I pulled my t-shirt over my head.
"What the-" I walked out of my room into the hall way wearing only my green boxers. I saw her coming into the kitchen.
"Hey," she turned towards me and I realized my tone had been harsher then I had intended. "How come none of my clothes fit?" she looked at me quizzically- I gestured to my room violently. She walked into my room where I have left all my shrunken clothing scattered across the floor.
"I'm not sure-" she was cut off by an irritatingly calm voice that called out.
"Miss Honda?" She started walking over to the Rats room. She entered the room and I stood behind her- damn rat; I was talking to her first. I looked over her head. The rat was only wearing boxers like me but was hiding behind a shirt.
"My clothes don't seem to fit me this morning." I grunted and leaned against the door frame.
"Get in line." She turned so she was facing both of us at the same time. The way she was shaking I wasn't sure if she was going to start crying or what. Then I realized she was laughing.
"What the hells so funny!" I asked.
"I let Kagura do the laundry yesterday- she must have accidently let them shrink." I sighed and put my head down.
"That girl really can't do anything." I looked at my feet and noticed something- she was wearing nail polish. And it looked good.
"yes, she can't even seem to kill you properly." I stared at the rat, he was smiling smugly.
"Forget you," and out of the corner of my eye I swear I saw her gasp with surprise. "So what now?" I turned towards her.
"Yes Miss Honda, what do we do now? All we have left is our uniform-" I cut in.
"No way!" I had to wear that stupid suit 5 days a week any way; I would not wear it any more.
"Let me finish you stupid cat- I think we are in call to go-" this time she was the one that interrupted him.
"Shopping?" He nodded slowly. I stuck out my tongue embarrassingly. Her eyes twinkled and I couldn't help but smile a little.
~~~~~~~~ After the Mall ~~~~~~~~~
I walked into the kitchen drinking milk from the carton. I lowered the milk and saw Tohru standing over the bags from the mall she was holding a small bag open in her hand, it was about the size of her hand. I dropped the jug on the floor spilling milk everywhere.
"What do you think you're doing! Why are you looking threw my stuff?" Tohru turned to me- her eyes where questioning and forgiving.
"I'm sorry Kyo, I was going to wash the new clothes and I found this, I'm sorry I was just about to see if it was yours. But Kyo can I ask you a question?" I grunted and leaned against the wall.
"Well you just did, so go ahead." She pulled the condense out of the bag. Two pink bows with little rhinestones.
"Do you have a girlfriend? Are these for Kagura?"I could feel the colour rushing from his face.
"No! I don't have a girlfriend! And NO they are NOT for Kagura! Why the hell would I get something for her, she drives me insane!-" I stopped he had gotten very close to Tohru I could feel her shaking.
"I'm sorry Kyo- I just." I grabbed the bag from her and stormed out of the kitchen.
~~~~~~~~ Later that night ~~~~~~~~~
I sat on the roof cursing to myself, why did she have to see the bag. Now there was no way for me to give it to her without her knowing. I fiddled with the bows in my hands. I threw them off the roof- they had no use for me now.
~~~~~~~~ Next day ~~~~~~~~
I sat at the table with Tohru. I noticed she had a small piece of paper in her hand she kept reading it then she would look at me then quickly back at her cereal.
"Okay, what does that paper say?" I said I snatched it from over the table and read it. As I read it my heart crawled in to my throat. It was the piece of paper that had been attached to the bows. To: Tohru From: your odd haired secret admirer. I chocked on my oatmeal.
"Kyo," I looked up, Tohru had tears in her eyes.
"I think Yuki got those for me." I sat there not moving- shocked. "Kyo," he voice brought me back to reality. "I'm sorry, it was a bad joke," I blinked and got it.
" I think you've been spending to much time with Shigure." She smiled which made me smile.
"I want to spend more time with you." …
"BRAVO, BRAVO! I don't think I've ever seen such raw emotion!" I twirled around to see a smirking Shigure standing in the door and a sleepy Yuki trudging behind him.
"HOW LONG WHERE YOU STANDING THERE! IM GOING TO KILL YOU!" I leaped up and attacked Shigure- but with still the faintest trace of smile, and she had one too.
