This is my first story on Fanfic, please don't go too hard on me.
It was a casual morning at Shigure Sohma's house. Tohru Honda was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, which smelled like eggs and toast to Kyo. He had grudgingly accepted to sit next to Yuki at the table until breakfast was eaten. He mumbled and chewed softly at the nail on his index finger. Yuki had been reading a book titled "Growing Cucumbers" but held his place in the book and put it down long enough to give Kyo a look of distaste. Kyo sneered quietly in response, he didn't want Tohru to think they were fighting.
Just as they managed to calm down, Shigure waltzed into the kitchen humming a cheery tune.
"What the hell are you so happy about!" Kyo demanded of him.
"Oh nothing," Shigure grinned as he paused, "Except…"
"Spit it out already!" Kyo flared again, he had little patience for Shigure's nonsense.
"Well, I've started work on a new novel series! It's about a little girl who loses her father in a plane crash and her family has no money so the poor little girl must find her long lost mother!" He looked up intent on seeing their reactions. Kyo and Yuki both stared at him for about twenty seconds before responding.
"Sounds awful cheesy to me." This was the decided reaction of Kyo before he returned to his nails.
"Interesting Shigure…" Yuki too turned away, he neither wanted to put down or encourage Shigure. After he turned away how ever, Tohru walked into the kitchen with a tray of breakfast, which as Kyo had thought was eggs and toast.
"Oh, I don't know it sounds very creative Shigure!" Tohru mused in her affable manner. She made her way over to Shigure who was closest to her at the table. Tohru slid on a discarded paper and almost spilled all of her carefully made food over the carpet in the dining room. Kyo mad a mad dash in her direction to catch her before she fell.
"Kyo!" Tohru clung onto his shirt, wrinkling it as she half pulled herself up and was half pulled up by Kyo. "Kyo thank you so much!" He turned away for a second to hide the pink coloration forming on his face.
"Well, be more careful next time watch where you're going." He spoke firmly but not angrily as he usually did. He snatched his plate from the tray that has survived the fall, and returned to his spot. Yuki cautiously approached the tray to take his meal too.
"You're sure you're all right Miss Honda? He was rather rough in pulling you up." Yuki smiled sweetly and straightened the table a bit.
"Oh yes! I'm fine!" Tohru was quick to answer. "I'm alright, really." She smiled, and Yuki, reassured returned to his place. Breakfast finished shortly after and the residents of the house parted to go on their own daily tasks. Kyo didn't really care about where they went as long as Yuki didn't bother him. He decided taking a walk would help clear his head a bit it usually worked.
He was coming around the corner and just as he passed by the laundry room he heard Tohru mumbling about groceries. He tried to call out to her, but it was too late she tripped over him. The contact transformed him into his cat form. "
Aw what the hell do I have to do around here to be noticed! He thought still huffing. Tohru turned and went out the door heading towards the shopping plaza, leaving him alone as a cat.
