Chapter Four

Tohru took one glance at her sisters as they trudged off. They were leaving again...as always was the custom with them. They had promised to come back once in a while...too mooch off Tohru-no doubt.

"Tohru?" Today was Shigure's day. Tohru mentally cracked her knuckles. Time to screw with the one that wanted to screw her teacher. Oh yeah. This would be fun.

"Yes?" Tohru spun around in the little wheeled chair.

"Well, I have this deadline soon, and-"

"Since when do you actually listen to your deadlines?" Tohru smiled. She almost hurled herself.

"Ah, well-"

"Didn't you get the memo Shigure? Life is one big deadline. Now why don't you go along and flirt with the tree or something? Members of the zodiac do get so little time to practice flirting. Maybe that's why you don't have any girls following you like they do Yuki and Hatori...or maybe it's just your face..." Tohru was killing herself by laughing inside. She wished she had a camera to take a photo of the look on Shigure's face!

HA! Why doesn't he take a pen and write a story about that, and then maybe afterwards he could go and stick that pen right back where it came from.

Shigure walked away, confused. I think he was having a Kyo moment.

Tohru snickered to herself.

"Tohru?" Yuki popped in the doorway.

"Yeah?" Tohru raised her eyebrows, expectantly.

"Do you mind if we have a little talk?" Yuki motioned for her to come over to him.

Bastard.

She wasn't his slave. She'd go to him when she felt like it.

Tohru walked over to him anyway, but not because he told her too,"What do you want?"

"I just...well..." Yuki looked back at the curious stares he was getting from the others who sat around the kitchen table. Yuki liked privacy. It was something he hadn't had whne he was a kid.

"Let's go take a walk." Tohru was feeling generous today. Kind of...for a small price...

"Um, okay..." Yuki pulled on his coat, and gave Tohru hers.

"Thanks..." Tohru and Yuki walked out into the cold air. The wind whipped at Tohru. It didn't take a liking to her, and in her eyes, nothing did.

Yuki shifted from one foot to another,"Tohru...are you...okay...?" Yuki looked back at Tohru, waiting for an answer, hopefully a true one.

"Yes...maybe...I don't know..." Tohru kicked at a pile of snow, sending the white fluff sailing everywhere.

"Oh...because...you've been acting strange..." Yuki trailed off again.

Tohru was getting tired of these little kiddy games, she now knew what Hiro felt like.

"I'm fine, can you just drop it?" Tohru looked around herself,"It was a bad idea to go for a walk, it's cold(NO DUH!)let's go back inside." She started to walk back toward the house, but Yuki was getting sick of the kiddy games AND Tohru's bad attitude. He grabbed her wris, roughly.

Too roughly.

And that's what started the silent war.

All week, no way would Yuki get that large beaming smilefrom Tohru, even it was phony.

He wanted it back. He didn't like to see her talking to that stupid cat...but she did.

Even though Kyo wasn't a girl's best friend, or some type of secret diary, he was something Tohru could speak too and feel comfortable with.

Knock! Knock!

"The damn door's open!" Kyo's loud voice rang out from inside his room.

Tohru swung the door open, marched over, and flopped herself ontop of his bed. She was exhausted.

Hiro had decided to come over.

That should just about explain her bad mood.

"Hi, Kyo." Tohru simply stated.

"Eh? What's your problem now?" Kyo had adjusted himself to this new Tohru, unlike the others. Kyo was willing to accept Tohru, because she had accepted him. For that he owed her, and besides, he loved her. Even if he did have to listen to her stupid problems. He didn't criticize her, or try to 'save' her, he wanted to spend time with her. He just wanted to be near her.

Until one she told him she went to see a psychic.

"YOU DID WHAT!" Kyo couldn't help it anymore, he started to crack up! She was killing him! This was too much,"I can't believe you did that! What did she say?"

Tohru held out a jewel in the middle of her palm.

"She gave this too me." Tohru looked at it,"She said it would change colors, that's it's some sort of mood ring. She says it's not a fake."

The jewel was now a white color. It was encircled by two gold(?)dolphins. Their eyes were an eerie black in contrast to the rest of it.

"Heh, what does white stand for?" Kyo never liked those mood things, they were cheap, and stupid too.

"I'm not really sure, but I think it may stand for 'I just got ripped off.'"
