The man known as Kyo sulked in front of the milk isle, currently spacing out on the many types of milk.

"Okay, let's think. Low-fat or fat-free? Wait, is that sugar free? Milk has sugar? Don't they have any normal cartons? Why does this have to be so confusing?" Kyo moped, reaching out for the low-fat.

"Goddamn that Yuki for leaving me with the grocery shopping." he hissed.

Kyo nearly yelped when something tugged at his pants. Looking down, Kyo saw a dark brunet girl with blue eyes.

"Mr., please don't curse in the grocery store." she demanded, eyes narrowing as the cat shrugged her off.

"Mind your own business kid," Kyo laughed. "Do I know you from somewhere? You look familiar."

The once stubborn girl faltered, now backing away.

"Mama!" she cried out, a figure quickly entering the hall. A lady rushed to the girl and picked the child up, placing the girl on her hip.

"Sorry sir," she smiled. "Did something happen?"

"No," he placed the milk in the nearby cart, admiring the woman's face. "Do I know you?"

"I don't think so." the woman fidgeted.

"Are you sure?" Kyo pressed. "You look so familiar."

"I hope my daughter hasn't bothered you. We'll be taking our leave."

"Wait, Tohru?" Kyo gasped.

"Uh, hey Kyo. It's been a while."

Kyo stared at Tohru, gripping the cart for support.

"You disappeared and no one's seen you in so long. How are you?" Kyo bewildered at the sight of the woman and child.

"I'm great. Wanna come over for some tea at our house?" Tohru asked, grocery bags swinging in the only available hand she had.

"I'd love to. Just let me buy the rest of my groceries." Kyo smiled, turning to pay for them at the empty checkout line.

"Sure we'll wait for you outside."


After missing two cabs in the freezing snow and a half hour ride, Tohru and Kyo sat a table with a cup of tea.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I don't have much time. Yuu's pre-school teacher will be here to pick her up soon so I can go to work," Tohru giggled.

"No problem. But while we have time, I'd like to ask how you've been doing? What's your current job?"Kyo conversed, sipping herbal tea as Yuu played with two dolls in the corner.

"Oh, I'm a uh…waitress!" she exclaimed. "How are you? You seem much different from back when we were kids. A lot more…calm."

"Well, I met the love of my life and got a job as an assistant vet."

"Really? That's great," Tohru approved. "I'd love to meet your girlfriend."

"Actually, you already know them."

A young blond teenager burst into the room.

"Hello Miss Honda. I'm here to take your daughter to the daycare."

"Thank you." Tohru smiled and turned to face Yuu. "Sweetie, Mrs. Yang is here."

With the excitement of a monkey, Yuu lunged at her mother.

"I love you mommy! Bye." she smiled and ran to .

"Bye."

and Yuu soon left the room, leaving the adults to their tea. Suddenly the air grew cold and Kyo began to glare.

"So, who's the father?"


Please review everyone. I usually write Yaoi/Shonen Ai stories, but decided to take a break. You can still read them if you like that kinda thing. Plus, they're not "M" rated. So, please review and keep reading. Enjoy!
