Kyo woke up the next morning very heavily. His ribs felt like they had
caved in and his arm hurt to high heaven but he forgot all about it when he
realized where he was and who was there, or should it be who wasn't there.
He jumped up and ran toward the living room to see Yuki asleep on the couch. "Where the hell is Tohru?!" The sudden shrill yell startled Yuki so much he fell off the couch with a thump. He got up sleepily and rubbed his eyes. "She's....good god man, put some clothes on!"
In this new recognition, Kyo darted back to the room he had slept in and put his wrinkled clothes back on from the day before, hurrying to get back to the living room for the much needed information. "Are you happy? Now, where is she, and if you did anything your ass is grass!"
Yuki giggled under his breath. "You mean like yesterday?" True, his eye was slightly swollen and a faint shade of purple from the punch, which actually made him more radiant in its own way matching the tint of his eyes and hair almost perfectly, but it had been another land slide of a victory for Yuki.
"Where is she?" The low growl would have scared any normal person but Yuki was used to it. "Chill, she's in my room still asleep judging from the lack of wonderful smells in the air." Without even listening to Yuki's last comment Kyo staggered into Yuki's room.
Beep beep Beep beep, the alarm clock in the guest room sounded. Chikara opened her eyes and stretched. She quickly scurried to the bathroom and back. It wouldn't be the same but it would be good enough. This was the day!
She silently prowled the hall looking for the room and found it quite easily from Shigure's horrible snoring. She crept to the edge of the bed and looked down at him. This was too easy! What's the sport in this? A few moments after she entered, she walked out feeling as pleased with herself as se could get out of this event.
Shigure woke up from shear irritation and ripped the taped piece of paper off his face. There were only two words on it: Too Easy! He laughed and rolled out of bed. She could have a pure angel for a mother and still be a little evil.
The eggs sizzled and the rice steamed in the maker. Kyo wasn't sure what he was doing but he wanted to do something special for Tohru, if you could call cooking breakfast at your most hated enemy's house 'doing something special'.
Yuki walked down the hall and stopped at the bathroom door. He could hear the shower going. "Miss Honda, I have your towel!" after a moment he heard the water stop and followed by a thump. "Oh my god, Miss Honda!"
Yuki flung the door open and found Tohru sitting on the floor naked. As quickly as he could, he covered her with the towel and turned away. "I am so sorry; I thought you were hurt..." He was interrupted by profuse giggling. "Silly me!"
The now nearly traumatized man stepped out of the bathroom and closed the door slowly behind him, not looking back. He gradually made his way to the kitchen where Kyo was finishing up. The cousins exchanged glances. "Is this what you go through every day?" Kyo gave Yuki an odd look. "What do you mean?" "Err...never mind!"
Now fresh, clean, and dressed, Tohru entered the living room where the men had the food set out. "Ah, I'm so sorry I didn't wake up in time to make it for you all!" She sat down beside Kyo on the couch facing Yuki. Kyo filled her plate and passed it to her, the whole time glaring at Yuki. When the breakfast was finished and Tohru washed the dishes by demand, the couple decided to take their leave. "Now remember, if you ever want to come up, just come!" Tohru insisted, not noticing Kyo's death stare.
It wasn't long until they arrived at Shigure's house. Just stepping foot into the front yard one could feel chaos happening. The quickened their pace just a tad to the front door. "Chikara, we're here to pick you up!" Tohru called.
Up popped their daughter's head from behind a nearby potted plant. "Hey mommy, hey daddy, me and Grandpa Shigure are playing hide and seek and I'm winning! I've been here for twenty minutes and he still hasn't found me!"
The two parents looked at each other and headed for the office where they found Shigure drawing pictures of women. "What the hell are you doing?! You are supposed to be watching her!" Shigure grinned and turned toward Kyo. "She is as bright as you are Kyo! Don't worry, I check on her every now and again!"
Kyo exited the room, steaming. "Thank you Shigure-san. I think the visit last night really helped everything." Shigure smiled heartily at the compliment. "It was my pleasure. Besides, you took so much care of me when you lived here....Oh how I miss my flower!"
They all met in the entrance area of the house and exchanged farewells. As the neko family were about to leave, there was a knock on the door. Tohru happily opened the door to see Kagura standing on the front step. "Tohru! It's been so long!"
He jumped up and ran toward the living room to see Yuki asleep on the couch. "Where the hell is Tohru?!" The sudden shrill yell startled Yuki so much he fell off the couch with a thump. He got up sleepily and rubbed his eyes. "She's....good god man, put some clothes on!"
