Chapter 6-The Truth

A/N-I'm sorry I didn't update sooner (it's been, like, a week, or something). I have an excuse, though. I went to the science fair and I wrote this chapter there, but I couldn't read my handwriting. This is how much I could decipher, so I'm sorry it's a shorter chapter than the others.

Tohru took a deep breath as she entered Shigure's house. She slowly stepped in, "Hello?"

Shigure pranced in, "Our delicate flower has returned from work early. To what do we owe this honor?"

She replied, "I, uh, um, er, I didn't actually go to work. I, ahem, visited Hatori at the main house."

"I knew it! You two are eloping!"

Yuki and Kyo appeared out of nowhere and knocked him unconscious. Kyo said, "Don't listen to that idiot."

Yuki asked, "So, what were you doing at the main house?"

"Let's wait for Shigure to wake up. Then, I'll tell all of you," Tohru replied.

A few minutes later, Shigure woke up. Tohru announced, "I guess it's time to tell you the truth."

"What truth?" Yuki asked.

"Well, you see, um… before I was born, my mom had fallen in love with… um…"

"Who?" Kyo asked.

"Well, that's what I have to tell you. It's, erm… My father is Akito."

Nobody said anything for a while. Finally Shigure said, "So, Akito isn't a virgin… I never would have guessed."

Tohru was about to tell them the rest when the telephone rang. Shigure answered, "Hello, Ha'ri… You actually want to talk to me today?... Hm… So you guys at the main house finally chose a new head?... 'Kaye, then we'll be at the main house this Friday… Bye, Ha'ri!"

Shigure returned to the others, "It appears that they have chosen a new head, finally. Sorry, Tohru and Kyo, Yuki and I have to go to the main house on Friday. They're having a celebration."

"Why can't Kyo go?" Tohru asked

"The had can't go unless the family head says it's okay," Shigure explained.

"Kyo can go."

"No, he can't."

"I'm… I'm going to be the head. I want him to come."

"What?" all three asked.

Tohru took a deep breath, "Yeah… that's why Hatori called for me and why I went over. I'm to be the head of your- our- family. It was Akito's wish."

"Wow…" someone said, but other than that, all four remained silent.

The rest of the week, the four of them carried on as usual, but a heavy silence seemed to hang over the household. On Thursday, after school, Momiji came over and lightened things up. He, being himself, didn't do much beside hug Tohru. Eventually, Hatsaharu came over, "Hello, is Momiji here?"

"Yes," Yuki replied, "He's busy hugging Tohru."

Momiji pranced in, "Hello, Haru! I came to visit Tohru!"

"I see that."

Tohru walked in, "Hello, Hatsaharu."

"Hey, Tohru."

"Momiji, we need to go home."

"Awww… Haru, you're no fun! I wanna play with Tohru."

Momiji once again had Tohru in the deathgrip hug, "I don't wanna leave!"

Haru stopped, confused, "… wasn't Tohru a girl?"

Tohru gasped, "Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you-"

Kyo injected, "More like you didn't want to tell."

"Yeah, Kyo's right. I don't actually want to tell anyone, but, um… I'm going to be the head of your family. Akito's my father."

"…" Haru replied, "… o…kay…"

"It's true!" Momiji said, still clinging to Tohru, "And we can hug her, too!"

Haru finally pulled Momiji off, "Well, regardless, we have to leave now. We don't want people sending out search parties for us."

Momiji pouted, but let Haru drag him away. Tohru said, "I don't think that Haru believes me…"

"They'll all have to tomorrow."

"Oh, yeah, tomorrow's Friday, isn't it. This week went by fast…" Tohru mumbled.
