Now without further ado, let's continueCareer Options!

Tohru woke up unusually early. Wondering why, she remembered yesterday in homeroom her class had took a career survey. Knowing that was why she was up early she decided to make a humongous breakfast for the Sohmas.

As she started to boil the water, Shigure sauntered into the kitchen and poured himself a cup of milk, and asked, "Why is my flower up so early on this lovely Thursday morning? By the way, I feel like an omelet."

"Okay, Shigure-san," said Tohru brightly finding the eggs in the refrigerator. "I am up early because today I will receive the results from the survey I took yesterday in homeroom."

"What survey?" asked Shigure.

"A survey that will give me new options for different careers once I graduate high school," replied Tohru while she added cheese to Shigure's omelet.

"Do you have any idea what your future career might be, flower?" asked Shigure.

Tohru shook her head, and said,"I do not have an idea what my future career might be."

"You would make a good housewife. Why not marry me in the near or distant future," said Shigure as Kyou and Yuki walked into the kitchen.

Hearing Shigure, Kyou hit him on the head and said, "Better make that very distant future, dumb dog. So distant you would of been dead for a thousand years!"

Shigure cowered, and complained to Tohru, "Kyou is being mean again."

Tohru made a sympathetic noise and placed his omelet in front of him. Seeing the food Shigure grabbed the nearest pair of chopsticks and started munching happilly.

As Shigure ate the omelet Yuki told Tohru, "I am going to school early today because of class officer duties."

Tohru nodded her head, and said, "Okay. See you at school."

As Yuki left the kitchen, Kyou walked over to refrigerator and grabbed the milk carton, after drinking straight of the carton he asked Tohru, "Why do you let Shigure talk like that?"

"What do you mean?" asked Tohru.

"Ugh. Never mind. I am going to school now," said Kyou grabbing his bag.

Watching Kyou leave the kitchen, Tohru called out, "Kyou can you wait for a minute. I am going to walk to school with you. Okay?"

"Hurry up, then," he replied waiting at the door.

"Okay," she said grabbing her own bag and heading out the door with Kyou.

Tohru and Kyou walked down the street in silence. Every so often, Tohru would glance up at Kyou. She wondered what he was thinking; she knew that talking about the future was difficult for him because once he graduated he would be confined. He would have no need to have a career or job.

They walked in silence for another block, and eventually Tohru said, "Are you worried about the future, Kyou-kun?"

Kyou glanced at Tohru, and shrugged. "Does it make a difference if I am afraid of the future or not?"

Tohru looked away from Kyou. Taking a deep breath, Tohru decided she would ask. "Kyou-kun?"

Kyou stopped, and Tohru followed suit. "Yes?" he asked.

Taking another deep breath, Tohru asked quickly, slurring the words together, "Is it true that when we graduate from High School you will be confined? Please tell me its not true." Once she finished, Tohru glanced up at Kyou, wondering what his face expression would look like. When she saw the pensive and hurt look in his eyes, Tohru knew she had said the wrong words.

Meekly Tohru stared at the ground and said, "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize,"Kyou said sternly. Tohru mumbled,"Okay."

They stood in the same position; Kyou glancing off into this distance while Tohru stared at the ground. Finally, Kyou broke the silence by asking Tohru, "Who told you I was to be confined?"

"Akito-san," Tohru admitted.

"When?" Kyou inquired.

"At the summer house," mumbled Tohru nervously. Feeling tears welling up in her eye sockets, Tohru apologized once more. "I'm sorry Kyou-kun. I shouldn't of asked."

Kyou rubbed his head with a hand and said, "It's okay." He looked at Tohru, and saw that she was crying. Worried he said, "Really Tohru, it's okay. I don't mind that you asked, really. I just don'twant totalk about the subject right now. "

Tohru glanced up at Kyou as he held out his right hand. Tohru looked at the hand, gave a bright smile as she grabbed his hand. Together they continued walkingtowards school with a common understanding.

When Tohru and Kyou arrived at school, Uo and Hana were waiting for them. Uo, grabbing Tohru's arm and shooting Kyou a nasty look, said, "Come on troops, let's get to homeroom because I want to know what I am going to be in a few years."

"Yes," mused Hana following Uo who was still grabbing onto Tohru's arm. "I too want to know."

"And I don't give a care," said Kyou who lagged far behind the three girls.

As they walked towards the classroom, Uo let go of Tohru's arm and asked, "Where is Prince Charming?"

Tohru answered, "Yuki-kun has class officer duties this morning."

"Class officer duties sure do keep him busy," said Uo.

"Yes," said Hana. "I do wonder though..."

"Wonder what?" asked Tohru looking at her friend.

"Why he has not taken the opprotunity to-" Hana began pointing her finger at Kyou who had up caught up with the three girls.

"I thought we already discussed this yesterday. They both are thick, end of story," said Uo glancing at Tohru and Kyou. "And by the way Hana-chan it is not polite to point at people."

Glancing at her finger which was still pointed at Kyou, Hana brought it down and mused, "Yes, we did have a similiar conversation yesterday."

"Good," said Uo. "Now lets get ourselves into that classroom." Uo pointed at classroom 106, grabbed Tohru's arm again, and pulled her to the classroom. Behind Uo and Tohru, Kyou stepped into the classroom and asked stupidly, "Didn't you just say it's not polite to point?"

Uo turned around to face the orange haired boy and said, "I said, it's not polite to point at people, punk."

Before Kyou could come up with a good come back, the bell rang and the students sat at their assigned seats. The teacher walked into the classroom holding a folder thick with papers. Everyone in the class did not speak as the teacher took out a handfull of papers. The teacher walked over to the first row, shuffled through the papers, and handed a packet to the first student. The teacher continued passing out the papers until everyone received their rightful packet.

After Tohru received her results, she glanced down with great ecstasy. As she looked at her results, she heard a small gasp come from behind her. Turning around to look at Kyou who was sitting behind her, she asked, "Bad results?"

Kyou mumbled some incoherent words and passed the packet forward so Tohru could take a closer look. Tohru looked down at the results and widened her eyes. Almost none of the options fitted Kyou at all.

Uo, who noticed Kyou giving Tohru his results, snatched the packet from Tohru's grip after she had a chance to look it over for a few seconds. Looking down at the results, Uo laughed and said, "Orangey, are you sure you received the right results?"

Placing his arms over his head, Kyou mumbled a few more incoherent words. Uo laughed again, and turned to Tohru, Hana, and Yuki. "Did you three get any better results than Orangey?"

Hana shrugged, and looked around the room with indifference whileYuki looked at Uo, and said, "Out of seven options, I might consider two."

Tohru looked at Yuki and said, "Only two, Yuki-kun?" Yuki nodded his head, and Uo asked, "Can I see your results?"

Yuki handed his results to Uo, while Tohru and Hana came over to look over her sholder. Reading down the list, Tohru looked perplexed, Hana looked indifferent, while Uo had a huge grin creaping through her face. Gleefully reporting to Kyou, Uo said,"Orangey, I think you actually did better than Prince Charming. Who'd ever thought that Prince Charming would make a good mime?"
