Exhausted, Tohru fell asleep cradled in Shigure's strong arms. After letting her doze in his bed for a while, Shigure wrapped her up in his sheets, and carried her to her room. Laying her down, he found a light nightgown, and pulled it over her before tucking her into bed. Smiling down he brushed Tohru's hair back from her neck, and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Closing the door behind him, Shigure sighed. He had to do it, it was the only way, and Shigure couldn't truthfully say that he regretted it at all.
Tohru woke the next morning slightly flushed from memories of the past night. 'I can't believe I did that,' she thought to herself. 'Oh Mom! Please don't be disappointed in me.' Tohru blushed as she thought about it even more, 'What's more is I can't say that I didn't enjoy it.' She got out of bed, and headed to the bath to clean up before she made breakfast.
Tohru started to cook the rice for breakfast when Yuki wandered into the kitchen. He was still fast asleep, and headed straight for the fridge. Pulling out the orange juice, he poured a glass, took a drink, woke up fully, and smiled over at Tohru.
"Good morning, Miss Honda. Did you sleep well?" Yuki asked politely.
Panicking a bit at the thought, she managed a strangled, "Fine, thank you."
Yuki looked at her, surprised a little at the curt response. "Well, I'm glad of that. I'll be in the living room if you need me."
He headed to leave the kitchen as Kyo charged in. Kyo slammed into Yuki's shoulder, hard.
Already in a bad mood, he spun around and yelled at Yuki's back. "You damn rat! Get your ass back here, and face me like a man! You're not getting out of this fight!"
Yuki just kept walking leaving Tohru with a steaming Kyo.
"Mornin' Tohru," Kyo muttered, clenching his fists. "I'll beat that rat someday," he said glaring at the direction of the door where Yuki had left through.
Blushing slightly, Tohru looked at Kyo wondering what it'd be like doing what she did with Shigure with him. Shaking herself out of this reverie, she asked Kyo to help her move the breakfast food into the dining area.
As all three of them sat down to eat breakfast, Shigure shuffled into the room.
At the sight of him Tohru turned a bright red. Shigure just smiled a little, and patted her head encouragingly on his way to his seat. Yuki and Kyo gave the two a double take wondering what that was for, but both shrugged it off and returned to their meals.
"Um...Kyo...when we're finished with breakfast, can you help me move some things upstairs for cleaning?" Tohru asked shyly.
Kyo looked up a bit surprised by the request, but nodded yes.
Yuki asked, "Wouldn't it be faster with two pairs of hands?"
Tohru blushed at the thought, and managed to say, "I think Kyo can handle it alone, but I do have some things from the store that I need to have picked up. Would you mind doing some errands for me?"
"Not at all, Miss Honda. It would be my pleasure," Yuki smiled kindly.
"I'll go get the list now," Tohru said jumping up from the table, and running out of the room. Shigure merely smiled knowingly at her receding back, and got another pair of confused looks from Yuki and Kyo.
