"I'm gonna kick your ass ya stinkin rat!" Kyou growled.

"I'd like to see you try cat-boy," his cousin Yuki taunted.

Fifteen year old Tohru Honda shook her head at their antics, and headed for the kitchen to get dinner started.

'I wonder where Shigure-san is,' she said to herself as she prepared the beef stir-fry. 'I hope he makes it back in time for dinner.'

Thirty minutes later, as she, Kyou, and Yuki sat down to eat, Shigure came home, a very sober look on his face.

"Hi Shigure-san," Tohru greeted him as she placed a plate infront of him. "Is everything o.k.?"

Shigure looked up at her and gave a sad smile.

"Tohru, Akito has requested…"

"More like demanded," Kyou muttered but, was silenced when Yuki hit him in the back of the head.

"Anyway," Shigure said with a roll of his eyes. "Akito has requested that you move into the Main House."

Nothing could have stopped the onslaught after that statement.

Tohru blinked a few times before falling backwards into a startled Yuki's arms, who immediately transformed.

"Are you out of your fuckin dog brained mind?"

"Why does Akito-sama wish for Honda-san to move in with him?"

Shigure shrugged his shoulders.

"He wouldn't say, but he did say that if Tohru came on her own she would be allowed to continue her friendship with our family."

"Shigure, what happens if Honda-san refuses?" Yuki asked as he reverted back to his normal self, causing Tohru to faint again without losing consciousness.

"Akito will have Kyou jailed and tortured, you and I will be forced to move back into the main house, and he'll take Tohru anyway."

Tohru didn't like the idea of living with the head of the Sohma family, but she refused to cause any trouble for her friends.

"I'll go pack."

"Oh no you won't!" Kyou snarled, sure he didn't like Tohru like that, but she was still his friend, and there was no way in hell that he would let her move in with that psycho.

"Kyou, I don't think any of us really has a choice," Tohru said. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

As soon as she had disappeared, Yuki had to tackle Kyou to keep him from killing Shigure.

"When does she have to leave?"

"After school, she has to go straight to the Main house. Akito-sama has already arranged for someone to gather her things."

With that, he retired to his room, his plate of food untouched. The rest of the night was spent in complete silence.
