Chapter 1

'Til the cows come home

" Toooohruuuu!" Shigure's voice wafted its way into the kitchen, where it became mainstream with the rest of the screams rattling around the house.

" BLOODY RAT! JUST SHUDDUP ALREADY!"

" I will, if you will!"

" AH! Yes Shigure- san!" Tohru ducked as she exited the kitchen, as one of Shigures ornaments went hurtling past, dodged easily by the rat, who had been the original recipient.
" Could you please run down to the store for me? I believe I'm out of printer paper, and I must stay and look after these two little cherubs!" Shigure said pleasantly, eyeing the two teens, who were basically tearing his house apart.

" Oh, of coarse I can!" Tohru replied rather frantically, trying to erase the panic from her face as yet another object whirled towards Yuki, who once again, darted out of the way, letting it shatter against the wall.

" Ah yes…what lovely tenants I have!" Shigure smiled, grasping his hands together under the long sleeves of his yukata, so they were no longer visible.

Tohru gave a nervous laugh,

" Uh…I'll… I'll be off then!" she stated, sprinting for the door, before she had the chance to get in the way of the squabbling duo, that were beginning to move their fight towards the front porch.

The day was working its way into late afternoon, and Shigure had been struggling for peace and quite for a whole of what seemed like days now, that had only turned out to be a maximum of twelve hours. Yuki and Kyo had been fighting all day, over one single comment;

" I know you like Haru, Yuki. It's so obvious a frikin kid could figure that out! And I mean kid as in baby goat!" Kyo had screamed as a comeback for one of Yukis insults, not at all realising the truths behind this… and Yuki wasn't at all pleased. Of coarse, we all know Yuki never starts fights, he simply provokes them, and before long, Kyo was pegging object after object at the rat. So now Shigures lovely, well kept house, had to pay the price of Kyos mistake.
" BLOODY RAT! Think you're all high and mighty!" Kyo screamed, hoisting…the…table? Up over his head, a large irritation make present on his temple.

" Oh my" Shigure said in slight alarm, " now, now Kyo, we mustn't throw tables across the house, it's bad manners"

" Shut up you damn dog!" Kyo spat, his grip faltering as he tried to hold the large heap of wood above his head, while exhausting most of his energy on yelling.

Yuki sighed, stepping backwards out of his defensive position and slouched his shoulders momentarily as he exhaled,

" I'm going upstairs" he stated, turning on his heels and marching up towards his bedroom, Kyo throwing an absolutely murderous glare at the back of his head.

Shigure sighed, withdrawing back into his office and filing the papers on his desk away. This was just the norm, for the Sohmas.

Tohru quickened her pace as the light in the sky became weaker.

" Newsagent….um, oh, there it is!" scurrying quickly in and out of the corner store, she hitched the large parcel of wrapped paper up onto her hip, and began the trying task of carting it back home, down the now very dark streets. The hairs on the back of her neck bristled at any slight noise, as her paranoia got the better of her, passing down a rather haunted looking road.

"Hey"
" AH!" almost dropping the paper in her hands, Tohru spun around to see a dark figure stalking towards her, " h-hello"

" Why are you out so late at night?"

" I…um…I, was just getting this for a friend…and…and"

" Shigure sent you out this late at night?"
" Oh, well… huh?"

The stoic face of Haru poked its way through the shadows, and Tohru let out a sigh of relief as the cow came to a halt in front of her.

" Not good weather to be walking either, looks like it's going to rain any moment now" letting out a yawn, Haru turned his gaze blankly to the pitch black sky that was littered with the smoky outlines of rain filled clouds. Tohru followed this notion, and gazed upwards,

" Ek, I'd better get moving then" the brown haired girl squeaked, taking a step forwards in the opposite direction.
" Hey, wait"

" Hmm?" Tohru turned to look over her shoulder at the boy,

" Has Hatori called your house yet?"

" Uh…no…why? Tohru blinked

----------------------------------------------------------------------

" Ha'ri! What a pleasant surprise! And to what do I owe the pleasure of your call?" Shigure greeted the dragon happily, pressing the receiver up against his ear. Kyo and Yuki, who had before been staring daggers into each other from across the table, now looked up at the dog, as mumbles came from the other end of the line.

" Ohhhhh, I seeeee" Shigure nodded, raising a hand to his chin in thought, " well, that's not a problem at all! Hatsuharu can stay with us!"

" WHAT?" both the teens behind him were now on their feet, fists clenched. Shigure payed them no attention, however, keeping one ear open for any flying objects. More mumbled instructions were pouring into Shigures ear, of coarse, he gave them little to no attention, and let his brain sensor out all the 'boring' stuff.

" Yes, yes Ha'ri I know…mmhhmmm…mmhmmm…ok! Then it's settled. Now? Oh, well, that's ok, I'm sure Tohru wouldn't mind cooking for one more. Very well then. Take care Ha'ri!" placing the phone back on its stand, he turned to face the other two male tenants of his household -who looked quite ready to haul Shigure through the closest wall- and grinned.

----------------------------------------------------

" Really!"

Haru nodded, his face still expressionless.

" That's wonderful! Oh dear, do I have enough food for everyone?…Haru how much do you eat? Oh, ek…" the brown haired girl stuttered frantically.

" I don't eat much" Haru yawned, placing both his hands into the pockets of his pants.

" Oh, are you sure? …ok then, well, let's head back then!"

And with that, the two teens set off at a leisurely pace down the street, speeding upas small spits of rain began to threaten for a bigger storm.

---------------------------------------------------------

" Why the angry faces?" Shigure asked, pulling an exaggerated, sulky face.

" I don't want that damn cow staying here! How long is Hatori going to be away!" Kyo spat, still not quite over his anger of Yukievading every single one of his attacks, and it seemed Shigure had just re-lit the fire.

Yuki had said nothing so far. His expression trying to find an even balance between absolute outrage, and slight worry. He was all too aware of Harus feelings for him, but he just couldn't return them, and when the cow was around, it always made him feel…uncomfortable…

" My, my…it's getting rather late, I hope Tohru's ok." Shigure pondered, sitting himself down at the open front door,

" You didn't answer my question!" Kyo hissed,
" Oh, not sure how long Ha'ri's going to be out for…few days, weeks, years, who knows"

" GAAAH!"

" You sent miss Honda out at this time of night?" Yuki asked in a stoic tone, not even looking up from the newspaper he had since taken much interest in.

But, Shigure had no time to argue his point, as the said Tohru Honda poked her head around the corner of the front lawn, and Shigure sighed with relief. Following right behind her, was the ever bored looking Hatsuharu, who stared right ahead at the dog, receiving a happy wave from the older man, who removed himself from the door way to let the two in.

Harus eyes connected with Yuki, and Yukis eyes stayed connected with the words in the newspaper, trying his best to ignore the cows presence. Tohru said a quick hello to everyone, before rushing to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

" Ahhh, up to usual standards, my lovely Tohru" Shigure cooed, lifting his head to take in the scent of frying fish and rice that was wafting out into the dining area. Haru now had hold of Yukis arm, his head resting against the teens shoulder, a very dazed, yet happy look spread across his face. Yuki looked thoroughly displeased with this, and Kyo looked even worse. Trying to force back his opinions of disgust, the cat tried to amuse himself with the cutlery that had been placed in front of them. Unfortunately this only made situations worse, as the knife was stabbed fair into the woodwhen Haru leant a little further into Yukis side.

" GOD! Would you two just get a frikin room!"

"…"

" Dinner's ready!" Tohru sung, as she bought dish upon dish of food out, and placed it in front of the group, trying to ignore the now very tense atmosphere that had followed Kyos comment. They ate in silence, Haru glaring at Kyo, Yuki glaring at Kyo, and Kyo glaring back at both of them with the strength of two people. Shigure and Tohru sweat dropped. Maybe this…wasn't such a good idea after all…?
