upset.
Chapter 8 Secrets Shared
After seeing his son going home was the last thing that Yuki wanted to do. However, Shigure was calling his cell phone and he was afraid that the noise would wake little Shinta even though it was on silent.
Tohru slightly giggled at him, "He won't wake up for anything now. Don't worry about it. I want you to stay with me."
"I know," Yuki blushed, "I want to stay too. But I think that I need to go and talk with the clan about my decision. I'll stop over in the morning."
"Okay, but I want you to call me before you do. Here, let me write down my phone number."
Yuki entered it into his PDA and gave Tohru a quick kiss before heading home. The cool air felt wonderful for his senses. Who was he kidding? Tohru was the wonderful thing. He had never felt so alive.

"What do you want Shigure?" Yuki asked as he stormed into the main house. He was yelling, but he didn't care whom he woke up.
Shigure pranced happily into the hall and greeted Yuki. "Yuki! You're home! We've missed you so!"
"So I noticed. Must you be calling my cell at these hours?"
"Ahh, but Yuki. You weren't sleeping. You were with Tohru, right?"
"Yes, but it was still annoying."
"Really?? Why???"
This dog was about as curious as a cat. "We were talking about something important."
"Yes?"
"About my taking the position as clan head."
"Oh really Yuki?"
"Yes. I will agree on one condition."
"Hmmm. What condition?"
"That the family can finally be happy. I can finally be happy. I want to marry Tohru and be a family. And I want everyone else in the family to be able to love and marry whomever they wish."
"My. What a condition! We'll have to talk about this with everyone, you know that right?"
"Yes, I understand that. Now, I would like to go bed, it has been a long day. We'll talk about this in the morning."
"Of course. Good night, Yuki. And congratulations."
As Shigure skipped off Yuki couldn't help but wonder what exactly the dog was congratulating him on. Him and Tohru, or his family?
- - - - - - - - -
Shigure giggled all the way back to his room. How sly that Yuki thought he was! As if the family didn't already know these things. Shigure's grin widened as he entered his room.
"What are you so happy about?"
Chi was waiting for him.
"Yuki and Tohru. They have a little secret," Shigure told her.
She smiled back at him, "And just what is this secret, love?"
"Aww... You know I can't tell you that, my dear. That would wreak all the fun, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?"
"No. I suppose not."
"I'll tell you tomorrow."
"Promise?"
"I promise," Shigure said, and then sealed it with a kiss.
