AUTHOR'S NOTE:
GAH! I've been working on an idea for this story for a few weeks and I think I may have actually turned it into a decent story. =P My first attempt at Kyoru so please be gentle. *bows* This part is told from Kyo's POV. BEWARE THE LEMON. Yes, you read correctly.

Part Three - Better than a Kiss

Dammit! The window's stuck!

I pull for the fifth time before I wonder idly if Tohru actually locked it. She never had before. Leaning in closer to the window I realize that it is indeed unlocked. Baka girl. Doesn't she know that she should lock her window or else the boogyman will get her?

Like I'm any better than the boogyman.

Using most of my strength I manage to get teh window open an inch or two. Just enough for me to sneak my hands through and get a better hold. With another pull, the window is open enough for me to crawl inside. It rattles with the effort but doesn't make much noise otherwise.

Please don't let the rat wake up. Please don't let the rat wake up. Please. Don't. Let. The. Rat. Wake. Up.

Success! I'm able to crawl through the window, my feet happy to be on solid ground. Cats weren't made to hang upside down, that's for damn sure.

Tohru still hasn't noticed me. She's crying, clutching something to her chest. I think it's the picture of her mother. It usual sits on the table beside her bed and right now, it's gone.

Probably for the best that she hasn't realized I'm there. I don't want to frighten her too badly. I've already done that once today I think. And the last thing I need is for her to scream and wake up the other two occupants of the house.

I shouldn't have come in her room. I should've just went for a job or something. I feel badly for what I did earlier...although the experience wasn't all THAT bad...and I want to be sure she's okay. Still, I have not idea what to do with a crying girl. What do I say? What do I do?!

"Tohru?"

Her name escapes my lips without so much as a thought. I surprise myself and surprise Tohru even more. Her head snaps upward, her hair falling away from her face. Her eyes are red and puffy. Tears stain the pale skin of her cheeks. She bites her bottom lip to hold back a sob, but one escapes despite her efforts.

At least she didn't scream. I sigh in relief.

Not knowing what else to do, I sit on the floor in the middle of the room. "Daijobu desu ka?"

I don't think she intended her next move. With tears pouring down her face, she sets her mother's picture aside and leaps from the bed. Before I know it both of her arms are wrapped around me, her forehead is on my shoulder and she's so close I can feel the warmth of her body pressed against mine. I go rigid for a moment just before a cloud of white smoke fills the air around us.

PYON!

Kuso!

The smoke clears, but I can still feel arms around me. Tohru's chin is now on top of my head, her tears falling into my orange fur. I sigh, held captive and helpless in her arms. She apologizes over and over, her sobs growing andher tears flowing faster.

This isn't what I had planned. Nothing like it. GAH! Think, Kyo! How can I calm her enough to get her talk to me? I allow her to cry a little longer before asking again, "What's wrong, Tohru? Did you have a bad dream?"

She shakes her head, I can feel her chin rubbing against one of my ears. "Iie."

What else? "Are you hurt? Are you in pain?"

"Iie."

"Then why are you crying?!"

"B-b-because, I'm...I'm..." A sob chokes her words but she finally managed to finish. "Because I'm confused."

I have to wiggle a bit to put myself in a position where I can look at her. My glare isn't as effective in cat form I imagine. Still, I fix her with my best, 'tell me' gaze, my tail moving back and forth on its own as she pets me down my back. Kami that felt good.

Ah! No! Must not act cat-like. Must. Not! "Confused about what?"

"I...." Tohru closes her eyes to think, her hands still absently stroking my back. I want her to stop but my baser instincts argue the matter. "Why did Kyo-kun kiss me earlier?"

Blink. Is that it? The kiss?

Shit! What am I supposed to say?!

"I don't know why I kissed you," I answer honestly, pulling away from her so that I can sit on the floor. Her last touch had done something I don't think it was meant to do, and I certainly didn't want her finding out about it. "I just...it just felt...well, it felt like the right thing to do, okay!"

She blinks, unsure about my response. "Why--?"

I look away, just incase she decides to cry again. "I don't know!"

"But--?"

"I care about you, all right." My voice is raised, but I don't care if anyone else hears me at the moment. "I care A LOT. I've wanted to kiss you for along time. THEN just seemed like the right time!"

PYON!

Great. Just great.

I'm enveloped in another cloud of smoke and I can feel the tingly sensation that indicates transformation. I'm not longer covered in orange fur. Hell, I'm no longer covered, period!

I turn to collect my close when I realize that I'm being watched. Slowly my eyes lift to see Tohru sitting in place, her eyes wide in shock. Great. She'll be having nightmares for weeks now!

But as I take in her shocked features I realize something else. Something that had changed while I was still in cat form and was still very prominent in my human form. And I didn't think it was possible to turn a shade darker than my hair. Boy was I wrong. I turn quickly, hiding as much of myself from her gaze as I can.

"Tohru--"

"Kyo-kun, why--"

I sigh. "I already said--"

"Why did you wait so long to kiss me?"

Blink. "Wha--?"

I hear movement behind me. I turn my head to look over my shoulder, only to see Tohru approaching me. I quickly turn my head away, afraid she'll see the deep red blush on my cheeks. Her footsteps echo in my ears as she walks forward, my entire body jumping when her gentle fingers make contact with the flesh of my back.

"You...you're not upset that I kissed you?" GAH! Kuso! Stupid question.

"Iie," she replies, her fingers lightly tracing invisible markings on my back.

I find myself relaxing as other parts of me become more tense. "Then...why were you crying?"

"Because...I was afraid...." Her voice trails off and her finger slide along my back to my left as she circles around to look at me. "I was afraid that Kyo-kun...you...."

I know I should turn away. I'm completely naked for kami's sake! But I can't move. I can't turn away from her. Not now. Her eyes rake up my body from my waist and when our eyes meet I see longing there, desire and pain swirling into one deep pool of emotion. Kami but I could drown there.

"I was afraid you didn't care for me like I cared for you, Kyo-kun," she admits, and although she doesn't look away, a pretty blush colors her cheeks. "I was afraid you didn't care...and I care about you so much."

"Tohru--!"

But I don't even wait to hear an answer. Shit, I don't even finish the sentence! Gripped by emotion, I grasp her by her arms. Our faces move closer, our noses almost touching before I tilt my head a little to the left and lay my lips on top of hers.

What was only meant to be a quick kiss quickly turned into something more. I did not expected Tohru to respond so...so passionately. I did not expected her lips to feel so good against mine. I did not expected her hands to burn where they touched my bare skin. And I certainly didn't expect the moan that came from her throat, vibrating into our kiss and causing my body to shiver in delight.

I'm hungry now. Hungry for more. More. I want more. I have to have more!

I pulled away only when the need for air began to push through my lungs. I rested my forehead against hers, my eyes staring intently into hers. I need to know she really wants this because once I start...I don't know if I can stop.

She stares back all wanton and dreamy eyed. I can easily see the confusion, the fear, the doubt. But above all that there is need. Want. Desire. She desires me? No other thought serves to make me groan with sheer male pride.

"Tohru--?"

"Onegai, Kyo-kun."

She has no idea what it is she's asking. Or maybe she does and just doesn't realize it. In either case the animal in me responds, forcing me to crush my lips to hers in another passionate kiss, forcing my hands to tug at the flimsy nightshirt she's wearing. It disappears quickly. If we need it, we'll look for it later.

Now the only thing separating us is a thin piece of cloth. White cotton if I'm not mistaken. But Tohru herself makes quick work of those, breaking our kiss and pulling the panties down her slim legs until they reach the floor.

Lifting her in my arms I carry her over to her bed. She gives a little yelp, unsure of how to balance herself in my grasp. I have no qualms about using the floor...just not this time. I want her to be comfortable and I want the moment to be as perfect as I can make it.

Lying her on the bed, I kiss her again, forcing her to lie back at teh same time. She does so without hesitation and I'm barely conscious enough to remember to keep some distance between us. It's difficult, I'll admit. I want to pull her to me. I want to revel in the feel of her body against mine. But the feel of our legs entwined, the feel of her hands on my torso making their way downward to my waist and around to my back, will have to do for compensation.

My lips leave hers to kiss a wet trail along her jaw and down her throat. Her hands grasp at my hips, her hips lifting off the mattress and pressing her deliciously moist heat against my engorged flesh. I moan, pushing back. She moans in response, repeating her actions and I repeat mine as well.

Kami this has to stop. If it doesn't, I'll take her in the worst way and dammit she deserves better than that!

Her hips continue to lift off the mattress as I move my body lower, my kisses searing a path from the hollow of her neck to the uppermost swell of her breasts. I have no basis for comparison, but I know that her breasts are perfectly round by the way they fit into my hands. Flesh molds to flesh and I cannot resist a taste of her raised nipple so proudly calling for attention. I'm rewards with a loud gasp and a long moan as I suckle her.

"Kyo, onegai....Onegai!"

I growl, a rumble pouring from my chest cavity and into my throat. My lips begin torturing her other breast and my free hand glides lower, scorching the skin over her rib cage and lower still over the flesh of her hip until it reaches its destination. Without asking permission, my fingertips storm through a barrier of curls before finding refuge in the moist, warm heat of her center.

She's wet. So fucking wet! I may not know all that much about sex, but I know that her responsiveness is exceptional. My cock twitches in delight and throbs mercilessly at the thought of having that moist heat surrounding it.

With a little maneuvering I lay on my side next to her, one hand fondling and kneading her breasts while the other idly plays with her core. One finger slips inside her, her hips lifting off the mattress as she cries out silently. I place a reassuring kiss to her shoulder, slipping a second finger into her tight center. She arches again, a strangled groan escaping her throat.

Slowly my fingers begin moving, sliding out then pushing oh-so-slowly back inside. She whispers my name, over and over, echoing the rhythm my finger are setting. Her hands, waving about wildly, find purchase on my chest and she begins her own quest amidst the growing sensations I'm building inside of her.

Her fingers reach lower and grasp my cock tightly, as if it's the last lifeline she has. I gasp at the heated feeling of her fingertips as she strokes me mindlessly, aimlessly, her complete focus on my fingers inside of her and the sensation of their movements in and out of her body.

I can feel her inner walls working sporadically around my fingers. Kami but it feels so good. And it'll feel even better with me inside of her. Her body begins this pleasurable dance of wantonness as her climax approaches and I tilt my head just enough to watch her face as her orgasm shakes her to her very core.

"Kyo!"

I should've stopped her keening cry but I could've cared less. I wanted to hear her scream my name. It's a sound I will always remember. Just as I will always remember the way she looked when she came for me.

I hear her whisper my name again, her body still trembling from the effects of her climax. I smile pressing another light kiss to her shoulder, whispering words of encouragement and confessing my undying love.

But I also let down my guard.

I should've felt the arms snaking their way around my neck. Should've realized that the heavy rise and fall of her chest was too great of a danger for me to be too close. My entire body tensed as she whispered my name, a familiar tingly sensation sweeping through all of my limbs and the foul smell of burning dust fills my nose.

PYON!
