Chapter 5
"Ah... arigato Hatori-san but I think I'll stay here a little longer."
"Sou sou. You haven't been here for quite some time. And Kyo is coming home tonight. He'll be back about... seven I think."
"Seven? Till then, be careful with that dog."
"Ah, Ha-san, yadda. Must you say this now? Can't you say something to make sweet Tohru feel better?"
"That's your job."
Tohru just smiled politely in return. Knowing Shigure, he's actually a nice person. There's nothing to worry about. With that, Hatori left both of them in the wooden house. Tohru kept thinking about the matter. How is she able to help?
"Shigure-san, please tell me how I can help. I am willing to do anything to help Yuki."
"Anything? Tohru, be careful with your words. They might land you in great trouble..."
There's something sinister and dark in Shigure's words... and the tone when he mentioned them just now... a little unlike him... but Tohru is far too worried about Yuki to notice that.
"Shigure-san, I am serious. If I can help Yuki, I'll do anything!"
"Well... I can't say there isn't a way..."
"Really? Please tell me!"
"I am not sure whether it will work...it's a silly idea but then... Tohru, promise me you won't tell anyone about this, especially Hatori if you really want to help."
"I promise."
"I have a spare key of the main house. Though I'd had it for a long time, I believe they never change the lock. Perhaps someone can break in and save Yuki."
Tohru was shocked. What? Break-in to Akito-san's house? Isn't this dangerous? It's illegal! What if she get caught?
Sensing Tohru's shock (he IS a dog after all), Shigure smiled and said,
"Maa... that was just a stupid suggestion. I was just kidding Tohru- kun. Don't take it seriously."
Is he really kidding? But Tohru was really thinking hard. If that can save Yuki, it's worth any price to pay. But... okasan said it's wrong to break into other people's house! Not to mention entering without permission... what should she do now? She need time to consider about it...
"Ah, Shigure-san, since I am here and Kyo-kun will be back, why don't I just cook a simple dinner for both of you?"
"There's no need for such trouble... I can order delivery."
"No, it's okay... I haven't cook for a long time anyway..."
So Tohru went to the kitchen...
"Ah!" the kitchen was messy but not as messy as she first arrived here. She managed to find some vegetables and meat in the empty fridge. Though not much but it's enough for two people. Remembering Kyo's 'allergic' towards leek, she tried her best to avoid cooking it and concentrate on other ingredients.
After half an hour later...
"Shigure!" (bang!)
"Ah, Kyo-kun! Okaerinasai!" (Tohru)
"Ahhhhh!!!??? Tohru!? What are you doing here!?"
"Ah... I don't have much to do today so I thought of dropping by and visit all of you..."
"Oh. Where's Shigure?"
"I think he's taking a bath upstairs..."
All of a sudden both of them are silent. Tohru just stood there looking confused and a little red-eyed. Kyo stood there without moving. Wondering what he's supposed to say or do. He guessed that Tohru had already known the 'trouble' about Yuki being dragged back to the main house. Shigure had mentioned to the others about telling it to Tohru but seems like Hatori opposed to it. Perhaps Shigure had told Tohru about it and that's why she looked a little 'different'... unlike her cheerful and genki manner all this while...
"Ah, fire!!!"
"Ah... arigato Hatori-san but I think I'll stay here a little longer."
"Sou sou. You haven't been here for quite some time. And Kyo is coming home tonight. He'll be back about... seven I think."
