Hi people. I am terribly sorry that you had to wait so long for more chapters. School was a drag and I also had major writers block. I seriously had no ideas what to put for the next chapter. But as you can see, I'm back and ready for more writing. I hope you are satisfied with this next chapter. It might not be that great since I haven't been working on it for a while but I tried to put all my effort into it. So anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Morning had come and all was quiet in the house, for everyone was asleep but one.
Tohru, as always, woke up early to prepare breakfast and do the morning chores. She was in the kitchen making rice while she was sweeping the floor.
After she opened the fridge to see what there was to accompany the rice. Unfortunately, the fridge was empty. She straightened up and thought. What in the world should she do? Then she decided to go the market.
She quickly wrote a note and stuck it on the table in the living room. She knew she would have to be fast. She didn't want the boys to wake up and find no food. Plus the fact that she wasn't there.
She scrambled to get her purse then she ran out the door.
It was a bright day with the sun shining proudly. The skies were clear and there was a soft breeze. Today was a perfect day. Tohru was a sort of glad that there wasn't any food in the fridge. It was a good time to go out.
She began to hum as she made her way out to town. Once she arrived at the market she bumped into Uo and Hana.
"Hey Tohru. How's everything going?" Uo asked with her optimistic face.
"Nothing really Uo. Just going to the market to get some food."
"I see." Hana said quietly. She was being her mysterious self as always.
"So, what are you guys doing her?" Tohru put on a happy face even though she had to hurry back home to make breakfast.
"Well me a Hana were going to see a movie. Then we met up with you."
Uo seemed happier than usual. Something good must have happened to her.
"Indeed. We are going to see a movie that Uo begged me to watch." Hana said a little irritated.
"Yah! It's a movie about this biker gang having this big clash with another group. There's going to be a lot of action in it. Hana didn't want to go at first but then I managed to change her mind."
Tohru laughed at the thought of Uo begging Hana to go see the movie.
"Well anyways I got to go. I have to hurry back before the guys know I left."
With a good-bye the three parted. Torhu rushed back as fast as she could. She glanced at her watch and realized that it was getting late. The boys were bound to be up by now.
"Gah!! I have to hurry!"
Finally, exhausted, Torhu returned home and sprinted for the kitchen. She worked as fast the speed of light. Kyou, just waking up, walked into the kitchen to find this. He had a stunned expression seeing Torhu here and there, cooking. He slowly backed away into the dinning room and sat down. He chuckled a bit to himself. 'Man, that Torhu. What's with her today? Huh, I'm pretty sure there isn't any special occasion today. I wonder what's up.'
Torhu then rushed into the room to set the table when she saw Kyou. Kyou looked up a little taken by surprise while Tohru was frantic.
"Oh!! Kyou, I didn't know you were up. I'm sorry that breakfast isn't ready yet. I had to get some stuff and the store and I tried to come back before you guys were up and-"
"Hey, don't kill yourself for us."
Kyou got up and looked at her in a serious but endearing way. He took the plates from Torhu and began setting the table without another word. Torhu watched for a moment with a confused face, wondering why Kyou was being so kind as to help her.
"Hey, don't forget your still cooking. You don't want anything to burn." Kyou reminded her.
"Waahh!! I'm sorry." Tohru squealed as she rushed back into the kitchen.
Kyou laughed to himself again as he followed her to help.
In the mean time, Yuki slowly mad his way downstairs rubbing his eyes. He was cursing to himself. He hated waking up in the mornings. As he was about to take the last step off the stairs a Whoosh passed by in a flash leaving Yuki spazzed.
"Damnit Shigure…" Yuki mumbled.
Yuki finally made it to the dining room and took his seat. He glanced at Shigure who was bouncing in his seat with joy. You could practically see a tail behind him swinging with excitement.
"Oh Lord! Bless this woman and her fine cooking!!" Shigure preached happily as he began to chow down.
Yuki sighed as he was about to eat. Just before he was going to take his first bite he noticed Kyou making eye contact with Tohru and staring at her when she wasn't looking. Yuki annoyed took a bite and chewed angrily. Tohru glanced at Yuki and frowned a little.
"Is everything ok Yuki? Is something wrong with the food?"
"Oh don't worry. Yuki isn't a morning person and is always grouchy."
Suddenly a force game at Kyou and nailed him in the face. He landed against the wall as he tried to regain his balance.
"What the hell was that for?!" Kyou yelled.
Yuki didn't respond as he finished his food quickly but calmly. He then got up to put his plate in the kitchen and then disappeared upstairs. Kyou pissed just blew it off and sat back down rubbing his cheek. 'That damn rat. What the hell was that?! Geez!'
Tohru scrunched her brows with question. Shigure just continued to pig out happily acting as if nothing happened. In the end Shigure was the one to finish half of the whole meal.
"What was simply delightful Tohru! I wish I could marry you right now and you would cook feasts and feasts of you splendid cuisine!" He praised as he rubbed his fat stomach.
Torhu thanked him modestly as she was cleaning up. Kyou smacked Shigure across the head and went upstairs ignoring the complaints from Shigure.
After cleaning the kitchen, Tohru made her way upstairs to collect the dirty clothes to do the laundry. She knocked on Yuki's door to see if she could enter. She opened the door to see him sitting on his bed staring out the window.
"I'm sorry to disturb you Yuki, I was just going to get clothes to wash."
"That's not a problem Ms. Honda." Yuki replied with a smile.
Torhu quickly tossed his clothes in the basket that she had and then exited, shutting the door behind her. She then made her way to her room to get her clothes. Next was Shigure's room. He certainly had a lot of clothes. Tohru was actually appalled to see how many were around the room. She sighed happily as she picked them up and left the room.
Finally was Kyou's room. She knocked on the door but there was no answer.
"Kyou? It's me. I'm doing the laundry. Kyou?" Tohru said as she knocked a second time.
'That's weird. I'm pretty sure he went up to his room after breakfast.' she thought. She slowly opened the door and peered in to see if he was there. No sign of Kyou. She questioned where he was but then began picking up the clothes. As she was about to leave, Kyou stepped out of the bathroom in his room. He sighed with his eyes shut as he was drying his hair with a towel. He opened his eyes to see Tohru with a deer in the head lights expression across her face. His eyes widened as he stared at her. She blushed furiously then yelled and quickly ran out the room.
"I'm soo soo sorry Kyou! I didn't mean to! I was just getting your clothes to do the laundry. I knocked but there was no answer so I thought you weren't there. I'm sorry!" Tohru explained in the hallway.
Kyou still stunned just stood there. He was lucky he had a towel wrapped around his waist or there was no telling what would've happened. He scrammed to get some clean clothes and then went outside to confront Torhu.
"Kyou, I'm soo sorry! Next time I'll make sure that you aren't in the room before I get your clothes! I'm sorry! I-"
"Hey, it's ok. Stop freaking out. It was an accident. I'm just sorry you had to see that."
Kyou was standing right in front of Tohru but looking the other way. You could tell he was embarrassed. Tohru blushed a little.
"Well, I didn't see much. I mean, it wasn't all that bad."
Kyou changed his glance to her with that comment. Tohru was now blushing fiercely. She now saw Kyou's body. That's Yuki and Kyou now. Yuki was unexpected when Tohru saw him. He was completely different without his shirt. Kyou was a little different. His body was ripped but not defined; just enough to squeeze a bit of body fat. His skin was clear as day although he was still wet when he came out. So he had some mist of water on his chest. Some how that got Torhu's heart racing.
Kyou stared at her for a while pondering her comment. After a minute or two passed, Torhu flustered to get the rest of Kyou's clothes and then rushed downstairs with the basket. Kyou watched her leave with a brightened face.
'Why did she say it wasn't all that bad? Did she like what she saw? She was blushing a lot. Wait! I hope she didn't see me blush. Mannn…that was embarrassing.'
Torhu down in the laundry room was catching her breath. Her heart was racing and she was getting a lot of emotions. 'What was that? Why did I get the same feeling when I saw Yuki the other night? What is going on??'
