Chapter 6A Little Out of It

There was no buzzing alarm clock to awake three of the teen occupants in Shigure's house. Only the birds served to be any sound disrupting the peace; but then again, were they disrupting it or making the atmosphere seem more peaceful and carefree? One brunette made her way through the house, careful to stay quiet. Her hair was tied into two pigtails; she wore a pastel pink blouse with jean shorts and sandals. She began to browse the things in the fridge that she could make for breakfast. When she found all the ingredients, she began to work her cooking magic.

Like every morning, the air around the house began to smell heavenly. "Oi, Tohru!" Tohru turned around from breakfast. "Kyo! Good Morning!" "I'm guessing that the kuso nezumi isn't up!" Tohru smiled slightly. "Well, Kyo, he's never been a morning person…" At that moment Yuki made his grand entrance. He looked a mess. His hair was ruffled, and it looked like he just threw his clothes on. The two top rows of buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned, due to the fact that he buttoned some of them in the wrong holes. Anyone could tell that he was completely out of it and still half-asleep. Kyo gawked at him like he was insane. He noticed movement beside him and turned to Tohru. Her head was down and her arms were around her shaking body. Kyo's first instinct was that something was wrong. His heart seemed to stop, and even Yuki, who was still half-asleep, went to stand by Kyo. "Tohru!" Kyo asked, putting a hand on her shoulder. She continued to shake, but looked up at Kyo.

He was relieved. A huge grin was plastered on her face, and her eyes were watering from containing her laughter. Yuki, noting that all tension was released in the air, let his head slump on Kyo's shoulder in exhaustion. Kyo immediately stiffened. "Hahahahahah!" Tohru exclaimed, finally releasing the laughter that had bubbled up inside her. "DAMMIT, WAKE UP!" he yelled, pushing the nezumi forcefully off his shoulder. Yuki hit him back, then stumbled out of the kitchen. The onigiri giggled again. Kyo shook his head fondly at her as she approached Yuki. When she was completely out of the kitchen, he finished up breakfast by putting the food on the plates and setting them on the table. Kyo then began to eat, Shigure joining him seconds after. "Tohru…?" "With Yuki," the neko answered. Silence. "And you're--" "Yes…I'm ok, I think. It had hurt at first…but…" Kyo didn't continue. Shigure's nature normally would have taken this moment for humor, but one look at Kyo's amber eyes would have warned you to stay in silence. "So…she's picked Yuki…things should get very interesting, especially when Akito gets involved," Shigure thought as he ate.

Tohru smiled as she gazed up into Yuki's amethyst eyes. His eye's were half-closed. "How can he stay half-asleep?" she asked herself. She brushed a hand through his silver hair, then balanced up on her tip-toes and gave him a kiss on the lips. His eyes immediately focused as he closed them and enjoyed her kiss. She pulled away and looked up at him. He was grinning back at her. "Good morning sleepy head," she whispered, quickly kissing him again. "Good morning Princess Tohru." She flushed lightly at the thought of being Yuki's princess and that their conversation yesterday truly got to him. He now will call her Tohru. She smiled brightly at that thought. "Yuki…" she started, "Haha, you look a mess." He looked behind him into the mirror. An amused grin spread across his features. "I do look horrible," he announced. "Anyone could have told you that, my Prince," she smiled. He flushed a bit, but began unbuttoning his shirt to put the buttons in the correct places. "Let me help you," Tohru laughed. As she buttoned the last button she looked up at his face. O, how she felt so drawn to his gorgeous amethyst eyes and his warm luscious lips…

They gasped for air as they broke their long kiss. They exchanged smiles, then Yuki asked, "Well, shall I now have the honor of escorting you to the kitchen, Princess?" He held out his arm to her. Her eyes danced happily as she took his arm. "I would be delighted if you would." They entered the kitchen, arm in arm. Shigure was drawn out of his thoughts of Akito, to see the couple walking towards them. "Ah, you're both here! Tohru, like always, your cooking is delicious. Hurry and sit down before it gets cold," Shigure said playfully. Tohru took a seat by Kyo and Yuki sat next to her.

When they had finished their meal, Kyo announced, "I'm going to Shishou's today. I'm planning on training a bit more this week. I'll see you all later." He grabbed his bag and was about to head out the door when a hand stopped him. He turned around to see Tohru's face intently watching him. "You'll come back?" she asked. His features were carved in utter surprise. "Tohru…I…" He tapped her lightly on the head. "Of course, little sister," he whispered lovingly in her ear, so that the two at the table had to really try to hear them. Tohru smiled. "I'm off now!" he said as he walked out the door. Tohru then took her place back at the table.

They ate in peace. Well, except for a little chit chat and Mit-chan stopping by to yell at Shigure. "Excuse me," Shigure sighed as he left the table to go to his study. The two left at the table sighed, it would be another day of Mit-chan's blood curling screaming. Yuki scooted next to Tohru. "Hey, Yuki," she smiled after he kissed her. "Tohru, today…ano, will you go on a date with me? Like, a real one, since, you know, we've announced how we feel about each other…Besides, we won't have to endure Mit-chan's screa--" Tohru gave Yuki a sweet little kiss on his cheek. "I'd love to! Where?" she exclaimed happily. He smiled at her. "How about that new café? The one near the lake?" Tohru nodded in agreement. "Ok, we should leave the house around 11:30. It's 9:00 right now…" "I'll meet you down here at 11:30," she grinned. "Yea," Yuki whispered to himself as Tohru ran upstairs, "Our date…"

Hope you liked! I think the next chapter will be posted no later than the 8th! It will have lots of Yukiru fluff! LOL, YAY!
