Dun dun dun! Chapter 38! Is anyone as excited as I am?

Point of No Return

Tohru's POV

As I scrubbed dishes in the kitchen I heard the front door open.

"Hello?" It was too early for Kyo to be back from the dojo and Shigure was hiding on the roof from his publisher. That left Kyra, Yuki, or a serial rapist. I felt the blood drain form my head as I thought about my calling out to who ever was there. My knees shook as the kitchen door began to slide open...

"Oh. Hey Tohru. Haru wanted to know if he could stay for dinner." Kyra stood before me leaning casually against the doorway. She seemed happy and relaxed, definitely not how she was acting at lunch today.

"Sure he can. Did something happen this afternoon, you look... different." She just shrugged and smirked before exiting the room. A few moments later I heard the TV turn on and noise filled the house. I just turned back to my task at hand before I started dinner.

Soon enough dinner was ready and everyone was sitting at the table ready to eat. Yuki was reading a book on growing rhubarb, Kyo's hair was still wet from his shower, and Shigure was smoking his pipe while watching Haru and Kyra not so discreetly flirted.

"Enjoy everyone!" I set the platter down and it was eaten quickly. As Kyra and I were clearing away the dishes I saw something on Haru's arm. "Haru, what's that on your arm?" Out of the corner of my eye I saw Kyra suppress a giggle as Haru inspected his arm. When the spider carcass came into his view he grabbed the towel around Kyo's neck and began furiously wiping at what appeared to be a bug. Haru had pulled the towel so fast it had left a carpet burn on the back of Kyo's neck which put him in a bad mood.

"What's your problem Haru? Huh? You gave me a carpet burn you ass!" Kyra was full out laughing now and I just glanced from person to person unsure of what to do. Kyo's taunts where making Haru angry, a vein in Yuki's forehead was pulsating with anger at all the noise, Shigure was smile softly puffing on his pipe even more, and Kyra had collapsed on to the floor holding her sides because she was laughing so hard.

"Bring it you stupid cat! I can take you anytime, anywhere!" Black Haru stood from the table. The tension between Kyo and him was electric.

"How about right now, outside. Maybe this time you won't chicken out on me like last time." Kyo shot back.

"Yeah right, I left because I didn't want to break little Tohru's heart when I broke your neck." Kyra finally stood up again but she was still laughing.

"Don't fight... you guys" she tried to interject between her outbursts but it didn't help.

"Yeah Haru listen to your little girlfriend and back down." Kyra stopped laughing and blushed.

"Now you're gonna get it!" Haru yelled and jumped over the table and tackled Kyo. It seemed to happen in slow motion. Slowly the two hurling masses flew towards Shigure's brand new paper door. I saw Shigure stand up and he reached for them but was too late. The impact tore a giant gaping hole in the door. When Haru and Kyo landed they began to fight. Punching, kicking, biting, everything. Both Kyra and I were staring at them as Yuki stood. Calmly he strode over to their bloody banter before he grabbed each by the back of the neck. The vein on his forehead was more pronounced than ever as he pulled Haru and Kyo apart.

"Shut up both of you! I am sick and tired of your bickering. Just stop it!" Yuki snapped. I felt my eyes bulge and my mouth fall open. Kyra's did the same. Shigure thought this would be a good place to interject his opinion.

"You know Yuki, does that also include your and Kyo's constant bickering?" Both Kyo and Yuki's eyes turned to slits and Yuki dropped both Haru and Kyo. Haru was no longer Black so he just watched as Yuki and Kyo turned on Shigure. They didn't even need to say anything before Shigure realized what he was up against. "I was just kidding you guys. Honestly you take things to seriously." In a dismissive tone Shigure tried to save himself and waved his suggestion aside.

"Shigure, you better start running." Kyra commented watching as the two slowly moved forward.

"Right!" With that Shigure shot off and Yuki and Kyo followed close behind. Kyra, Haru, and I sat down at the table again. A loud crash was heard upstairs and we saw Shigure fall. Yuki and Kyo must have thrown him out of one of the windows upstairs. He hit the ground next to the door and we all cringed. I stood up with the first aid kit (it's magic!) and went to his aid. Yuki and Kyo climbed down the stairs together sniping at each other.

"You stupid cat if you had just left Haru alone none of this would have happened."

"Yeah right you damn rat, your royal ass would have followed Shigure's even if Haru hadn't given me a carpet burn!"

"Hey, I am still lying on the ground in pain here and you two are bickering again." Shigure whined. Their heads swiveled towards him and he jumped to his feet. "I'm sorry Haru, but I really must be going. I don't mean to sound rude but I want to keep my knee caps!" With that he sprinted off into the woods. Kyo and Yuki didn't bother following.

"Well who wants dessert?" I asked cheerily trying to get everyone's minds off what had just happened. For the rest of the meal everyone was civil to each other except for a few jabs Yuki and Kyo shot at each other. The night wore on and a few games of Rich man Poor man were played waiting for Shigure's return. At about 11:15 pm he poked him head through the hole in the door.

"Are you guys still mad?" When Kyo and Yuki ignored his question he scuttled in and up the stairs as quickly as possible.

"Well I'm beat. I'm going to bed. Goodnight Tohru, Kyra, Haru." Kyo stood up ready to leave and kissed the top of my head. He froze as an after thought. I felt the blood rush to my face as Yuki's eyes pierced us. Haru and Kyra had also stopped talking. Slowly Kyo straightened and lifted his hands in defense. "Calm down Rat-boy it wasn't that big of a..." Yuki followed Haru's action earlier and tackled Kyo through the door.

Kyra's POV

Yet again there were two guys fighting out in the yard. Of course Yuki was extremely angry at Kyo. I always thought that Yuki knew on some level Tohru liked Kyo, but I guess he had been denying it. Maybe Haru and I should give them time to talk it out. I leaned over and whispered into Haru's ear, "I think they need a little time," he nodded and we stood together. Quietly we snuck up the stairs to the roof. Yuki kept punching and kicking Kyo and Kyo tried to protect himself.

"Yuki, I'm sorry. Calm down I..." Yuki punched him in the stomach so hard the air was knocked out of his lungs.

"Yuki please, stop it." Tohru's soft voice could be heard. Yuki let go of Kyo and stumbled away. Yuki looked Tohru in the eye before shaking his head and walking into the woods.

"Harsh." Haru whispered under his breath. I knew he was close to Yuki but I couldn't help feeling bad for Kyo. I leaned my head on his shoulder and sighed.

This chapter was not as funny as the last, but I still think it was entertaining.
