Hey! I'm going to be gone for on a school trip to Canada, so it may be a week or so until I update again. My computer is still a little messed up, but functioning somewhat.
I'm glad you liked the one with Momiji. I was a little unsure of how to go about it Also for those of you who have problems imagining him, think of the more mature Momiji in the boy's uniform.
Enjoy, and sorry not much really happens in this chapter.
Shigure and Hatori got back to the house about three hours later to find Momiji and Tohru curled up in bed together.
"Aww...they do look darling together," Shigure sighed as he looked through the doorway.
"They are innocent still, besides all that has happened, they're so young," Hatori whispered sadly, as he rested his head against the door.
"You know, I think it would be best if you took her back to the main house with you," Shigure added as he closed the door quietly behind him.
Hatori looked at Shigure, surprised, "The main house?"
"I think you should spend some time with her, since I know you feel a little uncomfortable with the situation."
Hatori paused, the finally, sighed, "I can see your point. She can go home with Momiji and I tomorrow morning. You don't mind if I spend the night, do you?"
"Not at all, Ha'ri. You know that your always welcome in my home," Shigure grinned throwing his arm over Hatori's shoulder.
Hatori gave a little smile, and follow Shigure back downstairs for a nightcap.
Yuki and Kyo both walked into the kitchen at about the same time.
Yuki stumbled around some, and with his hair mussed. He yawned, "Ugh, slept like crap...stayed out to late...awful movie...where's Tohru?"
"Where's Tohru?! She's probably still in bed with that damn rabbit!" Kyo roared, slamming a fist into the wall next to him.
"Hey, you know she had to, like she had to with you, stupid cat," Yuki snapped, finally waking up.
"You damn rat, I'll beat the shit out of you!" Kyo yelled, raising a fist.
"Oh yeah, I'd like to see you try," Yuki taunted dodging Kyo's blows.
"Guys, please don't fight," a tired looking Tohru said softly from the doorway.
Both boys paused, and dropped their arms. Kyo blushed and looked away, while Yuki stared at his toes.
"Morning'," Kyo mumbled, then looked at Tohru with very sad eyes before quickly glancing away.
Yuki raised his head, and smiled, "I hope you slept well, Miss Honda."
"Thank you, both of you. I was worried that you were fighting over something having to do with me," she smiled heading over to the counter to start getting breakfast ready.
Yuki and Kyo exchanged quick looks, both silently agreeing to not mention their reason for arguing (beyond the usual) for her sake.
Shigure and Ha'ri walked in to the smells of a delicious meal that Tohru had prepared with a professional speed.
Momiji bounced in a few minutes later, looking very happy. He gave Tohru a big hug before sitting down for breakfast. Yuki and Kyo glared at him, while thinking, "Why can't I do that? I can hug her now all I want without transforming."
About halfway through the meal, Hatori announced the news, "Tohru, I would like it if you would accompany me and Momiji back to the main house. You won't have to stay long, but...I thought that it might make things a little easier." He winced slightly at the implications of his words, but looked up at her with a calm face.
Yuki jerked physically at the thought of Tohru spending that much time in the near vicinity of Akito.
Kyo grumbled under his breath something about being greedy and keeping her away from him.
Tohru blinked, a bit surprised at the question, but smiled, "It would be an honor if Shigure doesn't mind losing his housekeeper for a while."
"Go ahead, Tohru," Shigure said waving a hand. "Don't worry it'll all be waiting for you when you get back. So you have my permission, if the boys don't mind."
All eyes turned on a flustered Kyo and Yuki, both fighting their protective instincts. They knew that this was the best way for Tohru to have the chance to meet every one easily, and thus lift the curse.
"Okay," they both muttered on cue, but Kyo sharply added, "But we're going to check on her each day to make sure she's happy, and nothing hurts her in any way."
"We'll keep in touch, but you can stop by. You needn't worry, I'll take the best care of her possible," Hatori smiled softly at a blushing Tohru.
"Yay! You can come stay with me, Tohru!" Momiji said happily throwing his arms around her.
Tohru smiled a little, not entirely sure what to think of everything before jumping up, "I should go pack up my things! You'll be wanting to leave soon."
"Sit down, and finish your food. I won't let them leave without you," Shigure said waving for her to get back to her seat.
