Tohru walked in from the miserable heat. It had been another long day at
school and she was exhausted. Kyo and Yuki both had to stay at school for
their own reasons, Kyo had to clean and Yuki had a student council meeting,
so no one was there to carry her books for her, which she always objected
but it was still nice.
She put all her stuff in her room and went back downstairs. There were plenty of things she could have been doing but didn't. Instead she just plopped herself down on the couch and just sat there. She would punish herself later for being so useless and lazy, but for now it felt good.
After about ten minutes she decided she felt better and got up to start on dinner. She went to the kitchen and started to open the fridge door when she saw a note taped to it. 'What could this be?' she wondered, and so took it off, opened it up, and began to read:
Hey Princess!!
When you get home today come see me in my office.
I need to discuss something important with you. Don't
Worry, it's not bad!
Love,
Shigure
Knowing how important this must be, Tohru went straight there. She knocked but there was no answer so she slowly opened the paper door. Shigure wasn't in there. "Well I guess I'll wait for him to come back...maybe he is just in the bathroom," she told herself. Sure enough, a moment later Shigure walked in, a line a toilet paper stuck to his heel.
"Oh, hello Tohru!" he squealed. "Hello," Tohru said nervously. "Is there something you wanted to discuss with me?" Shigure paused and looked up at her. "Actually, yes." He walked over to the char where she was sitting and knelt down in front of her. "Are the boys still at school?" he asked. "Yes, why?" Tohru replied. She felt a little uncomfortable with Shigure getting so close to her.
Shigure just licked his lips and looked around nervously. "Look, do you respect me?" he finally asked. "Yes, of course!" Tohru answered, in her tizzy voice, waving her arms around frantically. "Good," Shigure replied back to her answer.
It was then that Tohru noticed how uncharacteristically serious he was acting. "What's wrong?" she asked, genuinely concerned. Shigure put his hand on her leg and began rubbing it, steadily moving further up her leg. Just as he reached just under her skirt he got close to her ear and whispered, "Everything is great now." He smiled at her and started playing with her hair.
"Sensei..." Tohru began. "Call me Shi," he interrupted. "Shi...may I please go..." Tohru asked, tears filling her eyes. "My dear, don't you want to make me happy?" Shigure asked maliciously. "Yes of course, but..." She could feel his hand going further up.
Suddenly they both heard noise in the house. The boys were home. Shigure grabbed her arms. "If you tell them about this I will kick you out!" he threatened, then let her go and pushed her out he door of his office.
Tohru walked out, into the living room to greet Kyo and Yuki, but when they saw her their eyes got wide. "Miss Honda, are you ok?! You're pale and shaking!" Yuki flushed. "Yea, what the hell happened to you?!" Kyo asked, just as worried as Yuki, if not more. "Shigure...I..." she began but remembered Shigure's threat, "I saw a snake in the hallway," she lied. From behind her came giggles. "Yes and I killed it and threw it away. I didn't know it would make her so distraught," he confessed and touched Tohru's back, but she just shuddered and scooted away from him.
Yuki and Kyo gathered around her and tried to comfort her. "It's ok, Miss Honda," Yuki consoled. "Yea, why are you making such a big deal out of a stupid snake?" Kyo added. Tohru collapsed and began to cry, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Both boys kneeled down beside her. "Look, I'm sorry I said that, just don't cry!" Kyo begged. "Nice going you stupid cat! Now look what you did!" Yuki yelled. Hearing this made Tohru cry harder. "It's not either of your faults. Please don't fight! I'm sorry!"
After saying this Tohru got up and dried her eyes. All of this foolish crying was making them worry. "I'll go start dinner," she said as she slowly walked into the kitchen.
Both boys just sat in the floor dumbstruck. One minute she was on the floor bawling and the next she is making dinner, like nothing ever happened. "What's wrong with her?" Kyo asked irritatedly. "You are!" Yuki retorted. "Shut up you son of a..." "I know!" Shigure said happily, "She must be on her period!" Yuki and Kyo looked up at him, confused. "What's a period?" they both asked. "I've read all about it..." Shigure said wisely, "Girls start bleeding and get all emotional all the time...very hard to deal with..."
"Bleeding?!" Kyo yelled frantically, "I didn't see any blood! Is she gonna be ok?!" by now Yuki had caught on. "Baka..." he mumbled.
Back in the kitchen Tohru cried as she cooked. How was she gonna live with Shigure now? Then she thought for a moment...it's not his fault....he's just lonely! She was being so selfish and spoiled. She decided to give him another chance and not to judge him.
The next day a school Tohru approached Kyo and Yuki. "Are you coming home with me today?" she asked. "I'm sorry Miss Honda, but I have another meeting today," Yuki explained. "I gotta clean again....I swear I'll never fight in school again..." Kyo muttered. To her surprise, Tohru felt a stroke of fear. She regained her composure and coolly replied, "I'll just wait for you here then." "Miss Honda, I'll be here for a while," Yuki warned. "Yea, me too," Kyo agreed, "You better go on home.." Nonsense, I'll just help Kyo- kun clean up!" Tohru squeaked out.
They both walked together down the hall. After a few moments of silent cleaning Kyo looked up at Tohru. "Is your period....bad?" he asked, blushing. Tohru looked up at him and giggled. Who said I'm on it Kyo-kun? I'm not so don't worry." "Damn that Shigure!" Kyo spat. That startled Tohru. "What did he say?" Kyo looked down. "He said you were acting funny cuz of it...well if that's not it then what is it? And don't say nothing cuz I know there is!" Kyo yelled.
Tohru looked down. The tears started to come again. "I can't tell you..." she said in a broken voice. "Yes you can! Tohru-chan, you can talk to me! Please...I' worried about you..." Kyo insisted. "I can't! He'll kick me out if I tell....and I want to stay with you...with Yuki too...besides, he' just lonely!" Kyo froze. Tohru watched his eyes fill with rage until they were completely yellow. "What....happened..." Kyo said angrily.
Now was as good a time as any. There was no stopping it. "Yesterday...when I got home...in his office he tried to touch me....and he was saying things....and wouldn't let me leave....then you all got home....but its not his fault! He's just lonely!" She was slightly shakin as she told her story. "WHAT? I'M GONNA KILL HIM!!" Kyo roared, "wait till I tell Yuki!" "Kyo-kun...what about getting kicked out?"
Kyo got close to her and held both her hands. "Don't worry ok?" His face was changed. It was gentle and loving. I'll take care of you...and Yuki will too..." he forced out. He turned around and started walking towards the door, still holding one of her hands, "No one messes with my Tohru!" he growled.
A few minutes later they arrived at the classroom where Yuki was leading the student council meeting. He stopped and politely excused himself temporarily when he saw Tohru unusually stressed and Kyo unusually ill, which was hard to do. Kyo was always ill.
"What's wrong?" Yuki asked, puzzled. "Tell him!" Kyo urged. "It's ok, he was just lonely...it's not his fault..." Tohru tried to convince herself. "What are you talking about?" Yuki inquired. "Shigure molested her yesterday! That's why she has been acting so odd!" Kyo yelled. Tohru could have sworn she saw purple flames in Yuki's eyes.
The two boys looked at each other in rage. "How could you let this happen?!" they both screamed at each other. "Oh bloody hell, lets just go take care of this.." Yuki sighed and started walking down the hall, grabbing Tohru's only free hand then turned around. "My meeting.." he reminded himself. He quickly turned around and politely pardoned himself for the rest of the time, Kyo cussing at him in the background.
Then they were all on their way. About halfway home Tohru began to wonder. "What are you all going to do?" Neither of them looked at her but both replied, "We don't know...but it will be good.." This relieved Tohru. It would be good, maybe that meant they wouldn't hurt him too bad.
She put all her stuff in her room and went back downstairs. There were plenty of things she could have been doing but didn't. Instead she just plopped herself down on the couch and just sat there. She would punish herself later for being so useless and lazy, but for now it felt good.
