Chapter 6: Day At The Park

Tohru walked down the street, her hand still clutched by Kyo's.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Huh? Nothing!"

"But you're so silent...did I do something?

"No! Never! Just thinking, that's all!" she said smiling.

"If you're sure..." She nodded and they continued down the street. "So where to?"

"Hmmm...I don't know...do you have anything in mind?"

"Kind of...but it's stupid..."

"I bet it's not! Tell me!"

"No..."

"Please!" she smiled at him.

"No..."

"Why n..." he cut her off.

"Can I just take you there..." he said blushing and looking away.

"Sure!" she said excitedly.

They stopped into a convenience store before going to their destination, picking up a few things. Tohru was very curoious of what Kyo had in mind for her. Soon enough they came to the park all the way on the other side of town. She gasped looking at his blushing face.

"See...told you this place was stupid..."

"No it's not! I love it her! I haven't been her in such a long time!"

"Really?"

"Yes! Oh thank you so much Kyo!" she threw her arms around him tightly.

"No problem..." he sailed smiling, hugging her back.

They walked around deciding what they should do. First they sat under a large willow tree and ate their lunch that they had baught earlier. After finishing up, Tohru found a small icecream cart and Kyo baught her a icecream cone. She sat on one of the benches happily eating it.

"Good?"

"Yeah! Want some?"

"Nah I don't know..." but before he could finish she stuck the cone right into his face. Icecream dripped off of his nose and covered his mouth. Tohru giggled with laughter as Kyo sat their wide eyed and became a bit irritated. He turned to her face, bright and laughing, and he couldn't help but smile. "Very funny!" he said laughing slightly. "Pay back Tohru...pay back!" She smiled at him innocently.

Not too long after she had finished and Kyo had cleaned himself up, they continued walking and came to the end of the park into another town. There was a small arcade and Tohru eyes opened widely as she spotted a cute stuffed cat in a stuffed animal case. Kyo turned and saw her eyeing it.

"Lets go in here for a second."

"Sure. I need to use the restroom quickly." He nodded as he hurried away. Moments later she had come out of the bathroom and heard a familiar voice yelling.

"Damn you! C'mon!"

"Kyo..." She stared at him from a distance. His fist banging against a glass case.

"Damnit! Stupid machine!" The manager had walked over to him at that time.

"Sir...their are children here and I can't allow such language...i'm going to have to ask you to leave please.

"I'm not leaving until I get that thing out of there!" He concentrated hard as the manager kept rambaling on about the annoyed parents, but he payed no attention.

"Kyo..." He swung around to find Tohru staring at him. "C'mon..." At that moment the claw in the machine had caught onto the small body of the cat lifting it up into the air and dropping it into the bin.

"Winner! Winner! Winner!" The machine had said, the cat displayed in the bin. Kyo's eyes popped open and he pulled out the cat, handing it to Tohru. She was speechless, holding onto the small stuffed cat.

"Sir...you're going to have to leave now i'm sorry..."

"Yeah yeha yeah, i'm leaving. C'mon Tohru let's go!" He held out his hand and she took it, still shocked. Leaving, Tohru could hear the whispers from some of the mothers with their children still in the arcade.

"Boy...I didn't like his rude language around my son...but still...that was kind of sweet. He was there forever trying to win that cat fro her..." The other women nodded in agreement to what the other woman had said. Tohru's shocked face dissapeard and she smiled leaning into Kyo, holding his hand tighter.

"Thank you Kyo..."

"Yeah, whatever." he replied blushing and looking away.
