~Compliment

Walking down the steps to the living room, the brunette Tohru Honda was smiling as she always does. She was wearing casual clothing, like ones you'd go out and shop in. Which is exactly what she was doing.

Stomping into the living room himself, Kyo was grumbling to himself. Looking to the ground, he sat at the table. Shigure, the young adult man at the table, took note of this, but looked at Tohru as she walked in. "Ah! Morning Tohru!~" He greeted happily. "Hmm? Are you planning on going  somewhere?"

Tohru nodded and smiled right back. "Yes~! I'm going shopping!~ Was there anything  you needed?" Shaking his head, Shigure smirked slightly within his smile. "Not in particular. Hey Kyo," He looked towards the redhead. "How about you  go with her."

Kyo looked up towards the two. "Why me? Can't that damn rat go?" Shigure's smirk remained. "Can't~ He has to go to a special meeting at the school." Tohru perked  up. "Why today? The school's  closed on Sunday, isn't it?" A chuckle came from Shigure and he explained. "Usually. But he was called in to go to a Student Council meeting today. So that means  he won't  be able to go shopping  today."

Growling slightly, Kyo got up and looked  at Tohru. "Let's go then." He held out his hand to Tohru, and blushed lightly. Tohru smiled and took his hand. "We'll be home soon!~" Shigure waved them out and let them go.

As they left, Yuki walked downstairs. His eyes searching the room, he turned to the only other man in the room. "Where'd Tohru and the cat go?.." "Shopping," He replied, smirking  still. "Why didn't she ask me to go?" With a smile, Shigure  answered. "Because  she didn't  want to bother you when you would be busy today." Yuki  glared at Shigure slightly. "You told her about the meeting," "Yup~" "..but you told  her it was this morning so I  couldn't go." "Exactly~" "....You're an idiot....it's why didn't  you tell her it was this afternoon?"

"I told her because I believe she and Kyo need some actual alone tine together. When was the last time they had that?~" Yuki sighed. "I guess I'll let it slide for now..."

Outside, Kyo and Tohru were heading towards the town. They were getting pretty close to the main road, which meant it wouldn't be that long a walk. It was quiet for a bit, until Tohru looked up and around them. "It's so beautiful. I really love spring~.." Kyo looked towards  her with a slightly interested, yet uninterested, look. "Why? I mean spring means summer is coming, and summer means heat."

"The cherry blossoms." Tohru said calmly as they walked and looked at the trees. "They're so beautiful, don't  you think?~" Looking at the trees as well, he chuckled lightly. "Yeah, I guess they are.... but.." The redhead  looked at Tohru and blushed semi-lightly. "..They can't  even compare to how pretty you are~"

This comment made Tohru stop for a moment and blush deeply. "N-No! You don't  mean it! A-and the cherry blossoms are way prettier than I'll ever be!! I mean...ehhh!..." She mumbled loudly. Kyo turned towards her and placed his hand under her chin, lifting it up so she would look towards him. "I mean it. You are....really pretty~..." They gazed at each other for a moment, before he backed off and took her hand. "And don't  go crazy over it...it's just a compliment.." He stood there for a second with her before walking again. "Now come on.... let's go..."

[A/N] I hope this  is at least a little better~ >w< now just as a warning, it'll  be getting  sad either in the next  chapter or the  one after that~ So be ready for feels an shadnesh~
