Chapter Two

the silent thanks

kyo groaned as he heard the racket downstairs.It was a saturday moring for God's sake! He grummbled and turned over on his stomach, pulling the pillow over his head. It didn't seem to be helping at all, so he got out of bed, pulled on a pair of jeans and stormed out of the room.

and much to his dismay...

"GOOD MORNING KYO! SLEEP WELL LAST NIGHT!" an anoyying voice shouted from right in front of him and can you guess who it was?

yep.

Ayame sohma, in all his loud and obnixious glory.

"I'm right in front of you!" kyo snarled.

"REALLY NOW? AND WHERE IS YUKI!"

Kyo clenched his fist. " how would i know where that damn rat is anyway!"

Ayame waved a finger in kyo's face." Ah.Ah. Bad kyo-kyo! don't spout such vulgar language!"

Kyo was losing his cool, one loud sylable at a time. where dankes this anoyying!

(AN: not really kyo...actually they arn't much entertainment...)

With a sigh, shigure walked up the stairs and waved. " Ah. yuki is making breakfast."

Both shigure and kyo watched as excitment played across ayames face ad he shot down the stairs like a bullet.

" this is not good..." kyo growled, glaring at the dog.

Shigure shrugged." yuki looked depressed.i bet his brother would do him some good."

------------------------------------------------------------

Yuki chopped up the onions that tohru had asked him to cook while she was gone with her freinds for the weekend. He sighed heavily and stared down at the revolting vegitable.

" you need to be tamed again!" more cracks and screams. " you will not disobey me further!" more and more.screams for help...but no one came.

He was jolted from the memory at the sound of arguing upstairs. Two very fimiliar voices argued and yelled.

kyo and Ayame.

Yuki sighed and continuted to chop up the onions, his eyes watering slightly. thats when he heard the thumping of running footsteps down the stairs.' oh for heavens sake!' he thought as Ayame came rushing into the kitchen a smile on his face.

" HELLO DEAR BABY BROTHER!"

yuki glared and returned to his work.

"OH THE TEARS YOU SHED FOR YOU BROTHER! COME AND I SHALL WIPE THEM AWAY!"

Shigure walked in but kyo remained hidden behind the door. oh was he gonna get yuki back. that smartass rat had told him he couldn't cook and here the rat was..chopping onions like wood. no percistion at all!

Yuki turned back and glanced around the kitchen." Where's kyo?"

" KYO! OH! HE'S SULKING UPSTAIRS! DO YOU THINK I WOKE HIM UP!"

" yes. I think you did." shigure sighed.

" He hates waking up early on saturdays. you should have left him alone." Yuki snapped angrily chopping at the onion. Both shigure and Ayame exchanged glances. " did you just defend kyo?" shigure asked in amazment.

Yuki lifted his head. " no. I stated the facts.no touching."

-----------------------------------------

Ayame then hugged his younger brother tight. " Oh yuki! your so kind...OW!" the snake hit the floor and an angery kyo stood between him and a flustered yuki.

" The damn rat said no touching!"

Ayame." i made him mad!"

shigure laughed." yes you did."

kyo grummbled and opened the fridge to get the milk. A hand brushed his own and he looked up at thankful violet eyes. he nodded and went about his business.

In a way.yuki was saying thank you...with out saying it at all...

yay!

yuki: yes..

kyo: i'm sleepy...
