That morning Yuki woke up before Tohru and he began packing his clothes for the trip. As he sifted through his drawers he noticed all he had were gym clothes a light jacket and school uniforms. Which of course are hardly expectable clothes for the cold harsh conditions of Northern Russia.
'Hmm..." he thought, "I guess we are going shopping today and leaving tomorrow." As this thought passed through his head Kyo-Kun burst into his room.
"Today I will beat you!" Yuki sighed and shook his head thinking,
'I just woke up!!!!'
"Today is the day that the cat shall join the Zodiac! If I can't have Tohru then I will hold a position in the Zodiac!" Yuki walked toward him hunched over and landed one punch on his face slamming him into the far wall. As he turned he stretched and yawned trying to wake up. While he continued looking for warm clothes Kyo tried to sneak off and as he did he uttered,
"Damn rat..."
Tohru woke with to face that she had not seen in quite a while.
"Kagura?" She nodded and put a finger over her mouth telling her to be silent.
"I don't want Kyo to know that I am here... yet. Before I burst in as my old self I wanted to double check that you and Kyo are no longer together that you and Yuki are now a couple. Is this true?" She looked at her with a look that has struck fear into Kyo-Kun's heart on countless occasions.
"Yes it's true." Kagura's eyes sparkled with a child-like innocence as she brought her hands into fists. She stood,
"Thank you Honda-San." She tip toed out of the room flaring her nostrils and punching one hand into her other. "Oh Kyo..." She whispered.
Tohru got out of the bed and scratched her head as she headed for her closet preparing to pack her clothes for the trip. As she started to fold clothes and put them in her suitcase Yuki walked in and closed the door behind him.
"Poor cat, he just might kill himself before the day is over, that is of course if he gets the chance." He bent down to Tohru, who was folding clothes in the floor, and kissed her so passionately that Tohru almost got the breath knocked out of her.
"Good morning to you to!" She said.
"Actually we have to go shopping. So really it's not that good of a day."
"Why do we need to go shopping?"
"Well all I have is school uniforms, that dress, gym clothes, and something I'd rather not share."
"Well what is it." Tohru asked.
"Something I'd rather not share." He turned to look behind him. "Is there an echo in here?"
"Seriously though what is it?" He got on his knees and laid her on the ground straddling her. She blushed furiously and he bent down hugging her.
(Sound effect) "POOF!" A little gray rat sat on her stomach saying,
"Well actually I would like to share, because it means that I get to hug you." She smiled as Yuki hopped off of her and said,
"That is why we need to go shopping. I have no warm clothes."
"Alright we'll leave as soon as we both get ready and then we can come back here, pack and leave before one. Sound good?"
"Anything that you say sounds like chimes in heaven." He said in his rat form, which Tohru could not help but laughing at hearing romantic phrases come from a rat.
"What's funny?" He asked.
"Well I just think that it's funny you talking romantically to me in your rodent form." He 'Poofed' back into his normal self and when he did he leaned forward and kissed her cheek. He came back and brushed some of her hair behind her ear.
"Funny now?" He asked smiling.
"Oh contraire, now it's sexy." She smiled and turned away from habit allowing him to dress.
A good while later Yuki's arms were full of bags from many various clothes stores. It was now two thirty and they were just starting to head for the exit. Tohru was running to doors that lead out of the mall yelling as she went,
"Come on Yuki! If we want to make it to Russia by seven then we have to go." She of course had none of the bags and could move freely where as Yuki's arms were so utterly loaded down with stuff that he could barely waddle, much less run. Yuki started to breath heavily and had to put the bags down.
"Tohru I need a break, I haven't sat down in three hours and," he took a deep breath, "I just need to sit down for a minute."
"But it you do we might not make the plane and..."
"TOHRU!" he said taking in another breath, "You and I have the rest of our lives to spend together, so couple seconds won't hurt." Tohru knew he was right so she sat next to him and put one of her hands on his hands. She felt the blisters on his hands from carrying the bags and she said,
"If you'll drive us back then I will carry the bags to the bar."
"Sure." He said rather unenthusiastically. Tohru bent down and tried to lift the bags all at once... but she fell to the floor. She tried again and she felt like her eyeballs were about to pop out from the strain.
"Ummm Yuki," she asked, "Could you help me with these?" Yuki nodded and walked over picking up all the bags but one.
"Thank you," she said smiling.
Later they were both in their rooms packing there things and both their thoughts wandered to the night they would have after visiting the Indian, but as Yuki thought about it, a thought came to him that didn't occur to Tohru since she didn't really know.
'What if she gets pregnant?' Why it hadn't occurred to him was odd but he really didn't want to use condoms because his brother had told him they completely ruin it. He knew Tohru wasn't taking anything so the question was really very obvious.
'I wonder if the Indian can help with pregnancy too.' He decided to let it go and he would ask the Indian when they got to him. Tohru walked into his room and asked,
"Are you about ready to go?" He nodded as he put the last thing in and zipped it up. She walked in and closed the door behind him.
"Are you excited Tohru?" He asked her with a general concern.
"Actually I am a little bit scared and excited." He stood up and walked over to her taking the side of her face in his hand.
"I would be scared if it was anyone but you." He leaned forward and gently kissed her once, tasting brownie, and he leaned in for more. This time he kissed her longer and harder massaging her tongue with his. He pulled back and smiled saying,
"You need to eat brownies more often. It makes your kisses all that much sweeter." She smiled and leaned in kissing his cheek. As he turned to kiss her neck she pulled back and said,
"We need to go our flight leaves in an hour."
As they walked out the door Shigure came up next to Yuki and stopped him for a moment.
"I know you think you know a lot about intercourse but just incase I gave you some directions." Shigure handed Yuki a piece of paper which made him recoil at its vividness.
"You are nasty."
"I thought it was a pretty good work of art for someone who has never been laid. OH hey. This is what I stopped you for." He handed him three hundred dollars, "Get me one of the potions to please?"
"Alright," He took the money and grabbed Tohru's hand as he helped her into his car.
