Chapter 4:
Tohru was up bright and early on Sunday morning to do the weekly chores. She gathered up all the dirty laundry and was about to put it in the washing machine when she heard what sounded like a stampede down the hall. Instead of it being buffalo, it was Kyo. "Tohru," he said out of breath, "can I help you (gasp) with the laundry?" Tohru looked puzzled at first, but then said, "Yes! I can always use a helping hand with the chores!"
The next task on her list was to wash the dishes. She started to place the dishes in the warm water and then grabbing them one by one to scrub off the remaining food. Tohru was on her second plate when she saw Yuki come through the doorway to the kitchen. "Good morning, Miss Honda!" he said with a kind smile on his face. "And good morning to you! Why are you up this early? Are you going to go tend the garden?" she responded. "No, I was wondering if I could help you with the dishes." Yuki said blushing. Tohru of course was still puzzled at the fact that both boys were helping her out, but of course she said yes.
Right before lunch, Tohru took a break. She sat on her bed and wondered why Yuki and Kyo kept helping her. Of course, being a little ditzy had prevented her from seeing this before, but now she realized that the boys had probably started to notice her in a different way. She giggled at the fact that the Prince of her school had a crush on her and even never-let-anyone-see-a-nice-side-to-you Kyo had a little soft spot for the onigiri. Then she remembered her feelings for Kyo and how she had expressed those feelings before.
Then she remembered Yuki and wondered if he knew she didn't love him. That would break his heart. And breaking his heart would break her heart. Tohru didn't like to hyrt anyone, especially people who were like family to her. She cried a silent tear before she heard Shigure's voice from downstairs.
"Oh, I'm so hungry! I think I could eat a cow! No offense to Haru of course. Where is our lunch?" he bellowed from downstairs. Tohru's head snapped up and she remembered her duty to the Sohmas. She ran downstairs and smelled something wonderful. She peeked into the kitchen and saw Kyo at the stove stirring something in a pot. "Oh, um…Kyo…I was going to make lunch…" Kyo turned around and immediately turned a bright red. "Oh, um I though…I thought…you should have a break from cooking once in a while. I can cook the basics….so, just…sit down and wait for it to be ready." Kyo said. Tohru blushed at smiled a sweet smile at him. "Ok, but next time I'll cook for you!" she said happily as she walked out towards the table Shigure poked his head in and said, "Now that's sweet isn't it?"
After watching a little TV with Yuki, lunch was ready. Kyo brought in a couple bowls and plates and set out the food. "Oh, yum! Onigiri! Tohru reached to take one off the plate when Kyo put his hand in front of the plate. "No. I'm serving the food as well." Kyo picked up the riceballs and set them in front of Shigure, Yuki, and Tohru. Tohru had one in front of her that had an oak leaf around it. But by looking around the table, she could see that that was the only one that did have a leaf. She carefully unwrapped it and saw a little white piece of paper taped to the leaf (A/N: I know, I know. You can't tape stuff to leaves…oh well. Just go with it.). She looked over at Kyo and he was already the reddest she had ever seen him. She unrolled the leaf a little further and saw that it had a message. "I love you."
