"Knock knock, Mr. High and Mighty." Shigure bounded to the door to see that Uo and Hana already inside. "We let ourselves in. You're kinda slow." "Where is Tohru…?" Hana looked around, sensing Tohru's waves. Shigure smiled. "She's probably upstairs, taking good care of our dear Prince Charming!" "Oh really? Nice call Hana." She gave a thumbs up to Hana, who nodded in thanks. "Yes…I felt something…Tohru's waves…I sensed panic…yes, that's what it was…" Hana zoned out, her mind completely absolved as she was using her sixth sense to see if Yuki's waves were weak. "Yo, can we go and say hey to the Prince?" Hana and Uo headed to the stairs, never giving Shigure a chance to speak. He just threw up his hands and giggle. 'Now Tohru will cook dinner early! Yay!' Shigure stepped into the living and turned on the T.V to wait until dinner was ready.
Uo and Hana walked through the hallway, and as Up reached to the doorknob of Yuki's room, Hana stopped her. "I don't feel Tohru's presence in this room…she is in another room…" Uo nodded and put a hand on her hip and tapping her chin with the other while she was thinking. "You think she's in Orangey's room? "Let's find out…" As they drew near Kyo's room, Hana nodded and paused. "Yes, she is in his room…but there are so many emotions reverberating throughout the room…I'm curious…" Uo's eyes slanted with concern. "Well, let's find out what's goin' on…Tohru better not be hurt." She opened the door and swung the door open, and walked into the room.
Tohru and Kyo's crying settled, and they both started to sniff. Kyo got up and went over to his bedside table and took a box of tissues from the shelf underneath. He walked over back to Tohru and kneeled down in front of her. He handed her tissues and started to try and wipe the tears away from his eyes, and the blowing his nose. As soon as he started, he sounded like a foghorn, causing Tohru to giggle. He finished using his tissue and smiled at Tohru, slightly embarrassed. She started to try and wipe her eyes, but Kyo stopped her, gently taking hold of her arms. He took another tissue, when he released her arms, and tenderly wiping her tears off her cheeks, her chin, and near her eyes. She reached up and delicately started comb his hair with her fingers, as she did the same. "Kyo, you really are wonderful …I'm so thankful you told me…I'm so happy you got to meet my mom…and I bet she's twice as happy, because you kept your promise…and…I bet…that she loves you…and Kyo, I love you…too."
Kyo blushed and cocked his head, gazing at her soft, loving eyes, and her beautiful smile, causing his own to grow. "Thank you, Tohru…for being, well, Tohru. I'm happy too…happy that you, Tohru, were born…" He kissed her forehead, her eyes closing, soaking up his words and her body tingling with warmth at his lips, and the pure affection they held for her. As both of their cheeks flushed, Kyo got up and helped Tohru up, and threw out the tissues. He ruffled her hair and put his arm around her neck. "Your mom was right, Tohru. You are amazing, in every way. Your mom was too awesome." Tohru laughed, and nodded in agreement about her mom. Kyo started to tickle her, causing her to go into a fit of giggles, but her giggling was cut short, and both froze at the sound of two voices heading down the hallway, and pausing right in front of Kyo's room. Kyo ran to grab his desk chair, positioning it towards the window that he opened, and sat down looking out the window, trying to swallow the panic that made his heart beat at an impossible rate. Tohru was just as panicky as she scurried to the table and starting to clean their lunch and started talking cheerily about what she was going to make for dinner.
Hana and Uo stepped into the room, Uo's face practically radiating with suspicion, and Hana's face expressionless, giving off an eerie aura. "Hana! Uo! Shigure didn't tell me you were coming! Can you stay for dinner! I'm so happy you guys came over!" Tohru jumped up and the three best friends hugged. "Oi, what are you guys here for?" Kyo's arms were crossed, his face clearly showing his annoyance. "What's it to you, Orangey? Tohru's our best friend; we can come over whenever the hell we want. Deal with it." "Whatever. I don't give a damn." "Kyo…why is Tohru in your room…?" Hana looked Kyo straight in the eye, making Kyo uneasy as he backed up a little more from his chair. "Hana, I brought Kyo lunch because Shigure made him angry again. He really is sometimes unfair…but that's Shigure!" Tohru smiled cheerfully, making her friends turn and smile at her once more. "Yes, that is true. Shigure acts very much like a child…it's quite annoying." Kyo scoffed. "Yeah, tell me about it. Stupid ass pervert…" Uo raised an eyebrow at Kyo and looked over at Tohru, still smiling. "So how's Prince doin'? Hana could tell something was wrong." "Oh yes! He had a horrible attack, and I've been taking care of him, and Hatori-san comes everyday to check on him. Haru and Momiji came earlier this morning with Hatori to visit! I'm sure he'd be happy to see you guys!" "Yeah right," Kyo muttered under his breath. Hana looked at Tohru and gave a small smile. "Ok Tohru, let's go see him." Kyo rolled his eyes and sighed. Damn rat.
Tohru led them to his room and slightly opened the door, just in case he was asleep. He was sitting up against his pillows, reading a book on strawberry desserts. He looked up and gave a little smile. "Hello Miss Hinda, what's wrong?" "Nothing at all Yuki-kun! Hana and Up came to see how you're doing!" She opened the door fully, and the three of them walked into the room. "Yo Prince, you look like you just nearly died." "Yes…you do look rather pale, but you seem to be getting better." " Thanks for coming, Uo-chan and Hana-chan." Tohru grinned and clapped her hands in excitement. "They're staying for dinner! I wish you could eat with us, but don't worry, I'll bring you a plate! I'm really sorry you can't come down, I wish I could do something—" Uo put a hand oh her shoulder and grinned while Yuki shook his head. "He loves your cookin' whether in bed or at the table." Yuki smiled reassuringly at Tohru. "Yes, Miss Honda, I will always enjoy your cooking no matter where I am. Besides, if you wait any longer Shigure might start to cry." Uo smirked at this and turned towards Hana and Tohru. "Let's go cook some dinner ladies!" They strode out the door and bounded down the steps.
Yuki was about to pick his book up when he heard a sharp knock at his door, though it was open. "Hey rat boy. Hatori told me to change the humidifier water. So don't think I'm doin' you any favors." Yuki just blinked looking at Kyo leaning against the door. "Stop starin' at me dammit!" Kyo gave a little growl as he walked over the humidifier and took out the container of water, and walked out to the bathroom. Yuki could hear the water running as he sat in his bed, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. Kyo walked back in with container filled with fresh water, put it back in the machine, and walked out the door after turning it back on. He rolled his eyes as he walked down the hallway, trying to figure out why the hell he did that for that damn rat, the damn rat that made his life a living hell.
"Tooohruuu is dinner ready yet? You know I can't write on an empty stomach, my beautiful flower!" Shigure yelped as Kyo backhanded Shigure in the face. "Stop callin' her a friggin' flower, perv AND STOP RUSHIN' HER, DUMBASS!" Shigure rubbed his head and smiled, though he could practically see the steam coming out of his ears. "TOHRUUU KYO HITT MEEE!" Kyo pushed Shigure down onto the ground and walked into the kitchen. "I'm really sick of him callin' you a friggin' flower." He raised an eyebrow at Uo and Hana turning around, donning aprons along with Tohru. "Shut up, Orangey, Tohru didn't want us to get food on our clothes." Tohru smiled and turned around. "Hi Kyo-kun! We're almost done, don't worry. What was Shigure yelling about?" "Oh, the usual. Being an idiot and whining when I shut him up. And I'm not worried about dinner, I don't care how long you guys take, I'm not like that antsy pervert." Tohru smiled. "Ok Kyo, we're done anyway! You can go sit down now if you want, we'll be out in a second." Tohru tried to balance three trays at once, Hana and Uo still caught up in cleaning the mess they made while cooking dinner. Tohru lost her balance and was about to drop her trays, but Kyo ran over and caught them just in time. "Thank you so much Kyo! I almost destroyed everyone's dinner if I did everyone would starve and it'd be all my fault and--" She stopped when Kyo started to laugh. "Tohru, it's alright, sheesh. I just caught the trays, it's no big deal. You shouldn't be carrying everything at once, especially when they're this heavy." Tohru smiled in gratitude, and her smile grew wider when Kyo smiled back. "Thank you, Kyo...we should go put these on the table, don't you think?" Kyo nodded, still smiling. "That would make sense, it being dinner and all. Goofball." Tohru took one tray, and Kyo held two as they walked into the dining room and laid the food onto the kotatsu.
Uo and Hana came out and sat down, Hana in between Uo and Tohru, Kyo on the right end near Tohru, and Shigure on the left end near Uo. "YAY! FOOD!" And with that, Shigure started shoveling the food in his mouth, so fast that noone could see the chopsticks going from the bowl to his mouth. Kyo, Uo and Hana tossed a weird glare at Shigure, and shrugged as they started to eat. Tohru waited until everyone started to eat, and then picked up her chopsticks and joined everyone in enjoying the delicious dinner.
A half hour later, Tohru fixed a plate for Yuki and took it up to him, leaving the dog, the cat, the yankee and the goth downstairs. "Well ladies, any new girls at your highschool? If you made friends with them, they could join beautiful Tohru and be a complete set of-" Shigure didn't get to finish his perverted sentence because of Kyo's leathal chopsticks attack. Uo and Hana just watched in amusement as Kyo and Shigure argued. Suddenly Hana looked at Shigure.
"Hanajima-chan? What do you want? Anything I can do..." He once more was interrupted as Hana sat transfixed for moment, and then opened her mouth. "Zodiac..." Kyo and Shigure jumped and panicked at her statement. "What about Zodiac? What the hell are you talking about?" Kyo asked, swallowing his fear. "Your calendar...it has the Zodiac animals...may I borrow it?" She turned and stared once more at Shigure, her gaze completely unnerving, scaring the shit out of Shigure. "Uh...sure Hanajima-chan...whatever you want...you can have it, if you want..." Hana gave a small smile. "Excellent. Thank you very much." Uo didn't really care what was going on, she was used to Hana's odd ways. Hana stood up and grabbed the calendar from the wall just as Tohru came down the steps.
She looked at Shigure, his face giving away his fear. She turned her glance towards Kyo, who looked seriously perturbed and disturbed. Then she turned towards Hana and Uo with a questioning look. "We'll explain later, Hana just had one of her weird moments. Kinda creeped Oranger and Novelist out, but don't worry, they'll recover since you're back down. We're sorry to eat and run, but Hana had something to do, so we're gonna head out. See you tomorrow Tohru!" Hana and Uo went over to Tohru, hugging her tightly, and then leaving the house without another word. "Well...that was...weird." Shigure relaxed a little bit, but the panic that made his body rigid would take while to wear off.
"Hey Tohru, how's that damn girly man? Dead yet?" Tohru rolled her eyes and giggled at Kyo. "No, unfortunately for you Kyo-kun, heehee. He's doing a lot better. Thank you for changing his humidifier!" Kyo did a double take. "How'd you know?" Tohru giggled once more. "He told me, of course! You're so silly Kyo!" Shigure raised an eyebrow at Kyo, who leapt up from the table and growled as he head out the door. "Kyo-kun? Kyo-kun!" Tohru's face shadowed with concern. "My little flower, he probably went where he always goes. Go on now, do you what have to." Shigure smiled, and Tohru returned the gesture and ran out the door. "What a day!" With that, Shigure left and stepped into his room.
