Hello. I am new here and I just wanted to thank anyone who is currently reading this story. I am a major furuba fan and kyo/tohru fan. I have been since the beginning on the series. Only recently have I discovered the ending. I wanted to give a shout-out and tell you where you can read all of the furuba manga. think the ending was perfect so I don't think that any of my stories will compare but I still do love to write them. They aren't very good but still, I hope you enjoy them!

Chapter one: River Romantics

Tohru awoke and gently yawned stretching her arms. She clumsily tumbled out of bed and on to the floor. Standing she licked her lips and smiled sweetly. She got ready for the day and fallowed the stairwell to the first floor from the second where she lived. She rolled up her sleeves, put on her "I live t cook" apron, time to make breakfast. Tohru was probably the most innocent person in the world; her mind was never really filled with much. Lately, there had been something on her mind though. Lately Kyo had been all over it, no matter what she did. Why? This is what she had been asking as well.

How come she would feel her face heat up as he neared? Her speaking stuttered and full of ummm's? Her eyes light up? Her fingers fumbling nervously? A fear of touching him? Fearing of what he thought of her? Why? Why all these fears and feelings? Had something changed between them? Something major? She heard the fringe open and a sound of compressed air released as a milk carton opened. She organized the sound, who was the only one who drank milk straight from the carton? Kyo. Tohru stumbled over the words trying to speak a proper greeting. "G-g-good m-m-morning, Kyo-kun." She forced out. Her face reddened as the fringe closed to reveal her Kyo. He looked at her, what was it?

What was it about her smile that lit up her days? The ways his cat-like eyes gently twinkled and sparkled sweetly as he would look at her? The deep red color that she could get lost in forever? He looked at her, his cheeks reddened. Was that a blush? He licked the remaining milk from his lips and answered. "Morning Tohru." Her heart skipped a beat. He sat relaxing and enjoying his milk. "K-k-Kyo-kun, w-wou-" She cleared her throat trying to speak properly. "Would you like anything specific for breakfast?" He closed the milk carton and put it away. "No, whatever you make is fine with me." He stood and walked over to her. He put his hand on the counter top and leaned on it. "If, you know, need any help," His lips inches from her ear.

"I am right here." He moved back allowing her to see his never-ending eyes again. "Thank-you!" She managed. Kyo strode over to the door, opened it, walked through and closed it behind him leaving Tohru blushing. She took her first breath since he told her that. She leaned on the counter for support. He was that close to me! She said recalling what had just happened. "Ah! Breakfast!" Reality pulled her back in like an undertow.

She made breakfast quickly and every sat to eat. She kept thinking about what had happened earlier in the morning. Shigure caught her not eating. "Tohru, are you going to eat this morning? You don't wan to get too skinny…." He said looking her up and down.

He only received two fist marks on his head as Kyo and Yuki sat back down. "Oh! Right! No I am not really hungry this morning?" She told him. After she picked up breakfast and thrust her backpack over her shoulders and walked out in her own world completely forgetting about Yuki and Kyo. She jumped on the rock wall that lined a dangerous river. She put out her rams and walked along its wall. Lost in her thoughts, Tohru was completely unaware of her surroundings. "Tohru!" Kyo called to her, not intending to scare her. "Ahhh!" She cried as she lost her balance and fell in the river. "Tohru!" Kyo yelled racing to her. Tohru let out a frightened gasp as she rose up for air but she only choked down water as the river pulled her under. "Kyo-ku-!" She was pulled under again. "Tohru!" Kyo raced along the wall trying to keep up with it.

He sped up his pace in a desperate attempt to catch up with the rivers deadly grip on Tohru. She looked around under water. So this is it? She thought letting go of the last of her breath. She prepared herself for never coming back up fro m the water. She looked up, her hand slipping down into the water as she let the current sweep her away. Kyo ran even faster and jumped up on the ledge as he saw her hand slipping down into the currents. "Tohru!" His eyes welled. This is no time to cry! She is not gone yet! He reached down and grasped her hand with all of his strength.

"You are not going! No, not while I am here!" He yelled. Tohru opened her eyes and saw Kyo face, he looked distressed. And then she saw a hand. She felt his hand wrap around her and pull her from the currents. Kyo looked down at her he saw Tohru's big terrified eyes. He saw pure terror all over her face. He pulled her over the ledge and jumped down with her in his arms. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears; she truly believed that right then and there the icy currents would sweep her away for good. Kyo clutched her to his chest and held her tightly (he was holding her, technically not a hug from her for all those wondering why she isn't changing).

His eyes filled as well with sweet relief of her safe return. "I-i-I w-w-was s-s-s-s-s-s-so sc-sc-sc-scared!" She burst into tears in Kyo's arms. He gently cradled her shirt getting wet from the water on Tohru, or was it tears? He set his hands on her face and lifted her head up to face him. Tohru had never really seen him cry about her. Tears streamed down his face as he set his forehead on hers and looked her in the eye. "Don't you ever," he forced out terrified "ever scare me like that again." He forced out trembling. Tohru nodded and Kyo pulled her back to his chest cradling her again.

"Thank-you for saving me." She pulled back looking at him, "I really thought I was lost." She trembled. "I wouldn't let that happen, ever." He said. Tohru looked in his eyes. "Thank-you." Her lips getting closer to his. He starred wide-eyed as their lips were a breath away. "Tohru! Kyo! Are you okay!?!" Bum-da-da-dum! Yuki to the not rescue! Kyo and Tohru pulled away their faces blushed with all shades of red. "What happened!?! Did you fall in the river?" Yuki gasped at their wet cloths.

"Oh, we decided to take a swim in the river so we could go to school sopping wet. No duh! Tohru fell in." Kyo yelled. "Are you crying?" Yuki asked. Kyo blushed, "n-no! I –a-am n-no-" Kyo stood. "Kyo-kun saved me!" Tohru cried covering for Kyo. At deeper blush spread through Kyo's face. "Oh, maybe the school will dry your cloths." Yuki suggested. "Thanks" Kyo helped Tohru up and looked at her. "Uh, just don't walk on that thing again. Okay?" Kyo told her. Tohru blushed, "Whatever Kyo-kun says! Never again!" Tohru saluted. Kyo blushed ruffling up her hair. Yuki walked ahead of them and then Kyo and Tohru caught up. Tohru and Kyo's face went red all over again, did we almost kiss?

Yeah! Chapter one, done! I promise the next one will be up soon!

Thank-you for reading. I hope you liked it.
