Chapter 3 - Annoyance
Leaning dangerously far back in his chair, Shigure practiced not writing on his novel. He had been sitting in his office all day besides a break for dinner and still hadn't written anything.
But after that disturbing dinner, who could expect to be able to concentrate on anything? The food was great, but something unspoken was hanging in the air that was obviously bothering his young roommates. He had this sinking feeling that something dramatic was going on between them.
To confirm his suspicions, a loud crash like a plate breaking came from the kitchen, along with an "I'm so sorry!"
Curiosity overtaking his strong determination to work, Shigure left his study and tiptoed silently through the hallway to the kitchen door. He sat on the floor beside the paper wall and listened to the commotion inside.
"It was all my fault, Kyo-kun, I'm so sorry." he heard Tohru say from within.
"It was just a plate! What's the big deal!" Kyo snapped back at her.
"No, I meant this afternoon."
". . ."
"I'm really sorry, Kyo-kun. I mean, I know better than to . . ."
"Yeah, well then why did you?"
"I know, I'm so stupid. . .but. . .I just. . ."
". . ."
"I know that it has been very hard for you all to live with your curse. But. . .but you must see how hard it is for others too. I don't want to burden you with my problems, but . . . I . . .really like you, Kyo. I've told myself many times that we can not be more then friends, but its hard. . ."
Maybe I shouldn't be listening to this. . . Shigure thought, enrapt by the conversation, ". . .but I really want to
He heard someone sniff and a shuffle of feet, then "God damn it."
"I'm so sorry!!!" Tohru cried.
"Shut up! It is not your fault, damn you! Quit apologizing all the time! You can't help your feelings, and neither can I, so. . .we're just going to have to deal with it!"
"Kyo . . ."
"Now shut up and let's finish these dishes so I can get to bed."
Shigure smiled. No matter how he tried to hide it, Kyo was a very smart and sensitive kid, he knew. And although he was happy for the two, finally expressing their feelings, he couldn't help but recognize the danger and drama knew he would come of this.
"What a problem this Romeo and Juliet will cause!" he sighed. --
"Did you hear something?"
OO Realizing he was still sitting conspicuously by the kitchen door, he zoomed down the hallway as quietly as possible and back into his office.
