Konnichiwa! How was it? I smell a love triangle going on here. Of course there always was but…I sort of…say spiced it up a bit. Anyway, here is chapter 4.

Chapter 4
Uo and Hana
Tohru woke up on the couch the next morning.
"(yawn) Where, where am I?" She had not noticed that she had fallen asleep on the couch last night.
'Oh, I'm so stupid, I fell asleep on the couch! I must go apologize to Yuki!' Tohru thought urgently. She rushed upstairs silently and knocked on her door.
"Um, Yuki-kun? Are you awake?" Tohru opened her door quietly. Just so all you know, Tohru has already forgotten that Yuki kissed her last night.
" Ms. Honda? Sorry, you had already fallen asleep on the couch so I grabbed a few blankets and slept here."
"Oh, I'm so sorry Yuki, I didn't mean to fall asleep on the couch, I can't even remember what I was thinking about. But I feel so stupid, I'm really sorry." Tohru got into one of her "sorry" fits again.
"Ms. Honda it's quite alright. I slept fine in here. So don't panic."
"(Sigh) That's good. Anyway, um…I'd like to get dressed now, so…" Tohru said happily.
"Oh, of course. Sorry Ms. Honda."
"Thanks, I'll be right out." Tohru shut her door behind Yuki and got dressed into a bright yellow, low cut sundress. She pulled the sides back into a ribbon and walked out of her room to run straight into Kyo. Poof!
"Oh, no, I am so sorry Kyo. I'm so stupid I can't believe it. I am so SORRY!" Tohru said sincerely panicking.
She picked up Kyo and his clothes and carried him into her room.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry."
"Will you stop saying that?! It was an accident so stop apologizing!" He yelled. Tohru set him on her bed next to his clothes.
"Okay." Tohru sighed and turned around just in time before another poof and Kyo was back to normal. He quickly got dressed.
"Okay, you can turn around now." Kyo said lazily.
"Okay." Tohru said happily. Kyo shook his head.
"So, what would you like for breakfast?" Tohru asked kindly.
"I don't care as long as it isn't…"
"No silly, I was thinking some pancakes? "
"Yeah, sure."
"Okay!" Tohru said excitedly and bounded off to the kitchen. Kyo sighed and walked out of her room.
"Having fun are we?" A familiar voice rang out. Kyo turned around to see Akito staring at him intensely.
"What do you want?" Kyo asked.
"I just want to know if that ugly girl is taking care of my precious family." Just then something in Kyo rose to the surface.
"Don't you ever talk about her like that!" Kyo screamed. Akito glared and walked slowly towards him.
"What did you say?"
"I said don't-you-ever-talk-about-her-like-that-AGAIN! She is the kindest person any of us have ever met and she doesn't freak when we change! She cooks and cleans for us, and she worries about us! She does nothing but take care of us so don't you ever speak about her like that! " Kyo yelled. Akito swung his fist at Kyo, hitting him square in the jaw. He swung a series of punches to his chest and stomach and finally back to his jaw, sending him flying into the wall. He hit the wall hard making it break and Kyo fell from the second story.
Downstairs Tohru heard the crash.
"Kyo? Yuki?" Tohru walked outside to see Kyo, struggling to get up. She ran to his side and kneeled down next to him.
"Kyo! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." He said roughly. His efforts to get up were fruitless. Tohru's eyes started to fill with tears. She looked over his body. He had cuts and scraps all over his body and face and his jaw was starting to swell.
"Shigure! Hatori!" Tohru called into the house, her voice filled with frantic worry.
First came Shigure and then Hatori.
"Kyo? Did you and Yuki get into a fight again?"
"Shut up Shigure."
"Hatori, he's hurt." Tohru choked out.
Just then they heard a car door shut and they knew that Akito had left.
"Tohru, go inside. I'll get Kyo in there." Hatori said.
"But…" Hatori smiled.
"It's alright, go on." Hatori said, slinging Kyo's arm around his shoulder.
"Okay, I'll go get his bed set up." Tohru rushed inside.
"What did you say to make him so mad at you? He said something about Tohru didn't he?" Hatori asked and Kyo nodded.
"Well, lets get you inside."
"I swear everyone is trying to destroy my house." Shigure said.
"Are you coming or are you going to stand out here and complain about your house?" Hatori asked, a little annoyed. Shigure came trotting in after Hatori. Tohru walked behind them to make sure that Hatori didn't fall.
"There. Now, let me get my bag and I'll be right back."
"I'll go make you some pancakes in case you get hungry." Tohru said brightly as she scurried off to the kitchen downstairs.
"So, what did he say?" Shigure said starting towards the door.
"None of your business." Kyo said.
"You do know you had her extremely worried, once she saw how badly hurt you were she started crying." Shigure said his final words as he walked out of the room before Kyo could comment.
But he didn't feel like commenting. It was true. He could hear it in her voice. But, if they only knew…
Hatori came in a few minutes later and sat down next to his bed.
"You took quite a beating from him."
"Yeah, but look what it got me."
"Was it worth sticking up for her?" Hatori asked as he swabbed Kyo's cuts with peroxide. He winced at the searing pain the medicine brought but calmed a little as Hatori started to wash it. He wrapped his badly cut wounds and bandaged up his small scraps.
"I guess." Kyo answered finally. Hatori smiled and stood up.
"There wont be any school for you today, or for a few days. Since you fell from a two-story wall. I still can't see how you could anger him so much?"
"…" Kyo had nothing to say.
A few minutes before Hatori left Kyo's room. Tohru came rushing in with Kyo's pancakes.
"I sort of figured you weren't going to go to school, and I wish that I could stay here and take care of you, but…I promised my mom I would graduate high school, so I have to go. I made you a lunch and it is in the refrigerator, so if you get hungry just ask Shigure. I made him promise to take care of you and not let you out of this bed. I called in to work and told them I couldn't come in today so I will be home as soon as school is over to check up on you." Tohru said in a rush. She was already dressed into her school uniform.
Hatori just stood there and smiled. It was rare for him but he was even trying to hold in a laugh.
"Alright, alright, I get it. Don't leave the bed. Thank you for breakfast." Kyo said.
"Okay, bye Kyo. I'll see you as soon as I get home."
"Don't worry. I won't leave you here with Shigure." Hatori whispered. Kyo smiled and lay back down in bed.
Tohru walked with Yuki and Momiji to school. She couldn't help but worry about him.
Yuki looked down at Tohru who had been quiet the entire way to school. It made him jealous to know that the stupid cat was getting more attention then him, but he was being selfish. Kyo was really hurt and he was a little curious as to what he said to make him mad.
"Ms. Honda?" Yuki asked softly. Tohru had been in her own little world the whole time that when she heard her name she jumped slightly.
"Huh? Oh, sorry Yuki, what is it?"
"Are you alright?" He asked knowing that she was worried about Kyo.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just hope Shigure doesn't give Kyo too much trouble." Tohru said staring at the ground.
Yuki sighed. It was no use. He had to cheer her up somehow.
"Once Kyo gets better, maybe we can all, go to fair that is coming. Would you like that Ms. Honda?" Tohru's head shot up.
"Yes very much. I can't wait to go! Thank you Yuki. For cheering me up." Tohru smiled brightly at him. Making Yuki himself, smile in return.
Some of "Prince Yuki's" Fan girls were watching them.
"Hey, kiddo." Uo shouted to her and Yuki.
"Hello, Uo, hello Hana."
"Good morning Tohru. Your waves are a bit off. What are you worried about?" Hana asked.
Tohru smiled. "Oh, Kyo had a little accident. He fell off the roof. So he is in bed right now. I am just worried if he will be okay." Uo and Hana looked at Tohru startled.
"Orangy fell off the ROOF?!" Uo asked amazed.
"Is he okay?" Hana asked.
"Yes, I think so, he seemed fine when I left. He just has a bunch of cuts and scrapes." Tohru said in relief. Though she was still worried about him. Hana looked at Tohru sympathetically. She knew her friend would not stop worrying about him until he got better, but she was happy that Tohru was okay.
BRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNG!
"Let's go, or we are going to be late for class." Yuki said as they ran into the school.
The day went by pretty slowly for Tohru. She wanted to get home to see if Kyo was doing all right, and that Shigure wasn't bothering him too much.
Meanwhile, at the house, that was just what Shigure was doing. Making trouble for Kyo. In his own little way.
"What did he say about Tohru that made you so angry Kyo-kun?" Shigure asked for about the millionth time that day. Hatori sat in the corner with Shigure drinking tea. To Kyo's dismay, Ayame had come over to talk to Yuki and to find Hatori.
"So, Akito-san said something about Tohru? What did he say?" Ayame asked for about the thousandth time that day.
"Will, you two stop pestering the poor boy, especially you Ayame." Hatori said as he hit them on the head with his book for the millionth and one time that day.
"Oh, alright. But I will get it out of you sometime." Shigure said to Kyo.
"If I tell you will you shut up and go away?" Kyo asked in defeat.
"Oh, yes! So, what did Akito say?"
Hatori looked at Kyo for a moment and smiled.
"He said…leave me alone and go away." Kyo said. Shigure sighed.
"Really?" Ayame asked.
"(Sigh) Aaya, I swear, sometimes you can be so dense." Shigure said.
"Oh, so that's not what he said?"
"No, Ayame. Now leave the poor boy alone. Tohru wants him to get some rest, and he can't do that with you two pestering him all the time. If he wanted to tell you, then he would have by now." Hatori said. He winked at Kyo, who smiled.
His eyes were getting heavy and he could feel sleep overcome him. Soon, he was off in dreamland.
Dream…
"Is that ugly girl anywhere around here? I want to speak to the vermin." Akito asked. Kyo's anger boiled to the surface.
"Don't you ever talk about her like that!" Kyo screamed.
"Kyo is everything alright?" Tohru came upstairs. Akito turned around and grabbed her by the back of the neck.
" Is this what the thing you were talking about?! Is this the thing that is taking care of my family? I am not going to leave the well being of my family, In the hands of a pathetic girl!" Akito yelled. He threw Tohru across the room by her neck. A loud snapping sound rang through the room.
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Kyo sat up. He was drenched in cold sweat. Only Hatori sat in the corner sipping his tea.
"Are you alright Kyo?!" Came an urgent voice from the doorway. He focused his eyes on the figure and recognized it as Tohru. She had just got back from school and dressed into the yellow dress she had on this morning. She had heard his scream and rushed in to see if he was okay.
"Tohru? What are you doing home?"
"I told you, I called in sick at work so I could come home to check up on you silly. Are you okay?" She asked walking into his room and over to his bed.
"I'm fine."
"Is everything alright Ms. Honda?" Yuki asked from the doorway.
"Yeah, I think he just had a nightmare." Tohru said sweetly.
Yuki nodded and walked down the stairs. Momiji came bounding in, still in his school uniform.
"Kyo Kyo, is Kyo okay?" Momiji asked.
"I'm fine." Kyo said aggravated.
Tohru sighed in relief.
"Everyone has been worried about you Kyo, even Uo and Hana come over to check on you. They'll be up any minute." Tohru smiled warmly at him.
"Hey Orangy. Heard you fell off the roof." Uo said jokingly.
"How are you feeling?" Hana asked smiling. She his waves before they came in and it was a very interesting feeling she got. It was still filled with chaos, but it had a hint of happiness and…
"What are you two doing here?" Kyo asked roughly.
"We came to check up on you. And make sure you all were taking care of our Tohru here."
"Oh, you two. I told you before I am fine. They look after me so well." Tohru smiled happily.
Kyo just stared at the three of them and rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, we have to go, kiddo. So we will see you tomorrow. Bye, Orangy." Uo and Hana waved and left.
"I hope Shigure didn't give you too much trouble." Tohru asked with a hint of guilt in her voice.
"No, no, not at all." Kyo lied.
"I'm sorry." Tohru said sadly.
"For what?" Kyo asked.
"Well, Shigure probably wouldn't stop bugging you and I noticed Ayame is here and I know how much you hate him and I wasn't thinking so I'm sorry." Tohru cried.
"Don't start crying. Please. He really wasn't that big of a pain. Neither was Ayame, so please stop crying." Kyo said urgently. Hatori smiled in his corner. It was getting harder and harder for Kyo to get angry with her.
"Okay." Tohru said happily. She trotted out of the room.
"It is getting harder and harder for poor Kyo to get angry at Tohru Tohru." Momiji said jumping on his heels
"Shut up!" Kyo yelled at him. Hatori couldn't help but give a quiet snicker.
"Not you too Hatori?" Kyo yelled. Throwing pillows at them both.
"Sorry, Kyo, but it does seem that way." Hatori laughed.
"This is stupid! OUT! GET OUT!" Kyo screamed. Momiji and Hatori walked out of the room laughing. Kyo's cheeks red with embarrassment
Now that he was alone again, he could think clearly.
'What am I going to do? How am I suppo…"
"KYO!!!" Came a screech from the doorway.
Who is this screaming person? I'll give you one guess. See if you can figure it out before I upload the next chapter. Until then, Sayonara.
