"Thank you so much for letting me brush your hair Sohma-kun! It's so pretty and shiny...not like mine!" Tohru chimed happily, brushing through each beautiful lock of Yuki's hair, "It's fun to do this!"
Kyo lay on the floor next to the two other teenagers in the living room, pouting and jealous. The girl had come to him before and offered and he had simply refused being the manly man he was. The stupid man was more like it! He was just about over it and got up to go pout in a more personal and private place...like the roof.
"I have never had anyone brush my hair before and it feels kind of good. Thank you for doing this Miss Honda. Maybe we can do it again?" Yuki offered as kindly and gently as he could. Tohru smiled and kept on brushing in silence. Kyo's eye started twitching. "That's it! I'm going u..."
"Hey, what's that in your hair Sohma-kun?" Tohru asked, and pulled out a small object from the locks with a worried look on her face. Intrigued by the mysterious find, the neko turned around just short of the door and sat back down. "What are you talking about Miss Honda?" Yuki asked, turning around to face her and the object.
"It's a lice bug!" Kyo yelled, getting a closer look at it. The three looked at each other in shear horror, especially the 'owner' of the bug. "My life is over..." Yuki whispered inaudibly. "Ahahahahahahahaha this couldn't get any better!" Kyo was on the floor rolling with laughter. "Shut up baka, you probably have them too..." Yuki growled.
"Heh, I don't think so! Why would I get um' from you?" Kyo giggled but stopped suddenly. The two boys looked at Tohru simultaneously. "Check my head too!" the neko yelled and plopped himself down in front of the girl. She uneasily picked her way through his bright orange, shaggy hair. "Nope, I see nothing!" she responded and Kyo sighed with relief.
After much arguing, Yuki and Kyo took turns checking Tohru with no signs of life. "So you're the only one Sohma-kun? But who could have possibly given them to you??" Tohru inquired. Head hung low in humiliation, the Sohma boy just shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "I don't know, but whoever it was is going to pay dearly..."
"Hey you guys! I'm out of the bath, whoever wants it next!" Shigure said cheerfully, sticking his head in through the door to see what was going on and scratching his head, "Dang, my head must be sensitive to hot water cuz man has it been itching for a couple of days!"
