Part 2: Shigure's POV
I could only feel bad as I saw poor Tohru-kun trudge up the stairs, defeated by the common cold once again. However, having her work with an illness is an absolute no-no! She would've fainted within five minutes of the hard labor of cooking and cleaning she usually does! It was a good idea to play the nice guy and the "House Hero" for a day...
Although I didn't plan on doing any of it.
I gave a quiet snicker in my robe sleeve as I thought of Yuki and Kyo doing all the work while I claimed I was doing my part. Ha ha!
"Shigure?"
I spun around to face my confused vict-I-I mean my fellow comrades. Yuki had called me.
"Yeeess?" I had my bemused look on my face.
Yuki looked at the list to assign me my duties. Pff! I could hardly hold back my amusement. "Since we know you're extremely lazy-" Uh oh! "- We'll give you two simple and easy tasks." He gave me a look that told me 'And you WILL do them, Shigure.' "Alright?"
I nodded, hiding my sudden nervousness. I didn't want them to find me out! "I resent that statement, but fine." I crossed my arms and sighed. "What treacherous duties do I have to fulfill??"
Yuki sighed, annoyed by my playful remark. "You can take out that garbage," He told me, pointing out the can which was full, "And sweep the back porch."
"Alright," I said, "I'll do as you say." I began to fake some sobs as I slowly scooted towards the garbage pail. Then, Kyo groaned at me.
"Quit acting like it's the end of the world, you dumbass! You only have two things to do!"
I continued my blubbering act, "Two things too much for me!"
Kyo growled but Yuki cut him off before he yelled at me again. He started telling Kyo what he was assigned to do. I overheard the conversation while I pondered how to escape.
"You can wash the floors, shovel the snow on the pathways outside, and-" Then he was cut off.
"That wasn't on the list!" Kyo complained.
"I know that, but it still needs to be done."
"Why do I have to do it?! Or do it alone, anyway?!"
"Because I decided it so."
Kyo growled furiously and was about to yell again, but I decided to intervene. The yelling was getting to me.
"Ah-ah-ahh! We must be quiet so Tohru-kun can sleep!"
Kyo slowly calmed down, but kept growling. "Fine! What else??"
Yuki sighed. "I will be going out to get groceries and since you can apparently cook, you can make Honda-san something to eat."
Kyo grumbled but agreed.
"Shigure, I do hope you're taking out that garbage." I wasn't sure then, but he must've sent me a glare because I could feel it boring into my back and it made me shiver.
"Ah! Yes, of course I am! Ha ha ha!" I quickly yanked the bag out of the pail, tied it, and scooted towards the door.
So much for my plans.
