AN: Some of you will love this chapter. Some will hate it (I suppose). But it has to happen for the story to work. Also, I'm sorry that I'm a little bit late on the update...
Chapter Ten- Many Faces of Yuki
"Hey," said Yuki to the Inu quietly, making sure that no one was listening, "Do you have any idea as to why that baka Neko and Honda-san are whispering?"
"...like we are?" (AN: don't you love him?)
"Er... do you?"
Shigure shook his head slowly, "Nope. You?"
"Not at all... I'm going to talk to Honda-san about it. Would you kindly distract Kyou?"
With a mischievous grin, he nodded.
"I live for it."
-
A knock at the door. She turned about.
"Who is it?"
"Honda-san, it's me, Yuki. May I come it?"
Tohru nodded.
"... ... hello?"
"Oh, yes!" she's forgotten that he couldn't see the nod.
The Nezumi entered.
"May I ask you what Kyou-san and yourself have been whispering about, Honda-san...?
She shuddered. "Eh...? We, um, haven't been talking..."
"I'm not blind, Honda-san." he looked at her coldly.
The Onigiri looked to the floor. "I... I don't think I'm quite ready to tell you, yet, Sohma-kun..."
Yuki lost it. (AN: for the purposes of the whole story, Yuki has to snap, even if it is a bit OOC)
"What is so important that the cursed, damned, neko can know, but the not-nearly-so-damned as the Neko, Nezumi, cannot!"
The Onigiri whimpered. "I-if you w-want to know so b-badly, S-sohma-kun... then you cann-n-not yell at me..."
He calmed, "I... I'm sorry.. I'm just angry. I won't yell. I promise..."
So easily is a promise broken.
Translations-
Inu- Term I'll use for Shigure when I don't use his name; means "dog"
Onigiri- Term I'll use for Tohru when I don't use her name; means "riceball"
Also, as a not on translations, I won't define previously mentioned words, 'kay? So, say, "Nezumi" "-kun" "-san" and such in this chapter won't be done...
