A/N: I'm glad everyone like the last chapter so much! Just incase anyone is worried that the story is too light and not going to go anywhere, I assure thats not the case. The forshadowing in the 1st chapter will play a key role later on...
But thats later. Until then, Enjoy!

Chapter 3: Panda-Criminal-san
Kyo sprung away from her as soon as he'd heard Shigure's voice. That and his lewd remark caused a deep flush to set over his features. He could feel his face blazing and hated it. "Get the hell out!" growled.
Shigure crossed his arms and gave Kyo a snort. "So you can have your wicked way with the girl? I'm shocked, Kyo! I really thought you had more tact than that."
Kyo felt like hitting something hard. He clenched his fist and fantasized about punching the damn dog in the nose. He just barely restrained himself, but was still raging mad. "Nothing happened, you perverted freak!" he shouted instead.
Shigure placed a hand over his heart and sighed dramatically. "Ah, young love. Tis such a sweet thing to behold… But really Kyo, if your going to seduce Tohru, try not to be so loud that every-one in the house can hear you." Shigure rubbed his ears as if the noise was too much for him.
"I'M NOT TRYING TO SEDUCE TOHRU!"
Shigure just shrugged. Which was of course, an absolutely infuriating action that ticked Kyo off even more. Kyo rolled up his sleeves and started towards Shigure.
"Why-You-S--!"
"……the panda bear has my gun….." Tohru interrupted.
Kyo whirled around to stare at Tohru.
"Uh, what…?" Shigure looked at Tohru in confusion.
Tohru was still laying face-first on her pillow, unmoving. Shigure scratched his chin thoughtfully before he walked over to the bed and reached out to poke her.
Kyo caught his hand in an iron grip, mid-air. "What the hell do you think your doing!" he hissed.
"I just wanted to see what would happen." Shigure whined, rubbing his hand.
"Yeah! See your self outta here!" Kyo fumed.
Shigure completely ignored that. "Tohru are you alright?" he asked, turning his attention to her.
"……..the man-eating cannibals work for me……." She replied brightly
Kyo's eyes narrowed. She was speaking gibberish. He moved closer so he could turn her over. Sure enough, her eyes were closed and her breathing was steady. Could she really sleep through all the noise they were making?
Shigure grinned. "I didn't know she talked in her sleep..."
Kyo didn't hear Shigure's comment. His attention was fixated on the purple bruise on her forehead. Stupid girl…He'd better go get some ice to stop the swelling before she ended up wearing that nasty bash for the rest of the week. Without a word, Kyo left the room and headed downstairs into the kitchen.

He grabbed an ice pack from the freezer and headed up-stairs again. As he neared Tohru's room he heard Shigure speaking.
"I see…So he drunk the magic potion?"
" mmmhhmmmm……he…stole…my wallet toooo…."
Shigure covered his mouth to keep from bursting out in laughter. He fairly doubled over; it was so hard to contain himself. When he looked up he saw Kyo in the door-way glaring at him.
"What the heck do you think you're doing?" he snarled before throwing the bag of ice at him.
The ice pack whacked Shigure squarely in his head. "OW!" Shigure yelped. He rubbed his head wincing, and then picked up the bag of ice. "What's this for?" He asked.
Kyo huffed, "God, are you blind? Didn't you see the bump on her head? If it's not iced it'll be twice that size tomorrow."
"Oh." Shigure placed the bag on Tohru's head carefully.
Kyo turned to leave, but paused to turn around speak. "I'm going out. Make sure she doesn't over-exert herself or I'll beat the crap out of you."
Shigure looked at him for a moment with curious regard, then smiled and waved. "I love you too, Kyo-kun. Have a nice day!"
Kyo's response was to slam the door shut.

Tohru didn't wake up until much later that afternoon. She rubbed her head at the memory of bashing into the wall but didn't feel the bump she expected to be there. Her back felt much better too. She must have hurt herself when she fainted. But Kyo had worked magic with his fingers, and she felt immensely better. Other than that, Tohru didn't remember what had happened after that first wave of nausea hit her. She shrugged and got out of bed, heading for the bathroom. Tohru walked over to the sink to wash her face and immediately blanched when she saw her reflection in the mirror hanging above. I'm really a mess. She thought sourly. Her dirty face was caked with mud and soot and her tangled hair resembled a rats nest. Tohru's pajama top was beyond salvage; it was ripped and torn in too many places to count. Her pants were a bit thread bare, but other-wise ok. She lifted one foot to check out howit had fared.
Not pretty.
I guess this is what you get for running out in the woods without putting on a decent pair of shoes, first, an inaudible voice scolded.
Kyo-kun could have really been hurt! I was really worried! His room was empty- what was I supposed to think?
You got worked up over nothing.
Tohru shifted shamefully. Yeah, I guess I overreacted a little. . . But still- I'm just glad he's okay.
Yes…But... if he wasn't in his room... where was he?
Out on a walk, perhaps?
I'm so sure. And how many people do you know go out for a nature walk at four AM?
Um, well….uh...
He's up to something…
It was automatic for Tohru to deny it, but still…she couldn't shake the feeling that that little voice in her head was right.
Something was up.

A/N: Just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm one of those people who talks non-stop in thier sleep. I really find that funny but unfortunately those who are kept awake by my endless chatter don't exactly feel the same way...
I'm sorry if this chapter is a little short, but I've got to study for a test. I'll make it it by writing a decent chapter next. But it might take a few days... I'll try to get it up asap, so you can expect in around Wensday evening, or hopefully Tuesday. If it takes too long, please don't flame me! (ducks)
