The Unvoiced Plea

Chapter Twenty One: Silent Blush

Sunlight lit up and filtered under her eyelids. She squeezed her eyes before opening them slowly. She felt something warm drape over her body and something even warmer on her hand. In fact, she felt some of her fingers were entwined with whatever was on her hand.

The first thing she saw was the roof tiles. Wait, how did…That's right, came up here last night to give Kyo something to eat. But did I fall asleep? I must have otherwise…

She trailed off as she looked up at her outstretched hand. She saw what was on it, what was entwined with her fingers and how the owner was.

A red blush spread across her cheeks.

Her eyes looked away shyly.

What was perfectly entwined with her hand was Kyo's large, rough hand. He was asleep as well, and Tohru couldn't help but notice how different he looked. When he was awake he looked tough, defensive and a hint of secrecy in his eyes. Now as he slept he looked so calm and passive, all signs of defense gone. However, despite this Tohru thought he was very much handsome looking when he was awake.

This made her blush even more. Um, uh, let's see um…I need to stop thinking like that and focus on today! Um, oh, what's the time?!

With that thought in mind Tohru slowly and gently untwined her finger out of Kyo's. Her hand automatically missed the heat of the cat's hand, wanted to hold it again. She then slowly sat up making sure not disturb him from his sleep.

She looked down at herself seeing what had kept her warm all night. Her blush increased until it covered her whole face and it was as red as a tomato. Kyo's jacket. What's Kyo's jacket doing on me?! Did he…DAH!UM,UH,EH?!

Calming down as quickly as she could, Tohru suddenly noticed how it smelt. The smell of Kyo was all around her. The nice forest, mountain, nature smell that made her feel strange on the inside. It made her heart race whenever-

"Haru, eat the darn chicken…" she heard Kyo mutter. Moments later he did it again this time saying "Damn rat… Cod please…no actually salmon's pretty nice, Tohru…"

He was dreaming about her? Curiosity took over the girl as she listened in. Wait, no! I have no right to snoop in on other people's business, even if they are talking in their sleep! I suppose I can go make breakfast, and let Kyo sleep a little while longer…

"Haru, if you don't…chicken's gonna end upon your…Stop taking my cat nip… Where's the cat food…?"

She blinked a few times, wondering what in the world he was dreaming about. Not wanting to go any further because it was his own business, she pulled off the hoodie from her shoulders and put it over Kyo. She smiled as she turned and quietly made her way down to the ladder.

Thank you, Kyo…


"Grandpa Shigure, Grandpa Ayame, how are babies made?"

The novelist dropped the pen he was twirling around, his eyes wide under his glasses. Ayame stopped drinking his tea, his eyes wide too. Did she just say?

"Is there something wrong with how babies are made?" Kisa asked sitting in front of the two adults. She watched them as they both looked at each other. Ayame removed the cup from his lips placing it back on the dish in front of him. Shigure put his book down looking back at the tiger "Kisa, why do you want to know?"

Kisa noted the nervous tone in his voice as he spoke. "Well, I was thinking about sissy and how to make her feel happy. I remembered when Hiro's mother got pregnant she was she was very happy. So I thought would sissy be happy if she got pregnant? Maybe she might!"

Shigure nearly bursted into a fit of laughter but managed to hold it back…just. But also felt a little sick. As much as thought behind the act of trying to make Tohru happy was nice, the thought Tohru pregnant and doing…that…wasn't as pleasant…

Ayame looked at her confusion. How did she come to that conclusion? Didn't she realise what…wait, if she did she wouldn't have actually come to ask them how babies were made in the first place.

"Well, um, Kisa…" Shigure said, barely getting the statement out past the held back laughter "Are you sure you want to know?"

The tiger nodded frowning. "What's so bad about it?"

"Oh my dear there is nothing bad about it at all! In fact it's quite pleasura-!" Shigure quickly put his hand over Ayame's mouth stopping the snake form talking any further. The dog nervously laughed slowly removing his hand away from the snake when he was sure he had stopped. "Well, um, Ayame, can you close the door…" The snake walked over closing the door and quickly returning to his place.

"Shigure, care to start in giving this young lady an education in how babies are made" Ayame said his voice sounding very professional.

Shigure, clearing his throat, had a small smirk on his face. "Right, Kisa. Now, when a mummy and daddy love each other very much…"

Hmmm, where is she? Hiro wondered walking down the hallway. He'd been looking for Kisa after she disappeared to go to the bathroom. She never came back. Before they'd been talking about his mother's pregnancy and how happy she was. At one point Kisa looked ecstatic, as if she had come up with a brilliant idea. But then she said she had to use the bathroom and ran off. That was about five minutes ago…

"I can't seem to pull it out!" Hiro stopped in front of Shigure's office. That sounded like the dog, and he was struggling with something.

"Oh really? That's strange!" he heard Ayame reply.

"Maybe it's too big to come out." Kisa…Wait, Kisa, what was Kisa doing in there?! What was going on?

"It sure is!" Shigure said with a small grunt.

"Maybe I should try…" What in the world-?

Oh dear god no! They weren't…oh god. Just as Hiro was about to open the door, Yuki walked stopped near the sheep. "Hiro what in the world are you-?!"

"I can't seem to get a hold of it…"

Yuki suddenly became curious as he saw the sheep's cheeks turn bright red.

"It's defiantly stuck in there, no way of getting it out" Shigure said with a defeated sigh.

"No Shigure dear, don't give up! We must pull it out in the name of science!"

Yuki's eyes widened. Name of science? Did that mean…? What in the world-?

Without even realizing it Yuki pushed the door aside.

He blinked a few times.

What…?

There, sitting all around a packet of chewing gum, were Kisa, Shigure and Ayame. At the top of the packet was a piece of gum stuck unmoving and barely even halfway out.

"My dear brother! How are you this morning?"

Yuki quickly left the scene, a look as if saying a black cloud of misery hung over his head. Hiro stood there, his cheeks blushing crazily.

"Hiro, is everything alright? Do you have a fever because you're blushing?" Kisa said concerned.

Hiro looked up shaking his head too quickly "N-N-No, I-I'm fine!" he also left the scene but again too quickly. As he rushed off his raced around and around in his head. How could I think they were talking to her about that? Or even showing her that? It's just disgusting

Kisa confused, stood up and sat back to her original place opposite the adults. Ayame got up putting the packet of gym back in his pocket and went over to close the door.

Kisa looked back to the dog "So, um, continue where you left off grandpa…"

Shigure cleared his throat again this time taking off his glasses. "Now Kisa, when a mummy and daddy love each other very much …"

And so he went on. Along the way Ayame would take over, talking about it as if it were nothing to be bashful about. It was just a shame that the tiger was the first one to get a lecture from the two of them.

I don't think sissy should get pregnant now…

Hehehehehehe, poor Kisa, she got 'the talk' from the worst to perverts in the world! XD

This chapter good? Not so good? Reviews are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reading!

Keep Writing!!
