Sub-Story Title: An Apple A Day Makes The Doctor Stay?
Fruit of Choice: Apple
Pairing of Choice: Slight Yukiru
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but Yuki was positive this wasn't how it was supposed to be. That day, after school, Yuki had walked home, Tohru at his side. The stupid cat, of course, was no where to be found, but it's not like Yuki cared.
"We're home, Shigure," Yuki said, peeking into his office.
Shigure looked up, glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.
"Did Kyo walk home with you?"
"I think he might have went to the dojo," Yuki mumbled, heading up the stairs to his room.
He could hear Tohru humming in the kitchen, and he smiled to himself. She could make him forget everything with just one simple gesture. Placing his bag on his bed, he loosened his tie and walked back down the stairs.
"Oh, Yuki, would you care for a snack?"
Yuki nodded at Tohru, and she placed a plate in front of him when he sat down. Just as he was about to speak, Kyo came stormed in the house, eyes narrowed in anger.
"Oh Kyo, would you-"
"No."
Kyo brushed by Tohru and Yuki, racing up the stairs moments later.
"Just ignore him, Miss Honda. He's always in a bad mood, that stupid cat."
"Stop talking about me!" Came a voice from above them.
Yuki smirked, finishing his snack and putting the plate in the sink.
"Let's go to the secret base, what do you say?" Yuki asked.
"Oh yes! I wonder if we can pick anything!" Tohru exclaimed, removing the apron she had put on minutes prior.
Yuki grabbed their gardening tools, and Tohru happily followed him down the path. It was a warm Spring afternoon, no hint of chilliness in the air. They walked side by side in a comfortable silence before Yuki broke it.
"Ah Miss Honda, I want to know something."
"Hm? What is it Yuki?"
"Well, you don't mind do you? What I mean to say is, you won't mind if I called you just Tohru right?" Yuki asked, flushing slightly.
Said girl beamed at him brightly.
"Oh no no! I would love it, Yuki! We are great friends now, and I am happy to know that you'll call me by name." Tohru exclaimed.
Yuki let out the breath he had been holding and grinned. "That's good. Thank you Miss H-I mean Tohru."
Tohru blushed slightly as the sound of her name passed Yuki's lips. She had to admit that it felt nice to hear it from Yuki.
"Do you think the strawberries are ready?"
"Uh...what?" Tohru asked, shaking her head slightly.
Yuki chuckled. "The strawberries. Do you think they are ready?"
Tohru noticed that they had already arrived at Yuki's secret base, and he was kneeling down looking at the crops he had planted. She kneeled beside him, taking her gloves from him with a thank you.
"They look ready!" She said, smiling. "What about the leeks?"
"They look good too. We'll have leeks for dinner and strawberries for dessert. How does that sound, Tohru?"
"It sounds absolutely delicious. Oh, but I forgot to bring a basket."
"Let me go get one, Tohru."
"It's okay, Yuki! Just stay here, and I'll be right back."
Yuki watched as Tohru's braids bounced behind her when she took off running for the house again.

"Damn rat, damn rat," Kyo chanted to himself while he was lounging on the roof.
He watched Tohru come out of the forest and head into the house. He sat up, alight with curiosity. When he saw her come out of the house with a basket, he knew Tohru and that damn rat were gardening again.
In his peripheral vision, something red bounced into view, causing him to look away from Tohru's retreating form. Two shiny red apples bobbed on the tree branch nearest him on the roof, and he reached out, grasping one in his hand. He pulled it, and the apple came off easily. He turned it over in his hand, surveying the juicy fruit.
This is one tough apple. I bet if the damn rat were to get hit with one of these, it might just throw him off his guard...Kyo smirked to himself, standing up on the roof, poised and ready for attack. He was too anxious to sit down, and he trembled with glee when he could see a shadow of someone carrying a basket weave its way through the trees.
"Damn rat," he muttered. "Always has to be helpful to Tohru."
When the shadow was closer, Kyo pulled his arm back and let the fruit fly.
"Eat this you damn rat!" He called.
The apple whistled through the air and smacked the person on the head. Kyo watched, smiling, as the damn rat fell to the ground.
"Score one!" Kyo yelled. "What do you think of that rat boy?"
"Tohru?" Yuki called, shaking her by the arm.
"Ah...Yuki? My head hurts..."
"I'll have Shigure call Hatori. Can you stand?"
"I think so..."
Yuki helped Tohru to her feet and picked up the discarded basket. He led Tohru through the trees and looked up at the stupid cat on the roof. Said cat was standing there, mouth agape. Yuki narrowed his eyes.
"Did you do this?" He asked dangerously.
Kyo shut his mouth and frowned. "S'not my fault, kay? It was an accident."
"Accident? Tohru could have been seriously injured you stupid cat. You thought it was me, didn't you?"
Kyo didn't say anything back to Yuki. He laid back on the roof again and listened as Shigure made the call to Hatori.

Standing by her bed, Yuki winced as he looked at the notable purple bruise on her forehead.
"Have her take this medication for the headaches. I'll come visit her tomorrow. And Shigure? Just what was she hit with?" Hatori asked.
"I'm not sure...I'll ask Kyo and Yuki later though."
"When you figure it out, let me know."
Yuki heard Hatori go down the stairs and out the front door. Shigure returned to his office, and after glancing at Tohru once more, Yuki made his way to the roof. When he got there, he gritted his teeth. The stupid cat was asleep!
Grabbing Kyo up by his collar, Yuki threw him off the roof. Kyo woke up just in time to feel a face plant to the cold hard ground.
"Damn you, rat boy!"
"What did you hit Tohru with?" Yuki asked
Kyo picked something up from the ground and threw it at Yuki. The apple whizzed by his head, but he knew what it was now.
"You missed, you stupid cat," Yuki muttered, grabbing the other apple he saw from the tree branch.
"Don't call me stupid!" Kyo fumed.
Yuki smirked and sent the apple down to Kyo, who had turned his head away from Yuki. The apple bounced nicely off the cat's head, and Kyo clutched his head in pain.
"What was that for you rat boy?!"
"That was for Tohru."
Yuki jumped off the roof and entered the house again, calling up Hatori.
"Hatori? This is Yuki. Tohru was hit in the head by an apple."
"An apple, Yuki? No apple can make a bruise that large."
"They can if they are thrown by stupid cats."
"I see. Grab the ice pack out of the freezer too. When she wakes up, have her put it on her forehead."
"All right. Goodbye Hatori."
Yuki did as the good doctor requested, and when he had climbed the stairs, Tohru was sitting up in her bed.
"How did I...get here?" She asked.
"I brought you up, with the help of Shigure and Hatori. Place this on your forehead." Yuki said, holding out the icepack, wrapped in a towel.
Tohru touched her forehead bruise and winced.
"You were hit by an apple. The stupid cat threw it."
"And they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away," Tohru mused.
Yuki laughed and handed her the ice pack.
"Well, I'm sure that you are a special case."
Hehe. I enjoyed typing that. I've always wondered what would happen when you hit someone with an apple, but here it is!
Reviews, as always, are appreciated.
