said.

"That's because it's so big." Kyo said. He opened the door and ushered Tohru inside.

"Wow." Was all she could say.

"Nice huh? I did all this. Well, I can't say that. Haru helped me pick out some of this junk." Kyo said.

The room was done in a sky blue and snow-white theme. The bed was blue and white, white frame with blue sheets. The carpet was blue, the curtains white, and the wall white with blue trim.

"It's great." Tohru said.

"Wait till you see the bathroom." Kyo said. He walked over to another door. It was by a huge walk in closet.

He pushed open the door.

"I'm starting to think this was a little much", Tohru said. She was looking at the huge linen closet in the bathroom, the separate tub and shower. The tub, not to mention, had those spa jets. The blue and yellow tile, which was the color the room was done in. The his and her sinks, the mirrors, the light fixtures, everything.

"Hardly. The Sohmas' are wealthy, remember? This house pretty much came like this. Minus the sinks, the lights, etcetera. Those, I bought with the help of Shishou." Kyo said.

"It just seems like too much." Tohru said.

"Well, no offence, but you used to live in a tent. I'm sure an apartment would seem like too much for you."

"It probably would." Tohru admitted.

"See, for me, this is just right. Even though I wasn't part of the Zodiac, Shishou was still paid for taking care of me. And have you seen his house? That's a little much, but for him, it's perfect. I grew up in that house, minus the trip to the mountains. I could actually get a bigger house, and be okay."

"I'm not complaining. I'd love to live in a house like this. " Tohru said.

"Good thing you're moving in then, huh?" Kyo asked with a smile.

"I guess." Tohru said. Kyo leaned over to her and gave her a long lingering kiss. She kissed him back.

"Now, what about breakfast?" Kyo asked.

"Oh, right. What's here?" Tohru asked.

"I don't know. Go check your kitchen." Kyo said with a smile.

"My kitchen. I like the sound of that." Tohru said.

"I thought you would." Kyo laughed. They headed downstairs and into the kitchen.

Tohru opened the refrigerator door.

"Um, do you want fish or fish?" Tohru asked.

"Man. Shishou knows me too well." Kyo said.

"I could run out to the store if you want something else." Tohru said.

"Nah. Fish is just fine." Kyo said.

"Salmon?" Tohru asked.

"Sure." Tohru started the fish, and then went over to sit at the kitchen table with Kyo.

"The house is beautiful, Kyo. I really like it." Tohru said.

"I'm glad. I was hoping you'd like it. I'd sorta bought it with you in mind, even though I hadn't asked you to move in yet." Kyo said, a blush creeping across his face.

"Well, it works. I just love my kitchen." Tohru said.

"I have to admit, I could get used to you cooking in it." Kyo said.

"Have you told Shigure and Akito about this yet?" Tohru asked.

"He knew I was thinking about moving out. He doesn't know I bought a place or asked you to move in with me." Kyo said.

"We have to tell him sometime." Tohru said.

"Why? I'm sure he could figure it out on his own."

"Yeah but I wouldn't feel right. I can't imagine waking up and saying 'We're leaving, Shigure. Have fun making new arrangements for a house keeper and a babysitter'." Tohru said.

"I doubt you'll say it like that." Kyo said.

"I don't think I will either, but that's basically what's going to happen." Tohru said.

"You don't have to stop baby sitting if you don't want to. I just don't think it's right to be cleaning a house you no longer live in." Kyo said.

"But I can't just leave Shigure to do it on his own. You know he won't. I've been living there for more than five years now." Tohru said.

"Yeah, but now your living here." Kyo said.

"Not yet, I'm not. I still have my stuff at Shigure's." Tohru said.

"So what? We'll get it later today." Kyo said.

"Okay." Tohru said. She stood up to check the fish. It was done, so she took it out and served it.

"Yeah. I could get used to this." Kyo said. Tohru smiled.

They ate their meal. Tohru cleaned the dishes and then put them away.

"Are we going to Shigure's to tell him and get your stuff?" Kyo asked her when she was putting the last dish in the cupboard.

"Uh, I guess. Do you realize, this will be the fourth time I've moved?" Tohru asked.

"Well, hopefully it'll be the last." Kyo said. He bent down to give a kiss full of love.
