Chapter 3: Kyo's Reaction
"WHAT?!" Kyo howled as Shigure and Yuki told him about Tohru will be living with them. "It is bad enough that we transform into our zodiac form when being hugged by the opposite gender, now you are inviting our opposite gender to live with us? Are you seeking death?"
"There, there Kyo. There is nothing to worry about. Yuki has it all under control. As long as we be careful, we won't be hugged by her. Further more, Tohru's a decent girl and she needs our help. I'm sure you are not so heartless as to make her homeless are you Kyo?" Shigure said in a mushy voice.
"Alright, alright! You win Shigure..." Kyo said, as he diverted his attention to Tohru, who was entering the room.
"Hey! You there! If you are living in our house, you must abide by my rules. Never touch the things in my room. I can clean my room perfectly fine and you do not have to interfere, you get me?" Kyo said as he walked into the kitchen for another glass of milk.
Tohru nodded while she continued with her chores.

"Come on Kyo! We're going to be late!" Yuki's voice echoed throughout the whole house.
"Okay, okay! I'm coming." Kyo replied with a sense of dissatisfaction.
"Good morning, Kyo." Tohru greeted as she saw Kyo dashing down the stairs.
However, Kyo just wore his shoes and walked away.
"Sohma-san does not really like the idea of my staying here, is he?" Tohru asked Yuki with a slight tremble in her voice.
"Don't be silly. He is just not used to having a girl living with us, that's all. After all, he doesn't know how to express himself well too." Yuki comforted Tohru.
************************************************************************
"You two go ahead home without me. I still have a prefect meeting after this." Yuki said as the school bell rang.
"Whatever!" Kyo said curtly.
On their way home, there was a deep silence between them and the atmosphere was tense and suffocating. Kyo was thinking about what he said to Tohru the evening before and he was starting to feel guilty about it.
"Umm..Honda-san, I'm...I'm...s...sorry for howling at you yesterday...It's just that I can't control my temper..." Kyo finally said.
"I understand." Tohru said with her eyes shimmering in the afternoon sun.
"Welcome back, Kyo and Honda-san." Shigure said with excitement as he flaunts his new work piece to them.
Tohru gazed with great interest at the stories Shigure wrote while Kyo just walked away.
"That Kyo..why does he always have to act so cool?" Shigure mumbled to himself, shaking his head.
************************************************************************
"Bye, Mr. Shigure, bye Sohma-san. I'll be back by eight" Tohru said as she left the house to work.
"Hmm...there are some perverts hanging around this area recently...she'll be back by eight...wonder if she's going to be alright?" Shigure said to Kyo as he was lying down on Shigure's floor.
"Shigure...Why am I always so bad-tempered? I can't say anything good in front of her. I'm just not the kind that gets along well with others." Kyo said as he gave a big sigh.
"Her? You mean Honda-san? Well, you will just have to learn how to curb your temper. Take this as a challenge. Frankly speaking, I think your temper is scaring her out of her wits recently." Shigure replied. "Why not you go pick her up from work today? I'm sure she'll have a better impression of you if she know that you are trying to protect her."
"Well, I hope that helps. I don't want to be labeled a bad egg after knowing a person for only a week." Kyo said sarcastically.
************************************************************************
"Sohma-san?" Tohru said with amusement as she saw him waiting outside the forest.
"Shigure told me that there are perverts hanging around here lately so I just wanted to make sure you are safe." Kyo said, feeling totally absurd inside him.
"Thank you, Sohma-san" Tohru said as she felt her tears uncontrollably rolling down.
"Why are you crying?" Kyo said frantically.
"I just feel so fortunate to have a friend like you, Sohma-san." Tohru replied.
"You still don't have the need to cry..."Kyo said with his face blushing.
"WHAT?!" Kyo howled as Shigure and Yuki told him about Tohru will be living with them. "It is bad enough that we transform into our zodiac form when being hugged by the opposite gender, now you are inviting our opposite gender to live with us? Are you seeking death?"
