"Family Values"

One more hour and it'll be time to go home. School's boring. Except for Tohru. There's nothing boring about her at all. Just watching her work in class amazes me. I can't wait until school's out. Today Tohru and I are supposed to plant the garden.
Ring. Finally, the bell rings. As we leave, the teacher says something but no one hears. They are in just as much of a hurry to get home. As I pour out into the hallway with the rest of the student population, I spot Tohru talking to Hana-san and Uo-san.
Tohru notices me as I approach and she gives me a smile. I cant' help but return it. "Hello, Tohru-kun. How was your day?"
"Fine. Yours?"
"Okay, I guess. Oh, excuse my manners. How are you Hana-san and Uo-san?"
"Bored out of my mind."
"Sorry to hear that."
"Don't be."
"Hana-san?"
"I'm not really sure how I'm doing right now."
Hana-san and Uo-san wave and say their goodbyes then leave. That meant it was time for Tohru and I to go home. As we were leaving school, we met Kyou at the front entrance gates. He waved at Tohru and ignored me.
The walk home was quiet. No one said a word. When we reached home, we dropped all of our things in their respective places. Tohru went to her room to change while I went to the storage closet to gather some of the tools Tohru and I will need. She came back after changing. "Ready to go, Tohru?"
"Hai."
Kyou turned from whatever homework he appeared to be doing. "Where are you two going?"
"If you must know, to plant strawberries. This means you have to baby-sit Shigure for a while."
"W-what?! You are no.." I grabbed Tohru's hand and drug her out the door and shut it before the cat could finish what he was saying.
Tohru and I didn't get twenty yards away from the house, when the door burst open and something flew past us. It stopped about three yards in front of us. It was just Kyou. "You (breath) will (breath) not (breath) leave (breath) me (breath) alone (breath) with (breath) Shigure."
"You can come along with us. Shigure's a grown man. Surely, he can take care of himself for a while."
"Thanks, Tohru. Anything's better than getting stuck with him. Well, almost anything."
Great. Now I won't get to spend this time alone with Tohru. Instead, I get stuck with Kyou. Of course, Kyou knows nothing about gardening. He was making a mess trying to impress Tohru. She was laughing though. "Let me help you."
I watched as Tohru wiped the dirt from Kyou's face and clothing. I saw him blush, although she didn't seem to notice. So, Kyou, it seems you like Tohru as well. That, I can't have..

I finally updated! Yay! (not) I'm kinda leaving the plot behind a lot. I'll pick it up within the next few chapters hopefully. If not, I'll change the summary. The next chapter will be like the first one, only, from Kyou's POV. Then I'll get back to the story. Hopefully, It'll be a longer chapter. Maybe the story will even get better.
