Tohru, Midnight, Shigure, and Hatori had set up some rules for Yuki and Kyo that had to be followed, no ifs, ands, or buts. (1) No fighting, at least not phsyical fighting. (2) No school. (Come on, how do you think the teachers and students would react?) Midnight had taken care of the compilcations with this rule, how she did they had no idea, nor did they really want to know. (3) Try and eat at any and every meal. Since Midnight knew how to cook it wasn't a problem when Tohru went to school. (4) No going up on the roof or working on the secret base. Tohru volentered to take care of Yuki's garden while he watched and supervised.
On one such occasion; Tohru was happily picking strawberries while Yuki watched.
"Is it just me, or is it hot out here?" asked Yuki fanning himself with his hand.
"I think the baby is effecting your body heat, making you feel hotter," she answered, "How about we go back inside before you overheat. I've picked enough strawberries."
Midnight slept in Tohru's room, but she had nothing with her but the her clothes that changed magicily every day. So, Shigure, being the dear that he is, bought her copies of Magic Kinghts Rayearth 1-6, Wish 1-4, and Chobits 1-8.
"How can you read that stuff?" Kyo asked her as she read Chobits volume 5.
"I think it's funny. Besides, I have nothing better to do, " she replied.
He rolled his eyes and returned to reading his Dragonball Z manga.
"We're back!" called Tohru.
"Hey," said Kyo as he streached to releibe a kink in his back, but no dice.
Midnight and Tohru left at this time to make dinner.
"You ok?" asked Yuki.
"Yeah...it's just there's this kink in my back that I just can't get," said the Cat.
"Here, let me help," offered Yuki, before slowly masaging the knik out.
"Ah...Thanks I guess," said Kyo, his face bright red.
"Are you getting a fever?" asked the Rat feeling the Cat's forehead.
"Kyo and Yuki sitting in a tree...K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" sang Shigure.
This time both boys blushed as they yelled at the Dog to shut up. But the eldest of the three could tell that the two of them were falling in love, with each other.
At dinner that night Midnight said, "My mistress, Lady Fuuhime, thanks Shigure-san for his kind actions. And I thank him for the amusing mangas."
"You're both welcome," said Shigure.
