Chapter 4: Date

Kyo held Tohru tightly, but not enough to hurt her, in his arms. Her back lay agaisnt his chest, they sat just listening to the sound of the stream. He breathed deeply, taking in the wonderful sent of her perfume, which set him off. He leaned down and nuzzled her neck with his face. She giggles slightly.

"Kyo!" she smiled.

"Hmmmm?" He kissed the base of her neck gently.

"Kyo that tickles!" she laughed.

"Sorry," he said laughing a little, then tipping her head back and kissing her lips. She laced her fingers through his soft unuaslly orange hair, scrunching it tightly. He slid her hands up her arms and to her own hands, grasping them into her own. Everything that Kyo ever wanted, ever needed, he found in Tohru. He belong to her now and he would be damned it he let anybody take him away from her. Moments later they parted their kiss and Tohru spoke.

"Hey...don't you think we should head back home?"

"Why?" He looked at his watch. "It's only 5:23. Why don't we go somewhere?"

"Like where?" asked Tohru curiously.

"How about the movies?"

"Ok...so...like...a date?" she said blushing and looking away.

"Heh, yeah." He smiled, helped her up, and brought her to him, so that their noses touched and their eyes stared into one another. "Is that...a problem?"

"No," she said giggling and resting her forhead on his. "Let's go." He laced his fingers through hers and walked up the hill, over the bridge, and into town to the movie theater.

"Anything you want to see?"

"No not really. How about you?"

"Same. We can decide when we get there."

They walked hand in hand and along the way they had seen some familiar faces from school, but people that they never talked to. Dispite that fact, the people stared wide eyed in amazment and stopped to stare as they saw Kyo leaning over and kissing her cheek. Both of them laughing.

"Isn't that...Kyo-Kun! And Tuhru-Chan! Together!" The girls wimpered and cried as their beloved Kyo-Kun had had his heart taken by...Tohru. They clenched the fists. "Wew ill never lose Kyo-Kun, never!" The girls continued sobbing and wimpering.

When they got to the theater, they couldn't find anything worth seeing, so they decided to go and get something to eat, then go and rent their own movie.

"Is it good?" Kyo asked Tohru, who had just stuffed a sushi into her mouth, nodding vigerously in approval.

"Yes! Would you like one?"

"Sure." She picked one up with her chopsticks and moved the sushi to his mouth, where he delicatly poped it into his mouth. He swollowed before saying, "These are good! Let's take some home." They spent the time eating Sushi, rice balls, and everything else that seemed appitizing to them at the time. When they had ordered what they wanted to take home, the walked to the movie rental store.

"Pft, what kind of movie is that!" exclaimed Kyo, staring at the new hot romance movie. "There's only one left out of like 20 copies! Is something that mushy that good!" Tohru walked over to see what he was complaining about.

"Aw! I wanted to see that movie!"

"Figures..." muttered Kyo rolling his eyes.

"What did you say?" said Tohru laughing.

"Nothing!" He laughed and picked up the last copy. "We can get it."

"No no! I know you don't want to see it."

"Well it might not be half as bad if you're there." Tohru's eyes opened widely and she blushed. "What?"

"Nothing," she said giving him a smile. "Ok then, time for you to pick out a movie." They went from shelf to shelf looking for anything else good.

"Ah ha! This one is perfect!" he said holding it ended up picking a horror film, which wasn't up to Tohru's taste, but she didn't say anything. She knew it was only fare, because Kyo had let her get the movie and he was willing to watch it with her.

"Ok, all done?"

"Yea, just let me pay and we can head on home." He payed the man for the movies and they left just as it was getting dark.

When they opened the sliding door and walked in Shigure jumped up. "Where have you two been? It's getting late you were gone all day and I had no idea what had happened when I heard you rush out...earlier..." He stooped yelling as soon as he saw Kyo still holding Tohru's hand as well as the movie rentals and take out. "But you know I can let it slide just this once," he said smiling and wlaking away.

"That was ummm...strange." They both laughed and walked to Kyo's room to watch the movies.

Tohru's room had no tv nor a dvd player, but she didn't mind since she never really watched tv. And Shigure's room had been by the livingroom tv and they didn't want to interfere his sleep with the painful screams and and horrow noises. For some reason Tohru had been somewhat nervous to be going to his room. but she shook it off. She knew Kyo well enough and he wouldn't pull anything. They decided to watch the horror movie first so it would be over with. Every so often Kyo would see Tohru flinch and gasp whenever exciting was about to happen and when a scary scene came on, she would squint her eyes shut. He chuckled a bit and pulled her close to him and holding her, letting her know there was nothing to be frightened of. She curled up in his arms and through the rest of the movie, she did not jumpgasps, or become frightened at all. Just as the movie had ended Tohru had fallen asleep in Kyo's arms and he could feel himself starting to heavily drift asleep as well. He pulled the quilt down and put her underneath it, then got up and turned the tv off. He walked to the bathroom and when he came back he completely passed out next to her without even thinking.
