Love Untainted

Chapter 4

Shigure stood silently in the doorway, watching the teenagers look at the falling cherry blossoms. His eyes scanned their eager faces as they watched the beautiful pink blossoms fall. Tohru and Momiji danced in the falling petals, their arms extended to the azure sky. Yuki just watched them, a small smile on his pale face. Kyo just smirked, nudging Uo gently in the ribs, whispering something in her ear. Haru and Hana just watched the two dance, silent and watchful. Shigure sighed, as they approached the house, his heart sinking."So, the gallant teens have returned from the evil school." said Shigure, dramaticly placing his hand on his chest.

Kyo rolled his eyes, slipping easily past his older cousin. "Shut up idiot." mumbled Kyo, slipping off his shoes, and walking into the house. The others followed, each greeting the adult in their respective ways. Shigure stopped Yuki at the door, taking hold of the teen's shoulder. Yuki looked up at his cousin, a questioningly look in his peircing grey eyes. Shigure looked at him seriously, his dark brown eyes hardening. The older man lead the teen into his office, silently shutting the door.

"Hatori called." said Shigure, seating himself at his desk.Yuki eyes narrowed, as he looked at Shigure, icy building up in his gaze.
"What does he want?"asked Yuki. Shigure sighed, running his hand through his dark hair.

"He just want you to be careful, with Akito and all, it can get pretty dangerous." said Shigure, shrugging his shoulders. Yuki nodded, looking over at the paper door.

"Is there anything else? Or is that is?" Yuki said questioningly, walking briskly over to the door. Shigure waved his cousin out of the room, a smirk wandering onto his lips. Yuki slipped wordlessly out of the door, down the hall and in to the kitchen to join the others.

Tohru looked at him, cocking her head to the side, a curious smile crossing her face. "What did Shigure-san want?"asked Tohru, watching Yuki's lack of emotion. Yuki looked at her, placing a fake smile on his face, running his fingers through his hair.

"Nothing, he's just being himself." said Yuki, his eyes void of his feelings. Hana sat straighter in her chair, looking at him with silent accusing eyes. Yuki met her cold gaze dead on, his own out matching her's, forcing her to look down.

"So what are you doing?"asked Yuki, placing his arms around Tohru's waist, resting his head on her's. Tohru snuggled close, resting her head in his chest.

"Uo and Hana want to spend the night, so I was going to ask Shigure-san if they could."said Tohru, lifting her chin to look up at him. Yuki looked slightly away, a small blush crossing his cheeks."What's wrong Yun-chan?" asked Tohru, her large eyes filling with worry. Yuki gently tightened his arms around her waist, his eyes gently telling her to ask later. Tohru just simply nodded her head, his silent message transporting itself to her.

Uo, Hana, Haru and Kyo silently watched them, taking note of the strain in Yuki's eyes. Kyo watched them, his crimson eyes scanning his cousin for any sign of distress.Ever since the accident, the entire family had been watching the rat recover, making sure he at least had time to mend of the trauma of his injuryies before Akito began his torture. Haru looked over at Kyo, nodding his head at the cat's watchful eyes."We need to ask Shigure-sensei what he told Yuki." Haru whispered to Kyo, his eyes narrowing. Kyo nodded, slowly walking toward the writer's office.

"Kyo, what have I done to deserve this great honor?" questioned Shigure, raising his eyebrow at the cat. Kyo remained silent, casting his eyes to the floor. Shigure sighed, waving his hand at the organe haired teen."You want to know what I told Yuki, hmm?"asked Shigure, placing his hands behind his head. Kyo silently nodded, seating himself comfortably on the floor."Akito's planning something, Hatori said it wasn't good, but when has Akito ever been good, right?"said Shigure, looking at the cat. Kyo just nodded, standing to his feet."Aww, leaving already?"asked Shigure, trying to sound pathetic. Kyo turned back to his cousin, his narrowed dangerously.

"Tohru want Uo and Hana to sleep over, and Haru and Momiji are already." said Kyo, walking from the room.
