Lucy: Thanks for the review; I hope I keep up the style you like.

Tohru woke that morning in complete bliss; Hatori-san was so special. She had no doubt in her mind about their relationship. 'I love you Hatori-san…I love you with all my heart.' Her thoughts remained unchanged as she got dressed, all that she could think of was their first date. 'I wish that kiss would have lasted longer. He's such a gentleman, he didn't take advantage of the kiss either.' Her body made dinner fast and more delicious than ever as she was thinking.

"Tohru?" Shigure looked into the kitchen, smelling breakfast very strongly.

"Yes, Shigure-san?"

"Do you happen to be going out with Ha-san?"

"What…yes…but how?" Her body couldn't say a whole sentence, she was in shock that Shigure had found out so quickly.

"Don't worry, Ayame told me. From what your reaction is…I suppose that's a yes? Well, I won't ask what happened on the date…" His face seemed to show he had already imagined what had happened. That was the problem with Shigure being perverted; there was nothing he couldn't imagine.

"Well, breakfast is almost done…. do Kyo and Yuki know?"

"I wouldn't doubt it, but I'll keep them away from you if you need so Tohru-kun."

"T-thank you Shigure-san." She said softly as she heard Kyo and Yuki enter the room, tension was in the air. She just kept putting breakfast on the table, sitting silently. Kyo made the first move; he of course, was doing it from lack of control.

"You could have told us you like Hatori!" The tension cleared as the silence was cut. Tohru looked down, away from the faces of the other two. Shigure looked at Kyo, his eyes looked strong.

"What is it to you? You two act as if you like her, and when Hatori wants his happiness…you try and take it away? Are you trying to be Akito?" His voice was more confident than usual, not playful at all. He was not going to take any of this at all; he wanted Ha-san to be happy. Tohru felt herself weaker when she heard Shigure's voice; she closed her eyes and got up.

"We don't mean to be angry…" Yuki started as he tried to calm everyone, he didn't want Tohru to run off. "It's just we didn't know."

"You two certainly seem jealous." Shigure sounded more confident, anger seeming to rise. Tohru ran up the stairs, locking her room door with a loud thud. Tears seemed to softly rise out of her eyes and roll down her cheeks as she cried into her pillow.

"You two really don't need to act so jealous, you're hurting Tohru-kun." Shigure's face was angered, looking as if ready to hurt someone. He got up, going up the stairs before Yuki and Kyo were able to get up from the shock of seeing Tohru so hurt. Shigure knocked softly on the door, hearing small sobs from the room. "Tohru-kun…it's just me…please let me in…" Shigure's voice was soft and comforting, not saying anything like a few moments ago. He heard the lock open softly, Tohru's face appearing somewhat there. Her eyes were read and puffy, her face trying to find something to comfort.

"Shigure-san…why… did they say that? Do they…hate me?" Her voice was soft, and barely audible. He put a hand to her shoulder as he whispered in her ear.

"I don't know, but I told them strait up what was up. Do you want call or take you to Ha-san?" Her eyes slightly brightened at the thought, nodding a yes to him. "Well, they are jealous, but had a lousy way of showing it. Yuki at least didn't try to yell it out like Kyo. You can stay up here if you want, I'll call Ha-san."

"Thank you…Shigure-san…Would it be all right if I stayed away for awhile?" She smiled a little, making her face a little brighter than it actually looked.

"Of course, I'll make sure to tell Ha-san that. Don't worry Tohru-kun…I won't let Kyo do that again." She went back into the room, closing it soft this time. Shigure went back down the stairs, looking at Yuki and Kyo with an obvious glare.

"Did I…hurt her?" Yuki asked very confused, he was one of the people that don't intend to hurt others. He loved Tohru, so it was more concerning.

"Kyo may have hurt her more, Yuki…I wouldn't worry." He glared at Kyo with pure hatred…this time he had truly screwed up. He went to the phone, dialing Hatori's phone number hastily. He felt the phone pick up after ten rings, which annoyed him to death.

"Hello?"

"Ha-san, something's happened."

"What happened Shigure?"

"Kyo and Yuki know, but Tohru was extremely hurt by Kyo's yelling. Ha-san, do you think you could spend some time with her? I think it may be a good idea to get away from the house awhile."

"I will always do whatever I can for Tohru-kun. I'll be right over; I finished examining Akito a while ago. Shigure, I won't let her wilt. I will keep blooming with happiness…I promise. If she needs to…she can stay over here for a few days."

"Thank you Ha-san, I want our little flower to be happy…as well as you." Shigure hung up the phone, sitting back down as he waited. He knew what Tohru was thinking right now, and this time Kyo would pay dearly for his mistake. He listened as the door opened again, Tohru's eyes diverted down as she sat back down. Her voice did not come out, and Shigure protectively placed an arm around her. Kyo looked down, he knew what had happened.

"I'm…sorry Tohru…I didn't…" He couldn't get a single sentence out without feeling the need to yell, he wasn't in control when he had yelled. Jealousy still tore at him; he knew Yuki was also jealous. Yuki looked much more calmer, and saw Tohru allowing Yuki to touch her hand. Shigure was still glaring at him like he would Akito. Tohru's eyes were still there, just not looking at anyone. 'I wish I didn't just yell that…I wish I just had not done that. What can I do now? I want to help her but she won't allow it… The doorbell is ringing? Who could be at the door at a time like this?'

"Must be Ha-san." Shigure got up, going to the door. He made his steps soft against the floor as he came face to face with it. He opened it up, finding Hatori's face full of concern. He nodded to Hatori as he came back in the room. "Tohru-kun, Ha-san is here." Her nod was slow as she went to the corner a bag was placed; she put her thin fingers around the bag, walking out of the room. She came face to face with Hatori, her face looking up at him brightly, and then sad.

"Hatori-san…I…" Was all she could get out, as he put a hand under a tear that was coming out of her eyes.

"Don't worry Tohru-kun…I'm right here. I know I can't embrace you…but at least I can help you. I love you Tohru-kun." His voice was soft enough for her ears to hear, and she nodded as he led her to his car. He began to drive as she told him what had happened.

Meanwhile…

Kyo looked ashamed of himself, Shigure had gone into his room to work on his book. Yuki was unable to do anything at the moment; he cleared his voice. "I didn't mean to hurt her…"

"Well, you stupid cat…you did. I told you the night we found out not to yell, but what did you do? You yelled at her!"

"Weren't you jealous too!"

"Of course I was. I wasn't like you, who just say it bluntly. She could have been thinking about that date and you just push her out of that fantasy like some stupid kitten." Yuki's eyes were fierce, and Kyo couldn't take talking anymore. He stood up, trying to punch Yuki, who blocked him. Yuki quickly rebelled back, knocking Kyo strait to the ground, breaking the table. "You think this is easy for me?" Kyo's words couldn't come out. "When I heard it, I couldn't stand it. I was mad at myself for not ever telling her for so long." He let go of Kyo, walking out to his secret base…maybe. Kyo walked out to the roof, now confused on what to do.

Hope you like it, read and review. I update Alice 19th next.
