Italics Thoughts

Chapter 3

After finishing his meal and helping Tohru with the dishes, Yuki stepped outside for some fresh air; still hung up on the thought of Kyo staying with them. Not to mention his vulgar language and impolite behavior, Kyo had the nerve to hurt Momiji! He was certainly someone Yuki didn't want to associate with.

Taking a calming breath, Yuki went to a horse tied up by the house, untying her and climbing on.

"Time to put you away, Luna," he petted the horse before steering her in the direction of the stables.

Leaned against the back of the house, a silent Kyo masked himself in the shadows, watching Yuki ride off on the horse.

Wears pink and rides horses. Kyo made a face. Fag bastard.

Hearing steps, Kyo retreated closer to the house, watching who he didn't know was Tohru, approach from inside. However, she didn't seem to notice him, for she was covering up the plants near him, humming a cheerful tune.

Misjudging the attentiveness of the girl compared to his ability to remain unseen, Kyo went to slip away while her back was turned, only to draw her attention to the sudden sound stones shifting beneath shoes.

"Hello?" She stuttered, slowly turning.

Only seeing Kyo's shadow, and assuming the worse, Tohru brought her foot into his shin, smacking him in the head with her fist.

"What the hell was that for?" Kyo flinched, though he barely felt the assault. "Who the hell are you and what the fuck is wrong with you?!"

As if she didn't hear him, Tohru stared straight ahead, eyes bulging and breaths getting shorter. Blinking and only stepping back from her, Kyo looked at her with antipathy.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He repeated, again receiving no response.

Tears suddenly falling from the girls eyes, she cried out, rocking herself back and forth. Yuki, who was walking back from the stables, dashed over upon seeing the girl in such an unfortunate state, assuming Kyo had done to her what he had to Momiji.

"You damned cat! What did you do to Tohru?!" He demanded shoving Kyo away from her.

"What the hell is your problem? I didn't do anything to this crazy bitch! She attacked me!" Kyo yelled.

"Why should I believe you?" Yuki demanded. "You're just a worthless gang leader!"

"I aint gonna let you talk to me like that!" Kyo raised his fist.

"Oh no!" Tohru shook her head, "Don't fight! This is all my fault! I'm sorry…I didn't mean to…!"

His concern for Tohru greater than his detestation for Kyo, Yuki ended their squabble, and pulled the girl into a hug.

"No! Momma! Where are you?! No! Don't leave! Please!"

Disgusted with the two, Kyo took that opportunity to find a new hiding spot, and darted off.

"Tohru, snap out of it," Yuki said, "It's okay."

Slipping back into the safer reality, Tohru opened her eyes, her eyes quickly drying.

"I'm so sorry Yuki," she said, "I didn't mean to…I mean…I know! I'll go make dinner. You must be hungry."

Before Yuki could say anything, Tohru smiled her appreciation and ended their embrace, heading back to the kitchen. Instead of stopping her, for fear she would have another episode, Yuki headed for the living room, where Momiji played with an old dog they'd rescued several years earlier.

"Are you two having fun Momiji?" Yuki smiled.

"Ya!" He said happily, "I'ma take her for a walk."

Searching under the couch for her leash, Momiji clipped it on, leading the energetic dog outside.

"Don't go too far," Yuki told him.

"K!" Momiji replied.

A few moments after Momiji left, Hatori entered the room, glancing at the door.

"Yuki, where's Momiji going with…what did we name that thing again?" He asked.

"Sophie," Yuki replied, "And it's not a thing, she's a dog. Even if she does want to eat your stuffed seahorses you shouldn't refer to her as a thing."

Though Yuki was grinning, Hatori dismissed the comment, changing subjects.

"I need to talk to you," he admitted, "About Kyo."

"What about him?" Yuki's tone was instantaneously bitter.

"Shigure brought Kyo here so he could get away from his destructive life," Hatori began, "In the city he was a gang leader; as I've told you, probably because his parents didn't care for him when he needed them to the most. I need you to keep him out of trouble while he's here. I'm making him your responsibility."

"What?" Yuki demanded, "You expect me to babysit that…!"

"Yuki," Hatori said harshly, "He's a guest in this house now. And explain Tohru to him, I haven't told him yet. Okay?"

Realizing he was going to lose the argument if he complained or not, Yuki was silent as Hatori turned to leave.

"Do we have any cookies left?"

"…Yes, but Tohru's making dinner," Yuki replied.

"Again?" Hatori asked. "Didn't she already make dinner? Oh and before I forget, Aaya called. He wanted to talk to you."

Without further ado, Hatori stepped into the kitchen and left Yuki alone with his thoughts, while the pissed off Kyo ran for the first place he could actually hide; the forest.
