Author's note-Well Ijust started this yesterday and would like some feed back before I continue, so please review. I will get the next chapter up as soon as possible. Thanks.-Author's notes...Well thanks for the reviews so far. I really enjoyed the good ones! As for some flames well yeah fine so I forgot the disclaimer. What are
there some nazis out there just waiting for someone to forget the disclaimer
so they can jump them. These are so not my characters. I'm not that
good.-(there that was the disclaimer!) And the chapters will get longer but I
can't stand reading stinkin' long first chapters. The first chapter was just a
way to get attention.-- Do people gotta worry about the smallest detail. So
anyway, thanks to those who reviews. Now onto the next chapter.
Tohru- It has now been two weeks since we went to see Akito. Things have
definitely gone back to the way they were before. I have to say that I wasn't
sure if everything would be okay but it's like nothing happened at all. I'm so
glad. It seemed almost impossible there for a minute but I am so happy that
I am aloud to stay here with Shigure, Yuki, and Kyo.
"Tohru," Shigure called walking into the kitchen. "Is breakfast almost
ready?" He inquired. She turned around and nodded back.
"Yup, almost done." Shigure smiled in relief.
"Ah, you're an angel. Whatever would we do without you?" He thought
about it for a minute and realized he already knew.
"Oh that's right, starve or eat nothing but burnt food. Yes, your cooking is
definitely something to look forward to." He mentioned in his normal
cheerful tone.
"Well I don't know if it's that good. But thank you." She smiled at the
compliment.
"Do you always have to act like that?" Yuki asked Shigure as he entered
the kitchen sleepily.
"Like what?" Yuki couldn't tell if he really didn't have a clue or if he was
pretending. "There's nothing wrong with giving our sweet Tohru a
compliment. Really Yuki, you could stand to be a bit nicer. Morning or not."
Yuki just rubbed his tired eyes in response.
"Hey are we gonna eat sometime today or what?" Tohru heard Kyo yell
from the other room. Tohru stood up straight and quickly finished their
breakfast.
"Oh I'm sorry. I'm almost done." She said pouring it into a serving bowl.
She followed Yuki and Shigure to the table.
"Speaking of not showing gratitude." Shigure muttered to himself.
"You got something to say to me?" Kyo demanded.
"It's nothing important." He took a bite of his breakfast. "Mmm, now that
is great!" He quickly changed the subject.
Kyo let out an annoyed sigh as Shigure continued to praise Tohru.
"Man, do yah gotta over-dramatize everything?" Tohru was slightly blushing
from all the admonishment for her talent. "Besides we already know she's a
good cook." He added.
"There's nothing wrong with telling her. Shigure just has to make up for
your lack of it." Yuki added quietly.
"What's that suppose to mean? This doesn't even concern you, so shut
up."
"Please don't start a fight now. I appreciate the compliments really. But
it's okay if not all of you do it." Tohru mentioned. There was silence now.
After breakfast the three high school students all headed to school. Tohru
noticed how Kyo and Yuki pretty much argued the whole way there. It
seemed like more then normal even. Hana and Uo caught sight of Tohru as
she walked towards their classroom.
Hey Tohru, over here." Uo called, getting her attention. Tohru hurried
over to them.
"Tohru, is everything alright? You seem somewhat worn out." Hana
pointed out.
"Oh, well everything is okay I guess. I just don't feel so well, that's all."
"You're not getting sick are you?" Uo inquired. She suddenly could hear Kyo and Yuki coming down the hallway now, arguing as they went. They usually didn't argue so much at school.
"Why do I have a feeling they have something to do with how you're feeling."
Uo mentioned now hearing mostly Kyo's part of the argument.
"Why don't you stop making such a scene, stupid cat? It's getting
annoying." Yuki said, glaring Kyo's way.
"Oh you're one to talk, why do you have to be everywhere I am. That's
annoying," Kyo answered. Uo cut into the conversation as they got closer to
the three girls.
"Hey I've got an idea, why don't you just leave Kyo. Every time you're around, my head starts to hurt." Everyone looked at her surprised at the suggestion.
"I just think everyone is a little bit tense cause of that report that's due at
the end of the week. I'm sure that once its' finished then we will all feel
better." Tohru quickly changed the subject. Kyo slumped his shoulders and
stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"Whatever." He muttered and headed into the classroom. Tohru excused
herself and followed him in. There weren't many students there yet. It was
still early.
Tohru found Kyo at the back of the room at his desk, with his feet up. She
quietly walked over.
"So what do you want?" He asked quickly.
"Um, nothing really. I was just seeing if you are okay?" Kyo let out a sigh.
"Why do you have to worry so much about how everyone's' feeling. I'm fine.
It's not like the we've never argued before." He told her.
"Oh, okay. It's just that you haven't really argued for a while. Guess I got
use to not hearing it. That's all." There was silence between them again.
Kyo finally was the one to break it.
"You don't have to worry." He started. "About me goin anywhere. I'm not
gonna leave." Before Tohru could answer him the bell rang and more
students came into the room. Through out the first period class though
Tohru could only think about what he had said.
Tohru- I wonder why he thought I was worried about that? And why are they
fighting even more now. They haven't for fought since we got back from the
main house, two weeks ago. Well they had a fight once we got home and
Yuki won. But since then, everything seemed to be getting better. I guess I
was hoping for too much. I really can't think of how to get them to work
things out. What else can I do?
After the first period class the three of them went their separate ways. Tohru walked by herself down the hallway to lunch. She was kind of surprised neither of them came with her. It caused her to think even more about all that had been going on. She still couldn't figure out a solution yet.
"Tohru?" her thoughts were interrupted and she looked up to see Hatsuharu standing in front of her.
"Hey what's going on?" He inquired. "You look down." She gave him a
small grin.
"Oh I'm okay. Just thinking too much that's all." She explained and
continued to smile. Almost as if she was trying to convince herself as well.
"Is something up with Yuki and Kyo?" She wasn't expecting that question.
"Um.."
"I saw them this morning. It seemed like a pretty bad argument. I didn't
even catch what it was about. Almost anything sets them off these days."
Tohru let out a sigh.
"I know. I want to help but it seems pretty much impossible."
"I wouldn't say that. Just figure out what you were doing before. I'm sure
you'll figure it out." As he told her that, a thought occurred to her.
"Oh no, what if I'm the reason for it. What if it's because I keep trying to
stop their fights. Maybe I should just ignore it or maybe I shouldn't say
anything. Oh it's all my fault now." She started wailing.
"I don't think it's that at all." The other students around them started to
stare at the crying girl. One guy finally approached her.
"Hey did this creep do something to you? You shouldn't hang around weird
looking guys like him. He has heart-breaker written all over him." Tohru
looked up.
"Oh no that wasn't...She stopped as Hatsuharu grabbed the guy and
pushed him away.
"Beat it. She didn't ask for your help." Oddly enough the guy took his
chance and ran away.
"Hey, Hatsuharu did you just...?"
"Naw, I'm still me. What a jerk though. He's lucky." He answered watching the guy run
down the hall. He turned back to her.
"Anyway, it's not your fault at all. Those two still have a lot to work out
between them. They've always been like this so don't think that living with
them for only a year is gonna change anything." She knew he was trying to
help but it almost made her feel worse.
"So then I'm no good to them. And I guess I really don't know them as well
as I thought I did." She started to say. Hatsuharu cut her off.
"No I didn't mean that. I don't even know how to stop those two and I've
been around them since we were kids. So you shouldn't feel bad about it.
They are only going to let you help so much. This is just how they are
sometimes." The bell rang loudly interrupting their conversation.
"Well I guess I should get to class. Thank you for talking with me."
"No problem. Just remember that you're doing the best you can." He
remarked before heading down the hallway to his classroom. She actually
smiled at what he said. It made her feel better knowing that he had such
confidence in her.
