The tension between Yuki and Kyo had not cleared by school the next morning. If anything it had gotten worse. They still didn't say anything to each other, much less look at each other, on the walk to school. Tohru, again, took at as a good sign since they weren't even fighting and enjoyed what she thought was comfortable silence between the two.
"Uo! Hana!" Tohru called out running to catch up with them. Kyo and Yuki followed not wanting to be left alone again. Tohru started talking to Uo and Hana with Kyo and Yuki right behind her still looking at the ground. Both of Tohru's friends noticed this and gave them a suspicious look.
"Prince, carrot top, what's wrong?" Uo said more out of curiosity then concern.
"Uh…" Yuki tried to reply when Hana let out a pained groan as she clutched her head.
"H-Hana! Are you alright!" Tohru said rushing to Hana's side. Saki snapped her head up to look at the two boys who were now giving her frightened looks.
"Your waves give me a headache." Yuki and Kyo went wide eyed at her statement.
"Yuki, Kyo, is anything wrong?" Tohru asked concerned.
"Well, uh…" Yuki said scratching his head.
"N-no." Kyo managed to stutter. Yuki again freaked out a little inside.
"Are you sure? You know I'm here to help!"
"Damnit Tohru there is nothing going on!" Kyo snapped as he let out a frustrated sound. "Screw this place! I'm skipping today." Kyo said rather loudly as he began to ran away with Tohru calling after him.
"Oh Kyo! It's not a good idea to skip! Kyo! Kyo! Oh no!" Tohru said frantically. "Yuki can you please go get him." Tohru said with wide puppy eyes. Yuki cringed at the task but eventually he nodded reluctantly and chased after him.
"Are you sure that was a good idea Tohru?" Uo said scratching her head. "You know those two really hate each other."
Tohru looked at her and smiled. "Oh no Uo! Kyo and Yuki have actually been dating! I know I shouldn't have told you but I am just so happy! Although, they haven't even officially told me yet." Tohru said slumping a little.
Uo and Hana gave her a shocked and confused look.
"What do you mean they've been dating? One, I was sure that they weren't… that way. And second it's pretty clear that they kind of despise each other's existence." 'Besides it's obvious that those two have enormous crushes on you.'
"Oh no! Shigure told me this. They were dating for awhile and then they were driven apart somehow, I don't exactly know the whole story but Shigure and I are determined to get them back together. Mostly because Shigure found these letters that they had written to each other in the trash. The writing was so marvelous that he sealed them back up and had me put them in their lockers. Ever since they haven't fought once! Isn't that marvelous!"
Tohru completely oblivious to how ridiculous she was sounding still sported a huge smile on her face. Uo and Hana were wide eyed when Uo started snickering slightly, Hana followed.
'That sneaky writer is gonna get one hell of a beating once this comes out.' Uo thought to herself regaining her composure.
"You're right Tohru that is wonderful. But you know what I think? I think you should go tell them right now that you love them being together, that you are totally okay with it!"
"Arisa?" Hana said coking an eyebrow.
"I do really want to tell them that I would love for them to keep on dating, oh but, what about school?"
"Tohru! Don't you think this is more important? Telling two of your closest friends that you except them is something anyone wants to hear! We'll come up with an excuse for your tardy and take extra detailed notes that you can copy off of during lunch." Uo said. Tohru's eyes sparkled.
"You're right! Thank you so much Uo! I am going to tell them right now!" Tohru said running off. Once Tohru was out of earshot Uo began cracking up hysterically.
"Arisa, are you sure that was wise?" Hana asked.
"Not at all, but I want to see the look on the prince and carrot top's face when I mess with them for this. Poor Tohru." Uo said with a chuckle.

Kyo had run near the far end of the campus and stopped to take in some air. That's when Yuki found him. At first that uncomfortable silence filled them. Yuki tried his best to push past it.
"What the hell was that you stupid cat? You have no right to talk to Ms. Honda that way." Yuki said darkly.
"Whatever, it wasn't any of her business." Kyo said looking up at Yuki with a glare.
"You know you really bug me with that attitude of yours. You remind me of a five year old." This sent Kyo over the edge as he snapped up and grabbed Yuki by the collar with both hands.
"Well your attitude reminds me a lot of a devious bastard!" Kyo said pulling his face closer to Yuki's so that he could glare at him even more intensely, Yuki, of course, returned the glare with an even harsher one. Honestly, Kyo was fully ready to punch him in the face when…
"Eep!"
Both boys looked toward Tohru who had quickly turned away from the scene. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt! Please go back to whatever you were doing!" Tohru said with a blush very heavy on her cheeks as she ran away frantically.
It took the two boys a minute to process what had just happened. Then it occurred to Kyo what position they were in. Kyo had Yuki close to his face with his collar in his hands. If they had a slightly softer expression and if the person who saw them had a mind just as corrupted as Tohru they could've really looked like they were about to kiss each other.
"WHAT?!?! NO! NO! NO! DEFINITELY NOT!! WHERE THE HELL DOES SHE GET THESE IDEAS!?!?!" Kyo said.
"Well you should know!" Yuki shouted back.
"WHAT THE HELL?!?! HOW SHOULD I KNOW?!?! UNLESS YOU TOLD HER ABOUT THAT STUPID LETTER YOU SENT ME!!! YOU MUST'VE PUT SOME IDEAS IN HER HEAD!!!"
"LETTER?! WHAT LETTER?!? YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SENT ME THAT STUPID LOVE NOTE!!!!!" Yuki snapped back the tension finally getting to him.
"What?!?! No I didn't!!" Kyo said calming down a bit.
"Well then what is this??" Yuki said pulling out the letter from his backpack and handing it to Kyo.
Kyo read through the letter and gave a disgusted face. "What the-?? I didn't write this!"
"You… didn't?"
"Hah! Like I'd write anything this girly." Kyo said ripping up the letter.
"Well that's what I thought! But then you started acting strange around me." Yuki stated.
"Well that's because I thought I got a letter from you. I started acting weird around you because well… I did expect you to write something this girly." Kyo said simply.
"And the fact that I hate every fiber of your being never entered your mind?"
"Uh… well, I guess not."
"Idiot." Yuki mumbled. Kyo let himself ignore Yuki for the moment and turned his focus back to the situation at hand.
"Well then wait a minute, then who put the letters in our lockers? And why has Tohru been sucked into this?"
"Tohru?" Yuki asked now becoming even more interested.
"Haven't you noticed she's been acting extremely weird around us?"
"It has to be her friends then. It definitely sounds like something they would do."
"Ugh! I'm gonna kill that damn Yankee!" Kyo shouted.

"Tohru? Are you alright? What happened?" Uo asked coming up to Tohru sitting at her desk blush still very heavy on her face and she was looking down at her hands.
"Oh nothing Uo. I was just a little startled that's all."
"Startled?" Hana questioned.
"I think I walked in on a private moment Yuki and Kyo were having I feel as though I may have ruined their moment."
"Wait a minute, you actually saw them?! Together?!?" Uo asked.
"Yes. But I'm glad they worked things out. But in all the commotion I was unable to tell them how I felt." Tohru said casually while Hana and Uo continued to get over this.
'That pervert wasn't lying!' Uo thought as her eyes widened. She just couldn't picture it. At that moment Kyo and Yuki walked through the door. Kyo was glaring at them but then again he was always glaring.
"Tohru are you sure you saw them together?" Hana asked suspiciously.
Tohru nodded. Hana and Uo smiled devilishly.
"I wonder how the Prince's fan girl will react." Uo said her lips curving into a sly smile.
