The school bell sounded, scattering Momiji's thoughts. He had been lost in his mind the entire class and would have to ask someone what the homework was. Tohru; that was the only thing on his mind. His face flushed just at the thought of her hand in his...He realized that Kyo had finally confessed his love for Tohru, but Momiji still couldn't help but wish she might not return that love. He sighed inwardly, but put on a happy face as he jumped up to Tohru, now adorning his more mature male uniform.
"Hello Momiji-San. Will you be joining us for dinner?" Tohru's innocent smile lit up her face, causing Momiji to take a step back. He yearned to lean up and kiss those lips but Kyo was, of course, was on the otherside of Tohru as they headed down the hallway. A surge of jealousy shot through him before he realized that Tohru had even asked him a question.
"Oh- Umm yes! Of course Tohru I'd love to!" Momiji smiled back, covering up his pain as per usual. He silently wondered if Kyo noticed that flash of jealousy that has flicked into his eyes for a moment, but it was merely a passing thought.
Tohru smiled, mentally wondering what to cook for dinner. She shrugged and stopped to wait for Sohma-Kun who was running from behind to catch up with them.
"Damn it! Do you always have to be the last one out of the classroom?" Kyo half-yelled as Yuki walked up next to Momiji.
"Do you always have to be such an idiot?" Yuki responded calmly, dusting his black slacks off.
"Ehh whatever, let's just get home!" Kyo fumed, but didn't further instigate Yuki at the moment for he could Tohru biting her lip, ready to interrupt them if she needed to. He would get back at the rat later.
The walk home was quieter the usual, what with Kyo boiling in his thoughts and Momiji silently burning with jealousy. Tohru and Yuki chatted idly, discussing what to make for dinner and the next plants they would plant in the garden.
They arrived at the house just as the sun was starting to set, the colors playing against the trees in the nearby woods they had just walked through. There was a note taped to the door adressed to Yuki, Tohru, and Kyo.
"My dearest brother Yuki, Tohru, and Kyo,
I regret to inform you that I have whisked you're adult supervisor away for a night full of fantasy on the town. I shall return him to you tomorrow, that is if I want to give him back. I have left a few of my newest pieces of artwork for my dearest Tohru-San to add to her current collection of Ayame's dresses. Oh, and Shigure wanted me to remind you, my budding adolecents, that if you are planning to do anything tonight that you should be sure to use protect-"
Yuki's expression flared as both he and Kyo reached for the note, ending up ripping it in two. Tohru cocked her head to the side and questioned the two boys.
"What did it say?" She asked. All of the boys flushed pink but Tohru could not notice in the low light.
"Shigure's out with Ayame." Kyo grumbled, pushing the door open and heading up to the roof to wait for dinner.
"Miss Honda do you need help with dinner?" Yuki asked as they both headed into the kitchen. He looked down into Tohru's chocolately brown eyes.
"Oh- N-no no! I couldn't possibly! I mean it's not a problem!" Tohru blushed a little but started scouring the kitchen for the things she would need to make dinner.
"Well then I am going to go plant some leeks in the garden if that's alright." Yuki grabbed his bag full of digging tools and headed to the garden.
"I guess that leaves just you and me!" Momiji smiled, headind over to Tohru. If he ever wanted to admit his love for Tohru now was as good as time as any.
"You sure you don't want help?" Momiji asked, wrapping his arms around Tohru's waist, his hands searching for hers. Tohru's breath grew shorter and Momiji wasn't sure if this was a good response or not so he sighed, and turned her to face him.
"N-no...That's okay." Tohru's face was deep red as Momiji stared up into Tohru's eyes, slowly closing the distance between them.
His lips landed on her neck and he thought he heard a little sigh.
"Tohru...Do you like me?"
Tohru froze, but didn't have much time to think. Momiji's lips were on hers in a second. His hands were like a metal cage around her waist, but surprisingly it didn't bother her. His lips tasted like candy (AN: Does this surprise you?) on hers and the whole world was black for a second. The only thing she felt was Momiji. She almost fell back in surprise when she felt his warm tongue lightly touch the tip of her lips.
Momiji sighed into Tohru's slightly parted lips. He could tell she was enjoying this as much as he was, and that had surprised him. He was always so sure that Tohru loved Kyo. Momiji thought about breaking the kiss, but he didn't want her to answer his last question. What if she just didn't want to hurt his feelings?
"Hey Tohru, I guess I should of asked if you-" Kyo froze at the doorway to the kitchen, anger and shock filling his mind as he gaped at what he saw.
