Chapter 26: Circus Act

Princess Sango

Tohru watched as the car drove up to her apartment, along with the moving van. Watching as Momiji, Hatori, Kisa, Kyo, Shigure, Haru, Hiro, and the rest of them walked out of the car. "Guten tag!"

"Hi everyone, why don't you come in?" Tohru asked them sincerely as she moved away from the door to let everyone inside.

"Sugoi Tohru-chan, it's such a wonderful apartment," Shigure said.

"It's okay, really, it's not that great," Tohru answered Shigure, blushing slightly.

"Oh, yes it is Tohru-chan!" Ayame insisted, as Tohru backed up into Yuki.

Yuki on the other hand, groaned in annoyance at his brother's antics and hugged Tohru close. "Shigure, did you start the construction on the house?"

"Yes I started, really I did," Shigure insisted, and Yuki's eyes became slitted.

"Did he Kyo?"

"What? Oh, yeah he did, I made sure the baka no inu started it," Kyo answered smugly.

Yuki smiled, "Thanks Kyo, now why don't we start loading the truck, or did you not eat yet?"

Everyone looked at Yuki, "We didn't eat yet."

Tohru looked at everyone, "Oh, you must be starving then, so I'll make something real quick. Yuki, why don't you show them around the house? After all this is a Sohma building, and I'm sure they'll be using it sometime."

Yuki nodded to his fiancé and walked out of the room and directly into the kitchen. Sighing she started to start a nice simple meal to hold them over for awhile. Yuki on the other hand, was trying to keep everyone from breaking the remaining items in the house. After everyone was done with the tour, Tohru was almost done with the meal. Yuki was the first to walk into the room, "You know the adult table won't be enough right?"

"Yeah, I know, so would you mind setting the tables? I mean if that's okay with you…" Tohru said nicely.

"It's okay, really Tohru, and I need to start helping, and I mean that's what family's do right?"

Tohru smiled at him, "Use the paper ones since we already packed everything else."

When she was done with that, everyone walked inside and started eating Tohru's delicious meal. Of course, Tohru and Yuki had already eaten so they were in the kitchen cleaning up what little was left. Yuki started to help but Tohru shook her head, "Don't bother Yuki, I can clean it."

"No, really it's okay Tohru-chan," Yuki answered Tohru, trying to tell her that he wanted to help her. Smiling, Tohru nodded as she allowed Yuki to help her, trying to reassure herself that it would be okay if Yuki helped.

"You know, is it really okay if we move build on Shigure's property, he won't mind?"

"It's fine Tohru, haven't we been through this before? It's okay to build on Shigure's property, since he wants you there anyway," Yuki assured her as the Sohma's one by one started to throw away their paper plates and the plastic silverware. After the kitchen was cleaned up and everyone wasn't hungry, started to pick up the boxes in the house and moved them to the truck. Of course there were some complications, it seemed Momiji's taste in adventure isn't different, since he would pick up a box and shake it, even the fragile boxes.

Of course, Yuki yelled at Momiji, telling him to quit ruining Tohru's stuff. While Hiro stood there and ordered everyone around, everyone else on the other hand tried to work despite the minor (okay maybe major) flaws. When the loading was finished, everyone sat down on the beds that were left, since Tohru reasoned that only the items were important, and beds could be bought brand new.

"So Tohru-chan, is it true that you're going to marry Yuki-san?" Kisa asked Tohru intently.

"Yes, I am getting married to Yuki," Tohru answered as she blushed slightly. Looking at Yuki, they met eyes, "As soon as we get settled I'll start planning."

"Ah, so does Ayame know?" Shigure asked in his singsong voice.

"No, at least I don't think he does," Tohru said as she put her finger up to her mouth and looked thoughtful.

Every Sohma in the room didn't say anything when Tohru asked where Ayame, Kagura, and Kana were. "Oh, well Kagura's pregnant and we didn't want her to come all the way out here and Kana offered to stay with her. As for Ayame, he had to stay and work," Kyo answered.

Yuki smiled, "Yeah, and now that they're married, I think this is the first time Kyo's been by himself since. Then again…"

Kyo snorted and looked away, "Damn rat, you know that when Kagura and I got married we made an agreement, she stop beating me up and I'll be nice."

Yuki looked over at Tohru and smiled, as if to say, we don't have to worry about that with each other. Tohru nodded at Yuki, "Well why don't we head home now?"

"Sure, who wants to drive the truck?" Hatori asked the group.

"I will, better to be in the small truck then in the van crammed with everyone else," Kyo answered and got up and grabbed the keys and walked out of the room. Everyone else walked out of the of the room and loaded the van. Home, the word sounded good, and home was where they were headed, together.
