HI! First of all, I wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your reviews are really my inspiration, and I love recieving them!
They are all so nice, and they make me smile and laugh and tear up slightly. Lol. Ok here it is, as promised, Chapter 9!

Chapter 9: Unexpected Transformations

" I AM SO SORRY!"
" It's ok, it's no big deal," the orange cat replied.
" No it's not! I can't believe this always happens when I am around! I'm such an idiot!" Tohru's eyes teared up, to noone's surprise.
Kyo sighed quietly. He was the idiot. He just had to lean against her like that. He wasn't even thinking. He sighed again.
" Look, Tohru it was my fault. I was leaning against you and-"
POOF!
For the second time in a very short while, Tohru saw Kyo completely nude. ( Lucky son of a- ahem)
She screamed slightly and had a small spaz.
"Um, I'm just gonna go now," Tohru said.
" Ok," Kyo replied, grabbing his towel again. Tohru left quite quickly. She closed ( or rather slammed) the door very fast.
She leaned her back against the door, and grinned. Oh my, was all she could think. She proceeded down the stairs, blushing profusely. She made it to the second landing and stopped momentarily.
" Miss Honda, is something wrong?" Yuki asked, brow slightly furrowed.
For a moment, Tohru didn't answer. Shigure began to notice something was wrong also.
"Tohru?"
Her head was slightly down. She looked up quickly, smiling.
"Nope, Yuki everything is fine!" she said cheerfully.
Indeed, things were better than fine! She felt light as air. The boy she had liked all along liked her back! It was more than she could ever ask for. She walked into the kitchen to serve dinner. She entered the room, and was surprised to see Haru there, looking extra-hot sopping wet. He had a white towel around his neck. He was leaning against the kitchen wall with his eyes closed.
He had a small smile in his slightly wet face. Tohru smiled also. She knew that Yuki had comforted him, and gave him a reason to smile so tenderly. He was the only reason he was standing before her today.
Thank you, Yuki, for giving him the strength he needs, Tohru thought.
"Hello, Hatsuharu, are you hungry? I made some dinner for you," Tohru said, walking to the stove.
"Hi Tohru, yes that would be great," he replied. He closed his eyes again.
He was thinking of the events of the day, with the fight of Kyo ommited, of course. He knew, deep down, though, he would have to face Kyo, and his demons someday. But not today. Today, he was given an opportunity to kiss the love of his life, and he did. And it, he knew, was the best decision of his life. Yuki knew how Haru felt about him because of the words he told him, but know he knew how deeply he felt about him by the action he took today. Haru laughed slightly to himself. He was so nervous, with Yuki in the locker room.
He still could not get over how.... beautiful Yuki was. He was almost like a girl, instead of a man. He had this femininity about him, which Haru found quite refreshing, as many of the men in Sohma house were arrogant, macho and acted much more manly than neccessary.
Not that Haru could say he didn't do that sometimes. He laughed again. He was stirred out of his thoughts.
He found himelf alone in the kitchen, as everyone else was already seated and eating. He walked cautiously to the door.
He put a hand on the door frame and leaned in slightly. He was very relieved to see Kyo's spot vacant.
Tohru looked up at him, and smiled.
" I'm sorry I didn't call you, but you were thinking about something and I didn't want to interfere," Haru smiled and sat down in a single fluid gesture.
Kyo was not as relieved and carefree as his younger cousin. He was still in turmoil. "Damnit!" He punched the wall in the hallway. Some little pieces of wall flew down onto the floor gently.
Kyo was pissed. He felt about ready to have another 4-month training session with his Master deep in the mountains.
Mostly he wanted to kill Yuki. He kicked the wall this time, causing him more pain in his big toe than actual damage to the wall.
Downstairs they could hear all the noise. They heard 2 loud thumps, small silence then Kyo's anguished howling.
" Baka neko, what is he doing?" Yuki said angily.
" Isn't is obvious?" Shigure sighed, and stood up. He took and deep breath and,"
Kyo! Stop destroying my house, damnit! You're supposed to be injured!"
He took another deep breath, sat down again and commenced eating.
The younger Sohma men and Tohru looked at Shigure. He looked up.
" What? He was destroying my house."
He raised his chopsticks to his lips and continued eating. Tohru spooned out some rice for Haru.
He nodded his thanks and began to eat. He didn't realize how hungry he was until he began to eat the delicious meal that Tohru had prepared.
He let the taste linger on his tongue, closing his eyes, breathing deeply.
Tohru looked at him and smiled slightly. He was wet, cold, tired, hurt and full of guilt, but a good warm meal seems to take it all away.
Yuki and Shigure finished their dinners and stood up.
" I'm going upstairs to do some schoolwork," Yuki said.
"And I'm going to finish my new novel; Lust: The Sohma Shigure story," Shigure announced.
The group looked at him, half curiously and half completely disgusted for the second time that evening.
He floated down the hallway to his study, girlishly and carefree. Tohru laughed quietly and began to gather the bowls and silverware.
" Can I help?" Haru asked.
" Oh no, it's fine! I can do it myself. Besides, don't you have any homework to do tonight?"
Haru nodded, remembering the Math assignment due for tomorrow. He groaned. He loathed Math, but he remembered that Yuki was very good at it.
He had a thought.
He decided to ask Yuki to help him with his Math. It was a chance to talk to Yuki. Haru developed a plan.
And nothing would get in his way.
Nothing.
