Chapter 2- The News
Rin and Tohru walked slowly down a path in the woods that occupied the land around Shigure's house. They were silent for a while, just enjoying the fresh summer air, and warm temperature. Finally, Rin decided to break the silence with a question for Tohru. Rin was curious by nature, and didn't feel shy asking anyone just about anything.
"Tohru, I was wondering. How long have you lived at Shigure's house? Isn't it something like two years now?" Rin had an estimate, by what Haru had told her.
"Yes, it's been two and a half now, actually. I can't believe it's been that long, you know? I guess time flies when you enjoy yourself. I am safe to say, I really love living here, you know?" Tohru stopped walking, and Rin did as well. Tohru motioned to sit down, and they both to a break from their walk. It was a good idea to sit and talk anyway.
"Yes, I can see why. Shigure is a really good person, and Yuki is very sweet and understanding. and," she laughed "Kyo is fun to be around, when he's not angry." Rin smiled at Tohru when she made that remark. Tohru nodded and laughed as well, because that was very true.
"Rin, are you a member of the zodiac too?" Tohru questioned. She couldn't help it, she really wanted to know.
"Why yes I am." She smiled, "I am the horse."
"Oh wow! That's really cool Rin. I always thought horses were very beautiful creatures." Tohru yawned slightly. She was somewhat tired, after all she went to eat dinner with her friends, and she helped cook and clean too.
Rin simply smiled at Tohru again. She didn't mind all her questions, in fact she was happy she was making a new friend. Tohru was thinking the same thing. Sure, she had Kisa, but she was a lot younger than her. She had Kagura too, but Kagura's wild temper scared her in truth.
Haru was nervous about what he was going to tell them, but at least he wasn't sitting in front of Akito confessing this.
"You guys, Rin and I are back together again." He said, and averted his gaze to the table, he didn't want to see their faces.
Kyo slammed his fist on the table, and cursed at him. "You're a damn fool, you know that Haru? A mother fucking fool. What the hell got into you to get back together with that hoe?"
Yuki was looking at Haru, and felt alittle sad. Sure, Yuki definitely had strong feelings for Tohru, but after all his first love was Haru. Yuki didn't know what to say, and so he rose to his feet and walked off. He went up the stairs and to his room, and flopped down on his bed. Shigure looked at Haru, trying to figure out why the two were back together. He wanted to know why he took someone back who had cheated on him with someone else when they were last together. Kyo didn't stop cursing, and talking bad about Rin, which made Haru go black.
"You fucking ass-wipe!" Haru yelled as he and Kyo both jumped to their feet and started throwing punches at each other.
"You know she's a good-for-nothing-hussy Haru! Have you NO descentsy?" Kyo kicked Haru in his side, which caused him to collapse to the floor, temporarily knocking the wind out of him. He got back up to his feet, holding his side for a minute. He then lunged at Kyo, sending his fist into his fast, causing his steps to after and him to fall backwards into the table. Kyo winced in pain, as the middle of his back had hit the table. He didn't get up. Shigure had ran up and gotten Yuki, who had fallen asleep, when the two started fighting. They came running down the stairs, as Haru stood there with an evil smirk on his face. He was panting, and blood flowed from his lower lip. Kyo still had not moved. Yuki pulled Haru out of the house and slammed him into the ground, and finished what Kyo had started. The result was Haru getting his butt kicked.
Shigure phoned Hatori, who said he'd be over as fast as he could.
"What the hell got into you Haru?" Yuki said, as Haru finally when white again.
"Kyo...he...talked......bad....about...Rin..." He said, his breath staggering.
Rin and Tohru had gotten up, and continued walking along the path. They were talking about the things they liked, and disliked. Their past and what was happening with them now.
"Rin, do you like Haru?" Tohru questioned, as she glanced over to the beautiful girl, whose long brown hair swayed in the wind.
"I don't just like him Tohru, I love him. I always will. And one day, we will even tell Akito." Rin looked at the ground as she replied to the question. Rin wasn't totally expecting that question, and was surprised when Tohru had asked her.
"I see. You two make a cute couple, you know that?" She said, as they stopped walking again. This time, that walked near the walked up a small hill and onto a private back road that only the Sohma's new existed.
As they turned in the direction of the house, and started walking down the road, a car horn honked at them. The girls stopped and turned around as Hatori pulled up next to them.
"Get in. I'll take you back to Shigure's. Tohru, I'll need your help. And Rin, when we get there I want you and Haru to leave. Immediately." He said in his plain way of saying things.
The girls climbed into the back-seat, and looked at each other funny. Hatori drove fast, almost sixty. Normally, he never drove faster than twenty down this road, and so his speed was cause for concern. They reached the house in under five minutes. He jumped out of the driver's seat, and grabbed his medical bag. He ran in the house, not even bothering to take his shoes off. Tohru and Rin followed him into the dining room. And the closer they got, they saw Yuki standing on the porch with Haru, and saw Shigure sitting with Kyo. Kyo still had not been moved from his spot, in fear he might have a bad injury. Hatori yelled at Tohru to hurry her self up. Normally, he was never bossy like this, but Tohru ran to the porch, and inside. He ordered her to help Shigure to pull the table out of the room, on his word. Yuki went in as well, and as Hatori got to 'three', they pulled the table backwards and out of the room, while Hatori held Kyo up then slowly lowered him to the ground.
Rin had remembered what Hatori said, and told Haru. He shrugged, and they both went off into the woods, the way Tohru and herself had gone earlier.
Hatori decided he didn't need Tohru's help after all, and told only Shigure to stay, and tell him what he saw. Yuki took Tohru upstairs. They sat in her room, on her floor. Yuki told her what had happened.
"So, Haru came to tell you three that he was back with Rin? Then him and Kyo had gotten into a fight?" She asked, looking into his eyes, which seemed pained.
Yuki nodded than said "Yes, that's what happened. It's pretty bad. Haru slammed Kyo down, back first into the table. The middle of his back hit the table's edge so hard it moved the table a good three or four feet. And not to mention Kyo lost consciousness, as you saw."
Tohru was shocked. She didn't know what to say. Yuki looked into her eyes, and tried to put on a smile. But Tohru caught on, and new something was troubling him.
"Yuki, what's wrong? Something is bothering you. Please tell me." She said, as she layed a hand on his.
"Miss Honda, Haru once told you I was his first love. What others don't know, I loved him then too. It just makes me sad to know he found someone else to love, but I have others I love." He smiled at Tohru, who caught what he said. She finally realized that he liked her, in more of a way than just a friend.
"Yuki, I like you too. I've liked you that way for a while now, but I was just too shy to say anything." She replied. Yuki moved himself to sit infront of her. He took both of her hands in his.
"Miss Honda, I hope you don't get driven away by this, but..." He trailed off, as he started to rub his thumbs on her hands.
"Please go on, I promise, it won't 'drive me away.'" She gave him one of her famous smiles. He nodded and went on.
"Miss Honda, I don't just like you. I love you with all my heart. I want to go on living my life knowing you love me just the same." He blushed brightly, and looked down, taking his hands from hers.
Tohru looked at him, and blushed as well. She was indeed taken aback, but she loved him too. She knew it was love, she had such strong feelings for him.
"Yuki, I love you as well. I love everything about you." She blushed some more, and so did he.
Yuki lifted his right hand to her face, and gently stroked her cheek, then pushed a stray bit of hair behind her ear. He suddenly had gained butterflies in his stomach. He was nervous, no doubt. He wanted to kiss her. He longed for all the world to kiss her.
Yuki spoke her name, which made her look up. He slowly leaned in, and closed his eyes.
Tohru realized what was about to happen, and was rally nervous as well, but she leaned in and closed her eyes too. Their lips met. It was perfect to Tohru. It was her first kiss, and from Prince Yuki himself. And their kiss, which was a first for them both, wasn't a little peck on the lips. They sat there for a few minutes now. He would suck gently on her lower lip, which sent chills up and down her spine, but nonetheless, she loved it.
Hatori finally got Kyo to wake up, and was able to examine his back. He was fine, but he was going to be extremely sore in the morning and have a huge bruise on his back. Hatori didn't want him walking just yet, so him and Shigure picked Kyo up, and took him upstairs to his room. Once, there they layed him upon his bed, and Hatori gave him some instructions about what to do and not to do. Kyo nodded, and the two older men left, closing the door behind them.
"We should go tell Tohru, she'll want to know how he is doing." Said Shigure, as he started walking towards her room.
"You do that, Shigure. I have to get back to the main house, before Akito gets suspicious." Hatori said, for they all knew Akito had a strange way of putting two and two together and figuring out what was going on. He couldn't find out about Rin and Haru, if it could be helped.
Yuki had moved his right hand to rest on her neck now, sort of cuffing it. They continued to kiss, both of them had longed to do this for so long. They were careful not to move to close, or Yuki would transform, which would be a strange predicament.
Shigure came to Tohru's room, and slid the door open.
"Tohru, Kyo's doing just fine. Do you know where I can find Yuki so I can-" Shigure stopped himself mid sentence when he opened his eyes and saw the two sitting on the floor, kissing. The sudden interruption caused the two to jump. Yuki quickly got up to his feet, and helped Tohru up once he did. All he could do was clear her throat, and Tohru was blushing madly.
Shigure had the most confused look on his face, and just stood there staring at the two. First Haru and Rin, now Tohru and Yuki. What next? Will Akito become nice and allow the Sohma's to love again?
"Uhm, Miss Honda..." Yuki tried to say something, but couldn't. The two were so embarrassed they had nothing to say. Tohru ran out of her room, down the stairs and to the porch. She still had her shoes on, so she kept going. She ran down the path, to Yuki's 'secret base'. Now why she went there, she wondered herself. But all she could think was about their love confession, stolen kiss, and being walked in on.
"Well, well Yuki. It's turned out to be quite the interesting day, wouldn't you say so?" He said, as he looked at Yuki.
"I....I...." Yuki ran out as well. He did something that usually Kyo would do. He climbed onto the roof, where he knew Shigure would not go.
"Well, ok I think I need to just go sit down...yes..." Shigure walked down the stairs to his study.
