Chapter 4

Last chapter:

Tika noticed something very strange about this boy. She knew there was something different about him but just couldn't place it. She could tell that Tohru meant more then the world to this boy. But that is all she could read on his mind. Well I might just have to make room here for him also. She could use another training partner. I'm getting to old for this. And Genko is always so busy with who knows what. Well I will ask him at dinner tonight. This in thought, she asked one of the house servants to make up one more of the guest rooms for Kyou. Tika knew deep inside the Kyou would not refuse to be this close to Tohru. She had a deeper feeling that somehow he knew the secret of Tohru.

Present chapter:

Tohru and Kyou sat in her room talking while she unpacked her things. Tohru looked up when she found the package, "Kyou, what is this?" she asked. "Well it's for you. It's a late birthday present," Kyou said kind of nervously. Tohru slowly opened the package. Inside was a small box. Carefully opening the lid she gasped. "Kyou, wow, you really shouldn't have. It's to much," Tohru said still very shocked. Kyou let out his breath he didn't know he was holding, "Non-sense, you do so much for all of us. You deserve it. Please accept it from me." Tohru was over come with joy. With out thinking she leapt into Kyou arms and gave him a great big hug. When reality hit them after about 5 minutes of holding each other, they both jumped back. They just stood there staring at each other. Both of them were in too much shock to say anything. All of a sudden there was a knock at the door and a small voice, "Tohru, Kyou, time for dinner to be served" "Yes mam," they both said in unison. They both quietly walked down the stairs to the dining room.

Dinner was mostly quite. Tika was the first to speak up, "Kyou I was wondering if you would like to stay here during Tohru's training to help me out? I'm getting a little to old to keep up with the younger generations and well I need someone she trusts." Kyou was a little taken aback by this but gladly accepted. Tohru just sat there shocked still. She could barely eat her food. Tika spoke up again, "Tohru you need to eat to keep up your strength. You will need it for tomorrow. Your training will start then." Tohru answered simply with a nod.

The rest of dinner was very quiet. Tohru and Kyou was the first to stand up and ask if they could be excused from the table. Tika stated, "Yes you can. And try not to stay up all night. You will both need you sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day. The maid will show you your room Kyou." With that said both kids bowed politely and left following the maid. The maid led them up the stairs and to a room right across from Tohru's. "Here you go sir, let me know if you need anything," said the maid and bowed. She left the two teens standing there. Kyou looked at Tohru and asked, "How did she know I would accept her offer." Tohru giggled slightly, "Well I'm not sure but she knows things." They both walked into the room. Kyou gasped. This was the first time anyone treated the cat so nicely besides Tohru. He walked over to the closet and opened it. And again Kyou gasped. Inside was a wide verity of clothes. And all of them were his size. How did this old lady know my sizes? He thought to himself. He walked over to the dresser and it was the same thing, more clothes for him. He picked out a pair of sleep pants and boxers and set them on top the dresser. He turned to Tohru and asked, "So where is the bathroom in this place, so I can shower." Tohru giggled again and pointed to the door behind him. Kyou gasped again and said, "You mean I have my own bathroom here?" Tohru just looked so amused while she was trying to talk, "Yes, It seems all of the guest rooms have there own bathrooms for privacy." Tohru bowed down while saying, "I'm going to go get ready for bed also. See you later." Then Tohru winked and turned to leave for her own room. Kyou was to shock to say anything in response. His mind was going wild again, "What was that? Did she wink at me? Something strange is going on here. Why didn't I transform when hugged? I wonder if Tohru wants me here with her. She has been acting very differently since she got here. It's almost like she is a different person inside. She hasn't done anything clumsy either."

Kyou shook his head to get rid of the thoughts. Glancing over at the clock he noticed he had been standing there staring at the door thinking for about twenty minutes. Crap, I need to get in the shower. Kyou opened the bathroom door and turned on the shower. Not really thinking he left the bathroom door open. Since it was in his room only he never thought about someone coming in while he was showering. But someone was. Tohru wanted to ask Kyou why he didn't transform. Well she knew why but was wondering if he had his own idea. She had already taken her bath and gotten into her pj's. She quietly walked back over to Kyou's room. Slowly she opened the door and walked inside. Tohru sat on the bed; not even noticing the bathroom door was wide open.

She looked up and gasped. She could see Kyou's main outline through the shower door. His body was well defined, with chiseled muscles everywhere. All's that she could do was sit there wide-eyed and speechless. Her fox senses were going crazy. She could feel herself getting aroused by what she saw. All of a sudden she heard the water shut off. She quickly turned around blushing from head to toe. She so badly wanted to see more but was too embarrassed. Kyou didn't notice her on the bed. He quickly dried off and wrapped the towel around his waist and walked out to get dressed. Just then he looked up. "Tohru I didn't notice you there," he was able to stammer out. Tohru thinking he was dressed turned around to only see him in nothing but a towel. He mouth dropped and she turned ten shades redder. She was to embarrass to say anything. With her reaction Kyou quickly grabbed his clothes and ran into the bathroom and got dressed and walked out of the bathroom. "Sorry about that," he managed to squeak out. Kyou was a little embarrassed, but didn't know she had also seen him in the shower. He walked over to her and sat down. Kyou said calmly, "Tohru, sorry I didn't know you where in here or I would have gotten dressed. I didn't mean to embarrass you like that." Tohru just looked up at him and said, "No no it was my fault completely. I shouldn't have just let myself in. I just thought you were already done. And I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk in the garden and talk? It's still a little warm outside so it should be nice." Kyou was a bit taken back by this but still happily agreed to go. He loved spending time with Tohru.

They quietly walked outside as to not disturb anyone in the house. It was very quiet outside. You could hear crickets, frogs, and some other night creatures around. They walked though a very large maze garden, in the middle it was filled with roses and all other kinds of flowers. You could see fireflies dancing across the petals. Making it even more romantic then they could have ever expected. Kyou was the first to speak up, "Tohru before you say anything, I know why you didn't transform earlier. I may be the cat but I'm not stupid. I just do not know why you wouldn't tell me about you being the fox. Does anyone else in the Sohma family know this? Or is this our little secret?" Kyou winked at her. In the moonlight she was even more beautiful than before. She had on silk pants and a matching tank top the showed off more then she knew. It hugged every one of her curves and revealed her cleavage. It was very low cut and had lace to try and cover up the deep v-neck of the top, but it didn't work. Over the past few years they had known each other she had really grown. She now looked more like a woman, and everywhere she went men stared. But of course clueless Tohru never noticed.

Tohru started to stutter again while trying to speak, "No, besides the people here, no one else knows about it. When I turned 18 the transformation started. I'm now the fox. I have not really any clues about what kind of training you will be doing with me tomorrow either. Kyou why did you want to stay here and help me? And I'm sorry for acting so strange earlier. I didn't mean to see you in the shower either. Though you did look very good. And well I want to thank you for staying here with me anyways it mean a whole lot to me."

Kyou only caught about half of the conversation. He finally was able to speak up again, "Tohru, I wanted to help you through this. I don't think I could stand to be away from you. I mean you mean the world to me." With that said he leaned over and kissed her passionately on the lips. Thus left Tohru speechless. Her body had gone into over drive, and then all you could hear was a poof. From everything said and the burning sensation of wanting to take him right then and there she had transformed. Kyou was a little shocked but still managed to laugh like crazy. He picked her up and walked back to their rooms. He set her down on her bed with her clothes next to her. Tohru was too embarrassed to talk. She didn’t mean to transform. But she had to many things going through her head and well her body couldn't take it. Kyou laughed again and leaned down next to her white ears and whispered, "I already knew you had been watching me in the shower. Call it a cat's sense. I hope you enjoyed the show. I will see you tomorrow morning. Good night." Kyou kissed her on her cheek and watched her blush. Silently he walked out of her room and into his own and went to sleep.

Thank you for all the reveiws and critisism.
