A/n: Okay, Cheesey, cliched crap title… but that's the point! Taken from "Caesar's Place - Over 'fore it started" ANYWAY! Enough distraction…
Chapter 1: The Nameless Chapter!
"You damn rat! Stop hogging up the bathroom!" Kyo hollered, fist raised at the closed door, "You've been in there for hours!" As if on cue, the door opened, Yuki smirking at him,
"Unlike you, you stupid cat, I care about my personal hygiene…" Yuki relished in the annoyed growl he received from Kyo as he stormed into the bathroom, slamming the door.
A few weeks had passed since the… incident… Tension between Yuki and Kyo had lessened a little. Now they only fought about stupid things, such as the bathroom incident… give or take the few times they fought like the good 'ole days.
"Oh! Yuki! Is everything okay? I heard yelling…" Tohru smiled her goofy, sheepish smile from the stove, "No one's hurt, are they?"
Yuki smiled, "No… no one's hurt… yet…"
There was a faint, "AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" from the bathroom, followed by a ton of swearing and, "THAT DAMN RAT USED UP ALL THE HOT WATER!"
Yuki stifled a chuckle, raising a delicate hand to his mouth, "I-I'm sorry, Ms. Honda… I couldn't resist… he's so easy to wind up."
Tohru, who had grown pale, eyes wide at the yell, turned to Yuki, "He'll be okay, won't he? I'd hate him to catch a cold or something! I'd better go check up on him…"
She didn't have to… a dripping wet Kyo with a towel around his waist stormed into the room, "You did that on purpose!" He growled at Yuki.
"Why, whatever do you mean?"
"You know what I mean!"
And so the morning ritual continues.
"Eat up, everyone!" A cheery Tohru spoke, placing breakfast on the table. Shigure yawned, having been woken up by the yelling, screaming and slamming of doors before. He liked to think of it as his alarm clock,
"My, my… what a wonderful spread our dear Tohru has laid out for us… today!" He paused after 'us', yawning. He scratched his head, still half asleep. Though things between Yuki and Kyo had changed, Shigure's attitude towards his work had not, "Kyo, Yuki! Show some respect for out little starlet!"
Kyo and Yuki both shot a glare at him, minds mimicking each other with, He never knows when to keep his damn mouth shut…
"Oh! No! It's okay, Shigure! They don't have to thank me, I mean… it's how I earn my living here…" Tohru blushed, watching her hands in her lap.
"And modest, too!" Shigure cooed.
"Alright! That's it! If you don't keep your damn mouth shut, I'll personally keep it shut for you!" Kyo jumped up, knocking his chair over.
"My, my… we've gotten awfully protective of Tohru recently, haven't we?" Shigure smirked, enjoying taking the piss out of everyone.
Kyo blushed, Tohru's reddening.
Kyo growled, "You dumb dog! You don't even know what you're talking about!"
"Aww! Kyo's blushing! Isn't that sweet!"
Kyo, with a final growl, overturned the table in his anger. Shigure took his cue to leave. Kyo paused, taking a breath, glancing down at the table, and then over at Tohru who had instantly jumped up, looking quite traumatized.
Kyo blushed again, hunching his shoulders.
"Stupid cat…" Yuki muttered, helping Tohru to pick up the debris. Kyo gritted his teeth, "It was all that dumb Shigure's fault…" He muttered, though, to his surprise, didn't receive a comeback from Yuki about his own anger. Kyo closed his eyes for a moment before dashing outside, making his way up to the roof, where he always hid.
Tohru paused to watch him leave, frowning, before continuing to clean up.
"…Kyo?" Tohru called cautiously, peeking her head over the tip of the roof, "Are you ok?"
Kyo lowered his head, muttering in dark tones, "Yeah… I'm fine… it's just that dumb dog and that damn rat…"
Tohru sat beside him, watching the sun, now a warm yellow in the golden morning hours. Kyo knew what was annoying him… it was how close to home Shigure's words were… even though he was a dumb dog. But, it wasn't as though he could ever go out with Tohru… she didn't seem interested in anyone, let alone himself… that and Kagura would probably kick is ass from here to the moon if something happened between him an another girl. Kagura had been so hostile towards Tohru when she had first met her…
He shook his head, "So… what do you want anyway?" His words had come out a little more annoyed than he would have liked.
"Nothing's troubling you… is it Kyo?" She asked, watching him earnestly. Kyo felt something inside him jolt… her innocent face… her caring eyes… he shook his head again,
"Everything's fine… like I said, it's that dumb dog and damn rat."
Tohru continued, "'Cause, you know… if you have any problems… you can just come to me!" She spoke in her pep talk-y voice, grinning at him.
She could always take the beast out of him… he felt… normal with her around… she always knew what to say…
Kyo managed a small smile, light blush on his cheeks, "Heh… you're weird…" He spoke in kindly tones. And I like that…
