My Favorite Day

Later that evening, Kyou sat in his favorite spot on the roof. Tohru had disappeared into her room to do homework the moment she got home from her job, and had not been seen since. That bastard Yuki had been talking with Shigure all day, and although Kyou had no interest in joining their conversation, he'd heard the phrases "plan," "secret," and "my little flower" mentioned while passing by.

He had no doubt that Shigure was just being his normal perverted self, but he had no idea why Yuki was participating. In any case, the two had left forty-five minutes ago, saying only that they'd be back in an hour or two and that Tohru and Kyou shouldn't wait to make dinner if they got hungry. Other than that, no one had even talked to him since they got home. Put together with the stupid sub from school, it'd been a really sucky day, Kyou decided.

Presently, he stretched and climbed back down to the main house. He walked to Tohru's room and knocked on the door. Hearing no answer, he poked his head in. Tohru was asleep, her head on the table, and her finished homework in a neat stack in front of her. It must have been a hard day at work.

Kyou was wondering what exactly it was he'd come in her room for when he heard the front door being opened and the sound of voices. He checked Tohru's clock. It'd been an hour and a half since Yuki and Shigure had left. What the hell had he been doing for half and hour? Probably standing here daydreaming, he thought, feeling slightly stupid.

He could hear Shigure calling his name from downstairs, so he left quietly to see what he wanted. Shigure had several bags, all of which he handed to Yuki.

"We got takeout," Shigure announced. "Set it out on the table, would you, Kyou?"

Kyou fumed. Finally someone acknowledged his existence, and it was to tell him to get dinner ready. Nevertheless, he took the bag Shigure offered him and headed to the table. He noticed Yuki had slipped out with the bags and whatever was in them.

"What's in the bags?" Kyou asked Yuki as he rejoined them. Yuki glanced swiftly at Shigure, and the older man said, "Oh, just some food, nothing important."

"Why the hell would you buy food? Tohru goes to the store tomorrow. What's really in there?"

"Ara ara, why would I lie to you?" Shigure said innocently. "It's just some extra stuff. Go get Tohru, would you?"

Kyou felt totally left out and confused on the way back up to Tohru's room. He woke her up and they went back down together. As they entered the dining room, Kyou saw that once again, Yuki and Shigure had their heads together and were whispering something inaudible. They snapped apart as soon as they saw Kyou and Tohru, and Shigure edged around the table back to his spot.

Glaring at them, Kyou took a seat. They had to be doing this just to annoy him, so he decided to ignore it. Shigure smiled at Tohru as she took her spot beside Yuki.

"Did work go well today, Tohru-kun?" Tohru smiled, though she looked worn out.

"Hai, although it was a little bit tiring..." Yuki was instantly all over her, as Kyou noticed, annoyed.

"Are you feeling alright, Honda-san? Did you get some rest?" Tohru laughed.

"I'll be fine once I have some food!"

Tohru loved that about Sohma-kun, how he was always concerned and watchful for her well-being. Once again, Kyou found himself ignored for all of dinner. He was beginning to wonder what Shigure and Yuki could be up to, and how Tohru was involved.

AN: There we go, second chapter up...a little uneventful, I know, but I needed to put it in for chapter 3. Kind of a bridging chapter, I guess. We had a little Kyou-bashing this chapter, it's for Taryn again, she's mad at him. But we'll be nicer to him in the upcoming chapters, KK? So, please leave me a review, and we'll be back soon!!
