Silver Tears Ch.2
As Tohru and the others finished cleaning up the dishes Asuka and Shigure were talking in his work room.
"Tell me Asuka… You come to my home in the middle of a frozen winter wearing nothing but summer clothes and no shoes asking for me after you've told the family you had been doing good in America? What happened?" Shigure questioned
"To tell you the truth I haven't quite been myself and the clothes thing well I didn't know what I was thinking. All I knew was I was upset the mark that appeared made it worse. It's been so long Shigure and I must say it's nice to see my family again but I must inquire who this Miss Tohru is…"
"OH Tohru! Lovely Girl! We've all practically adopted her into the family! Although I don't mean to be rude about it but she's an orphan… She lost her mother a few years ago and we let her stay here." Shigure said thinking of the past.
"But that still doesn't explain how she came to stay Shigure tell me what you know." Asuka said and Shigure told him how little Tohru was staying in a tent for awhile and about her family and then how she was invited to stay at Shigure's house.
"Ah that explains a lot!" Asuka said smiling warmly at Shigure
"Since all of you have welcomed Tohru I would be honored to do the same also I would like to ask you about another strange thing that's been bugging me…" Asuka said with a grin
"Really what sort of strange thing would that be?" Shigure grinned back
"Well Yuki and Kyo…" Asuka started
"Used to fight whenever they were around but strangely they are no longer fighting constantly even though they are under the same roof? Was that it?" Shigure grinned even more
"Exactly and why is that? Could it be our newest family member Miss Tohru that has stifled their constant quarrelling?" Asuka asked Shigure
"Well if your meaning that they each have a school boy crush and want to make her happy by not fighting then you've hit the nail on the head." Shigure smiled warmly
"Well isn't that something" Asuka smiled and laughed a little only to have a crash in the kitchen catch both mens attention
"You stupid cat look at this mess!" A stern Yuki said from the kitchen
"You need to pay more attention to what you're doing! Miss Honda left this task to us while she went to go and find some clothes for Asuka and you can't even do that right!" Yuki yelled as the two men approached followed by a curious Hatori who was on Shigure's computer looking up something
"SHUT-UP YOU STUPID RAT! I WAS DOING JUST FINE UNTIL YOU BUMPED INTO ME!" Kyo retaliated getting in a fighting stance
As the adults gathered into the kitchen they saw that a stack of plates had fallen into the floor around the two squabbling teens.
Asuka stepped into the room to where the two boys who were about to fight came to a halt. Asuka came in and started to pick up the broken pieces of glass which stunned the two teens.
"Asuka? We can get that you don't have to…" Yuki said suddenly
"Yeah it was my fault I dropped them…" Kyo started
"By the looks of it you two were going to fight rather than pick up this mess and I decided to get it up before someone seriously got hurt. Instead of fighting and blaming someone because of one little mistake you should help each other and that way the mess will be taken care of and it would be as if it never happened." Asuka said softly and continued to pick up the glass
The two boys looked shamefully at each other and began to help Asuka clean up the mess
"I'm back and I got you some new clothes Asuka I hope they fit seeing as I was kind of guessing." Tohru said coming through the front door and turned to see everyone sitting at the table chatting pleasantly with one another. Mostly questions as Asuka told them all he did in America.
"It's really weird driving there I kinda have gotten confused a little and found myself on the "wrong side" of the road as they put it so yeah there's no telling how many tickets I've gotten because of that." He grinned sheepishly at that while the others laughed
"So find any romance in the land of America? Huh?" Shigure grinned at Asuka and patted his back as a joking gesture.
Asuka in turn looked mortified then furiously shook his head no and put on a grin before the others could question but Tohru saw that it was fake and so did Hatori. They could both see the insecurity and fear that flickered in his eyes and how they dimmed into lifeless dull emeralds.
Something wasn't right with Asuka and Hatori and Tohru both knew it.

Sorry so short! I'll try to make it longer next time
