AN: Hey everyone!
Okay, so now there is no more assessment which means I can update more! Sorry again for the long wait, last test was this week on Wednesday. I thought I'd make this a comic relief chapter because the story really needs some laughter and light on it.

The Unvoiced Plea
Chapter Twenty Five: Silent Embarrassment
"I'm telling you mine's longer!"
Tohru stopped in front of the door hearing Kyo yell angrily. Kisa also stopped but too quickly. She nearly lost balance of the pile of laundry she was holding. What's going on in there? Tohru thought.
"What?" Yuki said, bemused.
"You heard me, mine's longer!" Tohru looked to Kisa, only to see the tiger blushing bright scarlet. Did she know what they were talking about?
What does he-?
"What makes you think that, stupid cat?"
"I just know dammit!"
"Alright you've done it now girly boy, we're taking this outside to compare!"
"Ugh, let's just end this and compare here."
Tohru frowned in confusion as she heard zips being…unzipped. Kisa's blushed increased until she looked like a beetroot from Yuki's secret base.
Tohru still wasn't quite sure what it was they were doing, so she the door opened to see…
"You're one centimeter off, you stupid cat…"
Kyo looked from his ruler to Yuki's. Sadly, the rat was right. Grumbling Kyo threw his ruler across the room landing in the kitchen. "Damnnit, one centimeter!"
They were comparing the size of their rulers? Tohru thought even more confused. Yuki turned around to see she was present in the room. "Oh, Miss Honda! Is something wrong?"
Tohru shook her head, forming a smile. She looked to a fuming Kyo who glared at the rat from across the table. The rat put his ruler back in his pencil case, zipped back up again, and turned back to his studies. Not really knowing what to do, she left the room to hang up the washing. Kisa followed behind her still blushing but only a faint pink. She was glad it wasn't what she thought it was.
After having that talk with her two cousins, she would never think about life the same way again…
She felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up seeing that they were already outside at the washing line. She unhurriedly placed the pile of laundry on the ground seeing sissy take the first item of clothing. Just as she was about to join Tohru in her task, she remembered something.
"Sissy," she said tugging on her the girls skirt gently.
Tohru looked down to the girl smiling.
"Sissy, I'm sorry but I have to go. Hiro wanted me to go watch a new anime with him. Is…Is that okay?"
Tohru nodded, her smile still present.
The tiger smiled back at her. "I'll come back and visit soon!"
She ran off to the side of the house looking and seeing Tohru waving goodbye.
When the girl had disappeared around the corner, Tohru resumed her task of hanging up the washing. It wasn't long until someone else came along to help.
"Hey, let me do this, you go take a break!"
She turned to see a slightly angry Kyo walking towards her. She shook her head, determined to finish the job. Even so, Kyo picked up a shirt and hung it up. "Fine, be that way. That isn't gonna stop me from helping you anyway…"
And so he too began the task of hanging up the washing. Tohru just smiled, thankful that he was with her right now. She remembered when he wasn't with her a few weeks. It was sad really, because he was avoiding her. And she really-
"UH-WHOA!!"
The embarrassed and confused yell broke her from her thoughts. She jumped at least three feet in the air dropping the sweater she was about to hang up. When she fully recovered, she see looked to Kyo to see what he had shouted about…
He stood there, his face crimson red, his jaw practically on the ground, and something in his hands. She saw what the item was …
…Kyo's boxers
"T-T-Tohru…Y-You wash everything don't you?!" he said able to recover his jaw from the ground and talk.
She nodded, not really knowing what he was thinking.
"Even…my boxers?"
Realization dawned on her. Oh…She never thought of it that way.
She'd been in this house for quite some time –nearly two years- and she had never thought about hanging up the Sohma's underwear like that before.
Then she noticed he had something else…
Her cheeks went bright red and she nearly died of embarrassment there and then!
Kyo looked down back to his boxers…
He saw what she was looking at…
His eyes widened…
Was that…
…her bra?!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"
The next thing he knew he'd thrown both garments into the air. They went flying above the house for the whole world to see!
Tohru began to panic, running around as her bra came flying back down to earth. Kyo watched as his boxers swayed in the wind and…
"Oh. .No!" They landed in a tree at the very top, waving like a flag on a flag pole.
At that moment Shigure came out wondering what all the noise was about."What on earth is-?"
Kyo saw why the dog stopped mid sentence. The cat's eye twitched madly as he saw the sight. Tohru blushed uncontrollably, seeing where her bra had landed…
Right on Shigure's head…
Shigure pulled the under garment off his head. He blinked a few times staring at it in disbelief. "My dreams…have come true…it's raining bras!"
"You sick bastard!" Kyo yelled. He ran towards the dog ready to beat him until he was seeing stars around his head.
In background Tohru could only watch the scene, frozen to the spot and only thinking that she'll never think about hanging up the washing the same way again.
Okay, so I guess Shigure was BIT more perverted than usual in this chapter. I could just see it, Shigure dreaming of bras raining down from the sky…
This chapter good? Not good? Please review of you have time!
Thanks for reading!
Keep writing!!
