Here you go! But don't be expecting one too soon! It'll probably till round March that I update! I've got so many exams coming up...

Chapter 14 – All around is love, dating, and worries

"Kyo! Yuki! Shigure! Breakfast is ready!" Tohru called.

"Ahh…wonderful! What a perfect way to start a tiring day!" Shigure exclaimed.

"You going somewhere today?" Kyo asked, sitting down opposite of Shigure.

"Oh yes! Today, I'm visiting the Timikas! Oh, and check out Hatori too," Shigure grinned.

"I know you will say anyway, so I'll ask, why mention Hatori especially?" Yuki asked, putting a spoon of rice into his mouth.

"Hatori and Ritza are dating!" Shigure said in a singsong voice, while watching everybody's reaction carefully. He was satisfied with the result; everyone froze at the mention of the word 'dating'.

Kyo spit out the bite he had taken all over Shigure's face. "WHAT!"

For once, Tohru was too busy thinking to notice that Shigure's face was covered with rice. "D…dating? They are…? How wonderful!"

"I don't care about Rikza or whatever her name is, but how can Hatori be dating? Doesn't he know the consequences already? He wants to go through all that again?" Kyo spat out.

Shigure carefully wiped the rice off his face before answering mockingly, "I just wanted to know what your reactions will be if I told you they were dating. Yuki, you're eyes are very big, looks very like a innocent girl-" a hit by Yuki on his head, "Kyo, you spat rice all over me, and Tohru, for once, forgot to notice the rice all over my face."

Tohru looked embarrassed, "OH! I'm so sorry! It won't happen again, I promise! So sorry Shigure!"

"It's alright, Tohru. Anyway, they aren't exactly dating yet, but they like each other, that's for sure," Shigure replied, waving her apologies away. "Though they haven't confessed to each other, neither to themselves."

Yuki slammed his bowl of rice into Shigure's face. "Why do you always have to do this kind of thing? Making us worry over nothing!" Yuki said angrily. "I'll be heading to school first." With that, Yuki grabbed his bag and left, slamming the door behind him.

"What's gotten into him?" Kyo asked, shaking his head. "Yu..Yuki…" Tohru stammered. "Don't worry about him, Tohru, let's finish breakfast and leave this pervert here." Kyo said.

"Y..yes."

(On Yuki's way to school)

I had thought he really would have been dating her… Stupid Shigure, making me worry over nothing… It was a relief to hear that it has not happened yet… But in a matter of time… Maybe… He's got to be kidding!

"Stop following me! Get lost! I don't need you anymore, just go away!" A girl's voice interrupted his thoughts. He followed the sound of the guy's voice that continued. "If you are afraid that I will get hurt, then I tell you, I'll be even more hurt if I can't see you anymore! Please, Rin…"

Yuki hid behind a tree where he had a clear view of Rin and Haru talking.

"I don't care if you get hurt! I don't need you anymore! Just leave me alone!" Rin shouted. "I don't! I don't! Not at all!"

"If you really don't, then you would not repeat it so many times to convince yourself that you really don't, do you?" Haru replied. "You were never really good at saying words that protect yourself. But fine, I'll not persuade you for now. But I can promise you, I'll never give up!"

With that, Hatsuharu walked away, leaving Rin alone. After making sure he was out of sight, Rin knelt down and cried.

(In class)

"Alright class, turn to page 142! We're starting on a new chapter. Can anyone tell me what does…" Yuki's teacher said.

But Yuki wasn't listening. He was lost in deep thought… until…

"Yuki! Can you please pay attention?" the teacher shouted. "I've been trying to get your attention for the past three minutes! Even the girls surrounding you could not wake you up!"

Yuki snapped back into reality immediately. He stood up and said, "I'm so sorry, Miss. I promise it will not happen again today."

The teacher nodded and went back to ranting about history. One of his classmates, a girl, leant forward and asked, "Yuki? Are you all right? Do you need any help? I can help you take down your notes, if you are too tired." She fluttered her eyes at him; while other girls flashed her evil glances.

Yuki turned down the offer. "Thanks for asking, but I'm fine." The girl looked disappointed and glanced away. "Oh."

"Hmm…Tohru, anything terrible happened to Yuki today?" Saki Hanajima asked in her usual soft and scary tone.

"I'm not sure, but after Shigure said something about his friends dating, he got angry and stormed to school," Tohru said, not mentioning Hatori.

"Something about dating? Man, Yuki must like someone to be affected like that!" Arisa Uotani said. "Oh well, it's none of your business, so stay out of it."

"But, Uo, I'm worried about him… What if he's emotionally hurt badly? What if…" Tohru said worriedly.

"Tohru, there are so many what ifs in the world! What if he was just in a bad mood like that to snap like that? What if he just happens to…" Hana replied.

"Alright, Hana, I get your point. Sorry for being a burden to you two. Thank you so much. I'm the luckiest girl in the world!" Tohru said happily, managing a laugh. But she was still worried about Yuki, and decided to ask him about it.

Sorry if it's a bit too short! But then, well, I'm trying to write a whole based story, if you know what I mean... Meaning: The story to be on everything, from Tohru and Sohmas house to school to Timikas...etc... Ok...That's it... I will try to update as soon as possible! And many thanks to my reviewers!
