Tohru's POV
I have been up for a while now just laying in my bed, watching the wind blow through the branches of the trees outside my window. I had been thinking about Kyou's curse. We had thought it was gone, but it came back. Then when we thought he wouldn't change back, he did! It was all so confusing! After about thirty minutes of racking my brain, I decided to get up and make breakfast. I also had to make sure the house was clean for when Uo-chan and Hana-chan came over! I jumped out of bed and got dressed. I headed downstairs to prepare breakfast.
I was almost done fixing breakfast when Kyou-chan walked into the kitchen. He walked over and fixed a stray hair on my forehead. I giggled. He smiled a little.
"When are you going to be done?" he asked me. He didn't sound impatient this time.
"I'll be done in a couple of minutes." I said. He went into the living room to wait for breakfast.
I silently finished breakfast. When I was finished, I called Yuki-kun and Shigure-san downstairs to eat. When I went back into the kitchen to get the dishes, Kyou-chan followed me in there. After a while, I heard Yuki-kun and Shigure-san's voices in the living room. Yuki-kun sounded annoyed. I wonder why. Oh no! Maybe it was because I woke him up? Stupid me! Why did I do that? I am such an idiot!
"Breakfast is ready!" I exclaimed. Kyou-chan helped me carry stuff out of the kitchen and put it on the table.
After we were done with breakfast, everybody went off to do their seperate things; Shigure sat downatthe kotatsu(sp?)and started reading the newspaper; Kyou went up to the roof; and Yuki went outside. Probably to his garden. I went around the house looking for things to pick up.
After a few minutes, the phone rang.
"I'll get it!" I said. I ran and answered the phone. "Oh, Hi Uo-chan! (pause) Oh, ok. No! It's ok Uo-chan! You do need to make money! I understand perfectly!" I said.
Uo-chan had to work so she couldn't come over. It was okay though! Me and Hana would be fine! We could handle anything that came our way!
"Shigure! Uo-chan can't come over! She has work!" I said to let him know. As he was the only one in the house.
"Is the other one still coming?" he asked. He was still caught up in the newspaper. I decided to answer his question and leave him alone, but before I got a chance to answer, doorbell rang. I went to anwer it and found Hana standing there.
"Hi Hana! Come on in!" I said waving at her. Yuki was right behind her. His hands were a little dirty so he went to the kitchen to wash them. When he passed me, I thought I saw his cheeks a little pink. Maybe it's just hot outside. It didn't seem very hot to me, but it may have been hotter a while ago.
Hana went into the livingroom to sit down. Shigure looked up from the newspaper. "Hello Hana! Nice to see you again." he said. He smiled at her. She just looked at him. Kyou came downstairs, he immediately noticed that Uo wasn't there.
"Where is the yankee?" he asked. He was walking into the living room when the said this.
"She had work today Kyou-chan!" I said. I had forgotten that I didn't tell him.
Nobody's POV (Yuki is a little POV)
'I am glad that she isn't coming' thought Kyou. He didn't want her to start beating him up. He got enough of that with Kagura!
At the same time Yuki thought, 'I am kind of... well.. glad.. that she isn't coming today... I don't know why though. Could it be that I like Hana-san? No, I couldn't! And if I did, would she like me back?' he could feel his cheeks heat up. He was blushing.
"Sohma-kun?" asked Tohru. He looked over at her and tried not to let her see him blush. It wasn't working too well. "Sohma-kun, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" she asked.
"You're worried over nothing again!" said Shigure, waving his hand through the air. He was right of course, but she didn't think that.
"If your not feeling well you should lie down! I'll go make you some tea. I should go get a bla-" she was cut off by a hand over her mouth. She looked at the owner of the hand and blushed.
"You're getting worked up over nothing Tohru-chan."
"You're right Kyou-chan! I'm sorry." she said looking down. He put his hand under her chin and lifted her head so her eyes were level with his.
"Don't be sorry." he said softly.
"Awww! Isn't this just adorable?" asked Shigure rather loudly. Tohru instantly blushed deep red.
"Kuso inu!" (you should know what that means by now!)
Kyou blushed too and put his hand down at his side.
"I should go make lunch!" said Tohru to try to lighten the mood a bit.
"Good idea Tohru-kun! Oh, that reminds me!Ha'ri,Aayaand Iare going out for lunch today! I am sorry I am going to miss your delicious meal, (at which Tohru blushed) but alas, I must go discuss some, er, things with them!" he said as a sweatdrop fell from his head.
"Ok,Shigure!" said Tohru with a smile on her face.
"I'm sure I can trust you to not let them tear up my house Tohru-kun!" he said, smiling back.
"Just shut up and go you kuso inu!" said Kyou. He was getting annoyed with Shigure always being worried about his house being destroyed.
"Oh, you must really want me out of the house? Why isthat Kyou? Do you want the house all to yourself with Tohru-kun? Although, Hana and Yuki-kun are still here! You kids behave yourselves while I'm gone!" he said. He was making Kyou really angry. Luckily for him though, the car horn sounded outside. "Oh, good that's Ha'ri! I have to go now!" he said, walking slowly over to the door so as not to be attacked by the glaring Kyou. They heardHa'ri impatiently honk thehorn again. Shigure exited the front door backwards while waving. He closed it quickly and ran to the car. After a moment, they heard the car pull out of the drive way.
"What does everybody want for lunch?" asked Tohru. She already had her apron on and was thinking about what she wanted to cook.
"It doesn't matter. All your cooking is delicious." said Hana smiling at her friend.
Tohru thanked her and went into the kitchen. She decided she was going to make beef stew. While she was cooking, she felt two arms feel there way around her waist. She stopped stirring the contents of the pot in front of her for a moment. Then she relaxed as she realized who it was. She turned around and smiled up at him. "Kyou." she whispered. If it weren't for the fact that he could hear quite well still, he wouldn't have heard it.
He put on a small grin, a grin that was just for Tohru. She could feel her cheeks heat up. Then she remembered the stew. She abruptly turmed around. Kyou almost fell backward with surprise. There was also the fact that the force of her turn had sent her hair flying and it hit him in the face despite their height difference. She started stirring the stew. He went up beside her, and put his hand around her waist...
