About fifteen minutes after Kyo and Yuki's encounter, Kyo wandered down the stairs in his all black uniform. His bare feet softly landing and pushing off of the light oak stairs, Kyo made his way to the bottom of the stairs and looked down the hall, seeing Yuki carrying a plate of food to the next room. Curious about what was happening, Kyo walked towards the room Yuki had just entered. It was the same room they usually ate in, but Yuki was carrying food. "What the hell is going on?" He asked Yuki curiously as he sat down at the table, knee up and his hand resting on it.

"Tohru is teaching me how to cook you stupid cat." Yuki said in a voice above a whisper, trying not to ruin his good mood. Kyo looked a little surprised at the fact that Yuki wanted to learn how to cook. Smiling and laughing a bit, Kyo grinned and said "Good luck." sarcastically. Setting a golden plate down on the dark maple table, Yuki ignored Kyo's comment and sat down across the table from him. Reaching for the plate filled with onigiri, Kyo quickly grabbed the white onigiri with his long slender fingers. Very gracefully, Yuki did the same as he turned his head, the grey hair gently falling in front of his face. Yuki looked at the door way after Shiguri entered he room. With a dazed look on his face, Shiguri sat down next to Yuki smiling.

 Now for a look inside Shigure's head. 'High School girls, High School girls, all for me, High School girls.'

Back to reality…

As the two teens reached for the onigiri, their hands gently brushed up against each other. A large blush came over both of their faces as they quickly pulled(more like yanked) their hands back. Breaking the awkwardness in the room between the two, Tohru came into the room with the main course prepared, smiling and laughing.

Kyo quickly brought the onigiri he held to his mouth. Chomping into it, his face went blue and he dropped the onigiri, running out of the room. Yuki giggled a bit as he nibbled on his treat. "Yuki…?" Shigure asked quietly. "…was that a leek onigiri?" Nothing came out of the rat's mouth except for a small giggle as he continued nibbling away at it. Staring into the distance with his pure violet eyes, Yuki smiled, thinking about seven different things on his mind, especially what had happened earlier.

About a half hour later, Kyo's brown bag sat in the entrance hall, right next to his shoes. "Shit, shit. I'm late!" Kyo said, scrambling around in his room, trying to find his bag. "God damn it!" He said, looking everywhere. About five minutes later, he ran down the stairs, tripping. Tumbling down the stairs, his head hit the wall in front of the stairs with great force. "Oww…" Kyo growled as he quickly stood up and ran to the entrance way, finding it. He saw that Tohru and Yuki's shoes were already gone. Quickly rushing out the door, Kyo dashed, trying to catch up with the two that had left him behind.

About half way to school, Yuki walked down the small dirt path, the surrounding cherry blossoms in full bloom. Yuki was really happy today, which was very unusual.

Yuki's feelings inside:

High School was really hard for him, not the academic part, but socially. His school was very…straight. In his junior year, he was the only gay boy (who was out) in his class of about 200 people. Yuki had almost no social life before he met Tohru. Tohru became his best friend and introduced him to Hana and Uo. Yuki was happy with his new friends, but about sophomore year, the whole in his life started to become unbearable. Seeing the couples walking down the hall, kissing and holding hands, Yuki started to get jealous and lonely. No one would know how he felt through it wasn't his personality to show his true feelings.

As Yuki walked, a small cherry blossom flower floated in the air, softly landing on Yuki's nose. Positioning his pink colored bottom lip so when he blew the air out of his mouth, the air would travel up and blow the petal off of his pale nose. The petal floating off of his nose, Yuki smiled at its beauty as it gracefully fell to the ground.

Turning his head at the screaming, Yuki smiled, but quickly wiped it off his face as Kyo came up to them. "Damn rat. Why didn't you wait?" Kyo asked, huffing and puffing. "Oh, sorry Kyo, but we were going to be late if we didn't leave." Tohru said, explaining. Tohru stood in between them, grabbing one hand of each of the teens.
