Author's notes-Thanks for the reviews so far. They have been great and thanks for the insight too. Surprisingly enough these characters aren't as easy to write as some of my other fanfics. It's hard not being so serious all the time. So if anyone is off please let me know. Yes no one will be yelled at for bad reviews. Now onto the story. (like anyone gives a crap about what I write in this part anyway.--
Once school was over, Yuki and Kyo waited outside for Tohru. Neither of them said anything to each other yet. Yuki caught sight of Hatsuharu and Momiji. Once Hatsuharu noticed them, they walked over.
"Wow, I think this is the first time today that you two aren't at each other's throats." Hatsuharu mentioned.
"It's not my fault everything I do annoys Kyo." Yuki answered.
"Oh sure you had to start something now didn't you, yah dumb rat." Hatsuharu hit Kyo in the back of the head with his backpack. He fell forward and landed hard on the ground.
He immediately stood up and glared at Haru.
"Finally gone black on us again. Want another fight or somethin?" He demanded.
"Give it a rest, Kyo. I don't want to cause Tohru any more stress right now."
What he said caught Yuki and Kyo off guard.
"Did you talk to her or something?" Yuki inquired.
"Yeah. She really doesn't like it when you two fight. She's been worried that it had something to do with her."
Kyo let out a low growl. Why'd she always think it's her fault for everything? This really didn't have anything to do with her.
"So where is Tohru anyway?" Momiji interrupted.
"She was still getting her things together when we left. I had no idea that all this arguing was upsetting her so much." Yuki answered.
"Yeah but I don't think it's just you two." Momiji told him. "Everyone at the main house are all stressed out too. It's been like this for awhile now." The four of them were quiet for a minute.
"You don't think he'd go through with it do you?" Haru asked Yuki. Momiji and Kyo gave him a confused look.
"Nothing has been mentioned for two weeks so I think he forgot about it." Came the quick response.
"What are you talking about?" Kyo finally cut back in.
"Why don't you pay attention more, you stupid cat?" Yuki shot back. Before he could respond Haru interrupted.
"It's Akito. When Tohru went to see him, he ordered Hatori to erase her memory. Of course he didn't but now we're all worried that Akito will tell him to do it again."
"Well no one told me about that. So how was I supposed to know?" Kyo said defensively.
"Do you think that Tohru is worried about it?" Yuki asked Haru. He shook his head.
"She didn't say anything about that. I don't think she is."
"Hey she's coming over." Momiji announced, waving happily at her.
"You all waited for me. Thank you." She said once she reached them. Momiji went to hug her but Kyo got in his way.
"Jeez, don't you ever give up? There are still people around!"
"Aw, why are you always so mean to me." Momiji whined. Kyo slumped his shoulders and sighed.
"Why do I even bother? It just makes him whine more." He started walking away.
Haru and Momiji said goodbye and went in the opposite direction.
"I guess we're ready to go then." Yuki said to Tohru. "By the way are you working tonight?"
"No, I have this evening off. It'll give me some time to work on my report. How is yours going anyway?"
"It's going well, although I still have some last minute things to do. We can work on them together later if you want."
"Okay, that'll be nice." She smiled. "And Kyo? Do you want to work on yours with us to?"
"What makes you think I would want to do that? I can't even stand to be in the same room as that dumb rat. I'd just be miserable." He objected.
"Oh well if you'd rather work on it by yourself, I guess that's alright too." She answered.
"He'll probably wait till the last minute and then rush through the whole thing." Yuki told her. Kyo turned at that comment.
"For your information, I'm already finished with the report. I just have to work on my folder." He stated proudly. "So stop talking about stuff that you don't have a clue about."
"You're really done with it. Wow, you must've worked hard. I haven't even started yet." Tohru said, trying to stop the argument. Kyo didn't know what to say to her.
"Do you think I could read yours when I'm done with mine? I want to see how good it is."
"Umm. Yeah, I guess." He answered and went back to walking ahead of them.
Tohru waited for him to get out of earshot before she started talking to Yuki.
"You know, Yuki.." She began. "You could try not to get him so mad. I mean I know how easy it is to make him mad lately." He gave her a surprised look before answering.
"Miss Honda, I'm sorry that we've been fighting so much. I didn't realize how much it was affecting you too."
"Oh no, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine really."
"But you're right. I'll try harder not to fight with him." He promised. She smiled back.
"We're home." Tohru called out as they entered the foyer. She peered inside, but didn't see any sign on Shigure.
"I guess he went out." Yuki said to her.
"Yeah but he didn't say anything this morning, did he?" She mentioned. Kyo looked around as well.
"I'm sure he'll be back for dinner." He added getting his shoes off and heading for the kitchen.
The entire afternoon, Yuki and Tohru worked on their reports until dinner. They were ready to eat and there was still no sign of Shigure.
"Should we wait for him?" Tohru asked the other two.
"And let this all get cold, heck no." Kyo reached for the serving spoon. That was when he heard it.
"We're back." Shigure called from the foyer.
"We?" Yuki thought out loud. "What's he mean by we?"
"Kyo!" Kagura entered the dining room. "I've come to visit you." She said sweetly. Kyo froze where he was. Maybe she wouldn't see him if he stayed still. But it was no use. She practically jumped over the table to hug him. He struggled to get up but was still tackled.
"Hey, get off me!" He yelled at her as she hugged his neck tightly. Shigure finally entered the room.
"I had to go by the main house today and she wanted to come back with me. She just wouldn't take no for an answer." He explained sitting down to eat.
"Well you could have just left without her. Ever think of that?" Yuki brought up before taking a bite of rice.
"Yes, well I'm not one to let ladies down so I let her come anyway."
"Okay, but it'll be your own fault when she trashes the house." Yuki told him. Tohru couldn't help but laugh at them.
"So why'd yah have to come anyway. Don't you have school or somethin tomorrow?" Kyo asked Kagura. She had finally let him go.
"No silly, we have a day off. The teachers are having a conference. So I wanted to come see you and spend some time together."
"Oh yeah, just how I wanted to spend my evening." Kyo grumbled back.
"Now Kyo be nice for once. I don't want any more broken doors." Shigure told him. He just stood up and headed out of the room.
"Oh Kyo, don't leave me." Kagura called after him.
"Leave me alone. I'm going upstairs."
"Why are you so mean to me?" Kagura started. Suddenly her tone got a lot louder. It caused Kyo's hair to stand up.
"I came all the way here to see you and now you don't want to spend any time with me! How cruel can you be? After I pledge so much to you!" She went chasing after him.
"I knew this was gonna happen." Kyo said and ran up the stairs. The whole house shook as Kagura followed him. Kyo made it to his room and hurried out the window before she could catch him.
"I'd say I told you so but it's never done much before." Yuki told Shigure.
"Mmm, Kyo didn't get to eat much of his meal. I know what. I'll finish it for him. Can't let any of this good food go to waste now can we." Shigure answered going for the food left on Kyo's plate. Kagura came back downstairs quietly. She sat down looking at the floor.
"Having another lover's quarrel then?" Shigure asked her between bites.
"Maybe I shouldn't have come. Kyo doesn't seem to want to see me." She mentioned sadly. Tohru walked back in from the kitchen.
"I wouldn't worry about it. He's always like this." Shigure explained. "You know how he is."
"Well yeah but I still really wanted to see him." She answered. Tohru came up with a good idea.
"Hey I know what we can do. Want to play cards?" She asked Kagura. "You've never gotten to play with us before. It's a lot of fun and who knows maybe Kyo will come down and play too." Kagura smiled lightly and nodded her head.
"Okay." She replied. Once the dishes were done Tohru went up to her room to get her cards. She could hear Kyo up on the roof. She decided to go see if he wanted to play.
"Hey Kyo..." She said, catching him off guard. He sat up quickly, giving her an annoyed look. "Sorry, it seems almost impossible to come up here and not scare you. We're playing cards downstairs if you want to come down." She offered.
"Is Kagura still down there?" He asked but already knew the answer.
"Yah know she's not that bad. All she really wants is to spend some time with you. Is that wrong?"
"Yeah but it's not just that. Oh sure that's what she says but she's always like this. Hanging all over me. It get old fast. If it happened to you then you'd know what I'm talking about." Tohru looked down sadly. Her attempts to get him to come down weren't working. She really liked Kagura. She was always so nice to her. And she really wanted things to work out between her and Kyo.
"Kyo...do you really not like her? Is she so annoying?" He didn't answer her. "It's just that she cares so much about you."
"She's not always bad I guess. I mean sometimes when she's serious I can deal with her." He answered running a hand through his bangs. "But she's never serious around me. She gets all girly and when she's not girly, she's beating me up."
"Well we would like it if you came down and played. After all Uo and Hana aren't here and there needs to be some competition." She smiled at him. He just starred back not sure what to say. He finally gave her a small grin and nodded his head.
"Alright I'll come down. But she better behave herself otherwise I'm leaving." He decided.
Tohru- So by the end of the day, everyone was getting along pretty well. Although Kagura still hung all over Kyo even during the game. I guess I can't make everyone happy around here. But at least whenever she's around Kyo and Yuki don't argue at all. And by the time Kagura went home, Kyo seemed to have lightened up to her being around. Then again that might have been because she was leaving.
