Chapter 2: When Hunger Strikes

Yuki was sitting on his bed finishing his homework. Hmm, where's Tohru? Thought Yuki. She should be here by now. He looked at his watch. Eight thirty. Didn't she leave at six o'clock?

Then, his stomach started to grumble. "Ugh, hungry…" He murmured. I should eat something- no! I'll just wait for Tohru. She'll come back any time now…

He stood up from his bed and went downstairs to wait at the front door. To his surprise, Kyo was at the front of the house. He heard crashes and bangs. Hm… Thought Yuki. Kyo myst be training in the front. How weird. He's usually in the back of the house when he's training. Oh well, I'll just ignore him. Yuki sat down and continued his homework. But, a constant noises interrupted his thoughts.

swoosh, punch, crack, boom

Swoosh, punch, crack, boom

Swoosh, crack, thwack, boom.

Yuki got really frustrated, anger marks (more than usual) appeared on his forehead. Yuki then opened the sliding door, stepped onto the porch, and yelled "QUIT IT, STUPID CAT!"

"WHY YELL AT ME, DAMN RAT!" Kyo responded loudly.

"BECAUSE, YOU IDIOT, WHO ELSE IS MAKING NOISES!" shouted Yuki at the top of his lungs.

"My, my, what's all the racket!" Shigure interrupted in a mock British accent. "What's wrong with you two? Not that yelling everyday at this house is unusual."

"NOTHING'S WRONG WITH ME! IT'S HIM!" yelled both Yuki and Kyo at the same time, pointing their fingers at each other accusingly.

"STOP YELLING," Shigure yelled in his mock British accent, "OR I SHALL PUT BOTH OF YOU IN THE BRIG!"

"…?" said Yuki.

"Do we even have one?" asked Kyo.

"If we had one, our problems would be solved by now. " Yuki said, leering at Kyo.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY, DAMN RAT!" yelled Kyo furiously.

"QUIET, you peoples!" Shigure says in a rapster tone.

"What's up with that!" asked Yuki and Kyo at the same time.

"STOP COPYING ME, YOU FRICKIN' STUPID CAT!" yelled Yuki (finally exploding).

Kyo was shocked for a few seconds before he yelled back "YOU STOP COPYING ME, YOU DIRTY, STUPID GIRLY-GIRL!"

Yuki yelled, "YOU ARE SO GOING TO PAY, YOU DAMN, STUPID, IGNORAMUS, IDIOT OF A FRICKIN' BEEP CAT!"

Kyo and Shigure stood stunned. Shigure sang, "I'm telling on you to Tohru!"

"SHUT UP!" Kyo and Yuki bursted.

" Sigh," said Shigure, ignoring the remark. "Only Tohru can fix this mess."

Silence follows after that remark, only to be broken by a long, loud, grumble.

"I'm hungry!" whined Shigure.

"She said she was buying a few ingredients for dinner" said Yuki. "But… she's been gone for two hours."

"WHAT!" Kyo yelled in surprise.

"Who's going to cook! My beloved housewife is gone!" Shigure sobbed. "Who's going to cook dinner!"

"Not me!" said Kyo. "I'm looking for Tohru!" With that, Kyo zipped off, leaving Yuki and Shigure to decide.

"Don't look at me." Said Yuki with an I'm-not-doing-it tone. "You stay here." Then, Yuki walked off to look for Tohru.

Shigure silently walked into the house. Is this it? Shigure wondered. Is this why I felt that gloom this morning? I should have known this would happen…

He entered his office, sat down, and turned on the computer. Then, the gloom returned. He could hear the beating of his heart, the beats booming in his head, the rhythm going faster and faster. No… last time I had this… Images flashed through his head. A crying baby with jet black hair, a man on his death bed, and a woman crying.

At this, Shigure started to cry.

Sorry that Tohru is not in this chapter at all! But, don't worry. The next chapter's all about her! I'll try to get that ASAP. Signing off! o
