Silence lay heavily upon the trio as they made their way in to town, despite Tohru's best attempts to provoke conversation. Still, she remembered from the last such instance not to make a big deal of the awkward silences that were becoming characteristic of any room Kyo and Yuki occupied together.
Still, she couldn't help but worry to herself, Maybe it was a mistake to make Yuki come with us. Maybe I shouldn't be going at all. But after Kyo-kun was so kind as to finish my chores so I could see this movie, it wasn't like I could refuse the opportunity.
"So, have you heard much about this film?" Tohru asked.
Kyo looked at her, but turned away when Yuki responded, "I did hear that it was a very dramatic film that received high praise from the more feminine audience."
Tohru gasped, "I hope you don't mind!"
Yuki shook his head, "Not at all. It's nice to relax in the theatre, regardless what's playing."
"That means you really don't want to see it!" Tohru said sadly. "I'm sorry, we could have gone to something else another day."
Yuki smiled, "I probably wouldn't have enjoyed any of the other films more."
"Then we could have done something other than see a movie," Tohru said.
Kyo, unable to control his temper any longer, spat, "Why do you have to rearrange all your plans for that damn rat?! It's not like he's worth it!"
Tohru stuttered, "Well I also want to accommodate to you, Kyo-kun."
"That's not the point," Kyo yelled.
"The point is," Yuki interrupted, "that you shouldn't take your anger out on Honda-san."
"I wouldn't be if you hadn't interloped on our plans," Kyo replied venomously.
"I was invited," Yuki reminded him.
"Kyo-kun, I thought you said it was okay," Tohru said, eyes filling with tears.
Kyo sighed, letting his anger recede a bit, "It is. I don't care if he's here or not."
"Yeah," Yuki replied sarcastically, "It doesn't sound like you mind at all from the way you've been sulking the whole time."
"I have not been sulking, you damn rat!" Kyo screamed, reviving his rage.
"You must not know the meaning of sulking then, stupid cat," Yuki replied calmly.
"You may not want to employ those terms so close to town," Tohru cautioned. "It would only increase people's suspicions of your behavior."
"How could that make them catch on?" Kyo asked, confused.
Tohru smiled a bit, "Well, Kyo-kun, you often act like a cat. Hearing that nickname would only add to their theory, don't you think?"
"I suppose," Kyo conceded. "I suppose I could be civil, that is if the damn ra – Yuki – can."
"We're doomed," Yuki said, sighing.
And with that they stepped off of the forest path into the town and headed toward the theatre.
