"Rice? Is that all you know how to make Kyo?" Shigure whined as he looked down at his plate of plain rice.
"Just eat it you damn mutt!" Kyo roared as he stuffed a scoop of rice into his mouth.
Yuki just poked at his plate and looked at it disgusted, like it was poison or something.
"Can some one explain to me why our little Tohru wasn't up to cooking this evening? Hmmm…Kyo? Yuki?" Shigure eyed both the boys suspiciously.
Both boys quickly glanced at each other. Kyo began stumbling some sort of sentence until Yuki recovered him and said, "She doesn't feel well. She thinks it's from her lunch earlier." Kyo agreed with Yuki's explanation.
Shigure smirked and cocked an eyebrow at both of them, "Now I know neither of you would be lying to me, right?"
Both boys shook their head to his silent accusation.
Shigure chuckled, "Boys I'm surprised! Why do you feel the need to lie to me?"
"But Shigure we're not," Protested Yuki.
"More lies, oh I feel so betrayed!" Shigure moaned dramatically. He was obviously being sarcastic with them. After drying away some imaginary tears he looked at them with a serious look. "Have you boys forgotten that I have an extremely good sense of hearing?"
"How do your doggy ears find us guilty of lying?" Kyo smirked.
"It has everything to do with it actually. Let me explain," Shigure pushed his bowl of rice away, the smell was irritating him. "After eating my voluptuous lunch I went to write more of my story, which I feel, is going to be a great hit. Just when I was getting on a roll with my writing I heard Tohru scream. So like any hero I went to her aid. To my surprise I found her yelling at you two for spying on her while she was bathing."
"Shigure we can completely explain, Kyo here-" Yuki began an explanation before being interruption.
"What! You can't pin this all on me!" Kyo stood up ready to pounce on Yuki who looked so innocent.
"Boys calm down; I'm not going to judge you. You both are getting to that age where you just can't help yourself," both of them looked at Shigure with disbelief. Shigure began scratching his chin, "I wonder if it's time I told you two about the birds and the bees…"
Yuki and Kyo shot up and in unison said, "We've got homework! Bye!" They shot out of the room like a cannonball. Shigure's pride was a little hurt; he had been preparing the talk all afternoon. But suddenly an inspiration hit him and he forgot about the boys.
Tohru sat scrunched up under her covers; her dark hair was still damp.
She thought about what had happened earlier. She just couldn't believe that they saw her naked. If anyone was to spy on her while she was naked, she would think it to be Shigure.
She couldn't help but wonder what Yuki and Kyo thought about her. Were they pleased or disgusted by her?
What was she thinking! It shouldn't matter, what they did was totally wrong and perverted. They should be the ones who feel like dirt right now. For all she knew they could, but she wasn't about to go find out.
School was tomorrow, she should get some rest.
(Morning)
Yuki stumbled into the kitchen, barely awake.
"Morning Yuki!" Shigure cheered as he was reading the morning paper and drinking some green tea.
"Yeah…ugh…where's Miss Honda?" Yuki mumbled as he scratched his tossed bed hair.
Kyo growled, "She left for school extra early to avoid us. How are we ever supposed to apologize to her if she keeps steering clear of us!"
Yuki poured himself a glass of milk and sat down next to Kyo. "I don't know. What we did to her was awful. Maybe she just needs her space."
"Well she couldn't be mad at you two that much. She made your lunches as usual. Don't worry, you'll get a chance to explain yourselves eventually," Shigure looked at the clock, "Your late."
Yuki and Kyo jumped up in alert attention and confirmed that they were late. They grabbed their books and dashed out the door.
"Hmmm, they forgot their lunches," Shigure said to himself. A mischief grin grew on his face. He looked to his left, then right and grabbed the lunches. "I suppose I'll have to go to the school and bring these right to them!"
He put on his coat and made his way to the high school, all the while chanting, "High school girls, high school girls!"
"No way! Those perverts! They really did that! I'll crunch them into little pieces," Uo shouted slamming her hand on her desk. Causing a few surrounding students to stare at her.
"No Uo it's all right. You honestly don't have to do anything. I can take care of it myself," Tohru said shaking her head shyly.
"Little Tohru you couldn't even hurt a fly, let alone take care of two perverts," rebutted Uo.
Hana, with her usual blank expression agreed with Uo. Hana was the one who actually got Tohru to talk about what was bugging her, saying her wavelengths were upsetting.
"Please you guys. Promise you won't do anything. I would really like to try to figure this thing out on my own," pleaded Tohru.
Uo hesitated a bit then said, "All right, but if you need me to knock a few heads around, just let me know."
Just as she finished speaking, the two peeping toms entered class, huffing from running.
The teacher called order to start class, the boys tried to get close to Tohru in order to apologize, but Uo and Hana stared them down.
Finally lunch came around; Yuki figured he could talk to Tohru then.
"Miss Honda, can I please have a word with you?" Yuki asked as the class let out. Tohru just nodded silently.
He pulled her outside and stayed close to the outside wall.
"Look, about yesterday. I can not express how horrible I feel that it happened."
"You mean you're sorry that you got caught?" retorted Tohru.
Yuki shook his head, "That's not at all what I meant Miss Honda. I'm ashamed of what I did, so is Kyo. We should have respected your privacy."
"Well you're right, you should have," Tohru crossed her arms.
"I'll make it up to you in any way that I can," Yuki's face was totally sincere.
"No, we'll make it up to you. I'm sorry about peeking on you and for yelling at you the other day," Kyo had suddenly joined them.
"Well actually I have an idea on how you two can repay what you did. Follow me," Tohru started walking away and they followed, wondering what they could possibly do at school to repay her.
Tohru led them into a deserted classroom.
"What are we doing in here Tohru?" Kyo asked a bit shady on the whole idea of what was happening.
"Don't worry about that, I just needed to be somewhere where no one would see," Tohru smiled coyly.
"To see what?" Yuki said now being just as skittish as Kyo.
Before they knew it, Tohru had her arms around both of them and POOF!
"Tohru! What are you doing?" Kyo screeched, now in the form of an orange cat. Yuki popped out of his clothes as a cute little grey rat.
Tohru picked up their clothes and stuff them into her bag. She scooped up Yuki and Kyo and shoved them into her bag as well. Of course they protested, but what could they truly do.
Quickly Tohru made her way to the lunch room and headed for a corner. She let Yuki and Kyo out and rushed away to where Hana and Uo were.
"Tohru, what did Prince Yuki want?" Uo mocked Yuki's fan girl name.
"Well actually it was Kyo and him. They just wanted to apologize. They said they'd do anything to repay me," Tohru began to take out her lunch, which was buried under the boys' clothes.
"Anything? Well then maybe we should take them up on that offer…" Uo said.
"Already have," smirked Tohru.
Both Uo and Hana were about to ask what she had done but suddenly the room was full of girl screams.
Suddenly Kyo and Yuki appear from under a table of girls. Worse enough they were head of the Yuki fan club.
Kyo and Yuki ran quickly out of the lunch room covering their, ahem, private parts with their hands.
Uo and Hana's mouths were dropped to the floor. Tohru smiled at them, pulled the clothes from her bag and followed where they had left.
Hidden in the boys bathroom, Yuki and Kyo locked themselves in separate stalls.
"I can't believe she did that!" Kyo grunted.
"Yes, that was a bit out of place for Miss Honda. She could have easily exposed us. Thankfully no one saw us in our zodiac form," Yuki's heart was pounding. He couldn't even begin to think about how he would cover up his and Kyo's naked slip.
"I suppose it was what we deserved anyways. But it was still way out of line," Kyo huffed.
"Yeah but how do we get our clothes back?" Yuki asked feeling insecure about what had happened.
Tohru had figured the boys had gone into the bathroom. She confirmed this when she heard them talking inside.
She looked around herself, seeing no one was around, and entered the bathroom.
"All right boys, I have your clothes. We're even now," she said throwing each of them their uniform over the stalls.
Yuki came out dressed first; Kyo was having trouble dressing in the tiny small.
"Tohru, I understand why you did what you did. But remember we have placed trust in you with our secret. What you did could have easily exposed us," Yuki said straightening his wrist cuffs.
"I know, it was really unsafe of me to do, but you two needed a lesson. I figured this was the best way to go about it," she explained now realizing she was in the boys bathroom, which wasn't quite sweet smelling or sanitary.
Kyo finally exited the stall glaring at Tohru.
"You were irresponsible. Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was for us?" He shouted.
She looked at him and plainly stated, "Yes, as a matter of fact I do."
Guilt filled both of the boys. All three of them shuffled in the silence moments that followed.
"I think it's best if we all go home and talk this out. Shigure can call later to excuse us," Yuki said now leading them out of the bathroom.
"Actually he can do it now. I saw him when I was coming to find you two. He came over to drop off the lunches you left. He was busy chatting with some female students, enchanting them with his writing ability," Tohru giggled.
Kyo didn't speak much; he was pretty ticked about what Tohru had done.
They slipped out of school easily.
"Tohru, I hope you know that if Akito finds out what you did, he might well you know," Yuki quietly said this.
"Oh," was all Tohru could say. She never thought about it that way.
"Yeah, but we won't say anything, right Kyo?" Kyo didn't say anything, just grunted. Tohru was relieved.
They finally reached the house. When they entered they smelled tea coming from the living room.
"I guess Shigure is back," Yuki said as they all entered the dining room. Tohru wasn't paying attention and said, "Shigure do I have any requests for dinner?"
Suddenly all three of them froze and fixated on the person before them.
"Hello Tohru Honda. I believe we have a matter to discuss," said the cold voice of Akito.
A/N:
Ok well there you have it, the second chapter. Thanks everyone for the reviews on the first chapter, I really appreciate it. Also sorry for the writing errors in the first chapter, I re-read this one a few times, I am pretty sure the mistakes are limited to a few. (That is if there is some I over looked). Thanks again!
